good faith efforts to bed and come up with something else. >> good afternoon, supervisors. ayman executive fellow at the green line institute. thank you for holding these hearings, 1st and foremost and making sure that the families' and it worked in the community. we know that good faith efforts do not work enough to get the residents of our community jobs. we recommend that america's cup in share that san francisco ends benefit from this agreement. secondly, we want to reiterate the importance of including women and minority businesses in the plan. we appreciate the efforts made to include these unique

businesses but we want to make sure the goals are aggressive and clear and that they meet them as well. fed, we want a greater means of accountability penn too want to encourage greater accountability for the goals that are set in the plan. america's cup knees to make the quarterly report accessible to our 20s and not only include data on local hiring but also at the gender and ethnicity of the businesses they get contracts from. thank you for your time. >> more cards. >> good afternoon, supervisors.

i am here with local 261. i want to say thank you to my friends in the local craft. today, i am here about the good faith efforts. the importance of to give us access to the trade that can provide a skill set area which would include those that laid off from construction. this is a seasonal job. i'm here to say that good faith efforts to not work. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors.

i'm here on behalf of our members. our members not only make up part of the unemployment rate but they also make it part of the higher unemployment rate. the is the part of the changes that have consistently failed. the plan of active out reaching is not enough. we are asking that the america's cup apply local hiring to all jobs created including but not limited to construction, then income the installation. thank you. -- vending, installation. >> i am here to echo what cristina just spoke to. i want to highlight a few stories of members that are not able to be there today.

freddy's father who works in the building trade it consistently has to drive over an hour away from his daughter to find work in construction, thdespite the fact this massive construction in his community. he has experience working for years in retell but has not been able to find consistent work in san francisco. christie is struggling to create opportunities for our future. there is no question that the need for jobs with prevailing wages exists in san francisco. america's cup looking to be a large scale of and which is being hosted in our city has a responsibility to give back to its hosting city and local residents. thank you.

>> could afternoon, supervisors. -- good afternoon, supervisors. local hiring tends to help local businesses and local residents. they have helped to get them more business. well good faith efforts would drive down the actual participation. if you look at the actual figures in contrast to that we have, it tells you that the good faith effort is not really up the participation. we have projects, i saw the project in stockton, they applied 65%-75% local work force.

they are not encouraged to use a local work force. thank you very much. >> thank you. anyone else who like to speak, you would line up on that side of the there? -- that side over there. >> i am basing a native san franciscan. -- i am a senior san franciscan. i went to two prestigious universities. i got into a trade and was able to work with the tools of the trade every day here in san francisco but i am now an anomaly. i never thought i would see a city, a place where black brothers and sisters were no longer welcome as a result of the fact that they cannot secure

work. make no bones about it, private developers are all for local hire. the problem is that when it is down to the contractors, we know how to take care of a local hire. someone with a nod and a wink, they go about displacing folks. it is always a specially the communities of color. good faith does not work. as a member of the carpenters' union since 1967, having been an executive for close to 30 years, i can assure you that most of the contractors will not comply with good faith efforts. we have watched that fail time after time. we have had this challenge in town before. certainly, i need to talk to the city attorney, not the deputy city attorney, but we have taken the position on public lands where they require the payment

of prevailing wages. it is the only way that we can maintain a presence, making sure that this city becomes a city where it is only the poor and the rich? let's keep putting our faith and trust in the folks to keep singing as the same song. i commend you, supervisor, for having moved the local legislation forward. i say that 50% is not out of the question. thank you, supervisors. supervisor chu: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i am walter. ♪ if i could, i would like to be a great big american workforce man we would have a great big budget and an amended plan i would call a meeting for the

press to let them know these things i do because we need good work force from you because we need good work force from you i am just america's cup work force of man doing everything the best i can if i could i would give the america's world cup budget to you if i could i would like to be we need good work force from you and i hope it comes soon i hope it comes before june these things i do because we need good work force from you these things i do

because we need good work force from you supervisor chu: -- from you ♪ supervisor chu: thank you. and i would rather be a hammer the nails. [laughter] >> that is -- rather be a hammer of van a nail. -- than a nail. [laughter] >> good afternoon, supervisors. the basic craft proposal must be commended. i am disappointed that i never got into -- there was a disagreement over the semantics of good faith and mandatory. i believe that we can still make this work. good faith is a failed policy. i am not so confident that it

will work on this particular project. but i will leave that up to you. i am positive that discussions will come out of it to benefit all involved. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> been afternoon. -- good afternoon. you have heard in the discussions that there are public works projects on going, such as pierre 27, and significant public resources being committed. specifically on their website, stakeout financing for being necessary to the actual village and spectator seating that is constructed. as a lawyer, i was very interested in these discussions. whatever else it might be in between, it is besides the point.

it is the principle that matters. the principle of managed way local hires and good faith not being a part of the sustainability workforce development plan. in multiple drafts, they have talked about inclusion, sustainability, and diversity. fortunately, the prevailing wage ordinance, it looks like there have been positive steps toward that. however, the supervisor has excellent follow-up questions regarding the requirements and mandatory local hires. at one point it was reported back that the consequences of not adhering to the requirements would basically be not writ -- not adhering to their requirements. if that is not good faith, i do not know what is. the local hiring requirements, there was the subject of there being a penalty for steps not to monitor or not meeting the goals. again, that is good faith.

