i have been working to make sure the mta is in that direction, from staying on board with city- wide e-mail, to looking at something here, asset management systems. when i was at dpw, we were for the real-estate to get approval for enterprise asset management systems that the mta may be able to take advantage of now. the more we can get all the city in agencies on thie same system, it will be one place to report. the control system, the large capital project management system that the mta is developing, it will be designed and tailor towards the sfmta, but is a similar structure to what the puc uses. it is my hope there will be opportunities to leverage what the puc has done, to someone integrate those systems. in an ideal world, we would have a single system to integrate the whole city. this will be a good thing for the mta. it will have some similarities, possibly integration with the puc. it will not be a city-wide enterprise solution, though it has the potential to be so in the future. because we are implementing these systems and on the to integrate with the other city agencies,

to our transit system to be with me to voice the direction that we want to have and i will be there for you as the mayor of this great city and working closely with our boardat we can educate, that we could make those challenges change, but most importantly, that we can provide the leadership that is needed to forge a new culture in our city, one that will unleash our own strenthening of our neighborhoods and our own economic strength as well as our own strength of people. i will begin say to you that the enthusiasm is very real. you see the people who use these roads when we close them off to traffic. not to say that cars aren't necessary still to get around, but that there is a movement that is so, i think, contributing to the value and quality of life in this city and in the region and for our whole country that we can be the leadership up here. so again, thank you very much council general. thank you tort dutch team for engaging ourselveses the next two days. i look forward to these recommendations and if i may i'd like to introduce a very, very fine council general who is excited to be here, that will lead the way and begin the discussion. council gen

board. in moving the city forward. i agree with an approach that focuses less on a site issues and more on bringing people together to address the problems that we face. because there are simply too many conflicts and issues, including the creation of good paying jobs, which i think should be one of the top priorities, and i am sure it is a concern to many of the constituents in district 5. strategies to deal with changes in redevelopment and its impact to our city. improvements to public safety in district 5, and the exploration for obtaining more affordable middle, lower, income housing. these are the basic kinds of issues i want to tackle. with all of your help, i believe we can make the kinds of lasting impacts that will improve the daily life for all of us here in san francisco. finally, i want to conclude with a pledge to the residence in d- 5. i know you did not elect me, but i promise you i will work hard to earn your respect and trust. i am prepared to go that extra mile on your behalf to improve the neighborhood for every
