eyes people walked in there what were they doing in there they used the bathroom and it is gone not there canned we provide those things and i think supervisor jane kim did a great thing putting bathrooms our own the tenderloin there should be one not there it's the truth instead of going out and sending people to the chevron oh, just go to the chevron station hair open twenty-four hours this is unfair thank you. >> i'm sally johnson i think that seeing i had the idea that because that legislation has
10:01 am
never has nothing to do with with opening up the bathrooms and the only thing i see you're getting rid of and trying to charge everybody trying to go to the bathroom they get in 19986 when i first came here to san francisco and i think this is y where a lot of the problems with drugs and stuff because people are not been able to go to the bathroom and opening up that garage is for you know where they usually work on cars and stuff it is a good idea for letting the public use the bathroom and possible the gas stations too you know because - i think this is y where our drugs and alcohol and everything
10:02 am
is involved hadn't been mentioned by the legislation but i feel legislation there's no quality or grace any rules you've got you know stars here that there's no means of the support what anybody can besides nothing around here in san francisco no way it is you know also this is and people on the street and i never know what the heck is going on and you have to learn what that library or something like that and still the library doesn't provide the right kind of information you need and that is where our problem is with alcohol and drugs we have to stop this with facts with the legislation because i made a mistake and
10:03 am
went down to the police department and didn't return that money because the money wasn't not given to me they wouldn't give me that money they wanted me to steal it i mind of said i'm gonna steel it i think that i oppose this legislation thank you. >> thank you. >> is there any additional public comment. >> all right. seeing none commissioners any questions or comments. >> all right. well this is an action item do we have a motion. >> from anyone here. >> laughter who wants to jmg on this gesture invade first. >> i'd like to make a comment before a motion (laughter). >> my radar screen the comment
10:04 am
the definition avenue patron when i think about it has a flaw of we were to clarify it we have a proton a business shudz it's convenience store then it has to still keep the room open which is an undue you know heavy burden in light of what we've heard neighborhoods you can't do that so i see a major flaw with this legislation and i take the leap and is a i propose we don't support this legislation even with the change of the definition or clarification so that's my
10:05 am
motion. >> so thank you but before we second that oh. >> so we have more director. >> so a couple of thoughts you can do you know take an action to support or not support or take an action to maybe not take final action but direct the supervisor department of public health to work with the gas station owners to maybe come up with first some sort of i mean, you can't say that one, the city has not demonstrated the proof to apply the necessary needs to apply administrative penalties and finances there is beginning data to say there's a need but
10:06 am
one the other things to work with the business owners who this effects to come up with a definition and some guidelines so that the enforcement can be done in every simple manner or a more specific manner or so that even the department have more specific was there is direction to go here anyway. >> i just to clarify my motion is that as drafted we shouldn't support we shouldn't support it now, of course, if the i think the gas station owners in the industry should be in touch and come up with a plan that is workable i don't see it workable at this time so that's on that basis i make the motion. >> yes. thank you
10:07 am
okay. i have some comments but commissioner ortiz-cartagena. >> i want to first supervisors office commissioner sims i i supervisor jane kim's i know the intent i know in no would you say she trying to effect small businesses but to have a win-win nice and healthy district i know that and i know we kind of beat you guys up but we know that kim's heart is in the right place i want to put that out there and another simple technical question if a gas station has their bathroom out of order will they be fined or criteria on that like if there's an inspection. >> for the to ask saw some references in the legislation whether the bathroom is out of order for repair.
