we also have local schools around this and local day cares that have to smell this all the time and colleges and stuff. please pass this, thank you. >> thank you. next speaker? joan davis? >> hello, my name is joanne davis. this project is going to require local higher which is going to mean a lot of jobs probably the most amount of local jobs under any public project. beyond the jobs we need to make sure the people living in the area have access to these jobs that this new project plant will create. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. lodey titus? >> good morning. we have been promised for years that the treatment facility in the southeast will be fixed up or replaced. if any of you have been down there you know what bad shape it is in and the smell in the area is really disgusting. there is no way that a first class city like san francisco should be subjecting people in our neighborhood to this travesty. we are asking that you erect fee phi this -- rectify this problem as soon as possible. >> good morning supervisors. i'm speaking on item two and same for all williams. >> great. is ther

because i'm even concerned more about jobs, local hiring and this is one of the reasons that local hiring passed is because some of the unions did not local hiring to come forth to hire from the community. so i just want to say that you have a good job on your hand. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> i want to begin by giving you a little bit of history because i represent the first people of this area. so, when the hatch valley was dammed by people in san francisco using their power so that we could use hydroelectricity and i know that most of you have not read the rick act of 1913. if we have electricity, we chose to sell it and now we need it. in all this deliberations this body, the joined body has not been sincere in defining the terminology like i stated in my initial remarks. you all want to shove this down our throats. talking about generality as if the world is going to end tomorrow and trying to talk for the people of the south sector that have suffered for over 65 years. the question is what type of power, what type of energy and how clean that will be and what wi

pamela harris has affirmed ice dinners are merely request local enforcement and therefore local authorities are not obligated to comply. there were merely request. these hold our issue without basic standards of proof. they violate a cherished principle at the heart of our legal system . we don't hold people without a legal reason for doing so. this ordinance will uphold due process and legal treatment of all our residents regardless of their immigration status. it would sure immigrants who may be victims or witnesses of crimes will not be deterred from cooperation while with our law enforcement agencies for fear of deportation. the legislation will be supported by a wide range of civil and immigrant rights organizations as was the cities rights commission. law-enforcement agencies including the sheriff's department and the public defender. other jurisdictions with high concentration of immigrants such as the city of berkeley and richmond as well as santa clara county in california have similar policies in place. as do the county on or chicago is located at washington dc. the ordinance will

adoption of the city local policy creating a huge potential for more local jobs. we must continue to project investments that the city has made for developing a work force for construction. i am asking for your support of the local hire policy and increase funding from $100,000 to $300,000 to take advantage the opportunities for a robust local hire pipeline program which is critical to the city's continued development over the next year. thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors. i first want to acknowledge the wonderful organizations that have come through today and the vital work that they do that makes our city such and vibrant place. i work at the employment center and for years we have assisted residents created hope and dignity through introask that you support increase of current level of $100,000 to $300,000 for our local hire pipeline program which would expand opportunities for creating sustainable career pathways for san francisco residents and assist with the development of work force opportunities for high school students. wees also ask that you suppor

and super market and castro so unique are the locally owned locally operated. i hear every day how people love this neighborhood because of the uniqueness and originality but those rare features are threatened very threatened very severely by large businesses with almost 30 percent of the street frontage occupied the local flare is quickly getting stepped over, by allowing them to occupy another prominent location, it threatens this fabric that is wo ven through the neighborhood and the integrity of the community and the back bone of the city and we quickly will give you an example of why i disapprove of this project. is there an issue or a program that comes up on the block, vandalism, threat, violence, noise, you can call me, and you can call my cell phone and you can call me house and i will answer the phone >> your time is up. >> one sentence. >> what do we do if this issue comes up? do i come and talk to the ten dollar an hour. >> your time is up. >> thanks a lot. >> you can be done if you want. >> you can leave your notes if you want to submit your notes.

our local public schools are largely community based and locally run but the if federal government provides important support especially for working class communities for students with disabilities and learning chams. and we have important work to do to continue to improve publicls and e-- and recruit good teachers. but under this bill, republicans want to go in the other direction, the republican bill before the house today proposes a harsh prescription for students and families who seek better schools and talented teachers. h.r. 5 got education funding -- guts education funding for students and teachers by other $1 billion below last year's levels at a time when we want high quality curriculum and states and local school districts have been challenged financially. back home in my tampa bay area district in florida, i have over 00 title one schools like -- 200 title one schools. these are students from working class families, and over 90% of these students qualify for free and reduced lunch. it is a long time compact between the federal government and our local schools that ensures support

