Incident is excellent. [inaudible] it was a horrible horrible tragied but if you want maintained parks and you want safe parks you actually need a Parks Department that has a Rolling Stock thank you for answering. It sounds like we need every vehicle and more vehicle shortagewhat we have been doing and taking seriously andee want the lowest impact vehicles we can have in the landscape and so we are working with the fleet city administrator, our own Fleet Administrator to downicize as many vehicles we can. We have heavy equipment. We dont need 350 in the parks, we would rather have turoes or carts or 150. We are trying to make the vehicle foot print as light and as green as payable. Our goal is actually have as green a fleet we can and have been talking about thew do that. It is a light fleet, but i cannot tell you we do not need vehicles. We very much need vehicles just to touch on the point you made of volunteer support for the parks from friends of woodland across the street from with whereyalive to friends of lincoln parks i can see how valuable neighborhood based xhounty based friends and volunteererize to the district. I want to thank you for the great presentation too kwrrkss i think that is all the roster now. I know you is a few pages left. If you want to go through a few more slides i would ask i just want to say we have been coming off rough budgets and we are actually very optimistic about the budget. We do have priporties to make investment and that is in park safety and environmental sustainability, active living and getting peep outside and Customer Service and that is how we make decisions about where we make our investments and we are very precative of the mayor and kate for working with us and we have a long way to go and structural challenge tooz take on, but the budget that we submitted to the Mayors Office does touch on a number of the buckets where we make incremental prau progress in that regard thank you very much. Thank you mr. Gins burg for your presentation. We have 2 other departments. [inaudible] department of dhern and youth and family.

I alsoment to say the general manager underscored a lot of the challenges. At the Parks Alliance we do a lot of work with them on this and analyzing where the Department Budget needs to go. I think they are very serious needs in park patrol and serious needs in urban forestry and caring for the trees, addressing the defered maintenance budget which is growing and the needs are growing. The city is growing and we need to take care and preserve the investmented. They generate economic activtopy in the sitsy and it is to all our benefit to take caif e care of them and fund them so thank you thanks very much [inaudible] San FranciscoYouth Commission. [inaudible] thank you so much for your presentation. Im glad you mentioned the equity is a fundal concept and [inaudible] on march second the [inaudible] passed a ruzlution it urge the supervisors to conduct recreation and open space analysis [inaudible] further along this concept and hopefully look at safety of parks, ability for youth in neighborhoods to access parks and field in other part of the sit ee [inaudible] number of youth in need of after School Activities rkts dustbution of open space, recreation facilities by type, [inaudible] by neighborhood, neighborhood density and neighborhoods with high consstration of youth. People och color, low income families [inaudible] these are all from the Youth Commission and thanks thanks very much. Mrs. Sue, please come up. Thanks for waiting. Try to do this. Good afternoon chair farrell and members of the committee, my name is mariea sue and director for department of youth and fam laeds mptd it is my plether to share a brief snap shot of some of the Budget Priorities and also to perhaps brag a little about some of the wonderful thing happening in the department and in the future for our department. I want to start by saying thank you to the committee foring the service focused conversations and the first is on children and families. It leads into my first item on my slide which is the reauthorization and passage of prop c. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the voteders in the San Francisco for prop c. [inaudible] the passage of prop c at a rate of 73 percent clearly shows how much we in the city care for our children and families and how we want to continue to insure funding for these services. I also want the thank there the Non Profit Agency and children advocates who worked for all most tw years to make sure all the voters in the city understood what the proposition meant and how it impacts them sevlgs and the livelihoods of all in San Francisco. Finally i want to thank supervisor yee but there l the mb thofz board of supervisor jz board of education and other elected officials for all your support and endorsement for proposition c. The reauthdization of the land mark ledgeilation allows our department to continue to provide finding for children and Youth Service for another 25 years, but it allowstuse fund young people tupe the anal of 24. Our transition aged youth which is a key key policy decision that we greatly appreciate that the voters aproveed. These are young people who are disconducted from education and Employment Opportunities and unforch natly connect would inn the crimial Justice System and [inaudible] and are mostly homeless young people thmpt legislation also extends the grant cycle which helps stabilize the Non Profit Agency as well as create a new 11 member over Site Committee for the department. The passage of prop c was very timely and actually is quite crucial to support all the working families in the city. These are data that we found from a report that the Human ServicesAgency Issued that year and they estimated 3 saith percent of house hold of children in San Francisco are living below the self sufficiency standard. The one thing that is more alorm is more than 27 percent of house holds with children live below the self sufficiency standard but living above the Poverty Level so you see that squeeze. All these families living between the Poverty Level and self sufficiency stads standsered cant access critical aids which is why having the cherj and youth fund is important because it allows families to high quality and Affordable Care that allows them to work and allow them to be able to support their children. In 2009 the Insight Center estimated 18. 