i don't count that as outreach. i think we should be very specific about what outreach means. i know there has been a strong partnership with idc, and who actually hired youth. it's an amazing opportunity for those two young people. but i just think we have to be careful what we talk about outreach. if you are talking about an organization in the district. why i expect outreach is what you sat down with. the youth, the parents that are unemployed, i don't think this is their understanding of what this was about. >> it's my understand ing that they went to speak there. >> they came to the meeting, it's not outreach to me. it's a good start. i think that, the reason why we are having this hearing is not related to pin anyone on the wall, but it's to give feedback. i think whether we talk about outreach, we would like to see deeper outreach in the neighborhood. i think we want to hear about it and as supervisors we spend a lot of time in our district. we hear a lot from our community and organizers when we fee like real meaning full relationships are happening. i would like to se

. >> what is the outreach, the method that you used to outreach people to get the information that we have this great opportunity and you should come participate and be a part of it? >> i will do a little bit but i'm going to have carol speak a lot about that. the way we do it for the city is through our community based organizations and there is a number of orientation and presentations that happened throughout the city. i will let her go into more detail around that. >> okay. does that conclude your portion? >> yes. >> okay. carol varoneey, you are up next. carol is the executive director for the bay vac. >> thank you ronda and supervisors for having us here today. there are different ways that we are strategizing for placement. i will go that into the next slide. by providing programs, we have networking events and zammer and that provides the at some point to meet recruiters and talk about their skills which today's hiring managers are looking for employees to work with. they get to meet people who they might employ, they sit on our career panels and they come and do portfolio rev

pretty much the only outreach that you could have done in that area. >> right. that's all i have. >> so question. so live music and dj's so you're doing all your own programming? are you going to rent the club to people that have dj's that want to use your space? >> no. i didn't plan on renting the club. there a dj they used and jimmy hits and does a good job. keeps the kids happy. there is event on state college and the kids come every thursday. >> and you feel comfortable with one security guard. >> no, i don't. >> so you're going to -- >> two. i want one inside. i was there and the previous owner was running it and you need somebody inside. >> okay. >> if i might also add this is taravaland what is the cross street. >> 34th. >> they're in a neighborhood commercial corridor. this has been a bar for a long, long, long time, and just for context i think what you will see is improvements being made here opposed to anything substantially changing in a negative way. this is an improvement. >>i understand. sometimes new owners -- you know, they miss a few steps so i

again i would like to thank the office of small business for the outreach. when some of these neighborhoods see what the other neighborhoods are doing is catching on; i am excited that we have 17 neighborhoods here. we had a fundraising goal of 170,000 and a fundraising goal we met and raised 187,000. so thank you everybody who was involved in that. lots of phone calls. that is my president's report. we are on the buses now. the guides are in; we have guides in the office of small business; take them, stop buying and get them out to your neighborhoods. -- who is getting the word out, let small businesses know throughout the city. that's it. >> is the start at 10 o'clock? >> flavor starts at 5:30. >> also in your binder is a small list of honorees that we have so far along with the previous year honorees. >> are those coming from the supervisors' office. >> supervisors and the mayor. >> district 10 and 4, 6,1 are still not in yet. >> chair adams: next item. >> commissioners, number 11, vice president's report. >> nothing to report. >> 12, commissioner reports

outreach. obviously first all of the outreach in connection with the eir was done two years ago. they held a meeting on february 28 with the representatives of the marina community association, golden gate valley neighborhood association and other groups. they had a meeting on march 12 which i attended, and seem to address concerns raised at that time. they have distributed -- this is my older presentation. they distributed letters back in march and we received one comment which we responded to and the discussions with the st. francis are just about finalized. that is my presentation. actually i want to cover one other thing. there have been comments submitted about the repairs to little marina green that went to the commission and i wanted to explain my understanding what happened there. first marina green is a difficult surface to maintain grass. it is a clay based and landfill base. it doesn't allow water to percolate. in case of heavy rain we do get large poolings of water and once it hits the saturation points the water pools at marina green. when the pictures were taken --

and this will be included with our community outreach. so, thank you again for your consideration and i'm here for any questions. >> okay, thank you. >> so, as diana said, this was an ordinance that the commission heard last year and it is the same ordinance that was passed by the board of supervisors last year. however, it's slightly different than what the commission voted on. as far as planning commission is concerned, the ordinance would waive awning and sign permits for the month of may for small businesses. the ordinance designs small business as one with 500 or fewer employees. ~ define. however, supervisor tang would like to revise that so that it's 100 employees. last year the original version of the ordinance only waves fees for awning replacements. the commission recommended that the ordinance be expanded to also include ~ signs on awnings. the final version of the orbtionv included awnings as well as all signs. so, not just signs on awnings. the ordinance included all signs, it doesn't appear that the building department waive

