11:05 pm
>> from the city attorney's office if we don't have quorum we can't have a meeting we did that in the past now have a different approach this news is new to us this morning as well. >> i want to hold the land >> i want to hold the land acknowledgement. >> ramaytush oholone land acknowledgement: we acknowledges that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the ramaytush (rah-my-toosh) ohlone (o-lon-ee) who are the original inhabitants of the san francisco peninsula. forgotten the responsibilities as the caretakers of this place, as well as for all peoples who reside in their traditional territory.
11:06 pm
ramaytush ohlone community and by affirming their sovereign rights as first peoples. >> thank you. >> um, so i guess we'll start with the revenue update. >> thank you. >> all right. >> good morning. um, my name is carol lou citywide revenue manager of the budget and analysis division from the controller's office thank you for being here. last time my colleague gary talked about the homeless for another for the joint report that significantly lowered um, the tax forecast for
11:07 pm
all yours what had been previously assumed in the budget i'll speak that the mark 24 to the joint report we're still writing that report so - >> i'll speak about that march 24th. key points we emphasize forecast is the best thinking in time. um, they change as soon as they're printed always new notation we just want through the year to help to manage the budget from the other looks on the whole san francisco business taxes is quit sensitive to a number of things. um, first, the national and local high interest rates have
11:08 pm
damaged the capital and this impacts the eco system and as well as the shift to remote and hybrid work led to lower commercial residents we talked about that in the past, and, secondly, the rates of business taxes are highly progressive the volatility in our residents. um, a census taxes are paid by. >> 40u67b9 of companies paid by 4 hundred firms versus the biggest tax is 10 thousand firms so even of that the top 10 payers pay a large portion of 0 gross receipt the handful of
11:09 pm
affirms can change the forecast one way or another and another factor in our business taxes on those whole have become complex over the years wooefz phased out payroll and grow receipt through he prop e and homelessness taxes were added in recently and 22 in 2019 prop f allowed the changes for the rates and then in 2022 we started collecting the executive compensation tax all of that complexity seen legal disputes for this tax alone we're not able offering not able to count ii hundred million dollars as earned because of challenges and taken as well taken rungz in the tax base for the future issues. >> um, the turning more to the
11:10 pm
forecast you won't be surprised similar to the permission in december i'll show you the slides this we're anticipating a tax revenue versus the higher budget not the exact numbers but this time show a range and looking at the forecast for march and the budget as a matter we like to include we suggest included in the mayors budget outcome is citing basis by the march update but the material comes in april and may and budget for that a little bit different from the report in march and gross receipts updated tax filing and payment don't come until april and three and four that finally given the ocoh residence on the experience from
11:11 pm
higher years of um, last minute reductions often not often but year-end reductions are of the on the lower end of revenue forecast range and should the actual revenue speed budget the funds will be appropriated in the future. >> that is a lot of information. >> all right. >> so here um, makes things concrete the chart the 5 years at 4 points in time the blue is our 5 year forecast in march 21st and the orange a little bit lower that the march 2022 forecast and the green lower it is our march and the gray shaded area we're thinking for march 24th and
11:12 pm
calling out the march forecast because that is the forecast around which the city developed the plans around so the pattern is it you as you can see with every forecast the city has made ever march forecast taking down that revenue forecast. >> a bit more about the shading in gray. we're still assuming no or slow gross we're assuming last time and or sorry back in december um, assuming the level of remote and hybrid at the current level and making allowance for disputes for taxation increasing um, over the years and even within the year. the reason why there is a gray shading upside so far receipts
11:13 pm
coming in higher by at the same time down sides and risks. >> and - >> okay. so the black dots this is the exact same pictures bus dots now the black dots are a reality check showing end in the year so forecasting higher we actually ended up lower um, that's why we're making the recommendations that um, that department makes they're spending that plans at the bottom of the revenue range that the expect the revenues come in higher that lower number it is available for appropriation in the future in a way easier to
11:14 pm
