top companies, looking to do good and well. this will create more positive benefit to our community through the commitments required as part of that legislation to becomelas in place to protect the nonprofits which also merit this favorable treatment. we think this encourages healthy competition which will encourage the best services possible for the city. we think enough protection is a place to bring the benefits back to the area and make sure the right people are receiving this discount. thank you. >> i'm the co-founder of green retirement plans. this is a women and minority- owned business. we are a local provider of sustainable or socially

responsible or green retirement plans to businesses, nonprofits, and millions paulis. we became a be corp. and four -- in our view, and business makes a profit considering all stakeholders and it's also the duty of business to give back to its stakeholders. if you will, a triple bottom line company focused on people, profit and planet. it is because of this focus we support this ordinance. i think this is a better way to do business and those companies should be given preference. businesses and are to benefit all stakeholders, not to stockholders. our business practices have been scrutinized and audited by independent third party. given all of that, i feel this is the right way to do business

and recognizing that, we should be rewarded with preference in the contract business. thank you. >> i also work for dharma merchant services. thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak today. i moved 3,000 miles to be in a city that shares my values. working at a benefit corporation is one of the exact reason i came out here. at the local police, working for a firm it values the same thing i do -- the common feeling as many people want to work for companies to value social responsibility and given back. giving the benefit corporations the ability to more effectively compete with incentivize more businesses to be legalized as a benefit corporation and change their habits for the greater good. the opportunity is the attraction of talent. the young generation wants to

involve themselves who are actively involved in doing the right things and there's no better way to attract that talent and to attract businesses that care. this will increase the amount of benefit corporations and amount of talent in san francisco. thank you for your time today. >> i work with a founding benefit corporation here in san francisco about two minutes' walk that way. better world telecom is found on the principle of doing business in a different way. our primary audience is businesses that have a mission and nonprofits. through that commitment, our partnership, we have donated hundreds of phones as part of a program to san francisco nonprofit year, including walden house and san francisco good will. federal telecom -- better world

telecom a epitomizes what a benefit corporation is all about. we are strongly in support of what a lot of other folks have spoken which is a community that shows they are actively welcoming companies that want to do purpose alongside profits and it will only improve san francisco. thank you. supervisor kim: are there other members of the public who wish to speak on item number 10? >> i am the ceo of the california association of nonprofits and i'm here to represent our opposition into this legislation. if i was going to argue for a two or three-year time limitations and i'm happy to consider -- to hear you are considering that. we welcome the existence of benefit corporations and flexible purpose corporations. we think a lot people on the

march terrific people but we don't think there is adequate accountability on their staying that way, not selling it to other people or changing it. i have two points i want to make. first, there's no link between the benefit the organization these companies are doing and the services for which they would be receiving preferential treatment in contracting and procurement. of the first 18 california benefit corporations, four were formed to preserve the environment overseas. that's a worthwhile and worthy goal, but confering economic benefit on than just as not make sense. this was brought in by todd johnson, one of the architects of the california benefit corporation law and would have been here to speak against this ordinance if he did not have a scheduling conflict. the third party verification, the california state enabling

legislation here explicitly bars these corporations or their employees or owners from any liability based on their failure to do good. it's clear the third party there fires which are largely funded by the benefit corporations and their backers have funded these and it's a weak oversight. one other point -- four of the 18 first corporations formed in california to provide oversees environmental benefits are also all subsidiaries of large for- profit corporations. thank you. supervisor kim: are there other speakers who wish to speak on item number 10? public, disclosed. we have accepted the amendment as a whole and can we continue the item for one week? we will do that without objection. we have any other items before us?

>> i want to revisit items #7 and 8. >supervisor kim: there was a reserve i spoke to on a budget analyst report. i want to clarify. >> the item should have been -- the amendment should have been made to item no. 8 and not item #7. supervisor kim: we had put a reserve on a $1.6 million for the be any replacements. we just wanted to clarify that for the records. now that we have clarified that, are there any other items before us? >> that completes the agenda. supervisor kim: we are adjourned.

supervisor john avalos. mayor ed lee, all of the city departments who are responsible for delivering capital products and co-chairing a local policy hiring working group. last year we were able to put our heads together, work collectively to implement this landmark policy to bring to wherever -- whenever we are implementing our capital projects to make sure that our monies also go to providing local jobs to this communities that are impacted by our capital projects. we work together with a different department head to maximize existing resources and to minimize costs and we have successfully done that. i want to thank all of our department heads here today, department of public works mohammed nehru.

