Callers are entering the question and answer time and this is the Public Comment period. If you call in before Public Comment is called, youll be added to the cue. When youre called, mute the device youre listening to the meeting on. Please show the business slide. Sharky, youre muted. Can you hear me now . Perfect. Today we will start with the reminder that the Small Business commission is the official public forum to voice your opinion and concerns about policies that affect the Economic Vitality of Small Businesses in San Francisco. Also, that the office of Small Business is the best place to get answers about doing business in San Francisco during the local emergency. If you need assistance with Small Business matters, particularly at this time, you can find us online or via telephone and as always, our services are free of charge. Before we go to item one, i would like to start by thanking sf gov tv for livestreaming this and please call item number one. Item one is role call. role call . Commissioners adams is absent and commissioner duly is not yet on. Mr. President , you have a core rum. Please call item number two. Small business recommendation for recovery and rebuilding, discussion and possible action items. We will provide on the economic response to the local emergency and i think one thing thats important to emphasize to the community, a lot of times locally we talk about a recovery and i think from the perspective that the community that we should think more in terms of building. We want to make Something Better than it was before because what we had before wasnt great. So simply recovering to where we were was not good enough and we need to do better. So along those lines, we ask for comment to pass on to the Economic Recovery Task force and weve received a number of Public Comment submissions on the matter. We convened the meter toda meeto reflect back on that and from many of you in the Small Business community. Our goal is to submit a robust set of recommendations to the Economic Recovery Task force and that is informed by both last meetings discussion, Public Comment and input from everyone in the Small Business community. So we want to thank everyone who has provided your feedback and your advice and your comments and has helped to inform this document. This is an ongoing process, the first of many suggestions that we anticipate making to the Economic Recovery Task force as that task force does its work. Staff has started us off with a draft that youve all received and hopefully youve had the time to review and our director is also available for questions. With that, commissioners, are there any questions regarding the draft set of recommendations . Commissioner, i have a question. I just saw that. Please. I dont think that we should be limiting these recommendations just to the work of the Economic Recovery Task force. With respect to the task force which was an Amazing Group of city and Small Business leaders, it is meeting monthly and its first set of recommendations are not due to be drafted until august. And hundreds of businesses are facing imminent closure. And i know weve all talked about this, but i want to be careful because i think weve done a great job coming up with proposals and you and i both know, some of these things need to worked on yesterday and i dont want the work of the Recovery Task force to slow us down in any way. I completely agree and support your position here. Of course, the framing for our suggestions is the initial set of recommendations to the Economic Recovery Task force and the task force has said during their meetings that particularly comments by rodney fong, the cochair, this is a living document and wer the city is nt going to wait until the final recommendations are made in august before acting. And so i do believe the recommendations that we make today can be taken into account and acted upon today and the sooner we get the recommendations in front of the folks from the task force and the city at a large, i think the sooner the city can act and i would hope the city not wait until august to act. So let me ask you a question. Are you suggesting that this document should be tested on other recommendations for this task force . Yes. I think it should be entitled proposal to save Small Businesses in San Francisco. The title is less important to me than how we present it. In your opening that you just did so eloquently, you made it clear that this is about the task force and i just feel like that should be a part of what were doing here, but i just dont want it to be too tied to the task force if the task force has a timeline that we might differ with. Im open to that, actually. And i think i guess a question would be, do you want to talk about the proposals first and then save a conversation about how we should title it at the end . Or do we want tuke about how we title it now . Let me just say broadly, the goal that youre orienting towards, im in complete alignment with. Lets talk about it afterwards, then. Ok, great. And any other comment, commissioner ukudio . Not at this time. Commissioner azunis . Hi, everybody. Thanks for being here and the recommendations look great. I agree these are definitely guidance that we can keep on file both for our internal communications with the city and the state. I had a question about the reopening support. So i know that some categories of businesses have been deemed by the state to be allowed to reopen for curbside and whatnot. And my question is, how is that process being decided . Who are the determining parties of deciding that . And what warran are the means ft appeal process or contesting that preference in our document . And do we have any say around that . Because this i there are some categories of businesses not included and wondering what the recourse is for that . Thank you. So obviously, i agree with that question and thats why were putting it on there. I think from the perspective of Small Business community, what everybody is hundred gerring f a clear idea of how businesses are being opened so we can track our progress in realtime. I think we would all like an idea of who is making the decision. As far as i know, its with the department of Public Health, but some guidance on who to talk to is helpful. And i also think that there needs to be an appeal process. I think im ok to explain that the task force sent out an email this morning for our next morning and they have heard that concern expressed repeatedly throughout the Business Community and theyre now expediting the gathering of information on what it takes to open, how businesses should open and what sort of criteria and factors should the city be looking at. And, perhaps, it would be appropriate for the commission to dive into that into more detail, specifically how do we open and how is that accomplished safely and quickly. Im a little concern on the timeline because the task force is having that meeting on thursday. Im worried that the commission wont be able to meet again soon enough to really have input into that. We could amend more public details and submissioner azunis, youre dead on the money and correct, that the community is not getting enough communication and thats making it very difficult to plan and making it very difficult to predict the future and understand how were moving forward. Yes, the department of Public Health states on any city level, theres not an objective body and that will be done in a way that may not make sense. I feel like theres definitely a question around who theyre deeming essential and who theyre not. Who theyre deeming can be open in the next phase. Right. And so, you know, we can potentially as i said, we can amend to and flush out the details more if you have immediate input. Or we can leave it as a broadlevel concern thats expressed now, which i think the task force has already heard. Are there other business categories that you guys have been reached out to who are not included in this next wave who we can contract who the constituents are that are concerned by this . This is regina, the director of the office of Small Business. The office of Small Business as the hotline for Small Businesses, and we are definitely getting calls and tracking the various business senters. Sectors that are not either considered or clearly articulated and so were working to get clarification as to whether certain businesses fall within some of the categories in the phase two opening. Great. I think there are a lot of businesses and sectors with a lot of questions. Im sorry . Commissioner, did i interrupt you . Thats great, director. If we could, as a commission, get some of the categories that are not included and raising concern, that would be great. , well providyes, well proh that update. And i think looking at the different sectors, including manufacturing, retail and i just think clarity needs to be provided overall so that folks can understand and we need to emphasize that however we can. Ok, was there any other commissioner comment on the draft document . By the way, for the members of the public, if you go to the Small Business commission website, click on meetings and then for may 11th, youll sigh supporting documents and click on that and then youll see a link for draft, initial set of recommendations to the Economic Recovery Task force and if you can click on that, youll see the documents that were all referencing. Im wondering, should we be i mean, it would take awhile to read these allowed. Are we going to skip reading these allowed and just rely on the document being online . Until we have a lot more in the agenda, i dont see why we wouldnt read them aloud. Im reading it aloud from my phone. You also have such a wonderful voice. [ laughter ] flattery will get you everywhere. [ laughter ] i just want to point out that im trying to keep up with you on a sartorial level. I was hoping to get some comments about that today. [ laughter ] maybe later. [ laughter ] this is the initial draft and it will take me a little while to read through this. In th the category of general support, we would like microbusinesses are included in relief packages and prioritized. Put anwe would like all regulaty agencies to respect the rollingback recommendations that are out of date and onerous or otherwise Business Development without compromising software. Under the category of communications, we would like to ensure that all guidance and resources are available in languages other than english at the time they are released so that all groups are able to accept the information at the same time and folks that do not speak english are not disadvantaged. Sf gov accessed via mobile devices and pushed to medium. A streamline communication strategy needs to be put in place. Each business registered with the city should be opted into a Communications Line that provides the critical information that it is published. Businesses can opt out. Whoever is having background conversations, if you could please mute your microphone, it would be very much appreciated. Under communications, i believe we should have Clear Communications regarding the criteria for opening and should is making those decisions regarding what businesses shall open and what sectors theyre in. Noted. Reopening support, under the category of reopening support, expedite applications received by regulatory agencies that are associated with Small Businesses and commercial corridors, mcds and ncts and so that is neighborhood commercial districts and neighborhood commercial what is t again . Transit districts. Thats what i thought. All reopening allowances by determined by the state and San Francisco department of Public Health should be subject to an appeals process where businesses may make an appeal to reopen. This is an important point. Not all businesses are the same or identical and many of the policies that have come out is one size fits all and not everything is the same. All reopening guidance shall be made available in a timely matter, at least a week in advance and safety protocols and signage shall be made available to businesses via