Cooperation. Two years ago, i asked that we move beyond the traditional opposition politics, position inflexibly taken. We are not voted into office to take decisions. We are voted into office to get things done. While getting things done may have been reminded to us and campaign slogans, i want to tell you how proud i am of this board of supervisors has been getting things done in recent years, whether budget reform when we first came to office, the class of 2008, a supervisor avalos pointed out, we had half 1 billion dollars deficit; that is a quarter of the size today. What the pension reform, americas cup, construction cranes along the city, we passed when our Founding Fathers set up our democratic system of government they envision that the legislative branch would not be neat and tidy. It is messy. We balance the communitys interest as we meet the challenges today. We still have a lot of work to do. This morning i was almost late to supervisor breeds swearingin. My bike lights got stolen, then the muny bus was late, and i had trouble catching a cab. Together we have much to do. I have literally dozens of friends who have moved from the city after they found a lifelong partner, had a baby, and decided they could not afford to live in the city. Together we have to do better at reversing families like and making sure that everyone who wants to gets to live in San Francisco. We still have too many young people who are not graduating from high school; too many young people who did not have jobs; too many young people who are being killed on our streets. Together we can do better. We call ourselves the Innovation Capital of the world but there are so many ways that technology can improve our city services. Imagine if we have a phone app that help people avoid having their cars towed, that reserve big tables at Golden Gate Park or can tell us when you drive over a pothole where street crew should patch it up. Together we can do better. With cannot solve Global Warming by ourselves seven cisco but we can show what we can do for the environment; i am proud of the fact that we are on the cutting edge but together we should do better. We have a hardworking Ethics Commission and san franciscans have repeatedly worked for ethics reform; we need to make sure that the laws are enforced and the public is no question our transparency. Now, in any legislature is easy to think of ourselves as rivals, as part of one faction or another. Today was different about this board of supervisors is that there are more of us who do not think that the rigid labels of yesterday help. No one outside the city sees the differences between us, and there are endless opportunities for each of us to lead. A few months ago our beloved San Francisco giants won the world series again. applause and they did it because every Single Member of the team showed up every day, played to the strengths, Work Together as a team, and took turns making the big plays. Whether it supervisor mar, or supervisor farrell addressing looming costs, supervisor breed getting the jobs that young adults need, supervisor kim making sure all kids graduate, supervisor yee making sure that Small Businesses succeed, supervisor campos fighting for wage breaks; supervisor avalos delivering a local hiring. By the end of the season if we are going to help each other succeed we are all going to win. Now the time when the public has been worried about fiscal cliffs in washington and the dysfunctionality in sacramento, the city of st. Francis has seen the finest moments when we come together, universal care, living wages, as goes San Francisco, so goes california. As goes california, so goes the nation. Cities rise and fall, supervisors come and oh. Colleagues, i am honored to work with each and every one of you, our time together to build a city that the last. Lets get to work. Ladies and gentlemen. We are adjourned. applause hey, guys, known a with the weekly. Much to do and much to see. Here the top activities at the top of my list.

Or i want to learn more about it. Social networking and email. I want to know how to use it. Divisional divide is a divide between those with access to use Digital Tools and those who dont. With young people, having computers and i just dont know. Theyre doing it fast. So, i want to know. Not knowing how to navigate the internet or at a loss of what to do. We dont have a computer. Were a nonprofit that unites organizations and volunteers to transform lies through literacy. Our big problem right now is the broadband opportunity program. A federally funded project through the department of aging. So, were working in 26 locations. Our volunteers are trained to be tutors and trainers, offering everything from basic classes all the way to genealogy and job search. To me computers, knowing how to use it. I think its really important to everybody and possibly especially seniors to get enough of these skills to stay in touch. Its been fun. With seniors, to get them out of their homes. So they can connect with their family members. Or their family members. [speaking in spanish]. So, what we focus on is transferring skills from volunteer to learner to help them get onto facebook, find housing in crisis, be able to connect with friends and family. I decided to teach what i learn and it made me want to give back. I discovered that seniors do a lot of review. I am a beginner, so, little by little i learn. I learn a lot now. If you get the basics, you can learn it. Its simple. Its easy. Once you know it. And thats what i want to learn, how to make my life easier and more knowledgeable with the computer. So, what we need right now are more people who speak languages other than english or in addition to english who can give their time during the day and who care deeply ideally about helping to close the divide. Its a humbling experience. Its something simple to ask in our daily life, but to someone that doesnt know and to help somebody gain that experience in any way is awesome. [speaking in spanish]. No matter how tired or cranky or whatever i might feel, when i walk into this place i always walk out feeling great. If you feel comfortable using computers and you have patience, we want you on our team. Would you show me how to type . [speaking in spanish]. Will you help me learn more .

I would like to have sarah come up and give an update to the board. Good morning directors. Sarah gillati. As you can see in this slide, this is todate, our dbe and sbe awarded and paid. The 141 multiple awarded to dbes and sbes represents approximately 18 of our total contracting activity. The count shows that about 36 of our subcontractors are sbes and a quarter of our prime contractors are sbees. This shows dbe and sbe percentages and there is an inconsistency in the presentation. I apologize for that, live to date payment is 49. 6 million. I pulled the wrong number in and i believe that is just the number paid to sbees for the fiscal year 1013. Total live to date payment is the 83 million in the previous slide. But shows that for the current set of fiscal years that were in with our 8 revised goal. We have awarded 14 dbes and 21 to sb es. We worked very closely with the cmgs c and pendergast and associates to have premeetings and new yorking opportunities, workshops down in the construction trailers to folks fill out the paperwork to become certified and doing unbundling and roadmaps for prime contractors as far as where in each package the sbe opportunitis are.
