Major Changes and Trends in the City Budget Fiscal Year 2011‐12   Cost Growth Drives Continuing Budget Deficits, Even as the Economy Begins to Recover The Proposed FY 2011‐12 budget illustrates a trend that is projected to continue into the future: despite moderate growth in revenues, significant spending reductions are necessary to balance the budget. In May, 2010 the Mayor introduced the City’s first Five‐Year Financial Plan. The plan projects revenues and costs over the next five years, and recommends strategies to restore fiscal balance. The projections in the plan tell a troubling but familiar story about the City’s financial outlook: while the economy is on the rebound and the budget is growing, the cost of operating the government will grow at a much faster rate. In fact, unless corrective action is taken, expenditures are projected to grow almost three times faster than revenues. The Mayor’s pension and benefit reform efforts are the key strategy for correcting this imbalance.  Growth in Employee Benefit Costs Employee costs grow by $144 million in the FY 2011‐12 proposed budget, and are a significant driver of the budget deficit. Employer pension contributions increase by $106.2 million1, and health and dental benefits grow by $26.6 million. The budget assumes that all employees with a scheduled wage increase will agree to forgo or defer the increase, generating $20.2 million in General Fund savings.    Loss of State and Federal Revenues Loss of State and Federal revenues is another significant driver of the General Fund deficit for FY 2011‐12. The budget includes a $15 million General Fund reserve in anticipation of State budget reductions, and a $2.5 million reserve in the Children’s Fund. Significant uncertainty remains about how the State will balance its budget and the impact those decisions will have on San Francisco. Known State and Federal revenue losses include the loss of the State Hospital Quality Assurance Fee and a reduction in the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage. These two revenues account for a decline of $135 million compared to the FY 2010‐11 budget. These reductions are partially offset by $39 million in new Medi‐Cal revenues as part of federal health care reform, and $19 million in retroactive payments for mental health services under a recently approved State Plan Amendment. The FY 2011‐12 budget assumes losses of $3.1 million in revenues from CalWORKS and various public health programs, as well as expenditure increases at the Sheriff and Adult Probation departments in anticipation of the State’s public safety realignment proposal, which will shift responsibility for hundreds of prisoners and parolees from the State to local governments.   Increase in Total Budget As anticipated in the Five‐Year Financial Plan, the total City budget is growing modestly as the economy stabilizes and revenues begin to rebound. The total City budget for FY 2011‐12 will grow by $266 million compared to the current year. The following are some departments with significant increases in total budget appropriations:  Department of Public Health ($112.5 million): The DPH budget grows by $112.5 million compared 

to the prior year, driven by two primary factors. First, DPH will receive $39 million as part of California’s section 1115 Medi‐Cal waiver. This funding is attached to a requirement to meet specific 

1 Total retirement costs are increasing by $61.2 million, including an increase of $106.2 million in employer contributions offset by a reduction of $45.0 million in employer pickup of the employee contribution for certain bargaining units, which has been substituted for salary increases on a cost‐neutral basis in the FY 2011‐12 budget per MOU amendments.

milestones designed to prepare local governments for implementation of President Obama’s federal health care reform, including expanded clinic capacity, access to specialized healthcare, and conversion to electronic medical records. In addition, DPH’s budget includes $41 million in increased spending that is used to draw down federal revenue – the funds will be matched and returned to the City.  

Public Utilities Commission ($62.5 million): PUC’s budget is growing as part of a planned historic investment in the seismic safety of the city and regional utility infrastructure. The budget includes an increase of $33.6 million in debt service and $11.2 million in capital renewals, plus $11.1 million in pension and benefit increases. PUC is funded entirely with water, sewer, power and other revenues, and receives no General Fund support.  

Other Enterprise and Non‐General Fund Departments ($30.0 million): In addition to the PUC, the FY 2011‐12 budget includes growth in a number of non‐General Fund departments. These changes include:   Airport: $8.0 million primarily for the operation of the newly opened Terminal 2  Department of Building Inspection: $4.9 million as a result of increased real estate development 

activity  Municipal Transportation Agency: $5.5 million for changes already included in the adopted two‐

year budget for SFMTA  Port of San Francisco: $3.9 million for capital upgrades and operations  Department of the Environment: $4.3 million in grant and other non‐General Fund revenues for 

recycling and other programs  Public Library: $3.4 million due to the reopening of libraries following the Branch Library 

Improvement Program.  Human Services Agency ($20.9 million): HSA’s budget is growing due to increased caseloads in 

federally mandated programs. A significant portion of this growth is leveraging non‐General Fund dollars, including $15.7 million in state and federal support for basic safety net programs like food stamps, foster care, adoption and employment programs for low-income adults and families.

