local and we conclude the smaller stores are less likely to spend money on local supplies so we have a trade off forming that laid the basis for our conclusion on the other hand, you have a slithering different spending to keep the local dollars local but you have a price effect 0 both of those things go to the economic impact if the prices are higher and consumers spending more money for items in a store they have lass less to spend it's like taking money out of the economy in the same way that formula retail leaks spending out to they are corporation hacked is an economic loss to the city. those are two things we were able to say something about on the question of employment we looked at it and didn't find any systematic thing we have no conclusion on that. and the issue about commercial rent that may be true that commercial rents are slithering lowered by not having formula retail we didn't think f that was clear because we don't know how much rent circulates in the city. if there's a lack of creates a vacancy in which it is making the neighborhood less attractive but if the rents

i think the issue of local jobs and local build-out, we need to have that conversation and maybe come back and see what that looks like. but i think also what is important is to do our plan, for power enterprise and to present it holistically. because some of the development, like we do in ty treasure island is not only commercial, not just the commercial side like hunters point, if we do hunters point we're doing the whole area. so i think we probably just want to kind of identify what it is and how each component could work with it and then talk about the risk profile, if joining marin vs. starting up something like sonoma and have that conversation. so i think one of the things that i wanted to do was just kind of get and talk about how things have moved since we presented something? and i think the census from what i am hearing from these programs is that having a beginning step, where it's meet or beat pg&e is one of the goals of these programs, which our goal was to get the greenest project even though it cost more money. >> i'm still unclear where we're moving. are we moving to

and even eat local, but now there's a growing effort to invest local. financial firms around the country are helping connect investors with local businesses that are hungry for capital but often too small or new to land traditional bank loans. mary snow reports how an increasing number of entrepreneurs are finding the cash they need, and finding it's much closer than they thought. >>> lisa kundsen runs a chicken ranch in california, and last summer found herself in a position that any small farmer would envy. offered a chance to sell chickens and eggs at one of the state's largest farmers markets. but she didn't have the money she needed to scale up production. >> when you have an opportunity to grow and move product, you got to do something. >> so she turned to an unlikely source fo for a $20,000 for 6% interest. her neighbor. >> we sketched' the terms on the back of a napkin. and i knew how great she was. >> we were trying to go back in time where there was a local banker who had known you for your whole life and who knew your business and community.

project, so we've got two local projects. mc owned and they would be partially funded by deep green customers. and there's a description of those there. some other local programs that we offer our customers are a very robust energy efficient program. the energy efficient program that we offer to our customers is funded through the public goods fun. that program was authorized to us by the california utility commission. pg and e offers the same and we're offering something as well. we offer rebates, technical assistance and we're offering an on bill repayment program for our customers who want to implement energy efficient upgrade. that's unique because we've partnered with local bank and they're offering loans for the upgrades and they pay the loan back on our customer bills so increase a direct tide. we also have paid for the fund -- for the installation of electrical vehicle charging. we're offering a battery storage program to our immediate yaum and large commercial customers. we partnered with an organization called bidgl

overwhelm here to say i love sandwiches particularly the local sandwiches her family makes local good sandwiches the bread comes from a local bakery and you understand that people that work are from the community and people are vifrltd in those areas they go to the churches and their children to the schools and fund their nonprofits and make wonderful sandwiches. when i looked at the omission this is in house bakeries that make cheap bread and buy large produce cheap produce and they're not invested in those communities because their ceo's and their presidents don't live in the community their novelist invested in the churches and place reason them. the free market exultant is good but unless it's regulated as commissioners and people of authority it's important i support those local businesses and help them they're the ones is support their local economies and institutions >> thank you. next speaker. >> good evening, commissioners. my name is susan i'm with the independent pet store in the city. and i support supervisor eric mar's one hundred percent first of all, 12 to 20 please kee

that are booksellers in this room who have been at the forefront of creating their local shop local in the committee but that has mushroomed across the country. i know many of you are familiar with the promotion the american express did in november in conjunction with an event that they created calling it small business saturday. did you know that on that single day, on one day, $5.7 billion was spent an independent businesses across the united states. i joke that bookstores got some of it. we didn't get all of it, but it is, it's no longer just the imagination of a few people. the interconnection between local businesses to build community, for those businesses to work together to cross market, to cross merchandise, to come up with ways in which they can get a better response from their consumer, what we know, all the data always shows that if you shop and one independentt business, you're more likely to shop in another independent business. so those partnerships that other local stores pay off and make an incredible difference i think is absolutely at the center of what our members a

we felt the local premium for the local retailers was the generous the largest possible premium to support for the local retailers and we picked that because the data was not directly on point but the best data on the subject but to answer your question yes when you comba compare the net economic impact of a directing spent on formula retail with the same amount costing the consumer more out of the pocket that price difference out weeks ago that we attribute to local railway >> you thought our local rent there was no real evidence about the increased rent with the presence of formula retail stores although you said if there's a 3w4r50ib9d area where there are huge vacancies they went vacant because of the formula retail lack. >> it's no so much we didn't have data although it's true we felt the absence of blight issue it didn't effect the community beyond the local tenant but the suggestion without the formula retails the rent would be lower it didn't necessarily apply plea you there are broader economic benefits in the terms of the prices. >> finally for employment for the amount of sales

the second how much do local versus formula retail spend in the local economy we find consensus data we didn't do any survey but that's ripe for future research but the consensus bureau issued different economic status for single establishment firms versus multi establishment firms. there's some fairly aggregate data on how much those businesses spend open different types of supplies in adhere report we suggest that certain of those supplies are clearly local and we conclude the smaller stores are less likely to spend money on local supplies so we have a trade off forming that laid the basis for our conclusion on the other hand, you have a slithering different spending to keep the local dollars local but you have a price effect 0 both of those things go to the economic impact if the prices are higher and consumers spending more money for items in a store they have lass less to spend it's like taking money out of the economy in the same way that formula retail leaks spending out to they are corporation hacked is an economic loss to the city. those are two things we were able to say so

think ~ ~ demonstrate there is a local need. to go through and be scrutinized around some of those comparisons with small businesses and come out the backside with something that really has a starting point of being wanted by the local community. if you look at where formula retail wants to go, it does not go into a lot of the communities which is the greatest need for jobs or services or retail diversity. they tend to go to places where there's already lots of money and where they can outcompete other business necessarition he. they are not big risk takers. if you're trying to encourage risk taking that goes to compelling business relationships, not whether they have a sea requirement. it is time to update some of the controls. a couple of quick things. concentration analysis is really helpful. formula retailers often want to congregate locally. it is important to recognize whether that's tipping kind of the proper mix. an economic analysis is good. i would say to the chamber's point maybe businesses that are fewer than 20 outl

what really happens for example, in the egging on report it specifics that formula retail will use local sources for accounting and resources and include employment. evidences that formula retail will use corporate offices we're headquarter in san francisco. the egging on report saying about regarding employment that i think he says that because small businesses are generally less efficient they hire foremost small retailers we have the at the end i is to do more ourselves so where instead for ourselves we would hire internal auditors and general managers therefore increase the employment as opposed to a decrease in employment. the other question regarding small retailers vs. ourselves we have a tendency to provide for benefits for our employees the threshold for sick leave and accident told her for family friendly work ordinance we have to comply with the small operator doesn't. i support some points of supervisor mar's proposal but i'll request if in our decision to consider the locally born and raised and operated small business although a chain not really the big box chains received
