Advance payment practice to fund loans to subcontractors to address what we have often heard from some of our smaller subcontractors, it cleans up modernizes 14b and formalizes the transfer of chapter 14b implementation from the Human Rights Commission to the city administrator. It would keep the limit up which the city would guarantee as part of its Surety Bond Program as 750,000, it keeps the mayor as the official who resolves matters when the awarding authority and the director are unable to agree whether to divide a contract into smaller contracts to maximize the opportunity for lbes to participate. It changes 14b. 5 on puc regional projects that are 70 miles or more outside San Francisco or force the costs to be shared and it corrects a number of drafting issues that we have in the version that we had originally introduced. So, with that, what id like to do is ask bill barnes representing our city administrator to make a brief set of introductory comments and then we can move on t

We often say Small Businesses are the backbone of our economy. Small businesses that employ less than 50 workers comprise 95 percent of all San Franciscos businesses. Our local Small Businesses contribute billions of dollars to our economy every year. But we have not often been focused on how our citys contracting dollars which also constitute billions of dollars every year can be used to support our local and Small Businesses.
