Much. So good morning and welcome to the budget and finance committee, everyone. Todays agenda is focused on bringing back departments that we heard presentations from last week to hear recommendations for reductions from the budget and legislative analyst. Also on todays agenda are particular training items particular with each departments budget. There will be Public Comment on those items at the time they are heard, and there will be Public Comment on budget reductions after each item is heard. Before i get into the items, my office is releasing a proposed spending plan that totals over 30 million over two years which will be on the boards website. As you all know, its being released before each committee knows the budget. We know that the demand for budget allocations the board received far exceeds far exceeds the available funding. Our office has received budget requests totaling more than 500 million and as i noted, this initial spending plan totals 30 million. While we have a st
Good morning, madame chair and members of the committee. Before we start, lets hear from the b. L. A. Dan gonchar. The proposed budgets for fiscal year 2020 is. more than the original fiscal 1819 budget. The dps proposed 11 million budget for notice cal year 2021 is 215524 or 1. 8 less than the mayors proposed fiscal year 1920 budget of 12 million. A recommended reduction to the proposed budget toele thats 772,000 in fiscal year 1920. All the recommended reductions are ongoing savings. These reductions would still allow an increase of 35323 or. 3 of the departments 1920 budget. Our recommended reductions for the proposed budget total 74261 in fiscal year 2021. All of the 74261 in recommended reductions are ongoing savings. My understanding is that we do not have agreement with the department. We have two recommendations.

And there are other resources to manage the Capital Development of that building. Thank you very much. Thank you for your patients. Thank you, chair. Just a followup question. I noticed that the city spends 58 per visitor to the Asian Art Museum in subsidy from the general fund and the target is 45. And for last several years, that target has been missed and im trying to understand why the target has been missed and why we continue to subsidize at such a higher amount. Thank you, supervisor. I think the asian museum occupies a very special place in the community of San Francisco. We are bringing the vast range of cultures from asia as well as asianamerican cultures which are mostly not so familiar to the public at large.
