it's 800 pages, but you can go through it, which is what we did in our neighborhood to see what parts were about columbus after and that's where we saw that they had these impacts that were extremely negative and had no suggestions for mitigation. i found that to be very interesting to look at and i would request they look at it and we do also. you know, we could pull out the parts that are relevant because it's citywide, but it pretty much goes through every commercial corridor that's projected to have changes. >> commissioner riley. >> yes, i want to follow what commissioner dooley was talking about. i said that we need to see the six items prior to the meeting so we can identify areas of concern, and i also think that mta needs to see all of that as well so they can identify areas

that are contradicting or impacting each others's plan and they can come prepared toens d answer some of the questions. i think that would be more productive. >> director. >> i was going to have more follow up questions but i'll let commissioners go. >> commissioner ortiz. >> maybe something they can provide in the parking plans [inaudible] the data on their vacancies so we can get a grasp of all the parking facilities across the city. checking their occupancy levels and maybe we could devise something with sfmta and small business merchants to see how we can fill them up or if we

need more ma /tpa 'til says facilities in the city. >> i think one thing we need more is public signage for our public parking lots. we have one that's sort of in between north beach and china town and it's not heavily using and there's no signage for people coming in and we want to encourage everyone to use these parking lots. >> there's signage on kearney street i think showing how many vacancies. >> right, but it would be nice to have some signs that say public parking garage with a sign. >> we have the new ones so i know the ones you're talking about. it's interesting, there is no big sign -- that's the one where northern state now is central police station is. right, there's no sign for that

one. there's signs for all the other ones around there but no sign for that one. >> we need to double check on all and make sure they all have parking. it would be helpful on major corridors like columbus or broad way in that neighborhood -- a sign that says public parking garage that way. >> that garage several years ago when i was in the parking industry, it always had vacancy high. >> right. same thing -- we want to bring up using that garage, nighttime traffic and with people looking for parking it's very high in that area, especially on weekends. i would love to talk to mta about, you know, extending their hours on weekend nights when neighborhoods are mobbed with people going to restaurants and bars and nightclubs. you don't

have that closed and empty. it just seems like it's kind of anti all our policies. get those cars off the street and that'd be something i'd like to talk to them about. >> do you think there is any value to to -- i was just thinking as the job squad was here doing a presentation, you know, of informing the sfmta that especially for businesses in our neighborhood, commercial /-rbl districts, they're talking about the quality of life on the street, but also if there's a crack on the sidewalk the city comes to them to repair this crack in the sidewalk. in there's graffiti then the city comes to them for that. we're now having a special fee on your register. there's paid sick leave, healthcare, security ordinance. there's so much that we as a city are laying on businesses

and so for them to kind of understand that landscape so that when that comes in -- for them to understand that businesses see the sfmta as part of the entire city and not just its separate entity. it's seeing as one other thing you're doing that may impede my ability to get income, but i have to pay, but you're requiring me to pay to help keep sidewalks maintained, to pay -- there's so much that we're asking businesses to pay into the city. i just wanted to know if you think there's any value to -- it doesn't

necessarily have to be at the hearing, but a way to present to the sfmta to answer the landscape of which our businesses primarily in our neighborhood, commercial district and the businesses along the commercial corridors have to deal with in interface with the city, so when one more thing comes there may be other stuff behind their response and why that may be. >> i think that's a good idea. also address the frustration that small businesses have when all these infrastructure projects that mta is pushing forward on and, as you say, then all of us are paying all these extra fees and then we feel like mta's -- we don't have any recourse to discuss things with them.

