explain, there might be tie inns for equity incubators. >> thinking about the concept, keep in mind that incubators are incubators that they are pairing with a verified applicant and supporting them for no less than three years. having them move together through the process is beneficial to tractor-trailer equity applicant as well. it allows for their financial assistance or the location at which they could potentially be incubated to move at the same time. when we approach this, we think of it as sort of equity program participants. >> ok. >> so i move to include equity participants in the cb3p program. >> i second. >> second. >> so we have a motion by commissioner ortiz-cartagena and second by commissioner

zouzounis. >> adams. >> yes. >> corvi. >> yes. >> dooley has recused. >> dwight. >> yes. >> ortiz-cartagena. >> yes. >> riley. >> yes. >> commissioner zouzounis. >> yes. >> motion passes 6-0. with one recused. [applause] >> thank you all for coming out and never get off that soap box. seriously. you have to stay on that soap box and speak out. because if you don't, the other side will come out and right now we're at a war with the people in washington so stand on that soap box and keep screaming to the top of your lungs. >> next item, please. >> item 4. presentation on the gary bus rapid transit brt and i will provement project. more than 54,000 people a day rely on the 38 gerry bus service

to get where they need to do. but uneven wait times, over prouded buses and inconsistent travel times are a daily reality. these issues persist with more rush hour service and red bus only lanes. the project led by the san francisco county transportation authority and san francisco municipal transportation agency will address these issues making transit as quick and convenient and a more vibrant gerry corridor. the presenter is liz bryson, project manager. >> welcome. >> thank you. good afternoon commissioners. my name is liz bryson, i'm the project manager for the geary rapid. i will give you an update on this project because it does -- it's a major transit and safety project that does pass through a corridor that serves a lot of small businesses. it's also going to be entering

construction in the near future so it seems like something that would be of interest to the group to hear about. to set a contest it was already read into the record but the geary corridor is a very busy transit corridor for san francisco. the local and rapid buses carry about 54,000 riders each day and it's not just people going from the richmond to downtown to go to work, the line is used all times of day both directions people going ever where making all kinds of trips, shopping trips, work trips, et cetera. >> isn't it a busy bus line in the bay area? >> yes, so, really like just this line is about the same rider ship as cal train. it's a busy bus route in the country. there's probably a few lines in say new york city and l.a. that may be comparable.

we have two key goals that we're trying to achieve with this project. the first is to improve the speed and reliability of the buses. and the image on the top -- it was pretty common on the quarter today it's what we call bunches and gaps and it can be like one bus just missing the green light and maybe there's an extra big load of passengers to pick up and one bus finds schedule and the next one catches up and the next thing you have a big gap in service and people who are wait forgerofor the bus are waiting r and the bus is crowded because it's behind schedule and it's a cascading impact of delay. what we're trying to accomplish through the project, it may not look like the image on the bottom but giving it the type of priority infrastructure it's able to stay evenly spaced.

san francisco has a policy to eliminate all traffic commissions by 2024. one of the big focuses is looking at the streets where the majority of the collisions occur and geary is one of those streets. you are eight times more likely to be hit than an average city street. and so it's the first phase of improvements of what has been called the geary brt project for a lonfora long time. it's connected tie larger project that would bring changes from west of stanyan to 34th avenue. so this gives an indication of some of the key features can the

project. the number one is a dedicated bus lane on the side of the streets and we already have in the eastern part of the corridor and we would be extending them west to stanyan street. these lanes go next to the parking lane and are for buses and taxis and then regular private vehicles will enter the lanes to access parallel parking, enter driveways or make right turns. the number two points at a bus bulb. this is where you extend the sidewalk at a bus stop and it gives more room for people waiting an opportunity to put more amenities in the bus stops and then it means when the bus is stopping it doesn't pull out of traffic and pull back in, which saves a little time and it's also more pleasant if you are on the bus because you are not jerking back and fourth. number three, illustrates a pedestrian bulb. this is where you extend the sidewalk right at the intersection. it accomplishes a few different

