programs, similar to programs we have run in the past. we have a lead-remediation program. we recently completed a green retrofit program, and we do housing counseling and foreclosure prevention. the housing trust fund also includes a provision to fund programs such as these, housing stabilization programs, really intended to reduce the risk to current occupants of loss of housing through, again, foreclosure prevention, energy improvements, and the like. finally, the housing trust fund includes a number of provisions that are intended to spur market rate development. those are intended to help lower residential production costs, provide increase development, support growth in areas that are zoned for growth, spurred stalled projects, and provide incentives and flexibility for on-site bmr production. the housing trust fund does two things related to lowering production costs, but first, it will lower the on site inclusion area obligation. you can fulfill the obligation either by producing it on site, off site, or paying a fee, and the hous

losp program. my program was one of the recipients of the funding. we were able to leverage the funds that were otherwise not available to keep us open in the mission. we house about 87% spanish multilingual speakers, of which all of our staff are bilingual. without this subsidy, we would not be able to give culturally- all the services to our tenants. 48% of our tenants are zero income, and the average income is less than $2,500 a year. on behalf of our tenants, our agency, we're here to give strong support to the losp program. thank you. supervisor farrell: thank you very much. are there any other members of the public that wish to comment? see none, public comment is closed. colleagues, we had this item before us. i would like to entertain a motion to refer this item to the full board of the committee report with positive recommendation. motion made by president chiu. we take that without objection. item number 3. mr. clerk, can you call item number four, please? >> item number four, hearing for

or profit criminally off the program our biggest case was a c.e.o. of a financial situation down in florida called c.b.w. which actually had conspired with another bank colonial bank to steal more than a half a billion dollars of tarp funds and we were able to stop that fraud before the money went out the door and lock up a bunch of the bankers who are you know who are involved in that fraud including that c.e.o. is now serving thirty years and we also saw a lot of fraud that i think that would have been preventable which was fraudsters taking advantage of struggling homeowners through that broken bad mortgage modification program you know that we've had debt if i had i'd seen similar schemes from my prosecutorial career and i remember literally begging the treasury department to go out there with information campaigns for advertising so as to warn homeowners about this type of fraud in advance fee fraud where basically bad guys promise to get modifications for upfront fees and do nothing but unfortunately treasury really ignored my concerns and and

we have increased $150,000 to that program. last but not least, realistic, which is responsible for the property management of over 4 million square feet of promises and different locations throughout the city. this budget is based on work orders. for those departments that are in city-owned buildings, we have over 1 million square feet of the city-around space. -- city-pound space. 100,000 square feet of leases. the operational budget is static, but the fuel budget for the fleet is increasing by $1.8 million. we have an aging fleet, so the office of budget has agreed to replace a certain amount to minimize the increase on the department's budget. and we will submit the effort by july 1st the effort the city is an undertaking to repair replace its fleet. -- to replace its fleet. and finally, the contract my touring unit. the mayor's office is proposing to transfer the local business compliance unit and the domestic unit from the city administrator's office, hopefully with an effective date of july 1st, 2012. the goal for the fu

is part of the source improvement program. they are not just one off projects. that is our work plan for the next 12 months. we will issue request for proposals as we develop a communications plan, which we hope to have done by next spring. we appreciate the commission's interest, specifically around the education and outreach, because we think it is integral to get by with support because the neighborhoods will be so impacted but can truly benefit from these programs. i am happy to answer any questions. vice president torres: what was the nature of the demographics for the focus groups? >> we worked with a company and there were five focus groups. vice president torres: they all came from hunters bayview? >> no, they did not. there was one done with chinese residents, one done with spanish-speaking homeowners, one with -- vice president torres: why

thomasson's program. he has taught me how to save my money, budget it, i remember one of the first classes i went to, we talked about how to buy your first car and as a kid, i want all these amenities, and what the stereo and the rims and all that. he taught me to scale back and all that stuff is not worth it. as far as just that, budgeting and he also had an impact on me on what i want to study in college. i will be attending college in the fall. the program itself influenced me and told me what i wanted to major in. >> my name is maurice mccook. i found bill through merrill lynch. i was walking through telling everyone i wanted to be a hedge fund manager. the guy was like, i know a guy who used to be a hedge fund manager. i came out to the class and i was like, i started learning a lot more, i started learning about how to evaluate companies, how to present companies, ended up giving me an internship at thomson-reuters and he also influenced me. he was a big part in influencing my taking the gmat exam,

