persist is connecttivety. plants and animals need each other in relationship and they also need space across space -- to be able to move across space to go from one place to another to renew their genetic inheritance of others with of their own kind and to rest and reproduce. so what are some of the things in the way of saving nature today, which is under seeing in a dire way, connectivity. the lack of connectivity among human institutions is one of the big problems. so we have all of these incredible achievements in san francisco to bring banative species to integrate new exotic species and to create more and more beautiful nature that characterize our beautiful city.

we have all of these different agencies that don't know what each other are doing and they don't coordinate with each other. >> [bell ringing] >> so this is a way to amplify nature. >> thank you. >> beckie evans on behalf of the sierra club. we support this resolution. it's pleasing to be here and see the cooperation of the people from the different city departments vm i'm impressed by the fact that the san francisco children's program have a swath of san francisco's public open space that was under to guidance of the federal government. i hope you will support this. i think it's a good start. we've got a way to go and i think it's a good thing for the department of environment and the city to be doing during this incredible time of pressure on our public lands. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please.

>> good afternoon. board of supervisors and fellow citizens, my name is ryan tachiana, the youth programs organizer from environmental justice. the bio diversity of our city is related to the well being of all living organisms including us. bio diversity is the foundation of the ecosystem services that clean the air we breathe, protect our homes from rising sea levels and provide a healthier tomorrow for a children and future generations. it's important more than ever to connect the people of san francisco to our city's natural wonders and educate our communities about the values of biodiversity. i support our bio diversity resolution and i appreciate the city investing in a healthier tomorrow. thank you. >> thank you very much. i'll call an up can -- call a couple of names. greg, lou, jake. i

believe i called bob hall also. hi, bob. come on up. >> bob hall here. passionate san francisco enthusiast and wildlife enthusiast. across the united states city managers always look to san francisco to lead on tough issues. san francisco is a no excuses, can-do city. we lead on public healthcare, we led on gay marriage and san francisco is the first and only city in the united states where all residents have access to a park within a 10-minute walk. now we must lead on protecting the foundation of life. no sweat, right? although concerned about athletes to species, diversity tend to focus on large species such as bald eagles, threats to the bio diversity of small organisms are the same or of greater importance. small organisms are often more

specialized and adapted to certain plant species and habitats than are the large animals and therefore they are more susceptible to extension. we need policies that protect them. species support biological protection and regulation through the food chain in a variety of ways such as adding to the soil fertility, pollination, plant growth and waste decomposition. the more deverse a system is the more stable it is. >> [bell ringing] >> so i encourage you to adopt these great policies that you're putting forward today and please make san francisco proud and have all the other cities look at us again as a leader. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors,

my name is greg gar. i have lived in san francisco all my life. i volunteer in the parks and open spaces to battle the weeds that are displacing our native plant communities. it's important to realize that this planet is the only place in the universe that we are aware of where life exists. bio diversity is the barometer that determines how healthy this planet is. we don't want to lose this precious planet and the life it has produced but as things are going if you look at the history of the bay area which is the micro causism of the entire plant we've gone from one of the richest ebbing -- eco systems to a remanence of what

existed 250 years ago where there was mountain bears, grizzly lions, a much larger bay that has much -- much of it has been filled in. the tidal marshes have been destroyed. now we are aware of how to restore these areas. it's very spiritually reward ing to go out and restore an area and see the butterflies and the birds return. in san francisco we have the natural areas program, we have the national park service and the -- >> [bell ringing] >> -- and there's so many opportunities to get involved in stewarding the land. i hope you support this bio diversity resolution. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> hello. any -- my name is lou springer. i'm a proud partner of many of the city's efforts restoring bio diversity

throughout the city. i'm here to read a letter on behalf of our chief executive officer, jean frasier. i'm writing on behalf oh the city in strong support of the city bio diversity resolution. it is a bio diversity hot spot within the city of san francisco and a member of the united nations the bio spear reserve. the trust shares the city's goals of preserving the city's diverse biological resources and partner with the city on a number of efforts in support of stewardship. the trust also recognizes there's a great urgency to address the loss of bio diversity as much of san francisco's natural remaining heritage is threatened. we will support existing bio diversity by providing a unified vision. enhancing inner agency collaboration, completing a

