there were a number of people from the bay area and it was good outreach also for dealing with the new business packet because there were people conducting business with the city but didn't know they had to be registered. it provided some good outreach for us in that respect. >> thank you. before we move on to the president's report i would like to take item no. 3 and forward that to our next meeting. i would like to move item no. 3 to october 27.th. >> i think we might have public comment to the directors report. >> okay. public comment on the director's report ? >> good evening. steven gornl. one of the best thing i have

heard is that the health department is going to move their inspectors to different days. i think that's a great idea since many retail businesses and many businesses now are open seven days 7 days a week. and that might be something that could be encouraged to other different departments in the city that might affect us. we are opening even banks, some banks now are open sundays. the government might be doing that also. i think that would be good. it's great that came up and it should keep going. >> great, thank you. any other public comment on the directors report? seeing none. public comment is closed. okay. i would like to make a motion to move item no. 3 to our meeting on the 27th. >> second. all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> any opposed? >> he couldn't make it. so he gets a pass for that.

next item, please. >> all right. commissioners, we are now on item no. 11, president's report. >> i just have one thing to report. i attended the merchants event at flora grub in the bayview. i have to tell you, i really, that's like an awesome place. i was surprised and how thriving that neighborhood was. all the little businesses around there. it was really cool. on behalf of the office of small business and it was a great event. so other than that i have nothing else. >> next item? >> item no. 12 is vice-president's report. >> nothing on that, other

than i'm glad you went to the event. thank you. >> next item. >> item no. 13, commissioner reports? >> commissioner riley? >> i attended the california business summit reception at the hotel. it was a great turnout. a lot of businesses were there and i met a lot of people that i know. it was a great event. >> any other commissioner comments? i also would like to report too that commissioner riley and i attended the asia inc. event on friday night which helps a lot of small businesses. okay. next item. >> item no. 14, is general public comment. >> do we have any members of the public who would like to make comment on future items for our meetings?

>> hi, again. steven cornell. i had a talk and one of the things that have come up and i represent polk street and it's seemingly on the b rshst and seemingly on northeast mission merchants areas, they don't have any studies of economic impact on what they are going to do. i think that's something that this commission might want to look into. they have environmental impact, it's required. i think they have one other study they have to do, but the idea that they don't have to do any economic impact on what's going to happen to the neighborhood, the businesses are out there, i think it's outrageous. it's something that we've brought up to them over time and their

answers, we don't to have do it so we are not going to do it. i would love to see that pursued by you guys and anything you can do to help. >> that's a very good good one. thank you. any other members of the public? seeing none, public comment is closed. next item is pleased. >> item no. 15 is new business. >> do we have any new business? >> yes, i actually would like to follow up with the director to invite the health department inspection to come in to tell us the reason behind the weekend inspection. i do understand over time but i don't know. i would like to hear the kind of impact study they have done in regard to what that means to the restaurant industry for the city since we know that's the largest part. as well as the hcso reporting requirements. i would like to invite them

back to get an update on that as well. >> that's a good one. it's been a year. >> i would maybe follow up and put it up on the calendar to get something going with mta about the concerns. >> yeah. that's a good one. >> well, since we are inviting the health department do we need more information or update on the affordable care? >> yeah, that's what she was just saying. >> so for the hcso, i can invite both olse and the department of public health? >> okay. good. any other items? usually it's nothing. we have a lot today. next item. >> all right. item no. 15 is adjournment. >> do we have a motion to adjourn?
