Im happy to answer any questions and my colleague, Caroline Mccormick is here, as well as a representative. Thank you so much. Thank you. Lets hear from the b. L. A. , please. The board is being asked to approve loans totaling 37. 5 million for the four small sights projects. There are three different types of amounts that are being requested in this legislation. We summarized them on page 15 of our report. 937 clay would receive funding from the Downtown NeighborhoodPreservation Fund as well as the preservation seismic safety program. San carlos, on the 24th Street Project will receive funding from a small sights program as well as the Preservation Program in terms of the loan amount and the loan terms, they are all summarized in that table. The loan amount are for 33. 6 million. This is less than 37. 5 million as specified in the legislation. The difference has to do with a contingency encase project costs are higher than anticipated to allow them to go up to each loan program. We would you have a technical amendment to have the correct amount placed in the legislation we recommend approval as amended lets open this up for Public Comment. Are there any members of the public that would like to comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I understand that the b. L. A. Gives as a recommendation to approve as amended, so can we take that amendment, please . I make a motion to approve that amendment. We can take that without objection, and then i would like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation as amended. Thank you very much. Madame clerk, please call item number 9. Nine is a resolution authorizing the Sheriffs Department to enter into a third amendment to the existing contract between the commissary commissary network and the city for a jail Commissary Services to extend the Term Contract by six months beginning september 1 st for a total term of such ever first, 2014 through for butte 28th, 2020 with no change to the guaranteed annual minimum income of 590,000. Thank you very much. I think we have kristin here from the Sheriffs Department. Yes. Im here today to request approval. The Term Extension of the current inmate commissary by six months from september 21st 2019 to ferrier 28th 2020. Some program history. This is a revenue contract currently with keith commissary network. We have had it since september 2014. It and prides provides inmates the opportunity to purchase food, personal care items, stationary, on accounts that are funded by friends and family. Currently the financial terms of this contract have keith pay 40 3 of net sales to the Inmate Welfare Fund. The r. F. P. We do have an r. F. P. Out now for a new contract that was initially posted in january of this year. It has similar financial terms, however, working with the treasurers financial Justice Project as well as the mayor mayors Budget Office, we were able to council that r. F. P. With those financial terms. We have introduced a new r. F. P. For which we actually already have bids, it eliminates payments to the Inmate Welfare Fund. It reduces commissary accounts deposit fees and this ultimately reduces inmate cost for commissary. While we are here asking for a sixmonth extension, it is my hope that we will be implementing the new contract well prior to the line that is in the legislature. So the Inmate Welfare Fund is established by the california penal code, which allows the sheriff to establish a fund for the county to be used for the benefit of education and welfare of inmates confined within jail. Sources currently come from commissary commissions and inmate phone calls primarily. We are moving away from that. As you know on the inmate phone calls, we are reducing the cost of inmate phone calls now by 50 from the end of last fiscal year to the beginning of this fiscal year, and it is our intention to reduce that down to zero before this fiscal year is out. When we go into the new commissary contract, it will also take away the funding for this. Then program the program and supplies are around violence prevention, sobriety, family connections, and lets see, one last slide. The minute the benefits of the new contract ends the commissary commissions. This will in turn result in savings for inmates. And then also there is a reduced cost of adding funds to inmate accounts. Currently, if someone wants to put 20 on an inmates account on the web, it is a 5dollar cost that will come down to a dollar. Although, primarily these days, during the sheriffs term, she was able to reduce the deposit at that cash deposit at the kiosk at the jail his 20, and that is really where primarily people make their deposits now. That is great. It looks as though we are moving in a positive direction to give some relief to the inmates or people who are incarcerated when they are using these services. Is that correct . Yes, maam. This is the bridge of money to finish off the rest of this contract. This is really because we issue the r. F. P. Under similar financial terms, but then turned around, we understood through the budget will be able to fund this to the general fund. We pulled that r. F. P. , and so we have so we have a new r. F. P. Out there and we are just needing some more time to finish that process. Theres a good chance that we could be done within three months to have the new contract. Okay. That is great. There is no b. L. A. Report on this. Lets open this up for Public Comment. Would any members of the public wish to comment on item number 9 seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Colleagues, i would like to make a recommendation to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. And we take that without objection . Thank you very much. Thank you. Madame clerk, please call item number 10. Item ten is resolution approving and authorizing the Real Estate Division two and acquire Real Property located at 1828 edward avenue for a Purchase Price of 67. 