we require the resolution prior to entering into agreements with oewd. this concludes my presentation. we are available for additional questions. and take of think you very much. at this time, if there are no further -- supervisor avalos: in the packet we have what looks like an award letter to the director michael cohen dated august 2010. i am trying to figure out what the time line was for this grant. right here we're seeing what we are applying for. was this already applied for in previous years and was not awarded? >> in the recitals there is the retroactive reference to applying for the grant previously. it is about the third paragraph down. it was an interesting process, because first you have to be designated as a callous community. then the award was given for the amount. an award cannot be granted until a resolution is granted in the form that is before you that says we are authorized. it was a little bit of an interesting process, because they had already designated as, but they wanted us to have a resolution to apply for such an expense. >> ok

then, the funding started coming from oewd. know, it is a sad situation how my community has been done by the redevelopment agency since 1968. and then you are going to sit there and say everything is ok. no, no, no, no, everything is not ok. we have not received the promises that was gave to us in 1968. my church is still in a whole -- hole that it was not taken out of, but they can do something about it. thank you but no thank you. i listened to reports being made, people talking about stuff that don't have nothing to do with what is really going on. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. are there other speakers who wish to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, any other questions? given that there are no questions at this time, i know this is going to be an item that will continue to be before us, whether through another hearing or through the budget, and there's a lot of things to be ironed out still. so if we could continue this item to the call of the chair. we will continue this item th

i am glad to be here with a supervisor ki r dm b dubie director, oewd, and our community ambassadors. then with our deputy chief of police. we're all here to make the hard announcement, because this is a soft opening before i knew about it, that dottie's cafe decided to move here. a year ago, this was a passion cafe. i had lunch here with a couple of commissioners and felt very comfortable with it a year ago as we saw the changes that were bringing -- that were in collaboration with business partners, neighbors, business owners, the community benefits districts, and market changes. i think the move here that dottie's cafe has decided to take. from joan street, they grew to twice the square footage. they now have 24 employees to operate the restaurant. standing next to me is kurt. congratulations for wonderful decision. the lines are already out, and you're twice as big. this is wonderful. i want to make it official. on behalf of the city, behalf of our board and the city working together to make this whole area revitalized with our arts world, with our nonprofits, and then with a lot

i would like to give a very special thanks to oewd who has been instrumental and supportive.his coming thursday at 6:00 p.m.-exact location, we will be having a needs assessment workshops to determine the needs of the neighborhood in hopes of continuing to make the portola of better place. we still have a lot to do. we're confident that with the mayors of the city's continued support, we're going to get some great things accomplished. thank you, mayor lee, for your commitment to helping the portola and other san francisco neighborhoods. [applause] >> ok, next we have a member of sin city coffee, one of the first revolving loan applicants. [applause] >> thank you all for coming. i did not really expect to see all of you here. 15 months ago i was laid off. with $25 and a big dream, i often -- and opened a little coffee shop. amy came around six or seven months later asking if i would like to open another one. i said, if you believe in me, i will take a chance. the biggest gamble ever did. mayor lee, your staff rocks. thank you so much. i know what i do open, each and every sing

considering the question of if there is an oversaturation, i think we have talked enough about the oewd plan and can put that aside. on the mission mcd's, i was very concerned about the two locating on the same block. again and again, we have asked for the board of supervisors or another entity within the city to help us with tools, with legislation to use clustering or oversaturation or another indicator as a reason to make decisions. without that tool, it is very hard to use it. when i compare this to the mission situation, i do feel like there is a two on one block, but the third was 1 mile away. i see that there are four located around. common sense wise, there is some sense of oversaturation. as far as findings, i do not think that i could support denying the project sponsor. >> commissioners, the motion on the floor is to not take discretionary review and approve the project as prose. with the caveat that there are safety programs -- their safety program is to do it -- to go through the approval process of the centers as a police department. on that motion -- commissioner antonini