survey of current work of bio diversity and strategies going forward to increase efforts, collaboration partnership. articulating a commitment through commission resolutions or presentations and outlining a specific frame work for the department of the environment to convene the departments on a regular lbasis to move forward. thank you so much. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> jake thig speaking for the local chapter of the california native plant society. i'm glad to see san francisco once again in the lead on questions of the environment. even though the public is rather vague on what bio diversity is, the actual fact is they're all in favor of

it. variety is the spice of life as everyone knows. the current issue of the guardian of london has this on the front page. it's a major story. this week. the economist is just like it sounds, a business paper. they're paying attention to this too. they recognize the -- what is at stake. it is titled a crisis in the natural word, major study reveals how run away resource exploitation threatens water and food security for billions. human destruction of nature is rapidly eroding the world's capacity to provide food, water and security to billions of people according to the most comprehensive bio diversity study in more than a decade. such as the rate of decline and risks posed by bio

diversity loss should be considered -- >> [bell ringing] >> on the same scale of those of climate change noted the authors. among the major findings are the exploitable fisheries of the world, the asian pacific is on course to decline to zero by 2048. so on. it goes on much more. thank you. >> i will call up two more names. kelly trahan and orie heartenstein and then we have nadine will. >> each day i have the privilege of serving library

patrons who care deeply for the environment. the library is proud to support this bio diversity policy and the vision to connect all san francisco residents to nature and inspire stewardship. it's impressive but we know it faces significant challenges. the library's vision includes the provision of free and equal access to information for our diverse community. as part of this vision the library is excited to continue our partnership with the department of environment to bring information to the public and to provide conservation to come. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> hello. good afternoon. my name is orie. i'm an intern

with the san francisco department of viefrmeenvironmen hyperwith my cointern to politic the two minutes. >> sure. >> thank you. i'm very proud to see the city taking this policy in consideration considering the current administration that we have and even hearing you-all speak of that as well and recognizing that. san francisco serves an example nationally and globally so i'm really happy to see that and i'm sure the world as well. so thank you. >> thank you. >> and i just wanted to quote a native american proverb that says, we aren't inheriting this land from our ancest secestors are borrowing it from our children. so just think about it. i think we need to do better. thank you. >> thank you very much. other public speakers?

>> hello. my name is nadine wild, the executive director of the thorn foundation. we have a partner of the environment. we are concerned this bio diversity resolution will threaten public safety unless amended. we would be grateful if the committee could please consider four small amendments. one, please add a one to one tree replacement rate. right now any trees failed under this policy will fall through the cracks causing deforestation and climate change. climate change is the number one threat to bio diversity. two, please add back the urban forest plan. it was in the original resolution twice, other plans like green connections are still in but the urban forest plan was deleted.

please add it back as trees are our best defense against climate change. three, please ensure that this will not lead to any tier one pesticide use. applications increased 411% last year. it was because of bio diversity policies just like this one. other cities like seattle and portland have pesticide free parks where san francisco is falling further behind. these pesticides are poisoning our children, our land and our bio diversity including monarch butterflies. four -- >> [bell ringing] >> please add back plants on page three. the environment commission wanted to make sure this was not just about native plants. they voted to include non-native, noninvasive plants.

this phrase hand become deleted and the agenda has become narrow. it mentioned native plants six times on four pages. this is overly prescriptive and -- >> [bell ringing] >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. and anastasia glintenterisha. >> i doesn't matter. first i brought two letters from san francisco forest alliance. you may have received them by e-mail or maybe not. you might have not read them. i don't know. please include it in the meeting minutes. i'm here to oppose this resolution. the main reason is because bio diversity in the city of san francisco is totally completely in separately connected to highly toxic herbicides. those are herbicides. those things kill plants and there's absolutely no need, no possible need to use

them. this book was published in october of last year. i only started reading it recently. it's called killer of cancer and corruption of science. it only talks about round up and this round up was just used on march 7th in mount davidson. it was a very toxic herbicides. the herbicides are used all the time. all the time. last year the use was up by 50%. they were used in mount davidson 17 times, in glen park 30 times and people just have no idea that it is done. like i tell people and they have no clue. those who knows are only those who have dogs and walk all the time and pay attention to all the signs. it's total unacceptable and has to be banned. it can no go.