3 million subject to future authorization of certificates of participation and placed with the Real Property under the jurisdiction of the Real Estate Division for use of storing evidence and moving property from other locations. Thank you very much. Good morning. I would like to thank them for reviewing this project and we agree with their recommendations before you today, i am seeking a positive recommendation for a resolution authorizing the acquisition of Real Property at 1828 egbert avenue. I will briefly go through the project description, dual points , timeline, cost. We also have a few minor changes to the resolution which i will walk through and then next steps the property to be acquired is located at 1828 egbert avenue. It is a fourstory building with a reinforced concrete frame. It is approximately 127,000 square feet in total. Each floor has a floor plate of approximately 31,700 square feet there is also a 63,000 square foot parking lot adjacent to the end part of the sign. The building meets the highest seismic standards. It has a seismic importance rating of 1. 5, and occupancy category rating of four. It is currently being used for self storage for approximately 900 customers. Looking at the pictures that are on the screen before you, the first picture in the upper left, it is a little dark, but you can see the building which is on the lefthand side. It is an lshaped building. The property to be acquired is in yellow hash marks. The parking lot area is in the upper portion of that picture, and also extends to the right. The property that is in the lower righthand corner is an adjacent parcel and not part of this acquisition. The second picture on your right shows the front of the property to be acquired. As you will see, it is a very robust structure and has no windows. The lower lefthand picture shows the rear of the property. You can see the rear of the building and a portion of the parking lot, and the lower righthand side, you can see the interior of the property and its vacant condition. You will note that the concrete columns are widely spaced and uniform, which allows for a very efficient use of the space. The deal terms, the Purchase Price is 67. 3 million. This was subject to an appraisal under review appraisal. The negotiated price is consistent with the market value as part of the deal term, the seller has requested a leaseback the purpose of the leaseback is to allow the seller time to vacate the current self storage tenant. At this point, i wanted to make clear that the site is being used exclusively for storage of goods and self storage. There are no residents, there are no businesses that would be displaced by this acquisition. The initial leaseback term would be for six months, however, recently the seller requested an option for three additional months should that prove necessary to vacate all of the tenants. This recent request by the seller is agreed upon by real estate and we are asking that this be included as part of the amendment this morning. The rent for the lease will be 1,000 per month. I believe that this is an approximation of the fair market value of this lease in that the only purpose under the lease is to vacate existing tenant. The thousand dollars per month will be taken out of a holdback amount. The holdback amount is 5 million, which will be held in escrow. This will serve as liquidated damages should the seller fail to remove all of the selfserve tenants in the timeframe within either the sixmonth or ninemonth, should an option be exercised. Speaking briefly to the uses, this building will be used as city secure storage. The primary tenant will be the Police Department. The Police Department must vacate their Storage Facility at the hall of justice where evidence is currently located, as well as building 606 at the shipyard, which is where Police Property is currently located. The purchase of egbert provides the city a longterm assurance that evidence is orderly and well maintained and well documented. The egbert site meets the police s needs in terms of space , infrastructure, security, and seismic strength. It also would decrease the loss or misplacement of items and ensures the integrity for trial. It also allows for retesting for those wrongly convicted on appeal. A timeline of relevant date, if approved by this committee today , we will be going before the board of supervisors on july 30th for their approval of the purchase and Sale Agreement. The purchase and Sale Agreement is contingent upon the issuance of c. O. P. , certificates of participation, which will finance the acquisition. We anticipate september 2019 the introduction of c. O. P. In october 2019 and issuance of the approval of c. O. P. You can see here in the timeline , the issuance of december or january. Well start the leaseback process upon vacancy of the tendencies. We would take