and county of san francisco should require it in their perspire orders for everything they buy they do it for social issues when there was problems with south africa and we don't buy from cities from the hardwood, etc. but when it comes to paying a nick you will e he will out from san francisco businesses they won't be buy if from us you guys should consider this legislation. >> thank you very much. >> any more speakers? seeing none, public comment is closed commissioners do we have any comments? commissioner riley >> i agree with one of the

speakers we should recommend to combine those two protections into one. >> okay commissioner ortiz-cartagena. >> thank you, everybody for coming and speaking and the spirit and the intentions i'm obviously supportive and understand the benefits to the workforce i have questions on the first ordinance as the commissioner riley had also i too would rather wait until the formula retail is defined and maybe get more input from small businesses your commission to protect small businesses and the intent and spirit of the ordinance i know it will help our community i want to share there's no unintended bad things to happen to small businesses as a result of this.

>> commissioner riley and yeah. i also think we should i want to see more flexibility for both the employer and employee i - if two employees want to shift change we can't do it here without pejt listing the employer. >> any more comments i personally want to see both of these combined into one ordinance i do understand the spirit and lord know i worked in small franchises when i went to college and sometimes, it was crazy so i get that, however, i would like to hold-off on this legislation until we define what

formula retail is and let that workout first and i would like to see those two pieces of legislation come together and i do know that there was outreach on a xhooufd and i understand there was not much outreach on the supervisor mar legislation so i want to see more outreach my recommendations to this commission would be to have those two pieces of legislation combined into one and wait until after the board of supervisors meets and defines what actually is formula retail so i'm going to motion that if anybody wants to second it. >> i'd like to. >> go ahead. >> mr. president, say that the

workers bill of rights is an important piece of legislation, however, it needs to be tweaked and in the best interest of the legislation it is a little bit premature that allows the business community the chamber of commerce a cough of weeks to work out and to bring in their suggestions so we have a better and solid legislation that would be sponsored by the small business contingent so mr. president, i urge you to make a motion. >> commissioner dwight. >> yeah. i'd like to echo that i think when we're making laws and provision is important especially important as an issue as important as this and perhaps

a long overdue issue but dealt with with precision a number of unknowns especially being the cart before the horse and creating a legislation that depends on another piece of legislation to to be determined so again, i think all of us agree that is important that it is a good objectives and prntdz are good but we need to see die temporary restraining orders process w that we do our duty. >> commissioners, i just want to also point out that staff is provided a list of a few items where those two ordinances don't line up with the family friendly ordinance and want to know if you want to make a

recommendation to also include that. >> 53 yes absolutely i'll make a recommendation to combine those and to wait until after what we've fined as formula retail is formula retail and make sure it goes along the guidelines with the family friendly ordinance because we were all involved. >> and to correct the unnonsense inconsistence i's. >> did he have a second. >> i second can i read that. >> commissioners you are motioning to hopefully, i have this correct to to the board of supervisors requested them to continue working with the business communities for another couple of weeks before passing this out of the budget and

finance committee on wednesday that a recommendation is to combine the ordinance wanted to make sure that the ordinance does not pass before the formula retail legislation passes to insure that the ordinance allows for the flexibility for both the employer and the employee that the inconsistent between the two ordinances line up were noted were noted line up with the family friendly ordinance and the fair chance ordinance. >> correct. >> and if there are anything else. >> that's it. >> all right. so this is our motion and that's been monoxide by commissioner president adams and seconded by

commissioner tour-sarkissian roll call >> commissioner president adams commissioner dooley commissioner dwight commissioner ortiz-cartagena p commissioner riley commissioner tour-sarkissian. >> that motion passes 5 to zero. >> great, thank you thank you all for coming out this evening. >> next item, please. >> item no. 7 is a presentation on small business saturday presentation on the schedule of activities and business areas participating and the work of the san francisco committee with american express to promote shopping small on november 27th