>> [bell ringing] >> it's too much. they cannot be used as the last resort. they are not appropriate. they are used from carpet so it should be banned. please stop the stupidity and please do -- >> thank you very much. anymore public comments? seeing none. public comment is now closed. >>

>> so we don't have any parks that are "pesticide free"? >> well, we don't have them denoted as such, but if you look at pesticide use in the city, it's almost half had not had any herbicide use since 2010. so the staff have done a really

good job of minimizing use. >> there's different ways of talking about the pesticide use, and those cities that have pesticide free parks, then they don't have a whole bunch of parks that don't have those restrictions. what i said was i don't care if there's a playground, you cannot use pesticides. so because we have so many parks, we just make them all have the same requirements. you can see that most of the parks regardless do not. >> and the answer was -- was sufficient -- sufficient. >> yeah. >> no, i just know sometimes the public feels safer knowing this named park will never get pesticide, but i understand the approach that you've taken, and the answer satisfies me. thank you. okay. supervisor safai? >> i just want to go back to my

original request of page four, line eight, and i just want to ask the city attorney and department of environment if you can work on some language between now -- >> i actually have some language. do you want me to offer it now or to be cleaner, do you want to wait? >> supervisor safai: sure. >> we would let me know -- and let me know, supervisor, if this clarifies: pursuant of opportunities to enhance native biodiversity on city owned lands unless those lands are mandated to another city use. >> supervisor safai: i think that reads a lot better. >> yeah. that gets rid of the whole middle part. >> thank you. and did your city attorney get that or would you like it in writing. >> actually, if you could get it to me. >> satisfy. >> all right. so seeing no questions, comments, maybe we can get a

motion on item four? first, a motion to amend. >> supervisor safai: i'd like to make a motion to amend as proposed by the department of environment read into the record, page 4, line eight through ten. >> okay. we'll do that without objection, and then, on the amended item? >> supervisor safai: and send this item to the full board

>> we show public quorum. to voice your opinions and concerns about policies that affect the economic vitality of small businesses here in san francisco. if you need assistance with small business matters, start here at the office of small business. thank you. first item, please. >> clerk: item one, call to order and roll call.

[ roll call. ] >> clerk: mr. president, you have a quorum. >> great. thank you. next item, please. >> clerk: item 2, general public comment. allows members of the public to comment generally on matters within the business commission's jurisdiction, but not on the agenda, and suggests future discussion items. >> do we have members of the public that would like to talk to us on items that are not on today's agenda. hello, sir. >> my name is stephen cornell and i am representing the council of district merchants, and i had a request. i think last meeting or meeting before, you had a discussion about displays in storefronts and the general health of business and retail in san francisco. from that. we would like to request that you go to the planning

department, the zoning administrator, and ask for determination, a determination of what internet companies are. are they formula businesses? do they form -- fall under our definition of them? right now, internet companies have their own trucks going in and out of the city all the time, making deliveries. some of the companies have lockers or small kiosks where they can leave stuff off. they even have places where you can buy some stuff. we're starting to see things like -- an example, amazon, which now owns whole foods markets, they'll be in the same building, down the road maybe. the whole foods market might not do well. amazon might take over. does that mean it becomes another formula retail? what we would like is some kind

of a determination of how this all works. any questions? thank y thank you. >> great. got it. thank you. any other members of the public that would like to make a comment on items not on today's agenda? seeing none, public comment is closed. next item, please. [agenda item read]. >> clerk: the business is the jazz room, the presenter is richard kurylo, legacy interim manager. >> good afternoon, president adams, commissioners, office of small business staff. richard kurylo.

