the workload which needed isi inspection and actually an a fund was added that also required some inspections. that added to the costs for the cmo contract. cmo contract had additional spending basically broken down in three areas, the isi code inspection, which is the major one, then other essential work that has been requested of turner such as an additional set of eyes and ears during the second shift, waterproofing quality assurance and partnering and then also, which will come up as well is when the contract is amended, recommended for an additional two years through 2018 there would be those extra two years that also will be a source of additional spending by the cmo so at this time i recommend to

amend the professional services agreement with the cmo for the 11.2 million dollars as an interim basis to cover the fiscal year so there's uninterrupted services from the cmo to cover source inspections and increasing their contract total to 57.18 million dollars. if there's any questions? >> so the contract currently goes through 16? >> it goes through the end of june of 2016 so this is an amendment only for dollars, not time yet. >> and the amendment is happening because we don't foresee having enough funds now? >> the current contract, the contract halves back in july, that was only financing through the end of september. that was at the time was assuming we would have a budget at the time. now the budget process has modified since then actually proposing to go through amending their contract for the whole fiscal year at this point, which can be covered by other soft costs.

>> one. questions i asked steve, this is always modified contract as a fixed fee contract that has gone from 38 million to 45 million last july, now proposed to 57 million and we're being forewarned that it will soon go to 72 million. what's fixed about that? >> the source inspection is the important one that, that is basically, it's time and material. the fixed fee is what we've covered up to a certain point, but it does change based on the workload that's been required of the cmo with the changes that's required for code and for contract for the cmo's subcontractor isa to cover. so the fixed fee is just what has been covered at that point. but it does change

as we increase it. >> so when the staff report says that it is estimated that the current fixed fee amount will be expended approximately by the end of september, 2015, are they talking about the 45.9 that we did in july or are you talking about the 57.1? >> that would be the approved current under amendment 2 would be exhausted by the end of september. so we need to add the additional 11.8 million ?oo ?roo so that takes us to june 2016. >> that takes up to contract time at this point. at that time we would anticipate coming back in june up to the 72.7 million dollars and the addition of two years of time through june of 2018. >> so the 72.7 takes us

through what, the end of the current term? when that comes? >> it would be through june of 2018, basically the year of construction and the required support from turner. >> i mean i'm going to vote against this just because i think there needs to be more back-up. there's not much back-up in terms of this thin and we have lots more coming in. i suppose i could vote for it and just say when the 72 comes to do that, but that's not for another year that we're going to see that, right? >> as part of the back-up, actually, and it's referenced in the staff report that to refer back to the previous staff report amendment 2 goes through a very strong back-up to where specifically isi's duration is in lieu of

repeating about two to three pages of the isi support, which that's the majority of the dollars that are in this change. i just referenced it in the amendment 3 staff report to go back to amendment 2. >> it's just big jumps for just that one change. really big jumps. you are talking 38 million to 57 million, that change for isi >> the entire cmo contract, fortunately we have hit a peak. last month was probably our peak at 1.6 million. all the fabricators such as oregon iron works is now off-line. herrick stockton is now off-line. so the substantial amount, we're past the hump on the isi inspection at this point and

that's why you see a large jump now but the burn rate is going to dramatically reduce after the first of the year. >> you absolutely need an inspection service for a project of this side and magnitude. it would be irresponsible not to have these inspectors. >> oh, i agree with that. i'm just talking about the proportion that changes as compared to the original contract. turner has a lot to do. that wasn't the only thing and it seems like this has been latched on in a way that i don't know, it may be justified, maybe not, but it would be good to at least when we see something like this in the future to get some real numerical documentation as to what those hours were and how it works. otherwise let's stop calling it a fixed fee contract because it's anything but. >> did you want to say anything, steve? you want to come to the microphone.

>> i think the fixed fee contract is actually a misnomer. these are change orders to a fixed fee contract. it happens. it happens on the construction side as well as the oversight side. we have probably in addition to increased construction costs, the original budget or fixed fee of 38.5 had 8 million dollars for special inspection. we are now projecting through the full 8 year run that special inspections will top out at about 26, i think. don't quote me on that. but through the end of 2016 it's close to 23 or 24, so three times an increase in that. but in addition to that we've added 5 fte's over the last 3 or 4 years. the original budget did not contemplate second and third shift

superintendents. it did not contemplate a full-time claims manager. it did not contemplate a full-time change manager. each of those have been requested as a result of the increase in the volume of the workload. that's the increase. it's a change order, it's additional scope that was added that we were requested to perform at the request of the tjpa, so it's not saying -- it is a fixed fee contract when you establish that fee, but there's change orders to fixed fee contracts. i don't know if that helps. >> it does, it's just that -- i mean there's risk the contractor undertakes as well. >> yes. >> and when something is this big it would be very nice if our legal department or somebody said, here's the risk analysis and this is why they didn't assume the risk and you did, or we did. because i just, when you see numbers like this, it's just -- mainly the thing i want to do is say,