add. okay. just terms of the next step this is where we are in the process. so um, and in january not in january but in december 2023 the controller's office and mayor's office and board of supervisors issued the financial plan update and in february we issued a march i mean i'm sorry a six months update right now in march. and we will be realizing ever finalizing and realizing the updates either tomorrow or monday and after that in may the controller issued a 9 month update that is the revenues again and material changes that will impact the budget as well and in june the mayor proposed
11:15 pm
the budget and adopts and amends and adopts the budget and in september we get to see where the budget end at that time of the year. >> the last slide i don't have to cover if we showed that with every presentation a revenue about the homelessness taxes. and i'm available for questions. or comments. >> questions that the public has? >> commissioners any questions? >> any questions? >> no, i don't have any questions. >> okay. me neither thank you
11:16 pm
for the presentation. >> thank you. >> um, let's see - well, just one thing on the timeline um, the april meeting will be when the committee will be voting on a budget then goes to the commission and then to the mayor and then to the um, board of supervisors in june so i wanted to make sure that everyone in the audience knew that. >> thank you. >> i think you're up next. >> controller. >> i want to make a few announcements. >> yeah. um, talking about the process um, a couple of things so - just for you all to know,
11:17 pm
of course, now have you after today have the contacts and information you'll need and then next week the folks that attend the line son meeting it will be virtual to help us to look at applications for next year and basically feedback will be for the april 25th and help you draft your letter of recommendations after the brainstorm and can refine and edit and vote on your final riemsz that's in the next slide um, and then just a couple of additional statistical things to talk about. of course, now
11:18 pm
understand quorum which is the zoo gave us the official combination without quorum we can't hold an informational meeting can't start a meeting unless a quorum and the other issue that has come up and thank you, chair for raising this point to circle back the clinic is referring to the employer and the official policy advised the oakland policy members to recuse themselves for a category of things voted on for the employer um, so the vice president will need to remove herself from all discussion in voting on any decisions even potentially benefit third street which means she can't participated in any
11:19 pm
conversation or voting 80 has to do with with the renewal of funding or adding any funding. >> anything- >> (multiple voices). >> right kind of how i'm seeing it. >> um, yeah, and let's. >> (multiple voices.) >> a little bit further. >> okay. >> so just on that note, if vp recuse herself if that matter no quorum the committee will also be prohibited from discussing or making any sort of recommendation on that exact funding category. >> i just, you know, one of the things we've talked about and put it on the april agenda to change the way we do the define quorum as a majority of the members who are seat not the number of seats it - when i have the policy both sides on filing the seats impacts our ability to
11:20 pm
do do work and so um, that i think we should have on the agenda first and change the quorum rules and no issues that is kind of doing problem solving but that will work something that is done um, in some not all but - >> great. >> um, noted um, i'm not sure exactly when what that means. >> we discussed it early on. >> okay. >> and we can but on the bylaws and yeah. >> talk to our city attorney um, so one idea. >> (multiple voices) (laughter). >> thank you for looking at yeah. yeah so one possible i'm going to make a suggestion to consider. which is um, to admit
11:21 pm
any specific category in the funding from the entire recommendation progress that third street is currently in contract with or categories that the ox makes in the future. um, we can do it sort of on that line item of funding we can go ahead on the back end when the funding ask going um, that category that they're receiving money for and vice chair and can happen today, if you want to have a xhflgsz of conversation about that or take a couple of days to understand the categories before thursday next and so um, if we're going to put that cyber thing um.
11:22 pm
>> yeah. [off mic.] not today in my mind anything involving housing or behavorial health or operate like all those departments like we receive the funding will you anything. >> right um, so, yeah again, just to really reiterate that makes sense can't make a recommendation to redo to stay or prevent funding um, so vice chair will get back. >> yeah. >> i have some ideas. >> okay. also with the organization. >> okay. >> um, and then then the last tidbit is the button um, for the april 25th meetings have transaction services available on a spanish and cantonese if you're aware of any other
11:23 pm
languages let us know we can help to set that up as quickly as possible if you know of any please let me know. >> that's the way it is for me. >> thank you. >> very helpful. >> um, like most stepped out they didn't have any. >> the agency. >> okay. great. so um, we're ready for the agency. thank you. >> hi. >> can you hear me? >> yes [off mic.] >> what? >> or d c h is first. >> will help us a i got it. >> i'm as hsh.
