presentation. it is a complicated field and you made it quite clear and thank you for the 101 presentation. >> thank you >> this discussion was for the city option only? >> that is correct, >> it doesn't increase the contribution-it is readjusting the budge squt redirecting your efforts in managing. >> that is right >> the employee wellness fund is also limit ed to the city option >> what i didn't say is that we are planning to convene a group to look at what the employee wellness fund would look like. we wanted to address the a ffordability of helt insurance and know employee wellness is another component we want today address so we plan to convene a group in 2016 that will determine the parameters of the program. now we think it is probably employers who

contribute to the city option, what they reinburse for and the elg lt requirements and how much they are eligible for reinbursement for, those are to be discussed in the work group. >> commissioners any other comments or question? >> thank you for this. it helped me wrap my head around it a lot better and i think you did a very good job in your presentation today . >> commissioner yee, riley, >> employers still have the option to contribute to the other options? >> yes, there was a change in federal law that made one of the options-change one of the options. helths reinbursement accounts is a option available under prior to the emp limitation of affordable care act and after implementation it

didn't meet affordable care act standards so the way to contribute to reinbursement account is for things like dental and vision and not heth care. that is still available and employers can comply that way but we see increase of compliance through city option. employers find it easier to contribute to city option given the new rules under the helt care silty ordinance >> any other comments. thank you very much. we'll open to public comment. seeing none public comment is closed. thank you very much >> thank you. >> thank you colleen. >> item 7 is discussion of update on state paid sick leave regulations, >> commissioner wanted to let you know, so the letter that

you approved to be submitted to [inaudible] is submitted and we are waiting for a response, but in the inrim the state passed changes to the law so thought we should take the opportunity to make sure that is highlighted. so, the eligibility requirement slightly change. i think the individual was somewhat eligible from day one, but now has to-there is a 30 day or more to be entitled to be paid their sick leave. other highlights, i won't read through everything but other highlights that are important to note is that there was a requirement where if the employee was-the employee left work and came back within 12 months especially for seasonal

works that may be a case and it required the employer to reinstate the paid sick leave owe adthe time the employee left and this is removing that requirement. it also has more clarity on exempt employees and change tooz the pay stub notification in that the employer no longer has to write out the amount the individual used but what is in their accrued or their bank as per the state law. and then the other element is there is

something about dealing with the accrual method. the second item allows employers option for accrual and so we will take a look at this-we haven't had the opportunity to take a look at this closely as it relates to the interpretation we had done previous. how that effects the 48 hour accrual if business goes by the straight accrual methwud the state. we will get back to you on that. so, i know the commission wanted a more charted out and so we are irk wg on that but wanted to wait and see what-we

knew there were changes happening at the state level and didn't anticipate for them to take place so quickly so we'll have that for you no later than the next meeting but hopefully sooner. i just wanted to bring that to your attention and we are waiting on [inaudible] for their response. >> it is interesting with that is san francisco we have our paid sick ordinance and everyone in the city knows how that works and everything. i hear outside of san francisco, a lot of small businesses have no idea this law is in effect. i was amazed talking to people in san mateo and sant aclara county, they had no idea and go on line and check and are like, oh my god. in a company like mine where i have employees in san francisco and outside san

francisco and la and other states, we have 4 different paid leave policies dependent on which city you work in. >> i think it does highlight the fact that the california employers association who helps decipher this and there are non profit entity, one thing they said is generally not until a employer gets to have 50 or more employees do they start to seek-they may bring in in house to help sort of manage all the employer rules and regulations, but generally seeking 3rd party assistance, businesses between 25-and 50 may start seeking

3rd party assistance. there are a number of businesses so for a non profit entity like california employers association which you can become a member, a lot of small businesses are not away a entity like them is there for as a resource for hr service s and help interpret the law. i think this speaks to the difficulty and speaks to why we need specific direction from [inaudible] for our smaller businesses. >> all right. thank you for that. any public comment on this item? no. stephen? okay. seeing none, we'll move to the next item >> item 8, discussion and action on legacy business action and project plan

>> commissioners i'm requesting that we continue this to the next commission meeting. there were items around non profits that i needed to get clarity on and so do not get that in time, so we'll continue this to the next meeting. >> i'll make the motion to continue to the next meeting >> second. >> second that >> all in favor. >> aye. it is continued. >> we need to call for public comment before we motion that? >> any public comment? seeing none public comment is closed. >> i motion we continue to the next meeting >> i second that. all in favor. >> item 8 is-sorry 9, directors report

