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 more trouble matching the needs around the local hiring and prevailing wage and about local hire >> okay. >> the second exemption for projects for special events where the special event is 3 days or few consequent or no one consequent things like 2 day events in the park or where the event is lessons e.r. less than that 3 days. the third exemption is for construction projects where it's fund by a donors agent where the gift agreement didn't require the city funds to be used for construction and the workers be paid the same prevailing wages. those are in the package you have before you >> and this last project in particular evading the work on the playground; is that correct? >> yes. rec and park described a project there's a potential donor to give out that entire pro

oewd. and we have todd ruffo. thank you, mr. ruffo. whenever you're ready, mr. ruffo, go ahead. >> thank you, supervisors, chair farrell, members of the committee. thanks to the mayor's budget office as well as harvey rose's office for this year's budget. i'll provide a brief overview of our budget and discuss the current year outcome and our new initiative related to the year ahead. our fiscal 14-15 budget is 36.1 million dollars. that's down from a 13-14 budget of 39.2, a decrease of about 3.1 million dollars. decrease hees principally resulted in removal of one-time sources. in our 13-14 budget. total fte, we have 6ftes in this year's budget to bring total count to 92.5. in terms of highlights for the current year, as you all know, our unemployment rate today stands at 4.4%. this is down from 9.5% in 2011. that said, 21,000 residents remain unemployed and that remains a focus, [speaker not understood]. that's why we continue to implement "er manufacturing factor initiative which is focused on key manufacturing sectors, spreading the growthedthv we've [speaker

it's an enter agency approach with public and private partners and oewd and planning are working closely together in a variety of different ways. there's a number of programs that run out of our vice president now under the development umbrella like the loan programs and the improvement grants and the new leasing sups and online calls sf to help the store line spaces and others assistance for the wide consortiums that assistance businesses like cleaning and greening and bifurcation. the focus is the health of the commercial corridor so on strengthening the individual businesses and on improving each corridor in the neighborhoods was provided an initial assessment done in yungs with the neighborhood and those are still available on sf.org have provided a conversation we've been having around formula retail. our office participatedtively in the study we helped to pencil the selection and contributed data and contributed to the neighborhood selection and working closely with the planning department on the policy recommendation. the key issues related to formula retail from the invest in nei

topic is here and requested a couple which minutes >> i'm ken irish standing in for the director of oewd i wanted to say something ems i spent several years on this i think we largely got it right and glad that we were able to see the results in the hearing. pdr is a topic we care deeply about today unemployment in the city is down to 4.4 percent down from 9 percent every sector is growing trade and transport and merchandising is growing faster than the national afternoon and mayor ed lee is supporting the manufacturing sector a priority as part of the 17 point jobs plan oewd launched an initiative for the merchandising businesses this included first hiring a sector manager to manage the work and if tiffany can raise her hand she helps businesses to in fact, city government and helps them access resources and connects pdr businesses to other pdr services and develops sub sector like the food and beverage sector perhaps i'm going to give out tiffany's phone number you may want to phone number (5) 540-6559 sorry no home phone number. the invest in the neighborhoods and the off office of sm

. >> next invite up oewd sorry i didn't see you behind the big podium. >> good afternoon. it's great to be back before you today. as you all know the office of workforce development the mission of our organization is to retain and train san franciscans for those jobs and we see language access as a core fundamental aspect for our job to achieve that mission to be successful we see it as a core function of our department the slide in front of you actually gives a little bit of background and we remain very very focussed on not just serving and providing language access to all of our business and workforce clients but also making sure that we're working closely with them so i want to go through two key areas that we focus on first in our economic development and then workforce development. economic development we have bilingual staff who are specifically focussed on providing direct business service to small businesses in particular where they are located. this team in our office it's part of the mayors jobs plan and it's two team members. working throughout the city to prov

francisco residents at a 50% level for new positions and both of those programs are administered by oewd. i think one of the benefits of entering into an agreement with oewd is getting behind the efforts rather than creating separate referral systems and so forth, we can build on oew's successes in terms of academy, and the referral process. in terms of work force comparison in particular, and that's what we looked at for this report, construction work forces, what i've put up on the screen is briefly comparison of the ocii program and the city of san francisco's construction work force program. the payment of prevailing wage, as i mentioned, is unique and [inaudible] in the sense that many of ocii's projects are not publicly funded, per se. they're private projects, but we do require developers to employ prevailing wage requirements. with the city of san francisco those are public contracts and by definition, those projects are subject to prevailing wage. we have a work force requirement that cost an overall 50% work force hiring of san francisco residents, city of san francisco of cour

this would be a collaboration between oewd, ocd as well as the arts commission. finally with community benefit districts our budget also includes one fte to support and meet the demand for cbd formation in the city. and as a point that supervisor avalos made last year, we remain very, very focused on continually refining the invested neighborhood strategy to be customized to the needs of the neighborhood and to be driven by the needs of the community and the stakeholders there. and we are constantly in iterative to make sure we're refining the programs for our purpose. i do want to say as i close we are in agreement with the budget analyst recommendation and that we'd like to particularly thank katy short, our budget analyst and i'd like to thank [speaker not understood] for his work on this budget. thank you. >> thank you, [speaker not understood]. colleagues, any questions, comments? okay, mr. rose, can we go to your report, please? >> yes, mr. chairman, and members of the committee. on page 29 of our report i recommended reduction to the proposed budget total

ken rich again from oewd. a couple of points.eally don't have the ability to reach forward in time and [speaker not understood]. the reason we're comfortable is the property that uc has indicated they would move out in 2018 and 2022 would put about twice as much funds back into the general fund as we're foregoing through the pilot. so, even -- we have a margin of error of 100%. even if only half those properties were released and we think it will be more, we would still come out ahead. not to mention you may have noticed in the newspaper covering the last few days, on large lowell heights property, ihop i don't have the number, many numbers of more magnitude of tax money potential. uc has reached an exclusive negotiating number with two local developers to go ahead and develop that property. and, so, laurel heights would put many order of magnitude more back on the tax roll and that's moving forward. we don't have a guarantee, but we have a lot of room for error. even if some of the properties didn't go back on the tax rolls, we
