what happens throughout the city. it is the first time really thinking about it. i am not there yet on the part of it. supervisor kim: they don't have a vote on the board of supervisors. they still have to get introduced by a elected member and to go through the full legislative process. i am not sure this group would be hijacking the economic policy agenda for mid market. but advising just based on their experiences, these are the suggestions that they might have. it would be up to individual board members. >> alike to understand what that looks like. again, very happy to consider it. without hard makes me nervous and i am not there yet.

supervisor kim: understanding is that we modeled this half of the stabilization fund. my understanding is that all of those seats are appointed by a district 6 supervisor. >> i have the document of on the laptop. nowhere in the qualifications does it say they are appointed by the board of supervisors. even if there was one, am eastern neighborhoods is not the case. the western that we just had here, and of those had one district supervisor appointing horn dominating all of the members. it is a very unique thing that i don't think is appropriate.

supervisor kim: ok. i am still committed to the legislation as written just because we have spent so much time working with community advocates on the legislation. i am more than happy to split its foreword to the full board. one that has the board of supervisors >> maybe you can convince me. the history of that, there was never a problem. the of these other committees, there was never a problem with the district supervisor. i don't think is appropriate that the home district supervisor guess the ticket to choose their friends. it should be a more open process. maybe you can give me a justification about why the district 6 supervisor should be the sole nominating person.

that way everyone feels like they have got a shot. supervisor kim: i understand that. i think that maybe the group felt comfortable with having our office nominate members of this committee, and we really tried to make this legislation has tight as possible, making sure it was around for a limited number of years in terms of providing a device, feedback, and holding public hearings. it would not actually have any decision making power over legislation and policy moving forward. >> we are setting up a world cup -- rules committee hearing where you have what, seven people? there might be one or two or three or 10 people that are interested in that.

the answer is a you'll have been dominated by a supervisor. what was the district 6 supervisor process? what kind of process will they have for who they will nominee? you're setting this up for a bit of a black market, and it could look like it is not necessarily the most open of government processes. and if you have an open process where anybody who wants to convince these qualifications and appropriately apply to the rules committee and be on the public record, the rules committee can go forward. when this happens initially, you will be the share of the committee. it is very deferential. and if you're thinking beyond that time, we had her supervisor campos make a recommendation and

we are very deferential. i just don't think you want to set up this process for the district 6 supervisor makes the additional nominations. supervisor kim: supervisor farrell, d share the same concerns? supervisor farrell: i never thought about it in that way, but -- >> we based this completely off of the language of the stabilization fund. i don't believe there is an open application process for that. they are split. can we potentially amend it to model that exactly? would you be open to that? supervisor elsbernd: again, i am relying on the address here that says it is nominated to the

board of supervisors. if you would like to continue at, we can pull out the exact. >> it reflected a mix. it encompasses a larger area. the language is taken partially from the neighborhood, the part of the appointment process through the district supervisor. and the confirmation by the board. supervisor elsbernd: but it has a legislative and executive splits. it is just pure legislative. if you wanted to add more seats so there was an executive legislative split, hot -- and that might make a little bit more sense.

>> there were originally seven members, but they did not have to appoint them. i like the suggestion that we go into closed session and we are able to pull oup -- >> not closed session on this. supervisor kim: actual litigation and we can spend some time crafting language around the nomination that would work for all three of us. we have a motion to move into closed session. and reconvene. we will continue this item after the closed session. thank you. members of the public, we are going into closed session to discuss litigation and we will reconvene on item number 9. thank you.

>> thank you for the members of the public for your patients as we put together some amendments reflecting some concerns from colleagues. we have now submitted a split proposal for the advisory committee. are there any comments or questions? ok. i also wanted to respond to supervisor ferrell's comment about having an advisory body that gave recommendations on

legislation. that language was actually listed from several other citizen advisory councils, for example, the local coordinating board and the civilization fund. we're not setting any precedents per se within this piece of legislation. >> i'm happy to take a look at it right now too. >> take a look at? >> precedents. >> you mean for previous task force? yeah, the language for all of that.

>> actually, while we're waiting for the language on advicement on policy for other local task force, i was wondering if there are any comments on this proposal which would amend the legislation to be a split of district six supervisor. >> i still have not heard a rationale why this should be the case and why the process that works for every other committee commission task force . it has worked just fine.

>> just to ensure that there's a diversity of voices that they may not be reflected if other members on the board that are not as familiar with district six have a voting say on that. task force composition. so this is the compromise solution that i put forward. i'm more than happy to submit this. we can take a vote on it. we can forward it with a recommendation or a negative recommendation to the full board. >> at this point, let me just say why wouldn't we continue this to assess this out?

with the language, you know -- i'm open to discussing. >> ok. but to send this forward as is -- >> that's fine. i was worried about our agenda over the next couple of weeks. but if any colleagues are ok to continue it, more than happy to give more time. please continue to give feedback in terms of what would work. i think there's a motion to continue item number 9. >> continuing a version one, amended version that you submitted. >> why don't we continue item, the version one? and we'll continue to our next rules committee meeting. [inaudible] >> we haven't adopted any of those amendments.

we will be able to adopt those two weeks -- >> can we don't them today? >> either way. ok. so there's a motion to move to adopt the amendment and we will then continue this item to the next rules committee meeting which i believe is on the 19th. thursday, may 19. >> just when clear when we say "the amendment" it's not the new composition? >> not including -- not including the most -- what we had earlier today. we will continue this item two weeks from now and have adopted the amendments that were initially proposed of this committee meeting. >> thank you so much, colleagues. the meeting's adjourned.