11:24 pm
next slide, please. online. >> got it. >> (multiple voices). >> sorry (laughter.) >> things like (laughter). >> hi, good morning i'm christine rollin and i'm the budget director of hsh. and here to present on the proposed 24, 26 budget next slide, please. um, i'd like to start off by introducing you to the overall assumption since the spending plan we're about to review the proposal for hsh for 24, 26 is the investments budget year finishing fy2022-23 budget circle and budget three percent cost of living and 24, 26 and 2
11:25 pm
percent in 28 we shaurld will be available to continue the spending plan and used available fund balance and pay and family housing authority to incorporate that recommendation. next slide, please. so a quick overview of this chart and you have seen this format in the slide is trying to capture our current year budget for the next two years for the budget circle circle to have a full 5 years picture of the spending plan and the revenue for hsh in the slide. aye. >> as you can see this top
11:26 pm
year that the shortfall that total it the difference between our total fiscal year year and the total budget recommendation ending with the controller's office presentation that you just seen. as you can see the structural shortfall in hsh is overall spending plan pretty significant with the 75 percent of total cost and underneath the shortfall of one hundred and $17 million and one hundred and $5 million next year as you can see we video other one time revenue sources those one time revenue resources have interest rate and carried forward and reserve those revenues are the balance of the overall shortfall in the fund if you get to the bottom this is the total prejudged year-end shortfall and
11:27 pm
surplus with the projected under spend and the balancing the structural shortfall of the defined and every year we're balancing did shortfall by deciding into prior year carried forward and the overall with the authority the structure of the funds prevents this from leveraging all of our under spend that's why we're projecting shortfall across the funds and breakdown into each authoritys some of the authorities are higher shortfall than others. next slide, please. >> so first up is general housing in general housing we um, have included a strategic plan investment um, was based on
11:28 pm
the funding plan that was built into the budget for fiscal year fy2022-23 and 24, 25 and as you can see we do have a structural shortfall in the general housing authority for prop c in current year sorry in budget year 24, 25 one revenue of $27 million but project by project a structural deficit in general housing in fiscal year 25, $2668 million and a additional structure shortfall in the fund on $6.5 million as you can see in out year of fiscal year 27, 28 next slide, please. this gives us a little bit more detail of those really outs on this side.
11:29 pm
we have accounted for our base spending plan of our what we included in the budget last year. as you can see we're assuming a level this includes a full ramp up of 200 and three 5 housing that can be seen under medium funds with roll out of our flexible housing and women flexible and emergency vouchers and the expansion of our money management program. and then our subsidies program. next slide, please. so as we talked in the previous slide we have an overall $12 million shortfall in 25, 26 has been partially asphyxiated based on the programs noted in
11:30 pm
the slide because the programs in an start on july 1st, we recouped the saving to allow us to balance the shortfall in the budget cycle with the implementation of those programs but really important to note that many of the programs are from the subsidies and we launch those programs will be hard to pull back we have an unfunded gap of 12 miles the rollout of the program identified here in this slide. next slide, please. >> okay. we're going to transition to h usually there the housing bucket unlike the
11:31 pm
one we talked about above k actually has an overall surplus in the authority but there is an ongoing structural shortfall that between our total and our total revenue plan as you can see. $11 million in current year and $3 million in the next year of the budget because we have so many that one time revenue sources via interest, carried forward and the reserve we're able to balance that shortfall outward to fiscal year 28. the projected use plan that you see on the slide includes ocoh recommendation of 50 k by housing and rapid housing bulbs and 15 k for the subsidies for
11:32 pm
those. one time $68 million the surplus is $39 million for acquisition. >> this is the detail of the slide we kind of went over showing you how the plan beaked by program. and the housing program grows in the out years as does the vouchers. next slide, please. so this slide kind of shows the difference between our ocoh and what the proposal includes as you can see $8 million in k
11:33 pm
rapid subsidies as well as $2.7 million in k rapid housing for k impacted by violence and that falls in line with the committees recommendations and hoping for the proposal $5 million for the k subsidies and was additionally an acquisition request for k p.s. hsh based on the overall deficit i showed you. in slide 7 um, we don't actually have enough funds for an ongoing fund balance to support the operating cost we identified have enough capital funding for on acquisition work with the question to look at the funding with the services will look like but at that point not built into the funding plan next
11:34 pm
step the family housing authority and as you can see have an overall structural shortfall um, a difference of $20 million between the use and revenue and fiscal year 24, 25 dropping to $5 million in 25, 26 and balancing that with our one time revenue source of interest carried forward in our reserve with $30.01 time revenue we're going to eye in 24, 25 as you can see in the out years the one time revenue really is eaten and with a surplus over one million dollars in fiscal year 8 we don't have ongoing funding um, outside of what you're current spending plan includes and the
11:35 pm
current spending plan includes 80 subsidies this program is allotted um, all in year one of the budget cycle of 24, 25 that is partially what you see the $20 million shortfall. um, the 5 years rapid housing program in year one of the funding will go out up front and - but good for 4 or 5 year subsidy. next slide, please. this again is the detail of use plan that i poke on the other side and as you can see family rapid housing loaded at $22 million in fiscal year 24, 25 dropping down to $2 million in the out years that is based on the program design proposed by the community and reflecting here the rest of program in the
11:36 pm
family housing are level with 5 year spending plan as accounts for the adjustment for the other year. next slide, please. >> so for families housing the committee recommendations is $25 million for one hundred and 25 based on the ongoing and one time revenue sources we have available we're able to build $20 million for an estimated 5, and budget $47,000 per family per year instead of of the estimated 40 am. next slide, please. . okay. >> um, as we transition into
11:37 pm
the problem solving our overall um, truly shortfall and growth um, we as you can see in prevention and problem solving bucket have a total plan of $60 million every year with the cost and overall the revenue is $75 million leaving the $30 million gap every year and based on the under spend underserved we can a balance this over the next two years but project the fiscal year 26 and 27 and 27 and 28 will be a major shortfall we expect to spend down our reserve and any funds available for the end of 25, 26.