10:08 am
>> right. >> it might be good for us for the record as the department department. >> right here where the plumbing or other structures that create immediate injury will be given time to correct the the problem with no administrative final side. >> before we move on with the motion or modify this motion in general this legislation inherits some brother-in-law but from tonight what i sort of mystified i've not heard whether there is indeed a problem i've haven't heard outreach to the community which is effected the business owners and haven't heard whether the fin structure
10:09 am
has justification or rational i have not heard any sort of assessment of the unintended consequences as the legislation was handled so i think that the flaws some of the flaws are inherited and some flaws are part of the new additions to the legislation and i think that when we have an opportunity to address a piece of legislation we should tale with is it in its entirety i feel we're not there yet we can make specific recommends as part of the motion go that the supervisors office consider those and if someone wants to amend the motion or otherwise second it as stated but we can't support is it as
10:10 am
present. >> family it has to be worked on i think that there are improvements but again i building that as present to united states tonight it presents some problems even equal rights we've tabbed convenience stores having to open doors versus others not to have to open doors i mean it presents major flaws that can be worked on it needs some thought process needed more work. >> and so to that extent as drafted not support it. >> thank you, commissioners you can i think what may be helpful go with a motion not to support as drafted and then commissioner
10:11 am
dwight you've articulated some of the reasons why is i think that helps the supervisor and the other board of supervisors or the other supervisors and the department to then get kind of a list as to why. >> yeah. to the extent this is destined to facilitate enforcement it is a glaring flaw and this is it is difficult to enforce something not well-defined we've identified several issues this require a definition in the spirit of this to enforce this and provide a means for enforcement that the legislative it is vitality important to get comments outside of this room from the constituents effected by that o requesting
10:12 am
access to bathrooms as well as those providing the bathrooms to service no public comment from those there's a problem but very good comments suggesting this legislation is onerous for the business communities so constituents in the spirit of that rather than proposing to redraft the legislation tonight i think that we can add the specific items we've identified as points of opportunity for improvement. >> yeah. i mean he could say we didn't support of legislation and invite changes outreach is a must i'm not a gas station owner more - so i don't know what the difficulties of operating so
10:13 am
this contact can help to refine the owners and restricted and heavy requirements quoted it is a strict liability and should think exceptions our pointing talked about the definition of patron this is also a point that needs to be looked at so that is what comes to mind we've brought up issues about the you know the subsection d and maybe that needs to be also amended or looked at so overall taken those comments take into account maybe the represents we should not support
10:14 am
it but treason the changes and hopefully, we'll have the opportunity to hear you again to hear this legislation or the changes and you know kind of bring our contribution the bottom line to have a workable law that is not so bayshore burdensome it seems like we have heavy enforcement but it is very difficult to complement it for a business to do it didn't fit the fully the purpose. >> so how about if we amend the motion to not support as presented and propose to the supervisor that the supervisor convene a meeting of stakeholders to discuss the
10:15 am
issues we've identified specifically being those that we have and we can read them out for bryan if we need to and leave it at that they get dealt with in the meeting of osmosis effected by it i think that if that's not been done this is essential so - >> i think that is constructive proposition to invite improvement and communication i support this to my proposition saw so the periodic items to be addressed in that meeting convened of stakeholders is there a problem? if so what is it what are the unintended consequences of the proposed legislation? where this will by the de facto
10:16 am
address the outreach are there liability issues for the burning? what's the dolphin of patron? and then what the rationale behind the fee structure if i'm understanding that's the list >> i think commissioner tour-sarkissian you wanted to deal with the subsection d. >> in arithmetic to the other issues and and subsection d what is it specifically. >> regarding the fire department. >> yeah. and the notion is the fire department that is - and i mean it is kind of out of it didn't fit the rest of the - and so that's you roughly 10 items or so specifically and would be of anticipation other issues will be brought to the table as
10:17 am
constituents are noticed in advance and allowed to prepare that's the motion anyone want to second. >> i'll second. >> commissioner white. >> commissioner dwight. >> commissioner ortiz-cartagena. >> commissioner l. riley commissioner tour-sarkissian and commissioner white. >> 6, 0. >> all right. thank you sunny >> thank you both for coming out and thank you, paul for coming out foyer public comment it is essential and we welcome it and are grateful you're here for it thank you. >> shall we move on item 8. >> item 8 if we can make fast
10:18 am
work it is approval the draft minutes for may 11 any changes to those notes. >> director. >> oh excuse me. i have some. >> okay. >> are there any changes to the minutes a motion to approve the minutes. >> i make a motion to approve the minutes. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> >> done. >> all right. item number 9 director's report. >> (laughter). >> so i wanted to give you information that brighten and i have skeleton meetings with the port during this week with the board of supervisors to start getting their information on the legacy business so we'll have that for you and also wanted to stent my great appreciation to all of you who every single