tool kits which can be accessible online. The city should purchase ppe at both costs that Small Businesses would purchase from the city at a lower cost and lower volume than if they had to purchase it on their own. We should ensure equitable and Affordable Access to Broadband Internet to Small Businesses. And under the category of dbi, department of building inspection sorry to interrupt, but for the signage piece, perhaps we should add that the reopening guidance, perhaps we should add there would be a physical place for people to pick up signage for people who dont have access to a computer. I know some Small Businesses do not. Agreed. Dominica, did you get that . Yes. Great. Under the category of dbi by the way, all commissioners, if while im talking about this, if you hear of snag you would like to add, just raise your voice. Its ok to interrupt me. Its going to be too awkward and difficult for me to recognise everyone. Youre good, manny, and i want to encourage everyone else to use the same process. Dbi soft story, the existing compliance deadline of septembee are 463 properties that still need to complete the work and we would like the deadline to be extended by two years for properties that have not started the construction and commercial spaces activated b occupied by e tenant. Should bars and restaurants be closed for another month or longer . We would like to incentivize Property Owners to prioritize requirements and for businesses that need to temporarily shut. It might be possible via text credits and this is particularly essentially for restaurants, bars and places of entertainment. And if im mingling the words a little bit here, theyre written better than they sound reading aloud and im trying to turn this into understandable english. Under fee mitigation, waive all fees by regulatory agencies, dbi, San Francisco Fire Department and sfpd for a calendar year and we would like to waive all penalties that are not related for a calendar year. And a waiver of application and referral fees collected by all regulatory agencies for one calendar year, waive Business Registration fees for Small Business for one year. Refund or apply a credit for permits that businesses paid for but did not use, examples would be a contractor parking permit and dpw temporary permits and entertainment related permits such as limited Live Performance and events. These folks bought and paid for permits and they should be able to use those credits at a future date. Waive the unsecured property tax for Small Businesses. Under the category of land use, we would like to allow for more flexibility for businesses who are seeking to move in order to reduce monthly commercial rent costs or for other economic reasons. For example, waive the conditional use authorization requirement if one exists and supplement with the neighborhood notification requirement. All temporary use authorizations to be granted for additional flex use purposes which would support a business need to pivot and no application should be necessary. Businesses will be given implicit authorization to add additional and reasonable uses. If complaints are made by the community, businesses should be required to fill out an online authorization form. This is an important concept that were promoting which is implicit authorization and lets reduce the hassles businesses have to do to get going again and to pivot to a working business model. Lets give them implicit authorization and it can be withdrawn by it community if its not working. Create a onestop shop specifically for Small Business support where representatives from all regulatory agencies, planning dph, sfmta, fire and oewd may process all permits, fees and applications. This exists to some extent now but big business is in the same room as Small Business and it is time consuming for Small Business which can move much faster through this process and were asking for a specific lane for Small Business. Temporarily extend hours that businesses are allowed to operate by neighbor corridor, provide Technical Assistance to businesses interested in pivoting and how they can successfully do so, expend the flex use legislation that is currently available and, i think, two districteds to be applicable citywide and liberalize use alone corridors o stimulate new development. Amend and expand the definition of formula retail to relax current restrictions and relax restrictions on exterior signs to allow for multiple projecting and nonpropertying signs, all temporary exterior signage should be implicitly permitted. Temporarily suspend discretionary revenue for one year and temporarily suspend the need for conditional use authorizations for one year. Encourage the city to create plazas and open spaces wherever possible, including potentially streets, alleyways, sidewalks and parking lots so that businesses can expand their operations. And sfmta in coordination with dpw should propose the first set of sites this would be applicable within a months time. Under the category of evaluating existing employer obligations, we would like to look at and potentially reshape hcso. The program should be suspended for one to three years and eva evaluated for any issues raised in its absence. Under the category of commercial rent and mortgage assistance, the city should incentivize Property Owners who choose to abate rent owned to their commercial tenants and an example, allow Property Owners to depicket from grocery seats thgross receiptsduring the entif emergency that is in place. Stop thirdparty platforms from highcommission fees and adding businesses to the platform without their permission. Under the category of funding, a reopening fund should be created for Small Businesses to access assistance for a fund item such as ppe and reopening fee expose any othefees andthis would worke Resiliency Fund by oewd but with a 5,000 limit per business and what with a starting bucket of 1 million in the fund. We would like to create a Grant Program where merchant corridor organizations could be awarded up to 10,000 in funding for corridor beautification projects, including the feasibility this would not include, a separate item. It looked like its a part of it but its just a separate bullet part. Explore a Rainy Day Fund to be used to provide grants and loans to small local businesses at times of emergency. And in fund would be between 50 and 100 million. And request an immediate injection of funding to the legacy business program, as well as fasttrack the approval process to get necessary funds into legacy business hands. Under the category of economic evaluation, Data Collection and analysis. One thing to note for the members of the public, both policy makers and the commission rely heavily on data for make decisions about how we move forward and how we allocate our resources. This will be more critical important now than ever because we have significant budget deficit expose wers. So in order to address problems and issues, the first part is, we need to actually measure what those issues are and what those problems are. So the issue of Data Collection is actually really critical to bthe downstream impact of how we address the problems. If we dont measure it, we cant fix it. The next section is what were measuring and what the city should measure. So first, the monthly number of businesses that have closed since march 13th, 2020 to december 31st of 2021 by industry, naics code and neighborhood commercial district and employee size, including selfemployed sole prio propries and the employees one to five and six to ten, 11 to 25, 26 to 50, 51100, 101 to 500 and 500 employees or more. We would like, also, to be measured the loss in taxes paid, including sales, payroll tax, unsecured property tax by businesses and the number of businesses opening by industry, business formation and employee size and open date. The number of businesses that access Technical Assistance from the city in any form. We would like to require the delivery acts to provide information regarding the delivery sales trends. We would like to track any of the relevant data to the various spaces returning to normal operations as that relevant data becomes clear. We would like to obtain the number of ppee i. D. L advances in average amounts that businesses received, the number granted per bank and the average loan amount. With would like to know how many businesses used credit businesses and would like to know the average length of time for businesses to receive the ppe and eidl loans and measures of storefronts or commercial rents, nonreferral and personal mortgage costs. And i believe that is it for our draft documents. So with that, do we have any other before we go to Public Comment, any other commissioners suggestions or comment . This is cynthia. Hi, cynthia. Hi. I just wanted to say for you and manny and everything, thank you so much for putting all of this together. This is such a comprehensive document and i really appreciate that you read it outloud. I didnt get to say this earlier, but now that youve read it all outloud, this is a really substantial piece of work that i think is really important for the next phase of rebuilding the citys Small Business environment. And my questions are kind of historically, because ive only been on the commission for a couple of months now, historically, has the commission put together documents like this before . And if so, what is generally the steps afterwards . Because i had a conversation with someone recently where we kind of talked in general about commissions and Advisory Councils and things like that and oftentimes what happens, it seems like is that people spend a tremendous amount of work on something, put a lot of thought into it and then you kind of never hear about it outside of that meeting or outside of that council. And im just kind of wondering what next steps historically have been there and what next steps could we take as commissioners and as the public to be able to amplify the work that youve already put into this document . You know, thats a great question and thats always a burning question, right, which is when the commission has work product thats issued, how can we be certain that that product will be taken seriously . I guess historically in the past, the commission has issued resolutions. Generally, my overall sense from just reviewing past meetings and minutes, historically the commission has primarily been reacting to legislation that was issued and rarely initiating action. And so, with the hearings or the meets that weve had last month regarding a letter to the mayor, recommending proposals to pelosi and this now new meeting or new set of proposals to the Economic Recovery Task force, were certainly taking a pretty, i think, relatively to how the commission was structured previously, you know, a proactive state. But i think a lot of that is just a function of the emergency we now found ourselves in. We dont have a choice and we have to be more proactive and so that has given us the luxury of being more proactive. And i know director dikendrezy can provide more comments about how things worked in the past because i, myself, have been on the commission about a year and a half. And so i cant speak authoritatively on the history. But ill say this, with respect to the Economic Recovery Task force and with respect to how this document is treated at city government, i think first and foremost is, the burden is on us to make it impactful. And thats our responsibility. Its other peoples jobs to Pay Attention to what to do and read it and hang on to every word and turn it into policy. The burden is on us to raise it to their attention and to raise it as a whole to advocate for ourselves and to the extent that they agree with the draft recommendations and i believe generally, most of them do, because thats where these regulars came from. And i will also say with respect to the Economic Recovery Task force, the commission has throwe members on the task force, including myself, yourself, commissioner dewey and carthina. As commissioners that serve on that task force, its the responsibility