you you know how much our city has changed and the biking has changed our city for for the better i wanto share a few examples i remember personally biking here two years ago i was left hand lane i was one of the few women out there biking hold on one second (sirens). i'm not left hand lane biking in san francisco anyway those of us biking make up 2/3rd's of the biking on market street in has a valley and the lower hate more than 10 percent of traffic on our streets 0 o is biking we see literally thousands of people ridding literally as for bike to work. 20 years ago biking honestly was an afterthought in our transportation system today, the city leaders know it's important to keep san francisco healthy just last week we've launched the bike to work program and special thanks to bart that lifted it's blackout on bikes altogether last year. we see employers really recognizing the value of biking their prior tisz inside biking for their staff and the off-street parking be replaced by bart corals and their 0 no dummies it make sense because people biking and walking and taking transit spend

city's expenditures. i do want to mention that the city's audit includes many different components and our audit by [speaker not understood] includes all of the city's funds except for the missing components being audited by kpmg which another person will [speaker not understood] today. for the comprehensive annual financial report we issued a modified opinion as is previously known as an unqualified opinion which is the highest level assurance that you can achieve under an audit. for the second report that i'll go over, there are certain required communications that we have to communicate to the governing body under auditing [speaker not understood]. i'll go over that in just a second. we also have one current one year recommendation from the audit relating to operation for the city. and i will also go over the prior year recommendation that we have in the previous audit and we came back to follow-up on their corrective action statuses. the third report is a single audit report. again, we issued an unmod

sort of standardized across the city. at the transit we were reviewing the mayor's office had begun a performance score card for workforce development. so, but we concluded that section 30 as it's now written cannot really be effectively implemented. so, we recommended changes to do away with sort of the centralized planning and budgeting and [speaker not understood] more of a policy function. that defines the goals of workforce development, how these programs benefit the city, the priority for funding allocations, and setting up program performance measures. and one of the things you'll hear, we heard a lot in discussion was about the performance measures, is each of these programs is serving different populations and have different program goals. but in fact, when we reviewed performance measures that departments currently use we found there were a lot of standard measures already. so, one of our key recommendations, then, was to set up a city-wide workforce development planning committee. this committee would be compri

they occupy space all over the city. there's no property tax coming from it, they'd vacate those spaces and move all their operations to the -- >> do you have a list of those spaces and what we're talking about in terms of property tax dollar value? >> i think [inaudible] has that if you'd like her to go over that. >> i mentioned in the remarks that this year and next year we'll be vacating nearly 2,000 square feet of lease space in san francisco and consolidating those -- and relocating those activities to our own sites. that 200,000 square feet will be generating in present value terms, $12.7 million of new property tax revenue for the city. >> has our department of real estate evaluated this site and provided us with documentation for this particular site? do we have that confirmed by the department of real estate that this is potentially the added value of those particular sites? frnths >> mr. rose. >> if i understand what the department is saying, uc occupies leased space. the owners of the leased space are paying p

winn he's the deputy city attorney. colleagues this legislation is frail many years in the making because it is overall on amendment to the local hiring ordinance that was passed in december even if 2010. that ordinance was applying the local hire principle percentages rising every year we're in the year of a pause to do an assessment for workers to get hired for publicly you funded public works projects. this new amendment to the ordinance is actually adding in 2 parts that we will extend local hiring to public and private land for language for prevailing wages as well it follows the same process we had in place for the local hire ordinance and mr. flynn is coming now. it's pretty straightforward the approach but there's many departments that have coverage and we're concerned about how the policy will fit the work they're doing and i wanted to be flexible to make sure we can maximum local resident getting hired but understand the complexities that the departments had to go through. there's 3 well, actually now 2 main p

