and that s how i see our investments, as an opportunity to make sure that good things happen for people here in san francisco, and we create a better future with these incredible investments. so make sure, all the departments, you spend this money wisely. you don t take pen and paper home that you don t need. [laughter] and you do your very best to show folks in this city that we are the greatest city in the world because we put our money where our mouth is, and because of that, we are able to create a more thriving, equitable, safe, and secure city for all san franciscans. thank you all so much for being here. [cheers and applause] with that, i would like to turn it over to our budget chair, supervisor sandy fewer. [applause] thank you, madame mayor. good morning, everyone. wow. on behalf of my 80,000 residents in the richmond district, i would like to welcome you to this part of town where our summers look like this every day off mac. but where we are doing good work to
demand. in all likelihood, that would be something that would be coming forward, if the exemption stays in place, at the state level, probably coming forward at a local level to require all businesses. do we have any kind of idea on the date for ab-161? it is still in the senate. we do not have a date, at this point. then, lastly, i just want to say that the last strategic plan that the department has is from 2013-14. i have discussed this with the president, and the vice president, that it needs be updated. i think this is something we could work on during the commission meeting without having to have a separate meeting. we will be working with president adams and vice president dwight to bring that to you. great, thank you. quick question, going back to the earlier thing. you mentioned one-stop shopping for the new portal. this goes into an idea, i was just wondering, what does that mean like you can apply for all of the permit, just through the portal, or? we wer
then at the eback end take s a ba bank credit. at the end of the day that s going to deliver about $8.1 million to this project. [ applause ]. i just want to really acknowledge the team that really have pushed this forward quickly on this project. first of all , david wilkin sos has been our consultant from northern california community loan fund. thank you, david. thank you for helping me understand this weave of stuff and so forth. leading the way to make sure that we anchor the new market tax credit that we needed for the project is the city of san francisco and the san francisco community investment fund, or as we call it sfif. without them jumping in and p putting their projestamp on thi project, i don t know if othes s would have joined as easily. we just wareally want to thank e sfif for supporting us. along side of the sfif, san francisco sfif was california loan fund who in vvested with u early as well. the group that put us over the top is an organization called c
requiring toxic free paper. it still does have that small business exemption, but our office has worked with the department of the environment, where we will be submitting a joint recommendation to the city , legislative committee saying that we support the legislation i m sorry i didn t finish this, should the event be that if the legislation does eliminate the small business exemption, i think we are fine with that. i think, statewide having all businesses provide that paper it helps create a greater market demand. in all likelihood, that would be something that would be coming forward, if the exemption stays in place, at the state level, probably coming forward at a local level to require all businesses. do we have any kind of idea on the date for ab-161? it is still in the senate. we do not have a date, at this point. then, lastly, i just want to say that the last strategic plan that the department has is from 2013-14. i have discussed this with the president, and t
let s give all these board members a big hand. [ applause ]. i mentioned earlier we went through the slog of trying to find something to buy so then we can figure out what we can build and how much it will cost. the first person who probably had to go through therapy after joining me on this effort was dan mckue our real estate representative and literally we worked for two and a half yeas s to get to this site and bewent through three pricing scoping and buying exercises and so forth. did you thank you, dan, for working with me and still being able to call me a friend. we also have identified an al all-star team to help us with this kitchen and build it. the first person i mentioned earlier but i want to call out specifically again is mike bal divrks dwin from kitchen concepts. mike was chosen not because he s one of the best in the field nationally, but because he served for decades in the meals on wheels in anaheim. when i saw his work there, i said you re the right guy