>> so commissioners, 2 things i would like to highlight is on 716, the last commission meeting i said is coming up is the quarterly meeting the mayor has with small business leaders and want to thank commissioners and dwight and yee riley for attending and please add anything at this moment or during the commissioner reports. so a couple things i pulled out from the mayors budget, the 6.7 million that have been in his-that were highlighted in the press release as part of the budget that came from topics discussed at this meeting. one is construction mitigation fund, so in that will be primarily targeted i think to polk street, but to work to provide some mitigation efforts. it isn't necessarily direct

reimbursement to businesses but to do marketing promotion and better coordination of city agency working with the businesses to help mitigate the impacts for the work that is being done. there is continued investment with the business portal, so that we are going to work to bring more permitting on line, working towards the e signatures, working towards credit cards being taken for all permits. those are some focuses being worked on but continued to-on line business-new business registration. and then there is the small business accelerator team and in that is actually going to-is funded a full time position to be a case manager for restaurants to help restaurants as that is the most

complicated kind of permitting, licensing business entity for small businesses to get through the city so there will be a case manager probably will not start until the beginning of 2016 who will be there to work with all restaurants and help navigate them through the getting their business open, navigating with the different city agencies. i think this is a very critical and important position and from that the acceleration team does consist of liaisons from department of building inspection rks planning, dpi [inaudible] work force development, our office so that we get together and

take a look at issues, needs, what is transpired and have it as a learning process that we can carry forward and apply to all businesses that have to get their permits or get their business open. another is the bilocal initiative and commissioner dwight is also attending these meetings. so we will be working with other business organizations, the hotel council the golden gate rest jaunt business association, the couns oldistrict merchants, sf travel, sf chamber, to take a look at developing a partnership by local initiative. we'll still retain the mayors shop z dine in sf

loma is a organization but to develop a comprehensive bilocal b to c or b to e, which is business to employer. the biz connect will stay in tact as it is and continue to be worked on in partnership with the chamber to develop and expand on, but this is expanding on the traditional bilocal initiative and concept. commissioner dwight, is there anything you would like to add to that? >> no i think it is just we are really trying to keep sf biz connect on point as a business to business arrangement because there are a lot of other stuff that goes on for the other modes of local punching,

>> some of the idea is develop tool kits and messages businesses can take and adopt with customers or employees. are there sort of marketing tag lines so we all are utilizing if we are really talking a bilocal message to employees or consumers that if we work to have a consistent messaging tag line way to communicate it which each entity or organization doing it then it has a larger ripple effect and a larger voice and so--so, there are 2 meetings and there is another meeting next week and so we'll keep you posted to what is being developed. -as to what is being developed in

relationship to that. also, we did ask the business group to think about you know, the upcoming years and what are key topics of things for this group to work with the mayor on. so, some of the topics that came up again were just dealing with congestion, multiagency communication still is somewhat a issue and also for the sit a to work with the private entities to be more responsive around their congestion and work and notification. homelessness has been brought up a couple times and think may be a ongoing topic for especially for the city to report back on. departments

improving their response and turn around time for small businesses. so, those are some of thethis the business community exspessed wanting to focus on for the future. and then last week supervisor tang in response to the controllers report on restaurant permitting process helds a hearing to highlight what was in the report. there is a series of recommendations that the controllers office has made, so the supervisor tang asked departments to respond to that and asked them to do an inturnt assessment what they could do to improve their response turn around times and what resources they may need to be able to do that. she asked them to come back in 6 months to report on

that. also, i think where mentioned to the commission in that report it will be important this body to weigh in on the recommendations the controllers office had so i forwarded copies of the report. if you prefer a printed out copy sent to you please let brian know. we'll start drafting initial responses to the recommendations but by the first meeting in septi thipg it is good for the commission to submit forward to both the mayor, board of supervisor and controllers office an official response to those recommendations. and then some legislation that is going to come before you, again these are the first 3 of them are

issues--sorry, the first-the second and third were ones that had been discussed with the mayor, with the small business leaders but again working on improvement around neighborhood notification when work is transpiring. and a contractors parking plan, i think that we heard from many business areas especially i heard quite a bit from merchants in hayes valley where there is private and public work happening and it is going on for over a year with all the new development projects and they are taking up all the parking. these will be coming before you so please read through it. there may be additional recommendations the commission may want to provide and then the second one, the public right of way occupancy

