when it comes to the position itself, if there is a bilingual requirement. for instance, if there is interaction with the public or a sector of the public that actually does warrant a bilingual speaker in that position, then what we do is we actually tag to position itself and the requisition with what we call special condition. whoever fills that position must meet the special condition. you have kind of giving me the condition to explain with regards to what we call the list because as i have mentioned before, if you have the rule of three scores and you have three people on the list and you are entitled to interview, if none of them meet this bilingual requirement, you can go down the list until you actually have and can consider three people who do meet that requirement. there are some pretty strict standards for action the meeting that requirement and i think that john can actually answers some of those questions a little bit better than i can. >> they do for the presentation, it sounds like a very fair process. i have a question on the length of time i

in addition to bilingual staff, we produce a wide variety of educational material in different languages. all of our commercial programs have an outreach materials and languages other than english. there is one example for our fluorescent lighting program. there are many other examples of materials in other languages. shifting gears, i would like to talk about our lease and why we are planning to move. you have before you resolution asking the budget and finance committee to approve a lease for the department of environment to move to 1455 market. currently, the department of the environment is located in two spaces -- 11 growth where we have four floors as well as 401 van ness where we have 30 staff. that is a city property. at that location, staff work with no access to the shared drive for the department of environment and have no centralized phone system. being in two locations as you can imagine makes communication and coordination quite difficult and efficient at times. other factors driving our need to move is the lease at 11 growth expires on may 31, next week. real estate has wo

a lot of filipino immigrants deal with a lot of stuff like culture shock, bilingual, bullying, and all of this. there is no high school in soma. after middle school, all the years go to different high schools. it is the committee that keeps them together. we urge you to keep us together in district 6. if you move the line to 15th, extended from -- extend it from valencia. thank you. >> hello? i am part of the youth group called ye. -- yes. i have invested 13 years of my life south of market helping youth, teaching them the issues of what is going on right now. there the next generation -- they are the next generation that will one day influence others, their next generation. they will be the ones that may be one of you guys one day. so, of all of this time we have been working in our organization, we know the hardships and how long it takes to get something done. nothing just happens in one day or one meeting. you guys know, you have been through this topic so many times tried to figure out where to put everything. on behalf of my peers and family members, we request 15th street from v

we serve a range of business owners and employees with 14 bilingual staff in contact position to speak spanish and chinese, both manned and cantonese. our largest direct service is the office of work-force development. office of small business has a total number of clients with limited english proficiency -- proficiency -- the total number of clients is 2014 and 266 are clients of limited english proficiency. we think that number does not accurately represent a small businesses out there with owners with limited english proficiency and we think the jobs proposal will help us reach those businesses much more effectively. i will get into that program later in my presentation. with regard to the work force, they have served 2709 individuals as of april 30. 657 are of limited english proficiency, about 24%. with regard to work force, the budget is projected to grow in fiscal year 2012-2013. that is largely due to federal grants. there are three department of labor grant initiatives we are currently working on. one is a technical training grant, a disability program and an enhanced job demo
