this is a city where everyone who has come here either by immigrant families or by their own economic success, they want to start a family here, invest in a small business or invest in somebody else's business. everyone deserves to be successful in our city and we tried very hard to also break down barriers that prevent people from the successful. and so these are very broad things that i have learned in working with the government of san francisco for over 23 years; i am privileged to work with members of the board of supervisors who are very enlightened about our communities and today we focus on district 8 and 9, supervisor wiener and supervisor campos have enclosed polly some love issues that arise not just within their districts but for the whole citywide effort. and of course i want to give the victim was a supervisor mark farrel who is chairing the budget meetings this year we will cover .all the different districts. i want to express my appreciation to all the department heads that are here today, you can see quite a number of them and cover all the spectrums. clearly many of

i know there's a lot of kids in the room so they want to and that we're the safe city and need the economics of the city to be sound but most importantly to be successful for everyone. maybe you came from other cities by you believe that when you have decided to live in this wonderful city you also want to be part of a successful city and that means that anything you do should be reflexive of the welcoming of the city. so we're going to get going. i want to thank the department heads but we want to give the bulk of this time to all of you. and want to thank the office of the - the ambassador and they're here tonight to help people whose language is not the first language by to make sure you tell us what's the most and highest propriety. this is important to us. last year and the years in the past we've listened carefully and we've had a more sensitive budget and that's our part. is a let me turn this over to supervisor representative districts 5 (clapping) >> hi i'll be brief like the mayor i can about how we allocate our resources. members of the board we look at what's most important to al

. >> what are your thoughts on the city's economic development? are we on the right track? what would you like to change about the city's approach to developing economies? >> in the chair of the land use committee this year, and i was vice chair last year with our former chair from the bayview hunters point area. i guess i approach land use and economic development from a different perspective. i'm not against development, but i want it to be equitable so we look at the lowest income populations or even middle income populations so that residents have a strong say as development moves forward, whether it is the park ridge said development in the southern, western part of the city or even treasure island with there's many low-income families that currently live there. but it is a strong voice for the residents that currently are there. we also want to see new people moving into the city, and hopefully, we focus also on families and housing that provides better homes and home opportunities for families, but i always say that i support equitable development. i also do feel that

. >> what are your thoughts on the city's economic development? are we on track? supervisor kim: i think economic development is a policy area our city continues to struggle with your read it is so dependent on what the state and federal government does. on the local level, i would love for us to figure out what we can do, because this is the heart of san francisco. as i said before, they provide 70% of the jobs here. most people do not realize that. small businesses are what provides jobs here. they provided locally and the hon not going to go, they are not going to offshore their jobs any time. i think we're in a very difficult city. we have tons of permits, tons of different apartments to go through. i wish there were a way to streamline the process, just to make it easier for them to be here in san francisco. >> what are your thoughts about expanding the tax breaks, giving business to other areas in your district? >> i talked a little bit earlier about raising taxes and raising revenues and fees, and for me, the tax exemption is something i do not philosophica

impacts that cbd service and investment have on our city's commercial neighborhood corridors and quoting our mayor, "as each neighborhood take and economic step forward, so does our city." so we ask for your support in moving this forward. i want to thank the central market community and the members of the steering committee, many of whom are here this morning. as can you see the steering committee consists of property owners, and merchants, to art groups, et cetera. community-based organizations are also represented on the steering committee, like michael of the alliance for better district 6 and residents like catherine, who has lived at 6th and market street for many years and i want to thank everyone and thank you for your support and guidance in this process. thank you. >> great, thank you. now i would like to move to public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to speak on this item? if so, please step up. thank you very much. i think we have got one more. >> hi, thank you and good morning. my name is antoinetta and i live on 6th street and i was the chair of the redevelopment committee for about the last ten

in march of last year the city economist did a study that i requested quantifying the economic impact of nightlife in san francisco. as you recall it showed that nightlife generates $4.2 billion for the economics in the city and provides tax revenues and employees 48,000 people. this legislation balances the goal of expanding nightlife and entertainment for our city's cultural and economic benefit with the need to ensure that venues act responsely and if they violate the law, enforcement occurs. brought aims to increase entertainment and also general clean up. a few of the main aspects of the legislation and i will say that i worked closely with the entertainment commission on the legislation, both the entertainment commission and the small business commission voted unanimously to support it. the legislation expands the limited light performance which we created years ago to include outdoor spaces like patios and court yards where currently they can not obtain an on going permit for live music. the noise standards are the same. the expansion of live performance

. >> let's talk about the city's economic development. are we on the right track? what would you like to change about the approach to developing the economy? >> we are getting better. the city as got more proactive about attracting businesses and new industries and providing incentives for them to come and stay here. it is still a very expensive place to do business in terms of the cost of labor, land. we need to make sure that we are not taxing businesses to the point that it is not profitable and we are not attractive for them to be here. we need to reform our payroll tax. that is an incentive not to create jobs. i know the board president david chu is working on possibility this there -- possibilities there. i look forward to working with him. we've targeted efforts to revitalize areas and bring industries here with the tax holiday and proposal introduced yesterday relating to parts of the tenderloin to provide some payroll tax relief to encourage businesses like twitter and others to go there. >> the governor has proposed eliminating funding for redevelopment ag

