residents to work, to make sure that we can actually fuel our local economy by hiring local people. that's what the essence of local higher has been and what it was about. we had a big change. we had to go from good faith efforts of the past to create a mandatory requirement on local hire and change was not easy. i cannot say enough about how much community and labor worked together to make local hire happen. it was the carpenters union, it was the laborers, bright line defense. there were contractors, asian contractorsant latino contractors, contractors large and small to make this legislation happen. it was that kind of unity that really was successful in creating this great change. that was just one part, though, was creating legislation, getting it past the board of supervisors was one part. the greater part of it has been making sure the implementation happens and mayor lee, rhonda simmons, naomi kelly get so much credit in making that happen. we would not have been that successful as we have been without that great effort. so we're seeing now what the goal was for this past ye

with the locally based credit union, 75% of deposits go to loans to other local members. chase bank's h.q. is on the other side of the country. although hundreds of my neighbors feel what happened at davis darro was a misinterpretation of formula retail law, the zoning administrator said the best way was move forward was to add financial services as a specific use and that's what we're doing here today. thank you. vice president wu: thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. dean preston, resident of district 5. i thank supervisor mar for his leadership on this issue and supervisor olague for co-sponsoring the legislation. i support it 100%. and i'm not going to reiterate all the compelling arguments that have been made for why it's a no-brainer that formula retail -- i'm sorry -- that financial services needs to be subject to the same formula retail conditional use hearing that any other formula retail business is currently subject to. i did want to take issue with the proposal by the planning department staff on striking the sales and service retail provision and i th

to local distribution chains. these organizations help local producers to successfully meet local service area opportunities, provide technical support, recruit, education and assist local producers to advance local farming opportunities. it would also enhance the growing movement toward buying local products and ensure that we support local producers in that effort. i also have two other amendments related to rural development which i will not offer today. but i wanted to discuss the importance of rural development programs for supporting rural economies and creating good jobs. one of the amendments would encourage production of darely produ -- dairy products. the other amendment that i will talk about briefly would add much needed clarity to the rural development programs may fund new opportunities as part of economic development not just annual production loans, federal r and d dollars can funnel much needed investments in rural economies if authority were granted to r and d funding to support new businesses wi

somersault and bellport liquors. >> i bought local wine in a local liquor store.hat also supports the commune. >> the method for selecting a small business to be cash mobbed is simple. >> first off they need to be locally owned and independently operated and secondly they need to give back to the community. i think the second part is something you can't fake. you can't say i'm going to start sponsoring a team, bring a cash mob to my business so i can do this. we generally look for people who have a longstanding commitment to their communities. >> afterwards, andrew encourages the cash mob participants to hang out at a local watering hole. >> they do their shopping and they congregate again so they can relax and have drunks. there's an old saying you're not friends with people you like, you're friends with people you do things with. >> a cash mobç can give a selected small business a shot in the arm and some much-needed exposure and support. especially when business is slow. >> if a local business isrely ing on a cash mob to save it, there's probably bigger proble

local hire increased 70% in the first year. with respect to the project itself, we share a lot of the concerns that have been raised about the project. but i cannot overstate the importance of this project for our unemployed tradespeople, who are sitting idle. we aren't a period it where we are in protracted unemployment and construction. the cpmc is a private project, it complemented by creating a lot of jobs for a lot of workers. it is at the point when the concerns were real. the potential for a larger st. luke's, increased charity care, an important part of this discussion. some of the things we will be looking at, we do agree with all the discussion around construction local hiring and asking our labor partners to stop them and help us get our folks to work. the non-construction conversation has taken a back seat. 40 is too low, we want to see that increase. we're also talking with our partners in labor on some exciting ideas and around the construction of local hiring program. we think it would be appropriate to have the

because there is a regional regulation that says that all our local authorities need to have a local mobility plan. i heard this morning about a problem like neighbors complaining when things have to be changed and the whole debate that is coming up then. but i think we have it similar because it's our local mayors who sometimes are hesitating to put into practice -- that's one of the reasons why those cycling routes sometimes get stuck, because you have a regional cycling route, but local authorities, we have 19 in brussels, local authorities do have to give permits for that. there is a lot of criticism on that and i heard my dutch colleague say one hour ago, you can get stuck because at local levels people don't like it, although your regional plan is to be so good. that's true. on the other hand, i think that it's a good democratic process to really to go at the low-cal level and convince people why it's good to have those new infrastructureses. this is one of the typical, in old belgium towns you would find it now, it's the flow of cycling. it's what you do if you have a one-way

