i could go back and look at that. that is also tied to state offices. since we have our mayor and other citywide office is elected in a separate election, i did not incorporate those cities into this mix. i believe there were three at of the top 20 that have a scenario where there are separated. if it was the desire of the commission, i could go back and add in all the other cities. i purposely excluded those because i wanted us to be more about a scenario like san francisco, where it is separated completely from everything else. as far as the primary, i was only looking at november of

general elections. if you want me to look at the primaries, that would require me to go look at every other primary prior to that. there is a different type of voter turnout, so there is a little bit of a difference there. i do not think it ties -- over votes would be important for education purposes. i am not sure it is exactly there. but if the commission wishes to, i to do that. there was a comment about first and last round information. i did not want to make a decision. there were people coming at me from about sides. -- both sides. i inc. first-round and final

round to allow people to compare the two. i did not want to get in the middle of that discussion. supervisor campos: anything else? >> i understand there were some comments made about how you looked at over votes or how many ballots being cast. i did get an e-mail about some of the concerns. i did look through all of those. they are not needed for this report. it got away from what i was tasked to do it for the report. i was tasked to look at a very analytical point.

why are people voting the way they are voting? that gets away from a statistical analysis. i did not include that information for that reason. i feel that we addressed what we could given the parameters the commission gave me. i have not had a chance to look at what was presented for the final point. it is always something we could do as a supplemental later on. supervisor campos: in terms of the point that mr. fried was making and you were talking about jurisdictions where they have elections that are tied to statewide offices, do you have any response to that? >> new york city, for example, has september elections and even years and odd years. the election for mayor, for

example, there are no federal elections on the ballot. in minnesota, they use september elections in odd years. it seems to me including those is comparing apples to apples. in terms of the state primary, all i was suggesting was using the most recent 2012 data because you are already using state primary. you already have said in the report. it stopped at 2010. including 2012, it would make sense. it is the most recent data. you already have a category for statewide primaries. you include the u.s. senate, the governor, and those races. >> we use the primary only as an

example. there is nowhere else i use the primary information in our report for -- i never looked out over votes in primaries at all. it just looks at primary's in general about 65% of winner- take-all. i could not use september's election if i wanted to keep that formats until i had november's numbers. >> if you think about it with a plurality election, if you compare everyone who votes for the top two, their ballots counted in the final round. everyone else who did not voted for those top two, it is similar

to where their ballots has exhausted. it is this ironic thing that everyone is picking out exhausted ballots in making a deal at of its and not realizing that all races have exhausted balance. the people whose votes did not go to one of the top two the only have one choice. if you are going to into an analysis, which you only do in the appendix, it makes sense to extend that to other races. you will see these numbers are far higher than they are in contests. supervisor campos: that is a good point. >> what i have struggled with as i have been looking at this on that very item, you have a different electorate and the

primary and a different elector it in the general. you cannot guarantee that someone who showed up in the primary, there is no way to go back. as someone moves or leaves, they are removed from the system. i cannot go back and analyze how they voted five years ago. you could try to come up with a way, but i struggled with that. there is no way to know but people showed up. if you had 100,000 people show up in june and you had 200,000 people show up in november, you do not know how many of those 100,000 people did not show up in november. i cannot find a good way to do it when i was being cast -- as i was being fair to the numbers. supervisor campos: from my

perspective, it is helpful for us to get the information that staff has compiled to the relevant agencies. it is something that can form this discussion. i also know that there may be some additional questions along the lines that have been raised that could be included or issues that could be included as a part of the supplemental. my preference, and i defer to colleagues, would be to simply finalize something with the understanding that there will be additional conversations. i know commissioner avalos is very interested in this. i do think that this information is very useful in addressing some of the concerns that have been raised.

in some respects, i see the benefit of getting the information out there. supervisor olague: at some point, and i know we are not in a position to make this request, but i think it would be great for the department of the elections to have the opportunity to give us feedback on these findings. supervisor campos: that goes to the point that it may be -- the way i see this is that this is a reports that based on feedback we get from the elections commission, from other members of the board of supervisors, there could be something additional that can be presented. i would expect that once something is presented, i wouldn't they would come back to us and ask some questions. >> -- i would hope they would

come back to us and ask some questions. >> we can give this report to anyone you wish. i am happy do it. we cannot directly say we will come to present to you. they would have to invite us. supervisor campos: i do not know how you want to proceed. this is on the agenda as discussion and dyes and possible action item. -- discussion and a possible action item. if we move to accept this, it does not mean there is not additional supplemental work that cannot be added. is there any motion or recommendation? supervisor olague: i'd like to