teresa sparks from the human rights commission, the public utilities commission. i would like rec and park for hosting here at the playground. this is one of the projects that is under construction and that are hitting its local hire goals already with 10% progress on this project. i want to thank all of our community partners, whether it's young community developers, the a. phillip randolph institute. i want to thank bright line institute and i he was want to thank our partnership with the unions, local 261 and local 22 and the operating engineers, i see you all here today. thank you for your participation. without all of these partner ships, we would not have been able to successfully achieve this first year of implementing the local hire policy. i also want to introduce the mayor who under his leadership when he first game the mayor a year ago, it was very important

to him to create jobs here in san francisco and to make sure that our local residents are going -- that our local residents are having opportunities to have are employment here in san francisco. and it's his support with the board of supervisors and all of the departments that he is very -- that he is here today to announce our great progress with local hire. so mayor ed lee. [applause] >> thank you, naomi. welcome, everybody, to this wonderful occasion. about a year ago, supervisor avalos and i and a number of other hopeful departments and union leadership and community people gathered together at a playground to announce the beginning of an ordinance that we both worked very hard on. and we knew at that time that

we were transitioning as a city to be less dependent upon just words of faith that we have been operating on for some number of years to real life transformation to see real faces like the people that are standing behind me, people whose lives are beginning to transform because they earned their way to a decent job on city projects. and we knew that the real secret is for us to transform ourselves as policymakers and program directors -- don't mind if i pause while these trains come in. that we wanted to have something to hold ourselves accountable to the goals that had been loftly crafted in this ordinance. so we went about the business to working together with the

goals, with the trades, with the unions, with the training centers and with the departments about city-funded projects and to make sure that we could really have a city build local hire program that had goals that could be accomplishable and measurable. and so we decided that we would do this in a multi-year fashion where the first year, you had 20% goal and after that, by different measurements, ultimately our vision would be 50% of all working folks on these projects would be people from san francisco. and so this first year was really a test of what this lofty goal ordinance would do if we all concentrated on the seriousness of performance rather than words. so we all got together and we

all not only looked at ourselves in the face, we actually made agreements with companies like elations to really get accurate reports, with the labor units to really bear down on the trades that were going to be welcome, really bear down on our training programs to get the preapprenticeship programs up and running and then we went to work with our communities, all of our communities to make sure our doors were open and to make sure that their anticipations could actually be met. all of that working together has produced this final report that we're handing out today of one year worth of performance and i want to announce today that after the first year, we have hit not just the 20% goal that we had anticipated we would try to do, but because of the very deliberate work of the

departments, the unions, the apprenticeship programs, the and all working together, we have accomplished 34% of all work in local hire, 34%. this is part of a commitment that we have always wanted to markings a good foundation and we knew it wasn't going to be easy. we knew, in fact, if john and i had some minutes, we would go back, the supervisor and i would go back and identify all of the challenges that we had this past year of tearing out our own hair and kind of going back and forth with different representatives of different unions and still talking with advocates to say whether or not we could be able to accomplish this. now we got a good foundation. now we have the reason to move forward with everybody. we gave ourselves enough

flexibility in the language of this ordinance to really try to do and learn things as we went along. but the reality is that this ordinance is a live one. it's a live one because we have committed people in every aspect of the city and in the private sector working with contractors, the subcontractors to the enforcement staff of our office of economic and workforce development, our city build leadership, our departments, as well as the workers themselves believing that we're all watching each other with the very clear hope that we want to accomplish. that's why we get good results. we're breathing life into an ordinance that had in the past been simply good strong language of faith. and so breathing life into it means everybody has goals to be accomplished. the most important goal, though, in my opinion, is not so much the ordinance, not so much the departments because we

all have jobs, it's the people who didn't have a job a year ago now transforming their lives and giving hope to their families as well as they come here. that's the real transformation that we wanted to have happen. that's the real performance, because when we do that, and we do that with our city money in wonderful places like this park as you see today under construction with rec and park, we have the commitments of our own folks in our city believing this program works for them, a lot of other things take care of themselves. and there is not only hope, there is real progress going on in the city and i am very, very proud of people who have faith in our government to get into these programs and help change their lives. it also makes other announcements that much more significant.

as we gain the success of this 34%, we can can now have a dialogue around other projects that are forthcoming and in the works, projects that other departments are excited to bring into this fold, projects that we know will result after we pass the parks fund in november, right, supervisor? yeah. you know because the public now sees there is a direct benefit when our residents work off these wonderful projects that we pass where we're willing to tax ourselves to get the revenue, but we see the actual benefit in the more than just one or two ways. we're going to get beautiful parks. we're going to get great streets. we're going to get fantastic cultural institutions all done out of these bonds. we're going see people's lives we're going see people's lives transformed as a result of
