would better inform us to continue this dialogue. >> when does her leave start? >> she is not leaving -- no. [laughter ] >> she is gone now. [laughter ] >> she has already left. she knew i was going to say that. so let me work with the staff and give you an update when we feel that we get to an approach of what we feel timelines of what we want to do, because there are moving parts. one is the main focus we're working on is the wiener legislation. so we actually may even do a hearing on that legislation and how that impacts us. so we have to work on that. and then, you know, we're going to look more at the marin model, and the job component, and how that would look like if we were to do that? and that will help inform, if we should model

something like sonoma. so we just need to talk about those things amongst ourselves and come up with what we think is a good plan. >> everybody okay with that? it's not crystal clear, but i think it's general. >> i'm good. >> commissioner ryan? vice president moller caen? i apologize for prematurely moving. i was thinking ahead, but that certainly wasn't intention. public comment is closed unless there is further public comment. if you would indulge the chair, the purpose of this next comment is to entertain a motion to table items 19 through 26. but i don't want to be in violation of any of the rules. so if it's a requirement that the secretary read into the record the items that were scheduled and agenda eyesed

agendized for closed session and for me to call public comment on those items and then move to table the following items, then let's do it that way. >> city attorney's office, it's the commission president's discretion to take a matter off calendar unless there were a motion by three other commissioners to insist that we proceed with those matters so you don't need to have the commission secretary call the item, if the idea is that we're going to adjourn the meeting now and not go into closed session. you can simply make that call and if no one moves to overrule you to hear the items, then it's done. >> that is why we have lawyers. if there are no objections, i'm going to adjourn this meeting. [ gavel ] meeting is adjourned.

proud we've done so on a number of occasions whether this was pension reformer are or the housing trust fund or a number of general obligation bonds we'll have in the past we've had a united effort this was well work out it when you get a consensus to raise minimum wage that will be the highest minimum wage in this country. we will remain progressive and i want to specifically thank our supervisors and i know as of last night supervisor jane kim spent an which they recalled amount of time loans with the representatives of our fair committee but in particular we wanted at the beginning to work with the supervisors and i'm very glad that supervisor kim

took up the challenge she put in the hours to work and i want to introduce her not only has helped us do this she's been on the forefront of a lot of issues for the city. supervisor jane kim (clapping) >> thank you. mr. mayor and i can't tell you how happy i am am to be here san francisco is once again setting the bar for emphasis economic agenda we're doing it together. i'm proud to be here with the mayor the buyer board of supervisors, labor our nonprofit leaders and the chamber of commerce. united to bring forward a proposal inform the voters of san francisco the most progressive and strongest minimum wage proposal in this proposal all san francisco

employers will be paying $15 by 2018 this is pure wages that san francisco workers will be bringing hoyt home despite setting the prototype in the city in the last two years in particular we've been seeing a widening inflict gap between our lottery and highest paid worker no one should be left behind an economy that is so successful some be able to benefit. when the mayor and the board committed to creating more jobs in san franciscan it was not about creating just any jobs but with health care it was not only allowing our workers to afford to live in santa fe san francisco but support their families i want to acknowledge the labor and workers they've

been clear in leading issues to protect our protecting workers they fought for sick day and no other city considered those landmark lacks foundation now cities are joining san francisco's ranges san francisco has a lot of to the proud of not only are we pushing the boundary within the boundary of san francisco but impacting the lives of workers throughout the country our president made a call to raise the national minimum wage but if congress can't do it localities should it's simple and clear and i and i'm confident san franciscans will proudly vote for the measure there are so many people the mayor and mayor's office the

nonprofit leaders that were committed and, of course, labor and workers that have been waiting for the wage even as different that was no one wanted to walk away from bringing this proposal to the city. i'm very proud thank you. (clapping.) >> the coalition for fair economy has been working the streets late and you've seen them on the street corners we were cognizant of that let me be clear now that we've made the agreement there are no two different measures this year's only one measure wisp able to contact and start negotiations with this coalition there were compromises that should had to be made and reality if that

checked in and we were fortunate we were able to catch each other to make sure we connected in the base ass basis and the relative to be sure there are no longer two measures before the public that was a possibility up underlining until a few weeks ago i'm glad to introduce charleston who's been representing the coalition her staff and volunteers were talking to workers and making sure that the economy was not going to get away from them but also making sure they made contact with us as well. ma'am. (clapping.) good afternoon >> i'm here representing the

