settlement with countrywide loan or countrywide bank several months ago, if not a year ago. the grant is specifically targeted toward assisting our office in developing and maintaining specialized prosecutors and investigators -- sorry, singular. specialized prosecutor and investigator in area of dealing with mortgage fraud and associated type crimes. san francisco is a city that is very rich area for purposes of these type of frauds and scams to occur. notably the landscape encompasses people that own a lot of property or people that own property that's real estate value have appreciated. there's a lot of equity and people that purchase during the housing market so there are people at risk of foreclosure. this makes a rich

environment for people to commit fraud and scams. they are preying on people that have property or equity in the property so they can take the money in the property. they have people desperate in need of relief from mortgages. there's a lot of activity in san francisco. what this enables our office to do is create a specialized unit. to continue to create a specialized unit and build on expertise our office has previously developed. many of you may have heard recently we have had two very noteworthy cases, one was a case involving a 2.2 million fraud scheme where several suspects had filed false deeds in attempt to steal property that was already paid for, no mortgages. and later attempted to go get money loans off the property they had stole on paper. successfully prosecuted and individuals facing upwards

of 20 and -- 15 years and up. we've had another scam related to loan modification scams, targeting the hispanic community. where an individual had been promising foreclosure relief and had been taking people's money under the impression people thought their loans were paid off and being modified. in reality not only were they not being modified but falling further into arrears. our office has been able to tackle these more complex cases and having a dedicated prosecutor and dedicated investigator as well as support services or resources the grant permits us to have will permit our office to maintain that program. i'm available for questions from the board if you have anything. >> thank you. just a quick clarification it does pay for an attorney, investigator and parallel to do the work

that you detailed earlier. these are not positions but existing folks? >> yes, that's correct. >> this is not new but recurring grant? >> this is a new grant. a grant that was solicited by the attorney general's office last year. it is $399,000. i guess one lump-sum kind of grant. >> does department have staffing hired or room in aso to do this without hiring an additional three people? >> can i consult with my -- >> yes. >> my understanding is it does allow for these positions. >> excuse me? >> my understanding is it currently -- aso does currently allow for the

positions. >> i see. you have three with position authority that are not currently filled where you are using those positions to -- using this grant to pay for positions to be filled. >> correct. thank you. >> why don't we open this for public comment. are there members of the public who wish to speak on item three? seeing none, closed. nomination? >> motion to send forward with recommendation. >> we have a motion to send forward with recommendation. without objection, thank you. >> four is resolution authorizing office of district attorney to accept and expend 714,138 for a project entitled joint powers agreement for july 1, 2012 through june 30, 2015. >> we have maria bee from the district attorney's

office also. >> yes, good morning. this is a recurring grant. we have had this grant for 13, 14 years. it supports seven staff members. the work they do is review victim compensation applications to determine if they are eligible for benefits. this requires them to look at each application and analyze them according to state guidelines. they will review each bill for payment and determine if it is crime-related and submitted on the proper forms. eligible crimes are of violence, not property or theft crimes. benefits include medical, dental, relocation, crime scene cleanup, funeral, burial, mental health counseling. the most recent stats we have are from fiscal year 2010-2011. during that time frame we received 1,137 applications from san francisco crime

victims and paid out $2,337,570 to san francisco crime victims. are there any questions? >> not at this time. why don't we open this for public comments. are there members of the public who wish to speak on this item number four? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> move forward with recommendation. >> we have a motion, we will do that without objection. item five. >> item five, resolution authorizing office of district attorney to retroactively accept and expend 85,658 allocated from california victim compensation government claims board for a project entitled criminal restitution come pact for the period of july 1st, 2012 through june 30th, 2013. >> thank you. for this item we also have maria. >> for this grant it supports one staff person who obtains reimbursement for the state. if a crime victim comes in, fills out an application,

is eligible and receives 2,000 for relocation, under the second grant the crc that restitution specialist will seek that $2,000 back from the defendant payable to the state by way of cord ordered restitution order. the money reimbursement goes into the restitution fund, which is a state fund which supports the joint powers agreements and all expenses for crime victims. the most recent statistics i have on this grant are from october 2011 through june 2012. nine-month period. during that period the resolution specialist obtained 137,785 in court orders for defendants to reimburse the state. >> thank you very much. why don't we open this for public comment. are there members of the public who wish to speak on item number five? seeing none, public comment is closed. we've got a motion to send the item forward with recommendation, we will do that without objection.

thank you. item 6, please. >> resolution supporting fiscal year 2013-2014 community development block grant, emergency solution grant and housing opportunities for persons with a.i.d.s., consolidated planning goals. >> thank you. for this item, brian chu. >> good morning, supervisors. as we do every year, we come to alert you as to the goals and principles we are going to insert into our annual request for proposals for the community development block grant, emergency solutions grant. now our housing opportunities for persons with a.i.d.s. programs. with that dissolution of redevelopment agency, the mayor's off -- office of housing the mayor's office has taken this on, as will be in the rfp. as last year our rfp will continue to follow five goals as in the resolution that were approved in the

five-year consolidated plan, so we have no changes in those overall principles. our public service portfolio will not be put out for bid this time, as we are in the middle of a multiyear cycle. workforce development cdbg dollar also be put out for bid, as well as some of the capitol and housing development dollars. we anticipate releasing our request for proposals in november and december, getting back our proposals in december and january. and announcing preliminary recommendations, hopefully in march. in terms of the amount of money coming down from the feds, it is a little unclear. we have looked at what the president, senate and house have proposed.