occupancy, and this timeline, which would conclude in either july through october of 2020, would still allow us to meet our target dates for an ho jay exit. I did speak to a revision of the resolution. The resolution, direct im recommending the resolution be revised in three locations to do two things. One, to add a three month option to the lease term, and second, to incorporate the b. L. A. s recommended amendment. Those changes would occur on page 1212, line 22, page 3, line six, at page 4, lines nine and ten. I do have proposed language for the clerk if you are interested. That concludes my presentation. Commander commander sullivan of the Police Department has a greed with capital planning. Jamie from Public Finance and i are available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you very much. Lets hear from the b. L. A. , please. The board of supervisors is being asked to approve the purchase of 1828 egbert street for a price of 67. 3 million. This Purchase Price was confirmed by an appraisal and an appraisal review. The purchase this is for the Police Evidence and property unit. He described the property itself the purchase would be funded by certificates of participation. The board board would have to approve those. Our understanding is that there would be legislation introduced for approval in september. Table one on page 22 of the report summarizes the acquisition cost and the financing costs for their certificates of participation. The existing leases previously approved by the board of supervisors with the very same use for the Police Evidence unit the Real Estate Department and public works made a determination that this was not actually appropriate at this time for use by the Police Evidence. It is a vacant site. The city is paying rent on it. And another use of the property has not yet been determined. The city is committed to a ten year lease so they cant exit the lease. We recommended that the resolution be amended for a report back from the director of real estate on the status of this property. My understanding is that amendment has been introduced and we recommend approval as amended. Thank you very much. We say, so this is because a 77 brannan street, 777 brandon street that we have a ten year lease on still, and that we thought originally we would have to use this facility to store for this purpose, but these are being paid through the funding through all of this that is through certificates of participation. Is that correct . , as stated in your report. The funding for 1828 egbert is. Not for 777 brannan. So the project is being funded through cops. Correct. Thank you for that clarification. I see that you have an amendment there for us, for the director of real estate to report back in january of 2020 about the use of 777 brannan since we have a ten year lease on that. Got it. Are there any members of the public that they to comment on this item . I see one public speaker. I was just curious, it seems like this will be occurring rent during the six to nine month lease period. Is there an estimate on the amount of money that they will be receiving over the six to nine months, and are you factoring that in the sales price at all . Thank you very much. Public comment is now closed. Actually, i think the public speaker brings up a really good question. So if you wouldnt mind . Chair fewer, Real Estate Division. Actually, they will not be getting revenue during that period in here is why. The seller has 5 million in holdback that is dependent upon them timely vacating the tendency. As soon as we close escrow, the seller will be giving notice to all other tenants to vacate. Under the contract terms, the tenants have seven days to vacate, however, the seller will be giving them 30 days. Once a notice of termination is given, no tenant will be paying any additional rent, however, the carrying cost for the property will continue, so the seller will be losing money until such time as they can fully vacate the property and get their 5 milliondollar holdback out of escrow. Got it. Also, this structure is so unusual looking, and quite frankly. If i may speak to that, you are absolutely right. I came into this structure with some reluctance, it was the only way to do the deal. The property is currently mortgaged. It has a 12 milliondollar mortgage on the property. The terms of that mortgage require a certain level of tenancy in order to maintain debt service. So the only way that the seller could structure this deal was to be able to close on escrow, payoff pay off the loan, and then be able to vacate the tenancy over the six month timeframe. In exchange for agreeing to this very unusual arrangement, we ask for a very high hope back amount that is 5 million. So even if just one tenants left is left at the end of that term, that 5 million belongs to the city. So this building was formerly used as a Storage Facility. Is that correct . So the tenants arent i mean they just have it is not businesses that are being operated, because it looks like they have no windows. That is correct. There are no businesses, there are no residents. The building was originally constructed as a data center, a server farm, if you will. That is why it has such a robust seismic structure and it has very robust switchgear inside. It was converted to self storage after the. Com bust. Okay. Got it. That actually explains that there was an