to highlight deleveraging, local sources -- to highlight deleveraging, local sources, that includes federal sources. minister, tax increment, affordable housing bond, general fund the board of supervisors has administered, hotel tax. we have leveraged almost $1 billion with the local resources. that is not a small task given the amount of funding we have contributed. in terms of the pipeline in the future, we predict about 730 units to be completed by the end of this year. these are broken down into family units, a senior units, and supportive housing units. those are the target populations we serve. with in 2013, another almost 500 units will be completed. by 2014, over 5000. in 2015, some projects have yet to be entitled. we're only projecting 500. that number will likely increase. after 2015, when we take into account housing parcells the mayor's office has taken over, we will be developing almost 9000 within the foreseeable future of affordable housing units. related to rhna, you can see the units completed and the pipeline. it says about 9800. we have about 1900 units that have committ

what good is local hire if there is no work? cpmc will be able to continue to provide health care to san franciscans. the new building will be seismically safe. we need to keep the jobs in san francisco. this project will allow us to do so. that is why we need the city to approve the rebuild of cpmc. it will create more opportunities and more programs just to give people out of work and people in this second chance a new lease on life. to help people take care of their families. i think it is a win-win for everybody. i appreciate it if everybody would vote yes. thank you. >> let me read a few more names.

for failing to meet local hire goals.instead of relying on ambiguous and difficult to enforce language, the deval agreement should include mandatory hire provisions of real penalties for nonperformance. third, there is inadequate workforce development funding for product this size. although we are excited to have $2 million being committed to the work force system, in relation to the size, additional resources must be dedicated. finally, we urge the city to encourage cpmc to adopt card check and transfer rights for employees. a majority of workers will be transferred. we want to insure their workers retain the rights they have earned. the city has made great progress in workforce development and labor standards. we hope you will continue to achieve these high standards with regards to the cpmc project. thank you. >> good morning. my name is ben. i will be discussing housing in the da. first, the community supports the dollar sign4.1 million contribution to the city as required by ordinance for the demolition is part of th

if they get jobs, they will spend locally, which is how we support the local economy. i want you to know that i am a big fan of sf made. i want more things manufactured in the city. whether it is chocolates, fashion, accessories, things that we can sell. the more that we can manufacture in the city, we have lost blue- collar, we do not have that anymore, but there are other things that we can manufacture, including technology that has a chance for international markets. the other thing i am trying to do is make sure that our city appreciates the international status that we have. so that the more tourists who come here and take up the different events, be it the america's cup, or the fisherman's wharf, we have a chance to sell technology overseas and make that much more money. we are also thinking about how our economy can be better stabilized if we reorganized our whole payroll tax and make sure we are not punishing job creation in that we are creating the ability to have our own revenue stream even more sustained. so, these are just some of the ideas we are thinking

and then you combine that with the support of the local nationals. it's going to be very hard for them to swim among the local nationals. because they're not getting the support. so i believe that -- and we'll see. if it's correct, what will happen, though, going back to your first question, is as the main effort does shift, because the hakani network has gotten a lot of attention. the hakani network is a network that really operates to maintain itself. doesn't have that grand design. and, you know, as the rg

only 20% stays in the local economy. i did a calculation. if san francisco reduced car ownership by 50% to 200,000, we would keep an estimated $2.5 billion in the local economy annually and reduce carbon emissions by 1 million carbon metric tons. in this room, we have get around and relay rides. we could have the most powerful economic development program right here. what if the entire economy of san francisco was built around access like car sharing? that is what is happening. that is what these entrepreneurs are doing. the sharing economy is not just about new ways to consume. it is also about new ways to produce. it can be a platform for micro- entrepreneurship, creating jobs locally and organically, new technology, shared access models, and online marketplaces have dramatically lower the barriers to resources needed to create products, offer services, and want companies -- launched companies. tools the only large companies could afford are now accessible to the masses. the san francisco tech shop is one example. for a small monthly fee,