those are the worst impacts on the program since the inception of the program. we are not pleased about that. i am personally involved with our project team and consultants and contractors to closely monitor what our options are. i am keeping upper management apprised on a regular basis. we are still very early on on this project. it is only 20% complete. there are other large risk areas that could have further impacts. >> that would definitely affect -- >> it would reduce significantly the amount of available money in the reserve. it will not push us over the overall cost of the program, but that nice reserve of $144 million will be significantly eroded. we are now a accelerating work on the eastern segment of the pipeline system project in an effort to meet permitting deadline of october 21 -- october 31. you will recall that we chose to accelerate that work to make sure we make that deadline. we will incur cost to do that, but those costs are lower than just allowing the project to continue through the next allowable seasonal window, which will begin next may

p public private investment program sounds an ascent but as you say it was designed by wall street for wall street and what i found so i guess creative about this was that for a financial crisis built on leverage that the so-called solution which was tarp that wall street and our policymakers found a way to use leverage with the programs that were supposed to solve the problem of too much leverage so i guess it's no shocker you say it was designed by wall street because you explain that assessment and why that happened and what impact it had. well this was a program that was announced by secretary tim geithner secretary treasury in february of zero nine and you know the time i was of course responsible fighting oversight of the bailout and we sort of knew something was coming we heard a little some of the details but as we kept pressing within treasury to get some actual mechanics and details they kept putting us off putting us off putting us off and so those details emerged and it turned out it was originally intended to be a trillion dollar program that had that was so riddled with t

and the education and outreach program. those funds provided funding for the coalition to do education and outreach for 15 elementary schools throughout san francisco. we have a map that identifies those schools. anna will go through the specific programs. the funding for the past school year, 2011-2012, and the next school year, 2012-2013. the presentation goes after the first year, lessons learned and what of bids are happening for next year's program. it is also timely because the region mtc has developed another regional program. $20 million throughout the region. san francisco receives a $1.4 million. we will be doing a call for projects for those funds probably in the winter of 2013. we need our project list to mtc by june of 2013. in the next presentation, we will talk about the one bay area funds but we have a set-aside for the school funds. the way we are currently thinking about it is that the one bay area funds will be for infrastructure projects, whereas this will be for a continuation and enhancement of this sa

programs. we have a very intense professional development training program. so we train people that have gone through the system that have expressed an interest, and they have the propensity to help others. we help them, you know, to get the certifications that they need to grow with us. and that's really important in terms of being able to get the street credibility with the residents that are coming through our programs. to see that, you know, not only is our program successful for, you know, our graduates in terms of having literally turned into a job that they see someone, you know, working day to day, that's successful but also, it's an inspiration, you know, and it's a role model and it's a mentoring opportunity for us to offer the residents that come through our program. so i can tell you that we have a very high retention rate of our own employees, and employers in the community have grown to trust us. very good. gary, how do you work with, in partnership with some of the folks that are

the second question is, being a new program but trailing on existing programs and improving those -- has the mayor's office determine what the cost of this is going to be administratively? >> we have not done a budget -- administrative budget for the management, but we will do that. commissioner sugaya: thank you. commissioner fong: i need to call public comment. we have questions from commissioners, and that we have this one speaker card, so i will go a little bit out of order. i did call public comment? public, was close. we went to commissioner comments and questions. ok. >> [inaudible] commissioner fong: thank you. commissioners, any other questions or comments? thank you. >> ok, commissioners, thank you. that would conclude the informational presentation for item 13. you are now on item 14, case 2012.0901t, threshold for application of inclusion area affordable housing. >> i would note that to the extent that it relates to the ballot measure, the same precautionary advice i gave before the prior item would apply. you may discuss and make recommendation on this particular item, b

bass of your program -- became the ambassador or program. good evenin>> how many people a? >> 18 or so people. >> what percentage do you expect? you have a sense of the diversity or the individuals you plan on hiring? >> we do work very hard to make sure the work force is diversified. of we have a large number of women and asian and latin speaking as part of the program. >> i really appreciate, having seen many individuals who have come through dpw, i appreciate the diversity in gender and race, and i did not realize the requirement was there. it is amazing, and it is a model for other programs. i appreciate your willingness. >> it gives us an opportunity to work with them for a long time. it is something that happens in a couple years, so they are able to defend expectations, the way we transition and build them into our work force. good >practice seems like a pato continue -- >> it seems like a pathway to continue training. good. i appreciate that you have the power to move people on with their career. >> we do have a number of staff, over 100 plus staff who are bilingual