>> do we need to take public comment on this? >> we do. >> any members of the public who would like to comment on item number seven. seeing that public comment is closed. >> i think what i'd like to do is -- christian can work with this and massage it and present to the outreach committee sort of maybe a little bit more of a -- put it together a little more into a tighter package and then come back for the next commission meeting in november with something that you can affirm, that you would like to sends over to the sfmta board. >> do we have a date? >> november 18 and i was going to do that during my presidential part. >> that's for the joint committee? >> no.

for november's commission meeting. >> you're hoping to have that [inaudible] meeting before the end of the year? >> second week, our first meeting in december, which would be the second monday of the month. okay, next item. >> our next item is item eight, director's report. this is a discussion item. >> commissioners, you have in your binder the director's report. jane sent out to your the dashboard, our quarterly dashboard and so wanted to just bring to your attention that we have seen a reduction in our client services, so in consultation with christian and martha and jane, i think some of the things we can attribute to this is the job squad has

been out and are facilitating the needs and responses that are assistance to businesses that they come contact that may have been referred to our office. we need to now go and serve cross reference entities that have contacted through our office license 1, 2, 3, if they've got to our website and on to that, so in that respect license 1, 2, 3 facilitated their need to get assistance in our office. also, there's been a decrease in unemployment or an increase in employment so many individuals that we saw, especially during the height of the economic downturn, people trying things on their own, so

if there are more individuals who are employed may be less likely to pursue other avenues for income. this is the first quarter we've seen a decrease so i will go through and go back and do some more cross checking with the percentages of decrease. are they existed businesses, is it more in our start up businesses and things of that sort so we'll have that report for you next month. >> that's overall /tkeu decrease of 11 percent? >> it's a decrease overall of 3 percent. >> it's summertime too. >> so the healthcare security ordinance, accessible parking

affordable care act has two meetings left and these meetings will be we are still waiting for some file determinations. the city is still waiting for some final determinations we have around the mra and other items that, from the federal government so we hope that we will have those definitive answers in this timeframe that the council needs to make some recommendations to the mayor. >> i'm hearing good things about the california on line. you hear the national stuff with issues, the california -- covered california is actually working quite well. i know several people are gone on it, mixed results as far as, like, costs on people. i know some people whose

healthcare costs went down and i know a handsful of people whose healthcare costs went up. we have a mix, but as far as, like, accessibility and everything, i've heard no issues with that. >> well, that's good, that's good to hear. and then the online business portal next week will be going before the budget and finance committee to release the funds to start working with to work with contractors to help us develop the portal. osb, we have developed an integrated intake form if somebody comes through the website and wants assistance so when they fill out the form it triggers us that there's a new prospect. >> it's called a prospect and we can contact them and follow

up with a detailed case. >> the same thing with the counter, people now enter in their information and it goes directly into sales force so this should cut down on our time in doing sort of the dual, whether everything before was written on a piece of paper and entered in later. we have that ahead of us. then the [inaudible] resolution you heard at the last meeting was approved by the board of supervisors last tuesday. i'm working on fine alizing our agreement, but there's some special considerations we need to work on with them, but we're just about complete in finalizing our agreement so we'll have a unique agreement with them, and then we can work on identifying our first three borrowers that we'll have as a

trustee. i provided you with a list of presentations and workshops that we will be -- the staff is going to be engaged with in november. we do have the launch of small business shops mall banners are up. i don't know if you've seen any yet as sort of the lead up to small business saturday, but we have also started working to promote small business saturday as well and kicking off that campaign. we talked about the joint hearing with sfmta board. i wanted to highlight in the dashboard one of the things we are particularly proud of is the business of [inaudible].

came to our office in 2010 and we connected them with la cacina and the opportunity fund. they started out with just a cart in justin her man plaza and now they have a store front. they're going to be opening their second store front. they're not a recipient of the revolving loan fund and they have plans in which they want to franchise. anyway, they're one of our -- i wanted to bring to your attention -- one of the businesses we've helped that's taking off and started out from a food cart, you know. that concludes my report. >> thank you. >> next item please. >> i'm number nine, the president's report, this is a discussion item. >> in november we only have one

meeting on november 18, a 2 o'clock meeting. i decided since we have veteran's day on the 11th and thanks giving is at the end of the month i figured one meeting next month because i didn't think you guys wanted to meet two weeks in a row so if everybody's fine with that we'll hold on to that /skel /skwraoud. schedule. other than that i don't have anything else to report. >> thank you mr. president, that takes us to item ten, vice president's report. >> yes, i just attended the san francisco chambers neighborhood summit. that was really nice to have the supervisor come out and to have different departments in the city to come out to talk to some of the small business on the corridor. it was a morning meeting and had a great turn out. >> great, thank you. next item
