7:21 am
introducing legislation to extend our san francisco film rebate program through 2014. since the program was created in 2006, approximately 1135 san francisco residents have been employed in productions using the program, bringing over $12.50 million in wages to san francisco. last year production spent an estimated 56 colors million in labor supplies and other items. this body recently passed legislation i sponsored to bolster our phone rebate program by adding documentary's and programming, and to lower permit fees. the film and television industry is one we cannot afford to lose. many are great union-wage jobs. it diversifies our economic
7:22 am
base. it reinforces civic pride when we see our city on the big scene. i found this astonishing. my office had our budget and legislative analyst do is study on the film rebate program. it is a net profit generator for our general fund. we take in more sales tax, hotel tax, and permit fees from these productions than we give back in the rebate program. it is a net money generator for our city and general fund. the margins are slim in that regard. it is not a lot of money. as our budget and legislative analyst suggested, other states and countries throughout the u.s. and internationally have very aggressive film rebate programs we compete with, ranging from zeroing out there permiting fees to regrading all police officer fees.
7:23 am
if we want to compete in san francisco, we cannot just rely on our city's good looks. we have to do something about it. i want to thank those who worked on this legislation with me especially our film commission. i want to thank my staff and members for the controller's office. we spent a lot of time putting together a solid economic forecast. finally, while this legislation extends the existing film rebate program in its current form for another two years and adds another $2 million to draw from we have spent a lot of time in my office speaking with different members of the film industry -- from companies, producers. suzanne robinson has been evangelizing san francisco in los angeles recently. how can we make the film program
7:24 am
better to attract the next generation of films and television shows in our city? i am interested in making this more attractive down the road. my only requirement was that we do it in a cost-effective and responsible manner. those discussions are continuing. although today we are introducing a continuation of our existing program my hope is in the not so distant future we can amend the legislation to make this even better into the future, and take our film industry to the next step here in san francisco. the rest, i submit. >> supervisor kim? supervisor weiner? president chiu: colleagues today i am introducing in legislation that would establish an urban agriculture program to oversee and coordinate all of our urban agriculture activities and to
7:25 am
adopt goals for the city related to urban agriculture. we right now are in the middle of a new movement in cities around the country to reflect a new interest in healthy and sustainable living through urban agriculture. since 2008, over two dozen urban gardens have been created in san francisco. with many, there are significant weight lists of residents who want to garden in many cases over two years long. this would allow for the production and sale of things that are grown to urban agriculture. at this time, we need to take the next step. i want to take a moment to think -- thank spur which looked recently in two ways to expand public and private land for agriculture in san francisco. the highlighted the fact that we have seven different agencies that run different aspects of urban agriculture, 11 different
7:26 am
agencies that manage land. yet we do not have coordination among these agencies. at this time, in recent years the budget spent in total for urban agriculture programs is less than was spent in the 1990's. we also do not have a full staff to look at the city wide system. this legislation would introduce a city-wide centralized urban agriculture program. it would propose that this program focuses on creating a one-stop shop for information and programs related to urban agriculture. it would also move forward the creation of urban resource gardens, into partnerships with community organizations, looked into incentives for how we convert private lands, as well as streamlining the application process. i want to thank spur and the agriculture community, who have been working hard to think about how san francisco will move forward our agenda around urban
7:27 am
agriculture. i look forward to this conversation with all of you. supervisor campos: submit. supervisor mar: colleagues, today i am introducing with mayor mayor lee legislation that will help our parents and parent-teacher organizations support their local schools by exempting parking lot fundraisers from being taxed by the city. i want to think co-sponsors supervisor kim olague avalos chu, and farrell for joining me. i want to thank our treasurer and jason elliott from the mayor's office. this important legislation is the product of about three months of work in conjunction with michelle parker. and parents from the middle schools.
7:28 am
we have all crafted legislation that we think will allow such parking lot fund-raiser events to flourish and to protect the meager dollars raised by parents in these schools and schools throughout the city from being taxed. it helps parents in the school fund-raising. we are looking at other schools to be working with them for event fundraisers like parking lots. parent teacher organizations hold special parking events on local school parking lots to raise supplemental revenues for their school. currently san francisco business and tax regulations code requires these events be taxed at 25%. this creates an unfair burden on the volunteer organizers of these events parents staging them for the sole goal of enriching their schools.
7:29 am
this will help allow more of these events at schools. it also allows volunteer parent organizers to reap the full benefit of their efforts. the school of san francisco should do everything possible to help our families and children remain in the city. this legislation is helpful to parents going above and beyond to ensure their schools are adequately meeting their children's needs. i'm not to think the treasurer for joining me in this important legislation. i am introducing a resolution today that along with the department of the environment, 6 approval for associate membership in the home mortgage finance authority. it will help homeowners seeking energy efficiency improvements in their homes in the richmond and throughout the city. it allows san francisco residents by joining the authority at no
