legislation the last year the land use and economic development was asked to consider amendments that insure that gas station boardrooms can be unany not only more male and female this as enabled the gas stations to maximize their space and cost savings at that time we considered actually making those amendment that i'll be talking with you today instead supervisor kim decided to go ahead and watt wait to talk about what the department of public health the existing law in the health code requires that galg gas station provide a clean and samaritans washroom for the use of patrons during the

business hours although the current law authorizes the department of public health to insure the compliance with the law there's not a denied mechanism by which to enforce is it after communication with the department of public health the supervisor is proposing to amend the law to permit the administrative fines for violations of the law it will authorize the director of health or his or her designee for the fines the tier system will be $500 for the first and up to one thousand dollars for a third violation also rectifying it should be easy to kinder there's a provision or flexibility that's given to operators that are

cited for other structural type of violation like plumbing or electrical wiring or you know other types of building kind of violations they have at least twenty-four hours to cure that violation or it will be up to the suppression of the inspectors in twenty-four hours proposed ordinance will also clarify the duty to make a bathroom available is it only when the service station is open, i.e., negotiations for patrons i'm available to answer any questions and i think richard can speak to sort of the inspection process commissioners may have had questions about what triggers on inspection. >> okay how do i define patron. >> well, actually we don't the current law ticht the department of public health the health code

itself actually has no less than 10 different references to patrons that are undefined in the code there is actually, only one spot that has a more specific definition of patron that is in article 20 of the health code which provides a definition of the term patron as a person that enters a business with the intent as a spokespersoner or purchaser that's the only place in the health code that the patron is actively defined if you look it up the intent it is someone that activity purposes goods and services so if a business is pagan american people employee to receive money from a patron that is someone that would be a patron so - >> for example for a restaurant there is language

that speaks specifically to immediate consumption so the idea that it can't be someone that comes in to buy a stick of good morning at the current and uses the restroom you have to sit down and eat so you actually are pretty specific here ♪ legislation that it is people that purchase gasoline and put it directly into the motor vehicle so if i combine a convenience store with one way or another with my service station it is common as a patron as specified here someone that comes and buys a bag of chips >> i believe this to be in the jurisdictions of the inspectors that is addressing the violation maintaining of the definition of

patron as outlined in you know if we're going to go with merriam webb stores distribution someone that pays for goods and services if it is offend by the business if not offered they're not offering goods to purchase during business housed that's taken off the table that's my understanding of what the definition of a patron. >> i'll august the definition needs to be refined there are patrons noted provides water with restrooms i'm sure i don't think i'm required and my retail store is to provide a bathroom a restaurant i'm assuming i see signed to refuse service to people and post a sign the restroom is for patrons only so rather than leaving it up to the

experimentation of individual not and no legal means to determine that it feels like that should be specifically specified if we're going to pass a law. >> so just to clarify commissioner so we're not actually amending the existing definition of performance that is the law and consist with the public health code the - this is merely trying to clean up the legislation by the mechanism by the department may enforce you you know being in compliance with the existing law. >> we're going to inflict onerous fines $500 is expensive thursday offense rather than to have someone levi a $500 offense

what's going to happen you'll spend a lot of time and money disputing this so this is an because you are amending the legislation and some opportunity to address and what is nothing like that an obvious short coming of the existing legislation and relate to the business specific business entities you're trying to legislate to clean up some of the stuff so. >> uh-huh. >> there's a tremendous amount of ambiguity there's no ambiguity i'm saying fine that person didn't come to buy gasoline and put it in their car if they brought a gasoline

container give me two ounces of gasoline it didn't matter they're not putting it in their vehicle if that's the way you want to leave it maybe that's the best possible thing they're great i'm clear on what the businesses say but if you're intention is not that your lying a big gray area for i mean quite frankly let's make is it easier for the inspectors i don't want to go out a into the fold and enforce the laws of city and county of san francisco if i don't know what i'm enclosing. >> it might not a good time to ask the director of the environmental health what the process looks like i think this is far let's complicated and far lessen reduce this is based on the conversation with dpw but maybe he can help to address some of the concerned. >> great i see we'll have

public comment as well. >> hi richard lee acting director the environmental health the way we'll do it if we got a compliment to go through 311 or a couple of ways the compliment will be you know, i went to this gas station and i wasn't able to use the bathroom so we got it complaint we'll send occult an inspector sometimes assuming at night time and have to schedule that we don't have inspectors night lifely once in a while they'll purchase something maybe gasoline or not and they'll say can i use the bathroom and if the person that's the cashier or someone said no. you can't

we'll go back and site them saying they're in violation and give them a warning the first time and say we document that that and if we got another compliment maybe we go back in a couple of weeks or a month and get the same thing to say that you can't use the bathroom we'll site them for the first violation the $500. >> so i'm sorry, sir my brarmdz are for people buying chips. >> i don't have anything f between gasoline or chips if i bought chips i'll consider myself a patron there's no reference to chips in the legislation but a specific recommendation to gasoline so

i'm not going to let you in mire bathroom whites the elevation because this is an administrative regulation this is an means for a appeal and an administrative law judge so. >> it it will take a precedent case to aid this issue if this is an issue and maybe i'm- i'm not trying to be a pain point butt but make sure we pass good law i'm a small business owner i see this i have a service station in a particularly troublesome area and isn't it a fact my services states room is used for prostitution and i'm constantly cleaning the bathrooms and my patrons are

disgusted i can't sell glancing gasoline and clean my restrooms all day long i'm going to shut this thing i can't run a business i can't afford to hire a numerator custodian but if i know that people will pay for gasoline and not intelligent and hopefully they're not doing drugs do them in their car i'm in an awkward position as as small business owner and since my job to be an advocate for small business the only reason i'm asking the question and as a volunteer to make sure that the city of chicago pass good laws to seems logical to address those issues we've had a mock argument you come up to my window and bought chips effectively trapping the end of the situation and i'm explaining

to you why i'm not going to let you and you say you're going to fine me anyway and appeal to a higher power. >> that is something we can get done i don't see specifically it says the patron is only buying gas it only says describes what the service station is but not the definition of a patron but the service station as for specifically so it didn't begin the service station as a convenience store i'm pretty certain not a law on the books referring convenience stores to provide bathrooms so not a requirement for walgreens if in their not selling someone something in the store a corner store my local liquor
