we are thrilled to be partnering again with mayor lee, city departments, and our private sector leaders to provide jobs and internships this summer. last summer mayor lee raised his hand, let the nation, i should say, raising his hand to say we in san francisco will make a commitment to investing in the lives of our young people in creating jobs and internships that, one, will hopefully inspire them to sofa focused on their educational pursuits and two have them see the vision and the opportunities that are in public sector and public sector jobs. last summer we celebrated over 5200 jobs and internships. 39% of which became permanent jobs. we have a longer term vision that is not simply a summer job program, but a year round program. and ultimately we want to see a pipeline that is connected to our k-12 program, our crick will you have as well as our academies that leads thened to the city college connection of vocational training that leads to our four-year institutions so we have a growing pipeline of young people ready for the kinds of jobs in our economic growth and vitality that is

last year, mayor lee created something called the mayor ed lee city for san francisco and which was not a candidate committee, it was a committee that he used as a general purpose committee and raised $400,000 and almost all of that came from contractors and lobbyists and they gave that money that they carried about in that election. and one of the proposals before the state is to redefine what ... and how it would play against the mayor ed lee committee for san francisco. and so you can't cover everything but you can begin a process of recognizing where the public has some sense that the playing field is not level and that there is an inside game at city hall. >> thank you. >> katherine. >> i just want to clarify that the $614,000 amount includes contributions to ballot measure committee and that there is no limit right now for the amount that it goes to. that you can donate. >> i just want to make sure. >> thank you. >> and any additional discussion on this point? >> are we in agreement as commissioners that we should prohibt the political contributions from registered lobbyists at th

city's financial health. and lastly, making sure as mayor lee also mentioned that our budget reflects the priorities of our city, today and tomorrow. the budget more than anything is really a testament about our priorities and priority document and what we value as a city and making sure that our budget reflects that 100% is so important. so we're going to continue to work together in city hall, both with my colleagues on the board of supervisors, with the mayor, great budget director in kate howard, and we're going to have the budget process and hopefully by the end of june/early july and come out to the public with a budget process that we can all agree on and a final budget itself, that again, reflects the value of our entire city and that is our goal >> well, supervisor farrell, and mayor lee, you are the public faces of the city budget. you were the ones that have to go out and get the input and sell it to the public. but what a lot of people don't know is that behind-the-scenes, the mayor has an entire team of worker bees, who work all yearlong, putting this budget together. and that team is led by kate h

city. we're looking forward to many, many new projects. and again, many, many thanks. thank you. (applause) >> thank you. next speaker, please. >>> supervisors and mayor lee and city officers, i want to speak today as an ihhs home care worker who serves seniors and disabled. points have been made, but let me just state we're not coming to ask for a raise. we're asking for the city to backfill a state cut to keep us where we're at. right now we are facing this 8% cut. you know, our clients have had assessments where a certain amount of work is required to meet their needs, and we'll still have to do this work after the 8% hours cut, one way or another. and year after year, you know, we've phased these cuts. we appreciate the board of supervisors stepping in and not reducing our or making our members pay more for health premiums in a recent budget process. but right now we're not asking for a raise overall, but we are asking for the city to help backfill. and from the state cuts we have this reduction. but from the federal government we have help that has come to the city in the form of a new face for home care funding that the city has to send to the state

i want to thank mayor lee and the city for supporting local businesses and development which allows companies like ours to stay and truly thrive in the city of san francisco which is great to have. i would like to thank kilroy for their commitment in san francisco and for really setting the standard for cutting edge work and environment in this mission building. i would like to thank many who are here today that made this possible for their hard work and dedication. you know sales force.com started in 1999 in a department on hill. companies are able to access software for the power of cloud computing. today that simple vision is now a billion dollar company with many employers here in san francisco. making us the largest employer in the city. today we have already more than 800 thousand square feet in san francisco and we expect 1.8 million square feet by 2016. that is tremendously exciting for us. we continue to grow and higher the talents that this city brings and enable and people that want to join our mission and are passionate about not what we are just doing about technology but our bro

. >> let's go to the big burning issue at the moment, san francisco city college, and is san francisco mayor ed lee going to step forward and bail out city college to its keep accreditation, in the same way that the city has stepped forward and helped the public schools? i know that is a tough question. >> it is, but let me say this. it's a tough question, but it's also one that is easily answered because of our constant investment and my approach towards the role of education. community college is an incredible institution in san francisco. it is where people in their mid-careers need additional skills to meet the market demands of a new workforce. it is where many people who don't make it into berkeley and stanford and all the great institutions come to get an great educational start. it's where a lot of economically-challenged families invest in their kids. it is where veterans, returning from afghanistan and iran and iraq come because they are not ready yet to apply to the big universities. they are smart enough to do that, but they want to get going at city college. >> do you see the city in t

with mayor lee's support the city is experiencing a tech boom. we need family-friendly housing and schools nearby. the housing is coming online, more than 10,000 residential units are developed over the next five years. what we don't have is enough school seats for the right configuration. we are asking for the weight and the influence of the city and its leaders to urge sfusb to adopt our pre-k to 8 proposal. we all have a stake in this, it aligns with san francisco's racial and cultural mission and keeps families here. >> please forgive me for not keeping track of time. but we want to be equitable and everything we have to say is important, but working together is to be mindful of that moving forward. >> mr. chen. >> how time flies. i am david chen and i am representing the asian-american community city. we are a small community center, but we are here for the last 12 years. we see other cbo's come and go. but we stay. we are serving the underprivileged asian community immigrant communities. they don't have the means or language skills to do be

city. thank you san francisco community. apl (applause)>> moderator: -- from home care. >> mayor lee, supervisors, department heads, brothers and sisters from the committee. my name is bradley whitmire, this is my coworker maria perez. we thank the city for its long-term support for home care; we heard about outcomes for the aids/hiv community may be one of the reasons that san francisco does so well is that california is that we have home care program. we need a raise basically, but we have good news, it's already paid for. money from the federal government has set a new base that's come to the state at this level. we ask for the difference to be put back into the home care program, to keep it strong so that we can serve our clients. we need to do this because we have been facing a 3.6 statewide cut for numerous years; there are potentially other cuts; it always seemed there are cuts around the corner. to keep clients at home, save money, home care is the best stimulus, we spent our money but in districts eight and nine, we are not taking it very far. >> the amount that came into the city was 4.3 million dollars. i want to
