establishes the rules for holidays, work rules, setting aside some of the unions have specific black friday's, which are the fridays before recognized holidays, so we should adopt a uniform schedule of holidays for all trades on the job. also establishes uniform rules for drug and alcohol testing across the work force, so if there are any problems, we can make sure we have a safe and secure project zone. the central terms -- maria touched on some of these -- will cover both phase one and phase two of the program. it is limited in scope to the on-site work and excludes offloading of debris and excreted materials. it excludes offsite manufacturing of materials. excludes work that will be performed as an example, by the m.t.a. or transit which would involve ticketing or do improvements in the project because we can extend the pla to an outside governing board. and also, the specialty work related to the art program. we have specific rules for the artists to be able to select the craftspeople that will be working on the art program. some of the benefits that flow back to the beneficial t

the proposition approved by the voters also states that not less than 5% of monies, of that set aside will be designated to the acquisition of real property. at this time, the total acquisition fund set aside balance is estimated to be approximately $9.3 million in this fiscal year. this is not a presentation asking to use any of that money. this is a presentation to review the revised policy. i have included in the package, though i will not go into extensive detail, information that i also provided a couple of months ago for the capital committee, which was kind of reviewing the overview of things the city planning department is discussing through neighborhood plans and future open spaces city-wide to give some context to the acquisitions that proceed over time and are being discussed by various planning organizations and bodies in the city. the current policy was approved by the commission in 2006. again, we have been working with members to try to make it easier to use, and the new policy has got all the same general principles of the last policy, but distilled and a bit clearer.

and to provide the set aside of funding. president olague: you are with the arts commission and so critical to the piece of legislation f you could finish your comments. >> i will speak fast. president olague: it would be good for us to hear. >> thank you so much. i was saying he would have a set aside to local commissions that may be located outside the downtown or within the c3 district to prevent their work and the ebbing poe sure to the greater audience -- and exposure to the greater audience in the downtown. and it is a well established precedent in los angeles, long beach, washington, and cleveland among other cities and counties. the goals and objective of the trust are to reflect the city's belief that the arts are an essential component of city life. to allocate more dollars dating back to 2004 and to ensure that the public has access to excellence and diversity and to enliven, animate, and activate the downtown with the cultural facilities. to celebrate through artistic expression and acknowledge the arts as a prov

you all may remember on august 24th of this year, steve jobs stepped aside, due to his illness.im cook was running apple. steve jobs, 56 years old. again, dying of pancreatic cancer. this is a man who really stood for american exceptionalism, was a man who created the mac, the ipod, the iphone, the ipad, all of that. you see him there in the past few years he had been battling pancreatic cancer. you can see that on his frame. something investors had been talking about and with his final stepping aside which he had done once before with tim cook taking the helm at apple something that got a lot of attention on wall street. he was a man, you see him there the reason apple was exceptional, the products were exceptional and so loved he'd show up in the black turtleneck and make the presentation and it became an event with groupies and people around the world waiting for every event. yesterday we had the 4s iphone announced by tim cook with steve jobs obviously not there. i'm lucky enough to have dr. sanjay gupta here. we were going to be talking about michael jackson. but weigh in,

also, if it suits within a specific package under the federal guideline, we can set aside a specific scope within a larger package for small business participation in to say, for instance, just pulling something out of the air, the door hardware shall be provided by a small business. we have flexibility there, and we would be looking at these tools with the unions to figure out what would be our best opportunity. >> thank you so much. any other further questions? we have two speakers for public comment. >> that is correct. jim patrick who will be followed by mike brown. director kim: i think we may have other folks who may want to give, as well. >> i do not look at these things very often, but i happen to see this on a couple of websites. it talks about prevailing wage, and i am personally troubled where it says, "we will pay the highest applicable prevailing wage." why would we want to pay the highest? what about the mean? what about the lowest prevailing wage, or de-prevailing wage? thank you. >> good morning to the chair and to the directors. first of all, i would like to commend

aside from this pilot area, 500 bikes, we feel san francisco should be able to support a system of six or seven times that. maybe 3000 bicycles, immediately. but to determine beyond the pot and where we would go with like sharing, we did a city-wide suitability and analysis. we looked at 11 different factors. parks and into the bikeway network, to transit, tourist sites. we put all of these factors together on one map, and we have this over all which shows the northeast corner of the city which would be the most suitable areas. darker blue would be the most suitable. white areas are least suitable. this really confirms for me the original choice of the pilot area. you may notice mission bay is conspicuously white. we attribute that to the fact that there is more than enough going on in mission bay to support bicycle sharing. at this point, we are doing out reach to other agencies, and we are working on figuring out where the station will be placed. preliminary spots are fairly easy. we need it to be near the caltrain station, at the ferry building, bart stations, the temporary transbay