Economic and Workforce Development ($13.8 million): OEWD’s budget includes $12 million in appropriation authority for the first phase of preparations for the 34th America’s Cup. This spending is contingent on private fund raising by the event sponsors; no General Fund money will be used.  

  Balancing Summary The April 2011 Joint Report projected a $306.4 million deficit for FY 2011‐12. The Mayor’s proposed budget reflects a balanced approach to addressing this shortfall, including $133.8 million (44%) in revenues and $172.6 million (56%) in expenditure reductions. The proposed budget balancing solutions are closely aligned with the strategies recommended in the Five‐Year Financial Plan.

Position Growth FY 2011-12 Mayor’s Proposed Budget

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2010-11 budget and the Five-Year Financial Plan assume a continued strategy of

managing salary spending through reduced hiring rather than layoffs. Since Mayor Lee took office in

January 2011, he has continued a policy of freezing non-essential General Fund hiring to reduce costs.

Citywide Trends

The FY 2011–12 proposed budget includes funding for 26,272 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions, an

increase of 164 FTEs or 0.6% over the FY 2010-11 budget.

• Although total FTEs rose between FY 2010-11 and FY 2011-12, FTE levels still remain at a historic low

compared to the past 11 years.

• The City's workforce has decreased by 1,788 FTEs or 6.4% since FY 2001-02.

• The position increases in the FY 2011-12 budget are funded almost entirely with non-General Fund

sources. Some departments, such as the Airport and the Public Utilities Commission, receive outside

funding and need additional staff to support their operations.

Department FTE Growth

The following are some of the more significant proposed FTE changes:

• Department of Public Health (DPH): DPH received $39.5 million in new federal funding to begin

implementing Health Care Reform. A majority of the 25 new FTEs will be hired with these funds and

will work to expand access to care, decrease wait times and comply with Health Care Reform.

• Airport: The Airport increased its FTEs by 88 over the prior fiscal year largely due to the full year

operation of the newly renovated and reopened Terminal 2.

• Public Utilities Commission (PUC): The PUC will increase FTEs by approximately 43 over the prior fiscal

year due to on-going capital projects and maintenance of infrastructure. In FY 2011-12 alone, the PUC

plans to spend $154.7 million on capital projects.

• Department of Building Inspection (DBI): DBI is increasing its FTE count by 17 due to an increase in

development projects. Increased staffing is required to facilitate quick processing of permits for

construction projects, which are a critical piece of the economic recovery.

Comparison with Five‐Year Financial Plan Fiscal Year 2011‐12 Mayor’s Proposed budget  In May 2011 Mayor Lee proposed the City’s first Five‐Year Financial Plan for Fiscal Years 2011‐12 through 2015‐16.  The plan projects revenues and costs over the next five fiscal years and recommends strategies to address the structural imbalance in the City’s finances.  For FY 2011‐12, the Five‐Year Financial Plan projected a $283 million gap between revenues and expenditures.1   As shown in the following table, the budget balancing solutions included in the Mayor’s Proposed Budget are closely aligned with the strategies recommended in the Plan.

Page 6: Highlights of Proposed Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Budget

Budget Outreach and Engagement Fiscal Year 2011‐12 Mayor’s Proposed Budget  In preparing the Fiscal Year 2011‐12 Proposed Budget, Mayor Lee undertook an extensive process of outreach and engagement with residents, community stakeholders, non‐profits, businesses, and labor leaders. Through town halls, working groups, and meetings focused on specific service areas, the Mayor solicited feedback to identify budget priorities and inform his budget balancing approach.  The Mayor then worked collaboratively with members of the Board of Supervisors to ensure that the input he received through this process was reflected in his proposed budget. 

Co‐Hosting Townhalls with Every Member of the Board of Supervisors 

Over the past four months, the Mayor hosted budget town hall meetings for every Supervisorial District in the City. At these meetings, members of the public heard from City officials on their budget proposals but, more importantly, they provided feedback, suggestions, concerns and ideas to the Mayor, Supervisors and Department leadership. 

