appreciate it. >> let me summarize briefly. the first is to change the mandatory participation levels and escalating to 50%. there's also a and minor amendment to provide at least 50% of the project work hours. the net change has to do with pipeline or retention compliance and this consolidates many of the procedures that are

in the ordinances. minting might use one of the compliance mechanisms to have an additional waiver. those include specialized trade and hiring on nine separate projects. there some minor changes. we are the telling an outreach strategy.

we are replacing the term, "liquidated changes," and there are several conforming changes. aachen we have added some clarification on what the contractors need to do. we have added a clarify existing -- we ratified a clarifying "pre-existing."

>> thank you for your work on this. two people i forgot to mention. today, we have members of the healing circle. this is a very meaningful legislation. i would like to think the members of the board for this. i also want to thank the comptroller.

we will be retaining those apprentices and striking out "of through the duration of the project." the idea is then you are in that project for that particular aspect of the project, not just for the project itself. one other small technical amendment is disadvantaged worker and the definition of that. a local resident to faces or has overcome one of the falling barriers of unemployment, median public assistance, lacking a ged or a diploma.

>> doing need any discussion on the amendment? without objection, the amendments are added. >> more than anything, we are moving away from the launch of the land in that people are required to show good faith efforts. i would urge your support.

doug banks >> thank-you -- >> thank you. it is important to underscore that in this city, whether with the best intentions, people have played a good game about local hiring but when the assessment has been measured about how effective local hiring is, this has come up incredibly thin. we have known that and we have been able to corroborate that by efforts by a number of us who had commissioned an audit and then that audit motivated legislation to perform how we spend workforce dollars. this legislation is a trend that

this nation must go. it is important that we insert incentives so that people who want to do business with the city here the fact that this is more than just about rhetoric ringing hollow and what we expect and local hiring outcomes and did better prove they are hiring our people. when i first came into office in 2005, had been involved in violence had been a horrible -- had been involved in violence and have been a horrible time. these good a job sites in redevelopment areas, and asked the four-man to show me a lot of

the people that actually work on that particular job site. i would correlate as it codes to see if they would come from -- to alig even at those times when the assumptions lead clear that these are local hiring. it is importuned -- bin laden this is important. this is tightening up what are mandatory laws look like. if the constitution as for giving to us, we should it

minister these kind of lost. we know that both of those commissions and covered by state law had projected a significant increase of population for san francisco. companion will not be a requirement an obligation to produce 100,000 units of housing over the next $20 -- over the next 20-25 years. we have to come up with 100,000 units of housing.

i want to say thank you. i am passionate about this subject. we want to put everyone to work in san francisco who wants to. >> thank you. >> thing, president shoe. -- thank you, president chiu. i wanted to congratulate john avalos for taking on this task. what we need is a new deal which will really bring those jobs to

our grass-roots community. we would like to spark a progressive workers alliance. i think the study is another spark highlighting the weaknesses in the existing law. in number of us were at this and said to flip the switch and turn on the project. it was an important project and a clean energy project.

law that john avalos the together will make sure that the hiring is local. this reduces greenhouse gases. i think that this will create a change and with different goals to mandates and reasonable ones that start at 20%.

thank you. >> we have several express his support or opposition to the speakers and i asked you to respect that rule. >> thank-you very much, mr. president. i think that the level of support it is strong. if you look back at the legislation that has been introduced and enacted the in the past year, this is one of the most significant past -- pieces of legislation because this does something that all of

us have been trying to do for quite some time. the question is as, what are we doing to create jobs locally. even though what a local government could do is very committed in terms of driving, a lot of that is driven at the macro level. her in the past, a lot of obstacles are in the way. we should have been very complicated legal structure and

do this in the way that i think the the senate very strong legal position should there be any challenge. at the end of the day, the proof is in the pudding. we want to make sure that this is implemented. to our labor partners, we will make sure that this is implemented. this is something that is when to benefit everyone. every district will see the

direct benefit. thank you, supervisor avalos. this is one of the most in need to get legislative accomplishments of this body. >> i would like to thank you for the leadership. we've talked with our comptroller and other organizations. we're looking upon where contractors could sell those goals.

secondarily, there is the -- as of labor pass per trade. i spoke with the general manager and did not feel that those would be changes that would be necessarily beneficial for specifically there are organizations that are supporting this legislation and they have done a good job and this -- is doing a good job and not be recognized as much. part of this legislation is a message, a mandate, and as a

real compelling priority for the supervisors. i made this clear in talking to some of the stakeholders that there are more people color on the board and there was two days ago. -- two years ago. there is a focus on individual utilization and a passion that. that we have seen -- there is an equipment that has

been assisted by every board of supervisors as culminating in this phase. at a certain point, because to a conversion and everything trying to come together. things did not go down. did you want to go to other cities and other communities and provide for meaningful opportunities. i don't feel if the job is done today. yet been willing to work with

city departments, there are also people in the city or grateful. no one will believe that we are doing a better job unless we create a tool or transparent process by which we can judge local hiring and the opportunities that have been done. the time has come to make this change and to put this city on record that things have to become different lead -- have to

be done differently. i feel as though there is a true commitment to make this a real successful local hire. >> well, thank you to the people who are out there. without you, this could not have been done. leadership comes from the top and at the bottom and you all have been there. thank you. >> think you for those people who figured out why they could do it, not why they could not. this is about creating and growing the middle class. this industry helps to do that. this industry closes the economic gap, that is why this is so important as you look

around, i need to think -- again. i would like to thank all of you for your support. i would like to think supervisor avalos for thinking of the mantel. thank you. >> before we go to the final speaker, out it is our understanding that these amendments are not substantive. >> this item was debated in committee. >> thank you, counsel. >> thank-you. i mentioned a lot of people who are wanted to thank with this

legislation. most of all, i would like to thank my legislative aide who worked this legislation tirelessly. we worked all of the relationships that we can which will make this work. she juggled all of that along with other things. thank you. >> why did you take a roll-call vote? >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> aye.

>> aye. >> no. >> aye. >> aye. >> no. >> this ordinance is passed on the first reading.
