i've learned that mrs. fong was like a second mother to him and she just recently passed away on march 28th. she was 91 years old. she was born into a family with a lot of siblings. she married at a young age. she always remained strong ties but she had a baby and the baby died. she's survived by 18 nieces and nephews services and funeral will be held tomorrow and just wanted to let supervisor yee to know our thoughts and prayers are with him >> thank you and similar to the last requests i'm hoping we can all sponsor that. >> today, i'm introducing resolutions which expands 70s for state and public workers. and assembly bill that expands cancels exciting hiring policies that contract with the state. members of the state may remember that 45 other cities and counties passed this legislation by removing the convictions and delaying the criminal background check until later stages in the hiring process. we know that many of the men and women who are released from prison are having problems getting jobs. and they're

mr. herrera's office for statement of economic interest and other documents, i did receive -- so, i was in communication with jack fong. i made it as an immediate disclosure request. mr. song said that it was potentially -- i think he called it voluminous and burdensome. ~ anyway, it was pushed out to the regular 10-day deadline, which was fine also. none of this is too pressing. forgive me, this is my first foray into communicating directly with city government. so, i mean, this is one example. i don't know if you can see this or if you want to see it, but you know, these are his statements of economic interest. and that's the cover page. so, my initial complaint about these and [speaker not understood] to mr. song is they're really not legible. i don't think they serve the purpose for which they were intended if you can't read them. if i can get to a page where -- this is some serious chicken scratch here, in my humble opinion. and, so, in my response to mr. song, i had requested that i receive this information in a legible form. and, so, that's that. i can't read these. so, and that's true for most of these until,

mr. sanchez. >> thank you, with the planning department. commissioner fong in response to your question, i could not locate any additional formation -- information from the building permit. both did very clearly indicate that the building permit application was approved by the department as a retail store and actually that was just handed a copy of the original permit. i put it on the overhead which shows the retail store which was on the letter which was approved and what perceived the cfc application. getting into this question about how do we apply sections 780.3 and i believe that a reasonable interpretation is a question that in making this determination in interpreting last use to be the last legal use could possibly be the only legal use as a property retail store and again i have concerns about the implications of having a broad interpretation of last use and think that it could very well encourage people to encourage a legal use something that is not a serving use and it wasn't last occupied by a neighborhood serving use therefore we can convert to

mr. sanchez an opportunity to give his interpretations. >> i certainly agree that that legislation is confusing and i agree with commissioner fong's argument that the business was never a non-conforming business, but it appears from again to studying this statute and looking and that subsection e which we are all looking and at subparagraph 2 under that and i can see that it will be argued both ways. but the logical inference, the more logical and more fairway to interpret the statute is the way we are asking that it be interpreted that simply the change of location within the district, not increasing the number of businesses, not opening another shop but the change of an existing location does not trigger the requirement sections that are argued by the za. the language of the statute isn't very clear about that. but i think it's clear referring to what was just the referred to. there is not a break in continuous operation. it's been operating continuously. >> but it says provided that location. >> i'm trying to make a substance over form argument is that a block 1/2 change because of the requirements of landlord where the character of the
