i should point out that payment for all professional contracts exceeded the lbe goal, the c m d set lbe goals. with one exception t branch project had a 9 percent lde spent for the quarter. the project most of the lbe work was done early in the project and right now they are supporting the construction. they are basically on call to work with the construction contract and answer questions and solve problems so they don't use much lbe on that. overall they are at 22 percent. they have currently met their goal on that it's where you are on a project , the lbe will go up and down on that. local hire for construction projects. local hire is a new program for about a year overseen by the economic development. we had representative from that office come down and give a formal presentation from that program. we were hoping to do it at this time but we couldn't align our schedules. we will schedule something soon and have them come down and give you a formal presentation on the project. the program went into effect of on march of 2011. it requires a specific percentage of work house by san fran

that is very crucial for us to measure, you know, to measure the lbe participation and to an advertise the work that is going to come out so we can help them outreach to local business enterprises. >> so, in looking back at what's been done in the past in this project, do you see that we're able to get data to understand how some participation level has been? >> no, we don't. we have absolutely no data yet. we have no data. >> thank you. mr. martin, just to call you up one last time and then we'll go on to the fund-raising part of this hearing. it seems like we have a report from mr. barkley that there has been some meeting of the goals that we had around workforce, around local hire, around prevailing wage, that's not quite as much informed in a timely way it was actually possible to implement prevailing wage around what happened last year and small business inclusion, but it seems like we don't have any data to show that is actually happening or we can say as a city, this is what happened. so, how can we, looking back, make sure that we're actually not just saying it happened, but pr

they do support lbes whose focus is to make sure that there is publicizing for the business and promoting for the local events and i know for sure that the projects that i have been involved in had been benefited from that. and so, you know, after you go through everything, and i'm hoping to still roll with the entity thanks. >> thank you very much. >> next speaker, please? >> let me say, that if there are any members of the public that also wish to comment on item number 7 that you could please step forward and line up on the line there. >> malard larkin president and ceo of (inaudible) consultants. over 20 years as a local firm here in san francisco. there are many things that i could say, but i have heard everything that i wanted to say when i wanted to get up here. but i want to thank the supervisors first of all for your comments with respect to continuing to support local businesses. i would encourage you to pass this simply because my personal experience with the clear channel having served in various different capacities around san francisco, other than business owner. but mostly,

. >> briefly, it is my understanding that there was not a component in the rfp that addressed the lbe partnering but that the contracts before you does have that as well as i know that the proposal of the folks that protested the award to clear channel. i know that they have a program as well. but the clear channel proposal before you does also have an lbe component to it even though it was not required as part of the rfp. >> thank you. thank you very much and i think as i mentioned before, i think that the questions that i like to understand are more around the other contracts that you have concession contracts at the airport and whether they have this dual structure and i would like to understand some clarity and other advertising contracts in the city of san francisco not just the airport as well as other major airports throughout the country, i want to get the list of the top ten and see how the bigger airports are handling this. >> supervisor mar? >> i appreciate your efforts to answer our questions, today. but i know that having mr. martin if we continue this, would be valuable

commission expected that the event authority will give us regular information on all the beat or the lbe participation. on normal city contracts we have what is called the local business enterprise participation form. when proposals submit bids or rfps, they give us better participation -- we contract the percentage of lbe that have been included by the prime contractor. if you have any questions, sir, i'm available. >> one of the things you mentioned, the advertising hasn't been happening to the outreach to small businesses. mr. barkley talked about going orctiontion i think it what small business connect. is that one of the places where people are supposed to be going in terms of the small business inclusion process as typical for the city? >> that is in the agreement, but we also require that specifically advertised on the city's website that the office of [speaker not understood] website, that is where normally our local small businesses go to local business. but i don't

they are doing a women's business enterprise workshop for women lbes and sbes and march 13 and march 23, thank you commissioner adams for the connection that bart is holding their revamping a program for small business program. and so they are do{alt+}{alt+shift+}dner kleinwort wasserstein doing outreach and education about how to do contracting with bart. and that concludes my report, unless you have any questions. >> thank you director dick-endrizzi. >> march 23rd is the meeting open to the public? >> it's open to the public. >> it's free, so it's open to the public. and the march 23rd is at the west bay conference center in the fillmore. and the march 13 is at city college on valencia street on the mission campus. >> i do have a flier here, if anyone is interested? >> just one? >> we can forward you that information. >> they are going to do a special blast, i think, that is what jane said at the office. >> thank you. >> thank you. thank you, director dick-endrizzi. >> next item please >> commissioners, item 12, president's report, allows the president to report on recent small bus

i think this could be a model in our lbe or our local and disadvantaged hiring program to make sure everyone is included in this project and as we vote on this today it won't come back to us in 2-3 years. i hope we can get quarterly or biannual information on what is going on with the plan in the sustainability plan so that 2-3 years later we can be updated in the process and i would appreciate your support and model and moving forward with complex projects like this. >> and i'm looking forward to work wth giants because they are great corporate partners and great tenants. thank you. >> i won't go through all the thank yous. i do have a small question and a couple comments. i appreciate that based on the comments of last week that you have given us some answers or possible solutions to the open space phasing so today what i heard is maybe we'll be looking at geo bonds and other bond issues. the question is the open space and the type of financing in place. what is the anticipated timeline to go to the park issue since we just did one last year. i just wanted to know what the timing would be

the process, and connect with the city agencies who are doing the programs, what we classify as an lbe, we are only able to classify as a small business, but not a minority or woman- owned business. to talk about what kind of contract you would be able to engage in, we also have a unique feature in that we hear some of the issues that businesses are experiencing and doing business with in san francisco, and so can help work with our policy makers, our legislature and the mayor's office to help change policy that will benefit small businesses as well. with that, i think i will turn it over to budget solutions, but just note that -- i mean, opportunity fund. excuse me. but just know that our office, we are in city hall in the tax and treasurer's office, and our office is www.sfgov.org/osb. we have some information on that. if you did not get one of our small business booklets and you want one, please take my card, e-mail me, and we will mail you one as well. immigrate. thank you, regina. for those of you looking to contact these organizations, you can find their contact information in th

between 08-09 and 11-12, that is based on the difference between the low bid submitted by participating lbes and the second lowest bid. so that would partially offset, the estimated 2.6 million dollar cost to the city of operating this program over the period from fiscal year 08-09 to 11-12. we will consider the approval of this ordinance to be a policy matter for the board of supervisors. >> thank you. >> colleagues any questions? >> okay. at this point i like to open up to public comment. is there any member of the public to comment on item 8? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> city attorney, i am sorry, we are going to reopen public comment. you know what? i did have that. is this miss tan? >> thank you very much. you did spell it, you filled out a card. >> great opportunity to speak her, i have (inaudible) my name is nina tan, a san francisco resident and a (inaudible) of management, a small, woman owned construction business.