In‐Depth “Working Sessions” around Health and Human Services Budget Proposals  

In response to Fiscal Year 2011‐12 Budget Instructions, the Department of Public Health (DPH), the Human Services Agency (HSA) and the Department of Children, Youth and Their Families (DCYF), initially submitted $25.8 million in budget reduction proposals that could impact direct health and human services.  To better understand the full impact of these proposals, the Mayor gathered community leaders and non‐profit service providers in a series of four in‐depth “working sessions.” During these sessions, the community leaders offered alternative ideas and identified a set of priorities to guide the Mayor’s funding decisions. As a result of these discussions, Mayor Lee’s Proposed Budget makes $14.3 million of adjustments to department proposals to ensure funding continues for targeted, critical services that support the safety and security of the City’s most vulnerable populations. 

Individual and Group Meetings with Residents and Non‐Profit Service Providers 

The Mayor and his staff personally met with hundreds city residents and of non‐profit service providers currently working in various sectors including homeless prevention, senior services, children and family services, mental health and substance abuse treatment services.  Through these extensive meetings, Mayor Lee was able to gather feedback from individuals and organizations who provide direct services to the most vulnerable populations in San Francisco.   

Working with Commission Presidents, Labor Representatives and Business Leaders 

Throughout the budget process, the Mayor’s Office provided presentations and sought feedback from Labor representatives, commission presidents and business leaders to gain additional perspectives and to hear concerns about budget proposals. The Mayor also worked collaboratively with the City’s labor unions and the Board of Supervisors to develop a pension reform charter amendment.  Although this measure does not impact the FY 2011‐12 budget, it is a key component of the Mayor’s effort to address the structural imbalance in the City’s finances, as laid out in the Five‐Year Financial Plan. 

Page 7: Highlights of Proposed Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Budget

Health and Human Services  FY 2011‐12 Mayor’s Proposed Budget  

Overview The City and County of San Francisco’s Health and Human Services departments include the Department of Public Heath (DPH), Human Services Agency (HSA) and Department of Children, Youth & Their Families (DCYF). Together, these three department’s proposed budgets for Fiscal Year 2011‐12 total $2.38 billion, which is an increase of $144 million (six percent) compared to the Fiscal Year 2010‐11 Budget.  With a total budget of $1.57 billion, including funding for the San Francisco General Hospital and the Laguna Honda long‐term care facility, DPH makes up the majority of the Health and Human Service budget.  HSA has a proposed budget of $690 million and is the City’s central resource for public assistance, including homeless and housing support, family and children’s services, employment and general assistance for low‐income and unemployed adults and support programs for the elderly and disabled. Lastly, the Mayor’s Proposed Budget includes $121 million for DCYF to provide funding and support for youth and family services across the city.   

Compared to the Fiscal Year 2010-11 Budget, the total Health and Human Services budget grew by $144 million (six percent).  

Community Engagement Process and Prioritizing Vulnerable Populations   At the beginning of the budget process, each department was issued a General Fund reduction target to assist the Mayor in reducing the City’s General Fund deficit.  Over the past four months, the Mayor and Department leadership engaged in community dialogue about these reduction targets and paid careful attention to any service reductions proposed in the DPH, HSA and DCYF proposals.   To better understand the full impact of these proposed reductions, the Mayor gathered Department heads and community leaders to participate in working sessions around the Health and Human Services budget proposals.  These sessions led to concrete changes in the accepted reductions in the Mayor’s Proposed Budget.   While the three departments initially proposed $25.8 million in service reductions, after listening to and working with community leaders, the Mayor redirected dollars within the budget to continue funding $14.3 million of these programs (57 percent of proposed reductions) to protect vital services to the City’s most vulnerable populations.i  

Major Initiatives and General Fund Changes  

Department of Public Health – The Mayor’s Proposed Budget fully funds operations at San Francisco General Hospital and Laguna Honda long‐term care facility.  In addition, in Fiscal Year 2011‐12, DPH will receive additional federal dollars to prepare for the full implementation of federal Health Care Reform.  This funding requires DPH to make several significant investments that will allow the Department to expand clinic hours, increase access to specialty care and begin to use Electronic Medical Records.   In addition, DPH will continue to