so you have some businesses and what is your outreach plan to the other businesses around you? >> well, i have walked around and i have spoken with our neighbors which is another bar and a grocery store and they were all in support. we've also had some other -- like a -- what is that business? the art gallery that was there so they have all welcome today because it brings in more clients for them. we bring in a lot of local businesses that bring and entertain their clients in our spot so it's definitely -- did i answer your question? >> supervisor yee. >> so in these -- in your package there are some drawings, illustrationses that seems to be -- and you might have already said there. but it looks like you're going to have a full bar there. >> that's actually -- >> are these lotions? >> i'm sorry? >> those are products. >> products. >> retail. >> yeah, we're expanding our retail as well, so all that would be -- that one area that we're taking out our nail dryer, our reception area it's going to be a combination where people check in, where people purchase their products. >> what

and that's what the whole hook is, getting out and doing the outreach to the kids. so, i mean, yes, prevention, that's the tack we took and it was a good deal because these guys, bill, this is not their main thing. the main thing is being a leader and presenting this message but at the end of our presentation to the fte, at the end of the semester when we complete something, they get a scholarship at the end. so that money goes back into the community. the kids spend it in school or out in the community so it just revolves. so it's a win-win for us. the money gets paid to these guys and they put it back in the community and when they walk around and some of the kids, all the kids are local, they will see the kids at burger king, hey, i saw you guys. so these guys are real in the community. >> it's also for us that a lot of these people here have done this many times. i know it's not for the money because it's not that much. they get about $350, something like that, we measure it by the hours they show up, if they did a rehearsal or a performance, obviously they're n

we all struggle with outreach. the planning department and mta, this is something that just exist because not everyone receives e-mails and takes text message. i certainly, seniors in the community not necessarily your particular demographic but seniors are still not texting as probably the most of us are in this room. so i think the best take away is we want this to work in our community. we want to represent people of color and women that achieve do see or that you do not see in the tech industry. this is the beginning, the beginning of it. i don't want you to feel that we are beating you up. this is a six month program that is going to be developed out in the next several years. the feedback is for all of you. the other partners and even rhonda as a director what we are trying to do that we as a city are committed. we want it to be successful. we have this big picture. like supervisor breed mentioned in the comment that we are the pipeline for the next generation. so what that looks like is providing educational

we hope to go with the program outreach with the techsf outreach and we know many of our colleagues have been doing this kind of relationship building and i know this grant is a way for all our colleagues to come together and share their best practices. i talked a little bit about the youth pathway, the other thing i want to mention as far as the employer pathway and jobs and connections. we have 85 percent placed and currently employed and many of the skills we teacher videography, film production and web design and often the jobs out there are freelance jobs and that's something to keep in mine. sometimes the first stepping stone is finding your freelancer. bay tech is located in the industrial center. there are 300 other businesses there. part of the planning and research with did that led up to this internship program even before techsf was to actually survey the local businesses that are there. so you have start up people who started who is working in another start up in our building. we found that many of the local businesses want to work with our interns. as a matter of fact we ha

i was doing more of the community outreach. i was sharing information with him over the phone and also since he doesn't have a computer you have to go a little bit further. one of his questions was capacity issue which is over a hundred, so he wanted to know the extent because technically it's a full service restaurant, but because the space has 2 rather large private dining areas, that composed quite a bit of the space. this will a restaurant and continue to be a restaurant. at the same time we are looking at opportunities to work with some of the non-profits looking for venues like this and especially the fact that it has a brisk business during the day monday through friday because where it's situated and saturday and sunday it's pretty slow. so this is a perfect opportunity to have some corporate events and non-profit events and provide a home for those venues. i think over all it has a lot of potential and this applicant would like to actualized that potential. >> thank you, seeing no further comment. matters with the comm

we would be able to outreach to more communities.and in addition we would be going out and doing, going onto the supervisors' office and let them know. so they cannot reach to the communities as well. i would like to request the support for this ordinance and if you have any questions. >> chair adams: any commissioner questions? >> i'm curious last year how many people apply for this period? >> 10 fee waivers, four for sign permits, but we expect that we will get more with the more information, -- we do not have as much time this year to really outreach and the people know agree are hoping with the continuity of this fee waiver during small business month that people will in advance now that this is a process they have to go through and we'll get more applications this year. we were before the building inspection committee last week, and one of the supervisor suggested we had a contest so we are getting creative with getting out the information this year. >> chair adams: commissioner riley? >> commissioner riley: is there considerati