legacy business program manager. sfgov tv, i have a powerpoint presentation. before you today is one application for your consideration for the business to be included on the legacy business registry. the application was reviewed by me for completion then submitted to planning department staff on february 21st for their review. the historic preservation commission heard the application on march 21st and made a positive recommendation to the small business commission. for the applicant, the commission has been provided a staff report, draft resolution, the application, a case report from planning department staff, and a resolution from the historic preservation commission. there are copies on the table for the public. the applicant is the jazz room. the jazz room is located at 5267 third street and opened in 1962, a time of similarering unrest in the bayview-hunters

point community. african americans made it their home after world war ii. this unrest channelled a sense of community. in this environment, the jazz room opened as a venue that would offer live music and drinks, designed to cater to the social and entertainment needs of the evolving community. although the jazz room has always served alcohol, it was envisioned to be more than just another neighborhood bar, hence, the name. jazz room was and is an important part of the legacy of the african american experience in san francisco and bayview-hunters point. jazz room received a positive recommendation from the historic preservation commission. staff finds the business has met the three criteria to qualify for listing on the legacy business registry.

there is a draft resolution for consideration by the small business commission. note that a motion in support of the business should be a motion in favor of the resolution. in the resolution, please pay close attention to the core physical features or traditions that define the business. once approved by the small business commission, the business must maintain these physical features or traditions in order to remain on the legacy basis registry. for the jazz room, it's our featuring jazz music. this concludes my presentation. i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. i know there are representatives who would like to speak. >> great. thank you. any questions before we go to public comment? okay. would anybody like to speak on behalf of the jazz room? and we are opening it up to public comment. come on up.

welcome. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners. my name is theo ellington, and i'm alongside the owner of the jazz room. state your name for the record? bernedette smith. >> now, normally, bernedette is working at the jazz room, but there is a monumentous occasion not only for bernedette, but for the community, so she wanted to make an appearance. this is a no brainer for me and a no brainer for a lot of the folks in the bayview. this is a long-standing community institution because like the presentation mentioned, we've got civil rights movement, we've got the era of this investment. this was really providing consistency for a lot of the residents who lived down in bayview, so you guys are cementing bayview's history and really preserving the african american culture. you know across the city and county of san francisco, the

african american population has decreased significantly. there are a number of efforts that are happening in bayview in particular to preserve that culture. i'm a part of a group called economic development on third, started by four women owned businesses along the third street corridor that decided the success of their business was dependent upon their collective success, so there's a lot of activity happening, and this really, like i mentioned before, cements the legacy for african americans, cements the legacy for miss bernedette, cements the legacy of the jazz room, and we urge you to support the resolution and grant us this status. thank you so much. >> great. thank you. any other speakers? seeing none, public comment is closed.

commissioners? commissioner dooley? >> commissioner dooley: clearly, this business is well deserving being included on the legacy business, and i'm sure we all want to congratulate you on your long-time success, and congratulations. >> miss smith, you're an angel, and you've put up with it for a long, long time down there. and you've seen the changes good and bad, and hopefully we're in a good position down there now, you know, with the council district merchants and other organizations, good things are happening, and you endured, so thank you for everything you've done for the city and for the neighborhood. so do we have a motion to approve? >> move to approve. >> second. >> i have a motion by commissioner dwight, seconded

by commissioner yee riley. role call. [ roll call. ] >> clerk: motion passes, 5-0. >> congratulations. [applause]. >> next item, please. [agenda item read]. >> r. kurylo: good afternoon again. richard kurylo, legacy business program manager. today i'm presenting proposed rules and regulations for the legacy business registry.

the document includes items from the administrative code, previous direction from the sbc, recommendations from the city attorney, and newly proposed rules and regulations. this is the initial effort to compile all the rules and regulations for the registry into a comprehensive document. please feel free to ask questions during the presentation. number one, scoped from the administrative code. a, these rules and regulations apply to a registry of legacy businesses peradmin code section 2(a) 242. b, the office of small business shall establish and maintain the legacy business registry. c, legacy business means a business that has been nominated by a member of the board of supervisors or the mayor and that the business after a hearing determines it meets each of the following criteria. i'm going to read this in its