to encourage the task force to prin inaudible . indiscernible . They need to become familiar with it as we move it to this next phase in the process. As i said before, we have to advocate internally and externally and as commissioners and advocate as a community. And so with that, director, i think you have some comments about the context expect histore history prior that. Thank you, president laguana. President huey, to answer your question, while the commission over its history has been responsive to legislation and drafting resolutions, fortunately, except for when the last economic crisis happened, it happened in a very different way and the impact of Small Businesses was definitely there but sort of spread out and the response was different. And so, to a substantive document like this, i would say the commission has not created a substantive document like this as it relates to what were going to see with the city and the country, kind of a recovery rebuilding over a long period of time. And so, in terms of what happens with this document and moving forward, a couple things come to my mind in terms of what the commission can do. One is having a standing agenda item in terms of reports to the commission on items in this document in addition to reports and feedback that the commissioners can provide who are sitting in on the task force and so what are updates. And also, there are different departments that many of these items will be dependent upon in terms of making it happen. So the commission can invite those departments to its meetings, to how have the discussion and Work Together on how best to implement these recommendations and those are a couple of suggestions. And then the commission can make a determination in terms of at what point would you like to have a summary report as to the recommendations in this document to kind of close the loop when its time and in terms of what was accomplished and its impact. From the recommendations in this particular document and any future recommendations the commission may make. I hope that answers your questions. That anticipations answers qd and introduces some suggestions in moving forward. I had not gone that far along yet in terms of thinking about how we would process this afterwards. And so those are, i think really thoughtful and wellreceived suggestions in terms of how we can digest this moving forward. I would also like to say for the benefit of the public, a city chartered commission thats actually a part of city government, we are particularly well positioned to make suggestions regarding city policy with respect to Small Business and i think an Important Role were going to be playing as we deal with the ramifications as we deal with the covid19 crisis is simply collecting and curating your comments and feedback and suggestions in ways that the city can be better and organizing it and preventing it, which is essentially all weve done here. Some of these ideas were internal, but the overwhelming majority of them came from you, came from the Small Business community and members of the public. And all were doing was assembling this and putting it into a single document so that policy makers can see it all in one place and understand how all of these pieces go together and then we can have a lively debate around what needs to be instituted and maybe whats abridged too far. But we cant start to have that conversation without having everything assembled and put into a single document. And so i think thats probably Going Forward the most Important Role of the commission and probably a good framework for how we move forward to the covid19 crisis. Just one more follow up. Up. Do the members the board of supervisors, as well as the Mayors Office, obviously, but will they all get, like, a copy of this, also, that we can review with them, especially with some of the legislative aids and things . I just think this is so full of ideas that not only are end points, but things to spark more ideas on how to generate the business again. Yes, you know, i think we can certainly send a copy to the mayor and the board of supervisors and i think we wouly objections to that and i cant think of any reason we wouldnt do that. Of course, if someone can come up with reasons why we couldnt or shouldnt do that, i would be interested in hearing from either dominica or our director. Director, yes, definitely the board of supervisors and the mayors will receive a copy of this and in addition, we will also be sending it to the relevant departments engaged in providing some of the information or providing information or the city or this body, the commission would need to work with to accomplish what is set out in this document. So i will tell you anecdotally in my conversations with various city leaders, theyre hundre hungering for ths information and its well received an and to members of te public making suggestions, this is a great way to ensure those suggestions get seen and heard. If you have previously made suggestions and you dont see them on this document, that is because our internal review process determined either that the request was duplicated elsewhere so thats part of the curation process, is just making sure were not repeating ourselves. Or might not be feasible or legal in that we wouldnt want to take up anybodys time making requests possible to fulfill p. Before we move on to Public Comment, i want to make sure that if any commissioners had any comment that they had an opportunity to do so. And commissioner, ukudio. Hi. I want to reiterate what commissioner huey said, a lot of work went it into from the staff and office of Small Business and passing around all of the various organizations representing Small Business expose shoulbusinessesand acknos viewed by ggra, as well as the chamber of commerce ceo. So it comes well vetted. I agree with the director that we should have a standing agenda item for every Commission Meeting where we review progress thats been made. Originally, i thought since theres ten subgroups that might be good to sign one or two to each commissioner, but now i think actually, a better use of time would be, perhaps, at the office of Small Business staff, knowing kind of as much as they do sitting in city hall, might be able to figure out with these proposals kind of what the mechanics would actually be to do some of these things, right . Its one thing to say make this change or relax this rule, but i think we dont have, necessarily havent tnecessarily, have to ge process would be. We might go through and actually how to do some of these things so that we as commission e commn advocate for that to. So that when we do bring the Enforcement Agency staff to us, which i think we should do in the next commissioned meeting, at least some of them and the rest of them in the meeting after that and we can come with our homework done, well researched and understanding that the way to, you know, make some of the very specific changes, for instance pushing the retrofit deadline. What the process actually doing so that when we bring in planning, we can say that we did our homework and this is how you move the retrofit deadline, how can we do that . So i leave it to you, president and director, whether this is something the osb can do on their own, figuring out the actual mechanics or if you could like to help with the commissioners and ill say a lot of the recommendations, even though theyre in different areas, some of them sit within the same agencies, so i wouldnt want us to look disorganized with some questions. So if theres a capacity within osb, it makes sense for this to be centralized. The second piece, i think, we should immediately send this to the board of supervisors and i dont think it is a bad idea for individual commissioners to forward this because it increases the divisability and we should see who is able to come to the next Commission Meeting and ask about enforcement of some of the changes. We need to ask how to represent the three businesses on the Economic Task force. I hope and do not expect that the enforcement agencies and our legislators, surely, would wait on some of these changes based on the Economic Recovery Task force recommendations. But i think if the Economic Task force recommendations reflect the work that weve been doing and these proposals, it will only add to their feasibility. And i think we attack this on all flanks and they we have to be loud and public an and have o work to do as much work as we can. So i agree with everything you just said. Commissioner . Just one second. Im sorry, ill get to you, i promise. So commissioner, the last thing i want to say is that we may want to consider forming subcommittees to look at this by, perhaps, agency and so i think we need to have a separate conversation as a commission whether we have the bandwidth to manage that process. That could be one way to get that done. In terms of next meeting, i think we have to get together and work a triage and figure oue in a different place in two weeks where is the Economic Recovery Task force at, where is the city at and where are the most important needs and thats, obviously, a dynamic and rapidlychanging landscape. And so, with that, commissioner, duly, im so apologetic, i saw your check a couple of minutes ago but i welcome your input. Ive been trying to comment for the entire meeting but havent been able to. Ive been blocked. I just wanted to also mention that some of the things on our list are going to need a very fine grained approach. For example, in my opinion, allowing more formula retail is the opposite of helping Small Business. We all know that deep pockets exist in formula retail and very few, if any, Small Businesses could ever afford what they have. And my concern is, i just dont think its a great idea for our retail corridors unless theyre greatly desiring more formula retail. I cant think that we should make a blanket statement and allowing it to go to 51 is just saying go to it, take over all our spaces. And i think thats a fine grained issue that we need to go over carefully, and thats just one example. Can i just respond to that briefly . Sure. So there was an earlier draft that mentioned 51 and we did take that out of this letter and i think its important to note that formula retail is a ballot measure and, as such, neither the commission or mayor can change it without another voter ballot measure. I think to the extent that norm la retail can be addressed or modified or loosened or liberalized, thats to be exsent of how a business corridor is defined under the legislation. Thats the one area of wiggle room. So thats entirely subject to community input. I dont think theres any opportunity to change that number 11 from the current number 11, absent another ballot measure. So thats why i said lets take out the reference to the specific numbers because thats a much more complicated and lengthy process. So i just wanted to speak to that part of it, but please continue. I apologize for interrupting you but that was an ongoing conversation. So ill absolutely come back to you, commissioner duly, if anything else comes up. Commissioner azunis. Thank you, everyone. I think a kind of stepby. Step obystephow to actually ace recommendations is something that we have access to because we have access to extent constis to people who are our case studies for these recommendations. I have a question about the planning and landuse flexibility elements of our recommendations. And it does kind of cross of over with the formula retail question because we have actually, we have the written comment in our last meeting from an individual who was a fran franchisee, right . So its a Small Business owner, but a business that requires a ceu and this individual needs is an example of someone who is caught up in the ceu process waiting for their application to be approve. So something i would ask, also, is clarity for our Business Community on which departments are still functioning with our city and, like, what processes are actually being undertaken and which have frozen. Because if someone is waiting for their permit