it looks like he did plenty of outreach and took it very

outreach will be done and a list will be presented to the board in july, and then additional outreach will take place through october where the public has another opportunity to weigh in on what they would like to see funded in their neighborhood for pedestrian safety improvements with approval by the board in december and more information is available at www. sfgtv .org mta. i will note there is expenditure plans and the 10-dollar registration fee and those register in san francisco pay annually. about 1.2 million is allocated for pedestrian safety improvements annually so that is another funding source that the authority manages and i do also want to make a plug for www. my street sf. this is a google map application where the public can search for projects in their community, in their specific district, of a type of project. you can search by pedestrian safety projects. it doesn't measure curb ramps or sidewalk repairs because they come to us in a large volume, but it tells you what is under way and you can see how implementation is going and once the five year plan comes in we wil

i am supportive now of the extensive outreach and supervisor zane kim who is supportive because of that i will willing to be supportive but open to ideas of continuing as well. supervisor yee. >> before i decide on that piece can i have alu come up again. can you -- what was the rational for disapproval in. >> well, let me say this. we're not against them or a spa that serve alcohol. there is the planning -- it's the type of license also -- it's a type 42 license is basically a beer and wine bar tavern, so that is the license so no minor under 21 is allowed to go into any area that is registered with abc. they have to register abc, the area they're going to serve, store alcohol, so no one under 21 is allowed. that's by state law, so i don't know the day we design their area where they will serve, where they will not serve, where under 21 is allowed, so it's sort of -- improvement plan we haven't received, and it's sort of sketchy at this point because basically if you grant a 42 type license and anybody under 21 is not allowed, and also they can serve alcohol anywhere within the diagram

it's outreach and bonding kids together. america's cup offers insight into what the possibilities are for the future. maybe not for every sailor but for some ambitious kids so we're very pleased that you are hopefully supporting this process and will vote in favor of the permits. thank you. >> thank you. >> bruce. >> in general the boaters are in favor of this activity because we like to promote boating. we are disappointed there was no outreach to the harbor association. you picked a lot of airkzs and cal hallow and not on the waterfront. it's like you're afraid to talk to us because we filed a lawsuit. we are trying to have a dialogue without the lawyers and open to that to resolve issues. as far as the activity you're going to permit and i recommend that you permit but however you should realize that people are inconvenienced by this and the city of san francisco hopes to gain money and prestige like the exposition and after the earthquake and we agree with that and what if nobody comes and you gave valuable real estate t

i have my colleague here to talk about the outreach. it is a program that this department has done and i will ask cynthia to share about the outreach. >> good morning. the grant that we are considering today would primarily -- the funds would primarily focus on district 10 and recruiting certified used motor oil collection centers and increase recycling and grass root outreach to the do it yourselfers and those mechanics so we would like to recruit additional sites and have public events in district district 7, 10 and 11 and in those areas and we do plan to in fact a campaign to promote a decreased oil change frequency by busting the 3,000-mile myth through grass-roots outreach and we also want to work with motorcyclists on their changing and recycling and also on the waterfront we plan to focus on san francisco marina yacht harbor reaching out to the boaters through the program and the abandoned oil left at the waterfront and educate the voters on the famous free home collection. they have access to that program and we will continue to

some of my feedback on how we can do deeper outreach. just sitting here and thinking about what bay vac does, i think maybe we can talk about how bay vac can actually train our cbo's either the staff members or youth leaders spending time in the program to run classes or if they can be the one teaching classes. the one thing that is a barrier if the instructors themselves don't look like you or aren't from the neighborhoods that they are from. i think being to have an instructor that went from the high school and they stand up here. i know the street you fwru up in. i went to the schools. i think that already takes away one barrier i feel. i think part of the -- i don't want to call it intimidation but feeling it's not your place, your space in not seeing those folks. i think we have amazing organizations who is staff grew up in the neighborhoods that maybe can go to a different place and actually help one the programs from cyc or mow magic. just a couple ideas out there. they already know the youth and they will drive the young people t

what kind of outreach are you planning to do? >> i would like to start hosting things with local neighborhood businesses. we have a relationship with commission boeing house and i would like to establish business with other local businesses to host events concurrent with our business venues. >> are you looking into business organizations as well some >> absolutely. i just moved into the mission myself 6 months ago so i'm still trying to figure out where they are. >> i'm going to make the suggestion that you contact your supervisors office or go to the website that has all the neighborhood business lotions. most of the complaints we hear are by noise and crowds. it's imperative if you are to fit into neighborhood fabric that you reach out to community organizations or not for profits in the area things like that. >> okay. thank you. >> all right. no more? okay. one more. >> on your security plan i don't have the details on your situation. how many guards do you have now? >> 2-3. >> if you go to 3. >> it will be 3. all right. >> al
