residents to work, to make sure that we can actually fuel our local economy by hiring local people. that's what the essence of local higher has been and what it was about. we had a big change. we had to go from good faith efforts of the past to create a mandatory requirement on local hire and change was not easy. i cannot say enough about how much community and labor worked together to make local hire happen. it was the carpenters union, it was the laborers, bright line defense. there were contractors, asian contractorsant latino contractors, contractors large and small to make this legislation happen. it was that kind of unity that really was successful in creating this great change. that was just one part, though, was creating legislation, getting it past the board of supervisors was one part. the greater part of it has been making sure the implementation happens and mayor lee, rhonda simmons, naomi kelly get so much credit in making that happen. we would not have been that successful as we have been without that great effort. so we're seeing now what the goal was for this past ye

to local distribution chains. these organizations help local producers to successfully meet local service area opportunities, provide technical support, recruit, education and assist local producers to advance local farming opportunities. it would also enhance the growing movement toward buying local products and ensure that we support local producers in that effort. i also have two other amendments related to rural development which i will not offer today. but i wanted to discuss the importance of rural development programs for supporting rural economies and creating good jobs. one of the amendments would encourage production of darely produ -- dairy products. the other amendment that i will talk about briefly would add much needed clarity to the rural development programs may fund new opportunities as part of economic development not just annual production loans, federal r and d dollars can funnel much needed investments in rural economies if authority were granted to r and d funding to support new businesses wi

local hire increased 70% in the first year. with respect to the project itself, we share a lot of the concerns that have been raised about the project. but i cannot overstate the importance of this project for our unemployed tradespeople, who are sitting idle. we aren't a period it where we are in protracted unemployment and construction. the cpmc is a private project, it complemented by creating a lot of jobs for a lot of workers. it is at the point when the concerns were real. the potential for a larger st. luke's, increased charity care, an important part of this discussion. some of the things we will be looking at, we do agree with all the discussion around construction local hiring and asking our labor partners to stop them and help us get our folks to work. the non-construction conversation has taken a back seat. 40 is too low, we want to see that increase. we're also talking with our partners in labor on some exciting ideas and around the construction of local hiring program. we think it would be appropriate to have the

somersault and bellport liquors. >> i bought local wine in a local liquor store.hat also supports the commune. >> the method for selecting a small business to be cash mobbed is simple. >> first off they need to be locally owned and independently operated and secondly they need to give back to the community. i think the second part is something you can't fake. you can't say i'm going to start sponsoring a team, bring a cash mob to my business so i can do this. we generally look for people who have a longstanding commitment to their communities. >> afterwards, andrew encourages the cash mob participants to hang out at a local watering hole. >> they do their shopping and they congregate again so they can relax and have drunks. there's an old saying you're not friends with people you like, you're friends with people you do things with. >> a cash mobç can give a selected small business a shot in the arm and some much-needed exposure and support. especially when business is slow. >> if a local business isrely ing on a cash mob to save it, there's probably bigger proble

261 and local 22 and the operating engineers, i see you all here today.hank you for your participation. without all of these partner ships, we would not have been able to successfully achieve this first year of implementing the local hire policy. i also want to introduce the mayor who under his leadership when he first game the mayor a year ago, it was very important to him to create jobs here in san francisco and to make sure that our local residents are going -- that our local residents are having opportunities to have are employment here in san francisco. and it's his support with the board of supervisors and all of the departments that he is very -- that he is here today to announce our great progress with local hire. so mayor ed lee. [applause] >> thank you, naomi. welcome, everybody, to this wonderful occasion. about a year ago, supervisor avalos and i and a number of other hopeful departments and union leadership and community people gathered together at a playground to announce the beginning of an ordinance that we both worked very hard on. and we

the local stations are utilizing online now for a depth of local news that isn't practical on air. so there is barely ten minutes that goes by in a broadcast of a local independent or affiliate station that does not refer to their website for more in-depth video footage, etc. so actually, i think the local -- i agree, local content remains for most consumers first and foremost where they go as opposed to just a broader national feed. and the local stations on the whole, i think we're seeing just the beginning of it. i think you will see those local stations actually adapt to these video apps that others are doing and it will only proliferate. >> we have the tv viewers. 59 to 40 women watch more tv. online women beat out men 53-47 for videos. 50/50 for smart phones. and the tablet owners are the only categories where the men are ahead, 53-47. do you see that changing as well? where do you see that going? >> no, i don't see that changing. >> why is that? >> actually, we see very broad distribution of video and the usage on every device. if you mean do i think the tablet disparity? >>

