supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: thank you. thank you for those comments, supervisor peskin, and i think, you know, obviously, we don't want businesses to shutdown in san francisco. but on the other flip side, i would argue that i think it's probl problematic, then i think we have a problem where businesses need to diverse identify their retail, and why is it the huge strain of businesses are dependent on animal retail. we have not rushed this through. we introduced this last year. we went to committee in january , february . i asked for data from the community and only this past week got a high number, saying there was a $40 million impact without seeing the data behind it. i adjusted the time for when this ban would take effect. i have since then not heard any other suggestions despite any meetings with the business community, and, you know, like i said to you in my private meetings with you, i was open to them, but i hadn't seen any of that. the only thing i got this week which was tagged on with the chamber's letter as well

peskin is a landlord -- [bell ringing] >> supervisor tang: thank you.et's direct our comments to the general public not to individual supervisors, thank you. >> hello, i'm a condo owner in the west side of the city. and why it's actually affordable is because it's high density and older and predates the zoning laws. i would like to see many more apartments like that in the west side so other people, young families like me can live in the city. because of that, i support 827. when i moved to the city 12 years ago, the city council was a leader in environmental policy and i can see this is no longer the case. this is early in the democratic process and uniformly coming against something -- that hasn't gotten through the process. it's something that we agree -- we all hate in national politics right now. when it comes to the argument of how much housing is enough, this is a regional problem. we need regional leadership and san francisco should step back and be that regional leader to build more housing, to show what does that mean us because that is a regi

. >> supervisor breed: supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: i won't say too much on the item, since i spoke in committee, but i will present an amendment due to concerns from the business community. the amendment and what it will do to the fur ban is that the effective date will still be january 1, 2019, but to allow for businesses to be able to get rid of their inventory, we're allowing them to be able to sell it through january 1, 2020, if they can, if retailers can on the spot when an inspector comes produce an invoice that shows that they placed the order for the fur product before or on march 20, 2018. if they cannot produce that invoice on the spot, they will be fined. this is in response to retailers' concerns and we're giving them two years of time to get rid of their fur apparel and accessory products. so i would like to make a motion to amend and then hopefully my colleagues will support as amended. >> supervisor breed: supervisor tang motion to amend. seconded by supervisor stefani. can we take the amendment with

: tang thank you very mu you -- supervisor tang. >> supervisor tang: yes, on the work requirements fort the cal fresh program, what were those work requirements? >> it's 20 hours a week of any sort of work activities from work fair, which we currently have for our cap recipients to education, job trainings. i should note that we are allowed to exempt at least 15% of individuals from these requirements if we determine they are unable to work. these categories are pretty broad, and they can be locally defined. so we're looking through the 5,000 who might be meeting the work requirements right now to see how many we can exempt. we also have the option to i don't want to use the word steal, but to use exemptions that could be applied to other counties because the way that the state does the exemptions, it's 15% of the statewide caseload, so if some counties aren't using their full 15%, we could actually use some of their 15%, so we're working with our colleagues in other counties to see how much above that 15% we might be able to go. >> okay. thank you. so 20 hours a week is the requirement
