coming forward. i take it both ways, meet people here in the hallway, on the street or in my office, whatever way we do it. let's go down and just check the seats we have. we have all but six, i think. one, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. one, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7. that's six seats. i made this matrix, this piece of paper i can't seem to find but hillen is only up for one. i would -- we only have 4 and 5. my recommendation is that we go with hillen for 1, sherwin is only going to be available for

4 or 5. is it possible to put loman in another one besides 4 or 5? that would be a way -- that would bump probably mr. sullivan or miss akita from those seats to be able to keep a district 11 resident. >> sandy sherwin did email earlier this week and i forwarded to you, she does qualify for seat 7 as well. >> that puts us in a bind, too. colleagues, i welcome your motions. >> so i am prepared to support hillen in seat no. 1, sullivan, seat no. 2, kita, seat no. 2, flannigan, seat no. 4, dr. loman, seat no. 5, hillsen,

seat no. 7. >> okay, supervisor tang. >> thank you. i would say again although i am more familiar with dr. loman's work and i think she is incredible, i do understand supervisor avalos's desire to have a district 11 appointee on this, so i am willing to cede my recommendation for seat 5 to miss sherwin again with the understanding that i believe dr. loman will toipb do amazing things in the community and really around the world. even without her presence on this council. >> okay, well, i really appreciate that and given the comments from supervisor cohen right now i think we can get consensus on that as well. so if you want to make that motion, if hillen for 1, sullivan, 2, kita, 3, flannigan

4,. >> through the chair, make that recommendation with a positive recommendation to the full board of supervisors. >> i second that motion. >> okay, colleagues, thank you very much, i appreciate your flexibility and we'll take that without objection. okay, we have one more item before us. >> item no. 7 is a resolution amending the administrative code to extend the city's hiring policy and (inaudible). >> okay, this is a resolution that i have submitted and before us, we had actually passed a similar resolution last year as well and this is regarding our local hire ordinance. the ordinance actually discusses ramping up eligibility for local hiring from 5 percent a year the requirement from 5 percent a year starting from year 1 i believe was 20 percent going up 5 percent. right now we're at

30 percent and what we found as we are seeing construction boom both in the public and the private sector that we are actually able to put a lot of people to work but we also are doing an evaluation to how well the program is functioning, what the experiences of all the different players involved from the developers, contractors to our training center as well as our work force pipeline. so we're still gathering data on that. we also expanded our local hire mandate to private sector development on public land so we know that we're actually expanding the places where people can find work. so in a way the percentage is not as critical while we're seeing that expansion happen. it could be important later to lift that but right now we're going to keep it at 30 percent according to this resolution so we can continue to gather data

and make sure the program is running effectively. we have mr. pat mulligan here who is with work force development programs with the city and he can give us further background on legislation before us. you've been here all day so we have to have you come forward and thank you for your help in making these programs work. >> thank you, supervisor avalos. this recommendation was in part a by product of a market analysis as well as input from the mayor's construction work force advisory committee, as well as supervisor avalos. just to kind of reiterate some of your comments. there's a considerable amount of pressure on the local construction work force because of all the private development as well as the large infrastructure projects. there's currently 5 active construction projects in san francisco valued in excess of a billion dollars. we have nearly 40 tower cranes up. there is not another municipality within the united

states of our size of under a million people that comes anywhere close. this is construction activity that is more consistent with new york or chicago. also we're still trying to gauge the potential impact of last year's expansion of local hire to private development on public property. the first major project along those lines will be pier 70 in district 10. it's nearly a billion dollars worth of private development, all falling under local hire ordinance. also there's enhanced first source requirements on a number of major projects which is also something that developed after the introduction of local hire provisions, so both on california pacific medical center as well as for park merced development which will be coming forward. in addition just last year also the unified school district adopted local hire provisions as well, so as much as this is really positive but

it also creates additional pressure on the local work force and it's really exceptional construction economy. and lastly, and this is as recent as last week, as most know who are following the mandatory local hire ordinance, there's an exemption for projects that receive federal funds. several of the projects have been led through the mta, the municipal transportation organization, sfo, fta, federal dollars, they are exempt from mandatory local hire ordinance. very recently the u.s. department of transportation has amended regulations to allow local hire provisions on projects with the fha, pilot program beginning february 24th of last month and outcomes will be evaluated to determine further guidance. so mta is

actively involved in setting language forth for one project already. it will be the brt bus rapid transit project on dennis avenue, so just outside of city hall, from mission street all the way to bay street. and i wouldn't be surprised if this is certainly one of the first projects in the united states with mandatory local hire provisions on it. >> wow. >> precedent setting. i think since many of the local hire provisions throughout the united states have been modeled after san francisco, it really puts us in a leadership position around this. >> all part of obama's amworks program? >> i'm afraid to speculate but there's something going on. there's some consistency around the policies but it's really encouraging that san francisco has been in the leadership role around this. all the more important for us to ensure the continued success of this program. >> thank you. >> thank you.

