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. women sustainable future . >> san francisco streets and puffs make up 25 percent of cities e city's land area more than all the parks combined they're far two wide and have

large flight area the pavement to parks is to test the variants by ininexpensive changing did new open spaces the city made up of streets in you think about the potential of having this space for a purpose it is demands for the best for bikes and families to gather. >> through a collaborative effort with the department we the public works and the municipal transportation agency pavement to parks is bringing initiative ideas to our streets. >> so the face of the street is the core of our program we have in the public right-of-way meaning streets that can have areas perpetrated for something else. >> i'm here with john francis pavement to parks manager and

this parklet on van ness street first of all, what is a parklet and part of pavement to parks program basically an expense of the walk in a public realm for people to hang anti nor a urban acceptable space for people to use. >> parklets sponsors have to apply to be considered for the program but they come to us you know saying we want to do this and create a new space on our street it is a community driven program. >> the program goes beyond just parklets vacant lots and other spaces are converted we're here at playland on 43 this is place is cool with loots things to do and plenty of space to play so we came up with that idea to

revitalizations this underutilized yard by going to the community and what they said want to see here we saw that everybody wants to see everything to we want this to be a space for everyone. >> yeah. >> we partnered with the pavement to parks program and so we had the contract for building 236 blot community garden it start with a lot of jacuzzi hammers and bulldozer and now the point we're planting trees and flowers we have basketball courts there is so much to do here. >> there's a very full program that they simply joy that and meet the community and friends and about be about the lighter side of city people are more