things. one is that it means that the distance across the street when you are walking is shorter. it also means that people driving, when they're making turns, they are more likely to slow down, which makes it safer. and then finally, people are more visible to drivers. this is one of the most effective tools we have in our toolbox to address pedestrian safety and collisions. number four is illustrating medium. and the number five is pointing at a traffic signal. we'll be upgrading the traffic signals in the geary corridor, inconcludessing ouinincluding ty system that a louse buses to request e extensions of green lights. we will be retiming the signals in the corridor for an optimal progression. this gives an illustration of

one example of the safety and accessibility aspects. this is on geary on buchanan. you have the saint francis square co-operative and the ymca. this is a location where a lot of people want to cross the street but there's no opportunity to do so right now. this illustrates a traffic signal and crosswalk that is proposed as part of the project that would give a new place to cross the street. you can see an illustration of gives an example of what the bus-only lanes look like on other side of the street in a location that doesn't have them. beyond the transportation work associated with this, the other so he iassociated with. so as the transportation improvements include repaving of

the road way. definitely the pavement at this point is rough and everyone will be happy for a smoother ride. the sfpuc has water and sewer work associated with the project. this includes geary between masonic to market street and there's a fiber objec fiber optt which allows for high-speed internet and something we use for our traffic signals. so, i do want to talk about some of the outreach focused on the business community. we do have a geary community advisory committee that meets every two months and give staff advice and input on the project. we do have members on the geary cac that represent different business interest with the project corridor. we did a door-to-door loading

survey to understand each of the adjacent businesses loading needs. commercial loading, passenger loading can be a lifeline need so we wanted to make sure as we put in these improvements, we're not doing anything to hurt the access needs. we also had a variety of meetings with adjacent businesses. if there was something proposed close to their property, for example, meeting with a business that's right next to where a bus bulb or pedestrian bulb would be going in. i made a road show to present to any stake holder groups that will have me and this shows a list of some of the ones that i have visited in the last year. if you have any other suggestions of people i should ggo talk to i'm happy to share the project. i mentioned the loading survey already. i wanted to expand on that a little bit more. the bottom right gives an example of one of the m.p. staff

getting a business owner to fill out the survey and ask for general questions about where do you do your loading and what type of day and what kind of vehicles? that information was analyzed by our staff and we were able to make some changes to our project to accommodate loading needs. this shows some of the data from the survey and it gives you a sense of the different business types along the geary corridor. this is businesses between market and stanyan street. so in terms of businesses there's quite a few in the union square part of the corridor and the tenderloin, maybe not as intense business through masa on i can so you can see the most common business types as well as where the majority of businesses did their loading with half having a loading in front of their business as it was.

so in general, as we've approached the design for the projects, we've applied some criteria to prioritize curb space. our first priority is to make sure we maintain the blue zones for americans with disabilities act compliance and then our second priority is if there's any location of passenger loading zone needs to move we make sure it can move in a location where it's still going to accommodate business needs and finally, as much as possible, we strive to maintain on-street parking although some of the projects proposals require removal of on-street parking. so here are just a couple of the examples of how we've refined our designs based on business input. the first example is this is showing a location where we currently have a bus in the middle of the street, a bus stop in the middle of the street. kind of unusual to have a bus

mid bop. we like them in the intersection corner. we're looking at moving that bus stop up to tailor street but after analyzing our load survey results, there was a liquor store that does commercial loading up front and it was a tenable for that business to have its loading continue while being a bus stop. we decided to drop that propos proposal. >> this is between fill more and webster. this is where the fill more under pass is and there's not as much room and we wanted to put in this bus-only lane. we were able to workout with the adjacent businesses is we're going to cut into the sidewalk so that there's room for a commercial and passenger loading in the top left of the image where you can see the sidewalk cut in and the yellow and the white curb there.