Human Services Agency – HSA will continue to provide valuable assistance to adults and families in need. The Mayor’s Proposed Budget funds $18.9 million of growth in the Department’s Aid Budget, which leverages state and federal funds for basic safety net programs. HSA was also able to identify new revenue opportunities including $3.7 million in new Food Stamps support and $2.5 million from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development for homeless shelters and programs. Additionally, HSA will continue to run the JobsNow program, which will place approximately 1,225 individuals in subsidized employment. Despite the implementation of $8.2 million in General Fund budget reductions, including program and contract reductions and new revenue, HSA's General Fund support grew by $23.1 million (11 percent) due to:  

• Increased costs related to fringe benefits for existing positions;  • $19.1 million in lost federal stimulus support; • New state and federal mandates for foster care and adoption programs; • Growing caseloads in CalWORKS; and • Lost revenues in CalWORKs, Medi‐Cal and other State and Federal support. 

Department of Children Youth and Their Families – DCYF will continue to provide funding and support for programs that provide services to children and families across San Francisco.  In Fiscal Year 2011‐12, DCYF will provide:  

• $15.9 million for Out of School Time programs;  • $10.3 million for Violence Prevention;  • $18 million for Youth Leadership (Y‐Lead); • $11.1 million for Early Care and Education; and • $4.4 for Family Support. 

In September 2011, DCYF will issue a new Request for Proposals (RFP) to all service providers in Violence Prevention.  Awards will begin in January 2012 and recipient programs will serve out a new, three‐year contract with DCYF.   

In Fiscal Year 2011‐12, DCYF’s General Fund support decreased by $2.4 million (eight percent) due to targeted reductions to non‐profit grants based on funding priorities identified in the community engagement process.  To stay mindful of pending state reductions, the Mayor’s Proposed Budget also includes a Children’s Fund State Reserve using better than expected Children’s Fund revenue.  This Reserve will be used to help offset future reductions due to Children’s Programs due to state budget changes.

Health & Human Services, Budget Outreach and Engagement Outcomes of Fiscal Year 2011‐12 Process  In response to Fiscal Year 2011‐12 Budget Instructions, the Department of Public Health (DPH), the Human Services Agency (HSA) and the Department of Children, Youth and Their Families (DCYF), initially submitted $25.8 million of budget reductions that could impact direct services within the health and human services policy area. While the Mayor is legally obligated maintain the solvency of the City, as a result of a thorough community outreach process Mayor Lee’s Proposed Budget prioritizes $14.3 million for critical service areas that support the safety and security of the City’s most vulnerable populations. 

Outreach Process Given the impacts that the departments’ proposal could have on health and human services, Mayor Lee engaged in town hall meetings with all of the District Supervisors to listen to the residents of San Francisco and discuss their concerns around the City’s budget deficit.  The Mayor and his staff also personally met with hundreds of representatives from non‐profit service providers from around the City to better understand the full impact of the proposed budget reductions.  Finally, the Mayor gathered Department heads and community leaders to participate in multiple working sessions to develop the following Budget Policy Priorities: 

1. Preserve programs and services that meet basic human needs:  housing/shelter, food and nutrition, protection/safety, emergency assistance, and access to healthcare and income support. 

2. Prioritize the most vulnerable, including those at the highest risk for negative consequences and/or with multiple issues and barriers. 

3. Prioritize/Minimize reductions to services and programs that leverage outside revenues (for example: state, federal, private, donations, and client fees). 

4. Prioritize services that directly benefit individuals and prevent higher costs to the City and/or higher service costs. 

5. Prioritize services that will be lost and non‐renewable (such as facilities) if they are eliminated. 

6. Support the diverse expertise and experience of the system of care – which includes a variety of care: neighborhood based, population based, Family Resource Centers, and other programs that support families. 

7. Prioritize the commitment to community‐based care – for service delivery and outreach; and to prevent institutionalization, incarceration, and the utilization of high‐end care. 

