local hiring policy. supervisor farrell. supervisor kim. supervisor mar. supervisor tang. supervisor wiener. supervisor yee. there are 11 i's. the ordinance is passed on the first reading next item >> item 24 to administer the prevailing wages be on the assembling and disman and woman in connection with trade shows and exhibitions and others events on public property. >> supervisor wiener speaking of prevailing wage protective colleagues this legislation will help to have the workers in the setting up of light shows are paid living wages we want to make sure that people living in san francisco, california afford to be here. the legislation establishes a requirement that workers be paid for the setting up and taking down of trade shows and other similar events when the work is on city property it is clear and explicit that nonprofits and other community-based events are not included it's about insuring the large corporate events that have a primary purpose of a product they pay a fair living wage and the conventions that spill out into the city streets are included but prid

i want to thank them going from the original 25 percent local hiring rate to a thirty percent local hiring rate. this was a big decision they had to go back to our sponsors to accept that i think i need to acknowledge that was done. so mr. flynn if you want to share with us some of the main amendments that we had today wore 40 are the ordinance and if my colleagues have questions >> thank you, supervisor. so package you have before you on page 6 in subsection 3 b adds 3 new exemptions for which the local hire policy requires it is exempting the tenant improvements estimated to cost less than $750,000 for the building permit where it is contracted by tenant >> that's effectively the projects at the port that's where the request are for the amendment. >> that's correct. the request came from the port it was a multi department meeting headed up by oewd and the mayors task force and they discussed this exemption and 3 others 2 of which are in the packet but the port was the one that was put that forgot and there was a concern that is smaller tenants on port property would have a little bit mor

i think the issue of local jobs and local build-out, we need to have that conversation and maybe come back and see what that looks like. but i think also what is important is to do our plan, for power enterprise and to present it holistically. because some of the development, like we do in ty treasure island is not only commercial, not just the commercial side like hunters point, if we do hunters point we're doing the whole area. so i think we probably just want to kind of identify what it is and how each component could work with it and then talk about the risk profile, if joining marin vs. starting up something like sonoma and have that conversation. so i think one of the things that i wanted to do was just kind of get and talk about how things have moved since we presented something? and i think the census from what i am hearing from these programs is that having a beginning step, where it's meet or beat pg&e is one of the goals of these programs, which our goal was to get the greenest project even though it cost more money. >> i'm still unclear where we're moving. are we moving to

project, so we've got two local projects. mc owned and they would be partially funded by deep green customers. and there's a description of those there. some other local programs that we offer our customers are a very robust energy efficient program. the energy efficient program that we offer to our customers is funded through the public goods fun. that program was authorized to us by the california utility commission. pg and e offers the same and we're offering something as well. we offer rebates, technical assistance and we're offering an on bill repayment program for our customers who want to implement energy efficient upgrade. that's unique because we've partnered with local bank and they're offering loans for the upgrades and they pay the loan back on our customer bills so increase a direct tide. we also have paid for the fund -- for the installation of electrical vehicle charging. we're offering a battery storage program to our immediate yaum and large commercial customers. we partnered with an organization called bidgl

have fast tracking that's an accomodation to support local businesses but clearly once a local business has a business spread out they feel like a chain so we have to address that and recognize that >> the good thing as you know they have full bands to nothing. that's one of the beauties of this so neighborhoods are able to choose how strike they want to be and if there are 11 units of a locally based well supported business the neighborhoods that would be subject to the cu if they had a fast track option could get air unit located easily there are better ways rather than opening to 20 that is universal for all businesses that along with the provisions counting the international and the corporate subsidies and whatever to integrate the internets impacts the chain stores are really desirable things i presenter our thought of at the looking at those things for review. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners, director. i did want to echo the directors comments my name is danny i'm the co-chair we're presented the opportunity to participate in the focus groups that led up t

with the mayors we have a quorum construction committee if we're going to get the data around the local hire and the local success we're seeing an average of 38 percent a year ago it was 34 pictures but let's do something we've done something great this is the strongest prevailing wage law perhaps in the western united states and beyond now an expansion of the successful local hiring model that guarantees success for the community and it's been a lot of work, work eave proud to be part of that i want to shout out administers naomi kelly she's been working with the staff and working with supervisor avalos and rochelle that's not much to add you have the organizations first, the warriors he made a mandatory local hiring commitment and waterfronts through this process they've made the ordinance better and upped the commitment to supervisor avalos said to increase that to thirty percent meaning more jobs dedicated for the community members thank you for doing that. one thing he's going to get embarrassed but a lot of us have been through here for pat mulligan thank you to city director pat

