supervisor mar: next speaker, but i know that there is jerry garcia day and another event that his formal? supervisor cohen: it is on the side. supervisor mar: can we have the small business commissioner? janet clyde? >> good afternoon, supervisors. thank you very much. first, as a small-business owner, i have a small business in north beach. i can tell you that our business improves from the wednesday and thursday before these large festivals, and does not stop until the monday and tuesday after. we have a significant, city-wide small business tourism impact that is felt because of these multiple festivals. that is my small business commissioner have that i would like to speak out as a parent. i have an 18-year-old daughter that grew up on power to the people. is where she learned her skills, her social skills with her peers and where she learned to behave out in large club -- large crowds and in public. she and her friends are all college students now. her friends are in montreal and hong kong, where 18-year-old are legally recognized as adults. her experiences attending these festivals
