the purpose of this legislation is to set basic standards for professional dog walkers who use city parks and property. i work closely with a group of shareholders to drag legislation, including several dog walker organizations, the spca, the neighborhood parks council and several city departments. since introduction i have received a very significant amount of useful feedback primarily from the dog walker community, but from others as well. i thank those who took the time to provide that thoughtful feedback both at the small business commissions, which is recommending the legislation with changes, as well as many e-mails. among other things, this legislation requires training through a formal program and apprenticeship. itemizing subject areas to be covered but not endorsing any particular kind of training or philosophy. there is a diversity of styles of dog walking, and this legislation does not choose one over any other. the legislation requires that dogs be safely transported and that dog walkers have access to first aid materials. it requires dog walkers to carry commercial liability

use the bicycle. still a great share. and we have two cities that are top of our bike use. the city of gronig and the city of shola. over 50 october of of all trips daily made by bike. and for regional use of the bicycle. got some figures compared to a car. then you can see that schoolchildren use the bicycle very frequently for education. and still businessmen use the car a lot. and social recreational reasons. a reason for using the bike and shopping. we like to go shopping on our bikes. come to that later. and when it comes to gender. who's using the bicycle. i'm told that the netherlands is very typical on this. we have more women on bikes then -- than men. and the most intense users are girls from the age of 12 to 18 and that's easy to explain because i once was a girl of that age and to me, mabika was that age and to me, mabika was my ticket to freedom.

citi, really not the people up here. it is the member companies that have adopted us. s.f. citi -- the power of s.f. citi is in our membership. from 7:00 this morning, the following companies have also joined who are not on a placard. yelp, rippleseed, advent, yammer, and we have added a new organization to s.f. citi, the black founders, who are here. every time we have a new member company, it will go on our website. please watch the list grow. our member companies today represent 90% of the tech jobs in san francisco today. need this to say, we represent the tech community. let's talk about the structure of s.f. citi. i am going to be the chairman of the governing board of s.f. citi. the governing board members initially will be representatives from salesforce.com, zynga, and jawbone. there will also be an executive board for other companies to contribute donations to s.f. citi for the day to day operations. everyone in the tech community could not be more excited than our vice chairman of s.f. citi, none of them heather hardy, a folk hero.

us. s.f. citi is the right thing. when i announced one year ago that i was very much in support of local higher, we did something similar here. we created a mechanism for stakeholders. we called it citybuild. we got the unions together, contractors, and we focused on construction. how could we hire and train a workforce so they could build the best and most beautiful and most green infrastructure for the city? here, another industry is starting. it is creating jobs. on the eve of that decision to create a tax exemption for the middle market, there were some people who suggested, are those jobs for us? we said, with all confidence, absolutely. i know the ymca, the boys and girls clubs, other agencies in the community that have been in the trenches. they were struggling with this concept called the digital divide. we had to address that for our communities, for places where people might feel they would be displaced. how can they be a part of it? and we wanted to be a city for the 100%, for everyone to participate. the t

local police and federal officials are increasingly using drones under the auspices of keeping citizens city police departments are using them in the united states or not i think almost two hundred sixty six applications that have been approved for police departments to use drones as aerial surveillance devices drones can be armed with a wide range of surveillance technology including high powered zoom lenses and infrared ultraviolet images. as the u.s. government flies prying eyes through the sky lawmakers have neglected to create any privacy protections for american citizens all of this is conscious. they're putting in place. controlling and may be unemployed. and i think in their state local police. not just. the big federalized the agencies keep using more and more of these to justify their existence so they can say we need this to crack down on drugs we need this because there are a lot of robberies in this neighborhood we need this the united states is not only now a military industrial complex it's a homeland security complex they've merged into one in two thousand and six arrow via.

even better and to excite not only us who work here at citybut our traffic engineers, our bicycle coalition, our educators and all of the bay area guests. we have guests from even san rafael council here as well to share in this experience. as ed mentioned, i am a very big enthusiast but i want to be more than just a cheerleader for this. leah knows this as well. i know that there will be times where we have to challenge ourselveses to go a little further because there are great secrets that we don't know today that will be unleashed. and one of them is going to be our own economy. that there are some great secrets to unleash when we have alternatives to how we use our roads and how we can open them up to even more diverse use, safe uses of our roads. and certainly our bicycle enthusiasts have a great contribution to that as i saw on grand beach and chinatown. when you close from tower to bush street and allow the people to get out there, you can see some fantastic results and we're going to patiently wait for the statistics to show us how muc

city. what does the resolution do? this those five important things that allows us to make sure we're ready for the resolution that occurs by law. the first thing it does is that the firms of the city will take on being the successor agency and exercises the city's right to assume the affordable housing aspect and obligation and designates the mayor's office of housing as the entity where the housing will be completed. it also provides for the continuance of our three major projects which are missions bay, candlestick, and transbay, each of which is governed by a binding contract. this does this by designating the director of the administrative services as the entity to manage those projects going forward and provides the oversight board with the responsibilities that were previously held by the agency's commission with respect to those obligations. it rescinds redevelopment powers because they cannot rely on this for the development plan and finally recognizes the authority of the comptroller and the treasurer to receive added minister funds for the agency. as i think both of the supervisors' book initially alluded to,

also to help us with city government. we have a new generation of leaders at the border supervisors, a generation that really gets it. 10 days after jane kim was elected to the border supervisors, i called her as she was heading off on vacation. we talked about the fact that there was a company called twitter that we needed to figure out how to keep in the city. weeks later, we were standing together to figure out how to do that. a couple months after that, mark farrell and i were talking about a tech crunch article that talked about the ludicrous stupidity of a city that enjoyed taxing the stock options of technology start-ups. that has changed. christine olague has worked with low-income communities for years, and i know she is very committed to figuring out how we make sure that latino immigrant who maybe eight years old who lives in her district may someday work at a company like yours. we are committed to being partners with all of you, with our mayer, chief innovation officer, and we have a lot of work to do. we hav

strong head winds are forcing many flights from europe to eastern us cities to make unscheduled stops in places like ireland, canada and made. why? to refuel. the problem is, some airlines, united, muslim, or using smaller aircraft that can not carry as much fuel as traditional wide bodies and leaves less room for error when the winds increase. since december first 57 plate about to end prematurely. the stops have caused delays for thousands of passengers. >> spend enough time in golden gate park and you will survive that people have different ideas about how that land should be used. one age-old dispute, mountain bikes. the issue has appeared to surface again and while we are not talking about and no, it's much bigger than able. >>> there are plenty of ways to get around golden gate park but if you make your way along one of the most popular trails of the city you find yourself running into this. >> you can see that we have some large logs which are impeded to yield passage of the rehab large amount of topsoil. steve mac running the scout but is the challenge, and on two wheels, impo

now people do not necessarily used city car share. if they are having an emergency and need to get through, there has to be access if they close the gates and locked the gate. >> i want to throw out one other idea i had, which is if this those moves forward, and it is decided new offices across the board, -- if it is decided this is across the board, one way the decision can make it fair is by looking at reducing the 25% tax to 20% or 22% in lieu of demanding operators provide staffing, which is helping to assist the police department in reducing the overall taxation on neighborhoods, so in that sense the operator should be given some kind of our break on this sales tax parking lots have to abide by. >> i like that idea. i do not want to use economic impact. we used the word, and it can bog things gondown. it is almost what we are talking about, but i like the idea of getting an opportunity to have a tax break on a program, and it could be reported as a cost of this business, and you get a tax credit, which is not the same thing. i do