unusual design of the station. Right. Very odd. Okay. We have heard from the b. L. A. , we had Public Comment, the b. L. A. Has recommendations, so lets approve the recommendation of the b. L. A. That the director of real estate returned to us in january of 2020 with a plan to use 777 brannan which is still a ten year lease. We can take that without objection. Thank you very much. I would like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation as amended. Chair fewer, one clarification, are there any additional amendments . I believe he had some additional changes, but i think they are nonsubstantive. Is that correct, City Attorney . Thank you very much. We can accept the amendment and make a motion to accept the abundant amendment as amended by the director of real estate. We can take that without objection. Thank you very much. We will move this to the full board as amended. Thank you very much. Madame clerk, to be have any other business before us today . No further business. Thank you very much. The meeting is adjourned.

Im the executive director of the Richmond Neighborhood Center , and i want to welcome you all today. Thank you for coming. [cheers and applause] we are so excited to be hosting this budget signing today. I want to tell you a little bit about the Richmond Neighborhood Center for those of you who might not know. Then Neighborhood Center offers a number of programs for families, children, seniors, and adults in the richmond. We strive to be a hub of resources, providing services directly and working with our partner nonprofits at this location. Whether through our afterschool program, our food pantries, or our community festivals, like our upcoming autumn the moon, we are a center for Building Community and a sense of belonging for everyone. These are the values that our mayor is committed to and has prioritized in her budget, which she will be signing here today. We are excited to continue partnering and working with the city to create opportunities and strengthen our support for all of our Diverse Communities all over San Francisco. Thank you all for being here today. [applause] thank you, michelle, and thank you for letting us use this amazing facility which serves so many young people and families across the Richmond District. Welcome to the richmond, but i know supervisor fewer is also anxious to welcome you here. This is an Incredible Community and i think that sometimes, when we are doing a lot of work in city hall, we forget about so many neighborhoods because we are right there in the middle and we are downtown, and of course, we are in d5 and other areas, and d6, but we dont make it to the west side of the city sometimes. We dont make it to the southeast sector of the city, so michael as mayor is to make sure that we not only spend more time and provide more resources to various parts of our communities in San Francisco that sometimes have been neglected, that we make that right kinds of investments in those communities , and so thats why were here in the richmond today yes, we work with supervisor fewer as the budget chair. This year was absolutely amazing and yes, she fought for this district, but she also fought to prioritize equity and the things that are important to all san franciscans. It was truly a pleasure to work with her and to get this budget done. [applause] when i think back to why i got involved in politics in the first place, i think back to the first time that i advocated for resources for the Western Addition to the board of supervisors. That advocacy, carol was actually on the board at that time, many, many years ago, and a big supporter of the communities and equity, and really fighting for resources both here and in sacramento. We would show up, we would advocate, we would talk about the importance of our issues, and members of the board would answer the call to make the right investment. Yes, we still have a number of challenges in this city, a number of important investments that we know we need to make, in this board of supervisors spend countless hours listening to the public, listening to me, sometimes, but ultimately, putting together what i believe is a very comprehensive budget that is fair, that is equitable, that makes new investments, and that is really focused on accountability, as well. And it was under the leadership of president of the board who had the vision to appoint sandy fewer as the budget chair because he knew that she would not take any mess from her colleagues and they all put forth their ideas, but ultimately, she wanted to make sure that this was a consensus budget, and everyone had something to be proud of. Thank you to both supervisor fewer and president yee for your leadership. Thank you to Rafael Mandel and who is here today. Incredible advocates and supporters for the communities and incredible advocates and supporters for residents of the city. I also would like to thank our budget team and Kelly Kirkpatrick who is the director of the budget. [applause] kelly, stand up, we cant see you. [cheers and applause]. Her countless hours and worker work to get this budget done. Harvey rose and his team from the budget and legislative analyst. Usually the mayor doesnt think them, but as someone who served on the board of supervisors and has a lot of love for the work that they do to really analyse the budget within a short time period, i just want to thank them for their hard work to get this job done was pause [applause]. Thank you to brendan rosenfield for crunching the numbers, him and his team. All the Department Heads, the ones that were grilled hardcore and were able to fight for their resources and get what we needed for the public. I mean, the budget was a battle, but it was a good battle. It was one of the best budget processes ive seen in a really long time, and im not just saying that because this is my first budget as mayor, i am saying it because everyone had an opportunity to make a request and have their voices heard. And so im just proud of how comprehensive this budget is. Yes, it is the highest budget in our citys history, 12. 