>> that is part of the budget so that will continue along with the rest of the budget. >> so should i comment? >> yes. >> let me just say that we recommend you approve the ordinance on item 14. our recommended reductions fortd budget total 788, 914. our recommended reduction 107, $968, in 15-16. we are still working with the department and we'll report back to you next week on our final recommendations. >> thank you. mr. ginsberg we understand we are still working on the budget. we'll see you back next wednesday. colleagues, no other comments or questions? thank you very much. up next we have the war memorial. mr. clerk? it's part of our budget. could you call items 12 and 13, please. city clerk: sf sf 12 item 126789 ordinance appropriating an additional $14, 496, 0112 for the veterans building seismic upgrade and improvement project of the department of war memorial for fy 2014-2015. item 13: [issuance of tax exempt and taxable lease revenue commercial paper notes - war memorial project - not to exceed $14,500,000] 13. 140641 sponsor: mayor resolution authorizing the execution and de

my view of the budget is we've really sort of dug ourself out of the budget crisis, but not much more than that in this budget. and so in terms of the work that commissioner norton and commissioner fewer launched in all the other commissioners have engaged in in terms of vision 2025, we haven't even really begun to fund our vision of what the school district will look like in 2025, and so while this is a tremendous improvement over the past four, five, six, seven years, where we have been looking at budget cuts and furlough, otherwise known as no learning days, we really are only just now digging ourselves out of that hole thanks to the chronic underfunding of the state. so thanks to proposition 30 and the support from the community for local revenues we're at this place, but i would like to emphasize that we really need to make up much larger investment in our school budgets . >> okay. last comment . so i -- i think this book looks way better too, josh. and part of it is the paper's very nice, and it's easier to reads, i like the format. but still, it's a really complicated process,

chosen vendor, for the budgeted number of chairs is $5500 less than the department's budget amount including shipping and taxes the department budgeted 46 work stations of an average cost of $4400. that is 204,000 in total, similar high quality work stations from vendors cost, $1500 to $2500 less per work station. one dishwasher at $1900, $1300 greater than the median dishwasher, on best buy.com, and two fridges at $1800 per, and $1,000 greater than the median price on best buy.com, and one lecturn, over 3800 more than the highest on office max and 2438 greater than median price on office max.com, the department has provided one vendor quote for movage and stoertage of the art collection, and our recommended reduction of 100,000 if it is accepted the department would still have over 600,000 or 68 percent of its total budget, to purchase furniture and equipment, more than the amount based on the budget and analyst review. this is a classic example of what our analysts do. and as far as the temporary salaries are concerned, that was based on historical experience and reflect the actu

>> and our recommendation, and we looked at each one of those in the respectful department budgets and made the recommendations in the budgets, why we included that in there is more of how it is budgeted, that we believe that those should be budgeted as the continuing projects and so it is more of a budget approach, rather than a savings. >> and it was factored in during each department's recommendations that you made to each department? on looking at problematic projects like that? >> that is correct. >> thank you. >> and i also wanted to say that i know that from the budget justice, of coalition and the public hearings that we have held that many in the communities were highlighting what supervisor avalos mentioned as the displacement crisis, and rapid rehousing and some of the other issues to me are survival issues for many people to stay in the city, during the crisis that is pushing many out, and if we do have additional revenue, my hope is that it goes towards this critical safety net and not only for the people on the verge of being displaced but also, those who go to bed hungry

the ~ budget analyst recommendations. i don't know how to rephrase it. it's a little [speaker not understood] at this point. but not to accept the 77,000 for year one, 133 for year two as outlined by [speaker not understood] and her staff. so, accepting the agreed upon cuts with the exception of those year one, year two line items. and, you know, it's always hard in this position where we hear [speaker not understood] between the department and the budget analyst. when you talk about what's necessary and what's not necessary as opposed to attrition savings, whatever else, it becomes challenging for us. but when i look at these are not large numbers and they seem to be meaningful for the department, if they're not particularly large numbers for the general fund and, so, i guess i'll make a motion to [speaker not understood] as stated. >> second. >> mr. rose? >> mr. chairman, as stated we accept whatever the committee -- we don't know, supervisor wiener, where that 77,000 is in our cuts. we don't -- we can't identify it. i d

