so here s the m.t.a.-wide overtime picture for this fiscal year for the first nine months. the top left-hand pie chart shows you the trends division accounts for 90% of the division and as you can see our annual budget was $33.3 million an we ve spent $33.6 million in the first nine months and we re expected to hit $51 million inover time for the year. i should have said, the agency has always had a significant amount of overtime and we ve never budgeted for the right level of overtime since i ve been here for a variety of reasons. this is a year by year comparison. if you look at the first nine months of the fiscal year for 2009, 2010, and 2011, you can see we re about $4 million higher than last year in the first nine months and the bottom right chart of the bar chart is what i want to point out specifically. in fiscal year 2010, which is a light pink bar, we tried to increase our overtime budget because we knew this is this is a lock standing issue. unfortunately, we had
things an clarity about how the credit cards are going to work vis-a-vis the customer, there s a whole mess of issue it is deal with as to whether 5% is the right fee and who bears it in the industry but if those four things came forward in june, i d be satisfied and prepared to vote for the fare increase then. we can do that. given that, and given the fact we have all the information and we can support the industry, because i fully support the fare increase, i think it s long overdue, it is a long time to wait based on the cost of living increase and san francisco is an expensive city to live in, i would want everyone to be able to live in the city and live comfortably, so if we have all that information, we can vote for the meter increase, the flag drop, everything, then i would support moving it and being prepared to vote to support everything on that day. director brigman? i ll second the motion to continue item 11. i fully support an increase for the drivers, y
support the fare increase, i think it s long overdue, it is a long time to wait based on the cost of living increase and san francisco is an expensive city to live in, i would want everyone to be able to live in the city and live comfortably, so if we have all that information, we can vote for the meter increase, the flag drop, everything, then i would support moving it and being prepared to vote to support everything on that day. director brigman? i ll second the motion to continue item 11. i fully support an increase for the drivers, you know, this last-minute notice of, talk about a flag drop, that s really kind of that really threw everything off kilter now. my concern is, i know there s a real immediate out there for the drivers. i know there are things that logistically have to get done. so i guess the question i pose is, if you look at just the portion that we want to pass, you know, can we show our commitment by passing that now and having that done with? i
couple of issues related toover time. hopefully you remembered mr. ford s opening statement since he made that statement but i m going to read some of the points. we want to talk a little bit about the transit division, other divisions in the agency, executive director ordinance that s going to affect the board supervisors and some of the key considerations that drive our overtime and then the management strategy. so here s the m.t.a.-wide overtime picture for this fiscal year for the first nine months. the top left-hand pie chart shows you the trends division accounts for 90% of the division and as you can see our annual budget was $33.3 million an we ve spent $33.6 million in the first nine months and we re expected to hit $51 million inover time for the year. i should have said, the agency has always had a significant amount of overtime and we ve never budgeted for the right level of overtime since i ve been here for a variety of reasons. this is a year by year comparison.
to bring down theover time but we haven t been able to. this has been a constant struggle for us, budgeting overtime as well as having significant series in our salaries and benefits line items because of our hiring process. this is what the transit division looks like for the fiscal year. the three main groups of staff that driveover time in transit division, the transit operators, a little over half, the vehicle maintenance an may not nantz right of way are about a quarter and the remainer is in our central control. so the 80% of our overtime is consumed by transit operators, and supervisors. this is a division can i interrupt? you just sunshined with the local 6 contract changes that will improve in terms of overtime in that contract. and to be more specific, the previous contract had a work week monday through friday, 8:00 to 5:00 and as you know we re not a monday 8:00 to 5:00 agency so we were having to pay elick trisses overtime any time they worked outside of th
