second on the it would be your duty. the original and substitute motion is in the agenda. i'd like to consider the substitute motion we discussed the other evening. is there any objection? yes conspires. the - >> not . >> the meeting was from the fourth of june and we suggested amendments to their original proposal and we see that before us today. we didn't make a recommendation but suggested that we have a substitute amendment. thank you. >> thank you. i see mr. goldman and tom may we please have a reading of the requested action please. >> do you want me to read the entire - >> i wouldn't put you throw that. >> it's a summary. >> you can read page 7. thank you >> i don't see a page 7. >> the bottom page remember. >> okay. action is on page one >> i swear i reviewed that. >> i don't see. here we go. oh. okay i get it. i get it. so on page one mr. tom do you see it the requested action just read that short paragraph >> that the board of education adopt the attached local policy for 2013 proposition a facilitate bond that is executed project labor agreement. >> thank you. new what we will do is hear from our public speakers we have a number signed up to speak on this item. you will have 2 minutes each. as i read your names line up along the wall right there (calling names) >> well my name is willie ratting cliff if anybody don't know me. anyway we'll come down to the final local act of what we've been trying to do for over a year. i met with the previously superintendent along with the present superintendent for over a year ago about this problem. that we have. and anytime a discriminatory practice you're supposed to deal with it. i'm not satisfied with what i see. and we can always move forward after what you do tonight i'm hoping that someone o some of the things that others will bring up because i don't have the time. will bring up that's wrong in here. and one thing about it you're going to set aside money for a group of people that alreayou. >> latino democrats i was going over the latest version and echoed the same feeling i'll take it a little bit further. i'm especially concerned by this little clause here under sanctuary remedies. despite a concerted effort somehow we got back to faith effort that's a concerted effort. i went to law school i know how to word specify myself. i understand how the argument was we need a little bit of wiggle room. there's a lot of krarjts how the there who said they can't compete. here's the nature of business all right. if somebody says they can't do that there's at least 10 to 20 other contractors willing to comply with whatever you come up with. they've got families to feed and it just so happens that their black and brown and asian working class white boys from the richmond district and they're good phone calls for good faith effort. yeah. i've heard this kind of talk. somehow just by changing good faith effort to a concerted effort you're under the assumes that my people can't understand the english language. perhaps i'm stuttering perhaps i have an accent well, i'm offended. >> i'm again appreciate our effort in trying to make this come together. today, i just happenstancely looked at what it costs for a two-bedroom apartment in san francisco. $3,500 with a swim pool but on the lower range one through $200 in a san francisco apartment. i'm an electrician who can't afford inform live in a two-bedroom apartment here in san francisco. it's important that my children s are graduates of the unified school district. it's important that we push for opportunities for them to be employed at all levels. it's important that the education their receiving is relevant in the jobs they'll be having it's important that this local higher be paved. i worry about it was at a higher rate. i want to make sure that people of color have an opportunity. i'm here to advocate for people to not only get on the job site people can go anywhere in the world if they have the skills. but it's important that whatever is passed that we insure that that pipeline is not only field but it's sustainable >> good evening my name is robert woods. i'm with the black leadership. human rights council. i have a couple things i want to throw out i will be quick and very short about first of all, i would say no car bouts the whole $531 million should be commented to this program. if you can i ever out anything that means you are carrying out something for people who have been eating at the bin for a long time and we say no car vote and and the intirm program. we want to see some type of policy or program design that should touch a certain income even if people so we can start a learning base for the community for those communities who have been left out. thirdly, i was here about a month and a half ago when doctor grand jury wanted to turn in a card to speak on a certainty item that was already being under processes and every one of you walked out on her and didn't allow her to speak you allowed her to speak but you left our post unimpaired and didn't hear her. i see someone else turned in a card that was after the subject was being introduced and i wonder are you going to treat that person the same way if they're talking about h. are you going to treat them the same way you treated dr. jackson. it would really show just how arrogant how self-serving that you can be. and i say if that's what you're doing then i say don't do it. >> good evening commissioners. superintendant jenny with affirmative action. we've been working with you in the past year to develop a strong policy that's going to have lasting positive efforts in creating equity and change for our students and families in san francisco. tonight is a moment for the commissioners of where your values lie and our priority that you would set for the school district and the value around the taxpayers of $531 million that will go to renovating our schools. specifically, i wanted to speak to a few proposed edits for the policy you have before you this evening. one adjustment or amendment we want to propose from the community a minimum of 25 percent of working hours are by trade. this would mirror the city policy that we've been working with community as well commissioner fewer and commissioner han i didn't s in showing the replication of the city model that we know it works and is attainable. we know this is a success. lastly we want to speak to proposed edits around internships and we know the value of what internships mean for the school graduates. instead of allowing a blanket waiver from the contractors within the trade susan again to say you can sponsor an interim. in closing again, this is the chinese affirmative action have worked on local hiring for decades we rewe hope you all about make the right decision >> evening with bright line. i'm excited about tonight. it's been a long road i saw president yee join