to be oked or something, like, we need to know if they need to change course or if that department is still functioning with the city in getting through those applications or Something Like that. So thats kind of a nuance that make come up, but i just wanted to flag it because i, frankly, dont know, you know. And i know that there is a government doc from sfmta about how to apply for curbside permits. So i would like to make sure that thats accessible, as well and kind of a stepbystep process if were requiring new permits for changes to Business Operations and that should be more, too. And so the first planning recommendation is that there be guidance to the Small Business community about what agencies are open and how to contact them . Yeah, i think thats definitely a big part of that. We need to let the Business Community know which entities with our city are still doing their puerto rico vid work, especially when it comes to what people are waiting to be able to function. So let me rephrase that for dominica. Under the planning section, provide guidance to the Small Business community regarding what agencies are open and if they are open, what is the appropriate manner for interacting with them for the purpose of obtaining permits and or making payments . I it noted. Also, every agency at this point, i have theyre all respective covid19 websites where the public can access, like, what is open and whats not open and whats being processed and not being processed. Now anand so, perhaps, our offin collect that information pretty easily and distribute via our newsletter or on our website or oewd can add it, too. I guess, does osb have its own covid page or do we rely on the oewd page . This is the director. We made it a specific decision because our office would be handling all of the hotlines with the emails and the phone calls, oewd has the website. And its managing the website. And so, i just really want to reiterate for commissioners that if businesses that youre engaging with, if there are specific questions in terms of once the stayinorder place went into place, construction stopped, whats the status of my permit, have them contact our office. We do, then, refer and we have people in oewd that are engaging with the departments like construction, the restrictions around construction were lifted to a certain degree and, so, the status of an individuals permit, if they were in the application process, the status of that permit will be reflective of what the guidance thats being given by the department of Public Health around what can be done to complete those permits. So just really want to encourage commissioners direct businesses to connect our office and also, commissioner azunis, in the covid website, we do have the te linking to the smftas application to be able to get temporary to be able to do a temporary loading zone in front of the business while the emergency is in place, the state of emergency is in place. And so, again, direct people, businesses to the covid website with oewds, because were working hard to make sure those things are up and on the website as they become available. Great. And thank you, director. Commissioner duly . I just wanted to add a little bit to that. indiscernible . So this happened to my wife the other day, on your laptop, theres a microphone and i believe youre blocking the mike microphone with your hand because you were cutting in and out because we could hear the werwe have suggested requesg that the meters not be enforced and the other thing, perhaps, was for letting the restaurants or the bars open up on to that parking area and so these are things that need to be done immediately, because we dont know its going to be lifted or not. But in the meantime, all of the merchants in the restaurants, especially and bars, are very anxious to get out there and get some legs on the street, which will help their business. We did say in the landuse section, that restaurants and business shoos be ablbusinesseso spill on to the trees and alleyways and parking lots and to encourage sfmta to expedite this and to more, importantly, get back to us within a month of specific sites where thats possibly. Obviously sooner would be preferable. Let me ask you about the meter question. With respect to meters, are you saying people should be able to park longer than an hour . No, but just to do that as an encouragement for people to come to the neighborhood and we would want to have a limit on it. Otherwise people from the community would probably park their cars all door in the commercial corridor, but it would be an incentive and were anxious right now to get this going and weve contacted our supervisor and said, please make this happen because, you know, our community our neighborhood corridors are dying. So youre saying waive the fee but not the time limit. Right. Ok. And dominica, can you draft that as a proposal to sfmta to reduce parking fees but not the time limit . Yeah. Thank you. If. I wanted to know as a resource that i don, sf. Gov enl of the our citys resources in one Central Location and thats Something Else that citizens and members of the Small Business community could look into for when they have the question. Im sorry, so repeat that again . Sf. Gov is another resource that, essentially, has brought in all of the citys resources and linked out to respective pages and is a very central repository. I see, got it. You were referencing the other item from earlier, got it. Commissioner ukudio. Ok, i just wanted to return back to a previous point real quick and just to make sure that i have clarity on next steps. I think the first question is sending this out to Small Businesses and, also, individuals that represent Small Businesses, and i think that will be very important. And so the question for you, commissioner laguana, is do you want eachch us to send this to the commercial corridors that we are all associated with. I know commissioner duly is with the corridor in north beach and, perhaps, we can task you to sending it out to the chamber to get a signoff. I think doing that immediately you would like a letter to be sent out to the corridors immediately to cosign. Yes. Or for feedback or just to submit, like, this is the work of the commission, because a lot of Small Business owners dont know what we do and, frankly, dont know we do anything. Sdo anything. Its important to f and get theyre feedback if theyre comfortable. Yes. So let me say two things. One, the working title of the letter is first initial set of recommendations, which, obviously, implicit is that there will be an ongoing number of recommendations and i think this is the beginning of a long process well be engaged in for a long time and so, yes, i think, absolut absolutely, we se in constant communication throughout the city, with the commercial corridors, with the various local merchant groups, local business groups, wherever they are. And weve mention aded a few we engaged in early on because they engaged with the commission and theres an ongoing outreach effort. And i would say in the most gentle way possible, that is one of your responsibilities as a commissioner, is to reach out to the folks that you interact with and have relations with, and presumely why you wound up on the commission in the first place. And i would expec expect you would reaching out to Community Members and sharing with them and encouraging them to give input on an ongoing basis. And i would say that this document will be lengthy and exhaustive, neither definitive or final. I feel like continuing to position this fivepage document going through multiple aspects and multiple agencies is a working document and open document constantly evolving and i think it makes it a lot harder for it to be effective because, you know, we have five pages of individual points, each of which would be difficult to get done and if we constantly position this, this is something were working on and liquid and evolving, i worry, commissioner, that might affect our ability to actually, as a team, with efficacy work to accomplish these things. At one point do we say, here are a bunch of things that need to get done to support Small Businesses and lets see if we can get them done. I hear that and i think thats a valid concern, but i think we need to be cognizant of reality, which this is a rapidly changing situation and none of us have a working crystal ball and i think that it is too soon to present suggestions as definitive or final when were still figuring out what works and what doesnt work and whats appropriate. I dont necessarily get the sense at all, even just in the conversations that im having behind the scenes that its not being taken seriously or that the fact that some stuff may change or be amended in the future, decreases the efficacy and im not as worried as you are at this point. With respect, i dont know what a changing situation actually means as a result to extending soft story retrofit deadlines or waiving fees for the next 12 months o. I dont care how much the situation changes over the next two weeks. These things, many of these things will need to get done anyway, even if shelterinplace gets lived next week, Small Businesses will needs these things. I mean this with respect, commissioner, i dont think we wait to see how things evolve. There are a solid set of suggestions here. This is director tracey here and i think going back to outreach, commissioner duly, could you mute your computer . So first, i think, definitely as we share with the board of supervisors and the Mayors Office and Mayors Office, we should be sharing with the Business Community. The way that can be done is, one, once the document is finalized, its up on our website and so its there and two, we have our eblast and we can inform the Business Community from their input that this document has been finalized with these particular set of recommendations and that the commission will be work on it with the city, with the task force and on their behalf. The office can also send it out to other business organizations to inform those business organizations as to the sets of recommendations so theyre fully informed. And i think it doesnt hurt to have as Many Organizations and the Business Community aware of these to also help advocate and to their supervisors and the Mayors Office or the task force on what their priorities are. And going back to an earlier point that you had, commissioner, is how do we work with this and so we have a good set of recommendations and who is involved in accomplishing them and how do they get accomplished . Perhaps the next step is for a working document or a project kind of management document for the commission and dominica and i can take this and say what may be shortterm, longterm, you know. Items, things to put forward and discussed within the city and can they get accomplished relatively soon . And wha what can be accomplished more through working with agencies with the office or what is better accomplished by having the agencies come before the commission and the commission have that discussion as to why these are important things for the department to be working on. With then followup from the office and working in tracking those items. And again, if we have this as a standing item, then we can also inform the Business Community that the reports of what is being worked on with this particular document, they can come to the Commission Meeting, view the Commission Meeting, either live or at a later date to get updates. So those are some initial thoughts that i have. The commission Recovery Task force as a quote, unquote, living document and so i think this is just sort of an ongoing discussion. As the director said today, we will be voting on this document. Once we have voted on it, this document will be final. And these recommendations will be this is on our website as our final letter. Now, of course, we can make new suggestions of recommendations in the future based on new information. But, the recommendations that were making now will not change unless we decide to change them at a future date and maybe thats