you made a motion to move jr a blur for seat one, irma lewis for a seat two, jolene you for c3 and keith goldstein for seat four. without objection, that passes. please read item number three. >> three is a hearing to appoint one member term ending january 6 , 2024, to the small business commission. >> i see commissioner -- i see the commissioner here. would you like to come up and address the board? >> good morning, supervisors. thank you for the opportunity and your consideration. i was born and raised in san francisco in the mission district. i have a passion. i'm a small business owner myself and just knowing the intricacies of real small businesses, especially businesses of color, minorities, we have a moral -- we have a challenge especially if english is not your language of birth.

we do not get the same opportunities. having an advocate the looks like the people we serve is very important, especially as it comes to the permitting process in san francisco. during my 10 year, i was part of digitizing the san francisco business registration process, which should be something in san francisco we should be leading the way, but it wasn't. through my 10 year, i have done that. i have spee-5 spares -- personally started an initiative which will get set in 2020 where we go paperless. no more stacks of paper when we or get all the pamphlets. i'm implementing tablets. those are the little things, but my countless work, you know, i know every single business in the bayview, in the mission, i don't know maybe as much as you, supervisor mar, but they know me when people have problems, they call my cell phone at whatever time. it takes years for commissioner to build up the relationship and understand the intricacies of how to open a business in san francisco. it has taken a very long time to get to this point where we are

able to help the community navigate crazy business processes. little things like that matter in a city that they always say small business is our backbone, but people worked here because -- moved to because of the flavour of our city and our small businesses. i represent that. i am honoured for your consideration for another term as the office of small business commissioner. thank you. >> thank you so much. i wanted to thank you for all your work as the one who recruited you to move into this rollback in my legislative age days. it has been such a pleasure to watch you shine on this commission. you truly are a commissioner of the people and are so available, not only to supervisors when we

have questions, but to business owners and helping them navigate what has become a byzantine process. we have a lot of work to do to write i think what i think we have done wrong in terms of making it virtually impossible to open a small business. as you said, many business owners go broke before they ever open. that is upsurge. we are happy to change that. it is certainly something that i am looking into and that i know many of you on the small business commission, together with been blame and who is an entertainment commissioner, but also a small business owner, are looking to all the small business owners to help small businesses and that is a phenomenal idea. i think it is way overdue and i wanted to express my gratitude to you for all of your hard work >> thank you. it means a lot. >> of course. any other comments? thank you.

thank you so much. >> thank you, supervisors. >> is there any member of the public to speak -- who wishes to speak, now is your time. public comment is closed. i would be happy to do the honours of making a motion to reappoint william to seat three of the small business commission seeing no objection, that motion passes you nonthem as they -- that motion passes unanimously. >> item four is a resolution reparenting -- appointing harlan kelly junior for a four year term ending june 30th, 2023, as the director of san francisco bay area regional water system financing authority. >> would anyone like to speak? public comment is closed. supervisor mar? >> i would move that we recommend reappointment of harlan kelly as a director of

the san francisco bay area regional water system financing authority. >> without objection, that motion passes. is there any other items? >> that concludes the agenda for today. >> fastest rules committee meeting of the year. the meeting is adjourned. sustainability mission, even

though the bikes are very minimal energy use. it still matters where the energy comes from and also part of the mission in sustainability is how we run everything, run our business. so having the lights come on with clean energy is important to us as well. we heard about cleanpowersf and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. it was super easy to sign up. our bookkeeper signed up online, it was like 15 minutes. nothing has changed, except now we have cleaner energy. it's an easy way to align your environmental proclivities and goals around climate change and it's so easy that it's hard to not want to do it, and it doesn't really add anything to the bill.

>> i just wanted to say a few words. one is to the parents and to all of the kids. thank you for supporting this program and for trusting us to create a soccer program in the bayview. >> soccer is the world's game, and everybody plays, but in the united states, this is a sport that struggles with access for certain communities. >> i coached basketball in a coached football for years, it is the same thing. it is about motivating kids and keeping them together, and giving them new opportunities. >> when the kids came out, they had no idea really what the game was. only one or two of them had played soccer before. we gave the kids very simple lessons every day and made sure that they had fun while they were doing it, and you really could see them evolve into a team over the course of the season. >> i think this is a great opportunity to be part of the community and be part of programs like this. >> i get to run around with my other teammates and pass the ball. >> this is new to me. i've always played basketball or

football. i am adjusting to be a soccer mom. >> the bayview is like my favorite team. even though we lose it is still fine. >> right on. >> i have lots of favorite memories, but i think one of them is just watching the kids enjoy themselves. >> my favorite memory was just having fun and playing. >> bayview united will be in soccer camp all summer long. they are going to be at civic centre for two different weeklong sessions with america scores, then they will will have their own soccer camp later in the summer right here, and then they will be back on the pitch next fall. >> now we know a little bit more about soccer, we are learning more, and the kids are really enjoying the program. >> we want to be united in the bayview. that is why this was appropriate >> this guy is the limit. the kids are already athletic, you know, they just need to learn the game. we have some potential

college-bound kids, definitely. >> today was the last practice of the season, and the sweetest moment was coming out here while , you know, we were setting up the barbecue and folding their uniforms, and looking out onto the field, and seven or eight of the kids were playing. >> this year we have first and second grade. we are going to expand to third, forth, and fifth grade next year bring them out and if you have middle school kids, we are starting a team for middle school. >> you know why? >> why? because we are? >> bayview united. >> that's right. >> this is the regular meeting of the commission on community investment and infrastructure
