p.c.m. for buzz works. if approved, this would allow them to operate an on-sale. there are zero letters of protest. i understand there are letters of support. they are located on plot 242, considered a high crime area. on census track 1082, considered a high saturation. and a.l.u. recommendation is to approve this license without any new conditions. >> chairman: great. thank you. is the applicant here? >> members of the board, distinguished chair, i'm ladd coupe, and i'm the owner and operator of buzz works. i've been in san francisco and owning a variety of nightclubs and restaurants during the last 30 years. i own "butter," a legacy venue, that has been there for quite a while. i opened up buzz works about four years ago. and we've had seamless

integration and care-free operations. we've been operating as a type 42, which is 21 and up, craft beer sports bar. the only thing that this new application will allow us to do is add a line of craft spirits, in addition to our craft beer offerings, which are the widest variety in the city of san francisco. we look to complement our existing operations, which won't change because we'll still be a 21 and up drinking place. there is really no operational changes needed, other than having an additional line of product. otherwise, you know, we appreciate your support. and we have a lot of support from our neighborhood, from all of the residents. and people who have been patronizing and supporting our operations and our venue for quite some time. and we look forward to moving forward and having a great relationship with san francisco and the a.l.u., and the police department and fire department, as we always have. thank you.

>> chairman: thank you. are there any members of the public who would like to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed. colleagues, my understanding is that supervisor haney is supportive of this application. and i don't see any reason not to make a motion -- or not to therefore direct our clerk to prepare a resolution, finding that this transfer will meet public convenience and necessity, and i will move to forward that resolution to the full board with positive recommendation, and we can take that without objection. great. mr. clerk, please call our next item. >> item 3is an ordinance amending the health code to require the director of health to adopt minimum and healthy standards in adult sex venues, but prohibiting them from adopting -- or regulate doors or mandate unlocked

doors in areas where sexual activity may occur. >> chairman: colleagues, as i indicated earlier, although i am eager to have this item acted on by the full board, as part of the city's response to covid-19, president yee has requested that board members postpone hearings that have large turnouts. so i'm going to be moving to continue this item to a future meeting, on a date to be determined, by the call of the chair. we do need to take public comment on this. are there any members of the public who would like to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed. and so i will move that we continue this call of the chair. we can take that without objection. thank you, colleagues.

mr. clerk, please call our next item. >> agenda item 4 is a hearing to discuss the affects of on--demand delivery and delivery companies on small businesses. >> chairman: similarly, this is an extremely important topic, but in light of the current crisis, and president yee's direction to postpone non-essential legislation are hearings with large public turnout, i'm going to, after taking public comment, move to continue this to the call of the chair. are there any members of the public who would like to speak on this item? so i'll just -- rules in public comment are we allow you two minutes. please state your first and last name. if you have prepared written statements, you're encouraged to leave a copy with the clerk. no applause ar or booing is allowed. >> i will ad lib a small

part of public comment that i feel it is a wonderful topic for you guys to bring up as a member of small business, and seeing the impact of the delivery services have had on myself and neighboring businesses and throughout the city. i think it is time that the city does take some sort of steps to regulate the viral spread of this and its impact. i mean, it's really killing small restaurants and bars and stuff. and it's hurting our bottom lines. they've got no overhead the way we do, and most of them use tactics to take advantage of the businesses that they serve. and it really needs to be really addressed. thank you. >> chairman: thank you. are there any other members -- if there are members of the public that would like to speak on this item, if folks could line up on the far side of the chamber.

>> hi. i heard what you said about the reasons for postponing it, and i thought that might happen today, but i rearranged my whole week to be here today, and i called city hall to find out if this meeting was happening specifically for this item. i'm trying to figure out how in the future to make sure -- i have to get coverage for people at home, so how do i know if an item and the agenda is actually going to be heard, or if it is not, before i come to city hall. is there a way for me to check that before i get here? >> chairman: i answer that -- or try to attempt to answer that after public comment is over. >> thank you very much. >> chairman: are there any other members of the public? you wanted to say the same thing? >> i'm victor eskovito, and we own two restaurants and a food truck. really, this is really affecting us, where location means nothing anymore.