3 billion, and i dont want people to think we have control over the spending of all these dollars, because we do have enterprise departments like the airport, the port of San Francisco, the Public Utilities commission, but ultimately, we made some new investments because not only did i spend time having a number of budget town Hall Meetings all over San Francisco, i know the supervisors spent time with their various constituents, and we took that feedback to incorporate it into our budget, and i just wanted to highlight a few of the things that i know are some of the most pressing issues that we face in San Francisco. Since ive taken office, about a year ago, we have been able to make over a billion dollars of investments in Affordable Housing throughout the city and county of San Francisco. [applause] we have been able to do that because our unexpected windfall of the funding, because of our investments in our current budget, and because you all are going to pass the 600 billiondollar Affordable Housing bond this fall without raising property taxes. [applause] part of that budget includes not only building new Affordable Housing and providing support for low and middle income families, it also provides preservation of existing Affordable Housing, and so i know that preservation around a small sight acquisition was really important to supervisor fewer because of so many seniors in the Richmond District living in some of these buildings that are up for sale and have the ability to purchase those buildings and protect them for those low income seniors and it is so critical to the longterm stability of Affordable Housing in San Francisco. I am excited about funding for rent subsidies and trying to keep people housed, our rights to civil council, and making sure that people who are facing eviction are not doing it alone. So many amazing investments in housing, and now weve just got to get rid of some of the bureaucracy that gets in the way of housing. Homelessness, which we know as a number 1 issue that we face in tenth in San Francisco. We have Additional Support for more navigation centers, for more shelter beds, because we know we need them and we need them yesterday. Providing 100 Affordable Housing with Wraparound Services for formerly Homeless Individuals is something that is critical to addressing the number 1 crisis in our city, and we made those investments. 53 million to expand our Behavioral Health program and other Health Services in San Francisco. [applause] thank you supervisor mandelman for your support and leadership around Mental Health reform in our city. We have already opened 100 new Mental Health stabilization beds on top of what we already have, and with this additional funding , we will be able to open another 100 new beds by the end of this year. We also have a need for people to use the bathroom, so we are adding more pitstops, we are adding more big belly trash cans , we are adding more targeted street cleaning, and we are using our 311 data to really make those investments strategically in the right places. Were deploying another 250 officers, hopefully, as we get them across the finish line of the academy, so that they can walk the beat in various neighborhoods, talk to merchants , get to know the communities, and help with preventing crime from happening in the first place. We know that our commercial corridor and so many neighborhoods need so much help and support, so we have made investments to support for sought improvement, tenant improvements, pay various fines and fees, and other things that we know Small Business communities face, including seven businesses right here in the Richmond District you will benefit from some of the new Small Business investment our city proposes to make. It is the beginning. Theres more that we need to do to protect and support are Small Businesses, and i have been fighting with my director of Small Business because i want us to cut even more fees for Small Businesses in San Francisco so that its not a burden to them staying open in the city. [applause] through hard work, the minimum compensation ordinance was done. It was brutal, but we got through it, and so many very low income wage earners in San Francisco are going to get a welldeserved raise and have already, in some cases. We have expanded our Cal Fresh Program and our county assistance program, and we know that equity was at the forefront of this budget. And thanks to the leadership of supervisor vallie brown and supervisor fewer, they helped create an office of equity where we are making investments to really try and shine a light on what we know are real challenges around access, education, affordability, and the things