This was moved and seconded one june june 14, 2016 can i have a approval from the rules committee . These were all required as part of the local plan we did not have them at all prior to this and. I would like to invite liz blanco to please come forward and answer any questions that you may have. Are there any questions . Actually of a proposed amendment to one of the policies. 6164. 4 the adoption of the right for evaluation. I looked it up in the faq it is on our website and i do think it is important to have in our board policies and it is a legal right of our parentsand what i would propose is that in the final paragraph of our policy that after the words concerning their child i would add the phrase and the right to request an independent educational evaluation at district expense if the Parent Guardian disagrees with the districts evaluation. Is there a second . Second. Pres. Haney, can we ask the council to give us advice on that . Commissioner norton, the change that you requested i believe is contained in administrative regulations if you are restating the law that the parents have a right to request that and there may be circumstances where the district doesnt agree to that request i dont think the language you propose rules out the possibility but i dont think that your amendment proposes when he stated by i dont think your amendment proposes any legal issues. Just could you repeat that amendment . So after the phrase concerning their child which in the last paragraph and with a. I would insert and the right to request an independent educational evaluation at district expense if the Parent Guardian disagrees with the districts evaluation. Is the law. Do you want to take a vote on this amendment . Okay. [roll call vote] 7 ayes. Shall we take a vote on the resolution now . As amended . [roll call vote] 7 ayes. We are going to move up to item p introduction to all proposals and assignment to committee it we have some speakers waiting here andi am going to read the proposals for First Reading and these are policy im going to call Public Comment right now we have a few you would like to speak on this resolution ] reading speakers [ you all will have five minutes total. Good evening members of the board of education i am from the George Washington high school jrotc program. I think that the First Amendment is important for the teachers as well as the students and this is part of the background of the board policies 4119. 25, 4279. 25 and 4319. 25. Ask the students are not allowed to express their First Amendment if the cannot be involved in these decisions how are we expected to understand the consequences on our global policies if they knew what happened when they left none of these wouldve happened if ourhumans do not understand politics through school we could possibly repeat the same mistake or worse. That is why the student should be allowed to voice our opinions on school matters. Thank you. Good evening everyone i meet thater and im speaking on behalf of George Washington high school i feel this resolution is an insult on our First Amendment rights for to our political involvement as part of jrotc it was not our instructor that encouraged us to speak up here i was not forced by anyone it was myself im here to show you all that i students have voices to i hope that you think of this when you take this into consideration. Good evening everyone my name is shiloh cruz and i am an upcoming senior at high school. I willingly agreed to participate in these matters. When i was at the last Board Meeting i was distraught to see this resolution come at hand and i think that this impedes as exercising are right and impedes on our political processes. Our instructors are not sharing a political point of view during instructional time it was our own willingness to participate in such matters. That life to say. Thank you. Hello my name is wilson cal i am an upcoming junior at Abraham Lincoln high school this resolution bans us all from being able to participate in your political events but it alsoi think that you guys should not assume that we are being forced here thank you. Thank you and thank you all for being here and waiting. Lets see where was i . We had one more policy. Going back to item h. 16614sp8board policy 3300 expenditures and purchases bp 0430comprehensive local plan for special education bp 6159individual Education Plan bp 6159. 1 procedural safeguards and complaints for special education bp 6164. 4 identification and evaluation for individuals for special education bp 6164. 41children with disabilities and rolled up by their parents in private school moved and seconded onand there has been in our district background a little bit it is kind of presumption that the board ought to be paying attention to lots and lots of Small Contracts and in the past there issues of transparency that are completely cleaned up in my opinion lately and we have controls on that and it is important to note that all big districts are at the legal limit in los angeles has its own much higherlimit and further there is a lot more cleaning up of the process here and a lot of administrative breeds have been in our policy and some have fallen off over time in our district and that is sort of the substance of these and again the Committee Recommends approval. Mr. Superintendent. Thank you pres. Haney i would like to ask Councilmember Danielle to read this into the record. [reading policy] any questions or concerns . Roll call vote please.

The requested action is that the board of education of the San FranciscoUnified School District ratified the Facilities Use Agreement for the 20162017 school year negotiated with the Charter Schools by the superintendent or designee as set forth in the resolution. Commissioner walton. Just a quick question are we allowed to get involved in the schools parental agreement we make what we have is six agreements in lieu of prop 39 that would run concurrent with the charters authorized by this board and they have been in the district for over 10 years or in district facilities or the first year which would be 20162017 the amount that has been negotiated is the maximum amount allowable under the prop 39 regulations. There are schools that this year the current year 2016 2017 [inaudible] and here is a Current School that will pay 360 in 1774. Ra lets take a vote [roll call vote] 7 ayes. Thank you. Item l discussion of other educational issues there are none tonight. Item m is consent calendar resolutions removed at previous meeting for second reading an action and there is none and item n is vote on consent calendar and that was moved and seconded under item g. Please vote. [roll call vote] yes but i have to object on the organization of Community Developers due to this resignation. Okay, i will come back to you. [roll call vote] i had a couple of noes on items k6781,82,92,107, and 108. Because they were all retroactive. Okay consent resolutions for immediate discussion we had a few. The first one since i severed it we had to vote on it priority gave my input but it was the budget transfer which was b2. And that was just transfer number seven . Yes. [roll call vote] mr. Walton . What are we voting on . This is the resolution to item b2 in finance. [roll call vote] 7 ayes. This is a contract that im starting to look at more carefully cheer when it comes through and what i would like to request is an accounting of what we have paid since we started contracting with them to train teachers for inclusive practices. Im concerned about this contract because i feel like we should be building or we should have built our own internal capacity at this point and you know, i would just really like to understand how teachers who are receiving the coaching and support and training from stetson how we have they evaluate the program and how we collect that feedback and i would just like us to be thinking critically i feel like we are a little bit one autopilot with them right now and i will like to feel that we are thinking critically about why we are continuing to contract at this level of support and coaching and why we have not built that enough of that expertise and capability internally at this point because it has been probably seven years i think. Is that right . Six. If i can respond to that some of the work that we have done has been sheared and they been working school for five years and we are building a catalog of courses that staff can take online. Some of the repeated cost is for new courses and you can visit the courses on sped. Org and we are developing and on boarding for paris to take the course before they come into the classroom is not the best way that we can provide pd this is to prepare them and this year it is on deepening coteaching and across the system we are developing a stepbystep training model our hope was we would have our own coaches we trained cadre last year and part of that is the turnover in staff especially in administrative staff and Teaching Staff and we have two go stepbystep with initial training and stop at a been here longer were going into deeper modules of cotraining and we started the mentoring program also initiated by sicilian dodge with supervisors that we work with and many went on to promotions and the School District and so the new group of supervisors that we had last year were relatively new administrators so we brought back the Coaching Program for them so, i am happy to give you the whole evolution because we did look at it with superintendent