in terms of where we are in the process, it's been around for a long time and it was a year ago the sfcta board approved the project and we've done a lot of outreach this summer and leading up to a final approval we're expecting at the sfmta board next month. we would be moving into construction and so we're expecting for construction to last two and a half years beginning this fall through the early part of 2021. in general, even though the durrization two and a half years it doesn't mean there will be disruptions along that stretch the entire time. disruption would probably be on the order of between a few weeks and a few months depending on how much work is happening in any given location. these are some of the notification efforts that we will take to make sure people are aware and anyone in close proximity of the construction

would be receiving mail notice 30 days before construction begins. we also do weekly updates on a look ahead of what construction expected in the upcoming two weeks and we also have a dedicated e-mail line and hotline that will be active throughout the entire duration of the construction and that people can reach out to us at any time if there's an issue that needs resolution. there will be signage in the corridor as well embassador to help inform people about changes especially to bus stops. we are working to work within the new construction mitigation framework that the city put together and these are some of the examples of things we're plan to go do for the project and posters that encourage people to do business in the corridor and signage to direct people to businesses where construction might be happening.

having specific open for business banners. a corridor-specific marketing campaign which in particular, if you have any feedback on we need to defining what that looks like and we would be happy to have input that ya'll have and finally we have a dedicated public information officer. actually we have a two-person team. sophia is part of our team. that concludes my presentation. happy to hear hear your questions and comments. >> i want today ask about the mitigation. a lot of the businesses on geary are very small, family businesses. is there any plans -- i mean they're not going to be able to afford to take a huge hit and gun out of bit but i just wonder are there going to be funds available to help some of the people in this corridor get through this two and a half years?

>> through the measures i showed on the side do as much to encourage customers to still patronize the businesses. the other thing i would note is the scape of this project is different than some other scales of projects in the city. if you were to compare it to vaness, it's a big construction project because they're rebuilding the street. we're not doing that with geary it's just a lane on the side of the street. it's not as extensive of disruption. >> are you going to be requiring that the people working on the construction not park their vehicles all daylong in the commercial blocks? we see that so much once again where they just take over the whole area with their equipment, you know, their personal

vehicles and it's very damaging. >> that's a great question. so, there will be specifications in each of the construction contracts than include a lot of provisions about what contractors are and are not allowed to do. one is they're supposed to park off site but i don't want to get the details wrong. i could get back to you with a more definitive answer for you if you like. >> commissioner dwight. >> i'm curious in our outreach, i imagine you spoken with the geary street merchants association. what's your -- what is your rip with that organization? >> so, the project i'm talking about today is for the segment of geary between market. it's west of stanyan street where there's been a lot of conversations with the merchants about the project. in general, there's not that

same concern with this phase of the work which is what i'm working on and leading right now. >> it's all part of the same project, is it not? >> well there are two phases of the project. this phase is moving forward right now and the other phase is just in its preliminary design stage right now. >> all right. commissioner riley. >> yes, on the notification, your 30-day mail notice, i've been to some of the merchants association meetings and one of the most photographic issue noty were sent to the landlord not the business owner them self. they're not aware of the construction going on. how will you address that? >> so we typically send the mailer to the physical address within the corridor. and you are saying that sometimes the person, who should actually know isn't at that physical address? >> i was told the notice was

sent to the owner of the property rather than the business own. so i don't know exactly what happened. they didn't get it. >> what i can tell you is we do a radius within close proximity of the corridor . we rely who is physically at the property to share the information. >> we do send it to the address, not so much of the property owner or the business owner and they also mention that some of the signs we posted on the lamp pole and they were simply stapled to the tree and when it's raining or windy they get blown away and so how do you take care of that? >> the signage is definitely a hot topic and one where we do it we learn something for land a way to do it better but in

general, we don't affix signs to trees. we monitor them regularly in case they get graffiti on them and we do try to print them on a weather protective material or eliminate them so they're not quickly destroyed. >> thank you. >> commission ortiz-cartagena. >> some of the things i'm just going to repeat some of my co commissioners have said to be redundant. so there's several merchant groups effected by this project. which the union square which is larger and not probably in our purview but then there is a small business association from jones to van hess that they migt not have a merchant group and you have a dead zone from van ess to fill more and it might be fillmore to park studio.

