most city advertising agreements require companies to remit to the city of higher of a minimum annualuaranteed or percentage of gross revenues of least 40%. however, the agreement between dpw and the company only requires 7% advertising revenues to be permitted to this city. this next slide is a chart that illustrates the differences in revenue generated by different contracts. in 2009, clear channel generated a net annual revenue of $7.6 million wear asjc d ececuax -- the airport received $6.7 million whereas the department of public works only received half a million dollars. therefore, -- supervisor campos: that is 7%? >> there's a base pay -- there is a base payment plus 7%. therefore, we recommend the department of public works actually try to negotiate amendments to the existing agreement and include some kind of incentive because they're obviously making money and may now want to remit some much money to the city, but if we increase the number of commercial kiosks' they can install, we could increase revenues to the city. supervisor farrell: you have obviously been working with

hurwitz: currently, city tunnel 1 and city tunnel number 2 would be feeding each half of the city. so you'd lose half the city if you didn't have a replacement. narrator: without half of its water supply, the city would shut down. for nearly 40 years, new york has been in the process of constructing a solution. man: this project is water tunnel number 3. we started on this project in 1969. i'm a sandhog. i've been a sandhog for 37 years. narrator: sandhogs are the men of local 147, who work deep below the city. they began building the infrastructure of new york in 1872. from the subways to the sewers, the water tunnels to the highway tunnels, new york city thrives because of their work. ryan: you got one little hole in the ground, and nobody knows we're here. see the empire state building, right. that's 1,000 feet. so you figure, you go down 1,000. how high that is -- that's how far we go down. narrator: stretching more than 60 miles under the city, tunnel 3 is taking generations of workers to complete. ryan: i don't even want to imagine what my father had to go through. when we fi

great walking city on flat ground. i do not want to be a sweaty mess, walking over russian hill or telegraph hill when i am dressed up, because i am trying to go downtown. new york is a lot flatter. you can walk further. there are times for exercise, but there are also times when you would rather not do strenuous exercise. thank you for what you are doing. commissioner borden: a lot to think about. commissioner antonini can talk to his republican friends in congress about giving us more funding for subways, but without federal funds i do not see it happening. we have dedicated bus lines in some places. in others, we do not have dedicated bus lanes. the bus gets into the bus stop zone, and nobody wants to let it back onto the road. one car with one person thinks they are more important than a bus with 50 people, which is mind blowing, but whatever. around the transit effective this project, i wanted to hear with where that is installed and how the goals here fitansit effs projects -- >> currently, we are about to go thr

the city. s.p.a. is just now rolling out a program for r -- will be the case by the summer. let me get one last point and on the question about relationships to lenders. the question was, do have to have an account with a bank in order to get a loan? may answer is no, but the real answer to it is certainly want to do that. one of the things we see as an important thing for you, as a small-business person to establish a relationship with a lender on a variety of levels before you look for funding. part of that is opening an account with them, letting a lender know about your business, understand your business, talk to them as you are growing your business. when the economy is strong, all lenders are shopping for transactions. in times are tough on credit, you want to rely on those deeper liberation ships with your lender. you want to develop a relationship with a lender. it is the case where you want to open up an account, while to have another bank services that you want to have a relationship

i am not sure, madam city attorney. should we adopt this minutes before the hearing, or should we adopt them after

workers who work for the city. with that, i would like to read our findings. we have five findings. the first finding, under the traditional class-based testing, an applicant has the right to appeal to the commission at almost every point during the examination process. an applicant taking a position based testing can appeal only three points in the process. these differences can be confusing to the applicant. recommendation one, on all job applicants -- applications, there should be a single link or a single sheet of paper outlining in plain english under what conditions the job application can appeal to human resources and ultimately to the civil service commission. finding two, dhr is not always in forming applicants of their rights to appeal decisions of the hr director to the civil service commission. recommendation two, dhr should establish tighter procedures to ensure that all letters sent to applicants and denying their appeal are mailed properly. where appropriate, they should apply applicants of their rig