special thanks goes to our labor allies, for understanding this. thanks also goes to the supervisor for pointing out those particular points. finally, thanks goes to the members that have expressed disappointment, outrage, and unwillingness to accept this. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> thank you very much, supervisor avalos, supervisor chu. at this time i would like to thank my brothers and sisters from the carpenters' union for showing up. i would also like to thank the america's cup people that we recently met with. also, for the apprenticeships language that is important. for the language that works, we

are moving in a positive direction. i cannot thank them enough. seriously. we will continue to dialogue the nuts and bolts and are confident that we would get there. on the issue of the residency hiring policy, i know that an agreement can be reached. i am positive on that. all parties coming together, something can be worked out. again, i want to thank them and thank the supervisors union. anyone else that would like to comment, please -- supervisor chu: thank you. anyone else that would like to comment, please line up against the wall. >> i want to say that it is very important that we be sure that

legal residents have the opportunity to do the job for the america's cup. we, the people of colors, one to be a part of this historical moment. good faith is not apply, so let it fly. supervisor chu: thank you very much. >> hello. i am here to say what everyone else is saying. how many people need to get up here and say that good faith is not working?

local hiring is not working in this city, so i think that we need to raise the bar for this very event. if we plan to have this event come here, we should plan to put the reins to work. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you very much. if there are no other members of the public that want to speak, we will close public comment. if our other speakers, please come forward. supervisor kim: supervisor avalos: avalos -- supervisor avalos: thank you. i want to thank the community labor organizations and members of the public for being here. i know that these are not easy discussions and i know that this has been going on for quite a

while. there are many aspects of the event that still need to get worked out. that is more than a full-time job and this is a critical issue that works across the board for san francisco. the spirit of the ordinance is alive and well in this room. really, it gives us a demand for this america's cup event. it is not asking a lot to be able to do that. we have seen, over the past year, for the local hire ordinance, a lot of our projects have come in under-bid. that is exciting news. it means we are putting together a plate -- great quality of work and are doing it in a cost- effective way. we are making huge benefits for the local residents of san francisco. we are paramount in applying the

principles of local hiring. there are many ways that local dollars are going into the america's cup event. while we might not have the legal basis to extend the law the way that it is written, we do know that there are local dollars going into the event. we also know that we had our environmental review before us last week and there were going to be cuts to look at mitigation across the city. what can we get for that? we also know that the development authority will be getting rights to develop in the future. there are these relationships that we have that are of mutual benefit that we can extend for this to go forward, which can wring out to the neighborhood organizations and community members here. i hope that the authority can

come together with these groups, to come to the last part of this agreement and work force development plan to get the local hire ordinance to come through here. something like that, i think it is critical. it would be a great question going forward. this hearing we have already had twice. i can continue this to the call of the chair. buhopefully we will have a hearg before the budget committee comes, but if we could have a recap of where things are in negotiations, hopefully we can get to the local hiring ordinance extended throughout the event. i know that we are very close to seeing that happen. >> thank you. >> i would like to thank the

supervisor for calling this hearing. this is one of the most important pieces i will be looking at, when it comes before us. i certainly agree that -- look, although this project is not currently under the purview of local hire, it would be great to see the event authority voluntarily agreed to mandates. we have heard loud in clear today that good faith efforts have worked on previous projects. we would like to see more teeth than a promise. one of the selling points that was passed by the board in the over one year ago was that it would bring much-needed jobs to the city of san francisco. the economic development that we want to see. i certainly look forward to working with the event authority on the neighborhoods

and -- in neighborhoods that will be impacted. supervisor chu: thank you. i hope that we will get there. for many of us, we want to see the america's cup be successful. we want to make sure that this is an opportunity to broadcast and showcase this wonderful race. one good way to do that is to make sure that we are involving residents on many levels. i hope that it will get there in agreement. i want to thank you in advance for your work. we have a motion to a continue the item to the call of the chair without objection. thank you. item number three, please. >> item #3. ordinance amending ordinance no. 218-10 to revise the findings supporting the waiver of chapter 6 of the administrative code for a conditional land disposition and acquisition agreement between the city and the san francisco museum of modern art for the design and construction of the new fire station to be

located at 935 folsom street, san francisco, california. supervisor chu: thank you very much. for this item, we have 10 and chief." -- ken and the chief. >> good afternoon. you have a small amendment approving additional land disagreements and acquisitions. as you remember, this document established a transfer agreement in which the city agreed to transfer the fire station number one property on howard street to the museum in return for the agreement to build a new fire station and transfer that facility to the city. the documents included the exact specifications of the facility, which sf moma would be obliged

to grant to the city. there was all for all -- also a waiver, as it would be determined by a private entity and turned over to the city. over the last year, discussions have brought a few components of the facility as identified and left out of the agreement. after discussion, it was agreed that the museum would pick up additional items and others would need to be paid for by the city. it was also agreed that it would be far more efficient to rebuild these items while they were constructing the new fire station. the estimated cost of these items is $350,000. for this reason, we asked the board to put an amendment on the ordinance, asking the city to pay $400,000 to the museum for the scope of work force

contractor. before concluding, i want to set the record straight on one item. the analyst's report that you have indicates that the city agencies, namely dpw and fire, did not participate. i think that this is the result of some kind of new communication. indeed, fire and dtw did review progress designed along the way. as part of this review in those discussions, the missing items that we referred to were identified. staff commenced discussions with the museum, resulting in these amendments. i have a few words from the perspective of the fire department as well. after that, staff is available for questions. supervisor chu: thank you. >> thank you and good afternoon,

supervisors. i am the chief of the san francisco fire department. i would like to echo what mr. rich stated. as i continue to say, it is a great opportunity for the city. the museum of modern art will continue to expand. we have at the conclusion is a brand new fire station, one that we have not seen in years. we have come to you many times from a budget perspective to talk about those challenges. within about one year we will have a brand new facility. we have seen these items, additional items that we feel are very valuable, if we were to repair the floor, it would have been a $900,000