11:38 pm
>> this is detail for as you can see the breakdown of what the plan looks like and one thing that important to note that there were accounting for just as involved families and k all the the base level and the plan of approximately to $11 million per year ago those few minutes for problem solving were budget for the one time we didn't anticipate having an additional problem solving fund available after fiscal year 2022. >> 24 in the founding plan using the fire reserve to balance the next two years of problem solving to try to transition the program on zoning that will see the deficit from
11:39 pm
26 and 27 and 27/28. >> and the last authority again, we have an overall structural koifgz authority um, $11.8 million in year one dropping to 7 in year two. um, this is balanced by one time receive including the interest a card forward in interest and reserve this subject proposal you'll see funding round 3 for our district 10 calvin program without in grants our shortfall in year one 24, 25 will climb to one $.7 million and have $10.8 million shortfall in year
11:40 pm
too many um, we balanced our overall sheltering investment costs with fiscal year through fiscal year 26 and as you can see here the growing in out years of 26,/27 and 27/28 increases. >> can you switch to the next slide the reason for the increase i was so to speak through on the last slide the increase for the navigation centers and anticipating that one of our team centers that is budget through the plan will need an alternative revenue source an eligible use for proxy funding. overall your current shelter investment costs have been balanced through 27 but our
11:41 pm
funding will go away at that point in time and the support will be needed to help out with the overall h grants going away with while we see the grant growing in 26/27 it didn't include additional hsh shelter shortfalls can exist if we don't receive additional ongoing supports for the shelter investment. >> it is what it is any questions? >> that's it. >> thank you very much for that information actually i was looking at you (laughter). >> so just to i mean it seems
11:42 pm
like your biggest area kind of see the obvious for a second we're struggling around the housing and so um, and just mind to note that on the housing for the single - i mean correct me if i am wrong but the way i'm seeing that the department is asking for the mayor to backfill that $12 million shortfall for the adult housing instead of cutting things that are important meeting the grossly e goals that the department has so i think that fantastic and i think us as a body will help support and push that all that to make three happen i want to note kind of a different one on the family and youth looking the
11:43 pm
$5 million cut um, from housing and a $5.9 million from the youth if we keep the acquisition dollars in there i really would love to see us have kind of equity and push for back filling of all the categories from the mayor's office i know we have an overall city shortfall we have a $14 million city budget and only funding 5 and a half percent of that budget including proposing c and federal and local and state funds the number one issue for san franciscans. so i um, think that is kind of the way i'm thinking about that um, and just want to note that because i um, i think, you know, that ask
11:44 pm
kind of the one area but i mean it is pretty um, fantastic that we given the drop for the funds not seeing the heavy hits i appreciate the creative thinking um, and like the idea um, because we don't know what things will be like in two years i love the idea of bridging it and um, coming in to it and have to step in to deal with that but pinpoint those two areas of concerns one thing how much per subsidy like per year i mean per month - per household a family of 5. >> so i don't know if i can speak to the detail in exact
11:45 pm
terms i think we're working through that but we budget was a total of about. >> yeah. >> two hundred um, 200 or $250,000 per family over budget i don't know had that breakdown in a monthly rate but a 5-year investment. >> 41 hundred at the low end but not the subsidy i believe that vice chair talking about the difference between um, what the subsidy money will be and um, going towards rent and like- >> (multiple voices). >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so that would be great to get that information back. >> thank you. >> um, any other questions. >> a comment i present you including the out years very
11:46 pm
clear that um, we need tobacco looking at not only an accident that budget cycle in 26 but 28 as we make the programs and for the committee and community keep in mind had looks like under spending in the early years is what will keep us functioning at that level going forward. thank you. >> for all this work. >> um, thank you so much. >> and move on to dph. thank you. >> hi, again morning sorry
11:47 pm
(laughter). >> um, yeah [off mic.] >> good morning . i'm emily the dope finance officer and on the dph portion. so um, here's our quick overview um, and want to pause and thank david what is here helped prepare all our slides today um, acknowledge the great work to get us here um, so we are um, planning to continue all the programming included in the 2021 oakland investment plan and the prior dph budget um, we are also facing a structural shortfall will rely on one time funding resources including a
11:48 pm
