nuru. >> good afternoon, members of the board of supervisors. since our last meeting last week, we are in agreement with the budget analyst's recommendation and [inaudible]. >> okay, thank you, mr. nuru. colleagues, any questions for mr. nuru at this time? okay. mr. rose, can we go to your report, please, for dpw? >> yes, mr. chairman, members of the committee. on page 41 of our report, our recommended reductions for proposed budget total 536,0 56 in 14-15. of that amount, 265,2 41 are ongoing and 270 are one-time savings. these reductionses would still allow an increase of 58.5 million or 36.7% for the department's 15-16 budget. we also recommend closing out prior year general fund expended encumbrances, which would allow the return of [speaker not understood]. mr. chairman, if you look at the next paragraphs, those numbers don't add up to what the general fund is because it's only a portion that is general fund cut. so, together those recommendations will result in 363,746 savings to the

everything that we can do and don't want to have false expectations here and we will brief director nuru on that soon. >> i'm sorry director i didn't know if you finished your question. before we go director harper has some questions and comments. >> yeah, the idea of the six packages we're 2.5 million off is not what bothers me. with each one the variation was substantial. in one there was a 50% differential between the estimate and the cost and that is something -- even though they evened out by the time we got to the bottom we still have major misestimates on each one high and low and they started canceling and the management has to start looking at this and start asking why is that that in march we can't figure out what's going to be bid in june. >> the assumption -- >> may i interrupt for a second. it would be helpful if staff can wait before they respond and not interrupt. >> i'm sorry. >> he just interrupted. >> the estimate was based on us getting three-four bidders or more. if you look at the middle stairs issued it in january we received one bid. we rejected the bid. it came in
