us manage this city. it never is ever about one office. it's not even about two offices. it's about how we conduct ourselves to reach out, engage people in the public to help serve our city. your ideas, your engagement with us, you're aligning where we want to go to make the city a greater city is really the essence of managing a city. and i've learned that in many, many years of being a public serve ant, being an advocate to make sure the city represented its own diversity, of using that diversity as our strength, and going forward each of you are being asked to serve on extremely important commissions and bodies that i fully, fully respect. from fire, to transportation, to people handling billions of dollars in retirement, to our arts, to our health, to just getting permits out so that we can help people be success in this city. all of you are part of that. i just happened to address several hundred people this morning at a breakfast to talk about the health of our city. and part of that discussion was not just the health care programs that the country is heading into. it's also health means are we doing everything right for people? are we building strong communities? are we

thank you for public defender jeff in an allowing us to participate in your 10th justice summit and also in recognizing the important anniversary. our statistics in the city of san francisco are higher. 75 percent of our jail population is a pretrial felony population. i think you have to put some numbers in context as to who is our inmates in san francisco city county jails. the population demography reflects 60 percent african american inside the county jail system, 21 percent white and 15 percent latino. we have done studies in the past that show that at least a 3rd of our jail population would be eligible for some form of pretrial release through programs that have been designed through pretrial release, they have been very effective. i know will looeng of our shop can report on figures. i can give you ideas of jail dates that have been avoided. the numbers are significant. supervised release, we saved 43551 jail days. for 2011, with court atable accountable was 88059 and o.r. is 25,000. county sheriff's have been empowered to be able to use their discretion for early release and to use our discretion to help reroute people into alternatives to incarc

in november of 2008. we are going to get to know him and talk about the toughest issues facing the city. welcome and thank you for joining us today. tell us a lot about your background, where you grew up, went to school, the job you worked. >> i was born in a town called and los angeles. it was a lot of working-class folks. my father was a shore worker, my mother was an office worker at usc. my parents were divorced when i was 10 years old, and i moved to the east coast for six years before going back to california after high school. i went to school at uc santa barbara, graduated in 19988 -- 1988. i have lived in the excelsior since 1999. i have had lots of different jobs, but my main job is doing social work force and a disco, i have been a community organizer, i worked at a labor organization supporting janitor's working in our high- rise buildings. i was a legislative aide before .wr. i got to see how it all work from the outside, community from the outside, community organizations supporting young

that any citizen of this city would use common sense and any member of a jury of your peers will use the common sense to say that anybody that 100 percent of the time finds in favor of the city and against, the citizen who brings the complaint, is biased. 100 percent of the time, you never find in favor of the complaint. you have never filed, i would bet you, one complaint before the sunshine task force and realize what the deal it is to go through the hearings and get a find and then for god sakes, to get it enforced. in fact, with this body, you can't get it enforced. so what is the point? >> and well the point is, we can come here and beat you over the head, by the fact that every single time you find against a citizen, you are saying that citizens bring specious complaints and complaints that are not valid or worth while and you do so without the hearings and in many cases without actually investigating them and you simply make it up as you go along out of whole cloth and you dismiss, dismiss, dismiss, dismiss and you not only dismiss the cases, you dismiss the citizens of this city. >> mr. hartz. are you before or against adding the word handling? >> i

in the city. and a higher share. and that we can accommodate. and some great comments. >> yeah, in that great comments and using your average or median? >> it is an average. >> okay. >> and on that same page in the actual report, i was noticing the retail jobs under employment are at 28 percent verses the rest of the city whereas the rest of the city square footage and it is quite a bit of i don't know what the right number is, there are a lot more people working downtown in the rest of the city. the same is true for the hotel jobs and not quite as dramatic. and 68 percent, verses 60. and if i may. and we get the retail data and it applies to the people who work in the offices for the companies that are offices. >> and that is a good question, and technically and always separated out and it was on the building and the retail and also downtown, you do have a higher insensety retail activity. and so the more employees per square foot makes the sense. >> and also under the fiscal revenue where you are getting the sales and property and taxes, and those are all showing the increased amount. and could we in a separate statistic show to show

in your city. and thank you, supervisor kim for also hosting us we appreciate it. >> now, i would like to introduce amy wine worth the city of the mayor and mtc chair. and amy has served on the city council since 1998 with the terms of mayor in 2000, 2005 and this year, 2013. she was first appointed to the metropolitan transportation commission governing board in 2007 and served for the past two years as the commission's vice chair before becoming chair this year. push [ applause ] >> thank you, thank you, and mayor lee, it is such an honor to join all of you today in celebrating this great day in the launch of the bay area bike share. you know on behalf of the metropolitan transportation commission and along with the air quality management district, and all of the other partners i am thrilled to be part of this celebration and this launch today. and i took bart over from the east bay and the cars were full of bicycles and it just illustrated the tremendous potential that this program has for the entire bay area and i also wanted to give special recognition to my colleague on mtc, scott weiner who
