hypothetically if we had said or the city said we want in addition to be done -- let's say we will 100 people out there at all times, they might say this seems unreasonable and they would want to negotiate with that. i would say what we have asked for and the degree of regulation over the site is significantly above the degree of monitoring and regulation of any other development site, certainly in san francisco and probably in the state of california, maybe in the united states. supervisor campos: thank you. why don't we know hear from the bay area air quality management district.

>> i am john marvin with the bay area quality management district. i am with the compliance and enforcement division. we were asked to respond to recommendation 5 of the civil grand jury, and we, too, do not have authority over most of the hunters point project at the navy site. we do have full authority for our type of regulation over personal property. our organizations were regional governmental agency that regulates air pollution in the state of california. we have nine half -- we have nine counties here in the bay area.

at the lenar site we have responsibility for regulating, greeting operations at the site through an asbestos plant. this is a requirement or requirement for any project that is greater than 1 acre. this is from the state air toxic control measure that regulates naturally occurring asbestos emissions from surface mining operations in the state of california. we do daily inspections at the site. we have been doing daily inspections out at the site. we do weekend work whenever

operations dictate that. at the hunters point naval shipyard site we also do daily inspections. we do not have authority with the asbestos litigation planned at that site. that is done that through the of operation through the cleanup in the epa, and epa has direct oversight for that project. however, like i said, we do daily inspections. we regulate for dust emissions, and if we find any problems, we immediately report it to the epa. think you. ank you. supervisor campos: i did not know if there's anything to fear from the mayor's office of work- force and development.

to go good morning. office of economic and workforce development an interim director for the development agency. and if we could have the power point, i think it would be helpful to consolidate our answers jointly from both departments in group them. the first launch of findings and recommendations were related to continuing redevelopment in light of the state's plan for realignment. and as was indicated, we do agree -- supervisor campos: do you have a copy of the presentation? >> there should be a copy for the members of the public and for each of the supervisors.

four members of the public, there are candidates available here. -- there are available copies here. and we certainly do agree with the civil grand jury's recommendation six. we should have contingency plans in place, and we have already implemented those plans in partnership with the board and the mayor. we do disagree the city in redevelopment have been not indicated anything as far as how we will continue. -- have not indicated anything so far as to how we will continue. this board and the mayor approved unanimously in early august the plant to make a community room in payment. these are a large payment in the

upcoming fiscal year in an ongoing payments to the school district and the taxing entities. the forecast that as a resolution of intent to make the payments with the intention of passing an ordinance committing the city to make those payments. the redevelopment agency in turn has already passed a binding resolution of intent to reimburse the city for those payments. as you know, in august a lawsuit was filed with respect to these pieces of legislation. even though the court stayed, the implementation of the payment ordnances, we're quite pleased, depending on how the court acts in january, to respond. this board is supportive of continuing redevelopment with those payments. we're working with you for a

strategy for those payments. in any event, at hunters point shipyard in any other major development projects, many of the redevelopment, in the event these items are upheld by the california supreme court, read development activities will continue. the payments could be made with the passage of an ordinance by the board. in the unlikely event that somehow redevelopment is dissolved, all of these activities, including the shipyard, will continue. the city would assume obligations, and we would have the means to implement these major projects. then with respect to work force, if i could move on, these major

projects where we're talking about the shipyard or others will create jobs for the city, and we do have mechanisms in place. currently the redevelopment agency does have good faith effort policies regarding local hire. the civil grand jury was concerned that in light of the city's adoption of mandatory local collier that somehow our efforts to date would not measure up, but in fact i am glad to report after my brief introduction, i would like staff to walk through how we have done. it is important to get that information out there to the public. as manthe redevelopment agency t subject to the city's local hiring ordinance, but the shipyard construction work to date has well exceeded the initial benchmark of 20 percent signed. we're quite closer to 50 percent signed with a great participation from bayview

hunter. residents in city-wide. you will see more and graphs shortly. there is no jurisdiction in this case under local collier. it is work force development that does that. i think that was a simple oversight. the development agreements in place for the shipyard require quite robust local hire and workforce under equal opportunity program and the employment and contracting policies that are in place. the oversight is done in on a train the compliance by the redevelopment agency. as an added dimension to this, the oversight in compliance is not enough. through the development negotiations we have gotten a total of $8.9 million for work- force training, and that is in partnership with 8010 labor and ace, and the city through

the work force development arm will match that money in programs and services. if i could beg the patience of the supervisors, i would like to ask cristina garcia to walk you through how we are performed. we need good outcomes, and that is what these are about. supervisor campos: i think that would be very helpful. it is a big reason why so many people supported this project was because of the promise of job creation. i think knowing how we're doing on that and getting down to the specifics is really important. >> with that, i would traduce cristina garcia. >> cristina garcia, contract compliance supervisor. we have some good information here. there are very robust policies

