you. >> i am the founder and ceo of -- a year ago, a venture capitalist friend of mine who are talking to about to and the start of said that you need to come out of the bay area. when i came, there was this energy that emanated and it was here 38. this serves as a nexus for venture capitalists, very talented people call law and businesses and risk takers. if you look at san francisco as the speaking, pier 38 was the filament of that.

this is a shame to see this go this way. >> i have been told by the court staff that there is a meeting that will be convened likely by the end of this week with various city staffers. we hope that everyone will be able to come, i know that we have visited pier 38, this is an incredible place. we want to make sure that we do everything we can to figure out a good resolution. we want to let you know tuesday to end and you can call

supervisor kim's office. >> there is someone here to speak with the people at pier 38. we have been speaking closely with some of the tenants to coordinate this meeting. if you're not in touch with our office, that is our way of keeping in touch with you but we have been in touch with the mayor's office of the finding a resolution. >> thank you very much for being here. next speaker. >> i live across the street.

they have been a good neighbor. they bring healthy people coming and going to work in our neighborhood. the overhead is not seem to be working. i will switch the subjects and i will ask you to choose between two neighbors. here is bayside village, it has been here. the parking spaces are ventilated. this is about the size of a

space. across the street, we have the water mark. that is a parking garage. this is tied to the power grid. it blows fumes. on the front side, it blows noise. this is equal to the bridge. which would you like to have in front of your neighborhood, in front of your home where you live? to have noise in a building, it gets dumped. the noise is garbage.

thank you. >> thank-you. >> good afternoon. i am from a district 10. i started to work as an electrician because of the program that they had back in 1977 to get people in the area to work.

bill local six electricians are good at that. if they don't like you, they will bankrupt you. there should be more emphasis on hiring people in this city to keep this function in. if people cannot get a job, this goes to people in livermore, modesto, santa rosa. there seems to be a lot of collusion and ways to bust the system.

i would like to thank you for the up to 80 to have people come and speak on their causes and to represent themselves. thank you. >> are there any other members of the public that bush to speak in general public comment? general public comment is closed. why don't we go to the adoption without committee reference calendar? >> these items will be acted upon by a single vote unless a member requests a discussion of the item. >> would anyone like to sever any items? could you please call the roll?

>> those resolutions are adopted. >> today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following individuals on behalf of supervisor kim, wiener, cohen, and avalos, for the late mr. would burn. for the late mr. cox. on behalf of carmen chu, for helen mcdonald on behalf of mirkarimi, on behalf of -- >> if we can have miss westbrook

for the entire board, without objection, that will be the case. and leicester's any business and from the this board, i think we are returned for to -- unless there is any business in front of this board, i think we are adjourned for the day.

>> hello. 9 judge terri l. jackson. the court is now recruiting prospective civil grand jurors. our goal is to develop a pool of candidates that is inclusive of all segments of our city's population. >> the jury conducts investigations and publishes findings and recommendations. these reports them become a key part of the civic dialog on how we can make san francisco a better place to live and work. >> i want to encourage anyone that is on the fence, is considering participating as a grand jury member, to do so. >> so if you are interested in our local city government and would like to work with 18 other enthusiastic citizens committed to improving its operations, i encourage you to consider applying for service on the civil grand jury. >> for more information, visit

>> you can see that it is amazing. you can hear that it is refreshing. you reach for it because it is irresistible. and the taste. simply delicious.

san francisco tap water. it engages the senses. 311 is an important resource for all san franciscans. shouldld >> welcome. i am the senior vice president of human resources and corporate real-estate, and i am really delighted to welcome the honorable edwin lee, mayor of san francisco. we have a number of employees who work here. everybody, welcome. we are delighted that you have come to see our office space,

and we also have some good news to announce. with that, i would like to give callback the microphone to share some of that good news. [applause] >> good morning, everybody. thanks so much for being here. i, too, would like to extend my gratitude to the honorable edwin lee. thanks so much for coming. hopefully, you got a small chance to look around. the gallery was really built for to the we will purposes. one was to showcase the work of the customers, which is the best way [inaudible] secondly, to show off new technology and how you can use it to sell technology challenges.