carranza and the chief academic officer to look at the progress and we get an update every year and youre welcome is the board to have the update and theres also a budget to go along with that so that you can have a greater understanding but we do want to build capacity because that is our goal and stetson has given us their right to be able to be able to repeat the training they do not do that with every School District that they train in but they are confident that we will carried out with fidelity but we just need to have a group of trainers to stay with us. If i can just get an accounting of what we have spent on stockton since we started to use them and also do we get evaluations from some of the teachers and administrators that went through the training and if so, can i get some of that feedback . That would be helpful . Lets take a vote. [roll call vote] 7 ayes. Did we have one more or was that it . No, you pulled too, right . We have one more which is k1 16 on page 468 and the question that i wanted to ask was this is the request for a waiver of the employees doing outside work but there really retired employees and they cant do it, right . What i think you are talking about is somewhat of a template and that policy does refer to these retired employees but these other policies referred to current employees and just say you know these policies will be back in the fall to update them and also we are working very hard my question is that i dont think ive ever seen this in a Summer School program before . Have we ever . Yes they always, require a waiver do we have waivers for the Summer School employees before . Yes . Thank you. [roll call vote] 7 ayes item p we did, item q. Item q is introduction of proposals for immediate action a notice of suspension of board rules and we have one from commissioner murase and commissioner norton and that is in support of prevention of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence. [roll call vote]. Seven ayes. Now a motion and a second on a formal introduction. And the reading of the resolution by commissioners murase and norton. In support of the prevent and of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence 30 of female individuals were raped between the ages of 17 and 19 and 20 of girls have been victims of Sexual Assault and additional studies have estimated that between one and five i school women and one in five High School Men have reported Sexual Violence and under federal title ix from sen. Anna beth jackson in 2017 all Public Schools and private schools that receive public funds and county offices the education and Charter Schools to provide prominent information required in title ix. And while title ix in the Civil Rights Act are safe places to work at and in 2014 the state legislature adopted the yes means yes law and these secondary institutions of an affirmative determination of whether consent was given from a student and that would be a firm and conscious agreement to engage in activity. And silence does not mean consent. In 2016 the Health Education classes give education on this law. They are required to give education on yes means yes and this is prohibiting Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault in San Francisco schools and the board of education requires that all administrators are trained on a yearly basis including and not limited to identifying Sexual Harassment, investigation of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault complaints and accommodation remedies and these are available in itemon staff and students that do not identify individuals but are not aggravated by race or status is with a disability or socioeconomic status or type of incident where is beginning in the fourth grade the districts Health EducationProgram Provides education to health and support prevention of Sexual Harassment and a coordinator to prevent Sexual Harassment in the schools and someone to certify k12 coordinators in the state and this provides staff administrators and students to absolve Sexual Harassment at all levels of the organization fully complying under its obligations under the Education Code in title ix which prevents application of employment with all forms of Sexual Harassment including based on gender identity or their notions of masculinity or femininity and further resolve that staff will educate within the school no later than 2000 1718. Along with the site and that district coordinator along with coordinator along with board policy 5145. 47 in addition Contact Information to the districts title ix coordinator shall be posted on every School Website with a link to the districts Sexual Harassment policy and the offices resource webpage and be further resolved that the districts title ix coordinator willassign a title ix officer to identify Sexual Harassment and the engagement of Sexual Harassment complaints and education under this and their rights if harassment occurs. Questions or comments from the board . I have some questions and comments . Commissioner fewer . Im looking at this and thinking there is a curricular component of budgetary component and also what it misses is this title nine coordinator was not doing under the duties of this person what have any holistic assessment of the Current Situation or culture at the school and also it talks about sex discrimination but i think this is really a resolution in prevention of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence but i just think that it doesnt get to the core of it and this is after talking to somepeople that are really ask upset for the lack of resources for victims and Sexual Assault in our schools and i think that it is wellmeaning and wellintentioned and i could vote for this but i dont think it has a lot of meat. I think it needs to be stronger but i think if it had gone through committee it might be stronger because there couldve been some feedback from for example the department and i think we are really looking for prevention but were also looking for a Culture Shift and if we are not looking for a Culture Shift and then i stand corrected but i think what it is going to take is a Culture Shift in our schools and that is a personal opinion but again, i think there is a curriculum component to it and a budgetary cost to it if we really want to do it well and i think that there could be another be it further resolved if it actually digs a little deeper and maybe addresses the issue of Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault in our schools and how the resources that are available to the victims because thats what im hearing repeatedly from young women is that they go to people for help and people ignore me and even people whose job it was to do so they just kind of blow them off and that was the main complaintand that was just my first thoughts on this but you know, it pushed back and i just think that it is also about Training Staff on how to adequately respond in a sensitive way that it is lawful and responsible also and also think that we are looking to address that and i think that it is really needed. I would just like to sayi would be interested in doing a hearing on the set curriculum of what are we doing and what is also needed and i take your comments in faith and i would like to look at this in more depth and see is there more that we should be doing. I think we are trying to solve a problem. We are. I feel like we are trying to solve a problem. I just do not think this gets to really solving the solution to the issue. Im sorry i spoke commissioner mendozamcdonnell had her hand up. I just want to say that this is the last meeting of the school year are going to go into recess and i dont think this can wait until the Committee Reconvenes in august. Actually, we meet again in august and the school does not start until late in august and this could go through committee and be reevaluated and made stronger and still pass before school starts. That is another one of my questions is what was the urgency because it does feel like it is getting pushed through . Im just curious . I appreciate thei appreciate the thoughtfulness and this too but i agree with commissioner fewer that it could go through a couple of committees but i am curious about the consequences for those who violate and we have some considerations right now that we are going to have to be addressing and i dont know what the as we think about this more deeply what the consequences would be for someone who violates you know this component a policy that we want to put in. Thank you pres. Haney. Just to echo some of the same things i really would like to see what a curriculum could look like and also cost estimates for a curriculum and signage across the district and then the third thing and maybe not just for our district but i think as we look at University Campuses across the country and in the state as we look at other School Districts finding some other way to strategize and find a universal system of even determining what affirmative consent is and what it looks like and i think that we need to figure out how that works so that there are no lines burned as we move forward and not only this policy but accepting a bigger impact to make sure that our young people are safe as they deal with relationships. I think that what were trying to say maybe is that there is a teaching component to it also. That we havent i mean it is stated in here but i also think it is about all school staff and how do we change a culture . How do we change a culture where actually women and our society are sexualized and how we take it so i feel like freely that sexual language were that violent language or just the consequences of doing it and how do we change the culture and the schools . I think that is the key. I think that is part of it. How do we change the culture of the schools [sneezing] bless you but how do we change the culture and then our students are also currently bombarded by these messages of women in a very sexualized way and disrespected in that way and so i feel like it goes a little bit deeper and as i said im happy it passes tonight but my recommendation would be if we could submit another one but we could also expand on this to be deeper and to maybe do some of those things that address the culture on it and i think that we have seen and support instances also where young male students are not aware of the consequences of their actions when they can be really held accountable with very serious consequences if they are 18 years old and the girl is 17 1 2. I mean, i dont think that we have done a good job on that either. Anyway, as i said, im happy to pass it tonight but i just think that we could do something much deeper but this in itself is also a very, very good start. Yes, i would like to echo that. I think it is very important for the board as a body to take a position a very strong position on this and already training is required for faculty and staff and by making a statement tonight i think it is a very clear message to the superintendent and the staff about the direction that we want to see in terms of the cultural change and there is already a requirement that healthy relationships be taught in our schools and one of the resolve causes is to have a briefing about the curriculum one healthy relationships so we will be asking staff to come forward with that curriculum and it is an opportunity to engage again and come up with additional remarks but i would like to ask my colleagues to support the resolution tonight. Commissioner norton. It seems like we have a lot of requirements already in this area and there are a lot of requirements in place and theres a board policy already in this area and i guess my recommendation would be this is a good start as we said and if there could be more question about what we can do and have more discussion about this up for the committee. What are we doing . When you met with kevin, did he tell you what is the stage of this are we starting in Elementary School are we starting preschool does that mean every grade from preschool up or what is it and to share with us for a moment what did kevin say about that . Did he say that we have people that know the curriculum considering we didnt have a middle School Health curriculum so, what did he say about that . I think that would be good to know. That is one of the reasons that i wanted to make sure that the full board gets a briefing so im calling for a briefing before the full board he did refer to me Health Education by grade level in a very detailed way but again, i think having the staff reach out to the school board is a way to hone in on these issues. Im having a hard time not knowing enough about the resolution. I want to support it but i just dont know enough about what we want to do so having report after we pass it seems backwards to me. One of the points of this is to comply with the reporting requirements ahead of the state requirements to show that we are very proactive on this. We want people to know about our title ix coordinator and how to get in touch with the title ix coordinator and weve had some issues in this area and we want to bring these up so that in the first day of school that these resources are in place. So you want to bring resources but the resources already in place . We will be looking for staff to post this information where labor notices are posted within the school. So coordinators are in place are the nonplace and do we have a budget for them . So we have a district slide and we will employ a trainer model to reach out to counselors and appoint site based coordinators and that is on the way and we are legally required to do that it is as well the curriculum is already legally required from grade 4 up so i dont know what the status of that is in terms of implementation and then commissioner murase already mentioned there is arequirement in terms of posting. So is this in addition to their regular job or is this a whole another position at the school site . This is in addition to the regular job . And have we designated who these people might be in addition to their regular job doing this . Yes, theres been discussion underway i a cant tell you i think the Wellness Coordinators and this i dont know if there are the designated title ix but there being trained and also the principal or vice principal will be the title ix coordinator. And is it that this title ix coordinator that they would also then have the authority to if it involves an instructor did not follow protocol is the title ix coordinator the person that would then address the issue with the person . So it would be the Wellness Coordinator . The title ix coordinators primary responsibility is to first recognize what behavior could be a violation of title ix and secondly to advise the student of the rights under title ix and give them information about that and then third and possibly most important is to connect with the district 9 title coordinators looping and resources and support for the school site as they investigate and address the issuein terms of discipline or followup or remedial action to the employees that would always reside with the employees immediate supervisor and the title ix coordinator districtwide or at site level and that is not part of their responsibility i think we should take a vote on this and this will we obviously need some more conversation about this in committee. Thank you [roll call vote] 7 ayes. Just following up on this are we going to have this for curriculum . This curriculum about healthy relationships is at every grade level . I would like to hear what it has to say about preschool and kindergarten. Great. Item r is Board Members report at the Standing Committee report from the rules committee and i think we heard the report im not going to go into that position on bills because we are at the end of the session and its getting late but miss bonan said that she would make some comments and references on the report but im assuming we will get a report of the schools budget and anything that the state has done is not reflected in the budget that we have . Commissioner, i believe the presentation that was made tonight included substantive changes. There were actually some words in the budget that we propose that we may want to report on some time and also the child care increase is child care reimbursement is reflected in the budget and we heard about the child care reimbursement and the high schools and then we heard something about the status of bills that may happen in the fall section which we could discuss subsequently of subsequent meetings andi think that and i would just take a minute to report on these and the question is about the likely passage of the state school bond and the prop 30 extension and the governor has not endorsed prop 30 but he has said in his remarks that without his permission we will see a deficit after next year and that would be when this expires and that seem like that softening of this conclusion because now that he has this on the ballot i dont think he is going to oppose it. On the bond he said i could be against everything but im gonna pick my battles basically he announced that he was and again all these things were things he said i dont want you to do and when we opposed him thankfully he is not earning against this. And the third would be the highspeed rail and water projects and we think that he will focus his attention on those things which are good for us and the property extension on the bond is good and that is the end of the report. Thank you very much thank you. Commissioner mendoza mcdonnell. So we focus most of our time on the bond. We got an update on the youth park which is now completely cleared and fresh soil is getting filled and then we also had an update on the Francis Scott key access and to get monitored any adjustments on it. Commissioner walden. Last week as you know the old was the mission of the bond and Board Members reports .

