doubt involved a traffic stop for failure to have license plate the officer wrong flu searched the trunk and failed to collect traffic data and received a republic manned >> the officer was the passenger in a marked impractical patrol vehicle go who yelled at a cyclist and used harsh and pronounce language there was a witness unrelated to the cyclist who was an attorney for the justification and collaborated the incident. the partner didn't see what happened but saw the officer push the cyclist.

>> good afternoon. i am going to use this. >> so, good afternoon thank you chair noland and welcome, to chair, and president adams, and sfmta board members and the small business commission. we want to really appreciate you for your time and i know for the sfmta board usually you don't have night meetings and so i want to thank you for your time and joining what is traditionally the small business commission meeting regular meeting time. before i start today, i also wanted to address my appreciation to both the office of the small business staff and the sfmta staff in helping prepare both of us and you for this meeting and in particular, christian murdock and boomer

from the sfmta staff and they have been terrific and so i really want to express my appreciation to them. >> and i also want to express the appreciation and acknowledgment, to director reikin and first when we decided to schedule this meeting bs since then director reiskin has convened a couple of s2nomeetings one with chair nola nd working with the small business community and what i would like to say is that with director reiskin and his out reach to the business community and his expression of understanding the needs, and sensitivity of small business issues, and having a real direct interest in really working on this together. i kind of liken it sort of taking the trim tab of a large

ship and resteering it with what he is doing to kind of, what i call the ship of the historical legacy of the sfmta not being that sensitive to small businesses or inclusive and so we are now on a new trajectory and so i want to express our appreciation from the commission and from the small businesses to your leadership, and the direction that we are on. so, with that, i think what i want to, our presentation is to kind of give you for the sfmta board an understanding of the small business commission, its governing rules, its history, why we are here. who we are representing, and our roles and functions. and then, we have a series of recommendations and discussion items that i will be presenting on that have come both from

conversations with at the small business commission and with the small business community. >> so to give you an overview of the history of this small business commission, it actually started with a small business advisory commission in 1986. then, the board of supervisors in 1999, dropped the advisory from the commission name and created the office of small business affairs, in 2003, the voters passed proposition d in november of 2003, adding to the city's charter a small business commission, and i think to our knowledge, this small business commission is the only chartered commission in the united states. proposition i, passed in november of 2007 amending the administrative code to define the duties, which created, and

the functions of the office of small business, and mandating that the office of small business under the guidance of the small business commission, establish a business assistance center and that is what we have today. so, to give you a bit of an overview of the structure of the office, there is the small business commission, and under that, i report to the small business commission. then we have in our staff, starting from the left, a policy commission secretary policy analyst, a supervisor to the assistant center and a case manager. then, we have one case manager who also handles our marketing promotions news, letters, and program matters. and then in the case manager that helps also do supplemental policy research and now the

office of small business, our budget is under the office of economic and workforce development. so, we have a strong partnership with the office of economic and workforce development because our budget is all under the larger umbrella of that department. and so, we have a very close relationship and structure to the investing neighborhoods program and to the jobs. and so we work in direct partnership with those programs that are directly under the office of economic and workforce development and so sometimes it is a little confusing because sometimes, we might be seen as more of the office of workforce development but because we have a commission for our department, there is a certain amount of autonomy and separateness, and now the mayor does, because you will see in a minute, the mayor appoints four members of this commission of the small business commission, and so, i, as a director i do report to

the mayor just as director reiskin does and even though there is oversight to the department by the board. >> and so the small business commission, comprises of 7 commission members, four appointed by the mayor and three appointed by the board of supervisor and they have four-year terms. at least five commissioners must be small business owners, operators or officers of a small business. and one of the commissioners may be current or a former owner, operator, of a small business, or a member of the commission may be an officer representative of a neighborhood economic development organization.

the department of parking and traffic which is now the sfmta to provide the information and staff assistance to the office

of small business, regarding business impacting laws, regulations and administration to the departments. and the office of small business does have liaisons with your department and with various other city departments as well. and currently the liaisons that we primarily work with with the sfmta assist us on business issues, or the business questions, mostly around maybe, curb colors, sometimes the deals with curb cuts and helping businesses understand, you know, the issues around the curb cuts but that is more around planning but also, we have, it has got issues that we assist them with as well. and our primary liaisons with the department are with jerry robins and julie and cindy and what we have not cultivated well are on the liaisons more on the policy, and project

matters and so that is probably one area that would be great to explore tonight is to look about how we can strengthen our create liaisons in those particular areas. but, we do want to say that the liaisons that are business counselors work with, with jerry and jewelry and cindy and we have a great relationship, great response and they have been very responsive. the services that we provide are also monolingual one on one assistance from start up expansion and we provide a checklist of the local and tait federal requirements by business type and we refer to the technical assistance for businesses regarding planning, financing, and things of that sort. permanent assistance, and coordination with city departments and help the businesses understand the prokurment certification and business programs that are out

there for them. this just gives you an idea of the number of businesses that we have worked with since the assistant center has opened, so last year, for the year of 2012/2013, we are interacted with over 4,000 businesses. the small business commission for the mission of the small business commission its primary function as specified in the charter is to over see the office of small business and the administrative code specifies additional responsibilities and the most notable among them are that the small business commission shall set policies for the city regarding small businesses in order to promote the economic health, of small businesses, of the small business community in san francisco, its employees and its customers.

and to make recommendations to the mayor on rates, fees, similar charges, with respect to items coming within its jurisdiction. in addition, additional responsibilities as put forth in the administrative code is to review all legislation effecting small business and making recommendations to the board of supervisors, review the rules, regulations adopted by the city departments that effects the small business and recommend the modification that will promote the health of small businesses and conduct investigations under its power of inquiry in any aspect of government operations effecting small business including holding hearings, this today and taking testimony and to make recommendations to the mayor and board of supervisors and so, the small business commission, and its current strategic plan, has four

particular categories, one is to with the office being opened for five years, do an assessment of the performance measures and evaluate the service effectiveness and maximize the small business offices out reach to the community and stream line the process and advocate for the small businesses through the involvement on the policy discussions and the legislative process and under, and its goal for the small business commission and the office of small business are very pleased today to expand our dialogue, with you with the staff of the sfmta and the board effecting our small businesses. i want to talk about the common bond between the small business

and the sfmta, and because without the sfmta and it working well, the businesses, customers have a hard time getting to them, no matter what mode of transportation, they take whether it is car, taxis, walking bicycles, the train, many small businesses employees take transportation to get to and from the work and so the reliability of the bus and trains, are critical for businesses as well.

and the decisions that you make for the sfmta effects that. the requirements and because sometimes, this is not, necessarily always understood by the other departments. but for small business, they see the city as one big entity. and so, whether it is the sfmta and whether it is puc, and whether it is dpw and whether it is the department of public health, they see us all as one. and i like to liken it as if you are looking at your bank, and you have a checking account and a savings account and a mortgage, or, you know, a home equity line of credit or a credit card, you like at your financial institution as one entity to be able to navigate and you want the ability for those things to be able to

communicate and function well, with each other, for you to be able to manage, what in this situation, managing your money. so, with small business and primarily, our commercial corridor businesses, there is a lot that the city brings to them. and asks them to do. and so, it is the graffiti is on the business, they are required to do the graffiti removal and they are ticketed and find if it is not removed. if there is a need for sidewalk repair, they are basically informed that they need to repair and the consequences and if the business decides to increase the employees and goes over 20 employees there is the added expense of the healthcare security ordinance and while the healthcare security ordinance is a good thing but it does mean that once that business adds one employee, it could add anywhere from the immediate 60 to 50