at worse it looks like will it be flat from what it was in 2012-2013. it is unclear how the effect of this possible sequestration may affect a portion if they don't come to some agreement. we had hoped we might be seeing a slight increase, depending on what happens in the november elections. it is up for grabs. it is different from last year. as you recall the house proposed a very significant reduction. this time both the senate and house if anything proposed a slight increase over what the president proposed. so regardless of the election results, i think that we will probably see flat funding going forward. i take that as good news in this environment. so that's the end of my report and open for

questions. >> you will be back in mar top-notch share with us roughly the allocations. >> yes, i will. >> are there members of the public who wish to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> motion to move forward with recommendation. >> we have a motion to send this forward with recommendation. without objection. >> thank you. >> any other items before us? >> that completes the agenda. >> thank you, we are adjourned.

kicked off our first program lee was here. he helped cut the ribbon and launch with our first companies about 14 months ago, and i one thing i will say before you get up we thought long and hard where we wanted green star located and we knew we wanted it in silicon valley and we wanted to know where they were going to and we believe san francisco is on the way to being the heart and hub of silicon valley and where the heart and the leadership is and we will exciting where it's going and please welcome mayor ed lee. >> thank you mitch. thank you so much. you know innovation is infectious. it's as infectious as giants fever. how about

that? so let me tell you i have been excited ever since i came here and cut the ribbon with mitch a year ago and want to the get back here and see how everything was progressing and guess what? just over a year and a half ago when we first started here and when i started as mayor san francisco unemployment rate was 9.6% and last week six-point 9%. what a flip and a lot of it has to do with all the job creation you're doing right here and i want to congratulate you green start and all the companies starting out here. i like to be next and involved with all of the innovation going on. that is really infectious and i really like that with this city. because there are 208 clean tech companies in san francisco and there are 83 investors and i

think they're all here today. i think we earned the title of north american clean tech group and part of my administration that we support you and we engage with in how to do it better and you're part of my 17 points of job growth in the city. i ran on that as the new mayor in town. by the way i never have ran for public office before so you need to help me look good. i know they're going to work and as mitch said we are the ecosystem. this is how things are happening. this is why people are coming into san francisco. in addition we have a tourist sector going on, life sciences going on. everybody is innovating in the right places and doing it here in san francisco and there is a strong spirit and we will continue growth and jobs everybody. we

want to help everybody out and support each other and that comes to what we do here in san francisco. today i am announcing a new initiative and clean tech sf initiative which we launching with all of you. there are three part it is of this. the first part is we're working with the california clean energy fund. i know jeff anderson is here today as part of them and he's going to be partners with us, and he's partners in every branch that we doing. the first thing we're doing as clean tech sf we will establish innovation zones in san francisco. what does that mean? we asked last time when we were here in san francisco and how can we help? perhaps we can help with the resources that the city doesn't use to the highest use. let's take our space. we have a lot of assets

under utilized. how can we allow the demonstrations that you're having today have a real field test for what they are, and if we could allow ourselves to be very flexible with our leases, our spaces we will allow ourselves to do that with partnership with green start and incubate some of the demonstrationos our property, let's take what we're doing specifically. with our sfpuc, with the department of the environment and melanie is here today and doing a great job with our mos connie center and i know we have a lot of panels up there already but doesn't fill all the roof tops and there is new technology coming out all the time. we have been challenged in the solar technology arena because traditional technology has heavy weight technology that always challenged the integrity

of roof tops, and moscone is the one we found and let that be for one of these companies and light ultralight technology and use, cheaper way of getting solar out there and we're going to allow them to demonstrate their product on top of our mos connie roof and that is an example we're doing in utilizing all of the agency's cooperations and make sure the start ups can use real testing sites in the city. that is thanks to the hardand kelly and the manager at puc and barbara hale and the second thing we're going to do is take a page out of what we're doing with clean tech and biotech life sciences. you see what mission bay is doing. they have for

the last ten years building up a ecosystem of pharmaceutical companies and san francisco medical center and integrated around with the research teams to form a very strong research center and because of that center more and more companies around the world are locating there because they want to be next to the laboratory innovators. they're sharing laboratories, sharing scientists and collaborating and all with solutions about the future of medicine. taking a page out of that why couldn't we do the same thing with clean tech? we want to invite institutions like our california puc, our san francisco puc, our department of the environment, organizations and private institutions like sun run or pg&e to potentially create the network of their innovative sites and their innovative divisions to work

together and potentially in a physical location or just begin networking first, and start working with the major universities and their research entities on their sites so we can start anchoring these institutions within san francisco and create another ecosystem of anchoring institutions. that proved successful in the delivery of pharmaceutical answers to medical challenges. i think it will prove to be helpful here to have them focial exciting center to come and look at and draw the attention i think of even more start ups, and the third part of this clean sf initiative is make sure that we do everything possible to support clean tech start ups. we can do that with partnership with the clean energy fund and our departments

and their funds for grants and help green start with all of these start ups and make sure they know we're supporting them in every way possible, and through that partnership we will come up with even more ideas. this continues to be the innovation capital in the world and i will put that in context and melanie asked me to remind all of you. there is no other city in the united states if not the world that can say they accomplished goals of 80% of all of our garage is being repsyched in san francisco. we will get to 100% in our lifetimes and this i grant you because we have innovators here and people committed. we have investors here to help us with the new ideas. this last 20% of recycling is going to be the hardest but the most enjoyable. this city will continue to innovate. we will embrace clean technologies. we we will

certificate green start and demonstrations that we will see today and october is innovation month and gratifying for those and happy clean tech day in san francisco. thank you very much. [applause] >> it is awesome to have the mayor announce that right here at green start. we are thrilled to be a part of that. it's true a year ago mayor lee asked "what can we do to help?" and we said we have lots of companies that want to test pilot things and deploy things and how can san francisco be a part of that and to see this come together so quickly is incredibly rewarding and testament to the leadership you're providing and san francisco is lucky to have you francisco is lucky to have you as our mayor. thank you