Susan. Commissioner president dwight thank you for having me. Im here today representing representative as a Small Business owner and long rent born and raised of Mission District and have a letter drafted as our president says have it in writing so drafted a letter hope youll agree how it effects Small Business and let me start by reading so i would like to urge that we support a process to make an informal process when was middle parking with the delores to be a form process let me even if review the letter we support memoranda parking with the Mission Corridor after a year the stakeholders reached a contention to allow for the continuation of memoranda park with agreed on modifications, however, the new residents not familiar with the route of the culture traditions of the neighborhood have so you get to accomplish the process one stakeholder which was by the way, myself was absent given the parking with the majorities voted against the agreed upon proposal not only an additional obstacle for those who come to the neighborhood for gashthsdz by the Small Businesses in the corridor will be harmed the longtime organizations if the mission are chord tenants with the regional shops and before returning to their homes outside the city with gentrification and displacement few have opportunity to visit the mission and not found in chain stores the memoranda parking has been more difficult for customers who rely on private transportation to complete such Shopping Trips particularly for consumers and those who purchase a large volume of merchandise and medium parking is an inconvenience but people are being displaced from the neighborhoods because of nutrition u gentrification those preserve the traditions the ability for customers to revisit and transport the good idea to their homes is essential for the connects of longer customers given the skaters of the Public Parking it operationally is a viable option in essence i want to say look those institutions were expanded in a commenced neighborhood and been the anchor tenants when the mission was dangerous new residents have a right and now have been adapted the Mission District and the Small Business corridor is a regional corridor with a lot of ethnic businesses and medium parking constitutes a primary reason those people traveled into San Francisco and the Mission District not only this is a gentrification but to Small Businesses Small Businesscant you to agree the reason that was vote against i the equalizing vote had a familiar emergency and this is Public Information where the minutes were recorded and are posted on sfgov website. Has the mta in are they in agreement with our plan to i mean have you worked a plan to accommodate their need. For over the year they were the facilitator and everyone in the Community Came and this practice is an informal practice that let the stakeholders to make it a formal practice those institutions understand that the committee was an inclusionary they know what the residents wanted and say weve been here before california existed some institutions were here before San Francisco were so they tried and w come up with a process and sfmta facilitated letting us know you know given us idea for a strurtsd process so as a result what youre asking for it is median parking that is permit during a timespan on a sunday or correct we came to the contention come up with a formal process that is something that is happening informally to make everybody happy on all sides. Commissioners, any questions. This is going on as long as i remember in the mission and always worked and. And it happens in other neighborhoods that are more influential i would like to say politically perhaps so it is funny that a community that has been gentrified out and Small Business english as a second language are targeted thats the greatest impact regarding this proposal. I have a question has been the case for many, many years on sundays; correct . Yeah. Specially on van ness when did this practice stop. Its not stopped. So the same an delores street; correct . Correct. Does the present practice violate parking code. Not enforced. So, yeah. So instead of making again an informal process were like hey stakeholders make that formal and listen to everything whether you live here two or three years a lot of the oldest stakeholders want to view the community and urban design part of the process there was a consensus that was reached to formalize the parking and the Business Community is in favor of this formalization. We had a letter of support from henry i cant say. Yeah. So the merchant corridors are in favor. Okay just to be clear other than subpoenaed where or what are the other days youre trying to legalize parking. And john from the sfmta when it comes to specific but technically sunday and a few other times friday evening arrest saturday it is specific and it is very directed to help those institutions draw the constituents. And you have the support of businesses for this. Yes. And the institutions that are technically nonprofits to have a great vacuum of constituency that outweighs the constituents but want to be supportive of everybody in the process. Without the churches where delores heights or so in the western edition the churches or Pacific Heights the double parking on sunday and special holidays and stuff is permitted and the city worked with that and you know granted they never enforced it but been a helping out of the you know is helped everybody a nobrainer. I know there is agreement in others neighborhoods with during the course so good for you. The situation new resident call for enforcement of the parking restrictions. Yeah. But part of the progress and the consensus plan we present to the board of sfmta they voted away i wasnt there so they would like to borrows the Current Situation regarding parking. What were the objections. That your parked illegally here in medium and causes the traffic it is an inconvenience. Did you say that theyre still negative impact on the traffic. I mean im not a traffic person but like commissioner Vice President adams said is it so happening before the existence in that community i dont want to say it didnt create congestion but for Small Businesses congestion is a good thing in a sense we want the volume of traffic in the community. Okay well should we hear in the mta representative briefly. Good afternoon. Thank you im john im a planner at mta. Hi john. In the committee i didnt come with is prepared presentation at all but i guess speaking to a couple of the comments you know this is been a very contentious issue within the neighborhood for a number of years commissioner ortizcartagena is correct the parking is gone on for decades we have records of complaints filed about that practice for many, many years and as he rightfully said Parking Enforcement is deprioritized fewer parking control officers and most of work in the court the parking problems are more important we will cite safety issues we did did do a bunch of Community Outreach definitely true the people that live in the neighborhood have fairly strong opinions weve not finalized the question does mta have is a proposal weve not finalized one but hopefully to the boards on the 16 in the survey of residents we find about 50 percent would be willing to find a fair everybody can park solution 74 percent wants to see the parking go away go together i want to be careful, you know, we had a what appeared to be a developing consensus among the Committee Members as we went through the as rightfully said the 4 to 3 vote with one person not there in favor of the parking and one Committee Rules for adopt a recommendation so the committee is not come to an official recommendation. Is the Committee Going to vote against. We did the San FranciscoNeighborhood ServicesSafety Committee went to reconvene so have all the people vote and the members that voted in the park indicated theyre not interested in participating. Okay. So so for in your evaluation did it represent a safety issue. I think. The perspective of the mta. The Committee Identified a number of issues caused by the medium parking we saw an expert data and analysis the safety was one issue we found potential safety issues recommended to cars that park up to the intersection that block the visibility of people were talking about and biking and late at the night there is if youre not technically supposed to park there sometimes for cars up until 4 in the morning that means someone in driving in delores they so one place the committee in its final recommendation attempt recommendation had completed agreement whatever happens with the parking that is formalized pull back from the corners for voishth and the Fire Department is waterproofing in agreement to changing others parking practices. Okay. Were there statistics about problems or accidents a record for. No record we did a we hear aspires about cars hitting you know definitely have been collisions we did a collision review we didnt find a pattern that suggested that somehow on sunday cars were parked there that go collisions happen for people walking that type of and i have a question subject to those elements on the corner and lots that were issues were addressed did you say that it can be safe to park in the middle and yes. I believe thats our position and second since youre the expert in dealing with the businesses it is beneficial to both sides; correct . To have this parking allow certain hours of day. The feedback that i think one of the issues thats glonts years the theres been an idea people parking there is going to church that is unfair bend the process people parking an delores with were going to church but in the afternoon to the shops the general feeling all the shops benefit from people being able to park on the medium and the commissioner mentions to be formalized and clearly formalized everyone is allowed to be there probably not 100 percent any group of people agree on anything but most of them seem to be supportive. One final question you may have said it just to be clear whats the next step for Dallas Fort Worth the restrictions and allowing the next step. Our anticipated next step well put together a formal proposal for the board ill say it likely will be for delores tooiptd were having conversations and well be taking it to the extension at this point in time to our board on august 16th. So the fact the vote commissioner ortizcartagena since that an inclusive review youll look at thank you thank you very much for coming