it is about us and our city. i want to make sure that you know that as you deliberate and recommend to me and the board of supervisors, the police chief, hydra, know that it is no longer a recommendation for the city. we are in international city. your recommendations will be viewed around the world, not just in san francisco. it will be around the world in hundreds of difference of languages -- in hundreds of different languages. we realize we're not just a city of san francisco in the state of california. we are san francisco, known throughout the world to provide leadership and hope to provide many other countries in the world. what you say will be heard around the world. note that. please stand and raise your right hand. police say your full name and repeat after me. i, full name, do solidly a firm that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states and the constitution of the state of california against all enemies foreign and domestic, that i will bear true faith and allegiance to the const

the city responded. you want to thank and lee, now mayor ed lee, and our supervisors for their big ship and support. many hours were spent collaborating. not only amongst advocates and service providers, but the residents themselves. every day we hear from residents the openly -- they openly expressed their struggles being limited in this profession and how difficult language is to services and knowing their rights. language access is critical, and we will continue to work to make the city as accessible to all residents. now it is time for our communities to heal. we know that when communities come together to work toward positive change, the more understanding results. as a city, we can not become complacent. it is through programs like the community ambassadors that neighbors get to know when each other, where children and families do not live in fear when they step outside their homes. all residents deserve to be safe, respected, live with dignity, no matter what they but they are from. we call on the

this is 25% of the land area of my city. -- of our city. it occupies more land area than the other streets combined. this plan that was adopted by the board last year actually creates a template and a guide for how we create better >> i think we're approaching an interesting new era in the city's history pit of the projects that you will hear about today are projects that truly represents a new era in the city's history. i am also seen, almost four years here, we're also seeing an interesting new dynamic in the city and in city government that i have to mention. my colleagues here, monique, ed, jennifer, and others have really formed a partnership to recognize the benefits and the value of working together. as was said earlier, all things are connected. it is my job to make sure that we connect those things that we are all working on and making sure that, at least through stronger growth, more equitable and sustainable growth for the city for the future. i am optimistic. and i think i would like to ask you all in -- you all to join a sign t

i said, do you want to be in the city? yes, i want to be in the city. they were asking me about twitter. they play some of the zynga games. they did not know that their headquarters were here, but they need to know that, growing up. we want the chinese companies to also use san francisco as their headquarters and to continue to be the gateway. people love that about the city. asian families, the matter their income -- they could be a hotel workers, garment workers, for ceo's, they all want -- or ceo's, they all want a quality city. my job is to make sure they trust government, so that when we say something, we do it. what i do not like it, and past relationships with the government, they could not do what they said. that is where the mistrust comes out. that is why i am going around talking to every community possible. if i can take care of it, i will tell them. if i cannot, i will tell them honestly. i think honesty in government is the most important thing right now, especially at three are trying to build quality for the city. that is how i will appr

we draw our inspiration from being a diversity, a beautiful city to live in, and an international cityit is a place where people come to discuss and nurture new ideas. we are important people, always working to make things better. it is in that spirit that i want to talk about our efforts on central market. i made revitalizing central market a signature economic development initiative, and the keystone is the central market payroll tax exclusion. the payroll tax exclusion incentivizes companies to both invest in midmarket and create jobs. i want to recognize supervisor kim and board president david hitchiu for their work with me. this is part of a broader strategy that includes redesigning the street and sidewalks for the better market street initiative. that is a streetscape overhaul that will result in a more attractive, walkable, and business-friendly corridor. the project is in its planning phase right now, and it will be implemented from the ferry building two octavia boulevard in 2015. and the street is -- when the street is repaid. public safety enhancements along market street.

as a former city administrator, he knows the city inside and out. he has spearheaded sufficiency measures, moved towards greater government services, prepared for emergency management in times of disaster, and work toward inclusion of all people in this multi-cultural city. he is so well-respected that the board of supervisors unanimously appointed him. this is quite a statement in the tumultuous political times. with that, let us all welcome and a yearly -- well, mayor lee. >> thank you. good morning. we're honored to was the asia- pacific economic cooperative cooperation here in our great city. i want to welcome you to san francisco, which was recently named the greenness city in north america. this gathering is the perfect opportunity to renew our push for the future that is independent from foreign oil, and to take the steps necessary for a more secure, sustainable, and prosperous future. we're doing our part here in san francisco. san francisco is proud to be a transit-first city. we favor using public transportation or walking or riding bikes

