since coit and the ict plan are relatively new, many projects have preceded the goals. the reverse of the traditional way to plan for progress. within the proposed plan, little mention is made of specific savings or efficiencies from new projects nor ways of calculating them. recent efforts may have introduced -- wow, is that a minute? >> you have 30 seconds left on that. >>> if you have 30 seconds left, specific saving or efficiencies, recent efforts have introduced timelines and budgets when few timelines and budgets have been met historically and there's no penalty for failure that is mentioned. there is no mention of current trouble projects -- skew me, president chiu mentioned earlier. is that my -- >> why don't you keep going for a minute. >>> sure. okay. i only have two minutes to go. applied to the four general goals, there is very little discretion of city values and strategies for technology development city-wide. nothing or mean for improvement and cooperation and communication among departments a major need the jury found is commented on. this would require u

i should point out that payment for all professional contracts exceeded the lbe goal, the c m d set lbe goals. with one exception t branch project had a 9 percent lde spent for the quarter. the project most of the lbe work was done early in the project and right now they are supporting the construction. they are basically on call to work with the construction contract and answer questions and solve problems so they don't use much lbe on that. overall they are at 22 percent. they have currently met their goal on that it's where you are on a project , the lbe will go up and down on that. local hire for construction projects. local hire is a new program for about a year overseen by the economic development. we had representative from that office come down and give a formal presentation from that program. we were hoping to do it at this time but we couldn't align our schedules. we will schedule something soon and have them come down and give you a formal presentation on the project. the program went into effect of on march of 2011. it requires a specific percentage of work house by san fran

i want to say one other thing about the goals that we set as a city. we hope to bring down the injury and fatality rate down and as i said walk to workday last week we should continue the aspiration. there are states like nevada and utah that have a zero fatality goal on the streets and it's a vision that makes sense for us and i know we're doing better and i want to thank everyone for the combined community efforts in reaching these goals. >> thank you president chiu. i failed to acknowledge that we are joined by supervisor mark farrell. i just want to make a few comments and i will turn it over. thank you for calling this hearing. this is a big, big problem when you sit down with the fire department which responds to all kinds of human tragedies. we know that this is among at the high end in terms of what they're responding to. we have way too many pedestrian accidents and we need to change that and we know what we need to do. this is not rocket science. we need more and better enforcement, more and better education, and we need to make physical chang

we have some major initiatives and future projects that support each of the goals as well as the full listing of the projects. and one of the things i want to point out here which we'll reference more when we get to the financial strategies discussion is the functional category break out that we did for each of the projects. in addition to the -- looking at projects whether they were new or replacement or maintenance effort, we added the new critical project development category, and that was really to focus on pre-project development and planning so that the committee in coyt had a better understanding of what was really needed for that project before we made a significant investment of city resources. so, the next few slides just provide other summaries of goals 2, 3 and 4 in terms of how each of those goals are supported with the detailed strategies and some of the featured projects of those. we can go into any of those in more detail if you have any questions. so, at this point i want to turn it over to chanda who will talk about the financial strategies portion. >> good afternoon

i want to thank the mayor for the goals that we have for the pedestrian program. i think we have a generation today of board of supervisors who are making sure that we are moving forward a pro pedestrian agenda. we are walking in the footsteps of other supervisors including max well who also knew how to walk the walk. will is i want to say is the mayor talked about a goal about reducing pedestrian fatalities, i think we should go further. there is a zero tolerance when it comes to pedestrian fatalities. some day in our life times, we will have years where no one gets killed on our streets. thank you very much for being here. >> i support that goal. and supervisor katie tang from district 4. >> good morning, everybody. as i was talking to our group that walked in this morning as we enter into the work world we tend to forget to do walking as part of our daily activities. if you are going away from a meeting, try to use the stairs instead of the elevators. we need to incorporate that into our daily life styles. i know when i used to do so much more walking and now i

so we need to change the goals or enforce the goals. if there's nothing else that's heard from what i'm saying today, my issue today is that the district supports restorative justice that we're showing our commitment to access and equity and making sure the diverse families at lake shore -- all of them -- privileged parents, not so privileged parents, feel that their voice is heard and has equal weight. equal weight. and the reason i bring this up again is that there continues to be sidestepping of traditional organization that we use. putting up non translated surveys on email that only hit the percentage of the families so i think equal voice is very important. thank you. and i support you and i want to support you all supporting us doing what we all say we're going to do. >> i have a couple more cards on isolated issues. please approach as i call your name. two minutes each. >> good evening board members and president norton. my name is heather and i'm a parent and i'm here to talk about the 2013 special day class relocation and how i