entirety because there are a lot of references to it in the rules and regulations. number one, the business has operated in san francisco for 30 or more years with no break-in san francisco operations exceeding two years. the business may have operated in more than one location. if the liz has operated in san francisco for more than 20 years but less than 30 years, it may still satisfy this subsection if the small business commission finds that the business has significantly contributed to the history or identity of a particular neighborhood or community and if not included on the registry, the business would face a significant risk of displacement. you have to identify pretty much everything in this paragraph, which you'll see. number two, the business has contributed to the neighborhood's history and/or the identity of a particular neighborhood or community. number three, the business is committed to maintaining the physical features or traditions that define the business, including craft, culinary or

art forms, and if the small business commission makes all three findings, it shall include the business in the registry as a legacy business. note i'm proposing that letter's d and e which follow be moved to the section of definitions of keywords and phrases; and also, the word shall will be added to both sections. i placed it incorrectly and discovered it when i was doing the powerpoint presentation. b says the physical features or traditions that define the business shall include the business model. e, says the physical features or tradition that define the business shall include the name of the business. the business must maintain a consistent core business name to be eligible for and remain on the registry. i provided an example here, which you folks can read on the powerpoint or you can read in your presentation, and any

exceptions shall be made on a case-by-case basis by the small business commission. we are leaving an opening if you decided that you want to make an exception. f, nominations for the registry shall be limited to a total of 300 businesses peryear. a nomination is deemed to have been made on the date that small business commission received the nomination in writing by a member of the board of supervisors or the mayor. nominations received after the close of business on june 30th shall be considered received in the following fiscal year, and the nominations for any fichk will year shall be the first 300 received in that fiscal year. these are all from the admin code. g, there is no limit on the number of nominations that may be made by a member of the board of supervisors or the mayor. h, there shall be a one time refundable admin fee for inclusion in the registry. number two, definitions of

keywords and phrases, a, business. 1, business shall be a for profit or nonprofit entity including sole proprietorships, general partnerships, limited liability companies, or llc's, b corporations, c corporations, s corporations, limited liability partnerships and joint ventures. these categories came directly from the business registration with the treasurer tax collector. we left off public entities from the list. number two, if a business includes multiple corporate entities or is otherwise divided into multiple entities, for example, departments, sections, divisions, agencies, etcetera, they shall all be included in the registry as long as they fall under the same employer identification number, and then, we briefly define what an ein is.

number three, if there are multiple locations, all san francisco locations shall be included in the registry as long as they have the same name, same ownership, and same business model for all of the locations. same name means the name core business name, we gave an example. same ownership means having same ownership and identical percentage of ownership, and same business model means having identical core features or traditions. d, nomination. nomination shall be a letter on nominator letterhead. the nominator shall submit a letter that includes the name of the business, a paragraph that notes the business's eligibility criteria, business address and contact information. two, the nominator shall be a member of the board of supervisors or the mayor at the time of nomination. the nominator need not still be a member of the board of supervisors or the mayor when

the small business commission makes the final determination to add the business to the legacy business registry. c, the business has operated in san francisco for 30 or more years with no break-in san francisco operations cedeing two years. number two, the number of years in business in san francisco shall be 30 or more years in the past, and the start date shall be the start date of their articles of incorporation. number three, the founding location of the business shall be used to determine the number of years the business has operated, even if the business has moved from its founding location. number four, the business need not be headquartered in san francisco. number five, no break-in san francisco operations exceeding two years shall mean no break exceeding two years in the existence of the business as evidenced through the business registration, and no break-in fiscal operations exceeding

four years. exceptions may be made for exceptional circumstances as determined by the sbc. number six, a business shall be in existence and in operation in san francisco and not in a period of break-in operations when the business is added to the registry as evidenced through the business registration. d-1, more than 20 years shall mean at least 20 years and one day. the starting day as well as the specific starting month and day if known shall be considered in determining the age of the business being more than 20 years. e, significant risk of displacement. business rents their building and/or space, and one or more of the following must apply: the existence of the building is at risk or there is a month to month lease or there is no lease or the lease expires

