not depending upon federal or state government any longer for the programs we need to make our city successful. the building blocks of our economic growth have been very clear. we are attracting and retaining jobs through our tech and biotech companies and are cleaned at companies. we have invested an want to continue our investment in small businesses. in my plan as i ran for mayor, we focused on job creation. we focused on creating a $5 million small business job loan program for our neighborhood commercial corridors. we are creating a job squad to make sure that our vacancies are reduced throughout all of the commercial corridors in our city, but i am very interested in making sure we have an opportunity to manufacture things in san francisco. we are joined by our director of sf made. that means not only do we invest in our intelligence sources to sell and manufacture, but i think that we can blend technology with manufacturing. just yesterday, i was greeted at and kicked off the annual music technology conference in san francisco. you could literally see the way that music content is being

successful. he's going to work on many projects here in san francisco, right? we've got a lot of development going on in the cityessful developments that will have those wonderful jobs, because that, at the end of it, is your prize. going to college is a sacrifice. you will be faced with distractions, no doubt about it. and we've identified those distractions with the college track program we have here so they don't become distractions for you, so you can focus on your education and focus on the goal. that's what i want to do and that will be the commitment of this mayor and this administration as long as we are here, we'll get the jobs to you and keep supporting these wonderful programs. thank you very much for being here at college track.

we'll follow the battery park city model, which is a tremendous success. battery park city. the government master planned the project. the private sector actually developed. battery park city has residential units, hotels, recollection recreational facilities, parks. they teach about battery park city in the urban planning and design schools around the country. we would follow that model for the site. we believe we can attract $2 billion in private sector development to give you a sense of the aftervitz site, it's 18 acres. the united nations is 17 acres and the world trade center site was 16 acres. so the javits center is a very, very large tract of land and has great potential for the westside of manhattan. it's also bordered by the hudson yards and moynihan station projects, which are under way. when you put javits, moynihan and hudson yards together, you're talking about a comprehensive revitalization of the west side of manhattan, which could make a major difference. while we're investing on our strength, we also have to invest in the struggling areas of our state. and

and speaking of future events, the calling card of the city will have as a major event host site going forward. this has proven to be very successful for other host cities. i can name a few like sydney, barcelona, that posted very successful games and that lasted to the benefit. in particular for the fans come of this will create new tourism back to the bay area, back to san francisco specifically and also for the region and also for the country. as part of our plan, this provides an obscenity for anyone that would like to see it for free. this is a beautiful location. in closing, because i was asked to keep this bluff, i would like to thank our colleagues that have worked so hard with us on the port staff. thank you for your time. >> that was a lot more fun if we could have this dream come what i will go over our some of the changes and the technical details and i will invite the land back up here to talk about the financial analysis we have of this deal, which we did not have a very detailed analysis at that point. as tom was talking about, this is a multi a vent. this is not just the city and port, this is the america's cup race

i hope there are not individuals out there that have different agendas, apart from the success of our citythis fantastic event we are about to give value to, and the long-term legacy that the event authority, organizing committee, the port and commission, are devoted to, to develop our water from, -- waterfront waterfront, which had the opportunity until this came along. >> [inaudible] >> with the expected agreement, a development agreement before the port, i would expect, knowing how important this is, knowing that it is part of job creation, we cannot wait to get people their jobs. that is why i lead with the unemployment rate. i am still not satisfied with 7.8. i want to get it down so low to show people, if you bring people together to make decisions, we can do an even better job. if we do not, we have the state telling us the triggers that they will pull, national policies, and if we come policies, and if we come together, the port will act

location, location, location is critical for the success of centers that have the most vulnerable success in the cityalso see that there is transit along third street. a. davidson stopped at another stop. i hope that the parking and other issues can be worked out. a number of the people with concerns from the neighborhood raised issues that i feel passionate about. from the environment to when development happens, making sure that we are falling the protections for the neighborhoods that are the most polluted. but, i know that this is a zoning issue that will create a person -- first in the nation spot that will help children, that many of the activists are committed to. it is an issue of being the right location. i know that the doctor said that there were several different locations. you will have strong air quality filters and monitors within the facility. every protection will be made as they come to the clinic. i am going to weigh this in favor to the benefits in the neighborhood and children and families who have spoken out. i know that many of the environmental justice groups are not against t

