the current program has a number of goals. specifically the implementation of numerical goals identified for the project, for small businesses and disadvantaged businesses. also to engage in a level about reached that will provide comfort in confidence to this community. that there were opportunities for them and that they would be able to participate during this implementation. to participate in the process of matching local and disadvantaged small businesses within the various contracts. the work program consists of a number of tasks identified here. basically, it is the promotion of and participation of small businesses through a series of activities. more or less a conventional outreach activities consisting of workshops and conferences. very aggressive monitoring and data collection programs. perhaps one of the most useful functions is the consultants have been actively engaged and analyzed the prime contracts. identifying specific small and disadvantaged businesses that have the capability of performing that work with pri

>> i think that we are meeting the goal. for contract one -- supervisor mar: for the small -- >> these of the disadvantaged businesses. supervisor mar: if you could repeat the goals for the disadvantaged businesses. >> in most cases it has to do with the nature of the work and the availability of disadvantaged businesses to do the work. contract one, as i mentioned, is an environmental contract. it involves a lot of plant collection and nursery activities. it just turns out there are not that many firms doing that business in san francisco, disadvantaged businesses, that can do that work. there are a number of small businesses that can do the work and we are pleased that we were able to achieve those numbers. we are continuing to push hard on the disadvantaged business side. but is a challenge. looking at contract four, under- utilized business goals for this contract, we are generally on track and expect to meet goals by the time it is completed. phase two is being done as a public-private partnership. it is a different cont

the basic goal is the tool that we would use. moving forward we will work with communities in the same transparent way to get feedback on the proposal as we move towards implementation. the major elements of the travel time reduction proposal includes a stop optimization. that may be consolidating stops or moving stops to a more optional location, for example although we do have near sides at stoplights to better take advantage of signal priority. boarding a islands so that the buses do not have to pull in and out of traffic. new traffic signals on the rail lines. we have a lot of stop signs and are slowing down heavy trains between stops. as well as traffic restrictions and parking changes. the more complex projects we are also considering, dedicated lines are the upper bound of what we would like to see in terms of transit priority. supervisor avalos: what do you see in those proposals? >> we are currently developing the package, but currently where we have the right of way. we would not consider it on a street that is like san

we're also implementing in the minority goals and the female goal for each trade. there are requirements which may require an apprentice. there are 51 employees based on the contract. and on the design packages, we are projecting 30 trainees. and this shows a breakdown of the contract which is still in progress. our participation rate -- it well exceeds what is needed for federal regulations. this despite the short in terms of hours. in terms of local residents, we are nearing the 20% benchmarks and should exceed that level but contract completion. the second relocation contract, this is getting underway. we are, again, exceeding the federal minority goal. the participation in 17 plus%. we do hope to see improvement as some of you know, on march 25, a new ordinance came into effect. it mandates that 20% -- the amount increases annually in increments. it requires the segregation of local funds to ensure a maximum amount. sfmta leadership, director ford and another, have been involved. while we wait for direction, we continue to express our commitment to doing everyth

we are really proud to say that we are on track to meeting the goals for the agency. we are 21% below our goals right now. mgm has already been recognized as a national leader. we're really working on those legacy systems. this sort of a lead certification standard where they give you gold, silver, or platinum entry-level. we qualify for gold certification. we are one of only a few handfuls of agencies in the country. we will continue to strive for platinum. really quickly, the department will task, emissions were about 67,000 metric tons. i will give you some quick context. that is the equivalent of a carbon hot dark side emission. it takes that much to travel. while it sounds like it is a lot, we are about 18% of the trips in the city. and we are roughly 1/3 of the mutual footprints. we have been working very closely with our biology's old program. we finally see the effects of those changes. at the end of the day, the mta's facilities represent -- even if we went carbon neutral, there is still not enough to end the problem. one-third is automobiles. one-third of it

goals. the presentation you will see today is the transportation section of that plan. two things i wanted to cover really quickly. at 34% of our internal government operations, and gm is the largest single a matter of greenhouse gas emissions at the department level. that is because of all the diesel that is consumed in the boxes that move san francisco resident commuters and visitors around. is with this land that we understand that if we are looking to seek to get people out of their cars, we reduce emissions from individual autos and we will have to most likely expand the fuel usage internally. we expect that the carbon footprint may grow, but i'm excited to say that we may have some key actions to help produce a of the community wide carbon footprint and our internal carbon footprint. we will be going over them in detail later. the other thing that i want to say is that meeting our climate goals is going to be very difficult. lives of the most progressive greenhouse gas reduction goals of a

