Where a City department provides public Internet access terminals and loses, or is at substantial risk of losing, Federal or State government funding or subsidies ("Funding") as a result of compliance with the prohibition on use of filtering software under this Chapter, the department head, or his or her designee, shall notify the Board of Supervisors and the Controller, in writing, of the department's estimated loss of Funding within 90 days of discovery of this potential or actual loss of Funding for the applicable fiscal year. In such notice, the department head, or his or her designee, shall also indicate the extent to which such loss of revenue may cause a negative impact on the quality, quantity or availability of the department's services or operations. Where a department establishes that such loss of Funding will cause the department to substantially reduce the quality, quantity or availability of its services or operations, the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor shall treat such information as a significant factor in favor of granting the department a funding appropriation in an amount equal to the estimated loss of Funding during the applicable fiscal year.
