Recommended for sbe policy is inclusion of what a joint venture is, a definition of what is association is, how eligibility for sbe credits are counted and what the aensh will expect in terms of a association and joint voferner agreement. First what is proposed for joint vercher is what is stated on the slide. There is nothing particularly different in termoffs joint venture as one would understand in the contracting world. It is just a separation we stipulated it must meet the minimum threshold assigned by us in terms of what the agreement should contain and subject to our approval. The definition of a association, this is a terminology that is somewhat unique to the agency. What we have done is assign a specific definition where it is a agreement bedween 2 parties established to complete a specific task or project and the agreement should provide the associate a significant project management role and the associate shall be recognized in the marthing and collateral material.

Yourself because you got us and i think that when we look at contracts and i complaints, you know, we dont want to say open pandoras box on that, but i think there could be a way we can say in our contracts that there is a certain number of days subs needs to get paid and provide that and if that doesnt happen then there are fines or something and we can do something. I think you know us enough to know that we are behind you and we seek your advice and creativity to figure this out. I welcome that. So, i have a lots of points and ill try not to be repetitive. I agree with the sentiments exspessed by my fellow commissioner squz want to go sthrou questions i have on the presentation and address comment members of the public made.

Right . These are all front end mptd we are still looking at capturing payments mpt i know one ways we capture payments is when projects are completed for thus far since i have been here, one project has completed which is oddly number the robert [inaudible] contract for 1184 street so we do have payment for that. I included some of that information in the prior informational memo but that is the method we are engaging in. In the onset of getting fully integrated within the [inaudible] program i dont want to jump to the workforce but let me ask the question, do the contractors on our projects have to report pay roll information .

Microbusiness category at 3. 5 million with less than 25 employees or manufacturers. The state of california does certify Small Business that includes disabled veterans within the size thresh holds. What is recommended for this particular amendment is to really expand the ocii size standards by including or adding an additional category for especially constructor contractors and a category for trucking. These categories are industry classifications the city of San Francisco uses and it would make sense to add those 2 particular classification squz adopt size standards we can use that would conform to the city of San Francisco small lbe. We suggest the small lbe classification because those are the size standards closeest to the standards. What is shown is lbii Current Practice for contractors at 14 millions. What is proposed is small lbee at 20 million. For special contractors we dont have a category for that bought what we recommend is we recognize Specialty Contractors at 14 million