8. Consider program effectiveness when making budget reductions in specific programs or initiatives. 

Outcomes As a result of the numerous community town halls, individual meetings with non‐profit service providers and the in‐depth working sessions, the Mayor was able to move forward with implementing $11.5 million in cuts to health and human services programs and contracts, while preserving $14.3 million in the most critical services.    $ millions  Proposed Reductions  Accepted Reductions Change   % Change DCYF                              $5.6                              $2.8          ‐$2.8  50%DPH                            12.1                              5.5          ‐6.6  55%DHS                             3.3                              1.8          ‐1.5  46%DAAS                             4.8                             1.4         ‐3.4  71%Total   $25.8   $11.5       ‐$14.3  57%

Public Safety FY 2011‐12 Mayor’s Proposed Budget  Overview The City’s public safety departments include the Police Department, the Fire Department, the Sheriff’s Department, the Department of Emergency Management, the District Attorney, the Superior Court, the Juvenile Probation Department, the Public Defender, and the Adult Probation Department. Police, Fire, and Sheriff combined equal 83% of the total public safety budget, which is $1.1 billion. These departments account for 38% of the City’s total General Fund. 

 Public Safety Realignment State Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109) amends current law to realign certain responsibilities for lower level offenders, adult parolees and juvenile offenders from the State to local jurisdictions. The proposed change will have a significant impact on San Francisco’s criminal justice system, resulting in increased caseloads for the City’s public safety departments as well as the public health and social service agencies. The plan proposes allocating resources directly to the county responsible; however, funding levels are uncertain at this time and are currently under discussion through the State budget process. The proposed budget includes increased funding at the Adult Probation and Sheriff’s Department to respond to increased demand for services as a result of this proposal.  Department Highlights 

Police Department – The Police Department’s proposed budget is $460.3 million or 3% higher than the current year. The Police Department met its 10% target reduction of $11.3 million, significantly offsetting the growth in benefit and pension costs. The largest source of savings was eliminating its three academy classes originally planned for the budget year. The department will not backfill its expected 100 retirements in the budget year. The department is still benefiting from the federal stimulus Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) hiring grant which funds 50 officers for three years. Other savings in the Police budget include a reduction to management staffing, salary savings from holding positions vacant, and increased revenues. The budget also assumes $10.4 million in General Fund savings from avoided wage increases which must be agreed to by the impacted employee organizations. 

Fire Department – The Fire Department’s proposed budget is $302.1 million or 4% higher than the current year. The Fire Department successfully met its 10% target reduction of $5.3 million, largely through continuing to keep Engine 35 out of service as renovations of the station continue and improved expectations regarding ambulance revenues. The budget assumes no new fire academies during FY 2011‐12, and the department will use overtime to fill its required staffing levels (at lower cost than if it were to hire additional employees). The department did start a class for new firefighters in May 2010, its first class in five years. The budget also assumes $8.9 million in General Fund savings from avoided wage increases which must be agreed to by the impacted employee organizations.

Public Safety Page 2 of 2  Sheriff – The Sheriff Department’s proposed budget is $16.7 million or 11% higher than the current year. This increase is due to higher employee benefit costs, the loss of one‐time savings from refinancing debt service, and a projected significant growth in the jail population as a result of state changes, including the passage of AB 109 as well as California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) efforts to reduce the State prison population as a result of legal action. Additionally, the Mayor’s budget proposes to use a contracted security provider rather than Sheriff staff provide security at Department of Public Health facilities.  As a result, sworn staff will return to other assignments within the Sheriff’s Department, including staffing the re‐opening of two housing units at County Jail 6. 

District Attorney – The District Attorney’s proposed budget is $1.5 million, or 4% higher than the current year. New funding is included for 1) the Neighborhood Prosecutor Program, a new community courts initiative; 2) temporary staffing to reduce the homicide case backlog; and 3) growing a new Brady, Appellate and Training division to address new and ongoing legal compliance issues and the resulting increased appellate and motion work.  

Public Defender – The Public Defender’s proposed budget is $0.8 million, or 3% higher than the current year. New funding is included for temporary staffing to manage the growing felony case review workload. In light of the passage of AB 109, the Public Defender is working with the Chief of the Adult Probation Department to reorganize policy, planning and service delivery for reentry programs in the City. 

Adult Probation Department – The Adult Probation Department’s budget is $2.3 million, or 18% higher than the current year. The increase is the result of significant State and Federal grant funds awarded to the department for the continued implementation of evidence based probation supervision practices, including COMPAS, an integrated case management and risk and needs assessment database. The Department is taking a leadership role in managing the Justice Reinvestment project, the goal of which is to develop a comprehensive community corrections model.

Increasing Employment Opportunities in San Francisco FY 2011-12 Mayor’s Proposed Budget

The Mayor is committed to fostering better economic opportunities for all residents in San Francisco. Despite

budgetary challenges, investment in San Francisco jobs is critical to jumpstarting the local economy and giving

working families the tools and training they need to be successful in the workforce.

