issue of the svindal services in the day center that we may want to also be looking at some of that and possibly that might call for a delay if we can understand more of that and i think that we certainly want to give every opportunity to see that the health care of the community is in fact enhanced rather than reduced by the proposals that you have brought to us. >> yes, and as i think you know, august 21st is in the middle of a very busy week for us, because we are opening a new hospital on mission bernal on august 25th. i know full attention is going to make sure that goes as smoothly as possible. >> and this commission is very pleased you are hoping that new

hospital for our communities. if there are no further questions, then thank you for coming and to help state what your intents are and we will ask staff to continue to work with you so we could have that as part of our resolution. thank you. >> commissioners, item 11 is other business. i'm just noting that your next meeting is off site. it will be held at the richmond community center at 251 18th avenue. of course we will send that as a reminder to you and give you details about parking and all of that. any other questions about the calendar? any other issues you would like to bring up during this item? okay we will move onto item 12. >> [off mic] >> i'm sorry? item 12 is report back from the july 10th meeting. i believe commissioner sanchez has the notes.

>> thank you. this is the july 10th meeting of the laguna joint cause committee. -- attended even though she had undergone that accident last month but she was there and did want to present the report and we welcomed her back. we also have the 218 san francisco fellows project which did an excellent presentation pertaining to designing the visual board for our nursing hurdles and they presented just basically these were three fellows that were all young women who just did an outstanding job pertaining to working with our nursing staff as they took a look at

different challenges affecting patient care. and it was just extremely well done and everybody gave them a standing round of applause. we also had our lien transformation update, discharge care planning improvement event. we had resident satisfactory survey different from the one taken five years ago. even though there might have been some very negative comments about five years ago, a number of those, or some of those who made those comments were very pleased with the resident family satisfaction survey this time. we wanted to thank the staff and everybody at that point. the committee also approved the hospital-wide policies and procedures, in closed session we approved the credentials report and we adjourned, i believe at 5:30. >> is there any other additions

my colleague would like to make? >> i just wanted to add that it was my first opportunity to attend one of the j.c.c.'s at laguna honda and i was both surprised and pleased, i think, at the staff participation and what seems to be a very, i think, robust desire on the part of what i observed, a robust desire to really sort of bring the hospital into a more high performing and sort of, at the same time, maintain its orientation around a very sort of humanistic care facility for its patients. so to be able to move into

something that requires much more efficiency at the same time, same if not better level of human touch is something that i observed as a sort of dual and laudable goal on the part of the management and the staff that i was able to interact with and observe while i was there. >> thank you. that concludes our j.c.c. report. >> great, we could move onto consideration of closed session item. there's no public comment request for this item. >> okay, a motion is in order to hold a closed session. so moved. second? all in favor say aye. all opposed.

>> when i open up the paper every day, i'm just amazed at how many different environmental issues keep popping up. when i think about what planet i want to leave for my children and other generations, i think about what kind of contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment. >> it was really easy to sign up for the program. i just went online to cleanpowersf.org, i signed up and then started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going switch over and poof it happened. now when i want to pay my bill, i go to pg&e and i don't see any difference in paying now. if you're a family on the budget, if you sign up for the regular green program, it's not going to change your bill at all.

you can sign up online or call. you'll have the peace of mind knowing you're doing your part in your household to help the environment.

healthcare. hiv and std rates in san francisco are particularly and strikingly high were trans women. so we really try to make city clinic a place that strands-friendly trance competent and trans-welcoming >> everyone from the front desk to behind our amazement there are completely knowledgeable. they are friendly good for me being a sex worker, i've gone through a lot of difficult different different medical practice and sometimes they weren't competent and were not friendly good they kind of made me feel like they slapped me on the hands but living the sex life that i do. i have been coming here for seven years. when i come here i know they my services are going to be met. to be confidential but i don't have to worry about anyone looking at me or making me feel less >> a visit with a clinician come take anywhere from 10 minutes if you have a straightforward concern, to over an hour if something goes on that needs a little bit more