each one describes one of the goals. in each section, you will see a slide with the objective for the gold. the five inner circles are reserved for the results of the evaluation, and each score from 1 to 5 are leading performance indicators. so, these are the key performance indicators that you will see in each of these areas. for the quantitative indicators, we will average them how over time. so, when we reach the dark green, we will have reached perfection. so, you probably will not see that in july. so what are our next steps? for fiscal here 2010-2011 performance, we will create our actions, revise kpi's to stay within national and international standards. we will collaborate with the controller on semiannual reporting. we will also look at biennial refuse -- reviews. i urge you to look at this. it is short and provides more background on the report. i also want to express my appreciation to general manager harrington for his hard work and leadership. we are incorporating the institutional is a nation of sustainabili

going to score the goal everybody was like you and i look at the fans you know everybody went down there like opes but then we answer right back in there and i think we answer right back where you knew whether they're here they came for about the game stay tight until the twenty fourth minute when your money course and the aftershock sure that between the legs of what was goaltender to one their goal gave out for and the confidence to continue scoring and not a quick three on three attack and sergei my second with a wrist shot made it three one and in the last minutes of the second period of plant it one more killed the field of pass two i let people off one time get under the post and outwards dominance continued in the last frame of the game back and. despite alex on the gallium of giving here a solid hope of a comeback the wising on a power play for two but it was at once night as they took full advantage of their possession and put on the brush well it was a real disaster for a committee there of dribble possibly franzman and maybe another impressive pass for better off to the dismay

the goals of the mayor's directive. the outgoing mayor in december of 2010 presented the mayor's director. it set clear goals in terms of the reduction of pedestrian injuries and fatalities. this ball is currently rolling. there are some great initiatives going on. we would love to see this directive carried out to full fruition. we are encouraged by the fact that there is a motion on it now. we want to make sure that resources are continue to be provided. we want resources that will give us to the point where we can reach the goal. supervisor avalos: is there a reference to the mayor's directive in the appendix? >> it is not in the appendix. the report was being developed at the same time that the directive came out. when we got to the point where we adopted it, it was right before the directive had come out. now that we've been working with them, we wanted to make sure that was part of our recommendations. it is very parallel to what we're doing. supervisor avalos: that would be great to fol

the goals were to expand the library, providing adequate shelving for books and materials, separate spaces for children and adults, public computers and seating, a room for community use, and ergonomics staff workspaces. to ensure the key library service elements are on one floor so the building is cost- effective to operate. to ensure that both the library and parks are safe and accessible, meeting seismic safety and ada requirements, and to provide a safe and welcoming playground and building, with visibility throughout both facilities. to improve the joe dimaggio north beach playground and increase open space and green space while retaining all currently-existing amenities, including bocce ball courts, tennis courts, a children's play area, and a swimming pool. and to enhance connectivity between the library and park and create an integrated community. finally, to minimize disruption of services to the community, library, and preparation. we appreciate that merely -- may or lee and president chiu introduced this legislation. this is necessary to increase the size and area of the library

a great strike from the brazilian in the first goal of the season. it's important victory for the red white and for the lady carpenter still picking the team despite resigning as manager of a top sports start of the season. i do which is a bit of it was a game between two even teams but thankfully we managed to get that all important goal i'm really happy with my team for doing what i told them to do and it was a really important victory for us. for the additional water to put all of humanity to get win today but we've still got to play them in the cup it's authority it can always go either way but we managed to soak up some early pressure very good site but we played really well and. we deserve to win today we need to keep on working for it and playing well and the results should keep on coming with. me well terry got a much needed win against. the window see we got the only goal of the game with the minutes to go and the second win of the season for all its side helps push the team from grozny into mid table now inside have a chance to extend their

you know, first, of course, are the goals not met, the goals part of the bargain we just discussed. there's a cost to not meeting your main street goals. one of the costs has been in the impact on government crbility, and the bottom line is people don't trust their government, and part of the reason why they don't trust the government today is because of the bailout, because the failure to reach goals, and because the mismanagement of the program. it's the too big to fail problem. as i noted before, when the secretary's told the markets we're not letting the banks fail, that was instrumental in developing t.a.r.p., but it exacerbated the problem of too big to fail. it was as explicit as could be. the reason it helped avoiding the economic collapse was because the promise of not letting the institutions fail. that has the unintended consequences of the problems getting bigger and bigger and backs up they are able to borrow money more cheaply, able to access the credit markets, and right now, they are more systemically than before. there's fewer than them and bigger than ever. that's a

officer of the united states him if you would start by giving us the parameters of your job with the goals are in this position, who you report to etc.? >> guest: i serve as an assistant to the president and what that means is that report directly to him in my capacity as chief technology officer. i also hold a senate confirmed position which is the associate director for technology in the white house office of science and technology policy where i work with dr. john holdren, the president adviser. the job of the assistant to the president and cto was created by our president because he felt too often our policy discussions whether he and health care, energy and education, fail to capture the full potential of technology data and elevation and so he challenged me to complement the traditional technology portfolios that would have been and ellis tp but to think about how those capabilities could leverage these other priorities of his and with particular emphasis on the spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation as a means to achieve these larger policy objectives. so that is the bulk of it.
