i just wanted to bring up public works again to address the question that supervisor norman yee yee brought up about what would be an appropriate amount that we could fund in the remaining fiscal year, and just looking at what we had put together with your department, there is 560,000 to purchase the ravos street sweepers, 100,000 for street sweeping terms and supplies, which i assume we could use today. we have the 230,000 in community grants which we could also issue fairly quickly, but i think the question is the 1.6 million that we have set aside for hiring additional street cleaners. i'd like to right size the appropriation given the time passage and reduce the original amount as suggested by supervisor yee. >> supervisor kim, i'm real back of the envelope, so i'm saying the 560,000 for the purchase of the equipment some remain whole. the $100,000 for materials and supplies, we probably could also reduce to about half. the 230,000 to the nonprofit community partner, that is something that i don't any we would want to reduce, and the reason being we agreed there's only a few months left

>> president breed: i was yelling norman yee that i would say wonderful things about him when his time is up. >> supervisor yee: thanks a lot. >> i have good things for you, too. all of you. all of you. but you got to do good work. give me something to talk about. okay. first, ladies and gentlemen, i'm excited because i want to talk to you about a few things. i want to talk to you about the budget and the budget cycle. we are in the season. we are talking about the budget. we are trying to figure out our budget priorities. and last week on the budget and finance committee we had the first priority hearing and the focus was on clean streets across san francisco. the reason we are doing things differently we are trying to create a budget process focus the on policy. we are trying to extrapolate the traffic and nonpoliticking of groups and organizations and get down to the crux of why we serve. so the first presentation that we heard was from the city service auditor from the department of public works. from the department of public health. community benefit districts and the budget legislative analysts. as well
