BUDGET STATEMENT TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

ON BEHALF OF THE FINANCE AND LABOR COMMITTEE

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

By Supervisor Leland Yee

Chair of the Finance and Labor Committee

July 10, 2000

The Finance and Labor Committee, consisting of Vice-Chair Sue Bierman, President of the Board of Supervisors Tom Ammiano and myself, presents to the Board of Supervisors its recommended budget for the City and County of San Francisco for Fiscal Year 2000-01. The committee is pleased to submit its recommendations to the Board of Supervisors with unanimity.

The committee’s recommended budget is a culmination of months of work by City departments, commissions, the Mayor’s Office and the Finance and Labor Committee. Continuing the effort to open the budget process that I began last year, the Finance and Labor Committee began its deliberations with six community budget hearings in neighborhoods throughout San Francisco. The committee held additional hearings at City Hall. In-depth workshops were held with the Department of Public Health, the Department of Human Services, the Police Department, the Fire Department, the Sheriff, Juvenile Probation and the Department of Children, Youth and Their Families. The committee was well informed about major budget issues when it began two weeks of review of the Mayor’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2000-2001.

The Finance and Labor Committee’s recommended budget emphasizes services to children and families, public safety, and fiscal responsibility.

The committee understands the challenges that families and children face in San Francisco. The cost of living is extremely high and parents are working many hours and sometimes multiple jobs to make ends meet. The budget enhances and improves child care for working parents in a number of ways, including increased wages for child care workers, funding for family day care operators to renovate and expand their play areas and child care spaces, and support for family day care providers to build their peer support group.In addition, the budget includes funding for school-based clinics, a children’s mental health parent help line, and a youth talk line, among other programs.

The recommended budget provides funding for the hiring of 200 new police officers. In addition, the committee provided extra reserve funding as a challenge to the Police Department to hire additional police officers to bring the Police Department to the full staffing level mandated by voters in 1994.These additional officers will be assigned to district police stations.

This committee has been concerned over the past two years about the growing increase in overtime and workers compensation costs, and the impact these increases have had on the City’s budget. Every dime that is spent on workers compensation is money that could be spent on city services. To better control and monitor these expenditures, the committee reserved one-third of departments’ overtime and workers compensation budgets.

The Finance and Labor Committee continues to feel that it is crucial that the City strengthen its fiscal condition now, during prosperous times, in order to prepare for a potential slowdown in the economy.The Mayor’s budget proposed a healthy $30 million general fund reserve. The committee added over $« million to this amount, making it the largest general fund reserve in the City’s history.

The committee reviewed the budget thoroughly and with the expertise and experience of the Budget Analyst, made recommendations to cut unnecessary spending in departments. The Finance and Labor Committee’s recommendations to reduce the budget have resulted in cutting unnecessary expenditures of $7,507,629. These funds were then used to fund other vital city services, which are detailed in the budget message.