help. we have some testing with you on site. so all of our samples we collect here. including blood draws. we sent to the lab from here so people will need to go elsewhere to get their specimens collect. then we have a few test we do run on site. so those would be pregnancy test, hiv rapid test, and hepatitis b rapid test. people get those results the same day of their visit. >> i think it's important for transgender, gender neutral people to understand this is the most confidence, the most comfortable and the most knowledgeable place that you can come to. >> on-site we have condoms as well as depo-provera which is also known as [inaudible] shot. we can prescribe other forms of contraception. pills, a patch and rain. we provide pap smears to women who are uninsured in san francisco residents or, to women who are enrolled in a state-funded program called family pack. pap smears are the recommendation-recommended

comment on something that is not on our agenda today. miss gwen kaplan, come on up. >> gwen cap lynn, north business district business association. so hello, commissioners, and i just wanted to thank you for serving and representing the small business community. it means a lot to everyone. the thing i want to talk about is the possibility of a small business summit or a small business conference, and i'm very much in favor of this. as a matter of fact, the last small business conference that was held in san francisco, i was the president of the commission. and i have to say, it was a big success. it fit our agenda, it brought a lot of attention to our business, our problems, our challenges, and the things we can do particularly to get the

attention of the department heads, and the mayor and the mayor's staff. so that is what i am here to talk about in public comments. >> okay. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> do we have any other members of the public that would like to comment about something that is not on today's agenda? welcome. >> well, i'm getting some smiles. that's a good start. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. i'm peter, king of masterpiece theater. and actually, i've stopped in to see an immigration meeting, but there's no one there. i thought well, it's all about business, one level or another. and, you know, california, we're the most powerful state in the world. we're the most powerful state on the planet, and if we would just get the rainbow warriors and the rest of us with true hearts together, we'd be standing upon granite. and i was given a mission with

a cosmic position in the celestial position to do the best i know how to bring people together for the most beautiful thing that ever will be, the most beautiful thing that ever we'll see, which is the 40-day freedom strike prophecy. and it's scheduled for this full moon. it's going to be our high noon. and it's a matter of people getting together to change the weather forever. they say israel's the promised land, but it's true, but it's not a spec of dust across the sea. it has another name, ariel, which represents the world. california represents the world, and northern california is it. we are the heart and soul and center of the new promised land to be that must be opened up by the new 40 day strike prophecy. where we pay no mortgage, pay no rents, pay no more to the justice system.

the government servants, they're not serving us, and it's time to know that we're all tired of being divided by cultures, by colors, by ethnicity, by causes. but the issue is all the same. we've been a nation serving two masters that maintain all disasters, which is why we knew see the third past with the iron rod of god with all these fires against the great state of california. i am peter, and i'm here to say that the prophecy includes the 40 day strike which breaks free from the blood flow, which is the industry of oil, which is the industry of slaughter house, which will be kind forever from the whale to the mouse. and i can solve any problem, homelessness, jobs, anything.

it's a piece of cake after this 40 day strike because one of the many things that'll happen is we will look each other in the eye after not paying anything, and we'll pay 25% of what our mortgages and rents were before, which just opened up 340,000 new jobs in california, because we can go to a 20 hour workweek. this is for all the immigrants, so we can change it for the better. i can say it because the authority is mine, and thank you for the authority of blessing me with your time. >> thank you very much. do with we have any other members of the public that would like to comment on some things that are not on today's agenda. >> i am carlos gomez. i am here mostly to reinforce what he was talking about in reference to working with the small business summit. i think it's really important because the last one that we were able to work more together

and represent and supporting more small businesses. so i just want to make sure we go on the same page and make sure we include that so we have better representation of the small business organizations. thank you. >> awesome. thank you. do we have any other members of the public that would like to comment on something that's not on our agenda today, either in prose or rhyme? >> i'm not that eloquent. steven cornell, counsel of merchants. i did also what carlos and gwen would say. i was at that summit quite a few years ago. i thought it was quite good and i got a lot out of it, and i'd like to urge you to go forward with it. thank you. >> okay. thank you. do we have any other performers out there, any other member of the public that would like to comment or perform on something that is not on today's agenda.

