this legislation brings financial services within the definition making banks, credit unions and savings and loans that have 11 or more branches subject to the conditional use requirement. it is not a ban, and it does give formula retail financial service institutions a chance to move into areas where there is community support for their presence. by the same token, if an area such as hayes valley that has an already existing ban of formula retail uses, then financial services would be allowed -- i'm sorry, financial services would be captured by that ban. the intent is to give neighborhoods a greater say in the way their commercial corridors are developed and ride an additional measure of protection to small businesses that feel threatened by the proliferation of formula retailers. it also allows the planning commission to assess whether a proposed bank, savings and loan or credit union is necessary or desirable in the community and in particular where there's an overconcentration of banks within that community, whether other similar retail uses are available within the district, whethe

the treasurer has talked about doing these grants to local credit unions and local community development financial institutions, about $250,000 to support projects they work on. i think that would be something worth looking at. we can go offline and talk about how to engage that. we have in terms that are also interested in working on that. perhaps we can study the scope of work we can do through lafco. chairperson campos: thank you, commissioner avalos. supervisor mar: i wanted to say i strongly support research in that area as well, looking at municipal banks in other jurisdictions, statewide and local jurisdictions, and how they have managed to control municipal banking institutions as well. chairperson campos: i want to echo that as well. i think it is a great idea. beginning a preliminary discussion of that topic, also keep in mind that not only do we have the benefit of having lafco staff look into that issue, but, to the extent that there may be a need to have an outside expert that has specific expertise in the area, we also have the ability to retain that, if that is inappropriate step to

not only were the other interested parties not union grocers, but given the financial resources that would only be able to undertake minor interior renovations and an exterior coat of paint. in addition, one of the interested parties would adversely affect all of the latin markets selling goods on 24th street in in our immediate neighborhood. during this vacancy, we have made a commitment to the neighborhood to keep the property clean, graffiti and crime free. we have security patrols, security cameras, and have worked with sfpd code enforcement to ensure a clean and safe site during this vacancy. we want to prevent any potential blight or crime, and so the neighborhood community will be well served by a grocery store offering fresh and affordable products. to that end, we respectfully request a conditional use authorization. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you very much, commissioners. i am rev. carroll beane. i have worked throughout the state -- the street with clergy -- i work throughout the state with clergy united for economic justice. i have been in communication wit

the treasurer discussed making available about $240,000 per community development financial restitution or credit union that could be available for x type of work or services. i think the money being developmen-- to live and think e money being available does not mean that they will try to access those funds. let's say there is a bridge that could be built with these financial institutions that can't do this type of neighborhood type work but that has to be developed. -- that can do this type of neighborhood type work. there is a willingness for it to happen in the treasurer's office which is great to see. some of the things which have been talked about a lot and the great concern about how banks are not necessarily as accountable to local neighborhoods and we can create those mechanisms with our local public dollars. >> that example is the perfect one in which you have very good intentions but don't have the outreach budgets or even the connections in order to ensure that the uptake as it is robust as we would like. the idea in this interested neighbor had shed agee involves a working group that the c

the financial times says the european union will press ahead with plans to increase the proportion of women on corporate boards with quotas. this is gmt. the headlines -- as the people of homs flee the city, the lacrosse is denied access for the fourth consecutive day. international monitors say that vladimir putin's victory in russia was not fair. time for business news. jamie is here. you want to stay with russia. >> the russian stock market is up the last seven months. it has done well. they like the idea of stability. but there has been worry about vladimir putin's ability to deliver on economic reforms. that the economy is still very export-oriented, very dependent on the oil price. whether he can start to change that and diversified economy, which has been talked about a great deal, but whether he can get around to doing it is a different matter. the way in which he actually tries to transform the economy will require increased taxes and possibly taxes on oil exports, and it is not clear at the moment exactly how he will be will to do it or whether he can do it. this is what an

historically, that the nature of the bank is to have branches, so there's very few financial institutions, even credit unions which fall under the criteria of having 10 or more or more than 10 locations. and so the impact will be less competition and less access and there are a lot of areas in the city that already aren't adequately served. vice president o'brien: ok. thank you. any other public comments on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner dwight? commissioner dwight: it seems to me the argument objectionable sign inches is an oversimplification. i would think the objection would be we know banks are highly competitive and they have deep pockets, and if they choose -- if one bank chooses to set up in a neighborhood, it's likely to attract other competitors and thereby taking over limited retail space in these smaller neighborhoods and driving up rents, so i think there are some consequences that perhaps haven't been put together before the commission today, in support of this sort of thing. i'm just saying i think that we should look at all sides of the debate here. vice preside
