My name is owning martinez representing well, a member the San Francisco latino Historical Society not representing them i support the continuance but to give you a little bit of background on this whole situation back in the early 2000 in the eastern neighborhoods plan was started the Planning Department didnt think they had to do the historic surveys and took a couple of years after a lot of public pressure and pressure from the board of supervisors that they finally did the survey and the eir for the eastern neighborhoods acknowledges that the Resources Survey with lagging behind seriously behind and when the mission the survey for the mission was completed and present to the public it was discovered a serious omissions in the Latino History was not covered after 1848 were in the process of doing a historic statement technically the work shouldnt have happened without the work being done now the plan should include the historic Cultural Heritage and the support for the sustainability of resources including the Cultural Resources so never the ground work for the latino Historic Resources in an ideal world that would have been put off until after december when we had the statement available but for now i support the continuance thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Noipdz a ann good afternoon, supervisors i one of the researchers and also with the latino Historical Society the reason we started it because we were left out of this our history was left out of Historic Resources report and one the finding to date the Mission District was the center the China Movement that recognizes internationally and our political latino political and social Justice Movement as well as the latino Labor Movement for those of you who dont know is it hadnt been the effort of social central caucus of labor two 61 and others latinos would in not to have a political voice in the city and a building they taught language to their workers so 0 without the union force we wouldnt have had a political voice and would have never had the city hall the l. B.

Without objection that item is approved unanimously madam clerk please read the memoriams will be adjourned in memory on behalf of supervisor peskin for the late ms. Joan. All right. Colleagues to the end of Business Today madam clerk, is there any additional business to come before this body . That concludes our business for today folks were adjourned have a wonderful one of the major ta was asked to do is Water System Improvement Program and one thing i looked at is about the 4. 8 billion dollars wurthd of work and a lot of the work was regional. We looked at how can we make sure that we provide opportunities for san franciscans and people in the region and so we looked at ways we can expand our local San Francisco lb program. So, we thought about it and worked with general manager at the time to form an advizry committee to talk about how to include local businesses in the region. I was on the First Committee back about 10 years ago and the job changed over time. In the beginning, we just wanted people to know about it. We wanted to attract contractors to come into the system which is a bidding system and bid on some of these projects. Our second job was to help the sfpuc to try to make themselves more user frndly. I like that they go out of their way, have contractors trying to teach and outreach to Small Businesses and lots of creative ways. Help the community as well. There is so much infrastructure going on and repair, new construction that i think is helping to get construction back on its feet. My faiv rlt part of the committee has been that we have played a opportunity for many Small Businesses. [inaudible] Women Owned Business to come in and [inaudible] sfpuc. It is a great opportunity because some are so small they have been able to grow their companies and move up and bid other projects with the sfpuc. Everyone i was talking about with any contractor [inaudible] and super markets and things like that and i realize the transition was on the sfpuc. He got that first job and knows about the paperwork qu schedule and still works on this type of job, but he works with general contractors that also did other things. Pretty soon it is like he did that one and that one. It completely changed his business. My name is nancy [inaudible] the Office Manager and bid coordinator for [inaudible] construction. Worked on 10 plus puc, lbe contracts. Today we are doing Site Maintenance on the [inaudible] chr site and currently the gentlemen behind me are working on every moving and basic specs of plants. In order to be success you need to work hard, bid low and keep a look at the sfpuc website for future bidding opportunity. This is a Successful Program because it provides opportunities to regional communities that might not have opportunities to work for large scale projects. The sfpuc is a fortunate agency we have a lot of Capital Program that span over 7 counties who also to see how some businesses like [inaudible] and bio mass started as small micro businesses grow and expand and stay in the program and work on several projects before they graduate from the program. That is what warms my heart. My name is college willkerson, the principle for bio mass. Bio mass has been in business since 2006. 3 partners. Small businesses fill a niche but apply and being a part of the program helped us be more visible and show the city and county of San Francisco we can also perform services. This program had tremendous impact to the region. In fact, the time we rolled the program out was during the recession. This has h a major positive impact and certified over 150 firms in the rejen and collectively awarded 50 million in contracts, and because of the lbe certification it open many opportunities to work with sfpuc. And, i significantly helped the business. It is one of the major contributors to our success. [gavel] [please hold for technical difficulties] i am good. There
