to, however, the recollections go one of the potential requirements they'll be required to register as a business that means the entities are a small business so one of the recent kfgsdz with supervisor chiu's office if they become a registered business that falls within the - those places could fall under title iii of the federal ada and what are the businesses responsibility if their truly a public accomodation entity. and so supervisor chiu's office is going to look at this we're in the messy mid of having those exciting dynamic businesses being created on and on online
7:31 pm
and those opportunities for growth and development but then we have those regulations that are very much, you know, intended for physical brick and mortar kind of businesses. and so this cross section i think is something for us as a commission to review those things and i would be to review them and take a look at it and think about you know the requirements for a traditional business a what over and over those implementations are as we develop those types of unique businesses that come out of the sharing or the new technology economic. so i just wanted to bring that to your attention and supervisor
7:32 pm
chiu's will look at those and we have look at the implementations and in this case with the prevalence with the disability assess lawsuit i want to be causation about opening up a realm of individuals and entities that may not necessarily especially for homeowners that maybe renting out a room because their kids have gone off to college you know opening up a whole new realm of potential problems for them. because now they'll be deemed businesses. so bringing that to your attention i'll continue to have conversations with supervisor chiu's office but when those protections come about i think it is a roll for the commission and the offices to look at those and the issues and side effects
7:33 pm

7:35 pm
>> well, i was going to bring this up under new business. as we look at the design center and how that was going to go in there and displace a lot of the small design businesses it's the same thing at the flower market you're taking away a first of all, you have all the flower shop? bay area that flower mart is a lot of small business >> is this supervisor kim's district. >> yeah. we need to enlist the support of the supervisors. >> i was going to bring feel up those are small businesses being displaced we were going to take this up this is hearsay been there over one hundred years but
7:36 pm
what is the developer going to do those are small business owners who are wholesalers are wish basically going to be put out of business. >> they don't intend to give spaces. >> their though the making any promises. >> why not create a new business item. >> when we get to the new business i'll bring it up. seeing none, public comment is closed next item >> item 13 is general public comment. >> do we have any members of the public who want to make comments on future meetings seeing none, public comment is closed. item 14 new business >> i got some. >> okay. so on the heels of our conversation today i'd like to us to research and perhaps find a supervisor sponsor to repel
7:37 pm
the legislation that requires the registration for the po s licenses and to craft some kind of an enforcement model not a blanket preempt active model that instead provides deterrence to that businesses are encouraged to uphold, you know, to act within the law there is a law there are various enforcement models it's not mandated the way we've implemented it and the way we've implemented it is waiting this gentleman's time money and effort and waiting the resources of the city and county of san francisco and, in fact, accident benefit is minimum compared to the administrative active and financial burden so if we can find, you know, a supervisor to help us this is another clean up
7:38 pm
the code sort of thing >> yeah. i have two of them a cat scanner you have it on you are phone what you have on your phone takes away what those people do. >> and the basis of the scare. >> your admitting you're not paying a license fee. >> he's not charging anyone but the process of square we use it in our retail shop when we got the fairs we create a retailer a look up the square you put you basically have a database and create the items and take our square transaction. in fact, the square has nothing to do with it the fact my phone has a product database it has a de facto point of sale >> or your ipod.
7:39 pm
>> it's slid if i had i can transact that by punching in the credit card number. so this is kind of absorb we should find a way to refine the model to refine the consumer protection we're doing f it in a woo that's not burdening our department of health and weigh and measures >> i support them. >> i do too. >> and also back to our flower mart let's enlist supervisor kim with that because that is putting a lot of people out of business as commissioner said 45 hundred. >> thousand. >> the design center thing perhaps provides some model and
