my name is catherine and i am from the office of the david chiu who is the supervisor sponsor. as a business honor, and he has been focused on policies and legislation that will streamline the requirements that small businesses have to comply with. the legislation is one part of these efforts. for the past year, we have been working with the tax collector and city attorney and departments on a project to consolidate annual business. it is commonplace for businesses to receive multiple bills for the licenses they hold. this situation is confusing and inefficient. the proposed legislation will enable a consolidated bill to licensees and establishes march as the due date for all fees collected. they have to post the amount of fees on their website. it is not increase any fees. the ordinance up dates as stated licensing provisions in the codes and clarifies the manner that penalties apply to delinquent accounts without changing the amount of the penalty. all of these changes will result in easier compliance and enhanced enforcement for the city. also better management of delinquent

we were prohibited from reading the 14 pages of revisions that were introduced by supervisor david chiu in land use committee that changed the contract. we were not aware of the fact that there is a memo included in the legislation and the memo refers to $50,000 to be given to a project in supervisor carmen chiu's district. it is on muni stationery written by employees, and is a supplemental money. however, nowhere in the documents posted online and did this ever surfaced. that is alarming and disturbing. one of the things i did not mention in my letter, i think an investigation is warranted because i think it is a conflict of interest for that legislation to have been included within the development agreement that the donor of the money tremendously stands to gain hundreds of millions of dollars because it was an improved proposal. [chime] it is a conflict of interest. thank you very much. >> next speaker, please. >> i am with the neighborhood association, chairman of the public safety committee. who like to bring before you a transit issue that has gotten much worse in the last year b

i'm a big fan of this and i have been gratified in working with david chiu on this incredible experiment that i think is going to prove very successful. and the great thing about it is that the inertia is coming from residents themselves. they're willing to offer up very positive way their own spaces they have been competing for every single night to be able to use car sharing as a philosophy. i think that will come into very good practice, as has been with our own city fleet. i want to congratulate david for working with city government and all of the agencies here and also with city car share to have a great partner in doing this. >> thank you, mayor lee, and thank you for a way in mentioning my marital status in a way that will stress out my mother. i also want to echo one thing mayor lee just said, for folks who have to own cars in san francisco, they may ask what is the benefit of on street car sharing for them. for every car we put on the street, we are taking every car off the street. we're making it easier for everyone to find parking spaces. i also want to mention in the past co

the title is "david chiu, zoning legislation moving forward hearing today with no public our treach." in relating to chinatown, this will impact chinatown greatly, could delete the small business community. chinatown has the highest density of commercial areas in the city. this legislation calls for the beginning of housing in the chinatown area, the requirement of providing recaps screenings. i have no idea why rooftop screening is a priority. and the article basically talks about people getting blindsided by the legislation. also, the impact. there are lots of plastic awnings. i think when legislators are pushing for legislation, we teen -- we need to know what are the impact in the community. i am talking about the first time we heard about this was in may, over half a year. people got to know about it through the newspaper. so i think we need to
