>> and so it makes me question how good of a deal the city's getting ting when you're also getting such positive pushing from the contractor as well. >> that's why i was glad that we received three bids and we tried to structure the lease to maximize the number of bids. in 2001 we only received a bid from clear channel and the fact that clear channel did 1.5 million more than jc so they did receive 30 percent, we

receive 70 percent. i would n't call that profit because they've got cost and i have no idea what their actual profit is but bottom-line, we had a very aggressive bid. obviously clear channel is taking a big risk especially if we have a recession they are at great risk, and we will be very well protected. >> the potential upside for them is what set of circumstances. >> the upside would be if the economic growth continues and they realize more sales per passenger than what they're getting today. that's a [inaudible]. i don't see a possibility of traffic growing.

i think their best scenario is steady growth, the eight years, very strong economy eight years straight. i've been at the airport 32 years, i have not scene this scenario before. we're very much at a peak right now, not much higher than we can go in our performance. >> any additional discussion. >> let's take the roll call on this item. >> chew i, cohen i, farrell i, kim i, mar i, tang i, wiener i, yee i, avalos no, breed i, campos no. there are nine i's

and two no's. >> resolution is adopted. ladies and gentlemen, why don't we go to our 330 special order. madam clerk. >> we will now honor local small businesses that have been selected by the board op supervisors. >> fabric of our community.

we've been in the district for about a year-and-a-half now. it's a very rough journey. at the particular location i'm in there have been several failed businesses in the last few years. one of the reason is due to the lack of traffic. what separates rolling occupant so far from previous businesses is number one, our special pastry. specifically we'll put in one cup of love and one cup of creativity in everything we bake from sweet potato cinnamon rolls to chili egg tarts. and number two, we strive to be a part of our local community with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. and we try to know our customers by name, welcome them with a smile and a friendly atmosphere. and so far we've been well supported

by the local community for which i'm very grateful and indebted to. we use a wall in our store to showcase the art of local artists, specifically /kheurpbl from age 5 to 12. these artists are all from the young artist school across the street from us. moving forward we have proposed to [inaudible] bringing to local community together and increasing foot traffic to benefit local merchants. we are determined to stick around and as the

saying goes, if i make it here, i make it anywhere. and this time [inaudible]. thank you very much. >> thank you. why don't we now go around the chamber to district seven, supervisor yee. >> i'd like to bring up joanna lay. when i started considering which one small business to recognize from district seven, i realized how lucky i am to be representing -- there are so many businesses

that represent our neighborhood. it's unfortunate that i can only recognize one small business, since this is home to one major merchant corridor. at lake side, lakeside plaza, stones town, even part of [inaudible] thinking about the theme of small /pweutz week, small business shaping our communities, there is one personal that kept coming in mind. that person is joanna lay, owner of joe joe's cafe, located on ocean avenue, who has actively been shaping ocean avenue communality for over a deck decade now. she opened

it in 2002 and i think she has single handedly served the entire community at city college with their budget in mind. it is not only city college students she is feeding. it's the kids at local elementary schools and high schools where she is known for donating hundreds of dollars worth of food each year. she hasn't given up. she and her family focused energy on [inaudible] they

reopened in july of 2011 after a long struggle of trying to fix up the restaurant. and to the joy of many, /eupbl , including many of me and my neighbors, this past year joanna has continued criminal intenting to the neighborhood by kicking off the ocean avenue business watch. she has worked with the ocean avenue association to organize merchants, neighbors and city departments and san francisco police departments to meet and share information and issues related to neighborhood safety, crime prevention and reduction to increase overall small business protection. joanna was sitting there and a voiced

her concerns about more recent incidents around the ocean avenue corridor. together we are finding responses and solution in a way that affect merchant neighborhoods. every neighborhood should have a small business like joe joe's cafe and a small business owner like her to shape the communality. so help me in welcoming here to the podium and . >> thank you. i want to thank you. good afternoon honors commissioner, supervisors ladies and gentlemen. thanks for /eupbl including me at