8 percent of all San Francisco house holds with and without children earned too little to meet minimum needs without public or private assistance and today that number has increased to 27 percent. The census shows that poverty in house hold income shows a wide disparity by raise and ethnicity. Data shows 28. 6 percent20. 6 percentmaybe i shouldnt quote that. The census is showing that there is a high disparity from families within the city that have incomesi cant read that. You can keep going you understand. I think this is why it is very important for us and thank you once again to supervisor yee and board of supervisors for requiring the city to have a equity materic and that was written in prop c and well develop a equity matrix so we can understand what it means and the impact for the xhern and families when we have high disparities apround income and housing. Once again, the startling Economic Data i presented speaks to the fact that dcys and the children and youth fund is crucial if working families. Last fiscal year, dcys worked the the partner tooz provide service for after School Programs for children in kinder gaerten8 grade [inaudible] in total we served all moestz 56 thousand concern and young people last year. According to the 2013 American Community survey there are 112 thousand children nob nub within the city and we serve 56 thousand of them. We intentionally Fund Programs in high need neighborhood serving high need children and familys trotie to close thoot opportunity and equity gap. This chart shows a Race Ethnicity comparison between the total use that the programs served in the last fiscal year compared to the total youth that are in our sfus k12 system. [inaudible] higher proportion of African American youth compared to other young people within the total population. Dcys values partnerships and as uheard earlier fill [inaudible] talked about the partnership with the reck and Park Department which i greatly appreciate. We also partner with the office of early care and education the Human Services agency, department of public health, [inaudible] we know to make a change around the gig social issues we need to Work Together and come together so the impact of our funding and impact of the services are great. Of note thrks vast majority of all of the partnerships and these partnerships are realized through work order relationships so we send money to other city departments and that is because other city departments have expertise and knowledge around these areas. Key Budget Priorities. This year we want to solidify key work that was previously funded last year with one time funds. Several weeks ago the mayor and superintendent made a announce. Oincrease in summer programming and that translates to another thousand slots for union people and work with the School District to insure we meet the needs. Work force development is the same. The mayor is prioritizing summer jobs between the age of 1424 and we are asking young people to apply so we can place them in private sector job as well as city jobs and it is to alloy them to have a opportunity to be expoezed to work whilewhether their are in high school or education settings. We continue to Fund ViolencePrevention Services and continue to support the immigration program. Last year because president obama declared a Deferment Program for undocumented concern and families we stepped tupe the plate and worked with our Legal Services, non profits Legal Service agency in the city to provide funding for them to work with families to apply for that Deferment Program. Other areas that we are prioritizing is our own departmental cost. Not sproizing but dcys this year will experience a significant rent increase, so our rent will increase, our it will increase so there are the regular costs of business increases and we are also bringing on additional consultant to hup with equiety anal and community programming. We increase funding for grants it the community and well work with xhounty stock holders to develop a plan to allocate the grant dollars knhing into the budget focuss on the growth for fissile year 1617 and 17, 18. Well extend most thof grants for the next 2 years. It will allowtuse stabilize the cpos and it gives time to plan. It will also give time to seat the new over site and advisry committee so we can work with them on commutety engagement. I want to shairb with you some thof compiteing needs that we are faced with. We are working with our key stack holders to develop a plan. Just wanted to highlight there are looming issues we heard such as the cost of doing business, minimum wage impact, the need for after School Programming and Summer Service and early care and Education Service and transitional [inaudible] services. Planning for the future. We are going to start and we will be enter into the 5 year plan cycle. Well start with the Community Needs assessment in fiscal year 16 and 17 which is data driven and include a equity analysisism in fiscal year 17, squaen