the applications were reviewed by me for completion and submitted to planning department staff on july 10 for their review. historic preservation commission heard the applications on august 1 and made positive recommendations to the small business commission. both applicants you have been provided a staff report, a 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. item 3-a is balance owe acafe. the business is a restaurant -- balboa cafe. the business is a restaurant that opened in 1913 despite a sign above the door that says 193. originally a working man's saloon with a saw defendant floor serving sandwiches in the corner. it's been operating

continuously for 105 years in the cow hollow neighborhood. the business has become more sophisticated over the years. in 1980, famous chef dangjerem tower came on for years helping to establish a proper bar menu. in 1986, gavin newsom's group being required the calf eye. the menuwas overhauled but still features the balboa burger. behind the mahogany bar, the bartenders still mix the featured like manhattans and martinis but still feature classic cocktails. the second is hayes street grill. it was established in 1979 in hayes valley whi hayes valley while davies hall

was under construction. the restaurant was successful from the beginning, serving both lunch and dinner to the performing arts and civic center communities. the business was founded on the principle of supporting local farmers, food producers and suppliers and presenting personal attention to its customers. in 1982, the grill expanded to the building next door. two of the founding parlt ners are still owners today, richard sander and patricia unterman who continue to operate hayes industrial grill. both businesses received a positive recommendation from the historic preservation commission. staff finds the businesses have met the three criteria to qualify for listing on the legacy business registry. there are two draft resolutions for consideration, one for each of the legacy business registry

applicants. note that a motion in support of the businesses should be a motion in favor of the resolutions. in the resolutions, please pay close attention to the core physical features or traditions that define the business. once approved by the small business commission, the businesses must maintain these physical features or traditions in order to remain on the legacy business registry. for balboa cafe, it's restaurant and bar, and for hayes street grill, it's restaurants. this concludes my presentation. i'm happy to answer any questions. i believe -- i know there are business representatives in attendance, and they may wish to speak to you on behalf of their application. >> commissioners, any comments before we go to public comment? all right. do we have any members of the public that would like to comment or representatives from the businesses that would like to comment today? come on up. don't be shy. is that you, lance?

i saw you in the picture there, and i -- you know, i -- it feels unusual to be on this side of the wooden bar from you. i have been to balboa cafe more times that i can even remember. no -- no comment, lance? nothing on behalf of balboa cafe? come tell us how long you've been there at least. you're not a legacy, but -- [inaudible] >> 20 years now at the balboa cafe, tending bar, and add it is a unique privilege to watch the comings and goings of this f fabulous city. it's a fabulous institution and great place and plate stop in and have some burgers with us. >> you have a -- and please

stop in and have some burgers with us. >> anyone else? seeing any further public comment, we'll turn it over to the commissioners. any public comment? >> through the vice president, just want to review the hayes street grill resolution. i think the physical features and traditions, we might have the wrong thing listed. so i just want to make note on the record to have it reflect what you presented. >> we have a cut and paste error? core physical features for hayes street grill, there's a restaurant. that's what i have in the resolution. is that what you mean? >> the draft resolution -- i have physical features and traditions that define the business, and then it has a -- looks like a listing of

magazines or press that they were featured in, unless i -- >> okay. wait a minute. >> sorry about that, rick, but i just want to make sure that we don't have to come back for -- >> oh, okay. yes. yeah, that is -- those are -- i did copy the wrong set. that's the publications that they were in, so i can replace that with the bullet points from the h.p.c. >> okay. >> but the one right below that that says restaurant, that is correct. so we can note for the minutes. >> good catch. >> thanks for catching that. >> so just with the approval from the commission, just to note the amended -- or reflecting the correction for

the resolution for hayes street grill. >> well, i will chime in on behalf of president adams. i know he was instrumental on getting balboa cafe involved in the process of becoming a legacy business and on the registry. he was unable to be here today, but i'm here he would be very profuse in his beiaccolades fo the balboa cafe, in addition to the hayes street grill. these are great nutritions. any other comments? commissioner. >> i've been to both restaurants, and i like the food, and i like the service, so i might bump into you one of these days. >> some of the friendliest bartenders in town.

