To support departments projected increase and over time required by code 3 opinion 17 and mr. President had has an 8 vote threshold. Supervisor preston thank you, president peskin i dont have an issue with the under lying expense here remember a question when the police requests were before us. Am im concerned see similar here with d ph that is noncompliance with the administrative code section 3. 17b. Requires that any department that is propose to spend more on over time. Than the amount that is appropriated for that first obtain an appropriation ordinance for this purpose. Here we are looking at as of the from budget status report. 6 mont status report d. Public health deceded has over time budget. As of december 31st. 2022 the supplemental was introduced march 7 of 23. Will interested to hear from d ph and or the controller about why this is happening the other departments over spent by march a couple weeks after introduction. May be they have come sooner. Issue was raised by pd and here with d ph appears to be like nothing close to compliance with the Code Provisions and i want to under score like there is a reason for that provision and because we may be fine with the deappropriation and reappropriation and over time. We are not in a position where we have a choice and noose not how the charter is structured. Supposed to be brought before when you say we have a time to weigh in on these things. So mr. President interested to hear from d ph or the controller with an explanation on the d ph one. Your point is very well taken. Start with the control and a representative from the department of Public Health available remote or in the chambers we will proceed. Mr. Controller. To your question. We talked about earlier on the police item our office has a limited ability to control salary spending once authorized. We try to keep the mayor and the board of supervisors aware of trendses with coordinating respecting. You are correct to note in this cycle a couple of departments xeez the budget for the full fiscal year. Police and Public Health. We talked about this with the Controllers Office about who provide earlier notification tell be choice to bring forward supplements. We can provide earlier notice. Next year at the First Quarter mark. Not a period we issue budget status reports. We issue in a notice the mayor and board should we detect over time in any department at a level exceeded by the time of our 6 month report. Offer those comments in general Public Health can speak to that. Supervisor preston, follow occupy that . I want to emphasize that happening earlier. I dont see yet budget chair, board president. These like to get to the points where were already fully over spending the years budget. The both of the department and the controlary office has known for months were head in the that direction and there has to be a striger early in the process to get this before the board i share your concern and appreciate your point of chair chan . Thank you, president peskin. I think during the first of all, the budget and legislative Analyst Report has done a report on this. Some of the city departments you look at the Department Emergency. Lists the department with the exception of rec and park. Theyre all mostly because of the storm. And they and the december and also throughout the first few months of the year that the over time accrued is the explanation of the city d. I think that if there are not because these types of emergency that add to the over time spending. I agree and concur with supervisor prestons assessments how do we can have these information earlier rather than later. Especially not during the like late couple months before the budget i want to flag for colleagues and everyone should then and there, in the supplemental it is different from the police is the Police Supplemental was dipping in the way they were paying for the supplemental from the general reserve this is from the staff hiring cost saving plus the Ambulance Service revenue able to pay the 66 Million Dollars. I want to flag for when i talk about the rec and Park Department as an exception on this one, is really out of that a little less then and there a Million Dollars over time spending. Againful majority garner and staff tree down during the storm time and reason why they came late in the game so to speak to talk about over time spending or asking for the over time spends to be allocated for them. Out of which 1 upon 37 thousand dollars is for park ranger for special events like 420 that require the additional staffing for the events i have asked all the city departments to anticipate, for example, you know natural disaster. While fair is emnanlt and how do we prepare for staffing responding disaster unplanned for in our staffing time i think they hrdz usllow and clear with director dooning from the budget and office. Of the Mayors Office. And i think they will evaluate that in upcoming budget. And the same for the ask that went to sxrek park asking about park rangers and the special per mitt event to participate over time for park rangers. I hope that helped but i think that the budget and legislative analyst is here to able to answer the questions, too, in terms of what this spending over time spending is being spend on. Thank you. Thank you. Why donts we go to department of Public Health. Throughout chair. Chief Financial Officer for d ph. Im just joining dont [inaudible] restating the question [echo]. Thank you. The question is given that d ph have already spent its full over time budget for the year, by the end of december. Why this there was no supplemental introduced before we reachd that point and not until march this was introduced . When the charter requires advanced President Trump if you exceed over time budget. Supervisor, trendses were not clear to us as we moved forward. By the time we working with the mayor and Controllers Office during our regular schedule to work with not go through the city process, it was to the point where our trendses exceeded our budget time. We will make to e view this to the supplemental if necessary. Supervisor preston. May be the controller like how is this supposed to work . What point when they hit what percent of over time budget are they supposed to seek your council or come before the board . I mean. Supervisors. In typical years the way i expect this to help we issue budgetary reports to the mayor and booshd projecting how departments are looking as a whole and pacific low on over time. In normal cycles our first report is at the 6 mont or halfway through the fiscal year and another at 9 months. My expectation would be that if we sought over spending at the 6 month mark that would be followed by a supplemental that would move forward. I note that neither our office nor departments have the appropriations only a mayor or board member. A mayor or board is required act had they see this over spending. You are right at least for me the unusual thing is the 6 month report we use as a trigger, was too late this year. Because of the level over spending on over time in Public Health and police. We walked about creating an earlier notice to the mayor and the board. The First Quarter mark i would hope that no department valid over spent. The fiscal year will be adequate and provide notice in the mayor and the board to act on these things before departments are secret row active approvals. Thank you. Look forward to getting clarity on how that will work and i think we should have a commitment from departments to come forward and not dom i cant believe i say it. A violation of the charter. A reason it is written a certain way you will over shoot your over time. You seek a supplemental and approval of the board. The Budget Committee did their job and locked at expensesace budget chair chan said. I share the view they do look like i dont see the legitimate expenses. Nor should this be in a position the charter is violate exclude asked months whether to approve temperature you will approve people have been paid. And my understanding is that the controller they are legally required pay it if folk authorized to dot work. A mockery of the process to come to the board latest. Im looking forward to the changes and think we gotta change the culture in the departments. Does not make sense you know you are on track whether you are a d ph, sfpd the 2 worse. You know you are on track to exceed over time before it gets to this point. Follow the charter provisions and file your is up elemental. Simple. Thank you. Thank you.
