to the work force development plan, which president to referenchiu reference, the oblin is beyond the completion of the ceqa review is that the local fire plan has to be developed, and there are specific things that are required to be included or addressed in the plan, including work around it infrastructure, even staging come in the event-related activities -- event staging, event-related activities, so what is the strategy to make that happen? >> i think each of those specific areas have a little bit different strategy. if you look at the infrastructure work, that will be governed as a lot of the public such partn/private partns
1:01 pm
are. we will look at the legal provisions under the lease that we would then transfer to the work force development plan to say this is what we are considering. i think in other areas what we will want to do is understand what it is the event authority is seeing as it's needs to bring these events to san francisco. i think they will hire their own core team that has experience in international events, but also they will need to have a surge in capabilities going forward. i think what we would like to do is understand what the needs are, figuring out ways we can bring those types of job applicants to them to say these are people that can do what you need them to do and really create an effective synergy there. as i said, i think that conversation is beginning, because we do not know necessarily the what before we
1:02 pm
can describe the how. but it is certainly top of mind. supervisor campos: on the youth involved a plan, my understanding is that they will play a role in that. >> we had a very good agreement. they do call out dcyf. they have a great number of youth programs that should be related to this, especially related to the water. we had a very good meeting with the general manager of recreation and park, high demand goes up to talk about the issues to say what is the inventory of the things we see here in san francisco that could be leveraged. when the event authority, which has already had exciting discussions about the sailing in the u.s. involvement piece of sailing can enhance both directions. i think it is a starting point.
1:03 pm
i think there is a lot of work to be done to figure out what the right strategies are and making sure we are hitting all of the groups, including underserved useyouth, but this s obviously something that is key. i would also know they have been great in developing curriculum for schools. we would like to see that if we can massage that forward and create that link for youth as well. supervisor campos: i think it is great you continue to involve the district two and the supervisors and the community. i am also wondering how you are engaging other parts of the community. in one of the slide to noted u.s. -- noticed you had 35 community meetings. i was wondering if you could say where those meetings have been located, and what kind of
1:04 pm
outreach is being done city- wide. this is something that all neighborhoods in san francisco can really be involved in. >> sure. the vast bulk of those 35 have really been people-planned focused, so we focused on the most-directly impacted neighborhoods, and those have primarily been in district two and three, and along the port waterfront as well, a number of advisory fronts involved as well. we have had meetings at the bayview meeting center, and that was productive in helping people understand the transportation linkage from there. all of this continues to be vital importance to importance toyout youth involved in bringig other areas directly involved in what will be happening at the waterfront. supervisor campos: do you have
1:05 pm
an outreach plan in place to outline what the strategy looks like in the next few months? >> we do not at this point. a lot of it has to do with when can we see substantive things to bring forward to say here is our idea on the uyouth structuring plan. we would like to bring forth an idea and improve those. supervisor campos: i appreciate that, but i think there's something to be gained from hearing from some of these groups and communities before you actually come up with something, because that may actually shape what you come up with. i think it is important, in my view, for us to engage these other neighborhoods and communities early on in the process so that it is not perceived as an afterthought, and i think the level of involvement throughout the
1:06 pm
process will ensure that they participate when the event takes place. >> i thoroughly agree. i am not trying to say we do not want to incorporate these ideas as early in the process as we can. early in the process i sent around and offered to the supervisors to have a meeting in your district. i renew that now. supervisor campos: i know i would be interested, and i know other supervisors would be interested. i think that is something we should all be committed to making happen. just a couple all points, on the people's plan, i am wondering how that relates to some of the existing endeavors like the transit effectiveness project, the bike plan. what are you doing to make sure there is consistency and a strategy? >> on this one i will refer to peter albert who knows a lot
1:07 pm
more about those issues. >> peter albert from mca. yes, the consistency is pretty important. -- peter albert from mta. we are choosing to benefit from this effort. for instance, even before we drafted the people plan and a bike plan, the sf park, an interesting program that helps is managing traffic. we also met with the transportation control system to look at the big picture at mta. the goal here is one of the things that i think is so important is we get to test and pilot programs that we do not often get the opportunity to do. by bringing the teams and looking at their plants, we are actually looking at elements of what they try to do without stepping on the toes of the