they may be more involved and russian, there's chinese, cantonese, and then after the west there's a smarter business corridor to the end of the project so i see some of the merchant associations you have presented to you s there more? is there a more concerted effort to approach all these individual merchant associations? >> we did do the loading survey and went door-to-door to each business f there are other to reach out i would do so. our typical notifications go out in five languages, english, spanish, chinese, vietnamese and russian. >> just for a recommendation, because i've been part of several projects, so it's a lot easier for me, the cultural lens is latino and spanish.

you encompass multi-cultural, multi-merchants capacity so i would definitely recommend not necessarily like a couple of my commissioners said not going to the person at the store, because they might be an employee and they mighting concerned about their loading but to the owner so they can support this and mitigate this. what is the percentage of the mitigation of the over all project to small businesses? >> i don't know the answer to that. >> ok. >> just, again, i'm going to repeat just redundancy. over communicate. we would like to know the all over budget from last mitigation to the small businesses in the project. in the mission it's about 3% in some of the projects that that could be good to communicate to some of the small businesses what the set aside is for loss mitigation. thank you. >> any other commissioner

questions? we're going to open up it 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 say discussion item so our last -- anybody else have anything else. i just want to -- i want to echo what everybody said with commissioner ortiz-cartagena over communicate with the business owners. there will be an ombudsmen or a manager there so if someone has someone to call if there's a problem where someone can't access a business or delivery or something. >> the phone number i put up on the slide. if will be up there again. that number will be active throughout construction. any time there's work happening out of business hours, someone will pick up and be able to quickly work to resolve any

issues. >> ok. and then i know i see it on van ice where you have signs that come out and solicit the business, you will do that on gary as well. >> any other questions. >> no, and commissioners, what i'll do is i'll forward over your comments to ensure follow-up. >> thank you for the work. appreciate the reach out to the small business community. thank you. >> next item, please. >> item 5. directors report. update and report on the office of small business. and the small business department program and and legislative matters, announcements from the mayor and regarding small business activities. discussion item. >> commissioners, so, i am going

to just as a matter of procedure, just continue because we get the weekly report in terms of the number of checklist that's have been submitted and or information that's been submitted to the department of building inspection with the accessible business interest in terms of what's been filed. again, you know, just right now, we have exemptions in category ones which is the first deadli deadline. it makes sense that we see more numbers in those top two catagories. and for the legacy business, so the july 10th, at the last meeting, i reported we would finalize the selection of the logo for the legacy business program. we've narrowed it down. at the next meeting, we will

definitely then make the final selection and also start having discussion around colors for the logo and the program. to date, we have six businesses that have applied for the business assistance grant and again, that grant application period is open until september 30th for all businesses on the legacy legacy business registry. in late august, early september, they will print staff recommendations to you for approval for how a recommendation on allocation of funding into the two grant programs. starting this fiscal year and moving forward, we will now need to do specific allocations into each grant program and be working specifically with those allocations. for the first two years, we knew

that we had enough funding to fund a request so this year we will be needing to ensure that, especially with the rent stablation grant, there are the ability to have the property owner continue to reapply for the grant for those that have leases. we'll present our budget recommendation on this in terms of how we allocate the million dollars that have been applied towards that grant program. and then, i've highlighted a couple pieces of legislation that had been referred to the commission and that is planning codes establishing the indian bay sin special use district and the development agreement. i'm not so sure that i spoke to president adams about this but

as to whether the commission would want to take a fiscal action on the entire thing. i think the informational briefing might be interesting for the commission to have as this in addition other areas of the city where we are creating brand new neighborhoods and so i did speak with the sponsor -- or the project manager in oewd and she is interested in really coming before the becaus commisn because she has questions. obviously, the purview is the business side of what is being developed. so i mean, actually i shouldn't actually limit it to that. since housing is a big issue for small businesses for their employees, that can be another item that can be discussed.