we have had conversations with directors at oewd, human services agency, and even though they do have to book its services, with the elimination of redevelopment, that creates a service debt. i do believe in efficiency. i understand that it would be great for another government entity to pick up the funding, but that is not the case. there are no more dollars that are dedicated to restoring the funding. i cannot begin to tell you how many organizations, with their participants to receive assistance in mitigation funding for driver's license issues, reentry restitution, union dues, that the participants as well can be connected, and our jobs are not just in connection with construction jobs. there is going to be a huge gap. services will be eliminated as of june 30 in terms of the funding we receive from this. we're talking about $1.2 million of loss of human capital. just for the record, in 2011, organizations like young community developers place over 50% of participants, so this is critical funding to making drug connections, so thank you. >> thank you. -- supervisor chu: thank you.

and then oewd for adjustment workforce things. any enforcement actions, should they believe the agreement is not being lived up to, will be done through the city attorney. to remind you, in terms of remedies for non-performance, in an addition to the standard monetary damages and specific performance which any contract like this would have, this development agreement is also characterized by specific liquidated damages pertaining to non-performance on the health-care obligations in the development agreement, which are performance and not money- related. so there needs to be liquidated damages for those. and the st. luke's operating commitment. just to wrap up the development agreement portion of our presentation, this slide goes over -- as you know, we have given you suggested changes in the development agreement. most of those are clean-up. a couple that rise slightly above the level of clean-up but in general are not major changes are noted here. in health care, we have made it clear that the innovation fund can be used to provi

rhonda simmons, director of workforce development for oewd. i am here to present on the work force portion of the dba. i have been before you in the past to talk about both construction opportunities as well as use opportunities in this project. first i want to address the construction portion and the opportunities available there. we are anticipating that roughly 1500 construction jobs will be created on this project. we have worked in partnership with cpmc to work out a workforce plan that allows a 30% local hire, first stores are good faith program, for san francisco residence by trade, which is unique in the grand scheme of things. we have also negotiated and worked with them to work out an entry level construction admin intern program that calls for 50% of san francisco residents local hire. that coincides with a two-year- old program we run, the construction administrative program. that is a little different than people getting trained for pre- apprenticeship. it gets them trained on the professional service side, which gives us more opp

i am the oewd liaison, and i presented all of the members at hackett this week about the wicac.e investing in our commitment to our cb a work force providers and want to ensure that their voice is heard throughout our work force system. we work very closely with each member, so we are definitely trying to instill new ways of addressing, you know, barriers to employment for the job seekers that come through and utilize any and all of our services. supervisor kim: thank you so much for being here. colleagues, at this time, we can open up for discussion. i do want to first of all thank all of our 10 applicants who applied for the four seats that we have available for the workforce investment community advisory committee. i read all of your applications, and i know you have also spoken to our office, and was truly impressed by the breadth of experience and also the passion in serving and getting our young people and our adults employed and working here in san francisco. it is one of our mayor's priorities, and i know it is a priority of many of us on the board of supervisors, so tha

. >> even in his press conference he allow oewded to that, i feel that i've offended this community.zie being ozzie, as joan said, is right and he's said lamentable things. vie to imagine a number of managers and players over the course of the years have said really lamentable, offensive things. to be suspended for making political comments that were dumb, i think that's a little weird, bordering on free speech issues. >> i totally think it's bordering on free -- say what you like -- >> i'm no fan of fidel, but that's weird. >> should you not talk about your own personal political beliefs in. >> as a birdie told me, isn't it ironic that he's exercising free speech, talking about the leader of a country that doesn't allow free speech. >> yes. >> this is what the anti-cuban, anti-castro hard-liners of the united states do all the time, use intimidation against people who want to change u.s. policy in cuba, in the service of greater democracy in cuba, there's a lot of hypocrisy that goes on. >> if you muzzle ozzie guillen, get him the of the game. >> speaking of the u.s. constitution, a