fee, the mission creek merchants are in a flood zone so there are mitigations businesses would like to do to help prevent the flooding of their businesses. supervisor campos has very quickly it is a mitigation fee for doing work in the public right of way. >> wouldn't that be covered under federal law because if you're a commercial building in a flood zone you have mandatory flood insurance you have to take out, if you have a lean on that building which is supposed to cover the business and-- >> i think there are some-i think what-some of the businesses have been impacted year after year with the flooding and so i think this is trying to help them deal with a little more of a proactive step

especially if you have to go to the public right of way to prevent the flooding into the business, so i think supervisor campos is trying to- >> this is where? >> commission street, folsom [inaudible] >> i think this is dually important with the discussion of el nino and high amounts of rain coming up. you will also be-we are working to schedule the dates before the offices go-the board of supervisors go dark due it legislative recess which starts next week for a month. and to get these scheduled at least either in late august early sep. commissioner dooley you talked about the formula retail and

subsidiaries so that is now officially introduced and will be before you. just wanted to provide a update, so i heard from some of the massage establishments that had already gone through the permitting process, they got their dbi permit and planning permit sign off and the only thing they didn't have was the department of public health because at that time it was not required of them. so, reengaging i heard from a couple of them last week that the department are making them-dbi is making them regolow the process so i will dee exploration but there may be a opportunity for the commission to ask the departments to come back before them >> let's be sure we understand both sides of the story before we hear it.

>> for those that have gone through the permitting process where they have done their dbi work, these are the ones that i feel confident i know they have done that. >> once we get both sides if it is the case, we have to do something and talk about it. >> i-right. i thing there be a opportunity to work with the departments to say-they still may have to go to dbi to get conformation to make sure they have done everything appropriately and get it checked off, to me that makes sense. >> let's understand the circumstances. >> i'm just making you aware of that. update future meetings, we'll have sfmta, they are updateing and revising the

transit development impablth fee so they want to make sure-there has been several reiterations and how small businesses have-how it effected small businesses who have had to pay the transit impact fee, so they want to make sure that you are aprized of what they are planning and then commissioner dooley, you had wanted to get an update on the vaeckancy for xhrjs properties. we are trying to target for august 24 and then i just really want to express my appreciation to brian pool for really getting our meeting minutes done quickly, getting them out to you and getting the commission back into an orderly and timely manner of getting information to you and the work

done. >> in deed, it is great. you have been engaging proactively and i appreciate that >> you do a great job >> that conclude my report >> all right. we need public comment on your report? no. my report, i have nothing to report other than the fact i did attend both of the meetings that the dreblther talked about. the meet wg the mayor and the meeting regarding bilocal at the chamber of commerce with oewd tod rr [inaudible] was there. i'm troying to keep focus on the partnership between the chamber of comrbs and oewd to promote b to b purchasing. the first thing we are trying to get is a meet and greet to bring business together to talk about the buyer squz seller squz have a cocktail party if you will.

i think finding way tooz celebrate any successs because there a number of great examples we could be promoting of local businesses buying from local businesses. anyway, working on that actively. nothing else to report. on to the next n. >> item 11, vise president report >> nothing to report, however i do want to bring to your attention, i noticed the director put in your binder a mixer, the ba mixer at 1300 august 11. just wanted to bring that to your attention and that is it. >> item twechbl, commissioner reports. >> commissioners. commissioner ortiz >> it will be short president. >> times up >> last week i have been helping on the renaissance center entrepreneur center help with the [inaudible] program so i help several small business

on the [inaudible] see how we get small business to the next step. tackle projects that prevent them to get to the next step. pretty cool >> fantastic. anyone else? >> i just want to reiterate the jbba may contact you at 1300 fillmore sponsored by goog squl hope everyone can make it. i'm excited for that. >> commissioner yee, riley >> i attended the mayors quarterly meeting as well, so it was productive and organized and great. i also want approached by the hong kong economic office and they are very interest #d to foofind out more about the food truck business so i answered questions [inaudible] >> food trucks in hong kong? anyone else ? >> i met with oewd [inaudible]

and he is interested in being involved in the commercial vacancy discussion, thenoter business business association went liferb on our site with the updateed vaeckancy and he reviewed that and we would like to figure out a way to have other associations, other neighborhoods put their vacancies on line with oewd to reach out more and fill the vaeckancy squz put our heads together once again to talk about folks who choose not to rent at all. >> speaking of which, did [inaudible] get their permit? >> yes >> that is one less vaeckancy, i have a queshz in regards to that, did you guys go around to get the information yourself on the buildings? >> yes. block by block