>> of the meeting will come to order. this is the real meeting of the land use committee for the san francisco board of supervisors for monday, may 9th.

absent is supervisor scotts wiener. could you please give us a announcements? >> please make sure to turn of all cellular phones and pagers. any document should be giving -- should be given to the clerk. supervisor mar: could please call item no. 1? >> ordnance amending the san francisco planning code by establishing the presidio-sutter special use district. >> it is wanted to continue this to the call of the chair. supervisor mar: let's open is up

to public comment. are there any members of the public like to speak? cnn, public comment is closed. we have a motion to continue to item no. one to call of the chair. -- seeing at 9, public comment is closed. is there any other business before us? meeting adjourned. thank you, everyone.

>> thank you. good morning, everybody. thank you for coming today. we are going to highlight once again the importance of san francisco putting local residents back to work and reviving our local economy. as some of you may recall, last september, we announced the city would have its own modified version of the federal jobsnow

program. because congress failed to act, the city partnered with local businesses to keep san franciscans working, and we call it jobsnow2. as a result, we have partnered with over 100 businesses and employed over 500 local residents, with 70 of them working in the private sector. today, we are here to announce we still have a lot of financial opportunities for private citizens to participate in the jobsnow2 program and we will continue to help put san franciscans back to work. we would like to increase and focus this jobsnow2 program on local small businesses. local businesses are missing a great opportunity to use this resource to their advantage. this increase of subsidy we are seeing today could help small and medium-sized businesses

expand and reduce overhead. jobsnow2 will reimburse employers for the first $5,000 of wages paid to an employee hired from the eligible job seeker pool, which would cover two to three months of wages. a pretty good deal for participating businesses. it reduces the risk of hiring new employees, which would be a big plus for any business, and getting more san franciscans working is a plus for our entire city. this program, the jobsnow2 program, it is funded through june 30 this year. there will be approximately 250 to 300 jobs that could be subsidized by this time. we are here to announce we have still got money. we still that enthusiasm and an

opportunity. we are focused on local small businesses. we have done well with the public sector and non-profit sector. today, we are announcing the availability of these funds to entice our small local businesses to take advantage of this program. with that, i want to introduce trent rhorer, our head of the human services agency. and he will in see the rest of the speakers. >> thank you, mr. mayor. good morning, everyone. i am trent rhorer, director of the human resources agency. as the mayor said, we've had tremendous success with jobsnow. we employed over 4100 low- income, unemployed job seekers, as well as folks who were receiving unemployment. this was underwritten by more

than $60 million in federal funds. unfortunately, expired september of last year. we revive the program using more than $9 million of state, local, and federal funds to help the same pool of unemployed job seekers. two-thirds of the program has been successful. we've been able to place over 460 people in public sector, subsidized positions, as well as with our nonprofit partners in the city. i think the shortcoming of jobsnow2 was on the private sector side. we initially designed the program to offer private sector, principally small businesses, $2,500 to hire an individual. we had about 70 placements, and with the help of my colleague who is standing behind me and my staff, we doubled the subsidy amount. that is what we are announcing today, that small businesses --

or any business in the private sector in san francisco -- can avail themselves of $5,000 in a wage subsidy, provided they hire an individual screens through us and referred to them. there is room for probably 300 or more placements through the fiscal year. given the wage level, we think the $5,000 will carry a small business two to three months and in terms of the person they hire. in similar to jobsnow1, believe the private sector will recognize immediately the value of the individual they have hired. over 70% of the businesses who participated in the first program said the employees increased sales. and many of these employees were kept on after the program ended and the private sector pay their salaries. we hope the same thing happens here, that they add value to the company, and they are retained

after the $5,000 subsidy goes away. behind me, i have a champion of jobsnow1 and jobsnow2, providing feedback to my staff on how we can benefit the people of san francisco. we also have an employer and employee of both programs to talk about it, but before i introduce them, i would like to introduce one of our leader proponents and partners and advocates on the board of supervisors, board president david chiu, who will say a few words and then we will turn it over to the participants in the program. supervisor chiu: thank you. i am very excited to be part of this announcement, because i was an elected official, i used to run a small business. we all know one of the biggest challenges facing us is our

unemployment. i should mention, my mother used to say "there is no such thing as a free lunch." i think that jobsnow2 is as close as we can get to that free lunch between now and june 30. jobsnow1 was part of the federal stimulus that we got from president obama. it was remarkably effective. we created over 4000 jobs with 800 companies which brought $55 million of new activity into our local economy. we were all extremely disappointed when congress decided not to continue that program last september. but i am very happy that because of the partnership with the mayor's office and with mayor lee's commitment to jobs, with hsa, and private sector leaders, we've been able to move this forward with state and local and some federal funding.

i particularly want to single out scott, who pointed out our numbers have been lagging in the private sector. he brought this to our attention. what we really ask you, our media partners, is to give the word out. there is still be potential for hundreds of jobs to qualify between now and june 30. the latest estimate is 300 new jobs that could be created if companies take advantage of what we have got here. with that, i want to thank all the partners here as well as our friends in private sector and small businesses we hope will be using this program to put our people back to work. >> good morning. i am the founder of small business california. but i am also an employer. everybody knows that small

business is the engine that drives the economy, nationally. they hired two-thirds of the net job increases. it is really important that this information get out to the small business community. as a little background -- i did hire a person from jobsnow, the first portion of it. cecilia has been with me since january 2010. i did so because i knew at some point within six months to hear a was going to have to hire another employee, and this gave me the opportunity to hire someone earlier than i would have done otherwise. and she turned out to be just a fabulous employee. my assistance -- my assistant claims person in our office. she does a tremendous job. i think there is tremendous o
