community. it is the only market that is publicly owned and operated. even though it is successful, there is much room for improvement. the market is in need of facilities, management, and better compliance with city and state regulation. at the end of the day, i think we can be proud to have the best farmers market possible. i look forward to the conversation later this month. i would also like to and today's meeting in memory of gladys jones jupert, who passed away on october 15. she moved to san francisco and worked at the general hospital as head nurse for over 16 years. she was active in the emergency

[applause]

i am asking of the city and county to adopt a goal of trips to be by bicycle by the year 2020. the mayor set a goal for the city of 10% of all trips by bicycle to be done by the year 2010. the last time that we were able to track where we were, we were at 6%. it is likely that we are between 7% and 8%. we are at a crossroads. our biking junction -- bike injuction was recently lifted. we know what we will be doing to move forward this vision. there are decisions we will have to make to see some long-term goals. i understand that a 20% goal will be a stretch, but it is something that has been accomplished in a number of cities in europe.

there are a number of cities that are in front of us at this time. there are numerous codes that we will have to move this and the right direction. from a transit standpoint, from a health standpoint, from an environmental standpoint, for cost effectiveness providing urban transportation in the perspective of being able to increase traffic to themerch -- to the merchant corridors, in 2020, we will be in a place where our bicycles and pedestrians will be co existing with car drivers and public transit. i want to thank supervisors maxwell, dufty, and mirkarimi. supervisor mar: thank you.

i am introducing a resolution to reinstate funding for stage three child care. the resolution is in response to the draconian cut by the governor that gutted child welfare and impacted many low- income families. due to his recent draconian cuts, over 1000 families in san francisco and 81,000 families statewide will lose their child- care. thousands of family will lose their child care on november 1 with no opportunity to appeal. it will cost san francisco millions in lost jobs and investment. the governor has $256 million that has not been put back into the rainy day fund. it is still available under a rock -- prop 98.

we urge the governor to reinstate the funding and address the needs of low-income working families both in san francisco and threw out the state. t --hroughout the state. some of you might have seen a ghost bicycle between the kaiser french hospital campus. the bis der toek, -- the bicycle belonged to derek. the accident occurred on october 7. he was on his way to get dim sum n for his family. he loved to skateboard, spent time with his dog, and his art. he graduated in 2006 from the

visual arts academy where his amazing artistic talent became obvious. a memorial fund has been set up in his name to benefit the high school program. he is survived by his mom and his father. is an -- his uaaunt wroette an article, a great source for transit issues. since he was broke, he made us hand-drawn carts with deep thoughts that only a 22-year- old can have. christmas will never be the same for our family without you, dear. -- derek. supervisor avalos: i will be

joining supervisor dufty in adjourning in memoriam of pauline. her daughter and her grandson are with us in the board chambers today. i have gotten to know them both over the last couple of years and i admire their contributions to san francisco. i know that your heart for the city ultimately comes from your grandmother and your mother. i know that it is hard, what you're facing. but we had hoped for lasting memories. colleagues, i am proud to announce introduction today of the san francisco local hiring construction ordinance. this is legislation that my office has been working on for the past year or year and a

half. we have been looking at the issue of local hiring and finding mandatory levels that we can establish in san francisco. specifically, supervisor maxwell and ross mirkarimi. i do believe that i would love to have your support moving forward on this legislation. supervisor mirkarimi has already indicated his boss a share as well as-- sponsorship as well as supervisor campos. currently, we have the hiring program that is the lot of san francisco, we hire people locally for construction projects. the only requirement is that contractors are required to show a good-faith effort to meeting a

50% local hiring kolkhoz -- goal. the new requirement would be that we have a mandate to reach particular goals that we have phased in over the years to 50% as it is currently written. i do want to hold out that this is the starting point. this is a very complex piece of legislation that is going to take a lot of dialogue, a lot of conversation to move forward through the committee process. in terms of the stakeholders, there are contractors, community members, and a city on how we build our pipeline of workers. these different stakeholders -- i want to make sure that everyone knows that we have the dialogue that continues.

we have a really robust dialogue to get to this point in production today. a san francisco foundation has convened all of these stakeholders together over the summer to make sure that we had, on the table, all of the concerns that they had as we were introducing. we took those conversations and we had those in mind when we crafted legislation. when it comes to making local investments for dublin -- for building public infrastructure, we have as much as we can at the local level. we know that in the next 10 years, over $25 billion plans to be invested. we will be creating jobs. how do we make sure that san

franciscans have the greatest benefit? the city currently, we have a hiring goal of 50%. we are only achieving about 20% if we look at the report from the economic work force development agency. we want to make sure that we are reaching a much higher goal. in the construction industry to build the public-works project, we know that when they go home and spend money, it is recycled into the economy and it goes back to local businesses, it is good to have a large benefit to san francisco. we also know that when san franciscans are working on projects that are causing

emissions from cars, it is reduced and it has a benefit to the environment as well. i want to thank the many people that helped work on this legislation. we would not have gotten anywhere without the help of the office of economic work force development. rhonda simmons, guillermo, and members of the administration. we also had a lot of members of the community to help us with support through advocacy, looking at the job market and the amount of hiring that currently occurs. i want to thank vincent pan from affirmative action, cpo's, helping us to get this

far. contractors, they came out today for our press conference. we have both local and small business enterprises that are supportive of this ordinance. we have had many conversations in crafting this ordinance with the labor unions, and there is still a lot of uncertainty how we will move forward. i am committed. i hope that you are also committed to make the best of this so that we can move forward to a real requirement for residents to get a shot at the drugs that will be created here -- at the jobs that will be created here. i want to thank the iintern -- my inerntern, and those that lid

and slept local hiring the last few months. thank you so much. ccolleagues, i expect this to be under the three-year rule, -- under the 30 day rule. midway through november, we can hear a lot of concerns that will be raised about legislation and how we might be able to build greater policy changes to find that sweet spot to get the support across the room and in room 200 as well. so -- they are separate matters.

i don't have any legislation relating to this, but it is important to a knowledge a warm welcome. -- acknowledge a warm welcome. we would not be here. they are fighting the phillies, so thank you so much, brooke. you are always welcome in san francisco in my buck.
