the city passed the local hire ordinance. i know that larry has had a lot of the advice to the city about how that works. one thing we do have an agreement on is that it is not so much about the ordinance that we pass, is what we do to promote the hiring of people. this center is one of the most important things we have ever done to exhibit how we hire and train people. this center has the most modern training facilities. it has all the wonderful modern things you do. it even has how to rig up new things and put in new boiler systems. it will train new generations of people who work in our bay terminal, on the america's cup, all the different improvements we will do. i will know that this training center will be here to train generations of people to be the best plumbers, pipefitters, and to participate in the quality of life you are offering right here when they get trained. larry, we are beyond words today. what we see here is a testament. it is not just an ordinance that we believe in. it is the belief that people can train

eric brooks speaking on behalf of the local green party. it is very important to note the key issue with this event in thiand the fact it is in san francisco. this is about pride in the event and civic pride on behalf of san francisco that we are hosting the event. since the steel came through, we have seen the environmental impact reports that we are getting -- asking to bend a lot on some of the environmental issues. where as we should be speller on those. we are here to speak up and this hearing on behalf of the strongest possible local hire and high wages we can get from this project, not just a man among letter of the wall. getting back to the pride issue, if mr. ellison and the other participants in supporters want this city to be proud of this event, they need to be stellar and exceed in environmental standards to the greatest degree possible. that goes to the greatest local hiring and union hiring. 20 percent is just 20%. and we need the event sponsors to look at san francisco and it's about using and follow those values so that peop

the local action plan purpose was established by the jjc partners. it is to establish the funding strategies and recommendation for community violence prevention and intervention efforts targeting young adults between the ages of 10 and 25. all this funding is supposed to steer towards that direction. we want to make sure that it is clear, that it is dictated in a concise way so that it is clear what the funding is for. then we can better shape some of the outcomes we would like to see. the framework we used for our local action plan this time around, because we do produce had a local action plan every year. this reiteration of it, we used a theory of change for our bond prevention and intervention efforts. we are working with the mission analytics group, an independent evaluation firm, to create an overall framework that connects all of our violence prevention and intervention in a portfolio. we are also looking at including an hour from mark a circle of care model which have traditionally put been part of the local action plan. that looks at provid

we are in member of the local clean energy alliance. we very much did support this item moving forward. we appreciate lafco moving this process forward. this item is a portion of the scope of work. rather than in the and all or nothing from , it is more a sequencing matter. this portion of $100,000 would be funding falls on the earlier portion of the scope of work that we've been looking for the sfpuc to fund. it is not all or nothing. it is just that a lot of the $100,000 portion of work would not be engaged and would not happen if the earlier portion of the analysis work that needs to be done -- that would need to happen first before this 100,000 zero should be appropriate to be engaged and spent out. we have been part of this negotiation. we do have a lot of eyes on this. there are a lot of people engaged right now that very much want this to succeed and are looking for this to be productive work. it is critical work for the program to be successful. there will be a lot of eyes on the task sheet and deliverables. it is written into ha

any local hiring is good. the america's cup, which i have been falling for years now is a significant event. it is the world series super bowl of sailing. it is probably much bigger because it is worldwide. the last america's cup was pretty significant. they run from a single hole boat to multi halls. it is a really different design that has been previously used. it will put the focus of san francisco worldwide, but they will not see the jobs created, and that is what we need to focus on. not only the construction jobs, but the post-construction jobs is just as important, because it involves the other members of the household better in san francisco, not just the laborer male, but the sisters, mothers, brothers. we need to key in on that. the current local hiring that you had offered is probably the most innovative one so far. so let's get it applied. thank you. supervisor avalos: next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors. i will be briefed. i am confident in you as supervisors and support staff to implem

that is one of the first major construction projects that included the 20% local requirements. we are in the pre-construction phase right now. in addition to the construction contract, i want to mention the design is being done by san francisco-based firms. and they also have a contract for all of that a and these services. they are working with sap on that as well they have doubled participation on that contract. it is up 45%, one of the highest on the construction side we have roughly $60 million. if we were to use a percentage of what we expect to go towards materials and supplies and labor, we would estimate in this contract 60% of those $60 million would go towards labor. that is 24 million in labor that we expect to spend on this project. we are committed to the 20% goal of the minimum, and we expect to meet and exceed the goals supervisor avalos: to that goal is by trade. what you see as the main trades that you see performing the work? -- that goal is by trade. >> most of the major trade you would see on a construction project. the only place where we would be like is co

