to the undermining of the original legislation, and that we cannot have. i agree with supervisor kim's comments that we can make sure to support small businesses, but also to support jobs with dignity here in san francisco. these measure, these amendments offer that. i also look forward to the work that the workers do, also supporting small businesses. small businesses are able to be successful because of their labor. that should be recognized. the health care reimbursement accounts are part of that wealth that are part of their compensation that we should be able to honor here today. i want to thank supervisor campos, i hope, colleagues, that we can vote on this today. [applause] president chiu: supervisor campos?

supervisor campos: thank you, mr. president. i want to thank everyone who has commented on this. i, as a general rule, i am open to continuance. a continuance is appropriate only if there is actually room where two different views of the world can coalesce. the problem that we have here, and we have heard from supervisor wiener, and i have a lot of respect for supervisor wiener about the contrasting this plan with a sledgehammer. the courts made it clear, but to the extent that you try to define the concepts of benefits and try to micromanage this kind of an account, that you are going to have legal problems.

and to the extent that people are talking about compromise, the compromise that has been discussed, and we heard that in "the chronicle," focus is on the kind of benefits that would be required for employers to give their employees. it would put limitations on the limitations employers can place on the accounts. if we go down that road -- and i think that is what my colleagues are thinking about when they talk about compromise -- we are falling into a legal trap that will ensure that not only we lose this amendment, but we jeopardize the entire health care security ordinance. that is the fear that we have here. compromise may be appropriate, but at the end of the day, you do reach some situations where

you have to make a choice. if you are going to have universal health care, are you going to let a small percentage of businesses utilize and exploit the people? are you going to allow for a situation where consumers are being asked to pay something extra for something that is not going to happen? are you ok with taxpayers bearing that burden? that is where we are. if there were a way we could do that and strike a balance without legal risk, we would be open to with. that is not the case here. that is not the case here. which is why, if we go down this road, on behalf of the coalition, a very broad coalition working on this item, i would say that instead of going down this road, so we do not jeopardize the legality of the entire health care ordinance, the coalition would

rather table this matter and not act for fear that in the interest of acting for the sake of acting, we are putting the entire legislation in jeopardy. >> is that a motion? supervisor campos: that is a motion. president chiu: motion to table is non-debatable and it takes precedence. >> supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: aye. supervisor wiener: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: no. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor cohen: no. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor farrell: aye. supervisor mar: aye. 9 ayes, 2 nos.

not gone anywhere so far. dbi has not since the 2007. we have spoken with an inspector. the entire foundation of the cottage which means to be report -- which needs to be replaced. we had -- to support that, we have a permit applications for the entire cottage. the cottage and the front property being attached, it is really our scope of work under that permits. that was our first concern. the second, and that was our

argument, the fact that was validated by the city, but the inspector who came to our house. in 2007, they documented that the work to be performed for the cottage would be continued once the permit was going to be issued. that did not happen until 2009. we are waiting for funds to take care of the front of the house and the rear of the cottage. president chiu: thank you very much. i will ask all members of the public to have a conversation with a member of dbi in the hallway. hang tight. >> yes, i am our residence and i'm actually one of the owners. the foundation is a part of the permit process. we do have of permits for its.
