. there were adjustments in section 409 of a planning codes, and if you remember back one year ago, -- in section 409 of the planning code. there was a summary of how many fees we have collected, how many in-kind improvements, so you get a global look at how our impact fee is working or is not working, as the case may become and as part of the report, we suggested there be an annual adjustment to correct for inflation. you may also recall, we did not have an automatic inflation adjustments, so many fees have grown stale and in some cases have fallen below the break that is actually appropriate for the service -- fallen below the rate.

to summarize, these changes make it clear that all adjustments for inflation must be implemented by january 1 of every year. two, that the infrastructure inflation adjustment itself must be published on november 1 each year by the capital planning committee, and also, which is not obvious in the language, that notice be given no later than december 1 every year prior to the january 1 of the adjustments taking place, so that is what all of these changes do. and then two other small technical things. we also asked that the mayor's office on housing also have their fee adjustments be published in the same report and done at the same time. you'll see some language affecting sections 413 and 450 of the planning code, -- 413 and

415. finally, there is some additional language related to the market opctav -- octavia. unfortunately, some things were removed, and they have been put back in place. finally, there are some uncodified sections that would allow something to occur in april this year because we missed the previous cycle. that is at the very end of the legislation, and we would also exempt any fees that have been recently done. there is a city-wide impact fees study done by -- as required by the impact act, and we will not require that that phoebe adjusted -- that that fee be

adjusted, but everything will be updated as one effort in the future, and that will give the land use committee and the planning commission eight view on the total development requirements so that you can make decisions more strategically. there is one requested change that i failed to mention. we need to add on page 18 of the packet, it has to do with the timing of the mayor's office on housing, publishing their proposed annual fee adjustments. if you go to line 5 of page 18 of the legislation, instead of singing commencing on january 1, 2012, -- instead of saying commencing on january 1, 2012, we would like to change that, and continue on that line, no later than november 1 -- excuse me, december 1 of each year.

so this is it a -- this is aligning things. the report must be circulated by december 1. there was a mistake in the way this was drafted. supervisor mar: so mr. yarne, can you repeat the page and line number again? >> yes, changing january 1, 2012, and then continuing on in the sentence, where it says january 1 of each year, december 1 of each year. supervisor mar: maybe pages are not aligning with my copy. >> i am sorry. ok, section 413.6, sub b, first line, sub b.

apologies. the print out must be different. supervisor mar: ok. >> are you able to find that? section 413.6. supervisor mar: and i think on my copy, it is page 17, but i have the dates, setting different dates for the deadlines. >> that is right. do we have corrected copies on file with the clerk? -- correct copies? we want to change it from january to december 1. changing it to december 1, 2011, and then the second change changes january to december. it currently says january 1. we would like to change it to december 1 of each year. supervisor mar: ok.

i think on my copy, it is page 17, 19, so there is. thank you. -- so there it is. any other comments, mr. yarne? >> no, and i am available for comments. i think the planning department has something. supervisor mar: thank you. miss rogers? >> ms. rogers, from the planning department. they heard this and recommended approval. without further modifications. supervisor mar: thank you. colleagues, are there questions? and thank you, mr. yarne for addressing the clean-up

language. is there anyone from the public who would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. so, colleagues, on the amendments, without objection? i have a motion on the item? supervisor wiener: i move forward with a positive recommendation. supervisor mar: madam clerk, anything else? clerk: no, mr. chairman. supervisor mar: thank you, everyone. meeting is adjourned.

ul, for that enlightening outlook. now, we are going to invite our mayor to the stage and also our managing editor, jim gardner, who is going to moderate a conversation with the mayor. first, we will hear from each of them. they will tell us about their priorities and their outlook and vision for the city, and jim has prepared a number of questions. after that, we will also ask if any of you would like to send up some questions for gin to ask the mayor. there are some little index cards at your table. throughout the presentation, you can write your question down, just hold your hand up high, and we will circulate through and grab those. just make sure we can see you,

and we will bring them up to jim. something about jim, one thing to know is that he writes the editorials that appear every week in our newspaper. we get a lot of kudos for his work on that, so pretty proud of him at that level. there's a lot of things on the business side, but that is the one you can count on him for every single week. since san francisco is the host city, mayor lee was gracious enough to allow mayor kwan to go first. well, zack, and welcome, merkel on -- mayor kwan. [applause] >> good morning, all. it is my pleasure to welcome you on behalf of the partners and lawyers at my firm.

we are in historic times. 34 years ago, i was privileged to help with the election and administration of the first african-american mayor of oakland. we continue to make history because today, i'm honored to introduce the first asian american woman as mayor of oakland, the first asian mayor of oakland, and the first asian- american woman elected as mayor of any major city in the united states. she and ed lee, the first asian american mayor of san francisco, make a rare and great hair. their selection indicates progress. slow progress, but progress nonetheless. our mayor is a woman of many firsts. she was the first asian-american woman elected to the open school board and the first to the oakland city council. but always first are the people that she serves.

