Our franciscos fiveyear financial plan; and requesting the controller and the mayors budget director to report. Madam chair. And today, we have um, both Controllers Office carol here and i know that um, and anna in the Mayors Office is here to answer questions and the floor is yours. Great. Thank you budget chair chang were going to present together this is an update to the report we published the first duration was in december this is update to the projections we really had in december you remember that report shows the next 5 years an unprecedented deficit the first two years 800 million that is the budget we need to balance by june 1st were going to talk about a few updates and so the report is and the update again those numbers represent willie brown what we are status quo if we didnt make any policy choices, this is the budget gap well be looking at. So um, this shows a summary of change in some of of the biggest categories of revenue and expenditures from that um, december report. The bottom line changed is minimal talking about billions of dollars of general fund and altogether 9 for 10 million from prior projections. For why was there a change of the past modified revenues from the Controllers Office and there are some higher costs in the expenditures. And with that, im going to turn it over to carl to talk about the revenue functions. Property taxes this is throughout the for another period due to updates around instructions that results in the board of appeals rescues that is decreased the amount of Assets Available and business tax we look at cash um, coming in and cash was higher in the current year that was and so typically increase um, the forecast in all the out years. Um, that was largely for refunds and litigations. So no change. Um, transfer tax we forecasted about the same level as the prior report. Um, the update didnt have any exemptions for the march 24th proposition c that was passed by the voters and that is due to the time would take to convert and dont think that will rap has in that the planned period and the executive tax similar to the cash came in higher than we exposed partially by to additional claims and litigations. Moving forward fema revenue we have an additional 21. 8 million for the winter storm. Disasters and winter of 2023 at covid reimbursements were remaining the same and Public Health the department of Public Health forecasts additional improvements um, in operating revenue as well as one time improvements from prior year settles and the additionally the report assumed the fund balance reported at the six months report the additional 34. 4 million. Okay. Then on expenditure the benefits cost is based health and retirement no changes for the employee wage rate but the information from the retirement system those costs are a little bit higher than than previously assumes every march we see how the caseloads are trending any information from the state the cost went up a bit i ask and up as well as other entitlements programs and costs for the operating subsidy programs or resulted in more costs on the expenditure side and im going to turn it over to from carol. So the report um, said in changes in the reserve deposits were adjusted and thats not shown here otherwise this table is similar to every other table in our report. Then, of course, as the projection uncertainties. So the forecast is in negotiations ongoing right now. The forecast assumes cpi of 2. 65 percent it is um, the the mous have different worsens the deficit and the second unservants is local employment numbers in marches edd restated the historic numbers due to the changes around and before though we know technically off looks like employment employees were finding employment back for the tech segment they were get reemployment but with the restatement of numbers showing overall lose in employment. The third retirement in contribution rate currently our were assuming 7. 2 percent but investments come in for below then retirement contributions will increase that for state budget were not assuming any changes. Um, however, proposals at the state lovely would probably result in um, almost 40 a little bit more 40 million reductions to that is out there. And there also potential fema reimbursements and then, of course, any policy decisions that have a fiscal impact could be introduced to the deficit. So just to wrap up um, though the bottom line is the official report results in a slight improvement for the two year deficit we assumed or draungs to the slide the Financial Risks with very large and all things actively decided in the next two weeks we are still in labor negotiations that agreement has not been ratified and not in a position to talk about that today. But like carol said any wage agreements above other than 2. 5 percent and other risks that we are tracking with that, were available to answer questions. Sorry i thought was it 2 point for the labor negotiations i thought i 450erd maybe i heard it wrong youre saying . 2. 5 with the increase for cpi or projections of labor negotiations . Yeah. So um, every year we have contractors we need to build in some assumption not assuming and flat for across many years we assume the wage rates will increase by cpi and that was around 2. 56 in many range anything over the next two to three years. And 2. 5 and three percent any agreement above that any wage 0 above that is an additional costs. Then for your retirement contributions you mentioned right now youre projecting at 7. 