prior to or shortly after the business would become 30 years old, and the business certifies and/or demonstrates that the lease may not be renewed by the landlord and/or the rent will increase significantly or there has been some other significant risk of displacement demonstrated by the business owner to the satisfaction of the office of small business. f-1, maintaining the physical feature ares or traditions that define the business shall mean the business must maintain the craft, culinary art forms or business model as identified by the office of small business and approved by the small business commission. number three, status categories. we've developed six categories for nominees, applicants, and legacy businesses. these are important because they pertain to the registry and the website. category one, legacy business active. the business's registration is active, the business is

physically open, business is listed on the registry and included on the website. category two, legacy business active in transition. business registration is active, the business has been physically closed for no more than four years, and the business intends to reopen. they may be seeking a new space or closed for construction, etcetera. the nature of the registry listing is that the business is listed on the registry and included in it a separate section on the website. category three, legacy business inactive. the business registration is either active or has been inactive for no more than two years. business has been physically closed for no more than fours years, and the business intends to remain closed. there is the possibility that they could open, which is why they're not removed from the registry at this point. businesses listed on the registry and included in a

separate section on the website. category four, legacy business removed from registry. sbc determines that the business misrepresented its qualifications for the registry or sbc determines that the business has ceased operation in san francisco, meaning their business registration has been inactive for two or more years or the business has been physically closed for four more years or the sbc determines that the business is no longer committed to maintaining features or traditions that led the business to be listed on the registry. the nature of the registry listing is that the business would be removed from the registry and the website. categories five and six have to do with nominees and applicants being active or inactive, and this really only affects how we list them in our database

internally. number four, removal of a legacy business from the registry. rescinding a nomination of a legacy business before placement on the registry. a member of the board of supervisors or the mayor may rescind a nomination on the business before it's been placed on the registry. this would preclude the listing of the business on the registry until the business is nominated by another nominator. e, rescinding a nomination of a legacy business after placement on the registry. if a member of the board of supervisors or the mayor rescinds a nomination after the business has been placed on the registry, this shall have no effect on the listing of the business on the registry, but the nominator shall be identified as rescinded formally nominator's name until such time the business is nominated by another nominator. number three, requesting a removal of a legacy business

from the legacy business registry. the mayor, a member of the board of supervisors, a commissioner of the sbc or hpc or any member of the public may request the removal of a legacy business from the registry. any such request shall be reviewed to the office of small business. if osb determines that the request for removal warrants further action, it will be referred to the sbc for a knotsed hearing. if osb determines that the request for removal does not warrant further action, asb will notify the requestor. the requestor may appeal that determination to the sbc. letter d, cause for removal from the registry. any of the following shall be cause to remove a business from the legacy business registry, and these correspond with that category four that i mentioned

earlier. number one, sbc determines that the business misrepresented its qualifications for the registry or number two, sbc determines that the business has ceased operations in san francisco or three the sbc determines that the business is no longer committed to maintaining the features or traditions that led the business to be listed on the registry. e, appeals process. determinations made by the office of small business may be appealed in writing to the sbc. appeals should be transmitted by means that will establish the date osb received the request. the appeal must specify each and every ground on which the appellant seeks to disturb sbc's determination. osb will hold a hearing to consider an appeal. number five, revisions to these rules and regulations. revision to the rules and regulations are subject to disapproval of the board of supervisors by ordinance. the process is described in administrative code 2(a) 242, and we included that here in

the rules and regulations. i'm happy to answer any questions you might have. >> commissioner dooley? >> commissioner dooley: i have one question on category two, the business need not be headquartered in san francisco, can you just give me a little more detail on that. >> the business need not be -- which one? i'm sorry. >> commissioner dooley: headquartered. >> r. kurylo: ah, yes. so to be a legacy business, the business does not need to be headquartered in san francisco, but the business itself needs to be in the city for 30 or more years to become on the registry. i think that's in the -- it was originally -- >> it was under the original, right. >> r. kurylo: yeah. i think originally there were three versions of the prop j,

in the admin code, and one of them said that the business had to be headquartered, and that was removed from the final legislation. >> was there a particular business or businesses that we wanted to include that was the reason for that? >> i don't think in particular, but it was -- >> or was it in principle. >> r. kurylo: but there are a number coming forward that are seeking approval, that are not headquartered in san francisco, but they're family owned and have been here for 30 plus years. there is an example coming forward. >> commissioner dooley: i think we might want to think about that one again at some time, just to get a little more clarification on it. >> no. let's say you have a company that's, like, a retail store

