Were setting up lots of barricades gearing up for the fans. We have already seen fans with water and backpacks.

We know anecdotally there are many stories of lbes being put in awkward situations, possibly being, you know, not in favorable positions under larger gcs and anecdotally we know that there are many situations like that, but we couldnt get them here necessarily to speak or put their name to paper. So, you know, just as the previous speaker spoke about possible retaliation with a project that hes currently negotiating with, we need full protection. It is very important to all of us. As agencies are hope gli going to be held more accountable, hopefully as we begin to mold policy and further developed, theyre going to be outliers and they may not want to follow the rules and so these policy breaker need to be called out. Please remember we do need the board protection moving forward. Before the next speaker, i want to just take a moment and mention i just had a conversation with our deputy controller and
I want to be under time. Okay. Well, i might go a little quickly. Supervisor chiu, supervisor avalos, my name is josh chen, [speaker not understood], im president of [speaker not understood] lbe subcontractor that does do construction. I just have a few points to make. One is about the agency the Department Needs to be held accountable. Just to give you a state of the union what is going on on the ground, ive seen some 0 requirement, 10 , some like goals. If they dont meet the goals, hard requirements. If they dont immediate the hard requirements. Were asking for a stronger lbe program, some repercussion for agencies when they dont meet the requirement or goal. Weve done work and oakland in other locales. Their lbe requirement is a hard 50 lbe requirement for local lbes of oakland. That gives you a comparison to inconsistency in ag is. What eric said, it is a good ordinance. It definitely helps lbes, but some time the bigger contractors will go right to the unions and to the local resi

Dollars in construction. On the prime level for design, 63. 1 of the total amount of fees went to nonlbes. 0. 75 of the prime fees went to lbes. On the subcontracting level, 17. 9 of the total fee went to nonlbes and 16. 8 went to lbes. Our question to you is whether 17 local business participation is suitable and appropriate in our city.