today. Commissioner im sorry did you have a question. Come back. Commissioner yeeriley has a question. Is this thing not working again. It is. John thank you for your presentation and also you talk about the next step so what about are you looking at the time limits for people that are able to park there. Same car will not be there the whole day. Yeah. Probably the easiest way when we come forward we thought the committee developed into a commenced proposal we were trying to avoid mta to approve this we worked through that and at this time it was limiting the hours on delores and the question to allow friday nights Life Enrichment Committee where that currently happening not limiting limiting to certain hours on friday nights and serve the businesses and saturday morning and most of day on supdz weve not talked about two hour parking or any sort of you can only park for a certain number of hours thats not been the conversation at this point in time. I think that is beneficial for the businesses because theyre available for other customers. Thats a very good point were proposing to bring forward on the 16 to the Board Meeting not a specific proposal but were asking them to provide approval or direction on a direction do we want to formalize or get rid of it we want to hour the committees work so i think thats a great point wears getting direction to find a way to formalize the parking thats to be routine by the planning commission, and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote important conversation. Did you you talk with the churches about i know that sometimes 2 hour time limit can be short for them i hope you give them enough. 8 Member Committee and met monthly with a larger group of churches and synagogues to talk about the issues again, we didnt talk about the time limits if this is something well pursue but talk about that with the churches. First step determine if youll move forward or not. Thank you very much commissioners any other things or open up for Public Comment okay anyone wish to comment on item number this item. One moment please we have a speaker card well call those in order. Good afternoon commissioner president dwight and commissioners my name is a mr. Kim the pastor of corner stone church, i appreciate the opportunity to share the one that john led again kudos to john for facilitating a challenging issue four almost a year nature briefing i represent a church that parks only grrero on both sides and if youve never drivenl through that the church weve been working with we fully release it is given the level of traffic not an issue we also have the informal guidelines weve received from the sfmta and identified volunteers and coned off the areas and leave a couple of Parking Spaces on the medium for the left hand and we are as responsible as we can as a matter of fact im the one that called the mta to ticket our Church Members that stated too long on guerrero but as part of committee i do want to request that the commissioners support the letter and a formalizing this is one of the contention issues because of the ine informal clarity we can and cant park here and involved guerrero as well as delores and ill say if i lived on delorsaw or two cars were requesting i support this potential issue to formalize what happens on the sunday and were working with the judiciously synagogue and realized this impacts the city and as church of 2000 people and almost 15 hundred on a weekly basis we believe we bring a Strong Customer base to the Mission District we know a lot of the businesses and restaurants and also as william suggested whoops. Our church has been there thirty plus years at a time when there was not a hip place to be or favorable place we recognize a number of people that moved out and this is a provides availability for those to come into the city. Thank you for coming out and talking about. Any other speaker cards. Next is ace washington. First of all, i want to apologize i was aggressive you have to realize commissioner recused himself if the Mission Street and been there many, many years same thing i thought born and raised in the fillmore and felt you had a commissioner on your board that shellfish recommended the fillmore i dont know when you talked about issues in the fillmore you should recuse unifying but id like to know and perhaps need to find out maya angelou let me say i apologize if you feel im aggressive i have been called many things but a Community Activists born and raised in the fillmore you talk about gentrification if you been to the fillmore the gentrification it is and the body language let me say one thing im going to ask on the way you react to me, im an individual in the fillmore im going to speak on item 10 and request you come to our community and see if i get a nice response and talking about the fillmore and then not have to come up and give up and actor as angle activist ive been called a lot of things here and revolutionary no im a visionary ive been in the Community Many years from the user renewable we know as urban renewable you dont give a damn about it ill talk about Small Businesses on the tenth item. Members of the public like to comment on this item seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners we have any more comments. Motion in support of letter to the sfmta that william read earlier. I second that motion. Okay roll call vote. All right. The motion is to support the letter commissioiner Vice President adams commissioner dooley commissioner president dwight commissioner ortizcartagena is recused commissioner toursarkissian commissioner yeeriley commissioner zouzounis is absent that that item passes 5 to zero with one absent and one recused excellent. Okay all right. Item number 5 an update. Item 5 update on the legacy business deduction item your presenter is richard Legacy Business Program manager. Welcome richard. Thank you good work richard Legacy Business Program manager im slick rick im here asked at the last San FranciscoSmall Business commission to come forward on a presentation with the legacy business and where we are and heading so i have a july 2016 report in your packet and have a slide presentation. As of july 20th weve received 78 pneumonia and 26 applications and 9 of the applications have been reviewed by the Historic Preservation commission and 10 applications are currently in review by the Historic Preservation commission the 9 applications reviewed by the Historic Preservation commission were reviewed by the commission on the 20th of july i have them listed on slide number 3 and is 10 applications currently in review will be coming before the commission on the 3rd of august and theyre ten of those listed on slide number 4 im going to take a few moments to talk about the highlights additional items in the report but those r some of the highlights and the slide is the majority of where weve been and take a few moms in april of 2015 the legacy was established and a secretary hired and august 28, 2015, the Commission Secretary was the secretaries last day october 2015 the application was completed and received our first nomination november 2017 prop j passed april of this Year Commission secretaries first day after 8 months vacant and development the process and updated the instructions and posted on the website. On june 21st our first line applications were sent to the Historic Preservation commission and july 5th was my fizzed day and we added chinese and tagalog to the registry page and july 10th we sent 10 applications to the Historic Preservation commission and july 20th the first 9 applications were read by the Historic Preservation commission and on august 8th the 9 applications approved by the Historic Preservation commission were come before the Small Business commission we have created a calendar to show the deadlines for the applications based on the Historic Preservation commission and the Small BusinessCommission Hearing dates if this commission decided to extend the Business AssistantGrant Application to december 15th which is what were proposing the deadline for applications is october 3rd and that will give us a few more opportunities between now and then to get operations to the Historic Preservation commission. I have a quick question for the business legacy not the assistants; correct . This is for the registry thats correct. I have a question about the deadlines what do they the Historic Preservation commission has thirty days to review the applications siding the second column is thirty days before the thirds column and thought that is prudent to give the Legacy Business Program staff two weeks to rusts applications to so the first column is before the second column to give us time to review the information. Actually what you mean not a set deadline were taking the commission the Historic Preservation commission and then setting a date two weeks earlier. Yep. As. Yeah. As a recommendation we highly recommend to us by the third and the actual deadline to the Historic Preservation commission on the second column so were working with that most importantly. Benefits the Legacy Business Program we have a Business Assistant grant for all registers and grants 500 per employee for june 30th and we expect up to one hundred ftes we expect 60 to 75 recipients and extending the deadline. Can you clarify the first bullet for all registers for people on the registry versus the landlord so the next grant. Potentially vail. Yes potentially vail. Lets be clear on the same ticks. We