public comment. anybody who would like to make public comment on these two legacy business nominations? come on up. this is your chance. >> president, hello. commissioners, it's nice to be here today. my name is carl tata, and i represent marine chartering. as richard mentioned in his presentation, we were founded in 1955, so approaching our 65th anniversary, and we're really proud to have maintained our office for such a long time here in san francisco, and, you know, appreciate also tieing together potential for becoming a legacy company as we had approach that -- that historic milestone. so a little bit about the company. maritime transportation today is -- is -- you know is kind of hard to pin down. people are not really aware of what we do, but to give a little perspective, it's kind of like in the heydays of the company, when we really grew, and we were a very large organization here in san francisco, it was almost like the tech business of the time. there was a lot of transportation. u.s. expo

so members, be sure to make all of your comments prior to public comment. amendments, as the city attorney has previously communicated to the members and to the ethics commission should be in writing and approved by the city attorney. it is expected that no other amendments are expected to be considered except those in writing. it is possible that a proposed amendment may trigger a continuance to a future ethics commission or a board of supervisors meeting. the city attorney will advise on each amendment after it is offered whether it may require a continuance in its status. to the agenda items, there are two files listed on the board agenda. items 42 and 43. item 43 on the board's agenda is identical to the ordinance noticed on the ethics commission agenda. for the purposes of this discussion, item 43 will be used as a starting point as the working document. so both bodies are amending the same document. for the sake of simplicity, the board will not amend item 42 and will either table item 42 or send it to committee at the end of the hearing. regarding pu

another comment? >> yes, one more. >> co-chair blacksten: ok. >> hi, i really want to thank everyone for this terrific presentation and moving forward i think is a great example of that, i have friends that are small business owners and i can sympathize with them the challenges that creating ada access can pose. this is quite a task and it's a very important one. so i'm glad we're having this conversation. i had a few questions. one is what is the process of reporting noncompliant businesses for this program. and how long does the complaint usually take to respond to? and i want to ask as a council member alex pointed out, so keenly, there is fear of backlash here and can that reporting process be done anonymously? another question i had, are automatic doors part of the program? are there any types of businesses that require automatic doors within the program? another question i had is there any process or acquiring accessible bathrooms at these businesses that fall within the scope of this program? a

any other public comment? okay. we're going to go ahead and close public comment. we're going to go to information item number ten, correspondence. staff, heather? thank you. >> there is no correspondence. >> okay. we're going to move onto discussion item number 11, council member comments and announcements, and i believe council member williams has an announcement. >> i do. i'd like you to save two wonderful dates in the month of june. as you know, pride is coming up. our pride week is coming up, and the light house is going to be very involved this year, putting on a wonderful show. last year, we were marching in the parade. it was so much fun, and we thought how wonderful it would be if we invited other members of the disabled community to join us, so it could be as an individual, it could be as a group. so reach out to those associate -- those of you who are associated with community providers in -- with other disabilities. we'd very much like to have us sponsor you going in that parade. we are going to have two events at the light house, one on june 21st. woul

any additional public comment? seeing none, we'll close public comment. did you have a comment, mr. starr? >> i just wanted to elaborate on we got three proposed corrections from supervisor peskin's office this morning. they look to be nonsubstantive, but we haven't had time to evaluate them. they're amending section 121.2, the nonresidential use size limits in nc districts, polk street ncd should be listed under for 2,000 square feet. in there right now, i think it's 3,000 or something, and also under table 723 for polk, it currently says permit up to 1,999 square feet. conditional use for 2,000 to 3,999 square feet, but what's missing from that is not permitted above 4,000 square feet, so the intention was that, and we'll look into that to make sure that the intent was clear. and then under section 178, there's an abandonment period of 18 months that appears in one section of the code but also needs to be repeated in another section of the code, so that's another clarification. >> president hillis: commissioner moore? >> commissioner moore: i have a procedural question, if i can d

seeing no public comment, public comment is now closed. i have been getting a ton of feedback on the mobility management program and the access pass program and there continues to be a lot of concerns for existing residents in particular the low income and are considered market rate and frankly don't make market rate wages. because this program is to many years away from the current date, i imagine that is why the public is not really coming out yet. but just as we continue to move forward, i think that we should really have some income or means programming with the market rate residents as well because market rate covers such a huge range of salaries. we'll see where we are as a city in a number of years, but i think that residents continue to question and bring concerns to our office about what the future of the program is. but we have a lot of time. that being said, i think it's a very interesting program that we are putting together and really looking at innovating on how we pair transit and housing development together. and a little b

starr, any comments? >> i was just going to say, we do have two modifications on it. >> president hillis: and that was one of them? >> no. one of -- they were just clarifying ones. one was to change the january 1st, 2018 date so that hemlock could take advantage of it. there was a miscommunication on that date, so it's more of a drafting error. >> president hillis: and do you have an opinion on the oewd recommendation? >> it really depends on what the community wants in some respects because the one year period allows for atrition, so if someone can't find a spot within one year, then they go out of business and there are fewer alcohol establishments in the district. the three years allows it a little bit more time. less atrition that way. plus, the r.u.d. is only extended for five years. >> vice president richards: so i'd ask the motion maker to amend it to 18 months instead of one year. >> that's okay. hill h>> president hillis: th fine with me, too. >> we also incorporating the modifications to -- prop
