commissioner dooley? >> yeah. i can't think of two better businesses that contribute more to our community, and they can never be replaced by companies that have headquarters somewhere and just do not reflect the life blood of the community that they're in, and that is something that's so important to us right now in keeping our identity in san francisco. so i congratulate both of you on an honor well deserved. >> commissioner dwight? >> well, i want to thank all four of you for going through the process of becoming a legacy business. i know there's a lot of work to be done, and i know that richard here is a great help going through it. for as long as you're in business, it's so rare that we reflect on our past, because who has time to do that. so forcing yourself to kind of go through the process and document your history, i think is great because it also establishes that sort of living legacy for yourselves and whoever you might pass your business onto. i also appreciate you coming out today. it's great to have

commissioner dooley. >> thank you for your presentation. it was really great and i hope that others in the future -- because there will be others -- will take a page for your book and come to us with the same clear needs. obviously, we've seen this whole story before. we know what happens. you give one person a c.u., they knock maybe six, seven, eight storefronts out. so what kind of bargain is that really? one new store friend versus knocking out and leaving vacant other storefronts. i support your work in this. it really is what makes san francisco unique. we don't need to have the same thing on every corner, even though that pleasure is extremely high. i applaud all of you here for standing up and saying, no, in your own neighborhood. because that's what's counts, is the neighbor and no outside force should be coming in to be that destructive. >> commissioner zouzounis. >> thank you for the presentation. it makes me feel proud to be part of the small business community. i think we can continue to be that advocate. let the supervisors kno

kathleen dooley, 33 years owner of columbine design floral. i have also over the years spent a lot of time working with small business groups, trying to help them survive in this really tough climate. i am currently now also involved and am employed in the cannabis industry, which has just opened up so much education to me and so much information, and i'm very excited to be part of that community now also, and i guess that would be it. >> thank you. steve adams. i started sterling bank and trust in san francisco in 1994. i got into small businesses and advocate for small businesses when i joined the castro merchant in 1997. i've been on their board, and i just recently came off their board. i was on their board for 20 years, from 1998 till 2018, and i served as president for seven years, so i know what it's like to fight neighborhood battles and businesses and retain culture identity when you have gentrification change, and that's what got me really passionate about small business, not only in the castro, but now it's all over the city, and i