campaign for a broad coalition for labor i'm not sorry who have collectively been representing over one hundred thousand workings we fought for the original 2003 minimum wage increase which set the bar across the country and which has been model by cities and states for minimum wage basically as well as health care laws. and we're very proud of that work but as mentioned by that mr. mayor and supervisor kim the minimum wage as to it stands far too low and 10 years later the same things that compelled us to raise the minimum wage are working today in san francisco we see the workers are falling behind in rent and when the

average one bedroom agreement is 2 thousand plus per month workers can't live here and have long term futures in the city so many are homeless and worker two or three jobs and living in cramped rooms with shared kitchens or living with three or four or 6 people in agreement to pay the rents. san francisco should not be leading the country as the number one faster growing city that's not the legacy we want to leave so we are pleased to be standing with the coalition with the mayor's office and the board of supervisors and other groups to reach the consensus measure. our consensus measure will raise the bar by getting all workers to $15 in 200128 and insure that

no minimum wage worker in san francisco goes without on increase over one hundred thousands of our lowest paid worker will benefit it puts hundreds of millions of into worker wages money going directly to local businesses and fuels our economy. i want to put into prospective what that means the campaign is made up of organizations that fight for the lowest minimum wage workers get a decent chance of thriving in san francisco around many policies around housing and health care and education. for people in may day of 2015 theirs to see a pay increase been $240 a month that is a different between paying for

health care or paying rent. and within 4 years time as we get to $15 an hour that's putting $9,000 a year into the pocket of protecting workers it's not everything but it reduces the stress. so the campaign for fair economy wants to recognize supervisor jane kim and mayor edwin lee in raising the issue and bringing the city together to fight for a unified coalition and thank you to the worker the fast food workers across the industry put tare livelihoods on the edge to

raise the minimum wage and we're proud that san francisco, california join the fight and help to lead the fight. i also wanted to say that we know for our workers sometimes $20 makes a different between paying the bus or paying rent. we're confident that the voters will support this measure finally, i want to say we're pleased that the mayor's office and supervisor kim has made a commitment to continue to increase the minimum wage we're going to make sure this is enforced so we have the resources and the tools needed to make sure that employers that minority employers that often my try to cheat the workers are held accountable. thank you very much.

>> (clapping.) >> i'm very proud of the city as you've learned our unemployment rate went down to 4 point percent latinos that's the lowest in the country we want to continue to employ people in the private and public sectors and nonprofits as well and a partner wanted to make sure that you knew that working on this particular task was extra sensitive for the san francisco chamber of commerce but their proud you have we, in fact, had a consensus let me trolley mr. wade rose who is representing the san francisco chamber of commerce. (clapping.) >> mayor ed lee and supervisor kim and supervisors we the

business community are police department mr. reginald that a single ballet measure had been appearing in november to ask the folks of san francisco whether or not they want to support an expansion and growth in the minimum wage. the issue about the discussions we were involved with and have been involved it come down to the observation that a compromise is a precious idea that has to be experienced to be healthy that we think that the consensus built up around this measure residents will be voting on we've reached the compromise. one of the kind of facts of san francisco which is not well understood because we're bless to be a headquarter city and a huge amount of high tech are

coming in is that 80 percent of the 6 hundred thousand people who are employed in san francisco are employed by small and medium businesses businesses often less than 20 people, 80 percent in the twitters or the pg&e. it's the folks who have put themselves open the lineup to put a business together and make employment available that are impacted by this the most so our concerns as a business origins to make sure that the process when was agreed to in the compromised reflected their concerns from a business prospective which means whatever the amount had to be phased in it had to be within the means of people who to afford as business owners 0 write paychecks to people who work in san francisco. we've arrived at the at a that

venture and up to the people of san francisco but we're pleased many the consensus is reached and the work of mayor ed lee and the work of the supervisor kim and the other supervisors and entities within san francisco that are pushing the issues and we look forward to november. thank you very much (clapping) >> you know, as i said early consensus building is not a easy task i want to shout out to someone on my staff that's been working extra extra hours to keep my texts and phone calls alive to make sure idealogy with everyone in the room and more people that represented them and that's jason elliott thank you jason for the work you're doing here (clapping) and then i'd like to thank you for the opportunity to invite any of our elected officials or

members of podium to express their viewpoints and get ready for - >> one minute. >> good and if i speak - >> (laughter). but again, we look forward to the discussion with the voting public this is an exciting discussion something that the entire city is proud of so again, thank you very much everyone >> this lodge is home to some of the best fly casting pools in the world. these shallow concrete pools don't have fish.