helpful. Thank you, director. A followup, i love that framing of this and i think that sounds perfect. Figuring out what can be doing working within the agencys backchanneling versus what is bringing the agencies here and also the how of the planks. Do you think that can be done now and the next Commission Meeting should we choose to have it in the two weeks . The working project management working documents that are digging in through this stuff . I would say mostly yes, in terms of a good scoping of what that would involve, identifying what we can initiate from a conversation now with the department and what is likely best to bring forward whats best for the commission to be the primary initiator. I mean, even if when we invite the department, staff will have some conversation with those departments, but to have a more exploratory discussion as to what can be done and accomplished with these ideas, then identify where that is maybe best to happen with the commission. Two more quick followup questions, commissioner. One is how, commissioner, do you perceive the commissioner can be supportive ove in that process . Is that something we should be involved in or not . Just how can we be helpful in that . I think how you can be helpful is really i mean, if we want to take some of the landuse conversations, right, or the landuse bullet points and we invite the Planning Department to the Commission Meeting, is being able to articulate to that agency what some of these newer ideas look like and what would be involved and what the need is. So youre out there talking to the businesses and for those of you that are on merchant corridors, you are hearing what businesses are talking about. And youre hearing what businesses are thinking about without having many businesses dont know when theyre going to be opened or when they open, how much of their Business Activity will they able to do. If theyre not going to be able to fully do their Business Activity, what are other things that theyre thinking and giving consideration to, right . So i think this is where you being in the Business Community can help articulate those thoughts and needs, toabl to abo help our businesses survive this rebuilding, so to speak. My last followup question, do you think strategically in order to be productive it makes sense while you are doing that work to dual track by asking enforcement agencies to come to our next Commission Meeting or having another Commission Meeting going through Feasibility Study and inviting them after that . So in about a months time. My recommendation is, i think that there are some agencies, that it might be beneficial, because i think its going the Feasibility Study may need to come after you have the conversation, right . Because much of whats in here will be dependent on the departments beginning on doing the work and how will they able to do it, right . And so, i dont think we unless you want staff to do it all, then theres going to be elements that we dont have a Feasibility Study done until after the conversation takes place. Which departments . I would say planning. Somist could be around the Data Collection. If were dealing with waiving the fees, well need to be it could be departments. It could be discussion with the Controllers Office. So i would have to go through and outline which departments are going to be affected by or impacted by the recommendation or needed, i should say, to implement the recommendation. Can i just maybe ask for permission to empower the office of Small Business to make that determination and invite them to the next Commission Meeting so we can talk to them ourselves . Yes. And president laguana, what i wanted to add to that, that is something to work with the president and if the president work with the president and the Vice President on. Awesome. And so, yeah, just to add to that, i would like to say, commissioner ukudio, you did an extraordinary amch wor amount on drafting this document and i wanted to commend and thank you for your work and ideas and your suggestions. And you, along with commissioner cartahena were with a task force bringing this document to its current state and as such, i would say that as we move forward with implementation and the project management around implementation, you would certainly be an included voice in how that gets implemented, given the amount of work that you put into the document already. And i would certainly want you to participate in that process of how we get this over the finish line. With respect to setting the agenda for future meetings, i think and how osbs staff time is allocated, i think we need to be careful because theres only so many hours that they have available to them. And so, its an important conversation to be sort of respectful that they have multiple Different Things that have to get done simultaneously and so theres a triage to how we move forward through this process and its i would encourage us as commissioners to not be too aggressive in setting the agenda for either the office or ourselves and that we can have those conversations offline in terms of figuring out what is the most logical way moving forward through this. I think sometimes in these hearings, it can be very easy and tempting to say lets do x and not realize were knocking y and z off the todo list or creating an impossible situation for staffers or creating a stress and anxiety. And so well connect offline on how to implement the document and well do it in a way that is sustainable for the staff so that we can get this done in the most efficient way possible. And commissioner duly, i see you removed your request to speak, but i did want especially since we had trouble earlier, i wanted to make sure and confirm that you didnt have any other comments. Were running out of time, so i am just feeding it just forget it. Well move on. Ok. So with that, i think we will, in the interest of time, well move on to Public Comment. One important point to make to folks that have called in, you need to dial 10 in order to get in the cue to speak. So if you have called in and you are listening, you need to dial 10 in order to be recognised and heard. And so, lets open up Public Comment. Operator you have one question remaining. Hello. You have the floor. They may need to unmute. Sounds like they may have dropped off and well leave Public Comment open for another couple of minutes to give people a chance to call in, comment. Again, once you call in, you have to dial 10 in order to get in the cue for Public Comment. Well leave this open for another 30 seconds. That iwhat is the phone numbr people to call . 888 2733658 and the access code is 3107452. Take your time. Operator you have one question remaining. Hello, commissioners, can you hear me . We, we can. Thank you. Im mark dwight. Hello. Im the founder and owner of rickshaw bagworks in San Francisco. Thank you for this. Im writing that you help me educate owners about the reopening. People are using vented or valved masks, which is explicitly banned in our facecovering ordinance. This issue is poorly understood and has received very little public discussion. The prevalence of unfiltered valved masks is a threat to our containment efforts and a Serious Health risk to customers as we gradually reopen our businesses. Theyre prevalent in our area because so many purchase them for respiratory protection during wildfires. Theyre designed for protection, not containment, as the oneway valve has no filter. Exhaling through the valve expels whatever germs you exhale in a high velocity jetstream. We should be certain that our employees do not wear these masks or that they cover the unfiltered vents if they wear them and warning signs should be posted so anyone interacted is alerted to the valve masks that they are not sent for virus containment as stipulated in our own Face Covering ordinance. Costco assisted with valve masks. I have been working several weeks with dr. Matthew springer at ucsf for a educational effort but so far the city has not provided any further guidance or signage despite banning this type of mask in the ordinance. I created a sign which i sent to you regarding vented valve masks as a communication tool for my own business modeled after the signs the cities have made and i ask that you make this available to Business Owners until such time as official signage is made available. Ateducating people is a challenging task, is often meant with skepticism. This helps employees avoid confrontation with customers who are uninformed of the issue and i created a video describing the problem and demonstrating the fix for these masks which is placing masking tape over the vents. This needs to be done before anyone wearing such a mask interacts with fellow employees or customers. Thank you for your consideration. Thank you. And i appreciate you bringing that to our attention, mark. Mark is the former president and at times Vice President of the Small Business commission and youve been a leader on this important issue. I dont believe we have any other Public Commenters. Is that correct . Yes. I have feedback coming to me. Somebodys line i think its gone now. So with that, with the Public Comment closed, so do we before we move on to the next item, any last commissioner comments . Do we need to vote on this now . I would like to make a motion to approve the final draft of the proposal to support Small Business during this time. I second the motion. Commissioners, there were several amendments made to the motion requesting that dominica add a few points. Do you want to ensure those are included, as well . Yes. So why dont i first make a motion to amend the document to include the suggestions made during the meeting. Im looking for a second. Second. So we need to do a role call on that. Do you need clarity on those amendments, dominica . No. Role call vote on commissioner laguana and seconded to amend the draft recommendations. Commissioner adams is absent and commissioner duly. Yes. Commissioner huey. Yes. Commissioner laguana. Yes. Commissioner ortiz. Cannot hear you. role call . Motion passes. Its 60 with one absent. And now a motion to approve the final language o our proposs to support Small Businesses during this crisis. Second. Motion to approve the final draft as amended by the motion prior and seconded by commissioner duly and role call vote. role call . Commissioner adams is absent. Motion passes 60 with one absent. Ok. Next item, please. Item 3, directors report, update and report on the office of Small Business and the Small Business assistant center, programs policy and legislative matters, announcements from the mayor and announcements regarding Small Business activities, discussion items. Youre muted, director. Thank you, commissioner. So commissioners, i will provide you with some updates. So as i have noted earlier in the meeting, the office of Small Business staff is staffing the hotline which is our website excuse me, our email and main line phone number for Small Businesses. To date we have service to 2020 business inquiries and they all each week it is slightly different based on what is new information coming out at any given time. Most of it is around financing and wanting support services and lease negotiations and jus negof it is essential businesses and as the phase two rolled out, we are receiving the calls and inquiries, even though we still have one more week to go before businesses can partially open. We are also developing a resource guide for the ppe. The commission has put in its set of recommendations the request to environment city take a look at whether they can source the ppe so that businesses can purchase it affordably and in the interim of that, we have put together a ppe resource working with our local manufacturers and some of our local businesses so that we there can be btob purchasing at a local level. Rick has just completed this and it wont be live on our website because we need to go through certain steps with the city administrator, but well be as businesses inquire, well be providing that information so they can start sourcing those items locally and well share that list with you, as well. Last week, the Historic Preservation commission had its meeting and asked for a presentation on what sorts of support the legacy businesses are receiving during the covid crisis. So rick and i went through rick has been individually communicating with the businesses, but theyre receiving all of the information that were providing all businesses and then, i have, i think, indicated to most of you that the Business Assistance grant has gone grant for this year and that went to 136 businesses that applied. And the average grant is about 8,000, a little over 8,000. The percentage of nonprofits receiving the grants is around 18. 