mutt keep the expectation mark farrell be registered on the registry didnt domicile you to a grant it makes you eligible to apply a grant. And just also point of conversation for the second step that is to get the grant we are going to be setting some deadlines and working towards them. Guidelines and deadlines and applications. If i may take a quick moment the calendar that rick presented with this calendar lets see on the power point part of because we want to insure that when we get to dealing with the ability to be able to administrator the preservation grant we can clearly community to the applicants that if they want to participate in the 16, 17 grant circle the deadline they need to insure if theyre interested in participating the deadlines they need to insure theyre a legacy business registry application is submitted to the office for us to be able to process it in time them to be on the registry for them to meet the grant filings. Okay. On bullet number 2 grants equal to 500 thats a grant a maximum grant equal to 5; correct . Not automatic. Not automatic. An mainstream that can be up to and not to exceed 500 per ftes and again, im just trying to clarify so people dont immediately start calculating their grant based on the number of ftes times 5 hundred thats not the case it is dependent how many requests and your ability to distribute a limited sum of money to a group that will likely over describe that fund so maybe less than 500. ; is that correct. I apologize for the miss language. The power points sometimes theres shorter language and sometimes not a good thing. I want to clarify that is the place to do it. I appreciate that and the stabilization grants those are for landlords that do the estimation of 10 years and the wording from the legislation on the power point grant will equal 450 up to 4. 50 up to a maximum of 4 hundred and we estimate that. I have a question. R or do we estimate to accommodate them. Yes. The estimates come from the budget weve received and trying to get. Rough. This is not an estimate of the number of people we think will apply for the grant stabilization our ability to meaningfully distribute. It is a little bit of both. I think in terms of the what were looking at as were righting the budget number is the actual outlet of the Property Owners interested in signing a 10 year lease and then those that will be extending their lease to a total of 10 years i mean it would be an under estimations with the terms of the applicant with their leases that it is more of an kind of an estimations of those Property Owners the actuality of Property Owners engaging in a 10 year lease and communications with the investment neighborhood teams that with work a lot of the businesses as theyre trying to secure leases or new leases the conversation theyre having with Property Owners. The 4. 50 per year or month. Per year. And that should be noted that also for the businesses assistant grant it is a yearly grant and has to be reapplied for every year. And application is july 1st to september 30th just to make it simply well round up to 0. 38 a month per square foot. I have a clarification no, not at all. The process on the registry to grow the application through the Historic Preservation commission; correct . Yes. Yes. Now for the second step the business doesnt have to grow back to the Historic Preservation commission. No the applications; correct . The application is im sorry. The application is filed and then final determination is made by the Small Business commission and then once the commission makes it adjudicate it is places on the registry or not placed on the registry and then if the application for the ability for that business to submit an application for the preservation grant do that during that grant cycle application cycle theyll be able to do that or wait until next year the rent stabilization grant will be inevitable for a Property Owner on the registry thats role it during the year. For the Grant Application it does not have to be submitted to other commission. Right and per prop j so we will be doing the reviews of the grants soon the determination so youll be making the i have sorry the commission will hear all applications for the registry then you will be making approving grant guidelines or approving or making changes but voting and taking action on grant guidelines for us staff to for the Grant Programs of which those will not come back unless you want them but woolen going to be working targeted procedures staff will be approving the grants based on the approval guidelines you approve. Did does that answer your question. So not to backtrack i want to clarify so the grant of up to 500 per fte it also is up to 500 per year for per fte. 5 hundred directing per not per fte and while that grant is not really intended those grants are a populations to labor hours but a grant youll be making the determination so not today but at the next meeting youll be making a determination as to were going to be putting forward recommendations on what those grants can be used for and their application and well be youll be making the decision on what you determine are appropriate items for well cross that bridge when we get to it. It is youve to think of that in metrics we said and often Small Business think per dollars per power if i might to clarify one clarifying expectations 500 per fte amazed to 41 per month per fte it qualities to 0. 25 an hour. Thats the moment. Can you say annual grants. Im putting in perspective that 500 is equivalent to 25 an hour if you work an 8 hour work and take vacation just in perspective in a time when minimum wage is circulating at the one dollar per year okay so again, this is very important to me as the president of this commission and this hot low discussed matter that the stepgsz about the maximum benefits will likely benefit and what are the kind of just the understanding of what those benefits amount to say important i think the estimation has been created in the public this is a Silver Bullet and it is not so i think that we have been criticized because we have businesses out there that think were standing between them and survival. And so i offered those two carry on thank you. Thank you. Yeah. I just i want to thank you commissioner president dwight you expressed my sentiments were holding fund and recommend or ask like if there is fte you know if there is 5 hundred ftes what is the maximum if we spent all the funds on ftes whats the maximum so Small Businesses also understand that you know theres not an unlimited resources for every particular prom to that point thank you at the last meeting he requested not only this presentation but the presentation of the best Case Scenario for you know quite a few a couple scenarios whether a rauntdz or likely applicant and what they might expect under the absolutely best Case Scenario how it effects their business i think outside the box anyone that does Business Planning for survival planning around this Program Needs to understand in the best of words this might impact their survival by the way, it is not the intention and a our fiduciary responsibility to make sure we dont make a grant to a business that is going to fail regardless the fiduciary responsibility of this commission to make the grants with the expectation the reasonable expectation that that grant will have a positive effect on the survival of the business and not delay the inevolve. Thank you commissioner president dwight thank you that should breakdown by hours those grants are not for you to add one hundred employees to the false implication out in the media what is the impact of 25 crept if you administer the funds. Do you notice a hundred thousand dollars for your businesses to survive you need our bank. Okay sorry richard. Joined the conversation 0 so we talked about the rent stabilization grants and property the tenant acquisition grants for the nonrestricted Property Owners thats lose language that is registers to apply. It means the Business Owner that leases their maybe in how do you call it a nonparty not leasing from our parents or nephews so this is to a building. To be determined and where again loosely estimating 6 to 10 tenants. Have we made some rough estimated carve outs for that part. We so again were just providing you with a highlevel overall overview and at the next meeting youll get this ahead of meeting were developing and solidifying the guidelines from work that the investments Neighborhoods Program has been successful some of it will be for the ta improvements around helping around securing the leases to but again more to come. And this this will be a one time grant; correct . Correct. One time grant and get any bearings are we talking about closer to one thousand dollars or 10,000. Much one hundred thousand dollars grants. Closer to one thousand dollars or 10,000. Closer to 10 yeah. So, so that 3 has meaning in weight and the ability to help businesses secure what and again, the invested neighborhood the work that is done with some of the businesses to be able to secure and 5 year lease with some of the improvements just helps to do some stabilization. All right. A point of clarification about the the 10 year lease and the dollar and 0. 