1:08 pm
process and testing that to see how viable they can be so that that is one of the benefits michael alluded to. supervisor campos: thank you. colleagues, i do not know if you have any of their questions. i want to thank you for the presentation. really well done. why don't we now open it up to public comment. if there is any member of the public that would like to speak, please come forward. we have a very full agenda, so we will live it public, to two minutes per speaker. please come on up. -- so we will limit public comment to two minutes per speaker. >> i wanted to thank the sponsors for today's hearing. i think it is very prudent that the city keeps extra close the tensiattention on this epic eve
1:09 pm
i am not a fan of this event. if my memory serves me correctly, most of the locations have been different from san francisco, so obviously holding it in san francisco will be a lot more challenging. i would like to bring up a few points for consideration. first, i would like some sort of discussion to feature how the city will handle demonstrations by activists. given san francisco's reputation i would guarantee different groups from around the world will hold demonstrations around san francisco, either positive or negative, and i think we should have at the road discussion for how that will be handled. secondly, i would like to have a discussion how we're going to handle people that are going to be driving to the different races from the sky. there is a lot of creative people, and i am sure someone
1:10 pm
will figure out a way to view the event from the sky. obviously that is a very attractive way of looking at the races, so i think that should be discussed in the future. also, i would like to bring up obvious point, how will this city be protected financially in case there are problems before and during the event? obviously given the city's position financially this needs to be thoroughly discussed and all options considered publicly. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you very much any other member of the public that would like to speak? cnn, public comment is closed. colleagues, this is simply a hearing. i am wondering if we could continue this to the chair so we can have a follow-up in the future. we have a motion by supervisor farrell. if we could take that without objection.

1:26 pm
supervisor mirkarimi: i think that the deliberations that came out of the last few months on the question of tax breaks and tax reform have helped us arrive at a particular place that gives us this entree to determining, maybe with our toe in the water, of what it might look like to actually recall tax structure. for most of my adult life, i have spent completely here in san francisco. now about 27 years. i was born in chicago. my father had emigrated from iran to go to school in chicago where he met my mother when he was attending university of chicago. that is where i was born. my mother, growing up in that -- growing up for me in the 1960's and 1970's -- was very involved in the war movement and what often take me to protest and lectures. she was also involved in union
1:27 pm
labor, as her family had been for a couple of generations. my father was the director of ymca in chicago. with the sixth engagement, i think that all was in one variable or another, very influential on me. after my parents had divorced, i spent most of my youth in the state of rhode island. after i graduated high school, i went to the undergraduate college in st. louis, missouri, and came out here for grad school. fell in love with the san francisco bay area appeared all my plans changed, and this became my home. >> [inaudible] do we end up with a wells fargo here? another bank of america over there? what projects as going forward? supervisor mirkarimi: you read my mind. that is a perfect segue. i wanted to talk about rezoning, areas that fortified neighborhood interests so there
1:28 pm
is not another chase situation or wells fargo, or what have you, that should put us in this position again. >> i worked as an environmental analyst for a number of think tanks and then applied to that trade in law enforcement where i went to the san francisco police academy many years ago, graduated from the sfpd class, trained in environmental forensics, both here locally, state, and finally by the u.s. epa in a training center, and i worked with the district attorney's office in san francisco for nine years becoming -- before becoming elected supervisor. i was one of 20 people who co- founded the green party in california. i thought that the democratic party in the united states had essentially vacated or left and use a little too much with the political right. in my opinion, there had been insufficient advocacy for people who were left of center. less than to w. years ago, i
1:29 pm
decided it was time for me to shift direction and said the democrats. that is what this comes down to. that does not take quite as long comparatively to other cities, either. if anything, at least maybe permitting is made to the frustration that red tape business is the way you deal with that reality, but in terms of legislation, good idea actually gets marshall pretty quickly in this city. i love to campaign. i knew that in advance. how i like to campaign is i meet people. i knock on every door in district 5, and i really did enjoy that. but i like grass roots organizing. does not matter what your brand of politics is. it should never be subverted. whether you come from the right, middle, or left. you should always want to engage the public and in power the public by them meeting you and you listening to them. that is what has happened around here.