we have been working with the budget analyst on the budget. we're working to come to agreement. we will continue to do so over the next week. i am concerned about making sure that we have the staff positions to cover the backlog that we have. we are as i said the volume is unprecedented and it's important to staff up while we have the revenue in order to cover the positions and move forward so with that i will close and happy to take any questions. thank you. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you mr. chairman. thank you for the presentation. i know that the budget analyst is recommending elimination of i think around four positions that the department that are included in the department's budget. i have concerns about eliminating those positions because the department is just overwhelmed at this point and we see it all the time in terms of calls from constituent and working with the department. i think it's taking a minimum of four, five, six months even to assign an environmental review officer to a project. that doesn't mean any work has happened but just to get an assignment so i

>> okay, could i have a motion to accept the budget analyst recommendations? so moved and we can take it without objection. >> okay, thank you, mr. rore? >> good afternoon, committee members, director of the human services agency, and i am happy to report that we are in agreement with the budget analyst proposed reductions, to our budget, and however, we are not in agreement on additional recommendation regarding putting over two million dollars of salary money on reserve. and the budget analyst and the department to give more information and i can provide that information to the committee today if you would like. >> okay. >> thank you. >> i am surprised that he can provide it today, we have been requesting that information, most respectfully and we have not received that information. but, do we have... our recommendations on page 64, our recommended reductions proposed budget 1 million 104,242, of that amount, 589,234 ongoing, and a one time safe ands these reductions will allow, increase of 86 million, or 11.7 percent of the department 14/15 budget and they w

also want to thank office support we got from the budget analyst and the controller, controller's office, mayor's budget office as well. this is a city, a budget that really reflects a lot of the city's politics and city's values and i just think that it's something that moving forward we'll be really great for this coming year. so, i just want to put credit where credit is due. also of course our legislative staff who have been involved in this effort as well, kevin stephany and mark farrell's office to interns like david schecter in my office, [speaker not understood] who is in supervisor yee's office, beth rubenstein in my office and [speaker not understood] in my office as well. justify want to say thank you for all your great work. of course many people not thanking as well, but just want to say it's worthy to pass and look forward to its passage today. ~ just, not justify >> supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. i just want to acknowledge all the hard work of the folks that sat on the budget committee. thank you, i know it's been very difficult to make these types of decisionse

priorities in the district and it's a balanced budget. in particular i want to let you know that citywide we're going to get that million dollars for pedestrian safety to really make sure that we are putting the complete treatment on many of our critical intersections and on top of bike improvements that's something i'll proud this board for vision zero and the fatalities of traffic in 10 years. two really glad to see the security we have a long waiting list of that disabled folks who want meal and thank you to the security task force. i know this group has worked 6 months in advance to put together a budget i'm glad they've focused on prevent actives i think the eviction counseling as well as the subsidies to keep people in place are vital to help stop some of the bleeding that's happening and the youbl i'm glad we're supporting them and there i want to see the children's funds increased and hopefully do more around transition i'm glad we're looking at gender liability and i'm glad to see we're supporting breast cancer work it's about gen

the year and years ahead. this is a summary of our budget, and fte's. as you can see, for the most part, our fde and budget have remained flat comparing last year to this year, the difference between those -- our budget and numbers are $500,000 is due to negotiations by the city over labor contracts. the fde's, from 157 to 158 as i mentioned later are due to two positions that will be used to fund our legal education advocacy program. we measure the quality of our work through the work load. you can see, this is our felony in miss demeanor case load. we handle 10,000 case loads and 6,000 miss demeanor cases and you'll see our annual case load in all categories is beyond that, which is represented by the american bar association national association's standard and you'll see we use case waiting which measures the cases and work hours done by each attorney. the work hours for an attorney is 61 hours and for miss demeanor, it was 16 hours a week. the case load exceeded that provided by the american bar association and clearly the work. i should note that ou

that we have been in the budget analyst report that was about reducing that work order? and i just want to make sure that is in this report or not? i hear from the legislative aid, but i wonder if there is any room to, i know that we made the program and plans in place and we have had the issues of security and i have visited the hospital and learned about the security issues that there are and i wonder if there is any recommended cost savings based on the budget analyst work, that you might know about? i have a figure before me, of that seems really large, but i want to see if there is any analysis that is behind it. mr. rose... >> mr. chairman and members of the committee, supervisor avalos, i don't believe that we have a recommended reduction in our report. and that you are referring to. >> okay. >> thank you. >> and just, if i could, supervisor avalos, what came out of also an audit that i and the mayor had called for, about sfgeneral and the department of public health, about security services, at sfgeneral, and this comports with the results of that audit. and of th