5 proceeding expo a majority of th18. 5 and a majority goingo our nonprofit entity. We did have 150,000 set aside to assist legacy businesses through the abe process, but under the circumstances, we decided that it was probably better to reallocate that 150,000 to the Business Systems grant and we were able to make the grant allocations slightly higher than what we had projected for. So then i want to bring to your attention last week would have been normally Small Business week, the first week of may. Due to the circumstances, that did not take place. Though the mayor did announce deer sf, which you have been informed of, to post your hearts for not only your business for other businesses that are important to you and have impact. Working with the chamber of commerce who will lead Small Business week, it is being moved to june 22nd through the 26th, at least at this point. It will be a virtual Small Business week. We will not be likely to have this unless we do find a way of doing the reception. And there is an emergency ordinance and i want to bring it to your attention and there will be some followup in the next day or two, that supervisor mar has introduced and because it is an emergency ordinance, it does not need to sit for 30 days. Its scheduled in the government and audits meeting, so the next meeting will be may 21. This ordinance is a temporary of right to reemployment following layoff due to the covid pointing and this ordinance does apply to all businesses with ten or more employees and it does have a fairly rigorous reporting and communication process not only with the employees but with the city. What we are looking at, theres roughly 8,540 Small Businesses that will be impacted. There are three that required, if this passes, with the ten or more employees, we have 3,700 businesses that have over 100 employees. And 2500 nonprofits registered with the city. And so not only wil does it afft some governance of what is passed and what is required of businesses, but it is also a substantial will have substantial implications, particularly for the office of labor standard enforcement in terms of bureaucratic requires forequirements for them it could be relatively costly in terms of its implementation. Now and so you will receive more information on that. Director . Yes. So clarify for those not familiar with the legislation and also for my own clarification, that legislation, essentially it says that employees shall be hired back in the order that they were terminated wit and the position shall be offered to people that were term though thought termina result of covid19 before the position can be offered to anyone else. Is that a correct summary of the proposed legislation . Relatively. Its order of seniority may not be order of laid off. And, also, that there is a 90day reemployment period. So i think that is also something thats very important for businesses to take a look at that regulation in context. As wi know many of you have been hearing for the challenges of businesses that have not opened or are partially opened. The challenges of the ppp present, that if the dates dont get extended, there will be many businesses that the ppp will now, if they keep it, will now become a debt because of the challenge of meeting those employment deadlines and so, i think this regulation needs to be taken in context with whats happening with the ppe, as well. Ppp, you mean. Yes, the payroll protection program. So anyway, we will be providing a detailed analysis. It just came to my attention and just introduced last week and so ive just been able to sort of sketch out some of the key elements and well be providing a more detailed analysis. But just to clarify, in addition to specifying who you hire back and in what order you hire them back in, there are reporting requirements on top of that . Yes. And again, i will say this with the caveat of not knowing this legislation in intimate detail. But my first read is that there is a requirement for any employees that businesses laid off since the stayinorder in lace or emergency went in place and you will be needing to know those businesses with very specific requirements. Of what will be required of the rehiring of employees. In that notice is asking the employee for the permission to provide osle with the Contact Information of that employee so ose has the ability to be able to contact them. And then as businesses come back online, businesses are able to refirrehire, theres a reporting requirement of how you are rehiring, if i have read this correct, to osle. I guess the question will be whether businesses feel it would be helpful in the current climate to have additional reporting requirements and whether the goals here, which are certainly well intentioned, whether those goals are more important than the goals of helping to facilitate survival and recovery for Small Businesses and those seem like really pertinent questions. Will this legislation come before the commission . The legislation, if it is heard at the Government Audit Oversight Committee meeting, which the next one would be may 21st, it would not come before the commission unless the commission determines it would hold a special meeting. Commission azunis . Thank you for that report, director. Yeah, i have some questions, too, given there was a lot of grey area during the last i mean, in the last couple of months and people were electing to take unemployment because whatever subsidized agreement they came to, it wasnt enough. So im just wondering if those nuances if theyre delinquent crated with what type of separation triggers this . Because a lot of people went on unemployment on their own volition. Again, on my first read, i would say no. So i think there is active education that is going to be needed at a fairly rapid rate to the board of supervisors as this does affect or Small Businesses and all of the various nuances of what businesses how they chose to operate and the decisions they made often in communication with their employees. So if that answers your question. Yes, i mean, definitely. I think that this doesnt put a good will on the side of the Small Business, unfortunately, because we need workers. The Service Industry is so hungry for workers and we hire local and we hire everybody that we can and everybody is looking for workers. So i dont see how Small Businesses would necessarily argue hiring back people. I think that that is their plan. But were definitely getting into an area of, like, privat private determination for a business to employee on what lead up to this. So it definitely doesnt leave room for the good will expect reality of the Service Sector to already comply with this, without having regulations. I have a lot of questions. I completely agree, commissioner, and i think thats very well said. And i would say that for many Small Businesses, were so hungry for workers that if were choosing not to hire an employee back, there may be a good reason for that. You know, not everybody is a great person to work with and for even their coworkers, sometimes. And i understand the sentiment behind the legislation, but i have reflec a lot of concerns at mandating from the top and also adding additional reporting requirements to Small Businesses. That seems really problematic at this moment in time. Yes, we dont want to make it people for hire back people. So we need to mak make sure this doesnt do that. If you have a plan to hire somebody back but now you have to go through all of these steps. Right, thats right. And i think the one overarching concern is that i dont know if the legislation was written which will have to reach out to the supervisors office, we have yet to do that, to get a full briefing on it, but, again, is it making the assumption that businesses are going to be returning to full operations and so much of what businesses are still waiting to hear from is from the city and the department of Public Health just to the degree of how theyll able to operate their businesses . Thats still a big unknown for a high number of businesses. So its not just within the business purview of how businesses will be conducted and how employees will be there to conduct it. So much of that is influenced and impactedpy thed by the citys determination. And lastly, im going back to some of the early questions. Oewd and our office are taking different sectors such as manufacturing, office space, retail, and were working on personal services and starting to develop what may be what it looks like to come back what will be some of the requirements to come back to open and conduct businesses . So personal services such as hair salons, tattoos, things where theres definite humantohuman contact, those will probably be on the tailend. So i do, to your question, i think, commissioners azunis, there is information to work on what it will look like to have these businesses open. And with that, ill conclude my remarks. Ok. Are there any members of the public who would like to make comments on number 3 . Operator you have zero questions remaining. Public comment is closed. Next item, please. Item 4, commissioners report allows president , Vice President and commissioners to report on Business Activities and make announcements that are of interest into the Small Business Community Business might. Item. Commissioners, any updates . Yes. I just wanted to make a couple of comments. I know myself and probably all commission ecommissioners will o reach out with the updates paper that weve put out and i know i can share that with the poke street people, the northeast people and we need to get that out because im very anxious to hear what our Business Associations would say about it. I think they havent had that opportunity to see it and i think that is extremely important. I agree. So as soon as the final document is drafted, we will have that forwarded to all of the commissioners and, as well as all of the Business Associations that are on osb mailing list, if thats possible. And i will say that it has been a supporting document on our website for, since at least thursday, friday, but i hear your point and not many people may have had the chance to see that and reflect upon those recommendations. So i agree, we should get as much comment and feedback as possible. Yes, before our next meeting. Right. Commissioner, ukudio. Thank you very much. I wanted to report back on the survey that we conducted on the valencia corridor merchants. Im on the board of the Valencia Corridor Merchants Association which is the longest stretch of the independently Small Businesses in the country, i recently learned. It was an amazing survey. I have some numbers. So 89 businesses participated, which is a lot, considering i believe its an eightblock radius and we have a lot of businesses to fill out the survey. It ranges from less than a year to over 62 years. So we had a very wide range of length of Business Ownership. 48. 3 of the businesses were completely closed and 21. 3 were doing delivery or takeout and 39. 5 applied to the Resiliency Fund that oewd created and 17. 4 applied for the zero interest loans that the city created. And 9. 3 applied for the neighborhood minigrant and thats probably because were not considered in an economically depressed corridor. Im not exactly sure why. 84. 9 applied for ppe and so, a very Strong Majority of people and 62. 8 applied for the employment Economic Injury the disaster loan. 51. 