the local management as has done an "x" mr. star contract they've bid against another company that's the subject of a litigation. the guards themselves are all subject to displaced workers act so in my stunner we've begin through 5 security companies so we're concerned that the local management over the services stayed intact because of the lawsuit they left the main individual go and new replaced them with a new person but there's a steep learning curve. as well as the fiscal impact the new contracts starts out at $0.16 higher we held it steady and it's a one year contract with the city's discretion to exercise. >> thank you for the presentation i see no questions and we don't have a budget analyst report report open this up for public comment anyone from the public wishes to speak. >> yes. i would say the progress sometimes, it's a creative in terms of particular reason and structuring and infrastructure in order for the expansion of the geographic raise under the society for this funding things to happen see for everyone due

merchants. >> good to eat locally. >> local, yeah, you should support small businesses. >> local isr, more vibrant, the nutrients, you are encouraging local jobs. >> they only come within 100 miles of you i think it's really cool. >> really cool. the benefits seem logical. local food must be greener because it doesn't travel as far. but pierre author of the local mores dilemma says we have it all wrong if you want to help the planet eat globally. what do you mean? >> not so long ago we used to consume mostly local food then the steam ship came along the railroad came along and food naturally migrated out of cities and into locations where they were better suited for the local environment. >> instead of paying a lot for let's say cucumbers suddenly they are grown further south. they were more plentiful and available. your body cares about the nutrients and what we eat. >> nutrients are depleted when it is being trucked up from florida to where i lived. >> not at all. modern conservation policy ensures as soon as things are coming out if they are packaged properly they are frozen righ

. >> so objective 2.1 explicitly to protect the historic resources and 2.2 protect the local state and national eligible historic and conservation districts similar to our comments under objective one to elevate those types of resources we don't think those policies are adding any specific how to protect those two different types of resources. we would recommend being important specific stating to promote con forms with the secretary of interior for all projects effecting historic resources. policy also there's no need to have we don't feel to have a separate policy for individuals vs. historic district resources underlines the proposed management approach is different nicole if there's a different treatment the appropriate that is for individual resources that may not that a be separately but it's not clear in the current draft. so policy 2.3 the policy recognizes that not all resources will be identified prior and the properties b will require slaeshgs, however, the statement seems for important for an implementations measure as it speaks to the resource specifically talking about uh

the development will insure the local and direct and indirect construction of the jobs the local union supports this development at the 2455 webb stor stare and urges you to support n this for local jobs >> (calling names). >> good afternoon again commissioners tim colin this project was brought to us several months ago it's kind of a textbook adoptive real use i like the design and the activation of the pedestrian realm and the alley taking out a surface parking lot and putting in townhomes this is numerous helpful. were questions about the on-site and our members wanted to understand more true mark came back and there was a discussion at length why they choose that outcome i wanted to say on behalf of the housing action coalition we support this. we generally like on site but you understand there are occasions when the other options makes sense which is the case here. the other projects we've seen of theirs are all on site we really support this project and the choices they've made again, please move forward as quickly as possible. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon commission

local, in their community. many of you are familiar with the promotion that american express did in november in conjunction with an event they created, calling small business saturday. you know that on that single day, on one day, $5.7 billion was spent in independent businesses across the united states? now, i like to joke that book stores got some of it. >> we didn't get all of it but a bunch of it. >> it's no longer just the imagination of a few people. the interconnection between local businesses to build community, for those businesses to work together, to cross-market to cross-merchandize to come up with ways in which they can get a better response from their consumer, what we know, all the data, always shows that if you shop in one independent business, you're more likely to shop in another independent business. so, those partnerships, with other local stores, pay off and make an incredible difference and i think is absolutely at the center of why our members are doing better. >> and, john, i think you h

it means local communities, local community colleges, local work force investment boards, local labor unions, local small businesses decide what they need and put these work force training programs together regionally in community after community, whether it's in north dakota, the presiding officer's state, or whether it's in my state of ohio. driven by what kinds of jobs are out there available. that's why i introduced the strengthening employment clusters to organize regional success, our sectors act, back in 2008. i reintroduced this legislation with republican senator collins from maine this year. i'm pleased that provisions in today's bill are based on our bipartisan sectors bill. this modernization bill would promote and require sector-based partnerships to ensure work force training programs are dropped with the industry output -- with industry input, with labor input, with local community investment work force investment boards, with local businesses, whether it's in chillicothe or akron or toledo or anywhere in my state. given the difficulty in negotiations, i'm grateful for

as the rajneeshis expanded their compound there had been growing tension between cult leaders and localicians. just a year earlier one of the cult's leaders, ma-anan sheela, hinted at potential violence. she said, "we are here in oregon to stay at whatever the cost. if that means some blood is spilled, then this is the price we are prepared to pay." a guru from india, bhagwan sri rajneesh started the farming compound in 1981. after two years and $30 million the 64,000-acre organic farming and meditation compound had its own post office, school, hospital, and shopping mall with housing for over 1,000 followers. >> there were doctors and lawyers and accountants who've given up everything to drive tractors and plant potatoes and have, you know, daily chants. >> in 1982 the rajneeshis took over the nearby town of antelope and with it the majority of seats on the city council and school board, which horrified long-time residents of the small town. before the outbreak the rajneeshis had set their sights on control of the larger town of the dalles and had put up their own slate of candidates r