that continue to show really Racial Disparity that needs to that we need to take a look at, provide the data, and really make the right investments to turn it around. Opportunities for all, as you will know, is a program that is near and dear to my heart. Making sure that every High School Student in San Francisco has access to a paid internship, and i want to thank all of the city departments for stepping up and providing internships, and now it is time to halt holds the private sector accountable, to not only contribute, because a deafening contributed to opportunities for all, but they need to have more placement for our young people, and that is what im committed to moving forward. Thank you to supervisor mar who is not here with us today. We worked together to fully fund Free City College for San Francisco. [applause] so i just want to say, to all of our senior folks who are here today, you dont have to be a young person to go to city college, you dont have to be a kid living at home with your parents to go to city college. City college is for all san franciscans. So lets take advantage of the amazing classes that they have. In one of the things i want to mention before i turn this over to supervisor fewer, as i know that, as mayor, i dont necessarily have complete control over our board of education, but i went to Public Schools here, and we know that supervisor yee and supervisor fewer also went to Public Schools here in San Francisco, and the challenges that sometimes exist as certain schools versus other schools is something we need to address when we talk about equity. So for the first time ever, this city is making significant investment in addressing what we know are the Biggest Challenges at those schools. And includes Teacher Retention at certain schools in the southeast sector and other parts of the city, we are making a 10 milliondollar investment to provide additional bonuses to teachers in those particular schools to make sure that we try and hold onto them to work with so many kids that have, what we know sometimes are real challenges, but we are also making investments and Wellness Centers in our Public Schools. To make sure that kids have the support that they need when going through what we know can be a very challenging time in their lives. So many great things. Again, 12. 3 million. I could be here all day talking about all of the things that we are doing to make the right kinds of investments, but i just wanted to highlight those few to let you know that in addition to these investments, as i have said from the very beginning, it is important that we understand the value of a dollar. The value of how this city makes investments, and what it means to peoples lives. It can be the difference between a young person ending up dead or in prison or in some terrible situation, and someone ending up mayor of San Francisco. And thats how i see our investments, as an opportunity to make sure that good things happen for people here in San Francisco, and we create a Better Future with these incredible investments. So make sure, all the departments, you spend this money wisely. You dont take pen and paper home that you dont need. [laughter] and you do your very best to show folks in this city that we are the greatest city in the world because we put our money where our mouth is, and because of that, we are able to create a more thriving, equitable, safe, and secure city for all san franciscans. Thank you all so much for being here. [cheers and applause] with that, i would like to turn it over to our budget chair, supervisor sandy fewer. [applause] thank you, madame mayor.

[applause] this budget prioritizes the issues of Affordable Housing development, the expansion of beds for homeless residents, and rental subsidies for some of our most vulnerable tenants. It focuses on services and support marginalized communities , including children, seniors, and people with disabilities, immigrants, communities of color, lgbtq communities, low income workers. With an ever growing wealth gap, and inequitable opportunities by race, language, gender, sexuality and more, it is critical we invest in assurance that every san franciscan can thrive. I think this is a budget that reflects those values. This is a budget that says, to those of you who are struggling to stay here, for those of you who are struggling to provide here, we see you. Thank you again to mayor breed, and to president norman you for entrusting me with this responsibility. And now that it is all over, i am not sure, actually, that my colleagues or my staff would agree, but i think im willing to do this for another five years. [laughter]. [applause] i want to thank all of my colleagues at the board, especially board, especially our Budget Committee members for your confidence and collaboration. Thank you to the people of San Francisco who entrust us with the money earned off the hardbacks of hardworking san franciscans. And now lets lets get this thing signed. I like to present the president of the board, norman e. Norman g. President norman yee. [applause] [laughter] im sorry, i cant hide the fact that im freezing. [laughter] welcome, everybody. This district is the most important district in the northwest sector of San Francisco. [laughter] i really want to think them air, your staff, and i know i will be repeating what has been said, but it is worth repeating when