2 percent are we showing anything different from the retirement board could be what is is projected change . Yeah. We get monthly updates about year to date returns and trending above 7. 2 percent but fluctuate quite a bit from month to month and do the right thing until we get to the end of the year what the final results will be. I know you said. Based on market performances. And the portfolio but the low and high. At the beginning of the year were trind negative below zero percent i dont know were near the 7 percent. I i dont recall im happy to share it with you um, the retirement is published monthly and valuable on the website as well. Then um, like carol was trying to say if you find that tell me. We publish that returns through february 24th were 5. 7 percent and fluctuate month to month. I this were talking about potential e rap performed less than by 40 million. Thats the assumption . Weve not build that in this forecast. In the governors proposed budget will take legislative action our result is a loss of 40 million and were doing doing everything we can at it the state level to protect that. Yeah this coming fiscal year and yeah, and then if i think so the other question talking about and last year was at 18 million. What is our the number lastly number were hearing 40 i think you mentioned one point like meaning additional two multiple voices . Yeah go i dont have the law numbers esprit park my fingertips last year the rates we negotiated were the highest were seen in many, many years um, we got those projections the negotiations and theyre wrapping up with the Healthcare Providers they provided the negotiations how theyre going and the Health Segment at large and will be finalized brought to this board if i building in june. Um, but have to build this go rbo our budget. How much will you build in . I have it in the report yeah. I dont have the dollars amount but mr. Chair, i, put that in context we have three to four percent a year. At the end last year was 18 million this is rather high like when they came in above im sorry 18 million above our projections. Yeah. So that sounds right. And they did hey this could be coming in at best another increase of 18 to 20 million. Um, so okay. Um, i think i have a little bit of the math. Going here for us. I dont have any other questions at the moment. Um, the governors budget will be announced revised budget may 11th. Okay. I dont see any names on the roster i think after all it were were not just drilling down the numbers we appreciate your work no surprise but to be honestly honest the risk including labor negotiations and all that we fema reimbursements having the conversation in december and we knew those with factors. Um, i think the last one i have is really the downward revision like the local employment numbers um, that we know that um, again, our gross receipts with payroll taxes is part of this calculation and this result when it comes to layoff results in permanent loss, you know, not a shortterm loss but someone is working remote um, we projected i think 2 to three years ago we are surprised were gains in the industries i should say but thinking this is very likely this is a loss but i want to confirm i think that is what the Controllers Office is saying as we saw some gains early during the pandemic now we see layoff notices even an immediate rehire it is result of is also of employment. Right thats; correct we had thought that that was an immediate rehire and not in the box but the restatement we realized was a loss multiple voices . What is the percent . Oh, i have to get back to on that i dont have that off the top of my head. I have a couple of questions about the revenue the first is you talked about the fema reimbursements we assumed as is same level as december um, has theyve been any traction in our collaboration with other um, municipalities in the state and yeah. Yeah. I think were working with other municipalities and um, trying to do what we can um, to make sure we are able to be reinforced and forecasting 23 million and have 80 million in and the work is being done. My other question about the property taxes investments and how the staff is doing with wealthy weighing through the appeals do we have a sense of timing a backlog as they come in or any of that projects . Projections and i dont have any but in terms of the level of appeals sort of highs. Yeah. Yes quite a backlog the board has to go through in 2021 and 2022 all the prior year appeals it worries me. unintelligible . Capture. Ill say that member mandelman a great question and talking about with the board of appeals about, you know, what projections are we making are tree appropriately staffed how do we manage this . It is key to the citys revenues it is what were looking at and. Okay. That worries my question thank you, mr. Chair and lets go to Public Comment on this item. Thank you, madam chair. Members of the public who wish to speak line up to speak along the windows and come forward to the lectern madam chair no speakers. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. gavel and colleagues, i would like to make a motion to file the hearing as heard and lets invite member walton for roll call. On this be heard and filed protect and seconded by member walton member mandelman, aye. Member walton, aye. Member peskin absent. Member chan. 4 is and the motion carries. And do we have any other business for today mr. Clerk. Madam chair that concludes our business. The meeting is adjourned. In august 2019 construction began on the new facility at 1995 evans avenue in bayview. It will house Motorcycle Police and department of Forensic Services division. Both sfpd groups are in two buildings that need to be vacated. They will join the new 183 million facility in late 2021. Elements of the cfi and the Traffic Company are housed at the hall of justice, which has been determined to be seismically unfit. It is slated for demolition. In addition to that the Forensic Services crime lab is also slated for demolition. It was time and made sense to put these elements currently spread in different parts of the city together into a new facility. The project is located in the bayview area, in the area near estes creek. When San Francisco was first formed and the streetcars were built back it was part of the bay. We had to move the building as close to the edge as possible on bedrock and solid elements piles down to make sure it was secure. It will be approximately 100,000 square feet, that includes 8,000 square feet for Traffic Company parking garage. The reason we needed too new building, this is inadequate for the current staffing needs and also our motor department. The officers need more room, secured parking. So the csi unit location is at the hall of justice, and the Crime Laboratory is located at building 60 sixty old Hunters Point shipyard. Not colocated doesnt allow for easy exchange of information to occur. Traffic division was started in 1909. They were motor officers. They used sidecars. Officers who road by themselves without the sidecar were called solo. That is a common term for the motorcycle officers. We have 45 officers assigned to the motorcycles. All parking at the new facility will be in one location. The current locker room with shared with other officers. It is not assigned to just traffic companies. There are two showers downstairs and up. Both are gym and shop weres are old. It needs constant maintenance. Forensic services provides five major types of testing. We develop fingerprints on substances and comparisons. There are firearms identification to deal with projectiles, bullets or cartridge casings from shootings. Dna is looking at a whole an rare of evidence from array of evidence from dna to Sexual Assault to homicide. We are also in the business of doing breath allyzer analysis for dui cases. We are resurrecting the gunshot Residue Testing to look for the presence of gunshot residue. Lifespan is 50 years. It has been raised up high enough that if the bay starts to rise that building will operate. The facility is versus sustainable. If the lead gold highest. The lighting is led. Gives them good lights and reduces energy use way down. Water throughout the project we have low water use facilities. Gardens outside, same thing, low water use for that. Other things we have are green roofs on the project. We have studies to make sure we have maximum daylight to bring it into the building. The new facility will not be open to the public. There will be a lobby. There will be a deconstruction motorcycle and have parts around. The dna labs will have a vestibule before you go to the space you are making sure the air is clean, people are coming in and you are not contaminating anything in the labs. Test firing in the building you are generating lead and chemicals. We want to quickly remove that from the individuals who are working in that environment and ensure what we put in the air is not toxic. There are scrubbers in the air to ensure any air coming out is also at the cleanest standards. You will see that kind of at the site. It has three buildings on the site. One is for the motorcycle parking, Main Building and back behind is a smaller building for evidence vehicles. There is a crime, crime scene. They are put into the secure facility that locks the cars down while they are examined. They could be vehicles involved in the shooting. There might be projectiles lodged in the vehicle, cartridge casings inside the vehicle, it could be a vehicle where a aggravated sexual occurred and there might be biological evidence, fingerprints, recovered merchandise from a potential robbery or other things. The greatest challenge on the project is meeting the scope requirements of the project given the superheated Construction Market we have been facing. I am proud to say we are delivering a project where we are on budget. The front plaza on the corner will be inviting to the public. Something that gives back to the public. The building sits off the edge. It helps it be protected. What we are looking for is an updated building, with facilities to meet our units needs. Working with the San Francisco Police Department is an honor and privilege. I am looking forward to seeing their faces as the Police Officers move to the new facility. It is a welcome change, a new surrounding that is free from all of the challenges that we face with being remote, and then the ability to offer new expanded services to the city and Police Department investigations unit. I cant wait until fall of 2021 when the building is finally ready to go and be occupied and the people can get into the facility to serve them and serve the community. Good evening. This is the Fire Commission regular meeting april 24, 2024 and the time is 505. This meeting is being held in person. Members of the public may attend the meeting to observe and provide Public Comment at the physical meeting location or
