Bringing to you. We would like to ask private employers to match to help supplement. You are taking this from street resurfacing funds . Does that decrease ability for street resurfacing . No, we are adding 4 million. It goes from 4 to 6 million total we would give to public works to do resurfacing. Where is the money coming from. We had 6 million of public money. Then they would give the 4 million to us four managed us. That leafs them up 2 million. So they are taking it away from Something Else . They are to receive 4 million of prop k for resurfacing. This keeps that hole and 6 million adds two more. It is a funds swap. They would release the 4 million to allow it for managed lanes. It is not officially eligible in the prop k program otherwise. Maybe it should stay that way. Since you are swapping money. Leave it and not use the money in that manner. Commissioner yee. It is a moment where i really do appreciate where this is going in terms every surfacing. I notice quite a few stree
Chilly temperatures and cloudy skies across much of our region today. No rain. Well take it. Nbc 10 stopped by Fairhill Square park where families dressed for the weather. Youre going to want that jacket with you tonight. Maybe even a hat. Steve sosna is tracking it all. If you didnt break out the sweater or sweatshirt by now, i challenge you tonight and tomorrow morning. Gusty winds whipping the trees around. Looks like a late fall sky there. The that blustery breeze you see right now will start to relax during the overnight hours. What that allows the temperatures to do is drop. Well see that here during the overnight. 30s and 40s as those winds slowly ease. Now, we are entering a very sunny pattern. If you like sunshine and a lot of it, this tenday forecast is for you. We barely have a drop of rain in that. Along with that sunshine will come a warming trend. If these Cool Temperatures arent for you, wait until the middle of next week. Temperatures approaching 80 degrees. Like i said
Glad youre here and appearing before this committee today to discuss your departments fiscal 2018 budget request. As you know, the budget is significantly challenged in terms of the cuts in your department. I think the proposed cuts of 2. 3 billion are about onefifth of the departments operating level. Certainly while i appreciate and many of us appreciate the departments prioritizing limited resources and making decisions to realign programs, the fundamental question is really what you choose to cut and whether you can possibly look at that number and make an argument as to why that much of your previous budget should be cut this year. Its not the first time these kinds of cuts have come in the department. Last year president obama proposed about the same level of cuts, though he proposed somehow these programs would lean heavily on new mandatory spending for the budget caps in the law then. Of course, those budget caps are in the law still. Instead of making difficult decisions, it w