move that we basically approve this. we should use this as an informational piece so that people did to understand the basics of some of the findings. supervisor campos: we have a motion to except the report with the understanding that there would be supplemental work that would be done in conjunction with some of the folks that are here. commissioner shmeltzer: i would second that. it is an informational item and it is useful. all of this, i think, is useful for the public to get to understand better the more discussion and more information there is, the more people start

to see different pieces of it. i think it is hard for people to understand all the implications. supervisor olague: i think it lends objectivity to the discussion. i think this is a good place to start. supervisor campos: in terms of clarifying what happens. once we accept this, this would be presented to the various agencies that would have some interest in this, whether the elections commission, what else? cut that would be up to you to decide -- >> that would be up to you to decide. i do not know if there is anyone

else. supervisor campos: as part of accpeting, lafco staff can work with the chair? is that ok? one of the things we should also notes, there may be additional work that is done and additional information provided. , as we have any other comments or thoughts, can we take that motion without objection? i want to thank mr. fried for the workin. the work continues. i also want to thank mr. hill. and the other speakers. the last time we did a report on something, we had a report on

the issue of garbage collection. that was also an ongoing effort. we put out a report and there was additional information provided. the hope here is that lafco can add to the ongoing discussion. i think it is important to get something out there with the understanding that it is not the end of the analysis. if you could please call item number 5. >> item #5 is public comment. supervisor campos: this is an opportunity for any member of the public to speak on any item that is not on the agenda. item number 6? >> item #6, future agenda items. supervisor campos: future agenda items?

>> i wanted to make a quick note that we normally meet on the fourth friday of the month. next month, we will be taking a recess. we will be meeting again in september. supervisor campos: by that time, there will have been action. >> that would be my absolute hope, yes. supervisor campos: any member of the public wish to speak on this? >> item #7 is adjournment. supervisor campos: the meeting is a we wish everybody a happy friday and a good weekend. meeting adjourned.

>> good morning, everyone. thank you so much for your patience. i appreciate the opportunity to have a conversation about summer jobs, a national initiative. some of the work is happening on the ground. we have wonderful city partners as well as community partners in the room. we are trying to have a real conversation. there will not be any moments of speeches. we will have an opportunity for some engagement. with that, if you will allow me, i am going to tell them who is in the room. it would take too long for you to tell them. let me do that very quickly, and then we will turn to the mayor and the secretary. we have bridget, our new

superintendent of schools. also in the room is roberta -- roberto. we have stephen caroll, with jawbone. chris from go pay go. we have someone from linkedin, someone from facebook. we have glenn harvey from west egg. alexis hunter, are in turn, is right there. rahm and richards is at the end of the table, with internships.com. another wonderful in turn is there from jawbone. a b is there from match bridge. david chiu from starbucks is

here. kim winston, also from starbucks, is back there. david gobot from backtowork.us is there. betsy from youthworks is here. she is with - not giovanni. yes, with giovanni. andrew is here as well. that was pretty good. i did not see john. john did not make it. deputy alvarez from goodwill industries is here. knesha is to her left. as is monisha and chris, two more interns. this is someone from the department of youth and families. rhonda simmons, our director of

work-force development, is also here with us. i did see a trend more -- see trent moore, phil ginsperbg, the direct picture of reparations and parks -- the director of rec and park. i do not see tony whitaker. jason eliot is in the back, from the mayor's office. the education and family services member is here. naomi kelly, our city administrator, is also with us. who did i miss? i know i missed somebody. >> donald leavitt. >> thank you so much. we also have someone from the department of youth and families. we have the director of

neighborhood services in the back. [laughter] [applause] what we would like to do -- the mayor is going to make opening comments. we are literally going to have a conversation about what is happening nationally and locally. we want to hear from our interns. we're going to prioritize that, if you do not mind. >> i want to first of all think eric mcdonald. he is a mover, a shaker, but obviously the great partner locally, on behalf of the united way. a pro-youth enthusiast for san francisco. thank you for your wonderful work. eric and i started this with a number of others. secretary, i want to welcome you

