>> i simply want to take the opportunity to note that we've had a couple of incidents including a shooting that took place over a week ago and also had vandalism that took place on the valencia corridor and i want to take the opportunity to thank the police department as well as thank all of the residents of the mission who have been rallying around this issue and coming together to figure out a constructive way that we as a community can address this issue we had a community meeting last night i thought was a very productive meeting we were able to hear not only the steps taken by the police department and variation agencies working to maintain the safety of our neighbors
3:05 am
but to hear directly from the community and it's amazing to see the level to which people care about their neighborhood and the fact that i think that led to people wanting to be more involved and an example that sometimes something positive can come out of something negative i want to also thank supervisor weiner we addressed the issues of vandalism that involved an officer shooting that took place a few days back but whatever the reason there's no excuse for that kind of activity and vandalism for local businesses simply trying to survive
3:06 am
struggling to stay /a float and that's simply not a proper way to express any kind of frustration so again we look look forward to looking with the agencies community partners and i want to thank everybody involved with the work that's been done over the last few days. >> thank you supervisor compos. >> the first one regarding a new piece of legislation i'm introducing today. one of my main concerns as supervisor has been addressing a potential threat by the influx of retail businesses on our smaller neighborhood businesses and we've held hearings and i've passed legislation to address these concerns but for the past few months i've been working with

advocates and small business owners some here earlier to help create solutions to problems created we call this package good jobs and healthy communities and we introduced today the first piece of our legislative packet which will establish a healthy food retailer incentive program and help with the incentive and assistance programs for healthy food retailers and also addresses another important priority. promoting healthy ier food options. reduce extremely processed
3:08 am
foods high in salt fat and sugar content especially in under served parts of the city. providing incentives for existing stores to change their business plans to offer fresh produce and healthier foods. also an over abundance of corner stores that sell a huge amount of junk food that are high in salt fat sugar and especially low in nutrients in communities that lack supermarkets families depend heavily on corner stores for food purchases limited to packaged food and very little if any fresh produce. so a one stop shop that would provide information and technical assistance to all
3:09 am

3:14 am
the staging and signs that are going up i've heard from some members of my community including members of the carpenter's local 22 and the local 510 that perhaps america's cup is not living up to its obligations around the inclusion plan so i want to have a hearing to look at the status of how we're meeting our obligations and making sure we're hiring locals so in the next couple of weeks i'll be having that hearing and i have an announcement about an important event in my district you may remember that on august 7th there was a fire that effected 8 businesses on ocean avenue and these businesses are struggling