well, what risk did they bear? just assume that the tjpa bears all the risk of any possible change in the wind whatsoever and i just don't know, i haven't seen the analysis but they are big numbers. >> in a professional services agreement that's the type of risk that the client, the owner, typically takes. we can outline a scope of work but it's very difficult to define the exact number of hours that are going to be applied to that exact scope of work and then when the scope of work changes there are more hours applied to that changed scope of work. >> so really it's not a fixed fee contract from the beginning. it's really time and materials from the beginning. >> yes, with a guaranteed maximum price at the time pending change orders, very similar to a gmp --. >> can't get a cap out of web core, maybe somewhere we can begin to get some caps out of these things. going up and saying you're going to be 60, wait a minute you're going to

be 72 before you know it. >> 72 is the projection through 8 years is the two added years. >> you going to cap it there? >> are you asking me for a guaranteed maximum price? >> i don't know but i'm saying at some point people need to say -- we're coming to an end. >> given the scope we are seeing for the remaining whatever that is, three years, yes. the point is that i'm asked to do additional scope. if we -- i mean and that, as we talked about gmp opportunities, changes are above the gmp, right? so changes guaranteing a scope for professional scope.

>> is this typical that you see on large jobs that the contractor does? >> i would somewhat echo what steve says. if we ask in a professional services contract for additional scope we're going to expect to have to pay additionally. we have had building projects where we end up doing more inspection where we an advertise paitdd, that usually is a cost for -- it's hard to compare. we don't usually do a general construction management oversight contract like this on our contracts but if you agree to a scope and a fixed fee and the fees often kind of applies to the amount of profit and i think in the last expansion turner might have even agreed to a smaller profit, but if you ask them to do more scope you have to compensate them. >> is it because we tend to do construction management in house? is that why we don't

normally have the contracts on other city projects? >> typically for smaller projects we do the oversight, we do it with our own employees. >> so certain types of inspection services like the steel inspection we also would contract. >> but i also think there might have been oversight in terms of what the needs are, the inspection needs, so that's why we see the escalation. >> i assume it's related in large part to what was part of the conclusion of the cost and risk analysis report that we got, which is that, you know, with inaccurate engineer estimates early on and really optimistic production rates that we then also had a smaller sense of what the construction management oversight services would look like. is that based on earliest -- early estimates that were optimistic and not

realistic in terms of what the scope of this project would be? >> the assumption at the very beginning of the cmo contract with steel was thinking there would be two facilities, one shift and that's the kind of assumptions that were built into the original budget. and then as we actually got the design of the steel was actually come to fruition, it went out to and we got a contractor on board then we were able to see the full bredth of what the amount of fabrication that they were going to be doing. >> often involved more sites and more shifts than we had estimates. >> in the original estimate. >> i think this is yet another outfall of the delay in getting the design complete. perhaps the complexity of the design which is now compressed our production and construction schedule. we've been holding that 2017 date while we've had many, many delays on the design

side and so when you squeeze it down into a tighter window it's more facilities, it's second and third shifts and that's what we're now paying for. just another of many compounding increases hitting the market at a higher time, compressing the schedule, the complexity of design that are driving up the costs of this program, i think. >> do we have any member s of the public? >> no members of the public want to address you on this item. >> i will move approval. >> i have a question. what happens if we don't approve it today? do you have enough to carry a month or what is --. >> if we don't approve this today the cmo will pretty much have to stop work at the end of september, which essentially stops all inspections on welding, which stops the

project. >> there's not a stop work period that we have to go through there before that happens? >> there would probably be an additional cost because of that. that would not be helpful. >> notice. >> if i can just comment, the scope sounds, it's reasonable. it explains what it is by using -- i think we're in a position where we can't not approve it, but i think there is valuable comment in that it is a big increase and so i think for the staff i think there needs to be a substantial attachment that explains the justification for the large increase beyond a general descriptor in the staff report. i really do think that's necessary because it's a big leap and the general story makes sense, the scope makes

sense, i'm not questioning what work is to be done but i think for our records and to justify our action i think for future board items we do need a substantial attachment. >> so i definitely will add back everything when we do come for amendment 4 everything that was in amendment 2 so it's all in the same package. >> is there a second to my motion to approve? >> second. >> call roll. >> first and second and director riskin, aye. lee, aye. director riskin, chair harper, 5 ayes and item 16 is approved. >> 17, authorizing the executive director to sign and execute the block 5 easement graepltd and declaration of covenants and the agreement retemporary license for use of parcel m3 in substantially the

form as provided in the block 5 owner participation disposition and development agreement, ma west, the developer of the tjpa's block 5 property. >> bill white will report on this item. >> good morning, directors, bill white. i worked with tjpa staff on the negotiations between ocii and ma west, the developer on block 5, the dda, the disposition and development agreement. that included two agreements that were needed between tjpa and the developer, the easement agreement and the license agreement which are before you today. these have to be executed by the tjpa before the parties can close on the sale of block 5, which is, which would bring $172 million