2 have not received any funding whatsoever. And 41 have been rejected from funding and so ive been told they will not be receiving it. Of the corridor merchant own ow, 15. 7 spoke english and 47. 7 are womenowned businesses who responded to our survey and 1,184 people have been either furloughed or let go on the corridor, based on our survey with and average of 13. 3 per business. 16. 93 of merchant owners have not paid themselves since this started at all and 20. 5 paid something of a reduced salary. 50. 95 have either 100 or 95 revenue drop, 13. 8 responded if they do not receive Financial Assistance theyll have to shut down permanently and the rough estimates to reopen is 25 to 35 per merchant. There were reopening amounts that were astr astronomical andy 51. 9 expected to rehire 100 of their staff with or without ppe. We asked are you planning to rehire 100 because you got ppe and are you planning to hire 100 and only 51 expect to rehire. 31 set up a gofundme and we received a ton of idea to beautify the corridor. Lots of good information there and i think this is a survey that could easily b utilized are city to get a sense of, you know, how many of these businesses are received funding and how long do these businesses have as a runway and how much does it cost to reopen and what percentage are owned by women and folks who speak english as a second language. So im happy to create a version of this at the osb an. I completely agree that this is something that could be deployed either at the Association Level or citywide and i think we should have a conversation with osb staff about whether we have the mechanism to deploy a survey like this and we need to figure out how that plugs into our current triage. If you could forward that, it would be great. Happy to. Commissioner huey . Thank you very much. I really just wanted to put a couple of exclamation marks on some of the things. I think one of the things that was mentioned earlier is streamlining processes and having a onestop shop. After talking to so many different people in the last few weeks, i really feel like Small Businesses have to know where they stand in terms of, like, fees and deferrals. I dont even know what the final tally is, annually, unless i look in my quickbooks and things like that. My feelings of the conversations and. inaudible . Its not an old paradigm of small versus big business or im sorry not business but government. People think of small government versus like whatever. I think what i would like to see in San Francisco and maybe starting with the Small Business community because we are so innovative and how Technology Fits or parameters. Not selling any of our data or having anyone profit off of our data but using this so our community can thrive and that to me is the opportunity that i see in the Small Business community. And so im hoping that as we start to look at these things, and even like if something what the director talked about in terms of this last backtowork ordinance piece, im so appreciative she brought that up and i would like to dig into that more. Thats another fee were talking about. We just went through a fivepage document how to streamline the process and now were creating more systems and processes. And thats just going to be another piece that i dont quite understand yet. So i feel like, you know, as a commission, if we can kind of keep pushing for the innovation to lead into government, to me, i feel like that would be a huge win for this rebuilding process. Ive attended meetings and talked to people i dont know, but thats one piece that i saw. I did see, too, in one of our meetings where rodney fong mentioned there were 114 different line item or different fees. And so that leads me to believe the chamber does have a lot more data that maybe we arent tapping into. Instead of duplicating work, i would like access to the merchant corridor and all of the data. Maybe if we need data, we can put a call out to different organizations to be able to kind of support us so that were not doing all of the legwork over again. Thats been a huge work ive. Wonderinivebeen wondering, ands entirely possible. I think those are my key things. Excellent suggestions. Thank you. The challenge with data, particularly with data gathered by Business Associations is that the associations representative one slice, one particular constituency. In my experience, theyre very happy to share what they have and you have to be cautious about interpreting it because in businesses than can afford to join tend to be more successful than a crosssection of Small Business citywide. And so you run the risk of leaving out important voices which is why in our document we try to encourage the city to collect specific sets of data, which is not to say your idea is a good one. Its a great one but that is something we have to keep in the back of our minds, is that the scope of what we do is much wider than the scope of your typical business association. Commissioner cartahena. I wanted to report back on a couple of updates in the commission. We have tackled Small Businesses to food scarcity, Immigration Services during covid19 and, obviously, the disproportionately impact it has had on the Latino Community in San Francisco. Also, at meta, we were able to get 20 ppp loans pushed through. And so latino Business Owners rejected by the majors, we took them and we went through the process and we currently have 20 loans funded. Weve in, partnership, with oewd have reallocated funds. no audio . I think we lost him. Sorry about that. And then if addition, i wanted to give some shoutouts and just to let everybody know, Small Businesses are not only worried about themselves, theyre helping the community and there are restaurants that have been instrumental in serving seniors, readytoeat meals at their costs. inaudible . Also our former president , he donated bags in order for us to be able to deliver food. Were sorry, your conference is ending now. Please hang up. And lastly, just a shoutout to businesses can you hear me . Yes. And just lastly, a shelf we o our food drives or deliver foods to seniors without vessels to put them in so any bags would be greatly appreciated and thank you to Small Businesses. And also the ggra, miss thompson, she has a survey and she did it in spanish. Its a killer survey and thank you for including or people in it and thats all i have to report for now. Commissioner ortiz, thats an excellent update and can i ask that any work product or output from that mission Recovery Task force, would you be willing to share it with the commission . Certainly, especially as it pertains to Small Businesses. Ill have more data as we progress. And if theres anything that we can do to assist or be helpful, definitely continue to let us know and even if its just shooting me an elizabeth ea text. I want to make sure were constructive in making sure they get everything that we can offer. I appreciate that, president , and i appreciate your efforts to be culturally sensitive to our needs. Thank you. Sure. Any other commissioner comment . Seeing none, are there any members of the public that would like to make a comments on item number 4, commissioner reports . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Next item, please. Item five, new business, allows commissioner to introduce new items for future consideration and Commission Discussion item. Any commissioners to introduce new business . Commissioner ukutiel. The only new business to add was, ive heard that supervisor peskins office is working on a packet of legislation to involve fee installatio instigation. Thank you, commissioner. Youre making me feel bad because i should have mentioned that during the commissioner report. Supervisor peskins office has been working in coordinating. And that item will come before the commission in a future hearing and theres been some great conversations facilitated with both cdma and gg ra, as well as a few independent Restaurant Owners and getting lots of different inputs and so i think this will come before the commission. Its on a current 30day hold and its not an emergency legislation. It will come before us and well have a chance to review the legislation and what is finally proposed once they figure out theres a lot of ongoing discussion in the background about what should be and shouldnt be in the legislation. So were letting that process work itself out. And can you clarify, is it fee mitigation hes working on . It is a whole suite of items, not just fee mitigation and so my experience, without speaking to this legislation in particular, but my experience in past legislation is that stakeholders will get together and negotiate amongst themselves what seems to make the most sense and represents everybodys interests. Obviously, our role is to represent the Small Business community and to the extent ive participated in this discussion, its been largely to support the Small Business folks and make sure that their interests are represented. When it comes before our commission, well be looking at it through that lense. Thank you. And is there any other new business from commissioners . Sseeing none and if anybody thinks of anything while im talking, feel free to pop in on the chat. I will introduce one bit which is, i do ive been harping on this for, since i think my first meeting, as a commissioner, and thats i think that the Small Business commissions communication, Technology Needs a dramatic overhaul and update and i thunderbay the covid19 crisis has underscored and underlined thats the same thing, but whatever has made it clear that we do need to focus on that and that we cant lose sight that thats an important task that needs to be implemented and as expeditio exy as possible. It would be great to roll this out to the Small Business community in a very streamlined and quick way, it would be great if we could text it out to folks and it would be great if we could send text notices of an upcoming meeting so people can have their voices heard during Public Comment, that they would have an easy way to submit Public Comment and that they would have easy access to documents. You know, even just listening to the hoops that people have to jump through to make a Public Comment. They have to dial a tendigit number and access code and then after that, ten. To me, that is too difficult and it is asking too much of folks to keep track of all of this to keep track of their businesses and survival and getting through this tough period. And i just wanted to put out there that its important to think about all issues affecting covid19 and affects Small Business, but we, at the same time, have to think about the infrastructure of the commission itself and that the commission itself needs to build and improve and be a better version of itself and i think that is our biggest opportunity right now is to improve how we communicate with the Small Business community. So im just going to emphasize that we need to keep that front of mind and really develop resources to making sure i that gets done. The reason im letting you all know is because theres lots of Different Things that we devote resources to and so, this is something that we need to plug into that triage. In terms of assessing how we allocate our limited resources and staff time and this is a conversation between all of us. Not necessarily tapped down. But i want to make sure that important task is not forgotten or lost. So with that, if we do not have any other commissioner new reports, we will open it up to Public Comment. Are there any members of the public to make comments on item number 5 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Next item, please. Please show the off of Small Business slide. We will end with reminder that the Small Business commission is the official public forum to voice your opinions and concerns about policies that affect the Economic Vitality of Small Businesses in San Francisco. And that the office of Small Business is the best place to get answers about doing business in San Francisco during the local emergency. If you need assistance with Small Business matters, continue to reach out to the office of Small Business. Next item. Item 6, adjournment, action item. I move. Seconded.