. >> host: was one of the goals of the state battles we thought, was one of the goals and end-all type focus? >> guest: that really is the hope. >> host: was that at west point? >> guest: one of the curious ironies about this is west point -- and this is part of the problem because west point because of fears influenced by this french model of military engineering education, west point teaches cadets had to be junior officers. we prepare not to be admirals immediately. we prepare them to be secular tenets. west point to the basic grounding in the most basic fundamental voting lots of military expertise that gives them a lot of engineering, probably more they really need. so the desire for a bit decisive novel comes from more of a cultural affinity for napoleon. mcclellan is likened to napoleon early in his career. he had 10 strikes the napoleonic pose and his people reading popular history books because there's wars were of course the irony is the point, but there are these battles where he has these decisive victories, with these that segment of the napoleonic war ends. that is in man

however, secretary of state john kerry says the goal of the united states as well as china is to make a joint effort to denuclearize north korea. this goal as you know comes from the 2005 party statement. as you know, china plays a big role in all of this because they're kind of like the big brother to north korea, if you will. so what action do you anticipate china taking to-- will they be tough enough and can the u.s. trust them to do it? >> well, i think we're at a fork in the road here about north korea and i must say, based on what secretary kerry has said so far in his trip to south korea and china, i'm very worried that what he has in mind is simply restarting the six-party talks, talks that have failed for over ten years now, to get north korea to give up its nuclear weapons program. that's never going to happen. they're not going to do it voluntarily. the north koreans have pledged four times in the last 20 years to give up their nuclear weapons effort and four times they violated that pledge, they're just not going to be negotiated out of it. the real issue, i think, the lon

it's important but not the goal. it's the mean to the end and the end is full safe effective successful engagement in participatory media and culture and society. this is a participatory medium that we're talking about in a network world. we're are in this environment and network participatory environment and our students need the tools. they need social emotional learning is a key tool and technical and literacy and media is behavioral so this has just been a fantastic day. thanks to all for coming and thank you everybody. i just want to share one piece of data which i don't understand completely. maybe our friend from facebook can explain, his twitter colleagues what they do. a hash tag was created and "stop bullying sf barb and hash tag and generated 3 million personal impressions and 1.3 million followers within the last 24 hours. [applause] isn't that incredible? we talked about some of the dangers in social media today and i guess that's part of the beauty of social media and the video is part of that as well,

that's what the goal of the grant is. it doesn't mean we'll just thrive for 320. we are going to try to get all 400 placed. you will find a lot of times what happens is depending on how the program flows and the program participants can talk about this. folks will get what they need from you and go off. they don't need as much as they thought, go off and get their own jobs, you might lose some contact with people. it doesn't mean we'll stop at that number. that's what the grant is telling me to do. those other 80 will get services from us. we are not stopping services. >> thank you. that answers my question. >> the demographics of who we are serving to date. >> could you go over the last item. the incumbent workers from at&t and ibm? >> sure. the grant calls for the two demographics that i was looking for. the workers that were 40 and over and then separate from that they were really interested in looking at how you do skills upgrade because you will find a lot of folks in the industry, this industry as you know supervisor kim, it moves at -- it just pops. this wa