that are included in the shipyard and steel, in particular for the initial infrastructure phase. there are contacting as well as local hiring requirements. on the contract in sight, the requirements are to make best efforts to contract with minority-owned and women-owned business. as you will see here, we have done --well in the infrastructue base. we have received 52.2% based on contacting dollars on the professional services side and 47.9% on the construction side. this is equal to roughly $31.8 million that is going to san francisco-based businesses and circulating back into the economy and to local workers. on the construction work force

side, we have a 50% good faith policy to have 50% of all of the construction hours that are completed be done by san francisco residents. again, we have had great results. as you will see here, currently at mid-year of 2011 we are operating right now at 27.5%, continuing to exceed the 20 percent signed mandatory goal in the city. in 2008 and 2009 with the most activity was happening around it infrastructure work, we were exceeding 50%. this has a direct correlation with the amount of work and scope of work. it really relates to the local hire percentages, and a great news we have here is lennar is working aggressively to secure funding for the vertical rays, and we anticipate there will be more work soon, and we are definitely expecting to see a trend upward.

currently the redevelopment agency as a whole is working up 47% local hire. we're working to exceed the city's 20% and look forward to continuing to do so. supervisor campos what is the interaction between work force and office of economic development? if you could talk a little bit about the interaction. >> certainly. we work very closely with office of economic and workforce development, project early on the local hire side of this. it is the single source our free-for-all, and they work with the community and with all sentences go residents to make sure they're being able to be responsive to contractors and fill the worker response when they come in. the way this works is that the redevelopment agency itself has a contract compliance division that has about seven staff, and

we do all the monitoring of the equal opportunity policies from contacting all the way through local hire, including prevailing wage. you can think of us as acting as the human rights commission all in one shop reviewing and monitoring policies. we go very deeply and how long- term relationships with these contractors, which is part of the reason we have had great results. we work very closely with owewd with this. we have also worked with them to create our work force investment program agency called the jobs readiness initiative that helps project area residents link to the workforce programs that are available. we are working in tandem all the way through this. we really understand it is

important to continue the partnership, as they are funding a lot of activities that will help build a pipeline of qualified workers that we will need in order to execute the work and continue to get rid results as we move forward. and that is a nice segue, and i believe mark majors is here to speak a little bit about what they're taking on in terms of the work force of element program. president chiu ": i am really struck by the success. are there specific things with the experience you have had that you think can transfer over to the local hiring programs? >> that is a great question, thank you. one of the things we have found the check really valuable for us is the staffing component of the synergy of starting from contacting and working all the way through the local hire so that we are from the very

beginning building a relationship with the contractors and subcontractors so they understand from the start of engaging in the shipyard project that there is an expectation to continue though local hiring through the work force component. i would also say that we have a much more intensive staffing ratio that allows us to be out in the community monitoring the projects on a regular basis that is really important to the success and achievement of outcomes. one of the other things that has been really useful for us with these numbers is the web-based technology system, which also oweewd are using as well and wil continue to be helpful with the hiring legislation as that moves forward. we have the ability to look at outcomes in real time with a two-week lag, which before was about two to three months.

we are able to reflect back to contractors almost immediately what the process is. supervisor campos: thank you. now why don't we hear from owed. >> tiffany boehie again. mark majors is here if there are further questions about coordination, but we do work closely together on work force, both on the construction site, referral side, and in light of the adoption of the mandatory local hire, we're looking at how we can adopt it. the program was adopted by the city in march, so we are really tracking that and looking at

how the agency's program can pick up and adopt the city's program, but we want to benefit from the lessons learned, and as president chiu indicated, there are things that could be implemented on the city said that could make each program work better. >> is there and thesupervisor ce any area where improvement might be needed in terms of oversight compliance? >> i think we are performing quite well. we could always do better and partner better with our local communities. we do have a strong relationship with the unions and local communities and the interdepartmental coronation should continue at this aggressive pace. >supervisor campos: i know the office of workforce and labor standards is here. let me just say for the record i do believe they are underfunded and that has nothing to do with

this specific item. that is a separate matter. colleagues, i do not know if we have any of their questions, but i want to thank the civil grand jury and the departments and agencies that have responded to this report, which i think it's very informative and helpful. why don't we now open it to public comments, and i have one card for item one. if anyone in the audience would like to speak on item number one, please come forward. the one card i have is jim lazarus from the san francisco chamber of commerce. you each have three minutes. if there is any member of the public that would like to speak on this item, please come forward. >> good morning, supervisors. i will be very brief. we concur with the city's responses and the letter from the mayor and the city