here, and thank you for your visit here. this is a great occasion, not only to welcome you back, because i know you have been here many times, but also to thank you and the obama administration for the wonderful support. when we are at the conference of mayors in january, on my first as elected mayor, when back as mayors. we have our annual meeting. we got a treat, to go into the white house and talk to the president. he told us, if you mayors are part of the answer. i want to challenge you, as the urban centers throughout this country, to create jobs for our youth. as he went through data and statistics about how it was harder for youth to get jobs, how the data recognize how

difficult it is, in these economic times, he wanted us to be bold. i took that boldness. we came back here with the spirit of what he asked us to do. i took him literally. i do not know if every other mayor is doing it, but i got to announce what we were doing in june, and we got a standing ovation in san francisco. we announced we would come out and create 5000 jobs. that was bold back in january, but it was also with a great amount of enthusiasm and initial collaborative support from every sector. i will begin by saying that when we announced this, we had carefully talked to every major department in the city. it was announced to rec and park, to human services, to family, youth, and children, to work force development.

all of us said, the city departments can lead the way. in fact, we wanted to lead the way. there was such enthusiasm. we had been through, maybe, some department successes. i worked with youth back as the head of dpw. come on, kid. do you want to know how to pick up trash? what is that about. but as they did that activity, they knew we were just using that. it was not about trash. it was about learning the operations of the department, learning which supervisors to go to, getting into the workforce, where people depend upon you. that is the other thing. some of these are growing up isolated. we felt that with the individual successes we have in the city,

whether it was doing these jobs at rec and park, beautifying the parks, working with the superintendents to create gardens, to our youth programs and the nonprofit areas -- they have been struggling. but the also thrived. we said we could form the difference. eric and i went about with hydra and others to focus on that commitment. at the beginning of this announcement, the department's all came together, all the major ones, airport included, the port. but all said, we will take on more than half of this. eric and i talked a little bit. that was a good foundation. why don't we take it another level? why don't we talk to our nonprofit partners, who have been extremely at the forefront of this?

if anything, they have been creating training programs for years and years. but they also get a little frustrated. sometimes, we train, and it does not lead anywhere. the youth get to a point where they are ready for a job. then, the economy hits. we hear all over the country. we said, the other not that is missing is our private sector, our companies. some of the early ones here -- starbucks. others stepped up. they said, we can start a trend. if united we can help us coordinate, we can get the private sector. we filled in the private sector, the nonprofit sector, and the city departments. today, i want to announce that, of the goal we announced a 5000 jobs, we have reached 5002. [applause]

there are different stages, so we have commitments that extend all the way to the fall, with private businesses. we have engineering programs. we have companies that have attached themselves to the water system, offering these jobs. all of them, by the way, pay. we are not fooling around with free internships anymore. we learned that to the school district as well. it is hard on the kids today. this whole age group, 14 to 24. the other thing the president and secretary made a point of is to focus on the disengage community, the ones who have really had a hard time with turning the corner on the training aspect. we worked for years on this

training. people want to be paid and earn respect. when you are near success, that is what sustains it. that is what sustains you. that is the spirit i came back with. this is the association i have had with the departments, with the community, with businesses, with nonprofits, all working together on this wonderful goal. we have not only reached it. we have exceeded it. and we have suggested this is not just a summer thing. we are going to turn this into a year-long, and year round. kids go to school. they need that income. it is hard. without the city embracing this and encouraging the private sector -- we are so fortunate that we are at a time when business is picking up. we are doing other things successfully to build confidence in our city. our unemployment rate in the last year and a half went down

from 9.8%, a year ago, when i first started, to 7.8%. we are still going further down. i want to thank you for your personal involvement and leadership in the administration. you saw some of this happening, and you wanted to make a federal investment. $5 million for us to make sure there is no digital divide in our communities. when we create all these tech companies, and technology overlays with manufacturing, with fashion, with all the things happening, we have to spend extra time and resources to bridge that gap, to make sure city college and the school district can emphasize science and math, and that we do the training not only for the kids, but also for returning veterans and people that want to change

mid career and get into the new economy. everything is tied-oriented, whether it is working at a restaurant or hotel. i was at a manufacturing plant last week. they have technology that was put on the cutting machines, just so there is a precise cut. there were doing it on an h-p had. -- pad. that is a cutting machine in a blue-collar setting. the have to be able to read that stuff and input it. that resulted in some of these neat ipad covers. the have to have precise cuts, because they are using sustainable material like bamboo. it has to be precise. they are doing 90,000 of this this year, to give you an example. it all goes to show that when federal policies get right down
