96 resource recycling -- let's look for entry level jobs the first source of the program, let'ses find entry level jobs and connect the term is qualified economically disadvantaged residence with those opportunities, it was creative at that time it dug deep in identifying zip codes as to hunters point, and 134 in visitation valley and there is a lot of folks that came in through the entry level jobs and a lot of work molded upon that. with 2010, become key elements that supervisor avalos authorized, that is most successful of it's kind any war, a lot of that comes back to the work that does done at peer 96,

for the work we do, we like to talk about jobs for xunts i'm wondering, in the process of going from point a, to b, in this new agreement, there is laning around first source hirement, i was wondering, if we can see an analogous, type of pround program, that was ground breaking if we might see a similar entry level jbs, by the transport of this from a-b agreement. >> it's a good point, the p 96 has been successful hiring 124. i'm thinking about you are talking about the money going into the waste fund to decries die version, goes to san francisco, -- a thousand + people

that work for recology a lot of them are coming from san francisco, that is money that can go in otherwise, we're paying for landfill and transportation, those are teamster jobs that local people can get but we know when we spend money on recycling or composting or especially reuse like we heard from the grantees there is many more jobs per ton of diverted than landfill -- this supports the need for 0, waste, i appreciate your comment, i think we can explore that with recology about how can we support local hiring in their hiring process. >> it's a nice thing for the rate payers too. it's already happening any way. peer 96 is a phenomenal model,

if entry level jobs are created, you said what i was hoping to hear these will be collectively bargained opportunities, the partnerships, for the team steers is a great one for the communities. if there is potential to do that, it's page 28. on this component, it gives the green light for continued innovation, and something that is exiling about this as well. >> i will quickly say there say real opportunity for the future 0 waste facility, this related to that we work with ecology on planning that say separate project, some of this money can go towards the facility and employs people. >> great. thank you. further questions? all right. this is a discussion item.

we can go to public comment. thank you jack. mr. pilpal? >> as an individual i agree with jack's summary, this is complicated, what jack didn't mention is there is litigation over the prior agreement, which people may litigate further, in fact i think there is still one lawsuit, that is at the court of appeal last week we will see what happens with that. you know i spend a lot of time reading this and thinking about these issues. and i am not clear in my mind whether this is the best approach, a lot of me thinks, that the waste we generate in the city, we should bring it to the local landfill rather than

transportation -- hay road is the next one out. at the same time i think the rate payers shouldn't pay more than necessary, and we should minimize other environmental impacts, so eyou get into weighting, different criteria and coming up with the best solution with admittedly, all bad solutions, we shouldn't be sleping things to landfills, that's where we are right now, hopefully, we will get to 0 waste and not have substantial contribution to landfill maybe residual, maybe not that. this is to repurr pose -- that's a big plan that started environmental review will you be hearing more about that i'm

sure in the future. the only real concerns i have with the agreement as i read through it are in a couple of sections, that suggest that variety city actors, in the department environment or dpw should recommend and approve certain rate applications, or components of the rate application, i think that might interfere with the powers and duties of the initiative ordinance, i think -- as to rates and changes in the fees, but binding the city to take pos, seems to me like it moves over the line of the initiative ordinance, i can point to specific prosituations at that point, i'm excited by the sustainability fee, and the 0

waste account i'm familiar with the special reserve fund, and i understand general loo what the would be under the agreement, and having separate meeting to talk about these things, so others in this room can talk about this i assure you there is a lot of this room not caring about this. this commission could set a limit for particular contracts you want approval authority for you haven't set approval authority for a contract like this, or the grant awards you made, you could say any contract over 50 or 100,000, that you want to see and approve as most other commissions have done, you can give yourself that authority. >> thank you very much mrr pilpal. >> thank you.