50 with a maximum of 5 thousand just to be clear a one time payment not a yearly a yearly payment so long as you get into the program that payment will be renewed each and every 12 years for the number of years that specified according to the lease extension. Okay. So this is not as long as theyre in the program those 4 recipients remain in the program. Their they will remain eligible for both the Business Assistants grants and the rent stabilization grant a reapplication every year but theyve been initially qualified the reapplication will be less a more simplyer application lets say for the Business Assistance grant we could be based on ftes and the next year the business could have fewer ftes or a greater number of ftes there maybe differences and for the you know the rent stabilization grant we want to insure the business is occupying that says that a business could decide to close and move and others variables not continue through the 10 year lease so their say requirements for the revifshgs but make them relatively insure and commissioner ortizcartagena revealed another aspect as the companies are followed by without increasing the policy increasing the availability of yes and no. I want to clarify that point as youre getting more landlord in the podium you are dividing the pot equally among the recipients. Get more money yep. Rick will be later in the power point showing you that part of the work were going to be beginning to at you know well be beginning to work with the businesses registered to early on make those dermsz in terms of trying to get ahead of what the grant request will be to be able to provide a report to the board of supervisors and to the mayor and so put those numbers before them and up to the mayor and the board of supervisors to determine whether they will increase the you know the amount of funding to the program if it needs it so again, it will be our reporting to make that determination in terms of what is the potential utilization and if theres no funding change the numbers increase and what the gra amounts look like this will be part of reporting obviously for you and because as part of budget requests that that you will be likely well be prebt to you and youll be likely you know making a determination as to you might want to push for a budget increase and then the board will make the determination as well. Business assistants is for the registries and that meaning theyre eligible for Business Assistance if they want and were estimating 77 assistants low receive that primarily this through the Business Services but we have other tools in place as well. And then promotion marketing working on the aspect so theres more later on. Just i think weve received funding in this budget year to develop a brand identity and Marketing Program were working on that. Again. Additional services next fiscal year were envisioning were looking at the possibility of getting sf shine grants for the improvement a program for that the appropriate registers adrc taking into consideration tool in the tool box and at the registering to the renters. Exceptions for this fiscal year we expect to disperse the 3 grants that we mentioned earlier and implement the Business Assistance and is promotion in marketing cases of the program and we will be as jeanie was saying requesting the fund for the next fiscal year when the term comes negotiation. The fiscal year runs june to. July one through june 30th. Thats correct and annually after that because we dont have to do that every year and well request the sf shine grants for next fiscal year in february when we do the budget and report to the board of supervisors is due every year on june 1st. For the next fiscal year we continue to express the grant annually and revert to the july 1st to september application for the Business Assistance grant and continue to implementing the Formation Services annually and disperse the sf shine grants and get them annually exceptions for that the fiscal year after that we will probably begin exploring the Property Ownership programs and then fiscal year for the funding ill be proposing goes back to how much general fund we are using for the program and really wise i think to think about diversifying. Fiscal year 2021 this is as far as i go in the presentation hopefully by then implements some of the Property Owner membership it maybe calculated and some takes a few years and hopefully implement some sort of option to different the funding. Whats the process nourp to implement the ownership. I would see those are ordinances well be voting. A or programs we create yep that would be 4 i mentioned maybe you encouraging tic ownerships and condo condominiumtion for the storefront and then looking maybe something for the federal 504 loan that is citywide and maybe something similar to the cast program but for the legacy businesses.

Thank you. Thank you all right. Commissioners any other comments. All right. So that so. No action on this item well move on to item 6 please. So commissioners for items 6, 7 and 8 i think i had you know sent to you in our agenda packet about discussion around nonprofits and my conversation to have a discussion my conversation has requested time to work with our office to further review the considerations around nonprofits so one i just im going to request that we still need to read into the record items 7 and 8 that we just continue those because some of the recommendations i would put forward you to today has questions around the discussion of nonprofits so id like to continue those but for item number 6 you know again to help with clarity since we have the opportunity to be on sfgovtv and to help explain to the Business Community to walk through the application process on the registry to be clear and identify some nuances of things were seeing so if we could read item number 6 into the record well review the applications but my request is that we will not be taking any action just to review the complication. Are you proposing we have a presentation by richard of the process by which one glosses the application. Correct uhhuh. My reading items 6 through 8. Were on the agendas separately and require separate Public Comments item 6 please. Item 6 discussion and possible action to make final recollections to the legacy businesses rules and regulations to administer administrative code section 2a 242 the legacy business registry discussion and possible action the presenter presenters are regeneral executive director of the office of the Small Business commission and richard program Legacy Business Program manager. Actually, i will have richard bring up for the public website for the application for the website so that the businesses can see and also for staff of the nominees i will have richard walk you through to reiterate the first process is for the business to be nominated by the mayors of board of supervisors and for them to nominee a business that meets the criteria that will be that richard will read into the record. Thank you. So i have the website here that can bring up this is the on the bottom of the registry page there are 3 different pdf the instruction from the enormities and the legacy business application a onepackage document all about the registry im sorry this is for the nominee oversees for the supervisors or mayor on the letterhead and the Contact Information and xhaits on the 3 criteria for the businesses operating in San Francisco for thirty years and caveat to contribute this the neighborhood history and the community to maintain the features to define the business. And then from there go to the process for the nominees the 3 eligible criteria for the nominees. I dont mean to trumpet you can you clarify who will be the recipient of that letter noems noemgs we have been dissolution not policy but i came on board ive been proposing that the nominations come in with applications trying to mayor that process and make it closer because weve been getting a lot of nominations and sometimes, the nominees dont knows about the programs and not interested in the program or dont have time to do on application that creates problems ive been given instruction to the mayor and the supervisors that we would like to see those come in more closely and they should reach out to the businesses and make sure theyre interested in the process and the program so thats hopefully going to improve some things. Thank you for that one i am not going to mention the business a business was to be nominated and no idea they are only nominated so you get a Crucial Point i hope the supervisors and Mayors Office are listening they say this is so key. It safes time for supervisors and mayor and the Legacy Business Program and safes times for the businesses as far the nomination are coming in with applications so thats been helpful. We go over the registration process still when the nomination comes in were contact the owner and it is not as important to reach out to the businesses quickly when they come in together the business has already filled out an application we work with the business to get an application well go over and once the application is complete we republic it to the Historic Preservation commission for review there are looking at criteria 2 which was how they add to the community and the neighborhood and then from there comes to the Small Business commission for a final review and what we really want to make it clear also that let them know when they come before you theyre presenting themselves you know for the request are to be on the registry with the Historic Preservation commission they does not need to attend it is advised but theyre not requested to present so we want to kind of make sure that process is clear and kind of their commitment