people work so hard to put the most important document together for san franciscans. So once again, mayor, your director over there, kelly, thank you very much. Thank you very much to Ben Rosenfield and your team. And the budget legislative analyst. Thank you for putting this budget together. But more importantly, when i became president in january, one of the first things i said was that im going to make this board of supervisors, this set of 11 people, the best that we can ever have in San Francisco. To serve our community, to serve our residents, to serve the most vulnerable, and the most Important Committee to help serve these people is the Budget Committee. And i knew i had to make the strongest Budget Committee that i could think of, so as mentioned, it was really an honor for me to ask supervisor fewer to be chair of the Budget Committee, and i was so happy. She just kept on saying, oh, no, no, i dont know, i dont know. For christ sake, sandy you were chair in the Budget Committee on the board of education, yes, you know how to do a budget. You are as good as anybody on the board of supervisors. So thank you for accepting it. You did a marvellous job. Give her a hand. [applause] but like all of us, one person cant do it all. She needed a team. She needed four other supervisors to help her. That includes supervisor mandelman right here, thank you. [applause] and supervisor ronen and supervisor stefani who were also part of that team. And to really make it special, to make it the best team, i put myself on it. [laughter] in all seriousness, im really glad that this budget was put together the way it was, and it was as transparent as ive seen it over the last 70 seven years. People were engaged, people had a voice. Everybody felt like they had a voice, and that was because of the openness of everybody, not only the Budget Committee, but also the mayors office. Advocates came, we went out into the community, and we put a budget together that has, to me, one of the best budgets ive seen because we are beginning to look at the issues and see what we need to do to solve it. We needed to do things. We needed to be creative and putting the money where it could be effective, and i think people really looked at it carefully with that lens. You know, how do we get equity on this . How do we serve the people . How do we make sure people can be successful whether they are regular people working, whether they are people on the streets that cant work right now, whether its the children that we are talking about that could be great adults, and also, our seniors. I cant say enough that we are the Fastest Growing population in San Francisco is seniors. We need to make investments because, as many of you know, right now over 50 of the people entering homelessness for the first time our seniors. We need to make investments. I think this budget reflects that need. Thank you very much for that. The other thing that i want to say that hasnt been mentioned in this budget is, you know, when families are struggling already, you can barely pay the rent, and all of a sudden they are strapped with childcare, maybe for one child, 25,000 a year, or two children, of the 50,000 a year. A teacher couldnt afford that. Nobody could afford that. So once again, this budget reflects that need. We are really trying to support the low to middle income families so they can raise her children in San Francisco. This is what this budget does. On top of all that, we didnt forget about our infrastructure. We did not forget about our parks, our fire department, our Police Department, and our department of public works to have more staff to clean up the streets and so forth, so this is what this budget does. It supports the infrastructure, and it also is created to find solutions where we need to find solutions. Lets get it on and signed this budget. Thank you very much [applause] all right, folks. It is time. Lets do this. Supervisors, please join me. [indiscernible] [laughter] thank you. All right, were done. [cheers and applause] the goal is simple. Its to raise womens voices. Learn a little bit about what you should be thinking about in the future. We had own over 300 over 300 people who signed up for the oneonone counseling today. I think in the world of leading, people sometimes discount the ability to lead quietly and effectively. The Assessors Office is a big one. There are 58 counties in the state of california and every single county has one elected assessor in the county. Our job is to look at property taxes and make sure that we are fairly taxing every single property in San Francisco. One of the big things that we do is as a result of our work, we bring in a lot of revenue, about 2. 6 billion worth of revenue to the city. Often, people will say, what do you do with that money, and i like to share what we do with property taxes. For every dollar we collect in property taxes, about 68 cents of it goes to support public sstss, our police officers, our fire departments, our streets, our cleaning that happens in the city. But i think what most people dont know is 34 cents of the dollar goes to public education. So it goes to the state of california and in turn gets allocated back to our local school districts. So this is an incredibly important part of what we do in this office. Its an interesting place to be, i have to say. My colleagues across the state have been