that's giving back to the neighborhood, but their corporate headquarters isn't in san francisco, but they definitely -- >> i think jeffrey torres is headquartered in berkeley, but you can see they started? the ci -- started in the city, but then, they had to move because of the rent, and then, they opened a store in the city. >> that -- that was a very good example. >> r. kurylo: came back to the city specifically for the legacy business program, actually. >> i guess the -- i guess, you know, the sort of wrinkle here is that it's taxpayer money that is paying for the legacy registry and all of the attendant benefits. if a company that is not based in san francisco were to apply for those benefits and receive

them, is that company really paying its fair share in terms of taxes and -- and they're going to be subject to kind of the start regulations that anyone -- any business is, including certain fees and taxes, but they're not going to be paying certain taxes into the system based on their location outside of the city, so i -- that's the only area where i would see it. >> and then -- and then only their business in san francisco would be listed on the registry. we wouldn't list -- >> yeah. >> r. kurylo: and then, the grant's only for -- >> yeah. it's eligible for things that happened within the city, but you could argue that that -- that that business wasn't fully paying into the system, if you will, because of its location outside of our county. observation. we don't need to belabor something that's probably a very rare hedge condition. >> r. kurylo: it does point

happen very often, that's true. >> i will say you did -- this is a big cleanup, and again, richard, you did a great job in cleaning this up. and everything seems more straightforward now. you did a good job on this. >> r. kurylo: yet. fantastic. thank you. >> thank you. >> any other questions before we go to public comment? are there any members of the public who would like to make a comment on item number four? seeing none, public comment is closed. this is an action item. does anybody want to make a motion? >> i move. >> second. >> the motion by commissioner yee riley, second by commissioner dwight. ro

roll call. [ roll call. ] >> clerk: motion passes, 5-0. >> great. >> clerk: and may i ask, does that include the question that i wanted to make where i wanted to move -- >> yes. >> okay. does that need to be added to the motion or -- >> technically, it should be read into the record, so -- so. >> i think the motion was to approve with the corrections noted in your presentation. >> right. >> okay. >> that's perfect. >> r. kurylo: and that was moving letters 1 d and e to the sections of definitions of both phrases and adding shall to both. >> yes. >> thank you. >> thank you. you did a very good job, richard. >> r. kurylo: thank you. oka okay. >> next item, please. >> item five. [agenda item read]

. >> so commissioners, i am going to be presenting on this since our office worked with supervisor tang along with director tom huey from the department of building inspection and nicole bonn from the mayor's office on disability. so this request did grow out of the round table of small business leaders that met with the mayor, and from that prompted the meeting with director huey and bon and i with supervisor tang, so this is the second time that she has extended out the deadline. some of this is around sort of greater complexity than maybe what was initially thought and sort of getting the program together, but this will be the last time that we do any extension. to the primary -- the

primary -- the key extensions around category one and two, so extending that deadline which was initially may 23rd, 2018, to submit the check list, and if you're a category two, and there's any barriers, what are the barrier rules and proposed -- the proposed removal of the barriers for any barriers that are there for category two. so a property owner needed to submit that check list by may 23rd, so this has now been extended out to january 1, 2019. and then, for categories two and three because we had this may 23rd date -- or a 23rd date was sort of the reporting timeline, we just -- supervisor tang just moved it to the following month, so it begins at the beginning of the following month of what was originally in the first ledge

lation for categories three and four. and then, i want to extend my appreciation to director huey again tone incentivize propert owners. he said that the fee is pretty nominal. he proposed waiving the fee so this hopefully will be another encouragement that the property owners have to take so that they won't have to submit an application fee. and then, as was read into the record, the first report to the board of supervisors will be on december 1st, 2018. so those are the key things. these are requests that came from the small business community to help deal with compliance, and if there's any questions, i'm happy to answer them. >> any questions, commissioners? no? seeing none, any members of the public wish to make a comment