the same need. and if it's local hiring, i mean, then, it's double, i think the standard since this is not a local company. it's not fran-based. so i would expect -- san francisco-based. so i would expect there would have to be double the expectations that gives us something that we hope that they deliver. since we're only talking to one company in this case, an a company that we're familiar with. then we should see a brokering of what should come out in the final reporting. >> ok. we have a motion to continue. i don't know if it's been seconded. let me say that now that we have a full compliment of the commission. i was open to the idea of continuing but again i believe that it's important for us to move this forward. i appreciate the comments from

local. after him, we have the managing director for local news at yahoo.com, guiding the company's local coverage nationwide. last but not least is the senator who represents san francisco and san mateo counties, and he is the recipient of spj's freedom of information award in 2010. that is our panel. back to you, rose. >> before we start, i want to get a sense of who we have in the audience. how many of you currently work in the media? lots. how many of you used to work in the media? how many of you want to work in the media? ok, good. that will give us a sense of who we are talking with. great. every friday, we have a media roundtable and invite international, alternative, and mainstream journalists to talk about coverage of the week's news. we believe it is important to highlight good journalism because so much of it gets passed over. we think it is also important to start off on a positive no. with that, i want to start off on a positive note tonight. i worked with very. we were on staff before the web was even a mainstream word. i just want to ask you, since you were there in the beginning,

as i mentioned, the rfp was released august 30. this local action plan dictated the way that rfp was articulate, the way it was presented. we had a proposal conference on september 8 that was attended by many agencies, a total of 62 agencies that attended the bidders conference. proposals will be due on monday october 3. we hope to then go through a thorough process where recruiters can review and then we will be looking at trying to have reviewers that our experts in the field of violence prevention locally and outside of counties. finally, we hope to announce the awards in december, negotiate around the same time period, any type of contracts to finalize by december and begin to grant in january, and then the term of funding january 30, 2013. i know that was a lot of information. and i do apologize, i went through it fast. i wanted to get to the major content. and i also wanted to hear any question that you might have. i know we put an e-mail out to see if your interested in asking questions beforehand. it appears that most of you were fami

>> the term sheet is tied to the local buildup. commissioner moran: the goal is twe are moving forward on the tracks and i do not see the term sheet and the idea of a build out and separated. thanks to general manager harrington, we're having discussions about how this is a twin track approach. i cannot separate the two in my mind. >> thank you. >> i am paul lucas in district 10. there is a thing called doublespeak. i know that it is used a lot in meetings. this is what it seems to say. think of it as a way that language is the basis of all human communication. it may not be far-fetched to say that language forms the basis of all human interaction. we use language to express our thoughts and feelings on issues. we act as a result of processing information which we can do by using language. the language we here and use every day influences us and helps us to ship opinions to a greater degree than you realize. if the language we hear and read is corrupt and misleading, it will corrupt and mislead our interactions. doublespeak destroys

general manager for his ongoing support for local hiring, it was critical for the city moving forward and adopting an outcome space and approached to local hiring. clearly, it is just starting to go into play. the first contracts are coming in. it is exciting what we are seeing with this new law, and there is a new generation of folks getting into these opportunities. we have partnerships with some of the union's, but that as part of the process. i am glad that stuff is resolved. a lot of this is about a paper tiger, but i do want to point out, there are working with a representative to work that stuff out. and the third paragraph that is cited, it doesn't technically -- the sentence reads, they confirmed the list of projects were expressly exempted from the board of supervisors ordinance. if you look at the end of the sentence, i am looking at line 18-19. they said is exempted where the terms of the existing poa's and policy are in conflict. in what is great about not just the investment in the region that was kind of the root of this concern, but by coming togeth

