in san francisco much of what we see here and we live it and it's unique. there is not a status of women in other places and not this program that is supported in the city like san francisco. you don't have a small business assistance center in most cities in the country. we live in a context that is unique and we forget it's not the way it is across the country and keep that in mind as we talk about this, but as we talk about women owned businesses and the larger businesses funded by sba funding and to give you context. first off the san francisco district serves northern california, santa cruz to the border and san francisco is not all of what we do. in san francisco last year we did about 200 sba loans and average loan size is $500,000. it's pretty good size. it's not the micro-programs that we support through the lenders and working solutions is one of those and we have others in the city and the bay area so we so micro-lending support but the main program is a guarantee loan program and 100 banks do those loans in the area and just san francisco city we did about 200 loans for

and invite police and firefighters into an emergency responders commute in san francisco to hmm with the down payments of the first too time home buyers efforts we were asked to vest? our neighborhood park and is streets and we did just that with our million dollar general obligation bond to build and construct more open space most importantly, we put san franciscans back to work and we have a growing economy and we have invested in our city. so the year of 20 if we will, was about getting everything done. and when we did that, we were complimented by an unemployment rate that went in the last two years from 9.6% to as of december, 6.5% one of the lowest in the whole state of california that meant that 31,000 people got jobs in san francisco putting a lot more people back to work. today, when we run around our city, or ride around it or walk around it, you can count 26 criterions in the skyline of san francisco. that means thousands of good construction jobs, all residents being a portion of those constructions from the central subway to the new crudes ship terminal to the trans bay

the structural engineers association of northern california right here in san francisco. they're a wealth of information and resources. >> what kinds of things might you encourage tenants to do besides simply get tenants renters insurance and earthquake insurance, what else do you think tenants should do? >> i think it's really important to know if they happen to be in the building where is the safest place for them to go when the shaking starts. if they're out of the building, whats' their continuity plan for connecting with family? they should give their emergency contact information to their resident manager so that the resident manager knows how to get in touch. and have emergency supplies on hand. the tenants should be responsible to have their extra water and flashlights and bandages and know how to use a toilet when there's no sewage and water flows down. and the owners of the building should be proactive in that regard as well. >> so, george, thank you so much for joining us. that was really great. and thanks to spur for hosting us here in this wonderful exhibit. and thank

maritime activities in the port of san francisco. i was curious have you put your toes in the water at all to see if any donors are really interested? >> commissioner adam. >> a couple of questions. one in terms of the timeframe and being more specific about the site potential assets and site location will that be coming back to us at you're next commission meeting? >> we'll bring it back and i'll work on the exact meeting. >> i was wondering about the offer lap of the timeline. and could you articulate a bit more on the legacy benefits to the city. you alluded to them >> i'd be happy to. i think what i've learned in defining legacy is that the legacy starts with the brick and mot motor . i want that's the easiest touch and feel legacy. but there's a lot of really exciting working relationships like with tarantula sit and opening up in partnerships there that were working relationships with the coast guard. work with frankly neighborhood organizations to link them to the waterfront and sort of reintroducing a new group of people to both visitors and locals to what the waterfront has a

address here. it sends a message for all student in san francisco. you know that this city's future don't understand on the education we provide for all our children. it's with great pleurisy introduce the mayor of the city of san francisco. good morning thank you laura republican for that kind introduction and thank you for opening your divorces to me this morning. i want to honor david and all your supervisors and to our two newest supervisors. mayor brown thank you for being here and taking the time to join us this morning. you have done so much in this county >> and since this is my first city address i'm hoping you'll cut me some slack if you chose to write about it in the newspapers. to the department heads and consistent leaders and education leaders to all of you who are online and thank you all of you for joining us this morning. and, of course, to my wonderful wife, mother and friend thank you for being here and pitting up with me for all these years >> a year ago i stood before i and score my term of office pledging to seize the year of the dragon to focus on jobs and to

was getting at there is expectation in san francisco there is transparency and as you develop the competency scpis wanted to ask about protecting the privacy of interested applicants and how you advise us to play that part and protecting the privacy of anyone interested in the position. hopefully that we get a lot of people but how can we ensure that privacy will be protected? >> good question. there are two things that we try to do with candidates. number one, we ensure confidentiality will be maintained up until the time they come to san francisco for a face-to-face interview. once they come into this building or whatever building we're going to use then all bets are off and we don't know who they're going to run into, who is going to hear about it. we protect the confidentiality up to that point. we advise candidates when they need to release that information to their current employers so we give them coaching around that, when it's necessary, how to do it, how to keep the lid on. the preliminary references that we do is always done with individual who is will not jeopardize an

? for over 50 of our employees live in san francisco and many of them come from the east bay and the south bay but i don't know what the adjoining counties. >> i'd like to echo the concerns that are raised in regards to laurel height and it's just? general where developments s are planned and their sort of laid out and they don't come to the commission until their pretty much planned. so i think that single homes are the best thing to develop in that area. my other comment is about the 16th corridor but also the other development at mission bay i think that has to be looked at and hopefully, we'll work p with mta to have a robust transportation system in there to be able to make it easier for people to move from the inner sunset and having to go all the way down market and that's a nature commuting corridor multiple times per day for people we need to plan this >> i just wanted to. >> tracy: thank you for a theory presentation and make a comment apparently, this mta plan is what the commission expects other to come. >> just a quick follow-up question. on your process i realize you're

francisco where your world champion san francisco giants start opening day here in san francisco. >>> thank you for joining us it's friday, april 5th i'm pam cook. >> good morning, i'm brian flores. >> with have a lot going on today. a little bit of drizzle here. nothing compared to yesterday when it was flat out rain. a lot of low clouds and foggy conditions. it will be partly sunny today. clouds roll in tonight. no big deal for the giants game. they will be fine. 60s to 70 degrees. here is sal. >>> good morning. this is highway 4. also no problems on interstate 680. this is a look at 237 westbound. it's a nice looking drive as you cross 880. let's go back to the desk. >>> in over night news san francisco police are searching for a suspect accused of leading them on a high speed chase in a stolen taxi cab. paul chambers is at san francisco state university where this pursuit ended. we understand that taxi has just been removed but a pretty big crash there. >> that is correct. in the last six minutes the cab driver was given the cab to take back. it was right here behind us. there is nothin

represents an exciting evolution for the city of san francisco. connecting 11 transit system and boosting the 5.4 acre city park. the transit will be an incredible asset to san francisco area. we are accommodating growth in a manner that both leverages our economic success while preserving our environment and a complete neighborhood that is safer for our pedestrians, open spaces for workers. places to work that you can walk to and places to live, 30 percent which will be affordable for our residents here in san francisco which will ensure a diverse community in this part of downtown. we must improve and enhance our infrastructure which trul highlights san francisco as a world class city. i have had the opportunity to be more intimately involved in this process and i know you have done an incredible job. i have visited the tour and terminal that will improve our skyline. as a district supervisor for the south of market and district plan, i'm excite d that the existing residents will benefit from this neighborhood. i'm also proud to represent a city that is under taken such a large