that is a wonderful contribution to our city. the commitments being made from the tech companies to be part of this great city served as an economic foundation for our whole approach to welcoming technology companies. in addition to twitter and zendesk, we have autodesk. i have been meeting with them every six months because every six months, i think they are going to expand another 25,000 or 30,000 square feet. he wants to expand the product he has with the new three- dimensional use by literally everyone in the entertainment industry as well as the building industry, making the product completely successful. that adds to zynga and mozilla and all the other tech companies moving in, so i am convinced that tech -- san francisco remains the industry leader. of the 4.6 million square feet of office space that was least in the last eight months, in 2011, 1.6 million square feet of office space was leased by technology firms alone. these include twitter, zendesk autodesk, dropbox and kabam. technology is also an important driver in o

and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built u

rebate is really wonderful, because we're one of the few cities that does offer a city rebate. think we can make it more attractive by expanding this to documentary's and unscripted television programming, otherwise known as reality programming. the main thrust of this is we want to bring more jobs to the city and more jobs to the local economy. what happens is when these productions are shooting here, they do have a certain amount of people that stay in hotels. they use local production services, and they ultimately bring or exposure to san francisco, which helps bring more tourists. we would really like to expand this to documentary and unscripted television programming in order to attract more of the productions. we have recently had a number of documentary series that have called us and son are we eligible for your rebate program? at this point we have not been. that was one of the reasons for considering adding documentary's to the rebate. we also have had more and more very high-budget reality programs interested in shooting in san francisco, some of which we got of some

it has a very big impact for the city, not only for the health needs of the city, but also the physical impact, the transportation in fact, the community needs and have it has in outlining the neighborhood divisions that it impacts where the proposed site is. i want to thank you for the question. i am happy to report that we have made good progress towards the community benefits goal that i laid out previously. we reached this point only after well over a year of discussion between and among the numerous stakeholders in this project. as you know, the stakeholders include more than just the cpmc staff. i understand and acknowledge that concerns have been raised from stakeholders around the project, but i also understand the tremendous benefits the project could bring in the form of jobs and the additional revenue that i could -- that it could bring in. to move the product forward in a manner consistent with the needs of san francisco residents and to make sure that the pluses of the project out weigh the minuses, i have proposed a set of community benefits relating to health care for the

city's early pioneers. when lily died in the 1920's, as you've been told, her bequest is what built this tower, to beautify the city she loved. little did she or anyone recognize that this memorial would beautify the city but also become one of its iconic images. in the 1920's, a group of neighbors formed the pioneer park project and raised funds to build the new stairways you see here and you can visit the pioneer parks display over here on the west side that will announce phase two, to deal with the plantings on the north side. they have a credit card machine and are willing to take donations. if there say message in this commemoration of lily coit's gift to us three quarters of a century to us i suggest it be a reminder of the importance of civic pride, to honor the history of volunteerism, to help the city in times of need, and believe me our parks are in a time of need, in small or large ways, support your parks and open spaces, appreciate the contribution the parks make to the extraordinary quality of

it consumes 16 of the city budget and they should be required to hold their hearings in city hall and televise them. it is just as important to have that the commission meetings on tv. i would also ask you to consider the process of drafting language for city charter change to increase the commission membership by four. that is a long, convoluted process to write the language and move it through the board. the sooner you began writing that, i ask that you consider including in such a reform measure, not just the membership, but other aspects that the family has been trying to move through the sunshine task force and to find a sponsor on the board of supervisors to deal with several transparency issues in city government. finally, the recommendation that you delay holding a hearing at this body on enforcement of sunshine actions, i respectfully disagree with them. i think the board of supervisors should try to be involved in the process of the process sees that will be worked out between the ethics commission and that this is an opportune time for you to be involved in that, rather tha

we have been working with the city and the city's performance is an incredible asset to us. their ability to show that they are doing things in an unconventional way in terms of all hands on deck and marsh marshalling all the resources to have the environmental review done on a very aggressive schedule in a way that shows community engagement. those that are on deck is really a testimony to the city family's dedication to the effort. it is that type of performance that gives our donors the confidence it will be done in the san francisco way. >> [inaudible]. >> mike martin with the city office of economic and workforce development. good morning, thanks for coming in today. i want to follow up sort of the prior two speakers by saying a lot of our focus today was on taking a step outside of any specific step forward or announcement to give a preview of what is coming this fall. from our perspective i think we've started to see the pictures of what this event is coming together on the water and i think it really sort of symbolizes what we are feeling at the city in terms of putt
