i worked with him on the western soma planning task force and although this can be sometimes contentious about how small business and entertainment is viewed, it is important to recognize that henry sticks up for entertainment and small businesses and is not afraid to speak his mind when he sees something that possibly is not working in the favor of the small businesses. but does it in a way that does not would create a rift but brings conversation to the table. he also has great ideas to save small businesses. you could not do better except for possible -- possibly monetta is looking great out there. supervisor kim: thank you. >> hello. i am the small business representative on this route -- south of market stabilization fund. before i speak to henry karnilowicz, who i support as well, i do not envy the tough decision you have to make. i want to speak to how much i appreciate the work that ms. white and mr. ortiz-cartegena has done. i appreciate the work that day and the applicants have done. in speaking to an speaking henry karnilowicz, he is a rare. i have been going too small -- sout

particularly in the areas of the city must heavily impacted by development right now, particularly somaam sure the president will talk to çsupervisor kim. i believe state -- planning staff has done a lot of work to have a clear explanation of what it means to open up the market for these. it is hard to know until you do it, and policy is always evolving. but it makes sense to keep talking about that. finally, plastic awnings, we heard about that. so we have agreed to not prohibit those plastic awnings. that could be geographically limited to the folks we're most concerned about. as a general rule, we're ok with plastic awnings continuing to be allowed. i will not go through all the staff report recommendations and less it is the commissions preference. but if it is more than simply agreeing or if there's something else too bad, i will try to go quickly through those. i know i am a fast-talker despite my son was southern roots, actually. on the first issue, we do agree with that. it is an issue raised by rose and some folks at the neighborhood network. a staff recommendation that requir