>> and thank you for all your work. i actually have been very impressed with the level of work that, interacting with all the different agencies and players and the unions in this effort and it's been pretty great to see. >> well, we have really strong legislative tools that have been provided to us by the board of supervisors. thank you for all of your continued support. >> thank you. >> so this item we can open up for public comment. if any member of the public wants to enter the room and provide public comment and seeing the doors not open, we will close further comment and colleagues i would love to have your support to just make sure that we are putting this pause in continuing it to be able to collect that information needed to be sure we can really make improvements to this program that may be needed. >> absolutely. >> okay so we have a motion from supervisor tang. >> through the chair, happy to support this, thank you for

bringing it forth. i would like to bring this forward to the full board with a positive recommendation as a committee report. >> thank you. second from supervisor cohen. >> absolutely. >> we will take that, colleagues, without objection. thank you, everyone, i think that's our last item but before we adjourn i do want to thank sfgtv staff for their work broadcasts, jim smith and jessie larson, i would also like to thank our clerk for her work and mr. gibner as well. thank you. >> everyone. (meeting adjourned).

>> can everybody hear me thank you for hosting us all i'm john the councilmember gloria vice president and along with my much nor talented colleagues and megan our program managers i offer see the responsibility of

zen detect when we they moved no inviting one of the things we've heard loud and clear was the importance of the hiring locally and many technology growing companies we're distancing in search of specific talents those are hard to find in the bay area in the neighborhood of san francisco but as you sit here now detection has a great relationship with the office of economic workforce development and currently sits on the investment board this is where we learned ambassador tech sf graduation and the local jobs training program to provide relevant skills several

conversations led us to the realized the faster way to create zen dick technology to train the san franciscans on our product that will fast track them to an important job in as you sit here now deck some of the tens of thousands of people that use as you sit here now deck if not employed while having still have a foundation in customer support and experience as well as the state of the art i'm to introduce mayor ed lee that as you sit here now deck has a terrific relationship the mayor ed lee has impressed on the importance of job creation like the opening up pathways in the tech industry

so welcome mayor ed lee (clapping) john thank you for that introduction and i'm glad to be here and this is great to see this is the third cohort of our folks coming through tech sf he want to go through the boat came but jonas passionate as i am i've not had to work that hard as you sit here now deck and it is a lot of passion for the building of strong neighborhoods thank you to the leadership give my best to the entire staff there because as strons as passionate in the job training for the 21st century jobs we need partners

that are more experienced as you that kind of citizens of volunteerism is takes the hours and weekends and the attitude to folks that are in the community looking to see if they can gain skill sets with the new jobs and what they're doing in the clooks with tech sf starbucks a good training for people to see i have the confidence i don't have to be at the best engineering schools to get a job and we've often said the tonnage industry establishments 4 or 5 jobs in their applications or establishing all the technology

kinds of industries we're also seeing happen in middle school middle market and throughout the city it is one of the many what did you say and he know that as you sit here now deck is not only focused on job training a huge amount of philanthropic work for the lowest incomes and the institutions allowing for the use of community space as a reflection of they're very strong volunteerism within the community agreement and their work is great because along with my again friend benny hoff set the standard for what we want to happy in the city and we need it technology for many years and i think people in the room remember those are room we

talked about the digital divide how we'll be able to catch with tomcast or those internet essentials they're providing or 12 companies they're going so fast he didn't think the jobs were going to be driver's license we need this link if you will, so those jobs i emphasis your programmers you can be folks helping with customer service center to be of great support and those days more and more as companies establish their companies they need the mechanism and this is why the third and i hope tenth cohorts of trainers that come

out with the skill sets to repeating really join in a comfortable way the movement towards the digital jobs that are present here in the city and that we also will signal to the companies that i look forward to their literally going through tech sf and hiring the folks that are out the basic training i'm all for a what he can excitingly see those weeks of boat camping is allotting a truly a boat camp you're going right into job opportunity there and our tech companies don't have to be looking across the water but right here in san francisco and be part the promise that the prosperity in the city can be shared with those basic things we're doing

honoring training and having an open door policy and having a good neighbor policy and go benefits as forefront as the success of a company as getting their points out and designed and engineered and sold i can't thank supervisor kim enough she's a strong advocate we start this confidence about mid-market and seeking strong, strong indications coming to fruition not everything is there it takes time we have a lot of folks on line their k59 their support i love the fact we're beginning to focus on the staff black women and other different groups that we know have gaps in their ability to connect up with our technology industry and with

other jobs more and more we're seeing the technology into the health care industry the hospitality address the local manufacturers you can't see a line of manufacturers without the ipad overlay and censoring autopsying all the aspects of merchandising so this is a great year to embrace those kinds of programs and thankful to the bay area coalition as well as tech sf for joining us as a city and partnering up with as you sit here now deck so provide support and congratulations (clapping.) >> thank you mayor ed lee for being here today. >> thank you to your staff and as you sit here now deck and especially to all the students who are graduating today from the zen deck train and i'm the

executive director it is a pleasure to see you when we partnered with czechoslovakia deck with the employer driven training it makes sense because not only because we're the coordinator for the city of san francisco but because they've actually been providing employer driven technically e tech and media industry for more than 15 years i was chatting with the folks and we trained folks from places like mother jones and all kinds of tech and media companies other than the city and we've been doing this for many years in many, many ways and another thing offering networking event like gloun this is something we came up with to provide opportunity for contract workers or who are newly trained
