the legislation i am submitting today is a product of the task force efforts. it includes changes to the current law as follows. the proposal would require distributors to attach handbills in a manner that does not prevent them from being blown away by the wind. it makes them more attractive for silage. and it replaces the credible -- porcine age. and it replaces the criminal -- signage. and it replaces the criminal. supervisor mirkarimi: i am introducing an amendment to my resolution supporting the recommendation of the peak oil taskforce. is a time when maximum global production is reached and it

begins to decline regardless of the man or price. san francisco is the largest city to formally consider the consequences, but many other u.s. cities are starting to entertain the concept. the concept is often viewed as a sort of surreal, science fiction, mad max type of vision for the future. we just noticed with the failure of the cancun climate change conference, and there is little that is being done on the kind of level that the man did. about green has -- greenhouse gas emissions, evereducing our

reliance on oil as it comes to fight supplies. we believe is prudent -- such as the countywide transportation plan, the economic development plan, also the department of management. unhearthis friday, i will be hoa party in the theme will be peak oil. i am also submitting an im memorian -- in memoriam. they were born and raised in the

western addition. she loved her family and live with her mother -- lived with her mother denise. she worked as a grocery bagger. she planned to enroll at the job corps in january. she is remembered by her loving mother and father. i was dispatched when homicides occurred. it happens to be one of the many dozens. we have such an important to respite - -a- an important respite. it broke a trend which we are really sad about it.

it really should never be repeated. next, following up on the drug disposal ordinance, it requires pharmacies to post notices alerting their customers of locations where they can dispose of expired drugs. in the pilot we are trying to broker with the administration and the pharmaceutical industry, both safeway and walgreen's, four pharmaceuticals are not playing ball with us. i believe that a law that will compel notification of where we do set up a receptacle program is something that we will insist upon. >> supervisor elsbernd. supervisor campos. supervisor avalos.

supervisor avalos: i have one item, and resolution. i have been a longtime supporter, they have been hit very hard by the current recession. the radio station provides a lot of perspective. there was the layoff of a couple of key announcers. the union and listeners to come together -- it is critical because it provides a voice that

needs to be strong and stable. supervisor campos is indicating that. it is my item for introduction. supervisor alioto-pier: think you very much, madame clerk. the first is for richard goldman. he is survived by his three children. he was 90 years old. he was in grass-roots

environmental activists. richard and his wife gave hundreds of millions of dollars in support of a variety of charitable causes in the bay area. richard was born on april 16, 1920 in san francisco. he attended uc berkeley. uc-berkelein 1949, he found a gd insurance services and never hesitated to step in and solve the problem. he will be missed by many. in particular, his

aware of it. commissioner sugaya said the following. "i am supportive, but i was waiting for my brown paper envelope, but i never got anything. i might just vote against it." this sort of statement erodes confidence in our government. because the public might think that they need to pay off commissioners. as an italian-american, it sticks because it is one of the stereotypes our community has worked so hard to reverse. back in the 70's when my grandfather was mayor of san francisco, a magazine had accused him of being a member of the mafia. the federal government indicted him. they had no proof. it is the first and only time in the united states where an elected official has sued on

grounds of slander and won. we took it seriously enough that we as a country condemned at. i am putting this resolution forward so we can respond to the call for fairness, dignity, and respect during our commission hearing. i think this is too important to just ignore. i would certainly appreciate your comments, particularly for this commissioner. even in jest, we cannot make comments of this type. >> supervisor dufty. supervisor dufty: i would like to outline three in memoriams. on behalf of myself and

i come from the family of a union member. i have worked in programs serving young people that are looking for employment experience. the earliest experience was that a conservation corps in san francisco. i got a job back in january of 1993 working with many people from different parts of san francisco with high unemployment rates. young people from the western addition, hot young people that have felt they did not have quite a ramp into the construction industry. after i left, the conservation corps that i worked with and the other pieces of advocacy i was working on was legislation working on our contracting.

and how contractors can provide opportunities for young people to get employment. year after year, concern about employment, unemployment across san francisco. we know that today, the unemployment rate is hovering at close to 10%. it is much, much higher. people that don't have the opportunity on the streets and what the result of that is. we need a new deal in san francisco. during the depression, we saw how they were able to put many people back to work the about $27 billion will be pumped into our public infrastructure and building new

subway systems, new salons, new source system, all of this is work that will get done in san francisco and our tax dollars will go to those projects. we know that jobs will be inevitable. it want to make sure that as we are building these jobs, we can have the highest level of participation of san francisco residents in this project. it is our tax dollars going to plan these projects. when we spend the money, though local economy, that has a benefit for the neighborhood.

we have local businesses, our businesses. the contractors and our work force to be able to taken advantage of for the years to come. we have a lot of input from the building trade, contractors, developers big and small.

this is beyond any one particular office. in town i have heard that as saying citywide complaints. we have traded the momentum for this historic legislation. i would like to think my colleagues for getting this conversation started.

i would like to think the carpenters' union. -- i would like to thank the mayor's office, ed harrington, the carpenters in hand.

we would like to it think the chinese for affirmative action. the san francisco labor council as well as some of the community partners that have been instrumental.

the south these jobs coalition, the community development corporation. young community developers. inner-city youth, the progressive workers alliance, the filipino community is center, the naacp, the sierra club, roberts and replies, the san francisco green party. thank you for your support. the main thing that this ordinance will do is to establish mandatory construction, create a pipeline for local residences and paves the way for delivering all on our longstanding goal.

the escalation in trade does not exist. $27 million in local investments will remain ill local community. -- will remain in local community. there are none substantive amendments.

there are a few technical amendments suggested of the department and the status of women and contractors. i would like to thank you for your effort, your support in making this happen and if i could supervise -- if the attorney could summarize some of the main