i talked to anne and i think we're looking at the last meeting in august, the 23rd, i believe it is. or the 27th. and then supervisor, i hope at next meeting to have supervisor safai separation compliance and then the follow-up for this three pieces of legislation that you heard back in june. they all were heard at land use, two of them there were changes and one with the catering, supervisor safai took both the commission's recommendation and the planning commission's recommendation to apply it city wide. and then for the zoning controls, there were some changes there so it's being

heard again today in committee that is parallel with our meeting right now but moving forward as a committee report. so those three items will be heard tomorrow at the board of supervisors. and the third one was the single-use wears plastics. and then, forward to the commission are several ballot measures. the timing of getting those items heard through the board of supervisors committee in time for them to be on the ballot sort of pro concluded my ability to have them scheduled. because they are business and tax measures we'll still schedule information hearings on them. especially if they get moving forward out of the board of supervisors to put on the ballot. and then under new business, i have -- last week or last meeting, i provided you with the

list. so i have now prioritized, based upon what my bandwidth will be. moving forward with the presentations for you and so we had, for the cannabis, there was an interesting in getting an update on the equity program so that was provided today in conjunction with the cb3p recommendation. next we'll work on the construction mitigation. that request then august 27th, i'm targeting, i think it will be ready for the tobacco with b.pd.p.h. and other tobacco regulations in conjunction with that. and then soft story and planning determination on online retailers sort of to have a presentation september or october and then october work on

d.p.w. public work fees, commercial ownership, a november meeting and still want to work on -- still need to figure out how we're going to work with this with you as to whether we do a series of presentations but that one there's definitely ownership -- definite interest in us developing a program of us just putting in writing and making a nice package of how to do it. and to amending the condo laws so that we can allow for commercial condoization without effecting the rental units above and mixed-use buildings to making perhaps a recommendation to have some kind of program to assist with purchasing for

first-time commercial owners. so -- for the commission secretary position will be finalizing the review of the applications this week and we'll start first round of interviews late next week or the first week in august. i have provided just a list of our outstanding minutes just so that we're all aware of what works still needs to be done in relationship to that. >> do you think we'll have a commission secretary by the end of the year? >> definitely. i'm hoping no later than the end of september. >> perfect. >> thank you. >> any questions for director? >> were any of our recommendations taken into consideration for the sing of-use food ware.

we asked items to be charged to the department. >> i will need to review that. so, yeah. i will review that and get back to you. >> do any of the members like to make comment on the comments. seeing none, public comment is closed. any other commissioner questions? seeing none. next item, please. >> item 6, commissioners' reports allows president, vice president and commissioners to report on recent small business activities and make announcements that are of interest to the small business community. discuss item. >> i was at mayor breed poll z i'm going to give a hand ouout here. what we have submitted to the

mayor -- sorry. and one of the things that we went over with her and i was going to be very brief is what we just talked about earlier this afternoon. street improvement and maintenance disrupting businesses, m.t.a. measures impacting access to neighborhood corridors, homelessness in the lack of clean streets, time requirements for permitting in the city compared to other municipalities, vacant store fronts. the high cost of doing business while competing with online businesses, lack of public safety presence, which supports merchant corridors. lack of preference for local small business for firms to compete with city contracts. lack the work-force training for non trade positions like restaurant and service

industries. access for disadvantaged and under-served communities. a lot of things. we also included in there lbes be exempt from the labor agreements and that threshold should be moved up to $20 million if not higher. at of things but a lot of things we hear from the general public and a lot of things that we talk about here in our own meetings. i think it's a good template. it's a good move forward. the mayor definitely is willing to listen to us and work with us. so that's what i have. >> commissioner dwight. >> since our last meeting i attended the legacy business branding meeting. and i also attend the monthly cdma meeting which i did on jul.

>> thank you. >> commissioner riley. >> yes , i attended ape workshop july 16th in chinatown along with director jersey. i think d.b.i. did a good job of outreach and promoting this workshop. there was standing-room only after we started. i think there might be an opportunity for another workshop to educate merchants and business owners in chinatown. i think this is the -- we're getting their attention that this is an important issue. that's it. thank you. >> any other commissioner comments? we have any members of the public who would like to comment on commissioner comments? seeing none, public comment is closed. new business. do we have any items for new

business? >> director makes a presentation about office of small business and the small business commissioner. so, hopefully we'll get a lot more business. thank you. >> any new business? do we have any members of the public who would like to comment on new business? seeing none public comment is closed. >> sfgovtv show the office of small business slide. it is our customs to begin and end each small business commission meeting with a reminder the office of small business is the only place to start your new business in san francisco. the office of small business commission is the official public form to voice your opinions and concerns about policies that effect the effect vitality of small business this is san francisco. if you need assistance with your small business, and any small business matters, it's free and start here at the office of

small business. >> had next item. >> item 8 adjournment. action item. >> move to adjourn. >> second. >> all in favor. aye. >> passes 7-0. meeting is adjourned at 3:15p.m.