we estimate that the 30-year program, over the course of the program, revenues based on the $10 vehicle registration fee, for 30 years, $150 million, about $5 million annually. you can see the breakdown of the revenue on this slide among the three categories established within the expenditure plan. sf reconstruction. pedestrian safety. transit reliability and mobility. to clarify, some examples of what we need for eligible project types under pedestrian safety, that might include sidewalk widening, pedestrian signals, or lighting. under reliability and mobility, a better understanding of what sorts of projects, that might mean transit station improvements, signal priority, or transit way finding. committee first saw the draft policy in april. they are meant to provide guidance on managing the prop aa program. the policies are based largely on prop k programs but tailored to fit the smaller scale in terms of revenue and number of programmatic categories. including the abysses on benefits and short-term and to reflect the guiding principles. we have done outreach to potential project spo

we are calling this program the swim club pilot program. i mentioned, lessons will take place at garfield pull in the mission district, and students will walk from their school site to the pool -- lessons will take place at garfield schoo -- garfield pool. the programs are designed for kids ages 6 and up, which is really when kids can master the stroke. we are targeting third graders, but we will accommodate fourth and fifth graders as well, and each child were participate one time poll -- will participate 1 time per week. i would like to say a few words -- i have worked on this program now for a few months, so i have had a wonderful pleasure of getting to know ms. raiser. she is an incredible person, and we are lucky to have her support. i have described her as a philanthropist in the past. i would like to use that word again. it oftentimes sounds so overused, but it is very true with helen. the origin of the word shows that it means the love of humanity, and she deeply cares about san francisco and is committed to provide an opportunity f

that's one program.there are manies could the technology developing in aircraft, the technology that supports how we manage our businesses, all of that is -- continues to evolv at a very rapid rate. second i want to promote a shared responsibility for safety oversight. both industry and government are responsible for ensuring that safety measures are fully met. it's not one of -- one party's responsibility or the others. we can't do it if we don't do it together, and we can't do it without the active participation of one another. third, we will face major changes within the faa and our work force in the coming years. a little more than 30% of faa employees will be eligible to retire starting in 2014. so, for us, succession planning remains a crucial aspect of our focus as an agency. and we must realize that we will begin to lose a vast amount of corporate knowledge in the coming years. to prepare for that, what we need to do is impt that knowledge to today's emerging leaders and experts, to ensure that w

we now enter into this long term program.ave advised the board to closely listened to the feedback that is being provided so that a permanent sales program can be put in place that meets the needs of the industry, the drivers, the mta, and the public that uses this valuable transportation system. we came prepared to this meeting to offer of some suggestions. they have been proposed in the amendments and we prefer those amendments as proposed. the other amendment that we would like you to consider is to look at a program to provide downpayment assistance to those that are purchasing medallions. having strong industry support and readily available market for purchasers will strengthen the loan underwriting process and we urge the board to carefully consider the amendments as proposed. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> i would like to commend the director for being opened to thd and i concur completely with those proposed changes. i think that the outrage has been simmered, that was caused by the initial proposal. the old s

i will get into that program later in my presentation. with regard to the work force, they have served 2709 individuals as of april 30. 657 are of limited english proficiency, about 24%. with regard to work force, the budget is projected to grow in fiscal year 2012-2013. that is largely due to federal grants. there are three department of labor grant initiatives we are currently working on. one is a technical training grant, a disability program and an enhanced job demonstration project. this together total about $10 million. ongoing programs include our job readiness service and the ongoing projects serve about 4000 residents per year and 8000 youth, about 2000 job placements and the director of the workforce development is here to elaborate on anything you like to inquire about regarding work force. with regard to the film budget, the overall production has increased by about 3% since last year. we have seen the number of -- the number that has applied for the rebate program has grown significantly. there were only three feature films b

losp program. my program was one of the recipients of the funding. we were able to leverage the funds that were otherwise not available to keep us open in the mission. we house t

another program we have is the visible intermodal provision and response program. that's an essential element for us because when you study terrorism and look at what happened on 9/11 or the train bombings in london or madrid or even the mumbai incident, you look at the number of preoperational surveillance that was done by the terrorists themselves to conduct and pick their targets. so the vipir program is a random intelligence-driven program to put visible and covert personnel into the transportation domain to detect, deter and defeat these terrorists. i think it's important to understand the global reach of terrorism. when you look at mumbai, and we study all these terrorist events, about the people, the americans -- david headley who participated in the preoperation surveillance for that attack in mumbai. as i said, the vipir program utilizes a risk-based deployment model, and the state and local officer also have responsibility for the domain. they're strategically positioned throughout the nation to identify and mitigate threats by augmenting local assets. vi