to the tjpa for transit center construction. just by way of a little bit of background here, if you are not familiar with transpay block 5, it's on your screen. it's a little bit of an unusually configured parcel, in general it's the block between beal street and main street and then between mission and howard. as you can see, however, it's bisected by a private property called 201 mission street that's actually where the tjpa has its offices. the portion that is to be sold to the developer is actually the portion in the bottom left corner marked the teller parcel. back in april of last year, ocii put out an rfp soliciting s for block 5. the

winning bid came in, the d.b.a. provides for a 43 story office tower but it also requires open space to be provided, 15,000 square feet of open space, and it also requires the developer to make certain improvements to the future natoma street, which is also shown in the milds left on the diagram. those properties are to be retained by the tjpa for various reasons, and so in order to give the developer access to those properties and to be able to provide the open space and to do the streetscape improvements the agreements before you are necessary. tjpa is actually currently using those properties for

construction staging. there's trailers on the properties today and in the future if and when the tjpa moves forward with the train box expansion, which would be right in the middle of that block, it's going to need the open space properties and the natoma street property for construction staging as well. so it was important that the tjpa maintain control over those properties so the result was an easement agreement by which the developer would have certain easement rights to build the open space and to allow the public to come on to the property, but subject to the tjpa's right to, for one, stay on the property now until the transit center is complete and then also to suspend the easements at such time that the tjpa will need the property to build the train box extension.

and so i can, i think the agreements are summarized in your staff report and i think were provided in full in your terms. i'm happy to go over some of the details of the agreements if you'd like or if you have questions i'm happy to answer any questions. but the closing on block 5 is scheduled at this point to happen september 23, so -- and as i said these agreements must be executed prior to that time for the sale to close. >> who maintains the easements? >> the developer will have sole maintenance responsibilities during the time, of course, of the open space where the streetscape construction. obviously that's just back to tjpa during staging, any staging period.

>> okay, comments, whatever? any questions? >> you have one member -- two -- scott roland and looks like mr. patrick is following him. >> thank you, first of all i want to make my position very clear. i fully understand the significance of 175.5 million dollars. this was precisely earlier why i suggested you go for a line of credit for half a billion, not 300 million. i also believe we should be building a beautiful tower there at the corner of beal and howard and i'm glad staff finally posted this easement, it wasn't posted last weekend for some reason so people could go through it, it was a hand full of pages, i haven't had time to go through it. i can tell you there is not a single mention of a tunnel anywhere in that easement. that's a problem because as

far as i recall the tjpa has a legal mandate at some point in time to provide some kind of rail facility between the transbay terminal and the east bay. so i am asking that you defer this until mtc has had time to go through this and do some kind of engineering. trust me, this can be done but not the way it's specified in the easement. in closing i'm going to tell you exactly why i'm asking you to do this. i'm going to wind the clock back 15 years ago and it's happened with the tower. when the mayor's office went to the planning department and said you know that building there, you will be okay, 80 foot piles, knowing fully well at some point we are going to be digging right next door to it, the end result of that is that we ended up so far with an 88 million dollar buttress inside the transbay terminal

box. this will (inaudible) down the line because we have to rise over it as we rise out ftd tunnel instead of being half day down and start diving because we want to go under the bay. i'm just going to leave it at that. >> thank you. >> i apologize you are seeing so much of me but i guess i feel serious about that. we talk about phase iii. if there is a phase iii, and i think, base ds on the newspaper article and everything there will be a phase iii, that phase iii will go through this property in some manner. we should have an easement in some manner under that property. i also read the easement instructions and they have nothing to do with anything under the property, they are only having to do with where this train box extension is. a big mistake. why not save lots of money now than spend it 4 years from now when we need to go underneath that property to

get across the bay? this is the phase iii argument where we seem to refuse to talk about the gorilla in the room. phase iii needs to be dealt with, it needs to be planned for and it needs to be implemented. thank you. >> i believe that concludes members of the public that want to address you on that item. >> can we ask staff to speak to whatever extent this building, if built, would preclude an extension to the east? >> certainly. >> the building which i should point out has been now approved by ocii, it's been approved by the board of supervisors, it's been in redevelopment plan for over 10 years. there's going to be a basement to the building so i can't speak, i'm not an engineer, i can't speak to whether it's even feasible

to build something --. >> (inaudible). >> we're building, we're extending the train box in phase ii adjacent to the building. we're not going underneath it and we've worked out an easement with the developer to provide us with access to provide two locations so that we make sure that we're not disrupting their operations in the future when we extend the train box. but it does not go underneath the building, it just extends to main street. >> my understanding is that this alignment is not being considered at all so it's just a hypothetical situation. we can't answer hypothetically what you could do but this office tower is part of the redevelopment plan so it's going to be -- move forward. >> the mention was just to make sure that in the future when we build the train box

that there is no impact from this building to our train box. it's not making our construction more difficult than it needs to be, so we've got some rights and some easements from the developer through this agreement to ensure that. but we don't have any -- we are not going underneath the building, current alignment. >> marilyn murphy is on the dtx design team and she's an engineer that is not with us today but she had provided some insight that the team does have feesible alternative designs that would be available and that wouldn't be impacted by the box 5 development. there are ideas in the works that would allow for extension and taking into consideration the extension of the train box and the box 5 development. >> that's good to know. now this is way down the road for us, way, way down the road just in terms of anything we can do about it now. i think that's everybody's point.