>> there are 15 vacancies and only 8 are for rent. 7 are just not for rent and a number -maybe 5 or 6 look vacant but are being used as storage for adjacent businesses so they still are covered with paper and that. >> okay. commissioner adams >> we had a-in conjunction with economic and work force development we did a retail strategy for upper castro and market and one thing we did is a vacancy thing and we counted 21 and out of 21 there are 8 that are habitually vacant and we are doing the same thing you are doing, we want to put them on our new website we are currently working on now. i don't to shame them. we have the pateio cafy and i'll put it

out there live. that is sitting empty for 15 years. we had conditional use purblts for businessatize to go in that say yes but you have a owner for whatever reason and get that conditional use-we just had the burger place that got approved and all of a sudden it is not happening. it is one landlord who controls like 5 of the vacant spaces in the neighborhood and purposely keeps that vacant. >> why is that? what is the motivation? [inaudible] >> i talked to this landlord and said you know, what is in your head? he says it is my space, i own it and can do whatever i want with it. it is like-after a while you had a restaurant there, ham burga

mary. they come kwr present to castro murch squnts go to the neighborhood group jz everybody says yets, goes in front of planning and planning says yes, not happening. that is a big frustration. i applaud commissioner dooley when she sticks on that and i see it in your neighborhood and my neighborhood t is everywhere. you go to west portal and oceanarve new, it is the same buildsings sitting dark and vacfront a long time and after dealing with what i had to deal with, it doesn't help the neighborhood and attracts crime. i read about the homelessness, the homeless sit in front of these place jz this is what is attracting it. >> what are you seeking if i may ask? >> that is the things under california state law if it is

commercial building you can't make them do anything and local ordinance is tough because we talked about this in the past because state law and commercial supersedes xhrjs. there has to be something, shame them. i don't know. i'm glad you brought this up and something that is actually in a city right now where there are other businesses that do want to come in and it is hard to find them and the rent rate is high, there has to be something you can motivate these people >> we talked in the past about even having the city require just to put a notice in the window saying who owns the the--[inaudible] >> in oewd did that vacancy so you can go on line and look at it and we had the brokers all work together but that worked great for the vacancy where the

landlords wanted to get rid of their stuff but it doesn't help you when you have a landlord who just lets rust raunts sit vacant >> we have one that is empty since 1986. >> is the person still alive? >> if you go in the cast row the first thing everyone asks is what is up with the patio? you put your hands up and say, i don't know. >> okay. there is nothing we can do other than >> shame these people. >> i think when the last legislation passed obviously in terms of taxing means you is to go to the ballot and so then the likelihood of something like that passing is probably-- >> it is interesting

proposition. get a neighborhood voters to say we won't-don't want this, this is blight >> when we did a survey a number of years ago every neighborhood had at least 5. >> 24th street you had the empty grocery store there that used to be real foods. >> i just want-taxing is one method. the second is to attract nuisance that is the city attorneys office has done taken action for certain properties that attract nuisance, that is another way but these are extreme cases. some jurisdictions not necessarily in our state but in other states and nations do charge for and tax for vacant

properties that of course you need [inaudible] vacancy tax >> i think it is worth taking another look again and try again and see if we come up with something different. >> interesting. first the flip side of that if you go into a economic down turn you tax people who can't rent their places so how do you write that law so it is effective when there is demand and unwillingness to lease versing a time where there is more supply than demand >> i think in the last one there was considerations and a lot has to do with length of time, so-- >> there is clearly space out there that we have nob nab landlords who don't want to rent. do we have any other reports? okay. >> item 13, new business

>> any new business? we are done. okay, final item motion to adjourn. >> i move. >> all in favor? >> ay

we've been able to do in health care is like winner the world series like our community partners our friends here at san francisco general and the whole system has benefited from a really programs but the people that were committed in the programs not only to fulfill the goals we've stated but once those goals are stated to make sure that the mantra that everybody gets assess and that we will figure out eventually; right? i'm a great fan oracle to figure out a lot more things and interested on the topic that will be presented by dr. is both a challenge but we all know we must do better at the city government has an important goal to play in making

giants thing pam and others and all the friends that led that effort (clapping.) and be able to say this is also a name of priscilla and mark zuckerberg along with thousand of others donations to make that work that will have the state of the art machinery the things that the bond can't do but accomplishes what we need to get done to fill all the gaps ultimately on that day i'll praise everybody that works there that's why people go yes, it's the building yes. the machinery about it you don't have the people that number one thing to care for your health and have the attitude that is why request have a world-class center for the confidence for