willie brown was in city hall. (laughter) the giants were still playing at candle stick across the highway over here and my 014-year-old son was not yet born. now slaying lock had a proud history as the largest employer in this part of san francisco for over 75 years we must not forget the valuable contribution over time in 2009 when we kicked of off the remedication program some of the folks over at lock contributed and built their community in the valley joined ace and told remarkable stories of their time. and we're here to remedy them as well and look forward to having their stories shared later. but what happened since then? in 2010, the historically used production facilities for the lock and key factories were taken down and with the help of the city and state we put in love money for the legacy ground water on this site now after 15 years it's time to get to work. so were looking forward to the first phase of construction which we hope will bring up to 5 hundred and 75 new housing units to the northern port

attorney and john gibner, deputy city attorney yeah. i don't believe there's an a second and we have a second by supervisor mar and colleagues, can we take those motion without objection and the underlying item can we take that without objection? do so as well thank you madam clerk item 8 >> item 8 is an ordinance to amend the prevailing wage code for work on the on-site assembly that's temporary inhabits delayed and module especially inference for covering the deck ratify materials with conventions and others special events on city property. okay supervisor wiener. >> thank you, mr. speaker, colleagues this legislation will help insure that workers who are involved in the set up and take down of trade show on city property are paid a living wage. we want to make sure that the people living in san francisco, california live here we have a history of making sure that people are paid a decent wage. this legislation that is endorsed by san francisco labor council says that workers will be paid for take down and set up and others special ev

have a ubiquitous wireless coverage in the city for many years so if the district and city are working hands in and and it creates these opportunities for our poorest families, leveraging the city's resources to provide connectivety in those homes, then it allows us to work with cbos within the community so we can perhaps get devices into the homes. we've leveraged what we want to do. so there's lots of those kind of exploratory conversations happening. quite frankly, our goal is to bring to the board with the budget for 2014, 2015, an initial set of recommendations that started down this path and then with subsequent conversations about what are we learning and how are we leveraging some of the -- quite frankly, some of the conversations we're already having with our business partners in san francisco and some of our philanthropic partners who are extremely motivated to partner with us. >> that's what i wanted to know. i also want to know -- be updated on steps along the way. we hope those things will happen, we other working towards them. that's the right answer, but when do they hap

for withdrawals from the city, if the city controller projects total general fund revenues for the up coming budget year are less than revenues for any current year or prior year, then up to half of the rainy day reserve balance can be in the city budget for the upcoming year. and the second frankly is that the decision making process about appropriating funds from the reserve to the district is now resting with the mayor and the board of super visors so certainly that was the intent of the original language, but that is something that the city has -- you know, the willingness to revisit and change. that's some of the discussion that's taking place now. the possible changes. one is that there would be two separate reserves created so right now instead of having the one plot of funds in the rainy day reserve, that there would be a split of the one reserve into two reserves. one would be for the district and one would be for the city and the city would receive 75 percent of the current balance and the district would receive 25 percent. and then if the say -- if and when the city in any

in another city-wide office, if another city-wide office became vacant, the deputy of that office would continue to run the office until the special election is held. last year the local area formation commission, lafco, studied how other jurisdictions filled vacancies in vacant offices. one unique san francisco's appointment process is the mayor has discretion to [speaker not understood] to fill vacancy. that process let alone the democratic process for how the mayor makes these [speaker not understood]. there are no time constraints when the mayor make these appointments. [speaker not understood], she was not appointed to be assessor until february 2013. and there are no -- there are virtually no other examples of this lack of public process in filling vacancies in many place around the country. the colorado governor makes [speaker not understood] to fill a vacancy [speaker not understood]. the mayor of philadelphia make appointment of vacancies in their city, but there is no other executive office where they have this ability. this will bring us in line with processes for filling vac

what we're seeing in others cities. one model you've heard we talk about is the community art stabilization trust this is a program that was founded by the kenneth foundation that succeeded with a $5 million non-exit cap that allows for the acquisition of release real estate for the deed restricted use in a 7 to 10 year acquisition to supporting them and helping them set up their capital campaign it's been effective we think with small and midsize organizations that might not have the capacity to enter the real estate market and to create a second marked for the art and crafts it will be capacity to social services in non-arts organizations. the cap model allows for master leasing or shared spaces where numerous non-nonprofits low come together with the cap model for social services. cap as a model has been effective in identifying under utility or below utilized spaces and we do is that potential for the cast to be for organizations as well. another model is the partnership had an as enter departmental focusing on arts

