Thank you commissioner breed colleagues this resolution urges the San Francisco Employers Retirement system to join a nation Wide Movement of investors with who are holding the executive officers of pubically traded company forces their excess contemplate how fragile our countrys middleclass have become and reveals the forced has been operating our economy has continued to grow but it is done at the expense of the hard working people were a topheavy nation banning the dream as i mentioned in the basis around vetting in the Free City College movement our countrys middleincome the largest classes here in america has sullen and become smaller our low income communities San Francisco has the wide it income gap from the country awhile medium wages have been stagnate with the cost of living its grown as a unprecedented rate over nine hundred percent since 1998 since the quote stay an pay requirements by the dog Consumer Protection those who to landmarked this inequality have the tools to take legislative action we know in reply the average ceos was seven hundred and 74 to one not only on the job numbers are a misrepresentation of the employees values the excess compensation effects the performance in the long run in 2016 out of one hundred companies with the 15e78 s p were the highlight and the temple companies with highest csos underperformed by 5 percent costing their investors money they thats what where we come in Public Employees may not that of themselves with the power to influence we are and Pension Funds across the country all over the world manage magnificent portfolios that contain many of pumping traded companies now required to report the data those are taxpayers dollars and the fund of your employees with the a. D. Vented the stay on pay compensation manned by doug frank those leverage the individuals to vote against executive compensation packages last year the state of wisconsin and the florida modification voted against 73 percent, 82 and 84 of pay packages respectfully here in San Francisco we only voted against 7 percent of the exists fee thats why the board the San Francisco board of supervisors should urge them to consider the compensation reports of pay ratios for sf first and the portfolio and those use our permittee power to limit the excess compensations we know that is having an impact on the city we see the growing homeless impoverished families in San Francisco those actions should be in accordance with the sf policy the ownership the equalities interests in concert with other owners to have theville social issues and increased transparency requirement have revealed excess pay and who this negatively impacts the individual employees but a negative knock out effect for stakeholder and results in the economy as a whole i mentioned many of the Companies May their ceo underperformed and have an impact on the investment of our employees and stated in the resolution those studies show that the companies with the highest disparities with the workers underperform worst we also found it the diversity on the board of supervisors has been linked to better performance as well i want to thank supervisor cohen that served as the president of sf first working closely with us and also her suggestions and amendments im introducing a set of amendment that have been distributed to the members of the board i want to enforce we have a fiduciary to the employees and or so report but as you see only continues to make the case that while this is a small sheriffs deputy but this fulfilling our fiduciary duties and hopefully, we can encourage more stays and states across the country to follow florida and wisconsin and hopefully San Francisco as well colleagues would love our support on the amendments i have distributed and, of course, on the overall resolution and finally, i want to also acknowledge and thank our retirees that ton would one and local 1021 for ref this and work, working but as you before i call on commissioner cohen can i have a clear explanation of your amendment the therefore, be it resolved urges the sf to use the proxy voting power in a fail and pay votes to elopement the compensations and sophisticating can you explain what this specifically does. This is actually the heart of resolution the resolution is to urge our employment retirees to use the proxy power as an investor in you pubically traded companies in the portfolio to vote no on the fee compensation and asking for sf to develop a set of guidelines to examiner what is excess and what is in the and asking for a guidelines before the end of this year to consistently vote yes or no on the chiefs fee compensation as i mentioned as a major stakeholder in the pubically Traffic Accident companies we as investors can vote on ceo compensation and over the last couple of years were stat to see that public entities the state of with his was a and the state of minnesota have started to vote and as i mentioned start voting no on 73, 84 percent of pay packages that come before that city and county of San Francisco has only voted on 7 percent this is to encourage us to begin that practice we believe that not only is the it is important, important the country and workers it does impact the performance of companies that the companies that have the worst and most excess fees tend to underperform other companies. Thank you for if clarity. Commissioner cohen. Good afternoon good to see you all here commissioner kim for working with the advocates and getting this before us and thank you, again youre leadership a couple of things i wanted to maybe talk through first, i wanted to talk about dodd frank for the Consumer Protection act this is a offered an opportunity to improve the transparent and accountability in the meddled National Corporations particularly that the retirement board has a financial stake this is incredibly important piece of reform legislation i want to temper that your hearing ongoing xfks that President Trump might be looking at this is proven to be a fiduciary imperfect that means that till when boards is exists diverse and anymore people of color theyre making very long and more sound investments and incorporating the people with with diverse backwards they allow the business countrys or more importantly recognize opportunities i want to note that the San Francisco employment system is responsible for managing 20 billion to support the pensions for some of the cities tireless workers nurses and muni operators it includes Police Officers and even includes us right here on the Chamber Floor today whale the staff has done an excellent job and the best performers in this class of peers we have a 4 billion unfunded liability 4 billion with a b unfunded liability were not fully funded if we pay out everyones pension well be short by that amount being 4 billion and a large part of standing up for workers making sure that we are there to protect our own like those who retired and depending on the pension as president of the board i wanted to recognize we dont want to limit the staffs ability to invest in the returns forces the city workers but use the tools to demand transparent and accountability in our investment so thats why we continue to lead connecting the dots with continue the Residential Hotel of our investment to our workers and community so commissioner kim im happy to support this legislation i want to encourage everyone here on the board to support this legislation thank you.
