but there still needs to be some clarification -- >> clarification when they have multiple locations primary versus -- >> right and then i don't know -- i mean there might be some other elements that i think have been brought up that fall sort of in that broader umbrella of you know things like duplicate background checks and things of that sort that we can take a look at. >> i think that that motion you know expresses our desire to help move this forward even beyond the current legislation. >> all right so we have a motion before us. is there a second? >> second. motion by commissioner tour-sarkissian and seconded by commissioner dooley. shall we do a role call? >> yes. >> commissioner dwight? >> yes. >> commissioner dooley?

>> yes. >> commissioner tour-sarkissian. >> yes. >> commissioner white? >> yes. >> all right that motion passes 4 to zero and we have a quorum and thank you commissioners. >> lastly, if i could put it out there -- you know, we're certainly willing and enthusiastic to help your community understand the amnesty provision and you know i think that given that the office of small business is here to help people work through the process, we'll spend sometime to kind of unravel this and try to make sense of it for your community and we'll work hopefully with you all with your assistance so that brian here can help with any analysis that's necessary. >> okay. sorry? a

question? >> it's generally no but it is to your prerogative i mean note -- >> can i get in trouble? can i lose my presidency? >> technically it is out of order. >> okay. >> unless you do it specifically -- invite somebody up. >> can i specifically invite somebody up? i can. okay i'd like to specifically invite you to come up and say what you have to say real quickly. >> thank you. are we allowed to volunteer to help you do the amnesty program and explain it to our people? >> yeah, sure. >> okay we'll have volunteers to help you. >> okay. thank you. >> okay. i think that concludes these two items.

thank you all very much for coming out tonight. very much appreciate it. and to be continued. all right. let's move onto the next item. >> all right. item number 7. discussion and possible action to make recommendations to the board of supervisors on bos file number 150462 the public works code waiver of street space fee for small business week sidewalk sales. >> commissioners, so this is the annual sidewalk sale fee waiver that we support. >> yep. >> so just as a matter of pro forma putting it before the commission and i've highlighted for you we're doing it over 2 we 2 weekends -- mother's day weekend and may 23rd which is memorial day weekend so different districts had desires to do it in

different weekends and some districts are doing it both weekends and i did get the supervisor of that district's support to support the two weekends so anyway? >> we've had mother's day. >> oh wait mother's day was last week sorry. >> so memorial day and father's day. >> so saturday may 16th and then the 233rd and i have the different districts participating. >> do we have a motion? >> we need to take public comment. >> do we have public comment on this item?

seeing none public comment is closed. do we have a motion or any discussion before the motion? >> i move. >> i second. >> okay. so commissioner dooley motioned and commissioner white seconded and role call? >> commissioner dooley. >> yes. >> commissioner dwight. >> yes. >> commissioner tour-sarkissian. >> yes. . >> commissioner white. >> yes. >> thank you very much. item number 8 is the director's report. >> all right commissioners first i just want to say welcome to brian pool -- [applause] yeah i wanted him to give just a quick, you know introduction about himself. >> great thank you regina. >> i've been with the city and county of san francisco for the past couple of years as a manager in property tax with the tax collect or and prior to have for 8

for 8 for 8 to 9 years worked with a title company and one of my accomplishments there directly relatable to this is i established amen tore program to help them get started and the program is very successful and something that i was very proud of and i'm happy to be here tonight with all of you. >> welcome. >> delighted to have you. >> okay. all right. just want to remind everybody next week is small business week and would you like for us to to do calendar invites for the different activities? >> yes. >> that are before us and so we do have flavors for the kick off. we have the boards and wednesday night is the vip reception and then friday is the all-day conversation day conference and there's a couple of other activities happening throughout that

week and i'll make sure we get meeting invites and you had the calendar of activities ahead of time so and just really excited, you know, to have a really great great week again this year. in your packet is our quart ly dashboard for january through march and so just wanted to provide you with our client services numbers so total over previous year 2014 we're down 9 percent some of this has to do obviously with staffing and we did have to close the office in february for a couple of days due to vacation schedules but we are now working and staffed up so that should change. we've provided a list of our borrowers that