go ahead, mary. >> can i just restate it? i got -- so there's always long-term planning. so what i heard you say coupled with what mark said is the way this agreement is written it's okay for the purposes of our train box and extension that it does not preclude some type of an underground tunnel over to the east bay because there's multiple --. >> that's right. >> -- conceptual alignments, but it would preclude if there was one particular one going through this block beyond what's necessary for our train box. so the long-term concept is not, it doesn't die or it's not precluded because of how we've set up this agreement. >> i think all of that is correct, director lee. i think there is one alternative that may be precluded as a result of

the box 5 development. >> there are other alignments that can get us over to the east bay in the future. >> that is correct. >> studied by mtc and the various partners or the city, i don't know who's studying what. >> the tjpa has certainly studied those. i don't know the expect that mtc has weighed in on those at this point. >> the conceptual alignments, who are they being proposed by? >> i think there are a variety of folks who have proposed conceptual alignments but the tjpa team certainly has looked at them. >> i will move approval. >> second. >> i will go ahead and note that director kim is absent. with that, director lee, yes. director riskin, aye. vice chair nuru, aye. chair harper,

aye. that's four ayes and item 17 is approved and directors that concludes your agenda for today. >> is that it? we are adjourned. >> thank you. (meeting adjourned). this is s

the meeting time is -- this meeting is being televised soon to be live tonight and the small business commission thanks sf govtv staff for televising this meeting. please turn off your devices. the public comment during the meeting is limited to 3 minutes per speaker. speakers are requested but not required. completion of a speaker card while optional will help ensure proper spelling of speakers name of the meeting. applies

fill out speaker cards before approaching. additionally there is a sign in sheet to be added to the mailing list. mr. president, i will start with item no. 1. it's call to order and roll call. commissioner adams, here, commissioner dooley, commissioner dwight, here, commissioner ortiz cartagena and commissioner white and commissioner riley is absent. mr. president you have a quorum. shall we move to item no. 2. general public comment >> let's do it. >> general public comment allows the public to comment on matters on today's purview and not on the agenda and for future consideration. >> do we have any members of

the public that would like to have public comment or anything that is not on today's agenda? >> so, if you will just, public speaker: i'm gail ball an vice-president of the hayes valley merchants association and we oppose the goes at the district that bans retail. i will forward our argument to the commission for their review instead focusing on brick and mortar stores for their store count. there is definitely room for another interpretation of formula retail to meet maximum.

i will be happy to discuss with them. that's not why i am here. which leaves me why i'm here before you. i want to strongly recommend this commission can view this commission can protect themselves to compete with larger more well funded corporations that want to move into san francisco's district financing options to ban formula retailers. here is the current situation. the planning department's current procedure to fill and title space does not fill the component of the community outreach. particularly the district where formula retail is banned. in the same way developers is required to reach out to the community as they build their projects. 2, there are an estimated 150 commercial spaces coming into the market octavia plan and you can add to the bayview, the south of market area where they are going to be tremendous numbers of commercial spaces coming that need to be filled. this

formula retail ban will continue to come under increasing pressure for the housing units that are coming into the surrounding areas. developers put will it thought into the type of retail and put in larger spaces of 2025 for their usual space size. commercial brokers have little interest in the needs of neighborhoods preferring to large spaces on affordable smaller business. in large transitional corporations that higher rents than the smaller business that continue to remain there. i have some suggestions for your commission to consider for it's future planning. we have already recommended to the zoning administrator for it's planning approval process of a retailer

filling an entitle rethailand -- retailed space for current merchants and neighbors in a similar method that is required for developers in new buildings. developers of new spaces and also for remodeling requiring developers to build-out spaces that are small are. -- smaller. i call it micro retail. most importantly commercial brokers require you to go for this communication. >> we have to end your presentation. however, i will say thank you very much. we are quite familiar with the case that you are referring to and it regrettably met a procedural requirement and so there is certainly some discussion of whether that

original application was in good faith or not knowing they had an expansion beyond our formula retail limits probably already planned. that being said, this formula retail current legislation is quite concise and in fact we specifically made it that way so that there would be very objective rules. and here we have a case that has met the objective rules of engagement. if you have selections we would be delighted to hear them and the purpose is to put things on the agenda for the future so you have time to talk. i would not make the complete case but the appeal to hear it. we are always interested in issues regarding formula retail. if there are ways that we can augment the current legislation and we