i want to have a city that is safe for everyone; a city that has an economically sound budget. we are not doing this any longer with a single year budget; all of us have been listening to the economic disciplines that have faced us as cities across the country. that is why we have it two year budget first year we identified about 125 but in dollars of deficit which means we don't have to have money to cover and balance a budget for this next fiscal year. and the next year we are faced with an even larger 256 bit in dollar budget deficit for the second year so we have to figure out how we are going to get revenues or cut costs or reorganized ourselves and determine what our priorities are. we do the budget together with the board of supervisors. there have been years in the past where there's been a lot of tension between the executive branch and the legislative branch over what are the city's priorities. instituting more upfront meetings with them and with all of you gives us the grounds to make agreements early on so there's less tension. often we have been saying that it's ki

think that one of your main points is that reducing the transit delays will create the economic benefit for the city and over the converse of the last slide and what i would add is tra transit performance more generally can create additional benefit and eliminating the delays would have benefits that improving the performance beyond and it would have additional benefits and in other city transportation and structure and the benefits that exceed their cost. and that may be more or less true for the different types of investments and this kind of analysis can help us determine what return on the investment might be from the different kinds of investments, i guess that along those lines i wanted to look at this from a different perspective. right now, the city as a whole, let's say, conservatively is paying, $50 million for these delays, what i thought might be interesting and ininstructive to think of it differently if we could take that $50 million and invest them in the system and what we would be able to do. and hear some of the examples. and what we might be able to do. and and we took that $50 mi

and opportunities, to create nurses, teachers, mechanics, the professions that keep our city running an economically viable. the 85,000 students are a great testament. the college focus on real strategic approach to social justice is also been a model nationwide in higher education and pulling up economies, a great model for many other immunity cause distress throughout the country. ,but the college is facing a significant crisis perhaps the greatest crisis in is near 80 year history since 2007 the college has been forced to cut 53 million dollars because of the lack of funding at the state level in most recently the schools accreditation has come under threat by the state accreditation committee and gynecologists at city college is way too important to idly stand by. the resolution comes out of the spirit of being supportive of that institution in this time of dire need. the resolution is driven by the , , very constituents with the most at stake at city college working families . immigrants in many communities the drafting of this is coming concert with not only teachers and staff but also the coa

bay area as it's trying to reach beyond lubetionv and transportation towards social and economic activity, cities try to offered [speaker not understood] even as afford ability is an issue in our more dense areas. they found social connectedness is a chi critical factor in upward mobility. lack of car alliance can fail to help people connect and move forward. it is a complicated web bus there is a factor in there shifting areas to help us move forward. and another factor underlying the population projections within plan bay area is how we will grow. the productions are just projections. no one is really sure ~ if we will grow and by how much and who those people would be, but plan bay area sees the same trends that we have been seeing in our city, like a growing senior population who often are trying to downsize and fit within urban areas. a growing asian and latino population, cultures that are much more familiar with multi-generational households and multi-family housing preferences often. a growing work force under 35, which is showing demands to be single longer, more accepting of density and

it showed as you will recall, the night life generates $4.2 billion in economic activity in our city and furnishes or city with tax revenue and employs 48,000 people. and this legislation, today, balances the goal of expanding our night life for the cultural and economic benefit and with balancing that with the need to insure that night life venues act responsively, and in compliance with the law. >> so the legislation that we will do, several things and first, it expands, the limited live performance locals which is a form of permit that we approved a couple of years ago to include outdoor spaces like patios and court yards. and that holds the limited live performance permits. the noise standard for those venues will be the same as for indoor limited live performance permits. and it also expands the definition of limited live performance to include djs as long as they adhere to noise requirements which will allow them to perform under the limited live performance permits. and on the legislation, creates a 90-day entertainment permit. the place of entertainment permit for situations

the city librarian's economic disclosure disclosed no gifts and the forms 801 don't exist at all. they provide a discretionary fund and the city librarian spent a 69,000 and spent on show rooms and trips and furnishings. the board of supervisors would never investigate this because it's a part of a much greater conversion of public resources into the hands of private corporate philanthropy. what is meant that private assets is a mother's milk of politics. this is what happens when public -- there is no accountability for the private money, how it is raised or where it goes and there is no accountability for the sunshine and ethics violation that allows them to operate with impunity. david chiu for having me arrested are the lies cost more than the money. >> next speaker? director of san francisco. i would i would like this to remain on. public records request indicate from 2008-2013. city librarian received $181,000 from the friends of the san francisco public library. mr. chafee's previous speaker had an additional $30,000. this is particularly the items that are spent on travel,

so, here, in the city, our office at the economic workforce development with the mayor's office and the department of children, youth and their family have taken the lead, but across the city family there has been the departments stepping up to provide opportunities as well. and then the private sector has been a great out pouring from the employers last year and this year, united way and the bay area is a key partner of ours in the non-profit sector as well. so, i just want to go over a couple of numbers, from last year, to set the stage for last year and last year, the mayor challenge us to have 5,000 opportunities for the youth and we are able to exceed that and ailable e workopportunities through the summer jobs plus program last year. the other data here if you are interested and i don't want to go into much in detail on it. but to say that it is available, and it shows kind of the spectrum of the folks who were served through the program. in terms of neighborhoods served, i think that one of the key, driving forces behind this is to try to reach out and make sure that the youth fr