and, so, we have the position in our budget. what we have to make sure of is we have the funding to continue it. now, if we disrupted the program for two months and we laid off the social worker for two months or laid off the attorney for a month in order to make up the amount in the attrition so he we don't run over, that would be one solution. but, again, i'm hoping that we don't have to disrupt either of the positions because the program is -- it's important the program be sustained throughout the year. >> thank you. so, i'm also supportive of -- and i know the public defender has accepted several of the budget analyst cuts, but i don't support cutting the attrition savings. >> mr. rose, why don't we go to your report and we can flesh this out. thanks. >> mr. chairman and member of the committee, our recommendation has absolutely nothing to do with public defender mentioned three things. the district attorney's budget, the leap program, and the indigent defense program. our recommendation had a absolutely nothing to do with an

maybe it's in the budget book or something, but i don't know how we're calculating that. i've said this before, but i'd like some sort of thought process or response to including the security guards in the funding that we're spending on supporting targeted pupils. i don't have any problem with security guards, obviously it's important that we have them. it just don't know if that's what was intended when we received additional funding to support low income students and el students and foster youth to be spending additional money on security gashdz. guards. that's one particular thing i had concern on. again, thank you and those are my comments. >> let me start my comments with acknowledgments. this really was a massive community engagement process and i want to thank the district advisory group's offices and programs, in particular the parent advisory counsel, the district english lerner advisory council, the office of equity, family and youth in transition and to foster youth services, but also the outreach of community organizations and we're talking about 400 participan

because the only thing we have is the budget and budget analyst report for ems and supports the increase in this year's proposed budget so do you have any information about that that we can use to be better informed about why there is additional money needed for ems? >> absolutely. we submitted a request to the mayor's office as part of the proposed budget for $10 million for ems division and included 42 additional paramedics in the ambulance tier as well as supervision over at station 49 and the ambulance depot so a big chunk of personnel and in addition to that we requested additional funding for ambulances and medical splice et cetera. we worked with the mayor's office over the budget process and were allocated $3 million of the $10 million accounting for 16 new ambulance tier personnel instead of the 42 as well as the restoring of section chief in operations for ems, and the allocation of three additional ambulances for the department. that is what the agreement has been with the mayor's office and we will continue to work over the year in the work room structure to further outline t

or 2.3 percent in the department 15-16 budget. we're work with the sheriff and we'll report back to the committee next week. >> okay. thank you. supervisor breed. >> i do have a question. sheriff, do you -- can you tell me what's happened since last year. i know there was a need for mental health services before the ma population and the jail, and can you explain to me what has changed because it doesn't appear to be something you're asking for for this fiscal year. >> i was going for more because i feel this is a population that merits more attention than i think the city is giving them. and we rely heavily on the jail psychiatric services or jps which is top light work in the jail system but they're under resource and under staff. it has been my impression although i was not a former part of what is the care task force and others that there's going to be a more concerted effort in trying to help our population that stieples in and out of our jail system that suffers from mental illness. i'm at the cross roads of this question and

and we are in agreement of the proposed budget for the next fiscal year. if you have any questions, i will be more than happy to answer. >> thank you. colleagues, any questions? okay. we don't have a budget analyst report. thank you for being in front of us. >> thank you. up next we have our arts commission. i see tom here. madam clerk can you call item 3 with this budget, please. city clerk: item no. 3. item 3: [administrative code - use of art enrichment funds and maintenance of public art] 3. 140623 sponsor: mayor ordinance amending the administrative code to define "art enrichment"; to allow aggregation of art enrichment funds for use on any city property rather than only the funding department's property; to allow the arts commission to reserve up to 10art enrichment budget for maintenance and conservation; to allow art enrichment funds to be used exclusively for maintenance and conservation under limited circumstances; and to clarify references to the arts commission's jurisdiction over works of art consistent with the charter; and making environmenta