we worked with this past quarter and i won't go into great detail. in your binder last meeting and i forgot to note this but two dates since the office has become a trust ye we've done 8 loans for a total of 83 $83,000 worth of lending to the small businesses and so very proud of that and want to highlight some of our trends that we see in -- at at the at the counter is food and beverage obviously and manufacturing and sales continues you know to be a trend and certain interesting items such as such as -- bill bill tong a type of south african

jerky and beer and alcohol production is a great interest and technology business continues to be a good business and then children's play and activity centers including workshop rooms art studios and indoor playgrounds tend to be interesting things that we're seeing and the next page we've highlighted out our clients by industry and percentages and a couple of interesting -- i asked the counselors to pull out some interesting cases that are a little unusual or kind of very san francisco and the first one was a woman is a pilot and she wants to utilize drones to help her husband's business in doing soil engineering so and she wants to be based in san francisco even though likely the drones

would be not in san francisco not much soil engineering i mean the kind of soil engineering she wants to do with drones and that's interesting and of course we have a mission native who came to our office because he has sort of developed a -- he worked on some bean ies with the logo system the logo sam sam and he wanted to know how to trade mark his name and get the business going and develop it as a product so then there is -- jane went over the business portal information for you so i won't repeat that and you have that here in terms of the first quarter of 2015 some accomplishments for the office and a couple of elements with the legacy business registry program

commissioner adams talked about a meeting he was part of with dr. hudson and dr. lescent-giles and lisa paul, an attorney who does mostly residential condo conversions and also worked on the commercial side, doing some discussion what's involved taking a look at this so that we can -- so that the staff can start putting together this information to put it in front of you -- what would be involved and i think from that meeting we did really, you know, our next step is to really kind of work with the small property owners and the real estate industry to kindly of discuss and take a look at well, if we really pushed this kind of program, could it have some other kinds of impact to the real estate market that we may not necessarily think of -- what's the

cause and effect and also for the small property owners -- who would be an incentive for them to subdivide -- you know, do a vertical subdivision and retain the residential portion and be willing to sell off the commercial portion -- so those are some things to take a look at and then i also did have a meeting with sf heritage the historical preservation staff and tim fry and sf travel again doing some exploratory discussions around criteria and also how can we work to work together to sort of leverage what will then be when we establish a legacy business registry how did we leverage it from all 3 entities's perspectives and now that brian is here

i'll have the bandwidth to start focusing on that and developing the materials to put in front of you. and then i also -- in response to you know the work that supervisor tang has done around the massage and understanding just the difficulties that businesses go through, she has called for a hearing -- it was specifically with dbi and with planning to ask them about you know, what they can do they can do to improve the process not just with this particular industry but what can they do to improve the process so the hearing date has not been scheduled yet but i will let you know when it is so you know just note her continued interest but just because she's working on the legislation gets it passed but she's not you know -- she's continuing moving on wanting to ensure that things improve

around the permitting process. so i think those are start of the most significant things to bring to your attention and with that if you have any questions? >> is the meeting about the cu system how to simplify it for supervisor tang or -- >> it's more than just the cu because with dbi -- so with dbi there's you know recently a small solo practitioner shared her experience of getting her business her business open and so you know this is somebody -- they are opening in in a 291 square foot place and putting paint on the wall and not doing anything else yet but yet we're asking them for architectural drawings so there's a lot of little nuances that have room

room for improvement. >> all right. thank you. >> shall we move onto the next item. >> yes. item number 9 the president's report. >> i don't have anything to report except that last week i attended two events and they were very successful and that continues to be a great initiative here in the city and of course next week small business week i encourage everyone to participate as much as they can and straus events has done a fantastic job of organizing it as always that's all i have. >> the the vice president's report? >> nothing to report. >> item 11, commissioner reports? >> no? >> item 12 new business. >> nothing for tonight. >> then so item number 13 is adjournment. >> mr. dwight motion to

adjourn do we have a second? >> mr. white seconded it. all in favor. it is 7: 14. >> thank you. >>.