department stated august 15. i do not think there is a project in the city of the history -- in this city's history that has had more oversight. we appreciate the work of a civil grand jury, but we also appreciate the responses you have received today and urge you to sign on to this. supervisor campos: thank you. any other member of the public, please come forward. >> my name is douglas yep. i have lived in san francisco for 59 years. i would like to think the civil grand jury for their yearly reports. -- thank. i think they provide an independent analysis of what goes on in san francisco, and i think we should be encouraging organizations like this, and should give them proper credit. i feel they do not get the

proper credit, especially from regular press in san francisco. secondly, i would like to mention, because i am not up to date on this particular stature ration at hunters point, whether there were held issues brought up in the beginning and whether they were resolved by the department of public health. the impression i got in listening this morning is it is still ongoing. maybe we could have someone say whether the health issues were ever resolved or if they are basically still ongoing. secondly, since the situation of the stadium in santa clara, i would like to suggest instead of having the stadium there, maybe we should spread out the city's location of the rehab

facilities, it is possible that area up would have space available, rather than the crowding rehab facilities into existing neighborhoods in san francisco's, maybe we might consider having them there, especially to get privacy to the users of those services. also, since there is a historic district, i would like to suggest whether there is any available room for new sor's in hunters point. i think if people are going to be relocated there, then maybe it will be a better neighborhood, rather than trying to keep them crowded into the tenderloin and related areas. i feel that the civil grand jury does good work, and i feel local press should give them more

credit, and they should also publicize and maybe make available more of their work so this way people can research their work on the computers, because i do not think they good enough -- get enough good publicity. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you very much. director. >> i am not speaking in that capacity here today. there are a few folks became in with obvious interest to what was going to be said today, and i am sorry i missed the first part of the presentation. i did hear the part about the achievement a local hiring at hunters point, and as you have seen, the redevelopment agency using the good faith efforts procedures has succeeded pretty well in achieving up pretty good

level local hire for the project. i would sound one note of caution about extending the city's mandatory requirements to redevelopment work. redevelopment work requires necessarily the purchase a patient of business. businesses need a certain degree of certainty before it is willing to invest. you do not know what the cost of the mandatory local hire policy will be at this point. you do know in the city can be passed through and one way or another on to the taxpayer. the comptroller has wed -- has said 1% + 1.6 million in administrative costs. until you know that, until you have had a good look at the actual results of the local hire policy you have for the city, i

would caution strongly against try to expand it to development. supervisor campos: thank you. seeing -- and the other member of the public that would like to comment on this item? he none, public comment is closed. -- seeing none. can we final item number one without objection. -- file item number one without objection. >> item #2 findings recommendations contained in 2010-2011 civil grand jury report entitled hunters point shipyard, a shifting landscape. supervisor campos: this is the portion of the meeting for we as a committee take action on a response from the board of supervisors to the specific recommendations that are relevant to the board.

their art actually two findings that require action by the board of supervisors, and that our findings no. 5 and 6, as well as recommendations #6 and 7. i think the resolution before us needs to be amended on page two. it should be finding its no. 5 and 6. -- findings number 5 and 6. with respect to the findings, the first finding ready to take action is finding no. 5 that states governor brown's announcement earlier this year that he intends to cut funding to redevelopment agencies in the next fiscal year directly threatens the redevelopment project. up until now there has been no indication from the city or san

francisco redevelopment agency how they intend to continue the hps redevelopment project should funds be eliminated by the state. colleagues, any thoughts or comments? president chiu. president chiu: i want to think the civil grand jury for their continued due diligence and make sure we're focusing on the big picture in details of the projects. i do think with regards to finding never 5 i appreciate the comments made by the mayor's office of the various city agencies about the strategy that has been put in place for implementing our content -- our contractual obligations, particularly in light of what is happening with redevelopment, and the fact that just a few months ago here at the board we passed a resolution of intent that was signed by the mayor to move things forward. with that i would suggest we disagree with that particular

finding and with the reasons that i just enumerated in were enumerated in the presentation by city staff. supervisor farrell: i will support that motion. we suffer from a time lapse between this of a grand jury did the report and what we've done at the board since. it is no reflection on any work, just a reality that we've taken action since then. i will support the motion. supervisor campos: i agree with that as well. the other item that we would have to respond to is, with respect to finding 5, recommendation no. 6, which is that the city in san francisco redevelopment agency should have contingency plans in place for continuing sfra projects in the event that state redevelopment funds are cut or eliminated. i think the department's

response makes sense, which is agreement which should have those plans and those plans are already in place and have been implemented. with respect to finding number six the finding is previous efforts by the city to implement work force policies at city construction projects have largely proved ineffective, as they only require a contractor to make a good-faith effort to hire local workers. earlier this year in -- and to work force ordinance came into effect that has stricter requirements and mandates. in order to find the job creation goals promised for the redevelopment project are realized, the city should insure the office of labor standards and enforcement have sufficient resources to allow it to effectively enforce the provisions of a new work force law. supervisor farrell: thank you,
