>> commissioners, rob black. thank you for the opportunity to speak today. you have heard from the proponents of this ordinance that businesses are not complying with the spirit of the law by allowing for unused moneys to return to the employer, that because only 20% of health reimbursement account expenditures are used that the employer must be violating the intent of the law, that employers are restricting benefit packages with the intent of making them difficult to use, the example primarily around reimbursement of insurance premiums. i want to talk about those three issues. we believe the intent of the law was not to enforce employers to spend money on a. the intent was to reduce the number of people who received primary care from a emergency rooms and to provide low income people with health access. we believe that was the intent of help the san francisco. the expenditure requirement was to put the burden on employers to help make that process happened. we believe reimbursement accounts are at the proper way to allow that to happen. regarding the 20% to

next speaker. >> good evening, commissioners, rob black from the golden globe restaurant association here to represent our nearly 1,000 member locations throughout the city and the bay area. i want to start off with saying how excited we are with the legislation and supportive of the supervisor's efforts and really want to applaud that because he's shown great leadership in an area that really will make a big difference for local businesses, and for residents, quite frankly. this will enhance the experience of going out, it will make our neighborhoods more vibrant, more exciting, and the dining experience more exciting, so we're very supportive of that. the only comment that i would make is reiterating what was said by the previous speaker, we would urge that this be citywide. we think there are many businesses, whether westportal or south of market, that would really benefit from this activity. as we were discussing -- as the commission was discussing, this is a tourist-driven town in many ways as far as economic activities. we had 16 million tourists come to san francisco last year