Local Hire and CityBuild

The Mayor’s budget supports the successful implementation of San Francisco’s new Local Hiring Ordinance,

ensuring investment in jobs for San Franciscans, now and for the future.

• Local hire will not only boost our local economy and get San Francisco families back to work, but it will

mean public dollars are reinvested into San Francisco’s economy.

• The implementation plan focuses on using existing city resources and infrastructure to not only

implement the new policy, but to streamline future contracting procedures, including taking advantage

of technology to automate processes that used to be paper-driven.

• The Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) will reach out to contractors to make sure

they understand and are able to comply with the new requirements. The budget includes four new staff

to manage the Local Hire Program, three of which are funded through outside recoveries.

The Mayor wants to make sure that we continue to invest in San Francisco jobs and do what we can to get

qualified San Francisco residents the opportunity to work building their own communities.

• For the Local Hire policy to succeed, there must continue to be a skilled local workforce ready to work

for contractors aiming to meet the new requirements.

• The Mayor’s budget maintains full funding for OEWD’s CityBuild Academy, the City’s primary feeder into

the building trades, ensuring that residents are trained in the various construction trades and crafts.

Bold Departmental Initiatives to Hire and Train Low Income City Residents

In 2009 and 2010, the Human Service Agency (HSA) received federal stimulus funding for the creation of Jobs

Now!, a hugely successful program for low-income San Francisco families. While funds that supported Jobs

Now! are no longer available, the City is continuing similar programs:

• HSA – JobsNow!2: In Fiscal Year 2011-12, HSA will continue the Jobs Now! program with $8.0M of

existing program funding, which will be used to employ 1,225 participants.

• Department of Public Works (DPW) – The Community Corridors Program: The Community Corridors

Program will employ 25 residents and provide them intensive training and work. The program involves

work on street cleaning, graffiti abatement, illegal dumping pick-up, and also potentially building

construction, cement work, landscaping, and road repair.

• Department of the Environment (DOE) – Environment Now: The Environment Now education and

outreach program includes jobs and training for 21 employees responsible for outreach and educating

SF citizens about diverting waste from our landfill and water systems.

• Recreation and Park Department (RPD) – Gardener Apprenticeship Program: RPD is firmly committed

to maintaining its parks in excellent condition. To help achieve this goal, the Department is increasing its

gardener apprenticeship program from 10 to 15 positions.

Capital and Infrastructure Investments

The FY 2011-12 capital budget proposes $308 million in total capital investments, including $83 million for

General Fund departments and $225 million for Enterprise departments. Combined, these capital investments

will support over 2,100 jobs during the life of the projects.

Page 13: Highlights of Proposed Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Budget

Capital and Infrastructure Investments FY 2011-12 Mayor’s Proposed Budget

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2011-12, the City’s capital budget prioritizes critical infrastructure and life-safety projects, as

well as projects that will create jobs for San Francisco residents and generate economic activity to help lift the

City out of the lingering economic downturn.

Capital Budget Overview

The capital budget proposes $308 million in total capital investments, including $83 million for General Fund

departments and $225 million for Enterprise departments.

• Combined, these capital investments will support over 2,100 jobs during the life of the projects.

• The proposed General Fund pay-as-you-go investments in the FY 2011–12 capital budget total

approximately $43 million. This is nearly double the $22 million in General Fund sources invested in FY

2010-11.

• Additional non-General Fund sources, including the Open Space Fund, Federal and State grants, Public

Utilities Commission funding for energy efficiency projects, and other sources bring the total for capital

investments in General Fund departments to approximately $83 million.

General Fund Departments Capital Projects

Major General Fund department projects proposed in the capital budget include:

• Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan: The budget proposes over $10 million in projects

for facilities, streets, and sidewalks to improve access for people with disabilities.

• Justice Facilities Improvement Program: The proposed budget includes $13.2 million in funding for

planning and design for relocating the Medical Examiner, SFPD Forensic Sciences Division, and County

Jails 3 and 4 out of the Hall of Justice. Replacing the Hall of Justice is a top priority of the City’s Ten-Year

Capital Plan.

• Facility Renewal: The budget funds $6 million in facility renewal projects, including $3 million to replace

elevators at San Francisco General Hospital and $500,000 for repairs at the Bayview Opera House.