i'm always loved visiting the local markets the some of the liveliest places you can find in the city and full of these great sights smells and all these different colors but of course it does help if you have someone who can give you a profit soul. and i had a lunch date with an explicit. rules. must make sense well i'm looking forwards to all the trip around the market i have a few can steal things from me trauma oh yeah i can. see this list. was like come. to promotion let's you can you know. what's also not. came from china to study medicine in class and over the last six years she's flown live love with the place. and it was becoming fluids in the language she's also got into the local food some of the delicacies here listen to me an acquired taste i'm sure those who have never seen it. what can. the cool watermelon. show. which will pick the right ok let's just say i'm doing yeah i. saw. them do feel that there are some things that should be left as nature intended by. this case but it's a definite it's still definitely an acquired taste. i should be just certainly got used to c

with these guiding principles in mind, we went to the scientists to develop the local qualities. the draft ordinance has a few circumstances. where the buildings are located near the wide-open spaces. the second time -- second kind of control, there is a certain design elements that prevents special hazards in and of itself. there are some historic structures in small-scale residential homes. the first control for the location-related home -- this is new areas -- near areas that are dominated either by vegetation or open water. these are the refugees. there is a clear flight path facing this refuge. this would be required for new construction, placing the ability. it is only required for the area where this is most likely to occur. this is called the byrd collision. and further, the ordinance does not require 100%. the reduction approach would account for 10% of the area to remained untraded. -- and treated -- untreated. further, the commission requests that the generators that appear solid be used in this area. the second kind of requirements is for, regardless of the location --

fish dominates the local cuisine and the fishery is the main source of income for local residents in early june the valuable red salmon is the first to life spawning . so this caviar isn't right it's small and very friends later when the fish ends in the fresh waters and begin to spawn this system gets transformed the fish stop eating lose their fat and become red. caviar gets bigger and ripens. out of everything the red some and is the favorite food of first seals saying they pass a new observed this many time. they are real hunters this animal is very pretty it's impossible to tear your eyes away from the beach the seals come here for summer the beaches are full of them. it's a strong beautiful me still. master of the sea. victor nichkhun and getting ready for the most dangerous part of his job along with his son so again he's heading to the very center of the breeding ground in a special plywood box to check on the health of the first seals but right now he's worried about what one céline is going to do next the lion pricks up his ears when he sees something strange appearing each.

so we changed the source of funds to a local funding source. again, to reiterate, that money will be paid back when the project is complete by the equity investors. supervisor mar: ok. thank you so much for being here and thank you drirktser lee, for being here as well. >> thank you. supervisor mar: i was just going to ask if miss gillman or miss adams have any responses to the testimony by folks, and i know one good recommendation came from mr. bardle from the golden gate valley neighbors that there be a community advisory commit dwroy really oversee and monitor this front so the residents have a strong say on how this is implemented and developed but also just generally how if you worked with the neighbors to address their concerns. >> sure. so over the course of the last 18 months have i been working on this project, we attended multiple community meetings, including one on one almost monthly meetings we heads of both the marina community association and cal hollow community association. and we even as of last week, when at the 11th hour, the

that is one of the first major construction projects that included the 20% local requirements. we are in the pre-construction phase right now. in addition to the construction contract, i want to mention the design is being done by san francisco-based firms. and they also have a contract for all of that a and these services. they are working with sap on that as well they have doubled participation on that contract. it is up 45%, one of the highest on the construction side we have roughly $60 million. if we were to use a percentage of what we expect to go towards materials and supplies and labor, we would estimate in this contract 60% of those

we represent the green party and the local grassroots organization. i would like to clarify what the advocates are asking for. what we're asking for is not a change of any of the current terms of the contract. that is not what this is about. the scope of work document that you have looked at which is about 19 pages, that is a product of ourselves, the advocates for local power, and the staff of the puc working together to come up with the tasks under the current contract that would be played out under this contract extension. this does not change any terms at all, all it does it specify that the puc staff is planning for this contract to do under the current contract. this is just a description of the work tasks. maybe there are some things with the legal thing, if that is a problem, we would just call this a set of tasks words. at any rate, to get to the substance of what was brought up in the previous item, so what this two page is from advocates asking you to attach that scope of work to your resolution, not as an amendment but just as indicating th