4 of the plans, goal 3 is the environment and economy but goal 4 is about what we need to be doing to strengthen the organization and you heard about this when i was introducing salida and her award. we are working in the past few months to speed up our hiring process. you approved in the last budget a number of additional positions that we made the case we really needed particularly within munis maintenance and the strength and reliability of the system but even with the funds and position in places it's hard to get people hired expeditiously. we used something called position base testing adopted by the civil service commission about seven years ago that establishes procedures in hiring practice while staying through troou to the merit system of the system. but, for some reason when the civil service commission adopted this mechanism, they didn't make it available to the mta and we have our own hr authority but still subject to the city's civil service rules. what we found basically is that using this position base testing process, it

the goal here is for the community to be heard. this is not a question and answer time, but the goal is for the community to be heard. when we get to public comment, and you make your statements. remember we want you to be as concise as possible, because the department heads and the mayor are here to hear you. without further ado, i want to introduce mayor lee and he will open us up. thank you. good evening everybody. as stated eloquent ly, this is time for all of you in the community particularly focused residents of 10 and 11, to tell us in government what you feel passionate about. i want to thank supervisor avalos and supervisor cohen that it will be here in a minute. your budget chair is supervisor farrell, i want to thank him as he will have a lot of meetings. and i want to thank the different departments represented here. you can see them, we will have a chance to identify them in a minute. again we will give priority of time to the residents, to the nonprofits, to people who work here in the community in district 10/11, to

. >> one thing we noted, we have the 22% lbe subconsulting goal. but given the small size of these contracts, this is really an opportunity i think for some smaller businesses to get a foot hold in performing this kind of work. i know that 22% is our goal. but i would like to say it would be nice if we could really encourage whoever responds as well as who wins the contract to really consider expanding opportunities. to bring in businesses so they can build up their resumes, so to speak, for this kind of work. but these are the sized contracts that enable that to happen. >> yes, commissioner. >> i was going to ask, i know that the respondents will receive incentive credit for names lbe's. but what we are doing to know that they are actually hiring b -- lbe's and meeting the goal? >> we monitor them a quarterly basis, every invoice, and monitor on a quarterly basis in terms of how that comes in. and as part of the cso process, we identify the subs and who are lbe's. when i sign off on a cso, i am part of the signing process. i am looking at how much

the goal tonight is clear. five names and strategies that can help you property from next week's news. let's get to "money" right now. could earnings kick it off next week? mike ko. what do you think? >> i don't think so. >> we're all bears. week after week after week you're bears. week after week the s&p 500 climbs to record highs. i want to point that out. >> let's take a look at a couple of things. one of them is that we are starting to see valuations get a little bit stretched. there's a lot of names that are trading at multiples that are well above what they do in general. i think that's a little bit troubling. some of the names that haven't recovered are places you haven't looked. take a look at microsoft. finally start to climb out of the dog house. ups has been beaten up. i look at that and say that could be the tip of the iceberg. at some point the data has to back up all the optimism and i don't think it's going to. >> in terms of the big move we saw in gold, the lowest levels since july 2011. does th

are the goals stated, supported by policies and programs to support the goal? what is the situation? this needs to be done by an independent body. i was at a panel not long ago and former president of the army war college said i will head up the study and you have a vested interest in the results. we need an independent study to see where we are and where we need to go and i hope all of you will help me raise awareness to this. i feel no qualms in encouraging you to buy the book. i don't usually talk my own books but i do not only because of the subject of the matter but because i'm donating my royalties to the wounded warrior project. i don't get any money from it so i feel i can say pleas by the book. with that i would like to open it up to questions.

>> the goal wasn't to strangle the economy. >> stephen: that was just a bonus. >> the economy is doing a little bit better now than it was back then and the goal was to make sure that the rules were sensible, that they struck the right balance and you protect people against unsafe food or dirty air or dirty water or national security risks while promoting economic growth. >> stephen: you wash out your mouth, sir. don't you dare use reagan's make why your argument. you want to make things simmer. what is the simplest possible government? an army that builds roads. why do we need anything else? >> that is important, roads and an army but it's pretty important to have air that is clean and water that is safe to drink. >> stephen: why don't we let the free market decide whether mercury is bad for me. >> it doesn't entirely work. it could hurt kids neurologic ally and why businesses are trying to reduce pollution levels they haven't succeeded. >> stephen: what is your idea of simplifying things. it znlt seem like it's simpler than it used to be. >> under president obama the paperwork burden