>> this job, it's really not an i job. i wouldn't be able to do this job without other people. i make sure that all the regulatory and nonregulatory samples get to access in a timely manner. we have groundwater samples, you name it, we have to sample

it every day. i have ten technicians, very good team. we work together to attain this sampling. >> a sample is only as good as when you collect properly. if sample is not collect properly according to not the proper protocol, the sample could be biased, could be false positive or could be false negative. so all this to have good so you can manage the sample collectors, as well as the schedule, and she is pretty good, and she is very thorough. and so far, i think that she is performing a very good job. >> this job is really not an i job. i wouldn't be able to do this job without my team. you can assign them any job, they can handle it, and again, without them, i wouldn't be here. i take pride, you know, for

what i do. we are providing a very good water department. my name is roselle, and i have been working with the water >> good morning, everyone, the meeting will come to order. welcome to the july 25th, 2018, regular meeting of the public safety and neighborhood services committee. i am supervisor rafael mandelman, chair of the committee. to my right is vice chair

district. and there's an interest to work with our arts and culture committee to create additional art pieces in the space to celebrate filipino culture. we're excited that the executive order bar and lounge has committed to hosting six annual pop-up dinner for aspiring filipino food businesses and to explore the commissary for the kitchen for growing food businesses and the hopes for our pastry chefs to provide baked goods for his daily coffee program. we're hopeful that the executive order lounge will continue to contribute to creating a lively commercial corridor for the cultural district and creating commercial corridors is one of our top challenges for the cultural district because we're so large. and yet we have no economic base. and we're hoping that more business owners like john sanchez will come to the table and to help us to develop that and we hope that you support his liquor license transfer. thank you. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. any other members of the public who would like to speak before

incorporated was selected to submit an on-sale general license application for la puesta del sol cantina at 3414 judah street. this resolution before you today is put on record that the product sponsors conducted a community meeting about the proposed restaurant in which we are aware that six members of the community participated. we are hopeful that this proposed restaurant if established will bring more vibrancy to the judah street neighborhood corridor. thank you for consideration in advance. thank you. >> supervisor mandelman: we are joined by supervisor yee. >> thank you, chair and members of the committee. good morning. i am with the economic workforce development, just to provide a very brief sort of overview of this process. this is a unique process to san francisco and something that

this is now the fourth time that this type of resolution has been considered by the board this year. in 2016, the state legislature adopted sb1285, authored by then senator leno to create a new affordable, nontransferable restaurant liquor license for businesses located in some target commercial corridors, including the sunset, excells your and ocean avenue, and visitation valley, hopefully i mentioned all of them. and there are five licenses that were up for issuance in an application process and drawing that happened late last year. again, this is the fourth of those five to come forward for a certification of the completion of preapplication outreach. so this is before the consideration of the full liquor license application by the a.b.c. and the potential applicant who is selected from that drawing process has to send a mailing 14 days in advance of

a community meeting to residents within 500 feet of the proposed business location. and then 14 days hold that community meeting and then submit evidence of the completion of that meeting to the board and for this committee. i attended the meeting last month and i believe that all of the relevant documents are in your packet and i think that maybe it's time to invite up colin o'malley, one of the partners from la puesta del sol cantina to talk about that outreach. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. >> hello, i'm colin o'malley and my partner is john brendan. we have applied and we're lucky enough to be selected to obtain one of these new licenses in the city. all three of us met on the sunset and i'm about four blocks away and i cover ortega and we wanted to have something in the neighborhood. we do own bars in downtown san francisco and we have about 50 years of experience between the three of us. we have been doing this for
