Process works to start our numbers when we come to you in february, so these instructions only apply to the general Fund Administrative budget because the trust fund budget is your purview and doesnt have to be approved by the Mayors Office or the board of supervisors. The Mayors Office has put out a report that says theyre projecting a deficit of 1. 7 million in 201415 and 118 million in 1516. These projections change as we go through the year. They have different reports. We get the results what theyre doing in the state and the federal government so they bounce the deficit around this amount. This by the way is a lot lower than what we were looking at several years ago. I remember the days of the 200 milliondollar problems but again a lot of things are that used to balance the budget is gone and you cant use a trick more than once. This deficit doesnt include things about the negotiations with the unions except police and fire and 40 are up for it now. The general drivers are we hav
The retirement is youre going to see some changes. Theres open labor contracts just to give you an idea a 1 Salary Increase in the general fund city wide is 20 million so obviously the people who are negotiating the contracts are going to be kind of solid and try not to get Salary Increases, and i also mentioned that there still is the Affordable Care act and other state and federal impacts that the governors proposed budget comes out in may. We never know what it is no, the revise is in may. The original one is in february i believe so that can also impact the general fund and its whatever else departments are doing for the general fund in terms what they need for supplemental appropriation leaves less for the rest of the departments so were all in this big family is affected by what each other does. The mayors budget instructions the two year instructions are as follows. Reduce the general fund support by 2 over two years qha. That means to us in 1415 is that we are to propose ongoin
It would be at an intermediate level between the two. Option number three is the most recent option that is placed on the table. And it looks a lot like option number one in that our sidewalks would stay the same width, our bike lanes would look pretty much the same, you know, some sheared, some dedicated. Our bus platforms will get wider. But whats different about option three is that the transportation lines that currently runon Mission Street like the 14 mission as an example as well as golden gate transit, all of those transportation lines would be moved over to Market Street so that Market Street would become the transportation highway sort of speak. And then what would happen on Mission Street is that because we would no longer have those bus lines on mission, then there would be the opportunity to create a dedicated bicycle lane known as the cycle track on Mission Street. This project is about to go under the Environmental Review process for the next two years. After that its go

Cultural competency within each one of those cultures. On the lgbt issues, and i think that part of it is or was demonstrated by the only limited success that the task force had in reaching out to the russian communities and others in getting response back. And so i think that we need to very, and we need to really focus on cultural competency in communities that may discriminate within their own culture. And it is not only the predominant communities in the city, but also, it is other communities as well. And i think that this is extremely important. And the started as one something mentioned early on and the first speaker at the Human Rights Commission early on bill abrams has been involved in it since the beginning and i am happy to announce that the California Association of human rights organizations is giving bill an award next friday for his human rights work and it is only one of four awards given in the entire state of california and i want to congratulate bill on that honor.