seekers of the city that is transitional. another thing there's a street bigotry it's still with us. let us have transitional housing like shoe box units that can be built to house people to rehab this demographic instead of being the useful throw away population the stigma rests upon us and people are tired of taking care of my ethic groups but we have capacity inside of us so let's us sit at the table we're not. everyone is asking for money let the shoe box units be a demonstration if you're capable physically and mentally 6 months and you've got to be on the way let's us prove ourselves and have rapid reemployment programs and redeny manufacturers you don't have to have people be without shoe box housing >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning i'm to relate a perm experience being a senior and homelessness how sometimes city policies enhances homelessness rather than eliminates it when you was 63-year-old i was compelled to seek early social security retirement benefits. so the significance of that is at the pr

and city government in general. so let me pose this question that someone tweeted a couple of minutes ago, the first tweet we got, and it's an interesting one. some might say it's the voice of the silent majority out there who likes to drive. i'd like to be able to support bonds for replacing and expanding muni busses, trains and subways, street paving and parking, but as a driver who is over the city's anti-car policy i will never vote for a bond or tax that even potentially could include more anticar measures. i hope you recognize how strongly drivers feel about this, separating the bonds is the only way i can see muni gets funding. you know, you recognized this in your state of the city earlier this year when you said it's time to get rid of those sunday parking meters. we've got to give motorists a little break here or we're going to have a revolt. >> certainly. the larger backdrop is that almost a year ago we put together a task force to study our transportation needs. they worked really hard. we had experts fr

but a few cities tried it and other cities liked what they saw. bike sharing work here in washington, d.c., and other cities are following suit. so as rob was talking about earlier, how we finance and deliver infrastructure of the future? innovative things are happening. we're all encouraged by what congressman delaney and had to say but they're mostly happening someplace else. a generation ago it was not a big gap and how infrastructure was finance, build an operator here in the u.s. versus other industrialized nations. that was a quite simple model. government collected taxes. private firms bid and design and build the next project and the government was the operator. pretty standard. in the u.s. is still mostly how it's done, except of course we are doing fewer projects every year. i will editorialize for a moment. what once existed at all levels of government in terms of -- doesn't exist anymore in both parties. to support a reasonable level of infrastructure, investmeninvestmen t has broken down without anything to replace it. these consequen

that we're a city for sale. i think sf beautiful and the harvey milk club and others made it very articulated it really well that it's a compromise because we know we need the funds that supervisor breed mentioned about not expanding it or doubling it is a question. and i am okay with keeping it at the status quo, not expanding the digital advertising as well, which could lead to more traffic conflicts and just distractions of drivers, especially right now as we're expanding our vision zero efforts in the city. so, that's why i strongly urge keeping at the status quo and i think it's a reasonable contract if we keep it at that. >> thank you very much. to the director, the finance person, so, the argument is to keep the contract -- the number of buses he wrapped at a cap of 15 and supervisor breed has propose today making it to 30, that increase. is there a business argument as to the difference as to how you would spend that money or where it would be invested? >> so, the -- our budget is based on the minimum an

that's what i think about spending it all in the city. well, i, you know, not everyone ca can working for the city and county of san francisco go that's on the mind as i close out the 27 contracts and balance a budget hopefully in the next two weeks to wrap up but i see why this city is so attractive because today wife got 65 small businesses in san francisco. they compromises over 2 hundred and thirty thousand people for jobs that's the reason they compromises all the businesses in the city so those conferences there's a statistical appreciation but ufo our strong economy is reflected in the small businesses. while everybody doount do not want to be an employee the strength of combrifrp is strong and there are so many reasons why one of the reasons great 23i7b8 institutions bank of america thank you for your sponsoring for this great convention and wells fargo thank you for supporting today's event and thank you to detests for the square for the flavors and all of you who are succeeding our are supporting the others a that's a story it c
