there were issues with local contracting and local hire with no real resolution in sight. to me it's very pleasing to see there were lessons on both sides. i think it was donny from lan ar that the oce in hunters point that have not been around for a long time are well established businesses. their cards are full but how do you get everyone else on board. i hope you have learned from the side. i really look and say i need to grow my business to find wags to buildup the cap office to help in the future. this is a 20-year project so it won't be the end. the one question i do have and we haven't touched is on work force hires. my time on the hunters point, we asked for data around work force hiring. it wasn't that it didn't exist, it's just that the data didn't make any sense. it was hard to tell whether it was 1 person working for 10 days or ten people work are for 10 days or 20 people working halftime. it was very hard to see what impact and as far as what the local hiring was reaching the community. my question is, i know as i left the hunters point cac, there was a new sy

a preference for the city's local hire policy. after careful consideration of this issue staff is proposing to apply the city's local hire policy on all construction work. this is the approach they would have used if the local hire policy had been in place at that time, but the city only adopted the policy in december 2010 and the agency didn't do any contracts for intrastructure work after that. this is the first one where they'll be applying this policy to one of its projects. the alternative, which we also considered would be to have the transportation authority require the selected contractor to enter into a construction work force agreement similar to what we typically require of our private developers when we do a disposition and development agreement. the differences between the two policies are described in your staff memorandum and i'll go through them again if i could get this on the overhead too. this table was in your staff memo and as you can see, it shows the differences between our construction work force agreements

this is a program that the city can implement locally. this is something that the mta has actually already begun, that they have added 33 additional pco's to the disabled placard detail and now we have 14 pco's and a supervisor who dedicate all their time to enforcing placard misuse. also to make it easier for the ofrsers to do their investigations we recommend the department of motor vehicles should make placard holder photograph available so the officers will have an easier time matching the person to the placard. . >> in this third slide what you see is a dmv site. what i think is important is they have a special parking place for accessible vehicles so a person who is going to get their license using an accessible vehicle can easily park. that's all to the good, but we say dmv needs to do more. you heard the suggestion that they need to find a way to link a picture to the placard. there's something else. we suggest that dmv upgrade its data base to include information about medical providers who certify placards. right now they have n

time limits or meter payment policies, we would have to do that locally. so let's talk a little bit about what we've heard at the public outreach because i think that's key and it's what our board chair mentioned at the beginning of the meeting. we received a lot of constructive feedback. most of the commentors supported increasing the oversight of placard approval and increasing the number of blue zones. again going back to our best practices what waech learned is that those elements in and of themselves haven't been successful in other cities at truly transforming the situation, so that's why we have additional recommendations. and it seems like the most common form of placard misuse is actually one where you have a legitimate placard holder but then you have a family member or a friend who has chosen to take advantage of the opportunity for the free and unlimited parking and that they are often times the people who are misusing placards. it's not as many that we're seeing people with disabilities somehow frauding or gaming the system, it's really more t