since 9/11, which had a profound impact upon you, on the city, there have been no obviously successfulttacks on new york city. do you believe that is part and parcel of what the new york nypd has done and the kinds of practices that you have initiated? >> sure. i think we are an integral part of that. new york is the top terrorist target in this country. no question about it. terrorism is theatre, new york is the biggest stage that there is. we have had 14 attempts, plots against the city since september 11th of 2001, and through a combination of good work by and with our federal partners, good work by new york city police officers, and luck we have not been attacked. they have not been successful. but that is as a result, i think of our increased vigilance and a lot of things that we have done to protect the city and i think that is pretty much the consensus of the intelligence community, one, that we are the number one target and 2, that we have done an awful lot to deter, dissuade, prevent terrorist attacks. >> rose: there is also the question of surveillance, and surveillance of gr

deliver on the promises of an event that is not only a great social and economic boom but also successful for the city's finances well. if i could have the slides. i have -- what i wanted to look from from the no. we see last time is playing out a couple of different scenarios. it wants to use the budget and -- analysis. i want to use their base case and also there will spectator profile so we can see how that sensitivity works and how the variable costs can be managed going forward. to start out with some assumptions, i wanted to prove together a number of fixed costs that we're taking as a given and sort of a conservative analysis. the first is planning and rep -- preparations which have to take it -- place to-have been here by -- we have talked about in prior meetings. to make sure we had training expenses to ramp up for the august 2012 events. if those fall in the fiscal year, that is abuzz indeed we did not seem -- coming. you approved an mou for lost rent over the course of the event and in 2010 there was an estimate for cruise's general fund contributions $0.50 million. we have retained this even

but i am interested in proposals to protect the city if we're not successful with fundraising, if it turns out that as our city costs continue to rise we're not hitting the numbers that we expected to hit. i am interested in looking at other alternatives for how we handle piers 30-32. i also have a question to the port staff. i had heard the was the possibility of pdr's is another way to think about financing, and i am wondering if there somebody here from port staff who could discuss those development rights. >> i am representing the port. transferable development rights are an approach that the city has used to promote historic preservation among privately owned buildings. there are two different areas designated and the planning code for this, and essentially what happens under the planning code provisions is that an owner of historic building and sell the air rights above that building to somebody building taller buildings and the downtown area in the c-3. it is a way of promoting good density and in-fill development, while preserving older structures, and it is a way of getting p

why would we want to help make these cities and other key cities as successful as possible? one national study estimates that the bond bill would create 2 1 21,700 jobs, most of them in the private sector. skeptical? divide that number by two, that's 10,000 more people that would be working across our state. develop your priorities quickly and pass the bonding bill within the next month. the sooner you act -- 6 [ applause ] the sooner you act, the sooner several thousands unemployed minnesotans will be renewing the work with those repairs and innovations required. pass the bonding bill now, please. i have also building a people's stadium which would provide private sector jobs for several thousand more minnesotans. i'm amazed that some people feel no urgency to put several thousand more minnesotans back to work. the legislative author senator rosen and representative lanning along with chairman ted mondale. they may be getting close to a site, a deal, and a bill. then it will be up to you in the legislature. some of you reportedly want to avoid voting on a stadium until afte

show the postseason, the ability to educate our world and our own communities thrives and success in our great city of san francisco. and that we are also an international city. so that my hope is that when these offices are filled and the real energy of this innovation and spirit that is already reflected here, when these production companies find their gems to produce, that you get international attention. because these stories probably will have international themes to them and will resonate all over the world. congratulations, i will be a background supporter. we will be working with the commission to support it as much as we can, and you may see something in the budget.

building departments throughout california, and some of our customers already use it in other cities, and it is successful. it was something that was demanded, if you remember, by the civil grand jury in a report from 2005 or 2006 and was actually purchased in the early 2008 to satisfy a civil grand jury action. it has taken this long to implement it due to different things that had to happen in the building. we have to have electrical come in. we had to have the department of building repair come in and put in electrical plugs. this takes time. when you are working through the dpw for contracts. everything after the system was actually bought, the actual equipment did not come in for two or three years, so we are going to try. it is the newest version of the system. maybe it will work, maybe it will not, but the demands of san francisco plan checking is different than most cities, it might not work here. if it does not work, we will pull it. we are not going to let the public wait longer to get permits, and we are going to be monitoring this, and we have ways to monitor how long we can take from the star