the tida budget to the full board. at this point we'll take public comment on item number 3. is there anybody in the public that wishes to comment on number 3 before we recess the meeting? seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel] >> colleagues, can i have a motion to put forward item number 3 to the full board? >> so moved. >> we have a motion. we can take that without objection. [gavel] >> okay, thank you very much. thanks, at this point we'll go back to occ. >> good morning, supervisor farrell and members of the budget and finance committee. i am joyce hicks, from the office of citizen complaints. our budget is included in the police department's budget, although we are a separate department. i'd first like to thank mayor lee, budget director kate howard, and analyst jason [speaker not understood] for the proposed occ budget. and also mr. rose and budget analyst [speaker not understood] for their analysis of the proposed budget as well as the board of supervisors. i concur with the recommendations and i am avai

process through the difficulties of a budget analyst report progress making the difficult choices and right as we are approving the budget doing a supplemental i understand the desire to had had supplemental but i i don't like the precedent that it sets. that's not to say you know what might happen if this comes down as a supplemental over the course of the year we'll take that when it and if it comes. i'll say this to those aclu and other nonprofits one of the challenges we had this year as also in the context of the budget we have a very limit set of funds to work with when the budget comes to the board and it's the way the system is set up the mayor has a lot more latitude in terms of the budget so the budget came to us we had the revenue for our nonprofits partners were larger than i've ever seen them there enormous merit to the transportation and the youth and so forth so it put us in a position where we want to fund as much of that as we can and having to choose between increasing services and the cost of doing business adjustments. i think this year pa

kate howard, the mayor's budget director. the mayor's budget this year does not include any additional funding for a paid reserve program in the police department. we are certainly interested in the idea of bringing back current police officers who have decided to retire. i think the chief's plan is a great one. we're eager to see how many current police officers take him up on that opportunity. certainly interested in looking at other ideas, but that's what's included in our budget. >> and in fairness to the mayor's office and ms. reid, we do not have concurrence with the poa and it would require a policy change to do so. so, absent getting a concurrence and an agreement, it depth make sense to put money into the budget for something that can't happen at this time. >> do you anticipate once this gets off the ground with the volunteer program in terms of assessing how it's working and working with the poa around possible next year's budget considering it make sense or does it make sense? i want to make sure that it's not sort

the resources. so this is our departmental budget. the department's budget is made of four funding sources. children's fund, general fund, grants and the school district fund. the children's fund continues to increase due to the improved economy. about $3.8 millionch additional funds has been added to the funds this year. general fund remains at 3 $31 million due to our very low general fund reduction and violence and it intervention service area as well as our nutrition at work. so the department's budget is allocated into four categories. operations, work orders, grants to cbo's and school district. the department operations include dcyf staff, administrative work orders, materials and supplies and rents. it includes our capacity for contracts and provides healthy meals and snacks to programs. this makes up 6 percent of our total budget. do dcyf collaborates with departments and we fund variety of children and youth family programming including early education and wellness centers. dcyf provides $24 million in work orders to fund these programs and services. the proposed 14-15 and 15-16 bu

and the mayor's budget office and of course all of the departments that came before us. and over all, we are a great difference between what kind of a list that we are currently and the kind of revenue that we have to pay for the list of the things that we like to reallocate in the budget and i would want to see if there is additional things that we can take a look at to provide the flexibility of how we can meet the demand for services that are there, over all, i have heard from you know, many people over the past many months, and we all know about our affordable crisis in san francisco, and there are things that we have received especially around housing and the employment services and we also have had the big, requests, and the budget, and the mayor received these as well and around nutrition and the food security, and to about $10 million, also for the support for senior citizens and case management for senior citizens and also, there has been, or needs to be a request for the cola of us, about 1.5 percent in addition to the mayor's addition of 1.5 percent and that e

motion to accept the budget analyst recommendation on item 14. thank you again madam clerk. we can take that without objection and the underlying item without objection and we can also take that without objection. we have one item left and due scheduling issues throughout the day through no fault of their own on the fire department for the last item of the day. can we quickly ask, i know this is cleaning out or mang to our mayor's budget staff if you wanted to present on this item so we can get this approved. i know this is a last year's close out and we want to get this done. oh commissioner, coerce -- -- -- is here. can you call the item. city clerk: item 15, ordinance retruax actively appropriating $677, 587 to over time and deappropriating $677 ks 587 in salaries in the fire department's operating budget in order to support the department's projected increases in over time. >> mr.. corso. >> thank you mr. chairman, i apologize for the delay. the next item is an over time supplement for the fire indemnity. department. there are two aspects to it. one is the general fund su