when you are a local organization and you have local staff, your funding is all local and your outlook is local and the way you look at the issue of burns is focused on taiwan, how do you go and understand burns internationally? what's the situation in other countries? this process is a learning process and learning how to define your strategy. it's one thing to say a want to cooperate with international organization, what kind of impact do you want to achieve. we don't want to replace people, we want to empower them. we share our knowledge and so when you train the burn specialist in one country, this person can help more people. another aspect is internally how to get people aboard because they will say we have a lot of work here. sometimes you have different voices. >> the pie is so big. if you could take it up a certain part of it, other parts may not. is it easy to find a counterpart agency? there are similar types of ngos in parts of southeast asia or china or north america or europe. >> there is a lot of nonprofit organizations right now in different countries the on burns. unfo

it provides just the local crew and background extras, a creative town of local spending and contributes to worldwide recognition of our city and its icons. this in turn keep the profile of our city front and central that contributes to one of your most potent economic development tools: tourism. san francisco has been that location for some of the most recognized movies and television shows from the streets of seven sfsan francisco, mrs. doubtfire, what's up doc, all help to generate tourism, and they spend money not only on local salaries but of hotels, restaurants, city services. in the first six years the san francisco rebate program has been in effect the film industry spent 40 million dollars in our local economy. nearly 12 and a half has been spent on local salaries for 1,135 crew positions and 4922 background extra positions. they returned to the production companies under the rated program was a little over 1 million and a half dollars; that is a fantastic rate of return for the city. we have had a 20 percent increase in the number of filming days since the last fiscal year and

local police departments. and you can make the judgment. 5% to 195 percent, you can have that conversation. that's a better methodology of legislating and trying to sell you will share under the circumstances. >> thank you for that. we'll have a lot of talk about political correctness today. part of the conversation has to be about political courage. we talked about the commission report. i still think the we are far too patient as a committee. not climbing are ruffled jurisdiction so that the department of homeland security is not spread out all over the place answering to 108 committees or subcommittees of the luster of live years. it's one of the suggestions that has not been implemented. i don't think it's a direct threat or republican thing. it's one thing that this committee could do in a bipartisan manner, make sure that we bring enough attention to the fact that we still did not have the jurisdiction that we should have the manners the chairman, that we do it. i think that the more that these things ha

elected official and governor -- once a local elected official, always a local elected official. what i learned from that is partnership is what it's all about. if you want to confront the most vexing problems, you have to bring people across an ideological spectrum, you have to include the business community, you have to include our nonprofit, our faith leaders. that's how you get things done, when you bring people together. and i look around this room and i see that you have already figured that out. i hope some of you had the opportunity to meet lee hirsch because i've done a lot of work with him in the context of our bullying. one of my favorite memories in my experience with lee is that we watched this film together with about a thousand people in sioux falls, south dakota, it was remarkable to watch the reactions of the kids in sioux falls, parents, educators, and we did that same q and a when we were done. i appreciate the wonderful words of your superintendent, that was exactly the dynamic in sioux falls and that's the remarkable thing, superintendent, is that this issue

last time i thought the deal said for the local higher and the local apprenticess to support the cia trade and to end the trade not just 7 trades. i thought there was support from the building trades council. and from the labor spoke about the support for all trades not just for 7 trades there's 28 trades. final part it's been suggested about the non cinnamons the city has a proposed labor if you call the hall and you can get a blank check and get zero local higher. we ask you to sponsor an apprentices and let's billed the pipeline so next time you call there will be somebody there >> good evening board. james bryant institute of the region director. just this past week i sat on the board for the mayor for the local hiring groups. mr. han i didn't participated in that process. we didn't ask that there be a separate process. and i just want to mention that the separate process back in 20054 if you all remember there was this process called separate but equal. folks that's what you're doing here. your going back to the synoptic separate but equal. you need to be strong just like the fo

the initiative to confront local on enforcement and get local law enforcement in that particular area because we can no longer deal with this or not sharing information. we will miss it if the federal government doesn't engage local police department and a very big way. the only way to find them in small groups. i am giving you my experience more than what happened in boston, but whenever i am confronted with a situation, even when i was the mayor and they didn't get the information i thought they should get, very often we are not sure about the riyadh and turn a liability of this particular unit. the new company in advance and tell me that you're not. let's straighten it out. because it's really important that we share this information. >> thank you. even at the federal level, we don't know that the fbi got the travel information on them. going back to the state and local, you know, when it comes to that, you get these radicalized you to websites and he was kicked out of a mosque, again, they could've taken a second look at this individual. but i understand that 2020 is hindsight. or

