welcome to lunch. welcome to lunch at city hall well, as you all know your food trucks are here there are here every friday. we're welcoming them and we are just welcoming all the other business the brick and mortar for one area were there are here to join supervisor wiener and ion some good piece of legislation. there's been a movement that we welcomed in the city and, of course, the incredible investments that people have made when we started their

restaurants from the brick and mortar and over the couple of past couple of years we want this to work for everybody. one of the supervisors who always has his hand up for the hardest assignment is supervisor wiener. it's about two years; right? scott that you worked and have had hundreds of conversations as well as with the off the gate members as well to kind of getting a simple way of how do we get to live together with each and how do we get dw to permit those establishments in a fashion that's sensitive to everybody. and now we have to the great

work of the supervisor wiener and a collaboration with all even public works we have a decent ordinance to allow the great room to happen and the collaboration to bring everybody together. it's a wonderful example of something that would have gone haywire if not for a good piece of leadership. it's a good weekend to celebrate but on this piece of legislation i want to thank supervisor wiener for all pious persistence to get all the parties together to constant say let's keep working until we have an

agreement. it's taken two years but it's worth it when i have an industry that's growing but you pay respect for the great folks in brikt in motor. i want to thank even for the hard work they're doing. with that supervisor wiener (clapping) >> thank you, mr. mayor. it was about two years ago that with he saw that was a lot of potential chaos going on with argue brick and mortar restaurants and our food trucks. and, you know, we're a city that values food innovation and having great food for consumers. we take a look at it and found our regulations and our laws regulating food trucks were out-of-date.

so we sat down and it took two years work with the food trucks and the brick and mortar drifks and how the system should be set up. we came up with a set of rules that will have a better balance in terms of how we do this permitting process. so the food trucks won't be in front of the restaurants. we made it easier for food trucks to go into areas that they're currently not loud by reducing the buffer around schools that was 3 blocks in all directions and allowing the food trucks on campuses.

i want to thank the golden date restaurants association and the managers of the association and the parents for lunch advocates who flarptd a great way. i want to have a special shout out to my aid who's taking a well deserved day off today but was incredible in help. we got it through unanimously through the board and i'm looking forward to the mayor signing it today.
