Towards meeting and we certainly appreciate the comments from the caos office about working to get data to support that goal, but it is not a goal that needs to be directly tied to availability, as we used to have to do under the old mewb program where legally there has to be availability in order to set a goal, now we can be and we think that we should be much more aspirational about how the goals should be set, where should be we at the city if we want to support our small, local business community, how can we get there . The Small Business community and the economic engine of this city. And they should recognize that as an asset and work to increase that. We think that there are tools that the departments can have that can do that more. Thank you. Thank you. Very much. Next speaker.

And we are going to conduct another one this summer with the puc at the Contractor Assistance Center and so i have been working with their team and also at public works we are going to conduct additional Public Management and other trainings targeting to bridge that gap between being sub, to becoming a prime and we are hoping to do that in the fall of this year and i wanted to point out one other metric on the last slide there, is out of 7 possible micro, lbe contract ordered during 2122, 7 of them did go to microlbe and that is great and we have a good trajectory and i wanted to point out that the director made a goal for us to award as a department 25 microlbe contracts and as of today, we ordered 34. So you will see that of those you have got 15, additional, and i mean, i am sorry, 8 additional contracts that are awarded in q3, to micros, lbe set aside and then we will see on the Veterans Building seismic upgrade which is right across the street and you probably see the c
Supervisor chiu on issues and legislation and dealing with the contracting world and so i heard from the community loud and clear about the need from some improvements and so i want to thank supervisor chiu and all of the department of relative and the Community Members that have shared with us and kept the offices informed about what is happening out in the real world and so with that, i will be there, at the workshop in the sunset district along with you all to hear what you have to say and with that, supervisor chiu, would you like to continue the hearing to the call of the chair . Why dont we call this hearing item, likely if we introduce legislation, perhaps later this month, within a month, we could have a hearing on the legislation, that had the least i would like to keep this hearing open so we can continue to monitor the progress. All right, continue to the call of the chair without objection. And madam clerk, are there any other items before us today. That concludes our busin