if you look around, you can see interesting things. i just had the experience of bringing my nephews. we eventually printed things out. that was very exciting. one thing that was particularly exciting was the announcement of our presence in san francisco. it has been a great location for us. we have continually expanded over the last half-dozen years. we love to meet here in the city. this has turned out to be a fantastic place to host and guests. it has been a fantastic place to attract employees, to tap into the creativity and imagination of the city and all the support

it provides. we are thrilled to be here, and we will continue to expand our presence here. this morning, we are announcing that we are building another 36,000 square feet of space. this one is in the adjacent our and will be connecting the two buildings. just like they are connected on the ground floor, this will be connecting the high rise of the building. this will continue our expansion of our presence in san francisco, which has just been incredible. there is nothing like to bring a guest to san francisco and not only being able to show off what the guest does, but to show off the city itself. the combination of using it as a showcase for us as well as a place to expand our employee base is very exciting for us. now, i would like to introduce the honorable edwin lee.

[applause] mayor lee: good morning. welcome to the city of innovation, san francisco. we continue to be really strong. i want you to feel comfortable, all of you here. it sounds like every six months we will be coming back to make another announcement. i was here in march when we talk about the first major expansion, and, of course, i got to have the personal tour from carl and his wonderful staff to see all the different products and all the work has not only trading, but is the part of the way so many other companies are doing business, and we had a chance to talk this morning about all the different hospitals, the medical field, and the seismic retrofit requirements.

all of the contractors and major engineering firms are using the very product you see here to be able to model their buildings. clearly, without that modern technology, you cannot see how some of these things can be sequenced with the great savings that are inherent in using 3-d dimensional looks at the way everything from hdc to architectural drawings actually fit in with all the different skill sets. being your former dpw director [inaudible] [laughter] i told carl in the last four months since we were last year, i brought about three different visitors to san francisco right down here to take a look, and each of them came back. "what a wonderful place.

i want to go back to the museum and see this great technology." every six months, there is an exception. want to talk about the great comments. despite what you're hearing about the whole national economy, we are very solid in the city, and i am so happy because as the mayor of the city, we want to keep that innovation, keep the technology companies welcome in the city. eventually, we are going to sit down for some long hours and say, "how about those headquarters?" 36,000 additional square feet being announced today. that represents an additional 200 employees on top of the 500 employees that are currently here. autodesk has about 7000

employees worldwide, but there are making some very good plans here. there's a reason this is the city of innovation. many of the fantastic employees located here with carl's leadership come here because they want to interact with the best engineering firms, the best architectural firms, with the entities of building our new villages, if you will, whether it is salesforce or general hospital or chinese hospital, as we go through those negotiations and get that done. these are fantastic buildings, fantastic institutions. it is all going on. they are all using the very modern products, so i am happy to see this. it is all about jobs and employment for us in the city as well. you have seen the other companies attracted to not only what autodesk is doing here,

but also choosing to come here. of course, our work with twitter is very helpful. we are still on the move. we are still very excited about what autodesk is doing and still supporting every effort we can to not only keep employees here but offer opportunities to expand because the product and the innovation has to be working together. the companies come here -- it is not because -- there is a little higher rent that you have to pay, but look at what you get. that is why salesforce has about eight floors here of great work they have. they will eventually -- they

already are designing their whole campus in mission bay and using a lot of products here and their clients and customers using a lot of products to do that. i am excited to announce this and suggest to you that it is important, and my number goal is to create jobs and make sure that jobs-creating companies are here, they stay here. look out -- in six months, they will be right back here. we will make another announcement. hopefully another great contribution. maybe look at the first order -- the first quarter and hope that is as successful as the second quarter. thank you very much. [applause] questions? >> [inaudible] >> 150.