local governments. if necessary, the central governments might step in as a last resort to avoid any fiscal financial crisis. >> touched on some measures there. what measures could local governments implement to ride out that situation? >> the most important measure would be issuing municipal bonds directly. a province is issuing a 5 to 10-year bond next week. it might expand to more provinces in the future. and other important measures include selling enterprises to raise income for local governments. and also, for the local governments to invite the private sector to participate to invest in the projects, so that the local governments can shift the burdens to the private sector. >> thank you very much. that was daniel so at international securities. >>> japan may draw up measures to prevent leakages of trade secrets. they aim to stop rivals from stealing data on cutting edge technologies. the officials say the government will start discussions soon on revising the current regulations for preventing un

local governments have some measures to reach the repayments. of course, the slower land sales hurts their income, because that means developers have less cash flow for reinvestment, for land purchase. and that means local governments can no longer rely solely on land sales to meet their expenditures. but i believe local governments may choose to delay payments on some payables rather than have some technical defaults on bank loans, bonds or local government's funding vehicles. if necessary, the central government might step in as a last resort to avoid any systemic financial crisis. >> daniel, you touched on some measures there. but what measures could local governments implement to ride out that situation? >> the most important measure would be issuing municipal bonds directly. gang dong would be the first province to do so. it will issue five to ten-year bond next week. i believe the other nine would follow suit shortly. and the scheme might expand to more provinces in the future. other important measures include selling stakes in state-run e

you can get in more detail and we have the local economic development and local at risk and under privileged youth and education exposure and part of that education exposure is we are going to be hosting a community job fair down at pier 70, to with the trades and the local unions and the local organizations to come in there and trying to get some folks and kids excited about different things and part of the commute benefits as well have the google have a booth there and let's teach some at risk youth who may not want to finish high school and to go to college and get the degree and being able to become a computer programmer. and so, the next page, you will see the port of san francisco good neighbor policy, and this is, we are as most entertainment licenses are under the supervision of the entertainment commission and the sfpd, we have a couple of additional layers on who is watching over us and making sure that we are doing the right things and one of that is the port of san francisco. and our good neighbor policy for the port of san francisco. we have 13, different items on here. and all

point happens to be an area where local businesses are headquartered, essentially. so there's capacity and availability there. >> particularly within the construction field when you have to store equipment, as an example, it's rather expensive e elsewhere. and it's expensive never theless within san francisco itself, but that's correct, yes. >> you know, i'll stop asking questions and others can ask, but i wanted to make sure when gathering or capturing data, that it's not just at the award stage, but also at the payment stage. are we tracking it in that fashion, not just when contracts are awarded to sbes, but they're actually performing the work, scope at the conclusion of a project that we're verifying that the dollars have actually been awarded. the report that you have currently are awarded data. we are making efforts to track payment data currently with elations and other types of shows we're looking at. >> that was the only other question i had immediately is what is our technology? because some of the reports, this one in particular from local hiring policy

think this system works the result of the study is the creates a balance between formula retail and locally owned businesses and proposing tweaks to make it more restrictive in some cases and not restrictive in accountabilities it's a study based on serious research we were happy to make changes as we hear from the commission and public. we're asking you initiate today not take action but allow us to take the next step. the date in our packet is july and depending on the commissions wishes i'm hoping we can consider as soon as june 26th but that's certainly up to you as well. we'll have several weeks to work out issues with the neighborhoods and the community as we move forward before we move into the board we're going to ask you to initiate it today and thank you for your input and time as well >> thank you. let's open this up for public comment please line up on the screen side of the room. >> dee dee worker man. >> excuse me. i was remiss not recognizing amy with the office of economic workforce development who's joined with us at the hip. my million my i'm amy i'm with the office of eco

>> item 33,hearing on the city's implementation of administrative code, chapter 14b, the local business enterprise and non-discrimination in contracting ordinance. >> okay, president chiu. >> thank you, madam chair and the colleagues for the second hearing this year on the city's implementation on the kham per 14 b and the local business enterprise and non-discrimination and contracting ordinance, this is an ordinance that has been on our books for three decades and our board of supervisors passed chapter 14 b after acknowledging what had been a history of often, passive and active discrimination in our city's contracting policy to make sure that we are fulfilling our city's commitment to the economic development for all of our diverse communities, over the year it has helped to foster small developments of small businesses throughout the city but part of the reason why i had called for this hearing in february was there were a lot of questions about exactly where we were about what data, we were or were not capturing around this and whether we are fully implementing inner city contract