and so there is -- it's a real problem. and it could work. we could make it work, and i think it should be something that we should really address because it is going to put people out of business, and it is really going to change. if you want to attract good chefs to san francisco, they have to start out with a small business and then maybe get hired with bigger restaurants. the whole dynamic of the san francisco culinary culture is going to suffer if this is not really just regulated, and it has to happen. so it would be great to have it really taken seriously. >> chairman: thank you. are there any other members of the public who would like to speak on this item before i close public comment. public comment is now closed. so this is an extraordinary circumstance that we're in. i would say one way to check on whether a hearing is happening is to call the office of the principle sponsor. in the case of on-demand

delivery, perhaps supervisor safai or peskin -- ts office wouldn't necessarily have known these were going to be continued. >> mr. chair, if we do know, we can pass on this information or we can provide more direct contact information of someone who works in the office of the sponsoring supervisor to provide the information. my phone number is also on the front of our agenda. 415-554-4445, and interested constituents can contact me directly from that phone number. >> chairman: thank you, mr. clerk. and the other thing i would say is i would, now for the duration of however long this lasts, i think it is worth, particularly if the agenda item looks like it might be non-essential or something that could be deferred until later, it's worth checking before coming down here because

we are trying to significantly limit members of the public congregating in any of these rooms and potentially spreading covid-19. and, yes, chair ste stephanie? >> thank you, chair manhandlmandelman. if you can't come to the next hearing, you can e-mail us and the clerk and let us know your story and it can be added to the file. i want you to know your voice will be heard no matter what, if you can't make the next hearing date. there are other ways to communicate. i feel this is such an important topic. i would like to be added as a co-sponsor to the hearing, and just know your voice can still be heard if you can't make the next hearing. >> thank you. and i would just like to apologize to the folks who did come down and your voice has been heard, but i hope you'll be able to come to this when it does

eventually happen, when we are on the other side of the curve. mr. clerk, are there any other items before us today? >> you've made a motion to call the chair -- >> chairman: i have made a motion. we'll take that without objection. thank you. >> there is no further business. >> chairman: there is no further business, so we're adjourned. thank you. is -- >> our united states

constitution requires every ten years that america counts every human being in the united states, which is incredibly important for many reasons. it's important for preliminary representation because if -- political representation because if we under count california, we get less representatives in congress. it's important for san francisco because if we don't have all of the people in our city, if we don't have all of the folks in california, california and san francisco stand to lose billions of dollars in funding. >> it's really important to the city of san francisco that the federal government gets the count right, so we've created count sf to motivate all -- sf count to motivate all citizens

to participate in the census. >> for the immigrant community, a lot of people aren't sure whether they should take part, whether this is something for u.s. citizens or whether it's something for anybody who's in the yunited states, and it is something for everybody. census counts the entire population. >> we've given out $2 million to over 30 community-based organizations to help people do the census in the communities where they live and work. we've also partnered with the public libraries here in the city and also the public schools to make sure there are informational materials to make sure the folks do the census at those sites, as well, and we've

initiated a campaign to motivate the citizens and make sure they participate in census 2020. because of the language issues that many chinese community and families experience, there is a lot of mistrust in the federal government and whether their private information will be kept private and confidential. >> so it's really important that communities like bayview-hunters point participate because in the past, they've been under counted, so what that means is that funding that should have gone to these communities, it wasn't enough. >> we're going to help educate people in the tenderloin, the

multicultural residents of the tenderloin. you know, any one of our given blocks, there's 35 different languages spoken, so we are the original u.n. of san francisco. so it's -- our job is to educate people and be able to familiarize themselves on doing this census. >> you go on-line and do the census. it's available in 13 languages, and you don't need anything. it's based on household. you put in your address and answer nine simple questions. how many people are in your household, do you rent, and your information. your name, your age, your race, your gender. >> everybody is $2,000 in funding for our child care, housing, food stamps, and medical care. >> all of the residents in the city and county of san francisco need to be counted in census 2020. if you're not counted, then your community is

underrepresented and will be underserved. .

>> i just feel like this is what i was born to do when i was a little kid i would make up performances and daydream it was always performing and doing something i feel if i

can't do that than i can't be e me. >> i just get excited and my nickname is x usher my mom calls me i stuck out like a sore thumb for sure hey everybody i'm susan kitten on the keys from there, i working in vintage clothing and chris in the 30's and fosz and aesthetic. >> i think part of the what i did i could have put on my poa he focus on a lot of different musical eras.
