appropriate for development. as mission bay billed out, that is the next section of the city that will build out. we're imagining up to 2 million square feet of commercial space developed. there will be 6000 to 8000 new jobs on a permanent basis. i do not have a figure in my head on the number of construction jobs. we will have several years between now and when the city enters the final contract for development of pier 72 think about how to best applied the local hiring guidelines we want to impose on that project. we know how to do the construction side of it. how do we want to approach local hiring with respect to the development itself? there will be different components. there will be retail component. there will be in office

component. that will be on the waterfront site in all likelihood. we do not know what those jobs will be like until we have a major tenant online. we are interested and understand the board's focus on local hiring. the commission would be more than happy to work to develop guidelines that would apply the principles in the local hire our legislation to the public- private partnerships. i will stop there and see if there are any follow-up questions. we are are eager to work with you on this. supervisor avalos: i appreciate the sort of high- level response. do you want to speak to the america's cup? >> the america's cup project, the city entered the agreement on december 31. we are in the process of conducting analysis pursuant to

the california environmental quality act. that will not be a project until we have completed seqa and got the other permits. . two ways to think about employment with respect to the america's cup. it will generate much money in economic activity. the planned timeline is 2013 for races. projections are that of $1.4 billion in economic activity will yield many new jobs regionally. that is an awful lot of jobs in the short amount of time. a lot of that as private sector activity. the city will not have a contractual or similar hook to try to control health local hire it fits into that purely private

sector activity. there is a lot of activity planned on the port property either in the form of construction activity and through the new leases. the america's cup authority will be leasing 8 piers and two acres for hosting the event. we would be looking to the new lease agreements that will come to the board of supervisors as a means of meeting some of these first source requirements. the venue also includes a local hire plan. we will be working with oewd to figure out how to give more definition to the job opportunities for people. thank you. supervisor avalos: i know we will have a more involved during

in the budget committee in a couple of weeks on the america's cup. thank you. anybody else from the city family? if not, and will open it up to public comments. julianno, sorry. state your name. >> julian gross, a resident or in your district, a supervisor. -- a in a resident of your district. i wanted to very quickly give a little national context. it is in my opinion the most thorough, sophisticated, strongest local-hire ordinance

anywhere in the country, and that is a product of a lot of hard work. the country is littered with local-hire ordinances that are not complied with. i think the subject of this hearing, supervisor mirkarimi, is looking at other opportunities the city has to advance the goals that have had so much momentum or interest within the city and are so important in these economic times. governing construction, governing dollars, governing private projects that it has influence over. i hope that with the amount of effort that was put into the local-hire issue last fall, it is not suffering from fatigue. there is the public works

ordinance. i know everyone is going to be working very hard and looking at how that works out, and it is a complex ordinance, but i feel about the policy advances that were made in that ordinance will be able to apply that where the city has control over construction much easier, much less contentious. is think we can build on the work that was done, and it is not as fatiguing, if you will. every month that we wait before looking at opportunities to maximize local hire, those are missed opportunities, mr. jobs, for local residents, so i thank you for having this hearing -- misseed jobs, for local residents.

this is kind of a no-brainer. there are great advances made in the construction side, and there is a lot of opportunity for policy development, as well. [bell] construction and permanent jobs. when people think of local hire, they always think of construction jobs. supervisor mirkarimi: let me ask you, so you can make that last point, beyond the question of construction jobs. intrinsic, they are not permanent? >> yes, i think that is correct.

there have been a lot of agreements that have been negotiated from the stakeholders around very large development projects, and these contain targeted job policies, a hiring policies, that cover a wide ranging opportunities. -- job policies, hiring policies, that cover a wide range of opportunities. these are similar to what was being described, but i think there is a wide range of types of employers and types of contractual arrangements with their opportunities to look beyond just construction jobs. i have also looked into the green jobs effort, and that is a very rapidly developing policy field. it is kind of expanding its construction.