can get a sponsor for that, we are happy to hear that. we would be delighted to have you submit your suggestions to us for a meeting in the future to have an appropriate amount of time. >> got it. this is appropriate to bring it up. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. any other public comment, anything that is not on today's agenda. thanks for coming out today, by the way, and please let us know specifically if you would like us to agendaize a more detailed presentation. >> what might be good, for your written comments if there is anything you would like to expand on it, forward it to me so i can forward to the commissioners to -- >> yeah, we don't mean to be abrupt, it's a matter of procedure. thank you. >> is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. let's move on. >> the next item is item no. 3,

approval of the august 24, 2015, regular minutes. >> i motion to approve the minutes of the august 24th, meeting. >> anyone want to second that? >> second. >> all right. city clerk: motion by commissioner adams, second by commissioner white. and shall we do an all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> any opposed? >> let's move to item 4. city clerk: discussion and possible action to make recommendations to the board of supervisors on file no. 150758 public works code, public right-of-way occupancy fee exemption. this is a discussion and possible action. this is an ordinance amending the public works code to provide that flood water management project that are located within the public right-of-way requiring minor encroachment to

the san francisco public utilities commission grant right-of-way occupancy fee. we have a presentation by carolyn goesen legislative aid to supervisor campos. >> welcome. >> thank you commissioners for having me here today and thank you, gina, as well. the legislation before you is essentially to help small business and residents in the folsom area, the lowest part of our city and therefore experiences the worst flooding. specifically the legislation amends the public works code that amended to the grant that will not charge this public right-of-way occupancy fee. to give you a little background, campos has

a hearing as we have issues for major small businesses and other residents. out of that hearing a working group formed local businesses and mga of infrastructure is going to be speak here if that's okay as part of our presentation have been working together for many months to find a way to addressing this persistent flooding problem. two ideas have come out of this working group already that we are working forward with and one is to fund the program to encourage property owners to install improvements on properties that lower the risk of harm caused by flooding and originally only types of projects could be covered and the puc has been great of working with small business owners and residents to make sure the project has helped them instead of them trying to fix their properties in the specific

confines of the original grant. so that's been happening and residents and small businesses are very happy about that and second to wave the fees if the projects involved a minor encroachment. that's what our minor legislation is doing and essentially exempting these fees will make it easier for small businesses to apply for the grant program if they know there will be no fees related and will also further the incentive provided by the grant program to encourage property owners to lower their risk of harm. already i know for example there was one small business owner who he had applied that he had to pay a fee initially. he was told he had to pay a fee. in fact his case, the water over the years had pressed this sidewalk lower than what had

been an he was restoring it to the level of the sidewalk had been and because he changed the sidewalk it would have forced him to pay the puc. so the puc worked with him and had to do a lot of paperwork to get the bureaucracy changed so we are trying to avoid having to did that. if you are getting that grant money, that fee is waved. thank you very much. and we would love to have kathy speak briefly to that. they have been wonderful in helping our community. >> thank you. >> good afternoon commissioners. the puc just to give you an example of what happened in that situation as the sidewalk did settle and it settled an the small business owner raised the sidewalk and he was assessed a fee of about $2500 which he would have to pay into perpetuity as long as he

owned that property. so we worked with dpw to see if he could look at the situation because they had looked at it narrowly as raising the slope so we said it's not a curb ramp at an intersection and so they reassessed it and they are still having to reassess the fees of a minimum amount of $100 because he had a gate that opened onto the sidewalk. so what this legislation would do is if someone put a movable barrier that was attached to their home, if it per intruded over the sidewalk they would face an encroachment fee and they would still be applying for a permit. >> okay. sounds reasonable.

>> i know they are really trying especially with this winter everybody is trying to get ready for this. this is a very good piece of legislation. so i really appreciate everything that the supervisor is doing in this area neighborhood. >> commissioner white? >> yes, i believe i heard it. the c assessment is $100 that would be waved or is it different? >> under the current code the minimum they would assess is $100 but that could go way up depending on the improvements and how far is the

encroachment. if they base the sidewalk back to its original to where it was raised. that particular owner had to pay about $2500 in fees. and he would have to pay that annually every year. >> finds it in the provision there is no provision currently to allow the waiver. >> correct. >> this is to allow a waiver subject to review? >> yes. >> commissioners, to the present example with the small business legislation that we do for the sidewalk permit temporary occupancy, the departments have to account for the number of permits they issue and the revenue that comes in, right? so they need legislation to account for the fact that they have not

collected revenue for the permits. so another example is that supervisor tang annually had been doing the awning replacement and they did that in may so they wouldn't have to do that every year. >> generally the legislature avoids the response, we just can't do that. so commissioner, sarkissian? >> i just want to confer. when you talk about property owners, are we talking the leased owner. you talked about the property owner as well as the business? >> it could be, it has to be the property owner, so the business owner could be just the renter. it

would benefit the renter because it gives the property owner the incentive to apply for the grant. right now, if they have a residenter, -- renter. the business owner has to get the property owner to apply for the grant. but the property owner won't apply for the grant if they have to jump through as you of these hoops. >> the business owner cannot apply for these initiatives? >> not unless they make the improvements to the property. >> if the property owner was the business of the property. >> that's why it was confusing to me. >> that particular case it would also be the owner. >> that legislation refers to property owners. >> yes. >> thank you, any other questions or comments, commissioners?