>> the formula goes from the state to the local school districts. so michelle rhee is right, there's a problem with where does it go after that. however, there are 10,000 schools in california, we're not smart enough in sacramento to say, each school ought to be spending exactly that much, and you can't have any of the money at the school district level. so there are district wide needs. we're going to install a new common curriculum. that will take professional development and other things the district can do. for -- we cannot decide all these details in sacramento. therefore, the decisions will have to be made by local school boards. the people that are happy with this have to go partially to the local school board. we're shifting politics in california from insiders in sacramento to local communities. and there's a responsibility not just for lawmakers in sacramento but parents and communities to get after that school board and say, you got this state money. we want it here and it deserves to be here. >> so jerry brown, obviously, this is going t

to take the chance that if the commission does not approve this formula retail that there is a good local merchant that can come in and whether it is a restaurant or anything else that will preserve the unique local character of our neighborhood thanks. >> next speaker, please? >> hello, commissioners, my name is sean, and i am the owner of black bird bar on 2124 market street and just two doors down from the proposed location. first off i want to state that i am against another chain business from opening in the neighborhood. and i do agree that it is an eye sore to have a blieted building at such a visible location. however, scrambling to fill a vacant building with chipotle is a bad decision that will only create a domino effect, allowing other formula businesses down the road. we already have three thriving tacos, restaurant, la taco, and others, it is obviously the majority of the community that chipotle does not care about the livelihood of the smaller businesses that cannot compete with the buying power of the larger chain stores. i ask with these three mom and pop businesses conti

economy as the federal, state and local governments combined. pipelines, cell phone towers, you add it all up, that's $2 trillion of private investment a year in infrastructure. again, five times the size of government infrastructure. so the policy upshot, from my point of view, is that a we also need to focus on things to increase private infrastructure investment such as doing tax reform. that said, government infrastructure's, of course, very important to the economy, but i think it should be done as much as possible at the state and local level, not the federal level. why do i say that? a firm of reasons. federal infrastructure investment is often misallocated from my opinion, look at amtrak investment, for example. in my view, a lot of it is based on sort of political demands and not based on customer marketplace demands. federal infrastructure is often not operated efficiently, is often not priced properly. for example, if you look at the bureau of ec rah -- reclamations vast water infrastructure in the united states, water is vastly under

fbi has to take the initiative to confront local law enforcement and get local law enforcement in that area to straighten out whatever the inadequacy is. we can no longer deal with this by not sharing information. we will miss other boston's if the federal government does not engage local police departments in a very big way. they are the only answer to finding these isolated single individuals, small groups. i do not know if this is the case in boston, i am giving you my experience. when i have confronted the situation of -- very often -- we are not sure about the reliability of this particular police officer, this particular unit. then you come to me in advance and tell me you are not and let's straighten it out. it is important that we share this information. >> thank you. even at the federal level, we do not know if the fbi got the travel information on him. he has these radical ideas, youtube, he has a mosque he is kicked out of. the boston police know the streets. they could've taken a second look at this individual, what it did not happen. i understand that 20/20 is hindsight. i

government or local community. it is quite a leap to jump from the chinese takeaway communities to one of our very important community groups in new zealand. i have found it useful to realize more and more we are recognized as taiwanese in new zealand for our expertise, our ability to make a difference, for our performance and outstanding achievements in various industries. we have very good doctors that are taiwanese. we have very good architect. very strong business people. very strong leaders in the political arena. all of this took time. i feel i am one of the very small followers in this group of very active people. this group has been doing so much. we help each other create the association. you are taiwanese. i know so many wonderful contributing and amazing taiwanese people in new zealand. more and more, you hear the positive endorsement of our people. it is very exciting. it makes my children proud we are taiwanese because there's nothing worse -- no one will ask what we are about now because we are so act

i predict that, as land owners and local officials become aware of blue ways, more states and local governmentstion if they really trust the intentions of the federal government. i'm pretty sure not many local officials and land owners are okay with the words trust us coming from the federal government. christie roberts is the owner of a wooden pallet making company in the white river area. the harvesting of pallets would have been affected by the program. and darrell styles is the county commissioner. he wanted to know why local officials had no vote on the issue, and he also feared why his family's farm just outside the area would also be subject to new restrictions. christie, what involvement did you have and other locals have? you're the president of the local chamber of commerce. i assume you were asked about your input in the blue ways. >> no, we weren't asked. i know of no one in our area that was -- had any type of request for any input or contacted about any meetings or was in any way notified this was even happening right now. >> and, darrell, you're a county commissioner, elected loc
