heard compelling argument from both sides and can appreciate the trail legislation that supervisor wiener is proposing i think this is something we need to do to clean up up the legislation i said the 81 intent of what commissioner chan opposed to do but not offer becoming or onerous for businesses there are larger establishment that shoulder the financial burden but i think more than massage that off the top of my head from a public prospective to pay those additional fees so i am sensitive to making sure the cu is not a barrier of industry into the industry and also not a barrier that would prohibit a business from expanding i want to echo we've heard it and received it i'll be working with supervisor wiener on the trailing legislation partnering with the planning department to figure out how we can begin to relax that i do believe we have a serious problem with expectation of women and girls in san francisco many of you recognize that and it is unfortunate oh, oh it's okay. no problem we're franl and this occurs in the massage establishment and the parking garages have that o with the

little bit of relief in tension so, please we say to take care of each other and let's see supervisor wienerillennial >> commissioner chan. >> thank you, colleagues four thoughtful comments and again, the cu process is something we're grappling with and recently called a hearing to do a deep dive into the restaurant industry it involves many, many departments and try to take that process and apply it cross the board i've been interested in many, many years it is all that work we're going to be doing on the implementations does it making sure that you know whoever is going to receive and go whether the clients end or the planning department and the various departments so in terms of the expedited permitting process your office is not in particular involved in the conversation with the planning department when we decided when distresses will go through it but as i said we are going to make sure that we are everyone is on the on the same page i agree to work with supervisor wiener on the trailing amendment i'd like to suggest to this committee if we could forward on this legislation and if supe

supervisor wiener >> thank you mr. chairman. i want to thank president breed and our office for their leadership on the very important piece of legislation. i was proud to play president breeds wing man on this one and her office did a extraordinary job work wg the community and city department to make this a realty. this legislation is long over' due. we know noithd life is very important to the culture of the city and also the economy of the city. when one of the first things i did is and for a economic report which shows night life is 4.2 billion dollar industry. we improve late night transportation but it is all for not if the late night establishments struggle to survive. the city is becoming more crowded and putting more housing in which is important but as the population grows we all have to learn i think to get along together in different kinds of ways and we no longer have the luxury of having live music venues that are isolated on their own with nothing anywhere near them. that is harder and harder to do given the curr