partial draw down the acquisition fund to balance the operating costs in um, the next two budget years. >> um, the behavorial health program have facing up to 40 percent structural shortfall after we withdraw from the one time and we're proposing to use the next two years um, as we ramp up to this full limitation to evaluating program and thinking through with all of you and um, another shareholders what are the programs um, that we believe should be sustained with proxy resources going forward. we do seem in this um, as three percent annual cost of doing business with the all yours in our projection. as a
11:49 pm
reminder about what we're doing we are focusing on implementation of all of the um, key oakland funded initiates in 24, 25 staffing and capacity of office of corroborative care that supports navigation and the responses to 51, 50 as well as response with connections to ongoing services. we are continuing to expand the facts team which will cover um, additional critical support to all one hundred and 40 plus supportive housing sites we are explaining on opening the stabilization unit in 25, 16 short term urgent care by these and that is a project we'll also note again, we are using
11:50 pm
acquisition dollars to rehab that and in 35r7b with app completing um, thirty bed expansion of the housing for women and have also working towards full implementations of k and transgender client services and continuing to um, expand our evaluation team so we are having happy discussions in the next two years in the impact of that. >> so this is a reminder how that breaks down given the different categories of our spending plan um, we're maintaining the spending plan across the budget. we are showing hsh a significant structural shortfall in the slide we're showing you the
11:51 pm
ongoing revenue versus our um, spending projection in the current year and the projection in the 4 years that follow. in the next slide show you how we solved that. >> so so this slide is the one time um, so we have two pornlts we thought about that we several sources with ongoing revenue and the acquisition fund balance and the fund balance um, and reserve available one time. the current you'll see now proposed to be $50 million a combination of current year under spending around $22 million and $28 million from prior years we always plan to use in our 24/25.
11:52 pm
so in the first years 24/25 um, we are projecting to spend a little bit over one hundred million dollars on the operating program and draw down $44 million for the acquisition will leave us enough funding attendees of 24/25 for 25/26 and more promised for that year and have a small amount of the money left in our um, acquisition and maintenance fund um, in 26/27 and significant shortfall in the revenue picture didn't improve across the next this year and the next two years and um, so at this point our plan for projected spevendz half of the fund acquisition and half of the
11:53 pm
funds has set aside on the balancing of next two years to refresh you on where we are two key projects that are currently under construction. that are relying in part on proposing c all the projects in the behavorial health are a mix of different funding sources working to leverage all the money that is state has been putting into um, behavorial health facilities expansion the two projects highland are the stabilization unit and the new residential step down treasure island those are projects underway right now and um, alledgedly notably additional sites not putting i am the dollar amount to the exact because we're in it active negotiation by all the dollars were that are um, in the
11:54 pm
acquisition fund not tied to the rebalancing are tied to this effort and include um, efforts to relocate as well as for the new mental health center. >> this slide resummarizes everything we're 80 percent implemented in the current year and um, have accounted for a little bit of savings to help us to bridge the next two years um, we're maintaining all the programming in the proposal um, through 1.5/26 and will take the challenging shortfall at the end of the budget period. >> with that, i'll take any
11:55 pm
questions? you have. and commissioner williams. >> no questions i got all my questions but again, just, you know, kind of really appreciating the bridging of the money and keeping the programs going forward full steam ahead by hsh given the hunger crises on the street i think that we need to push the mayor's office to operate those programs so rather than going in the direction and so we just um, starting to move the dial on house, ways, and means committee the only city in the wetlands to
11:56 pm
see a reduction in homeless and a little bit of thanks for investments one time was really prop c and we're going to have another decrease i feel like we're making a lot of progress on the behavorial health front and people getting care for the first time that the second and it is incredibly important we look at the crises on the street and people getting addicted to opioid and appreciate the department of health and, you know, i think speaking for myself from the coalition on homelessness want the pushing forward, you know, to continue this investment. thank you. >> and i appreciate the
11:57 pm
addition of the new afn olympics not unfortunately, at some point decisions made but these programs are functional. >> thank you very much. um, i think now we're not calling not it is over thank you, everyone for being here we appreciate everyone's time and decade and really apologize for the having to change the last minute and hopefully we can get new members seated yeah [meeting adjourned]