a 32-year oakland resident, she has dedicated her life to making government work for people. her experience and inspiration came from the civil and human rights struggles of the 1960's, as did ed lee's, my own, and their number of people in this room. personal history is important. her history, determination to deal with the complex histories in the world give us a lot of hope for the struggles facing our city. her soft-spoken manner, her campaign style, her work ethic, her focus and ability to connect with everyday citizens, plus, her truly amazing energy. she is everywhere and always on, are what will enable her to leave oakland to solving the almost but not quite overwhelming economic, social, and planning issues that we face. i need to give you one warning about our mayor -- telling jean kwan that she cannot do

something just makes her work harder to prove you wrong. before she speaks, and i actually bring her to the podium, we will hear a very short clip that presents a side of oakland that you may not be aware of. >> i think what makes it special is something called the music genome project. 15 musicians have work force for almost 10 years. they listen to songs one by one and analyze them along with 400 musical after this. that is how we power pandora. pandora is a technology company on the cutting edge in terms of utilizing the lead, but the underlying technology has helped handbill divide humans. we have to focus a lot of our efforts and energy on the modernization part of pandora,

which is advertising. -- the modernization part of pandora. we have a website that draws users i am and causes them to click through and do all those things advertisers want. we also have invested heavily in our advertiser sales team. we have a lot of people who support the sales team to help put that forward. you can feel in oakland a real connection to the community. very diverse, very human, very interactive friendly place with a rich musical history. a good portion of our employees live in and around oakland. a lot of people get here by public transportation and walk and bike and so on. it is kind of a logical place for us to be, and i think we will be your for many years to come. >> it is my pleasure and honor to introduce you to our new energy efficient and trail blazing mayor of oakland, jean kwon. [applause] >> good morning.

the reason i wanted to show the pandora clip, the founders of pandora were even more specific. they basically said that should they try to move their company out of oakland, they would face a major rebellion on behalf of their employees. one of my famous -- themes of my administration has been to ask the nation and to ask oakland to take a fresh look at the city. oakland is clearly recently named by "forbes" teh fift -- the fifth coolest city in the country. i like that when the most. this friday, we will have part murmur. you will see to thousand or 3000 mostly young people on the streets of downtown oakland going to art galleries, listening to music, eating grilled cheese sandwiches from

our outdoor night market restaurant strip on 23rd. it is an interesting and amazing place. not the oakland you may see in the news or the oakland you may remember from your childhood and that a lot of ex-oaklanders may remember. oakland is the second most literate city in the nation, the city with the best weather -- sorry, sand francisco. -- sorry, san francisco. we are constantly being named as the most diverse city. that is, like, 129 languages spoken in our public schools. our latest group, the winner of our spelling contest is a young lady from nepal. oakland is a city that is constantly reinventing itself, whether it be in the end of the

transcontinental railroad with dozens of hundreds of different kinds of european immigrants across the country, or the home to the borders that gave birth to a jazz movement, or today, as the most affordable place for new immigrants coming to the bay area to live. each of them leave a mark. one thing that i would say, when you come to oakland, is that of lenders -- is that oaklanders are pretty passionate about our city. i was teasing ed that he and i have probably made more public appearances together then my husband and i have in the last couple of months. i can assure you that we work really closely together, which resolves a couple of major longstanding issues. what we may not have in height

over the last two mayors, we certainly have in sight, and we have a tradition -- we certainly have in fight, and we have a tradition of fighting together. [applause] there are a couple of things happening in oakland that you may not have paid attention to, but in the in, asking you to invest in oakland in a different way. yes, i do what your dollars, it is no secret that oakland is the port city in the bay area.

our report is pretty much back to pre recession levels and terms of imports, exports. we export about as much as we import. i had a stake in -- which is an organic meat producer based in oakland. this represents some of the changing american habits. this is very interesting, i have

some relatives in china. they are worried about pollution and you have this growing market for california organic foods. that is amazing. i take bart all the time. in the global world, i would bet you that we are on more national papers in china then we were in the u.s.. i caught my first

congratulations. i got my first e-mail with an hour from a cousin of mine who is living in shanghai. this is a global economy. then we will be hosting a conference for the region to talk about how we can improve our import and export markets and this is a part of the future. we talked about hospitals being built in san francisco. we are taking over -- we are

catching up on the retail and oakland has been underserved. there is a lot of complicated reasons for that. we are going to be giving special developmental incentives for retail development along the corridor to try to return some of the retell back to oakland. this is one of the most profitable. there is an under search need in oakland and this is a good time to come in.

this area is extremely underserved. almost every woman in oakland told me that they needed more shopping. that is a powerful source of funds. we are the cultural and entertainment center for the east bay. we have people moving into the valley because they want a city with great transportation. our global warming exhibit is a national model for teacher education. we had some amazing opportunities.

we are trying to make a premier entertainment area. we went to the restaurants and the art galleries. oakland is ready for business. we are well-positioned. i told the luncheon in oakland a couple months ago that we will be restructuring our insistence on economic development.

basically, and good investments downtown and regional infrastructure. this is a major -- in the mayor's office. we are looking at ranges from two-five years. we are doing very well with stimulus brands. we expect to see major industries.

they can get 90% paid for. we can have a concierge service. we will take some with the forms to you, fill out those forms, and find and architect and construction company if you want. clearly, oakland has become the home to major new cream companies. they are now leading a cluster of about half of the software

companies. pandora it is on my iphone. we are developing a cultural climate of business over there that you will see a lot more new york and softer porn -- we will see a lot more in your and softer products. i have led a lot of the urban coalition says. i am leading a campaign and there is a card on each of your tables.

in this city where unemployment for african-american youth is 28%, this is twice the national average. among african-american young men, only about 30% are greg tweeting from high-school. i want you to adopt one of our schools. i want to have mentors for the kids who are chronically truant, who have problems. i am asking you to look at in

giving 8 -- to the public school teachers. and bring them into shadow your employees for a month. when they go back, they can have real world experience. of course, give your young person an internship. if you give a young person up an opportunity to shadow someone and the possibilities and if you give them an internship, they're more likely to graduate from high school, they're more likely to go on to college. that is the kind of experience we want. oakland, but this was the number 8 the city with the most woman

entrepreneurs. there is an engineering at the academy that cents for kids to mit the in any of the high school in the east bay. they also said more kids to harvard than any other high school in the east bay. they have a very famous pre engineering program. for many years i was worried that there was no women and very few african americans.