all right. if there's no other comments, do i have a motion. >> i will move to approve both the balboa cafe and the hayes grill. >> i second. >> okay. we have a motion -- >> i can just make sure we reflect the motion correctly with the amendment. >> with the amendment. >> with amendment to the bullet points on the hayes street grill. >> motion by commissioner yee riley, seconded by commissioner corvi. we'll do a roll call. [roll call] >> clerk: motion passes, 5-0, with two absent. >> awesome. [applause] >> thanks for coming out, lance. i don't go there on friday and saturday nights anymore, but if you're ever serving breakfast on sundays, that's when i go

now with my wife. >> a lot's changed. >> yeah. all right. next item, please. >> clerk: item four, review and develop recommendations to the small business and jobs executive summary. small business and jobs executive summary was created from a july 14, 2018 policy summit held by mayor breed. the office of small business is to provide the mayor with a set of recommendations. discussion and possible action item. >> so commissioners, just to, again, give context and format, so the mayor held a policy summit on many different topics, but one of them was small business and jobs. commissioner adams attended, and i also would like to just recognize sunshine powers -- sunshine, can you -- who is a hayes street merchant and also on the -- is it copresident of the hayes street -- vice

president of the haight street merchants association. and sunshine or sunny presented on behalf of the business community to the mayor on sort of the final priority. so i just want to make sure that if there's any questions about the summit and what was discussed, you also have sunshine here to be able to ask questions to, as well. so the context that we have been given direction from the mayor's office is -- and it wasn't individual tot office -- to the office of small business, but it was sent to the office of small business as well as other departments was to respond to the recommendations. so it is in essence, a majority of the response, if we were a

regulatory agency, how would we address these concerns? but because we're not a regulatory agency, we don't necessarily oversee or regulate many of the issues that were identified from the small businesses -- or that core -- that section, then -- but are there things that we could do or very specific recommendations that we can make to the mayor to -- and/or help sort of set some recommended priorities of things to address? so because the executive summary was what was sent out, it is to your prerogative as to whether or not -- and i've -- and for the public and for the commissioners, i've just -- i took a quick -- a quick attempt at sort of proposing ways in way the commission could set

some recommendations. i hope -- i sent out the survey from this. from this is what got condensed into the executive summary, so hopefully, you took time to be able to read the summary to also sort of pull items that you think are priorities but i think, you know, mr. vice president, if the best way is to -- what i did was sort of take a -- try to divide it up between small business and jobs and then -- small business and jobs. and then, what were the challenges, and then, a section on ideas and best practices. and so we could take it item by item? some of these items listed have some overlap as i see it, but as street improvement,

maintenance, disruption, disrupting businesses, and then, also sfmta impacting access to neighborhood corridors. so a couple recommendations that i, you know, have made is small business commission can draft resolutions requesting the mayor or the board of supervisors or departments to take action, and so that's one particular action that the commission and the office can do? a recommendation is also for the mayor to issue some executive directives. and so one -- an example of the fire item is requiring departments that are involved in infrastructure projects to include funding for construction mitigation in the project. also to include a directive to oewd and o.s.c. to develop some

baseline in what should be involved in construction mitigation. also, staging and contractor parking is always a big topic, so directing departments to work with their contractors in minimizing the amount of staging and parking taking up on our neighborhood commercial corridors. and then, you know, sort of taking a look at what has happened with central subway that if -- to bring in -- and this is an example. you're not obligated to adopt it. but if there is an error and a delay created as a result of a contractor's responsibility, that in the contract, there is a formula of which, then, they also need to pay into

construction mitigation funds to help -- to help keep funding the mitigation efforts for those small businesses during the extended time frame that is to, umm, complete the construction project. also, taking a look at the small business round tables, their summary of priorities, the office of small business can develop some recommended set of procedures for early engagement for the mayor to include in its executive directive and also to provide support for supervisors. and then, the last item under number one is small business commission can draft a resolution for presentation to the board of supervisors requiring that the county transportation authority staff to include -- excuse me, i didn't complete this -- in its budget construction mitigation

funding. and the reason i have that in there is in support of supervisors is the governing body to the sfmta. if the mayor executed an executive directive as to whether the transportation authority's mandated to follow that executive directive or takes it as an optional, so just to ensure that there's -- we're dealing with it on both sides. so i -- so i -- i -- i guess we can either go down bullet point by bullet point, and if there are ideas of which you think the office and the commission can take to deal with each item that's listed in the executive summary, we can do that. if you want to take public comment to hear some direction, we can do that, as well.

>> yeah. i'll defer to the other