Supervisor fewer we have the mayors Budget Office and our controller. Good morning, supervisors. This is kelly kirkpatrick. I have a brief update for you all as i provided last week on the citys kind of current operational spending since last week as well as an update on state and federal relief. As well as the state budget outlook on the l. A. O. Provided at a Committee Hearing last week, a look at the state budget. Im going to do a screen shot to give you a highlight of the topics. All right. Can you see that, chair fewer . Supervisor fewer yes, i can. Thank you very much. Wonderful. So update to our current year direct operational spending of the city from last week we spent about 42 million. The majority of which youll see is additional salary and benefit costs for city staff involved in the Health Crisis. As weve gotten to better understand fema reimburse, this is an accounting tracking as ive shared before. This is what departments have input as money that has gone out the door. So most of the costs for staffing is what i would call the peoplepower dedicated to our response. Capturing people who have been reassigned or reallocated to doc or e. O. C. Work. The majority of this is fema reimbursable. We expect them to include overtime, comp time and any new staffing added for direct Health Crisis response. But were working to just try to capture in the Accounting System peoples time dedicated toward this and were working with the Recovery Team to parse out and make sure were going to capture as much as reimbursable funding as possible. Its helpful to know how much staff time is being dedicated towards this response and the peoplepower i would say. Additionally, weve spent checks out the door of 9 million to house equipment and safety supplies. This is up about 3 million from last week. Its almost all new p. P. E. For the department of Public Health. And then notably here as well, again, this is cash out the door, bills that have been fulfilled, about 5. 7 million for a noncongregate shelter and other support services. This includes our noncongregate sheltering and it represents some initial deposits and costs for april for hotels that have billed us. I know there is a lot of other contracting in the works, just wanted to show this money has come through and gone out the door for shelter support and noncongregate needs, as well as i. T. And other Transportation Needs in the department. Last week the state announced a targeted program, a Disaster Relief fund for undocumented immigrants. 75 million represents the states direct contribution. Additionally 50 million will come from nonprofit foundations. And this represents 125 million total for undocumented adults. Its estimated that 150,000 adults receive onetime payments of 500 with the cap of 1,000 per household. Additionally, at the federal level, the Senate Passed as im sure we heard on the news another half billion dollars on Small Business and health care funding. And the majority of which is replenishing the 310 billion paycheck protection program. Its for Small Businesses to retain their workforce. The initial program for this was 350 billion and as we all know, the need far outpaced the funding available. There is additional funding for other types of Disaster Relief funds as well as 75 billion for hospital relief and 25 billion for testing and contacttracing. Thats another typo. I apologize, were working quickly. Contacttracing. And then the senate will resume in early may. Its our sense and the news is reporting that additional relief efforts will be discussed when the senate reconvenes. You know, the mayor as well as other local leaders and even state governors, including Governor Newsom are pushing hard at the federal level to ensure we have relief at the local level through the next cares 2. 0. One thing of particular interest to this director and hopefully to the council is [inaudible] we have received 150 million for the first cares act for the operation directly related to new covid spending, but it does not allow to backfill any lost revenue. That is a push. Advocacy amongst ensuring that we have support of our Small Businesses and vulnerable populations who are disproportionately impacted. Last week, the state l. A. O. Provided a report at the Senate Budget Committee Hearing on the state of californias economy. L. A. O. Reported and the governor stated that california has entered a pandemicinduced recession. The drivers of this are covidrelated costs, higher benefit drawdowns. In california, people are eligible for various Entitlement Program based on income, so we have significantly more people drawing unemployment, medicaid which is additional costs to the state and this is compounded by decreased revenues. The state is, as im sure were aware, 1215 of californians have lost their jobs which is contributing to these macro budget impacts. The budget shortfall, the upcoming fiscal year for the state to reach 35 billion. This is exceeds the state spending of 20 billion. And this revenue loss, according to l. A. O. Is on par with revenue losses during the great recession. As a result, l. A. O. Recommended that the legislature in the near term. Its kind of more messaging weve been sharing over the last couple of weeks. It will take us several months to get a fuller picture of the impact on our budget of this dual increased costs and Community Need with a rapidly shrinking and diminishing revenue. The l. A. Oo. , similar to what were planning for with the support of this committee, has moved their budget process back by a couple of months to allow both of those things to happen. The l. A. O. Has projected two different shapes to the economic downturn. In our march joint report update we provided two scenarios of recession. One was a v shape, meaning it was a rapid decline of revenue and a quick snap back. The l. A. O. Provided two scenarios and theyre different letters. Our high end scenario was the same as the one that includes a ushaped downturn. So it was a more prolonged kind of impact, but there is a pronounced recovery kind of snapping the economy back. Theyve also presented something theyre calling an lshaped downturn. Which is a sharp downturn with a slow resolution to the covid response. Inadequate as they framed it and creating a protracted recession. As i said, it will take more time to understand the shape of this, but just trying to help people understand the potential or the magnitude that could come as result, depending on what the pandemic looks like in the coming months. In terms of expenses, the state is estimating at least 67 billion of additional spending related to covid response. This does not include entitlement spending, for programs like medicaid or cal works or unemployment, but just like weve been saying at the local level, current federal funding will cover some covidrelated spending, but not revenue losses. Similar kind view of how this is impacting the State Government like were viewing it for our local budget. I just wanted to highlight that yesterday the mayor and the treasurer announced additional deferrals of various businessrelated fees. The newest one that we announced yesterday and that the mayor is introducing in an executive directive amendment this week is extending the Business Registration fee deadline by four months. This is 49 million of deferrals that impact almost 90,000 businesses, the majority of which are Small Businesses in San Francisco. Weve also further delayed the unified license bill which includes many different departments such as food safety and fire safety permits and businesses will not be penalized by individual departments for not having paid these. It feels like a 14 million relief to our local businesses. Well still ensure there is safe food and fire safety, but its just the fee part by businesses providing that relief. And of course weve done a lot at the local level to help support our local businesses. I know there is a lot of need out there. But weve done weve done taken many different angles at trying to support our Small Businesses, Small Business community. With that, im happy to answer any questions. Or take any feedback for subsequent presentations that would be helpful to you all over the next couple of weeks. Supervisor fewer thank you. I see president yee in the queue. President ye president yee thanks for the update. Just curious, we have some information about the state unemployment. Just wondering, do we have anything local . Does San Francisco in particular how badly this has hit the unemployment . Thats a great question, president yee. I dont readily know that. That is an indicator that tends to lag in terms of our ability to receive it. I can get something for you all next week. President yee thank you very much. Supervisor fewer any comments or questions . I actually want to comment. We had a conversation, my staff and the Controllers Office about how were filing for reimbursement. And i just thought it would be good information to share with the rest of the budget committee. I was concerned that the reimbursements will be lump sum coming in after we hit sort of the first wave and we wouldnt get reimbursement in a timely manner, but perhaps the Controller Office can explain the reimbursement and how were filing for the reimbursements . Sure. Hi. This is the Controllers Office. I can speak a little bit to this now. Were happy to provide more information at next weeks meeting. In general, for our fema reimbursements, were submitting a request every two weeks. I believe weve submitted at least two at this point, but we can confirm that. And there is a number of pieces of information that come into that, so it sounds like that would be more of the details about what were collecting and how were submitting that would be helpful for the committee. And we can definitely get that for you. Supervisor fewer i think that would be great. Im wondering, are we able also to know ament 0 amount of reimbursements were actually filing for every two weeks . I can tell you that the first one was for 26. 5 million. I need to check on the subsequent. I dont want to tell you the wrong number. Supervisor fewer sure. I just meant ongoing for the budget committee. Were keeping close watch on because of the budget deliberations in august about how quickly were getting the reimbursements and an idea how were replenishing the costs were putting out. If we could have an update. And when you are submitting those requests for reimbursements, the amount of reimbursements. And then later on if were receiving those reimbursements and reimbursements to date. Sure, well definitely have that. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Any other comments or questions for the Controllers Office or the mayors Budget Office . Seeing none, this is open for Public Comment. Any members of the public that would like to comment on item number 1 of the budget and Appropriations Committee . Madame chair, operation is checking to see if there are any callers in the queue. Operation, please let us know if there are any callers ready . Madame chair, there are no callers wishing to speak. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Public comment is now closed. Id like to make a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. Could i have a second, please . Second. Supervisor fewer thank you, supervisor. Madame clerk, roll call vote on the motion. On the motion to continue this item to the call of the chair, walton aye. Mandelman aye. Yee aye. Fewer aye. There are four ayes. Supervisor fewer thank you. Is there any other business before us today . No further business. Supervisor fewer were adjourned. Thank you very much. You know ive always wanted to do this job that drives my parents crazy we want to help people i wasnt i did not think twice about that. I currently work as cadet inform the San Francisco Sheriffs Department ive been surprised 0 work within criminal Justice System field i had an opportunity to grow within that career path.