>> the amendment basically reflects the budget analyst report which took the prior year budget and it reduce it had to the actual expense. we're in agreement because we didn't spend the money in prior years. budget going forward is as we requested so we're in agreement. >> thank you. >> okay. mr. rose, can we go to your report? >> yes, mr. chairman. our recommendation is on page 36 of our report and based on discussions with the department of public health we do have a couple of revisionses to our recommendations which i will enunciate now. again, based on the expenditure data submitted by the department of public health, we recommend that you amend the proposed resolution to amend the not to exceed contract for children youth and families by 915,175 [speaker not understood] to the recommended 19,90 4.52 and adults by 53 3,554 from the requested 23 million 135,605 to the recommended 22 million 60 20 62. the total recommended reduction and the not to exceed contract amount is a million 4 48,718. we requested [speaker not understood] to the recommended, and this is the first, supervisor

it is my honor to present the fiscal year 2014 through 2016 budget. before i get started i just really want to thank the mayor's budget office, harvey rose's office and the board of supervisors with this presentation. my first slide is basically the organizational structure. it just gives you a quick glimpse which most of you know already are the [speaker not understood] of the different organizations in the city administrator's office. the one new program transferring to the city administrative office this year is [speaker not understood] from the department of technology into our office and that is the only new program for this year. and in addition there is a smaller program, healthy cleaning up program transferring from the department of environment to the city administrative office. our two-year budget outlook for fiscal year 14-15 is 307 million. 15-16, 308 million. for capital investments for fiscal year '15 we anticipate 11.3 million in capital improvements. the majority of which are adh ambition plan, facility maintenance, [speaker not underst

the future. our two year budget outlook focuses on capital initiative and the changes in the budget are related to the structural and operational needs of the program. the our juvenile hall facility needs revamping of the closed sir kit camera systems. many of the systems have far exceeded their life cycle and buildings are in access of 50 to 60 years old, so facility maintenance is a primary focus following years of deferred maintenance. other capital investments, further the department's focus of keeping it ada compliant and safe for occupant and visitors. as we look at the budget outlook, by comparison, the juvenile probation department, the changes you see in the salaries and the department are attributed to the obligations. this has resulted in a $226,000 savings to the city, in fiscal year 2014-15. the $28,000 reduction in community based grants is achieved through the shifting of fund obligations over to a youthful block grant that we received from the state. overall, the department's budget for 2014-15 is approximately $38.7 million. and $1.9 increase over fiscal year 2013-2014. the depart

i want to thank the chair of the budget committee, supervisor farrell. and with my staff i want to thank carolyn goosen who has been working with us on this important document, which is the most important policy document that we can pass as an elected body. and i especially want to thank the members of the community who time and time again come to city hall to work with us every year to make sure that we have a budget that reflects our priorities. so, well done, and i'm happy to be supportive today. >> supervisor yee. >> thank you, president chiu. i'll join the chorus line. i want to thank the members of the budget committee, and particularly chair farrell and supervisors -- supervisor avalos in their leadership in bringing this budget together fairly quickly. there's many choices we have to make and for this budget process, i'm glad we were able to add back and support additional funding for quite a few of the items, such as food security and services for the homeless. however, i was fairly disappointed that there was no funding allocated for early educa

so the budget proposal that's before you that was included in the mayor's budget has a portion of those savings, $810,000 to go towards the rate increase and the remaining $500,000 is reduced from the program's budget and as mr. rose indicates to you in his report, the program is projected to not have access funding so he has not represented any reductions and the court has no problem with that, so therefore we're in agreement with mr. rose, so thank you for your time and i'm happy to take any questions if you have any. >> colleagues, any questions. i'm glad to hear you're in agreement with no cuts. >> mr. rose, can we go to your reports. >> i'm shocked that the department concurs. speaker: you have to understand what a rarity it is to no cuts. >> it demonstrates the agitated -- >> if we can't make a cut, we're not going to recommend that. but on page 72 for the record, mr. chairman and members of the committee, we do not have any recommended reductions for both fiscal years 14-15 or 15-16 and we recommend you approve the budget as up. >> thank you. >> we have our sheriff's office up ne

the budget but the