and i think there's a lot of symptom liberalism. and then han i didn't gets effected and everybody everyone's is getting around the torch. thank you for proposing this motion. it's very exciting and we're going to do something historic tonight because of the collective efforts there's always in a marathon a sprint at the end. this seems like the deal. it's nothing new that's not been stated i want to see it into go back to no car. and you don't have to have a separate vote. last time i thought the deal said for the local higher and the local apprenticess to support the cia trade and to end the trade not just 7 trades. i thought there was support from the building trades council. and from the labor spoke about the support for all trades not just for 7 trades there's 28 trades. final part it's been suggested about the non cinnamons the city has a proposed labor if you call the hall and you can get a blank check and get zero local higher. we ask you to sponsor an apprentices and let's billed the pipeline so next time you call there will be somebody there >> good evening board. james bryant institute of the region director. just this past week i sat on the board for the mayor for the local hiring groups. mr. han i didn't participated in that process. we didn't ask that there be a separate process. and i just want to mention that the separate process back in 20054 if you all remember there was this process called separate but equal. folks that's what you're doing here. your going back to the synoptic separate but equal. you need to be strong just like the folks who passed the brown versus board of education process. they had unanimous support they had to sport each other. separate but without. we want everything to be equal we don't want any divisions. we want to make sure yes our trade brother and sister that are participants we don't want any divisions. if you allow on your legal for this to have a division you'll go back to brown vs. board of education. i want to say this final thing. you all are present with the responsibility of doing the right thing. and for 90 percent of this process you have done great maybe even higher than that 90 percent arrest as josh said there's a couple of caveats you need to address. i ask i address it and let's move forward because we've support you all and we appreciate all of your help so let's do the right thing. >> good evening. again with local 261 i represent over 6 thousand members. i want to echo again, we don't want a car vouch the 43 projects under one million one of them is done and 3 is to go. under one million. it's like you have a full class of kids and you single only the 3 kids those are the ones who need on the hope help. to have the contractors bond like everyone else. i don't see the problem to get a car vouch. we have been saying the local hires in the city we have a big help with city build to help us and they can do that. 50 percent of apprentices and it should be to all the trades. i hear some of the trades they say if even if they don't have a project the longer the individual is willing to traffic some one will employ them. let's get our schools going the kids like the supervisors said let's get our schools done. let's vote it the right way >> thank you. mr. terry initially when we call an item we don't accept a speaker card if you want two minutes to speak i'll give you that opportunity. thank you >> thank you. i appreciate the currency. first of all, i want to say that i agree with the gentleman we're comfortable by trade and with the off-ramps are fully fundamentalal. i do want to actually praise mr. david goldman some of you whodunit were here before you will know that the bond construction program at the district was not just a matter of chaos but of scandal p and david has cleaned up that. i want to disagree with him last week with minority contractors. we have many, many mom and pop contracts ourself they all pay into our trust funds and pay into pensions. this is a tax advantage to them. they don't have to pay takes on the wages. that would - sometime ago prior to one supervisor coming i distributed on one table during that summer 1 fixture of the contracts went to those contracts arrest now the district didn't keep tracking track of how many asian or african-american or latin-american contracts there were. so my affiliates are asking that there be no car vout and i'm repeating that request for them >> okay. thank you. comments from the board. i neglected to acknowledge and visit supervisor yee former commissioner yee the author of this resolution to come up to the staff table and give any remarks before we have discussion supervisor (clapping) >> thank you. >> you have to say it on the mike sir. >> (laughter) >> you know i'm just here to support your decision and i trust that just from my conversations with several of you that you're going to do the right decision tonight. >> (clapping) >> thanks for coming supervisor. all right. comments? questions from the board? >> yeah. i would like to talk about this by trade piece and to make the amendment just by trade but i'd like to hear the practice behind the 7 and i'll hold off the meeting. >> the bond program uses somewhere between 25 and thirty different trades on our projects. and the 7 rerecommend for inhabitation in the specifics of the program they probably account for 70, 17 percent of the total working hours. my certain with regard to expanding it to all trades is volume of this process is the prequalification of firms and we have no idea how many firms that is. it may slow the process down or make it tougher for the contracts to put teams together. i'm relating the 7 as a way to start. if we find out during the initial remedies of this program the numbers are not there then we can modify the program to add more trades. >> so i am not i guess the certain there is there's also a process involved in focusing on certain trades rather than treating everyone the same. do you for saw it being slowed down. we originally choose the 7 trades because that represents the number of work hours on the job 70 to 75 percent of the hours on the job in respect many of the 28 trades that have one person on the job for one day or two people on the job for 3 days and come back three weeks later. we don't want to be perpetuately finding people in non-cinnamons. so the goal would be to focus on the general contractors across the board to comply to focus on the largest trades, to not be in the business necessarily of sanctioning everybody all the time. and if he find it's working and we need to expand it we will. but it's a good place to start >> commissioner and i was wondering how many people - how many trade unions find the lp a. we need to remember we can only do this within the context of the p l a so if we propose to include trades that didn't participate the last time