great. seeing none, we'll open to public comment. is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. we have an action item here if we choose to support this. >> i have a motion to approve this. this is a very good piece of legislation and i think it will help with property owners in that neighborhood and not only that neighborhood but other neighborhoods too that will definitely benefit from this piece of legislation and get this stuff done. i totally support this. i second the supporting of this legislation. >> okay. can we have a roll call vote. city clerk: commissioner adams, yes, commissioner dwight, yes, commissioner sarkissian? yes, commissioner white? yes.

that motion passes with approval to recommend to the board of supervisors to approve file 150758. 4-0. >> thank you very much. it's a success. it's happy hour time now. all right. moving on to next item. >> item no. 5. presentation discussion on the small business commission meeting schedule to facilitate legacy business registry program. i thought it was appropriate for us to have a discussion around the meeting schedule prior to for what's currently in place. there is no criteria as to the number of legacy business applications that you are

required to hear so the meetings can be scheduled as the commission's seen fit and the schedule. i just wanted to give a little bit of perspective that should the ballot measure pass, the commission would be obligated to hear a minimum of 300 applications a year. this roughly divides out by 12 to 52 applications a month. a safe proclamation for each year would be 25 minutes in terms of the business providing the presentation commission asking questions and providing comments and any public comment and for the commission to make it's final determination. so that average about 8 hours hearing time each

no. it -- month. it gives you the idea considering that and using that towards a metric. did i do that incorrectly? 25. that's still ten hours10 hours >> okay. so 25 a month. so thank you for that correction. so the city attorney has confirmed, just being respectful of the meeting time and hearing concerns about adding on an additional meeting time which maybe something that may have to be considered down the road, but currently in terms of we can soon start taking

applications. there is nothing preventing us from taking applications once the application is set and we can get it up and going on the website. so the city attorney has confirmed that the commission president can establish the committee to the initial hearing. then but the final approval or disapproval to take place at the full commission and you would still have to hear, you would still have to allow for public comment to take place. so unlike the board of supervisors where there are committee meetings where public comment takes place, but at the full board, public comment cannot take place with items that are heard at the full board. that is only allowed at the full board of supervisors. we would still have to allow for public comment, but the key amount, the large amount of the time taken for each hearing could possibly take place in a

committee setting and then it would be to the discretion of the president to determine who is on the committee and perhaps committee members can rotate over time to vet applications and kind of sort of relieve some of the requirement of the additional meeting time. so currently right now before brian's departure, he checked in with our building management and if to simplify it and we did meetings with our regular schedule, there is no limit to the amount of time that the commission can stay here in a meeting after 5:30. >> that's awesome. >> i love it. but the

commission can start it's meeting at 3:30. so from 3:30 to 5:30. there is some flexibility there. and to have some on the front end and back end. this is facilitating. once we start to receive enough on the application, this is to facilitate the current law right now. then for the fourth meeting of the month, 4:00 is technically our cutoff time because the ethics commission meets after us here in room 400. but we can start the meetings as early as 11:30 on the fourth monday of the month and there is also available meeting time for

on friday. and we would just need, if the commission is amenable to friday meeting we would just need to let the building management know if we want a two our block, 3-hour block or 4-hour block and they will let us know if something is available and i can get back to you on that. so, feedback thoughts we don't have to do anything to sent it to. >> so my comment is good to know that we have flexibility. i would say we wait and see attitude because we do not need all of those 8 hours. i'm sure steve will be happy to chair that committee. >> i have a question. is there a deadline submittal on this?

>> i'm going to finalize the application and make the modifications made to simplify the application. i would like to have that finalized by the end of the week. there are supervisors very anxious to start making their nominations . >> that's fine. >> their registration. >> that's fine. so i would say that there are supervisors that are that have nominees that they would like to get submitted and get to the commission before the hearing. >> i think we have the flexibility to respond to the application. >> i have a question about the

timing assuming that your application is finalized. it is submitted and publicized so to speak. what is your vision about these applications coming back before the elections. is that going to happen in october? is this activity before the legislation is voted on? >> the thing is that in the original legislation it did state kind of a september 30th time for a delivery of implementation of the program as to what was passed by the board of supervisors. with that the schedule is predicated on when an applicant