what good is local hire if there is no work? cpmc will be able to continue to provide health care to san franciscans. the new building will be seismically safe. we need to keep the jobs in san francisco. this project will allow us to do so. that is why we need the city to approve the rebuild of cpmc. it will create more opportunities and more programs just to give people out of work and people in this second chance a new lease on life. to help people take care of their families. i think it is a win-win for everybody. i appreciate it if everybody would vote yes. thank you. >> let me read a few more names. [reading names] >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm the executive director for the mission neighborhood centers. our organization has submitted a letter to each one of view and i would like to take a brief couple of minutes to read the content at this time. the letter is addressed to president fong. it reads as follows. on behalf, i respectfully extend this letter of support to on behalf of california pacific medical center an

if they get jobs, they will spend locally, which is how we support the local economy. i want you to know that i am a big fan of sf made. i want more things manufactured in the city. whether it is chocolates, fashion, accessories, things that we can sell. the more that we can manufacture in the city, we have lost blue- collar, we do not have that anymore, but there are other things that we can manufacture, including technology that has a chance for international markets. the other thing i am trying to do is make sure that our city appreciates the international status that we have. so that the more tourists who come here and take up the different events, be it the america's cup, or the fisherman's wharf, we have a chance to sell technology overseas and make that much more money. we are also thinking about how our economy can be better stabilized if we reorganized our whole payroll tax and make sure we are not punishing job creation in that we are creating the ability to have our own revenue stream even more sustained. so, these are just some of the ideas we are thinking

the local hire a lot as it is written does not apply to this project. because it is a private project. there are nuances that we have had to negotiate in good faith. we will continue those negotiations based on the concerns will continue to hear. commissioner antonini: thank you very much. i appreciate that. i agree that it is remarkable that we are committing to that many jobs, because most of the positions have come up are medically trained personnel who have to have had some experience in many cases, so we can get that many commitments to entry- level, most of the people i hire have to have prior training and it is harder in that field to create entry-level jobs. this is a big commitment i think on their part. >> it continues to be based onrm cpmc, they currently employ as significant amount of san francisco residents.

only 20% stays in the local economy. i did a calculation. if san francisco reduced car ownership by 50% to 200,000, we would keep an estimated $2.5 billion in the local economy annually and reduce carbon emissions by 1 million carbon metric tons. in this room, we have get around and relay rides. we could have the most powerful economic development program right here. what if the entire economy of san francisco was built around access like car sharing? that is what is happening. that is what these entrepreneurs are doing. the sharing economy is not just about new ways to consume. it is also about new ways to produce. it can be a platform for micro- entrepreneurship, creating jobs locally and organically, new technology, shared access models, and online marketplaces have dramatically lower the barriers to resources needed to create products, offer services, and want companies -- launched companies. tools the only large companies could afford are now accessible to the masses. the san francisco tech shop is one example. for a small monthly fee,

i am with local union 104. speak on why i think this project would be a great addition to the city. you will have two seismically safe hospitals added to the city. $62 million, and affordable housing to the community. that is wonderful. let's move forward. this is a great project for the city. it will allow graduates to enter our apprenticeship program and a ladder for other san francisc ans to learn the craft and support their families. let's move forward with this thank you for support. >> after this speaker, our next speakers. thank you. >> can you pull that microphone down? >> is that better? did get my name -- did you get my name? i am with a local small business in san francisco. in my colleagues strongly supports the -- and my colleagues strongly supports the cpm sec. as a small business, these projects will allow us the opportunity for our business to grow and hire locally. without these projects, it would not be likely to happen. i would like for you to take this into consideration when you're making y

the local stations are utilizing online now for a depth of local news that isn't practical on air. so there is barely ten minutes that goes by in a broadcast of a local, independent or affiliate station that does not refer to their website for more in depth video footage et cetera. so actually i think the local, i agree local content remains for most consumers first and foremost where they go as opposed to just a broader national feed. and the local stations on the whole i think we're seeing just the beginning of it. i think you'll see the local stations adopt to video apps that ores are doing and it will only proliferate. i have one last question. >> you have the tv viewers at 51 to 49 women watch more tv, is this right? i didn't know this. and online women beat out men for videos. 54 will have 46 for social networks. 50/50 for smart phones and the tablet owners are the only category where is the men are ahead. 53-47. do you see that changing as well, or where do you see that going? >> no, i don't see that changing. >> why's that? >> because actually we see very broad distribution

it's driving the local farmers off their land. a small number of investors make good money from the shrimp, which is exported to japan and europe. but the operations leave the soil even saltier than before. >> this is an ugly face of the globalization. unfortunately, the price that has been paid for shrimp doesn't really cover those, whose livelihoods have been shattered because of higher salinity, and they had to leave. and mostly, they have migrated to urban areas, and they generally live in shanty slums, and their living conditions are horrendous. >> clean water is scarce. most families in rural areas wash themselves in ponds like this one. but the dirty water makes them ill. gastrointestinal and skin problems are widespread. so ahsan and his co-workers are setting up tanks that filter groundwater. twenty families come here every day to collect drinking water. >> climate change is causing lots of problems for us. farmers used to work this whole area here, but it's not possible now. it's almost all shrimp farming. we can't even