well crete the Service Allocation plan which is the plan that will become the funding road map and well aquilize that plan. Well carefully consider the dem ographic changes and attention to population change and partner and talk to all of our partners in terms owhat they see and the needs they have. Which that my presentation concludes. Thank you for your presentation and all your hard work and look forward to talking more during budget season and being a part of the planning process as well. Sfr visor yee thank you. When i look atthank you for your presentation. I look at slide 3 of the presentation where it has a graph there. I notice td the right hand side the percentage of youth served by age, that you have all the ages accept for 05 and i also realize the partners you work with, there is probably [inaudible] is there a reason why you dont count them in this or are these gist grants you directly administer these are grants we directly administer. We partner with the office of nob naur and education and they are the holder for thitsies data for birth to 5 for thosei see there are 2 chunks, one with [inaudible] Early Childhood education, generally [inaudible] 9. 3 million and [inaudible] the 9. 3 Million Dollars is primarily for the wages which is our wage augmentation program. Wage subsidy. Ill refer to my office of early care and education effort. The first 5 work ordser primarily for the Family Resource center. [inaudible] fund 25 Family Resource centers throughout the city in your competingone of the last slides in the competing requests one of them being the wages or minimum wage piece, is that for the Early Education field, the minimum wageare you taking care of that or is the office of [inaudible] taking care of it . Office of early cairb and education i cant speak for them. Our minimum wage Impact Analysis is folkeded primary on youth wagesism making sure we maintain the level of youth in the Youth Employment program okay. So it is less about salaries of the non profits right, it is not around salary for non profit, it is aroned wages for young peeal in the Youth Employment program thank you sproovaseer mar thank you mrs. Sue. I approximate tr report. Inel rr looking at the Controllers Office and it seems like w the aadditional funding and the equitable proach im proud of the work that is done. Way back to [inaudible] that is celebrating early years, the revolutionary set aside the Childrens Fund and tom [inaudible] efforts with the grass Roots Coalition we have Public Education and richmond fund. I want to ask specifics, the transitional age youth additional programming, you mentioned that it is being expangded, but what is the percentage of expansion of the age group . It is 1824 and right now what we plan on doing we will do is talk to the [inaudible] nat provide services the population and work with them to renegotiate their grant so we can alow them to to bill up to age 24 and work with them on how mouch it cost. We are in the process of working with them on that on the economics of children and families that fall bulowall is the poverty line that is 1820 thousand a years. It is really low and you use the term self sufficientancy stapdered soiowen went on line and [inaudible] see there is a wide raimpg where you infants versus teenagers like i do and seems the self sufficientancy standard can very from 50100 thousand dependent on the age of 2 kids for a family of 4. What is the age that you use with you say that 27 percent are notfall in the middle range where they are not below poverty but still dont meet self sufficientancy Standards School age. This is based on a family with School Age Children. If you rafamily with pree School Age Children that cost infant is about 100 thousand a year and preschoolers is like 90 thousand a year so parent with younger kids are squeezed more yes. One reason why ewhee chose to make sure we highlight this is to call out the squeeze that our middle income families experience in the city because of the cost of livering is very high we want to make sure that we number 1 understand the data and figure out new ways and policies and practs to insure we support our working families and that using fram poverty numbers isnt enough. We need to understand the context that these families live in i im glatd mu chel [inaudible] i guess we need to look for more funding and early care given the high cost for babies and infant and toddlers. As we look for a elder index as the baby boomers become senior boomers this same type of economics is helpful to look beyond the low Poverty Level for seniors for more of a elder index like insight does. As we try to find set asides or steady funding stream frz the aging population is helpful burkts it is good to learn from the early care in childhood and history of culmins effort in the sit a. Thank you for preventing a very equitable and strategic proach to meeting the needs of children and families in the city. Thank you very much. Appreciate your presentation for being here and look forward to continuing discondition. Last up and not least Michele Rutherford is here from the office of Early Childhood and education.

We are excited about the office and what San Francisco can do in the field of early care and education. Really our main focus is on accessible, affordable and quality fraall San Francisco families, but certainly with attention to those children who need it most. Like in marieas presentation on dcys, the [inaudible] included in prop c and part of the that reauthorization include assigning fundsing to the office since the beginning in [inaudible] inoffice is responsible for managing the p fund for early edand that sntd t isnt what we want to do over night.