the last thing i wanted to make that comes into effect in all of these areas, there is a wide range of issues related to federal funding, state funding, relationships between some, like a redevelopment agency versus a city government, and i just wanted to urge u.s. policy makers to take the view that whenever the context is for it to a policy you want to advance, there is always a way. there is always a way to work koran or adapt the policy so you have flexibility to target jobs and provide opportunities for the residents in san francisco, so thanks for your interest. to work around or death the policy. supervisor -- to work around or adapt the policy. supervisor mirkarimi: 80. >> supervisor mirkarimi,

apologize for being late -- thank you. >> supervisor mirkarimi, i apologize for being late. i am sorry i missed your statement. i am sure it was a good one. there is a couple of things. we were like a lot on the -- we rely a lot on the private sector for where our revenue comes from. wanting to implement the local hiring with a city subsidy, our office would like to see, and i strongly suggest, that the prevailing wage applied to this. i think it is very, very important. that raises the standard, because, obviously, we do have the training, and that is what it is all about. that is a very, very important. i wanted to make that point, and

i think for that matter, straight across, it is the prevailing wage. like i said earlier, i think this can work, working together, and that is what it is all about. local 22. it is about one thing, putting people to work. that is what it is all about. let's get going. let's get moving. yeah, whatever it takes. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. >> the bright light defense project. i want to thank you, supervisor mirkarimi, for calling this hearing, and as somebody who worked with supervisor avalos and others, a want to say i

think you have correctly identified what is being called the mandatory aspect of this approach, which is measuring outcomes, not efforts, so i think it is important that we talk about the centralization legislation that supervisor mirkarimi has authored a few years ago to bring these in. it is appropriate to continue exactly what has been highlighted today, which is new opportunities. there are other types of non construction areas, which i think is important. one thing to note, falling on the heels of mr. flores, out to

contractors comply with the new law -- following on the heels. it is to work with your local trade unions. your local unions are the best partner that contractors can have to get workers to work. there is a rate of recidivism, and i think this is very important, what supervisor mirkarimi is trying to do. we can protect workers on these non construction, anything

construction, whether it is arguably a city subsidy, let's make sure we are doing that. and there is one thing i wanted to point at. to point out. this is going to put you on the spot, -- i wanted to point out. this is going to put you on the spot, brad, maybe we can get a clarification on that, but i knew there is going to be more legislation. there is momentum coming out of this hearing. let's go. let's expand upon this and go to the next level. supervisor cohen: this is just a point of clarification to go on record for the hearing. you talked about outcomes-based analysis, what are you going to use of the first year, second

year, third year whether a local hire is meeting its mark? >> i think it will begin to look for the leadership of supervisors like you, supervisor cohen, for what those metrics are going to be. supervisor cohen: is it there already? >> has already been written proof i look forward to finding out. -- has it already been written? i look forward to finding out. supervisor cohen: how to determine if we have been successful for the construction jobs? what is the metric? >> when we put people to work, i think that is the key. supervisor cohen: you talked about recidivism, keeping them employed, how many people get a job -- >> we want to create jobs. we want to create korea years,

and that is, i think, what people are so excited about -- we want to create careers. putting our communities back to work is what we are all excited about. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: anybody who would like to speak, just, after the others. >> walter. ♪ saving nickels, daving dimes looking for some good hiring time blue bayou they are coming back to the city one day, come what may, to blue bayou where the folks are fine, and eight earned the working time -- and they earn the working dime

and the fishing boats, with the america's cup sails afloat and how happy the work force will be ♪ supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. next speaker, please. >> a hard act to follow. i just wanted to say -- well, my name is -- i know this is a contentious topic, but i am a construction worker. i support it 100%. i think this is a very sustainable conversation. i think supervisor mirkarimi for expanding the conversation -- i thank supervisor mirkarimi. giving san franciscans an

opportunity to work, and so, i am just hoping that although there is contention, and people are, you know, fighting to have a job at this point, i hope that these conversations continue so that an electrician let myself can get back to work very soon, and my other brothers and sisters who are san francisco residents can have an opportunity to build up the port and all of these other projects that are going on, so i just wanted to thank you for that. supervisor mirkarimi: any other public comment? this is the time. madam chair, i think public comment is closed. supervisor cohen: ok, public comment is closed. a move to adjourn. supervisor mirkarimi: i think he

would move to file that. that is how to conclude this particular hearing, and and thank you, colleagues, and thank you very much. >> good morning, everybody. i thank you for attending this, i wanted to share with you what