the city began in 1989, to essentially require a $982 million that the federal government had set aside for the delivery of the central subway program. the overall online, 7.1 miles, that would be the first north- south real connection for the city in over 50 years, connecting the southeast sector of the city to the business, civic, and cultural centers of san francisco with two lines that will serve the t-line. a long line that will serve the entire corridor from little hollywood in the bayview all the way to chinatown and what we call the t-line short line, that will turn around in mission bay to capture the significant growth that is currently under way to serve the mission bay and build out of the bayshore community. central subway is located to essentially capture the major regional connections for the city of san francisco, having direct connectivity to caltrain, bart, and muni metro. it serves a bit and the population where 60% who live along the corridor rely on muni for their transportation needs. in terms of the 2011 update, the central subway project has been a big advocate o

we have to put aside, based on supervisor campos' amendment, $2,000 to $4,000. that is not discussed enough. first of all, the actual context of having to wait four years to get pregnant i think is a little fallacious. again, i think we should be more focused on health the san francisco. >> have you been a dollars by the board of supervisors for your great work in the city? >> the great irony, as i said -- i have been working here for 35 years. we have seen hospices. we have seen tenderloin after- school programs. we contribute. i was instrumental in starting the community market. one of our murals is in

we cannot afford to put aside money the insurance company is not asked to put aside. supervisor campos: thank you very much. if you have an employee already getting insurance from another employer, they can opt out of the hra's. i want to make sure that is clear. that is doable. >> there also offered insurance, but they may not take it. supervisor campos: they can opt out of it. next speaker. >> good afternoon. ♪ doctor doctor oh, government oversight give us good news we have a bad case of health care blues those descriptions -- prescriptions you still are not cheap give us the answers that we seek because we work hard for the money so hard for the oversight and you had better treated retreat right she works hard for the money so hard for it you had better treat her right all right she works night and day and he does to for so little pay and they don't see much of anything they work hard for the money so hard for it, oversight please give them the budget light ♪ >> thank you. supervisor campos: next speaker. >> you don't mind if i rap, do you? supervisor farrell has

we'll see where they go. >> so that said, they might be set aside. why did you write a book now "the fallacy of net neutrality? >> this is an issue that's been discussed in one form or another for over a decade. and so i have been writing about it. writing for the most part academic articles discussing some of the economics of it. people of good will on both sides of this have different views of the basic structure of the internet. and as an economist i certainly see -- i think the internet very clearly in a marketplace that's constantly evolving. constantly emergeing with new business models. and it's that opportunity, that freedom to experiment with different forms of competition that really has been a very important part of the dynamism that you've seen in the marketplace. that is essentially different than the view of the federal communications commission now. it's stated quite nicely in the net neutrality order that they see the internet basically as an architectly system that has certain rules baked in from the very beginning of openness and ne

we had a good reserve set aside. 15 million reserve. $2.6 million reserve in the children's fund for child care cuts, so in those ways we are well-positioned to handle the risks we have in the current year, but we do have significant risks. the downside items we are looking at our state and federal impacts that i will talk more about in a minute. it is somewhat disconcerting, despite the economic recovery, that unemployment remains weak. then we have a lot of uncertainty. the pace of economic uncertainty, whether it will continue. the november ballot, there are three or four items for prop b. it that does not pass, we will have to think about whether we want to do anything in the current year to address street paving and sidewalk repair item. we did not include a great deal of funding in the budget, almost no funding in the budget to maintain the street program and the bond does not pass. we want to make sure we keep up on the ada compliance program. prop c and d, these did not impact the current year so much. we did not make any assumptions about pension and benefit reform. this was

any savings, like from this resolution, and put it aside for necessary future spending, rather than just spending it on, you know, political projects. it is kind of obvious that $1 billion needs to be studied. we do not want to make the same mistake like the federal government and just give a company $535 million with very little oversight. in my opinion, secretary steven chiu should have done more, and i hope he is not the fall guy for the loss of $535 million, which is not a drop in the bucket, especially for the city of san francisco. in regards to refinancing, everybody agrees that you're going to save money because of the lower interest rate, but then at the same time, it is not going to help the city of we're not going to rein in spending. i would like to suggest for the members of this committee to read the article month -- from monday on the top city earners. it is no surprise to me that the top 10 were all from the department of public health. if i remember street, nine of the 10 were from san francisco general hospital. to close, i would like to say hello to louis. i remem