-- application is completed and we are able to get it to you in time for review and agendaized. >> my other question is assuming that this legislation new legislation passes circulate a mooting or does it affect the application that we have submitted prior to that date? >> no. >> so these applications would be filed and eventually we would get to them and depending on the number of applications you decide how to spread that. >> yeah. >> and we actually, the office of small business has the is ultimately blesses it as a legacy business or not or does the board of supervisors do that? >> again, the procedure is that

and the procedure that we are going to follow at this particular point in time as we discussed at the last meeting because of staffing is that right now the office will only facilitate the application, the registration application with businesses that have been nominated by the mayor or board of supervisors. >> right. they get nominated and they submit their application, we the commission, who blesses? >> you bless. >> there you go. we finally have something that we get to bless. >> the small business commission makes the determination as to whether the business meets the criteria. >> we are graduating from an advisory body to a decision making body. how about that? as i say we have plenty of runway to determine how we need to respond to

this based on the response we get in terms of nominations. >> correct. but it would be good in case there is an indication or an i hear from building management that we might need to sort of put some reserve on. some direction from the commission. in terms of preference. >> i would recommend that we plan a back end to this meeting because i think it's clearly a challenge for all of us to get here at this meeting time and making it earlier is going to make it more challenging and we are all with these small business owners themselves and it's a struggle to do that. if we just make and we are unlike to have any conflicts for this space after our

meeting. >> correct. >> it would be pretty gone after we are done. that gives us the greatest flexibility if it maybe perhaps the most onerous time slot. we'll deal with it as it comes. >> all right. great. thank you for that discussion, commissioners. then just behind the meeting is i want to highlight through some additional discussion with on page 2, just to make it a little easier to read i have sectioned out some of the criteria section for the businesses to follow and that follows the criteria set out in the legislation. and then on

page 4 of the official application, adding a section that list who the nominee is and a signature of the nominee. and that is, those are really the only essential changes. >> this is online? >> i am working to get it to be a fillable pdf. >> this is a document. >> we officially cannot do that. that is one of the projects that jane is working on with the office of contract administration to do online signatures. >> so for now you can fill it out online and print it out and sign it. >> yes. and regardless for section 3 they do need to do a more expanded narrative and so, and then of course submit any sort of you know

supplemental documents or memorabilia. >> okay. sounds good. all right. >> was there a question? >> i think there is no further action required. >> there is no action required. >> all right. let's move on. directors report. city clerk: item no. 6 is directors report. update on small business assistance center and the 2016 calendar. so just to highlight. i have mentioned it a couple times but i have not done a written report in a couple meetings. i wanted to reconfirm the week of small business week for 2016, and that is may 23-28. so tomorrow night at the council of district merchant's meeting i will make an announcement requesting the

merchants association about making may 21 or may 28. >> where is that meeting? >> it's at -- the dates are correct. the year is not correct. >> okay. so, the shop and dime by local campaign, commissioner dwight has been involved with these meetings and i will let you expand upon that under your president's report. i just have it on here because it will be something that come the holidays will be program an initiative that will be launched. and i'm currently not participating in the meetings. we have president dwight there and oewd is leading the initiative. so there is plenty of things for other things to be

doing. the el nino. the city has started to have meetings to discuss preparation. i just wanted to bring it to your attention in case you would like to have a presentation from the city, from the department of emergency management and the department of public utilities commission and what they are anticipating and what are they planning for and is there any outreach to businesses especially those that have subbasements in flood zone areas about what they can be doing, what to prepare for. so, since it is starting to a topic of discussion . in the media i wanted to bring back to your attention in case you want to bring back a presentation so i can prepare for that.

>> i would just think it's all about flood response, right? so do we need a formal presentation on this? >> okay. and then i just wanted to next bring to your attention that we did not have a retreat last year. so do you want to think about having another retreat coming up for 2016. ideally would like to schedule it before the end of the year if possible. but we'll be taking a look at schedules. but i have some hietd items in terms of what our priority items that are already part of the commission and the offices responsibilities. just to give some thought. so, i will be meeting with the president, vice-president and our past president to take a look at this and start scheduling and preparing

for a retreat. >> okay. we can consider that. >> legislation and policy matters. so supervisor farrell ended up going ahead and moving his original legislation did not include the recommendations that the commission had recommended due to timing reasons. so that at last tuesday's full commission, full board of supervisors meeting it passed it's first reading. so jess and i will discuss what to do with the next recommendation. the paid sick leave, ochllsc is putting a more refined rfq for the state and the local. there is some delay in getting the faq's completed. but it is due to some information from the state and determinations that they are making based upon the last set of

amendments that were made to the law. so, we are hopeful that there will be able to have a presentation to you in the next 3 weeks, perhaps. but again waiting for the state for some final information. >> i wanted to, i had an interesting call from a merchant on divisadero who has long hours. as we know many of our service sectors are living outside of the city and having them come to work with very early hours or have very late hours and dealing with the reliability of our san francisco transit, bay area transit and or the amount of time it takes to travel, they are

driving into work. up until recently there wasn't an issue about parking because there wasn't much residential permitted parking in that area, but recently both around alamo square and panhandle parking this has created a parking problem. this has created problems for employees because people that are driving they are having to ietsd move their car every 2 hours so it's affecting scheduling breaks, causing stress and a ticket you know is $75. so that's a big chunk of change for an employee's daily wage. currently with the residential parking permit, a business sits on a neighborhood commercial corridor that is in a residential parking permitted