Enterprise Department Capital Projects

Major Enterprise department projects proposed in the capital budget include:

• Airport: The Airport plans to spend $154.9 million over five years in Federal grant monies for the

Runway Safety Area Project. Construction on this project will begin in FY 2011-12. This project is the

result of a Congressional Mandate; completion is required by December 31, 2015.

• PUC: The PUC plans to spend $23.0 million in FY 2011-12 and $34.3 million in FY 2012-13 on the

renewal and replacement of the outdated sewer system.

• Port: The Port plans to spend $4.6 million in pier structure repairs along the waterfront in FY 2011-12,

and $1.5 million in FY 2012-13 to support the America’s Cup.

Road Repair and Street Safety Bond

In May of 2011, the Mayor introduced a proposed $248 million Road Repaving and Street Safety bond to go

before the voters in the November 2011 election as recommended in the City’s Ten-Year Capital Plan. If voters

approve this bond, the City will be able to invest an additional $53 million in FY 2011-12 to repave streets and

improve the safety of the public right-of-way. The bond will help address the backlog of street repairs, which

grow more costly overtime, and is part of a multi-year plan to improve the quality of the pavement condition

citywide.

Technology Planning & Investments FY 2011‐12 Mayor’s Proposed Budget  Overview City leaders have recognized the potential for financial and operational efficiencies by improving citywide coordination of information and communications technology (ICT) investments. As a result, the City’s Committee on Information Technology (COIT) is actively engaged in a more strategic approach to ICT operations and projects that includes the consolidation, standardization and simplification of systems and applications. These criteria are reflected in COIT’s five year ICT Plan, ongoing efforts to coordinate functions across departments and in projects funded in the Mayor’s Fiscal Year 2011‐12 Budget. The benefits of this approach are realized in the Mayor’s Budget with $2.3 million in savings, including $600,000 in salary savings, $400,000 in equipment and in $1.3 million in contracts and projects passed through the Department of Technology.  

Long‐term Planning COIT recently approved the City’s first five‐year ICT Plan, which will soon be introduced to the Board of Supervisors for final approval, as required by the San Francisco Administrative Code.  The Plan has a vision of providing secure, innovative and accessible systems anytime and anywhere. However, this vision requires a sound foundation of safe, secure and accessible networks and systems in the face of ongoing budget shortfalls and aging ICT systems. Through consolidation, standardization and simplification of ICT systems, as well as recognizing the need to prioritize investments and deferring projects, the plan establishes an approach to help the City meet its goals within a budget that it can afford.  

Inter‐departmental Coordination The ICT Plan establishes 10 foundational initiatives that will help the City achieve a greater level of efficiency and better serve residents. Five of these initiatives require interdepartmental coordination that COIT members are actively pursuing with the goal of achieving savings in the coming fiscal years. 

1. Enterprise Applications and Agreements – The City will coordinate procurement of common systems and licenses across all departments to leverage the greatest purchasing power possible.  

2. Data Center Consolidation and Virtualization – The Department of Technology will lead a coordinated effort to virtualize servers and consolidate facilities. Over the next five years, this project will achieve $5.5 million in savings due to reduced equipment, facilities and staffing costs. 

3. Voice over Internet Protocol and Land Line Reductions – The Department of Technology and Public Utilities Commission are working together to determine a citywide plan to coordinate and standardize investments. 

4. Consolidation of Staff in Shared Buildings – With the Human Services Agency and Department of Building Inspection serving as a success story, departments in common areas will consolidate support staff. 

5. Consolidation of Reproduction and Mail Functions – The Department of Administrative Services’ Reprographics and Mail Division will work with other departments containing similar functions to determine how facilities and services can be consolidated.  

Fiscal Year 2011‐12 Annual Projects As part of the budget submission process, departments proposed projects to COIT that were then referred to the Mayor’s Office for final approval in the proposed budget.  For Fiscal Year 2011‐12, COIT ensured that projects were consistent with the ICT Plan’s strategies of consolidation, standardization, and simplification. For example, due to the availability of citywide solutions, including data center consolidation, VoIP and the PC lease program, $1.1 million of projects were rejected. Of the projects approved, $32.1 million are funded with non‐General Fund resources and, as detailed on the following page, $10.3 million are funded by the General Fund.