area. that business is able to have up to three permits for their working vehicles so their delivery vehicles. so i did reach out to the sf mta and they are actually under, they had actually had this slated to start looking at the redevelopment permit and they are advised the office to be a part of this and will be working to bring in some businesses to be part of this but i want to bring it to your attention because i think to me this is very much at the time and many businesses are going to be facing with their employees and more it's a cost of housing continues to go up more and more will be moving outside of the city. >> the sf mta as to acknowledge the only practical solution is to

improve public transportation. there is no parking and there is an act to reduce parking. there is no way there. there are no parking places. so we have to facilitate people getting to work by public transportation. it's all there is. there is no other solution. we don't need to waste a bunch of time on moderating rpp because the residents have as much right to park there as much as the businesses. this city has to get public transportation to accommodate the needs of both residents and the employers. there is no resolution. we can talk about it all we want. >> and i think, >> you can make it fou hours, it will make it half as bad. >> i think there is there is

short-term and long-term because we can deal with our own transportation and deal with sf mta because the intersection, it's not just bart, it's am tram, the transportation in the outer area as well. so it has to really be looked at regionally. i'm just bringing this to your attention because i think this is a pressure that businesses are going to feel and exactly what the small business commission you know does with this information that you may not yet determine but there may be some policy direction that you may y want to provide. >> there is an appeal that we can make with the city improve it's transportation system and that we have a reasonableal plan that improves the mobility of people inter city.

>> we should look at immediate solutions. so this seems to be kind of an remedial solution to these areas. at least try to fulfill their needs and then make a policy and statement in general. i tell all of my employees to adjust our schedule. i can't stand it when i hear someone who got a ticket who if they are making minimum wage. a $75 ticket black and white -- oh black bliterates what you made. you can't buy lunch in san francisco for $5. if you got a ticket everyday, that

ain't going to work. >> right, for our retail businesses it's not possible to leave the floor when you have customers standing in line to move the car. >> actually when it's difficult to man those positions you have two people on the floor so 1 person can watch while the other person moves their car. we can't have people running outside every 2 hours to move their cars and turn off the factory it's absurd. business owners will have to be adaptable to allow their employees to deal with the inadequacy of public transportation and the employees will have to do their part to compensate for that. sorry, but there is no two ways about it. i don't see any short-term or remediation to this frankly. we are going to

talk about it until we are blue in the face. there is long-term solution and short-term solutions are going to be accommodations by employers and the employees and your 8-hour day is now a 10-hour day and you spend an hour on either end commuting. >> thank you for that discussion. then i just want to also bring to your attention that if i'm getting a few calls or similar calls from businesses. so recently i did receive two calls regarding coverage for businesses that are having to close while the retrofitting work is taking place. so fortunately the landlord is not, they are closing, fortunate for them the landlord is still going to continue to lease to them, but the unfortunate element is that they are having to close their business for 3- 4

months to do it. so, just they called to check to see if there is any sort of resources or assistance that was thought about for businesses for having to close. so >> and the answer is no? >> there was nothing planned. >> they would not be paying rent? >> likely not. >> if they are employees. >> they have to pay the store. and you know hopefully some businesses will have business interruption insurance that they maybe able to rely on but not all may. >> and then i just provided a list of some future presentations that will be ahead. and then that we will be receiving the super bowl

presentation from jason tremu at the next meeting. and then a list, a calendar list looking at 2016 meeting schedule. i have it here. just for your information. may because of small business week we will be canceling that meeting and it will be to your discretion as to whether as we get closer to have a meeting on may 30th or just the one meeting a month. >> okay. awesome. is that it? >> then lastly, i want to mention that i did attend a panel presentation to discuss minimum wage and other employer mandates at people wear and apparel manufacturing organization and it was a very interesting discussion regarding workforce. and dealing with the

local and regional issues and as you are acutely aware of commissioner white about the reduction of manufacturers in san francisco and also it was an opportunity to sort of begin to have some discussion about property owner ship as well. so i think that will be a program that we can develop through the legacy business as an initiative but i think property owner ship in general will be a good program whether there is anything behind it other than just packaging the how to will be something that will be a benefit to our businesses. >> the best form of rent control. >> so that concludes my report. >> okay. thank you. >> item no. 7 is president 's report.

>> i only have to report as you mentioned that i do attend the shop local meeting which is the collaboration between oewb and the chamber of commerce and it's focused primarily presently on kind of a business to consumer more specifically retailer to consumer communication effort and an attempt to garner some fund to campaign around the holidays. it's not clear where that money is going to come from. on the business side there is a meeting or sort of a meet and greet planned as promised. that's being organizeded by the chamber of commerce on october 22 nd and they are looking for a venue and asking me what recommendations i have for

80-120 people. i'm in big time in favor of that. other than it was a quiet month with everyone on recess. city clerk: item nor 8. vice-president's report. >> nothing to report. >> commissioners, got any reports? >> no. nothing to report. >> no demerits for having no reports. >> item 10. new business. none. seeing none. >> all right. commissioners we are now onto item november 11th. adjournment. >> here it comes. >> i motion to adjourn. >> second that. >> all in favor say, "aye". >> aye. >> any opposed? . >> we are adjourned at 6:25. [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >>.