in addition to the you know the pretty expensive commitment they need to take to fill out the application. Finally on the website the application itself we have again go over the criteria for those 3 criteria we want to make sure that everybody is aware we given guidance to the applicants throughout the whole process they need to concentrate on those 3 criterias. Can i point out something about the brief criteria it is so visually for the criteria each one of the criteria says essentially the Small Business commission were the office of the Small Business commission our purview is business i interpret business to be for profit enterprise and not a nonprofit and so were going to have discussion on this because lets remember that is the registry the registry is the knothole the gate for the Assistance Program if you cant be on the revengey you cant get assistance so ratified by the board of supervisors in the language business business business. All right. So thats a very important distinction because this preincludes anything happens on the other side mainly the consideration and the granting for the Business Opportunities businesses our purview i personally as a commissioner dont know about nonprofits i do know that they have different tax rules i do know they have different source of funding actually this City Government has Funding Programs nonprofits in fact, capitol hill for nonprofits they dont apply to for Profit Enterprises i regard this is as a separation of church and states for profit businesses and nonprofits enterprises and charities at the dont intersect in the commission we will have a discussion those two worlds dont intersect in the document the document that splifz the legacy business and my reading of the criteria is specifically business which i terminate for profit business and the others can disagree if they like it will weve been asked to delay our discussion because this year is interest in adrc nonprofits to this program and if we are to add them to the Funding Program we must have them added to the registry that will require we change the rules and accommodate in the rules specifically nonprofits and so their presently not included not excluded but i exclude them by virtue of the language so well move forward. I want to say that nonprofits are 2, 3, 4 pipeline in terms of applications and i understand nonprofits that are in a moment by the supervisors and the Mayors Office theyve completed and submitted applications for the registry ill suggest to you that the first call to action by making a nomination to share the entity meets the criteria of the document thats why i make that point and commissioners you know this was agendized we need to provide in the future some sort of some sort of clear direction to the nominee oversees its the nominee overse like to hold off on having an extensive we can have a discussion but making any decision as per request from the office of Economic Workforce Development to work with us. Weve been specifically asked not to make a decision but were i bring this up this is a discussion today and you mentioned the nominators im concerned about the nominees it is the nominees whos expectation cause foment among the nominators for the board of supervisors that have been yelling at us at every turn created expectation or we havent expectations have been kraeltdz criticisms even today, this commission didnt understand the legislation i beg to differ this commission understand the legislation as written and the supervisors and other in the meantime, bodies are in the not read the document maintained so on timeline and on nominees we have a lot of expectations out there which all the criticism falls on this body here okay. So it is not warranted and we have to clarify this. My advise to the commissioners not today but contemplate we have to have very definitive and clear to the extent we need widen room well fight this battle every single time a nonprofit comes to the table and so there will be some who say well, lets do it on a case by case basis and others say lets make a clear determination and fifth the battle ones in my opinion all not up front well create a bunch of rules that challenge the nominees and nonprofits into your in and out that will not work this will happen you clarify this is the bright line this commission makes if it chooses not to make the line it is all in for every nomination so we have to make that clear and if we in any way arent clear on that we are looking at if every time making that determination again and again and again, were not going to make that determination today we were requested not to make that determination but in two weeks times of our next meeting my expectation we will make a formal recommendation as to how well rule because this gets in the way of us moving forward okay cant you set aside the nominees were not decided on the nominees were in the position of doing that prefrnl. Just for clarification coming back just to be clear it goes through the Historic Preservation commission they make the recommendations. Thats correct. And criteria 2. 0 on criteria 2. And would that comes back to us. Right just to be clear in terms of you know like you this body makes recommendations to the board of supervisors on prevention and they can and cannot do take that into it had time the same for you in terms of the represents with the Historic Preservation commission provides you, you can and cannot do i mean, youre not required to take the it had time or required to follow the recommendation but provides Additional Information and but on the positive i want to focus on the positive the Historic Preservation commission does have an extensive historical history so there will be businesses that they are able to sort of add to the rich history of the businesses we can then pull upon to help market and promote those businesses through the registry and i think you know, i really want to encourage us to continue to always talk about the registry is the program the preservation funds is a program of the it is an add on to the legacy business Registry Program and may not exist you know no guarantee about the funding we do know how to utilize it you Historic Preservation commission is a small portion of the other programs we need i want to completely stress it the registry and the registry the core component of the program we we want to market and promote the businesses because ideally the majority of businesses on the registry wont need all of the supportive programs they want us to market and promote them. Director really quick i agree with commissioner president dwight so much and ill say mix up the registry if the legislative state is the spirit thats an Awesome Program were not politician were Small Business owners and people manipulated this and put it on the battle so horde hard work to modify and the registry unfortunately, the miscommunication is like were giving away millions and millions of dollars and us on the body are withholding that from the Small Business community i think that i actually like commissioner president dwight their emphasizing i want everybody to be clear that what exactly that were you can check the record i and all of us have unanimously sports the revengey the registry is the cherry on top of the program the thing we support to be focus on and in fact, were not focusing in the public arena on the money it is not about money but a registry of businesses to celebrate of businesses that have been in business for as long as we have thirty or 25 years ive advocated actually go having peers on the registry 15 or 10 years lets celebrate the longevity and bar to get on the registry is very although it is mark farrell inxument on the nominees to provide the supporting dialogue that they contribute in the community and you know frankly im not no interests whatsoever of denying any business theyre feeling they have contributed if theyve been in business x number of years and paid their taxes they have a high proeblthd of making an application end of story the registry is not a controversial issue at this commission the controversy and the criticism has come from the financial side of this evaluation but this is the gateway of the bit were most criticized on we wont be getting crippling if not on the website people want to get on the registry to visitor and residents awesome a celebration a party every year and Small Business week for those on the registry in fact, i have said here that hopefully, we wont be need to restrict it to three hundred nominees and get through the registry process quick and happy to have a set of nominees vetted at every one of the meeting frankly to do so in the application is filled anti properly and historical since the commission has vetted it i mean as far as im concerned, a recommendation from the Historic Preservation commission is a stamp of approval for us basically says they believe this business has a historic position in the communities id be most interested in one they said didnt how will they not qualify and interested in the exemption i see very slim chance that a business recommended by the Historic Preservation commission will not get approved by this commission thats why i think that will happen quickly this part so this part didnt bother me at all what bothers me weve set this specifically around business and taking in nominees look the nonprofits are not applying to the registry lets be clear to be on the registry their politically to the registry to be inevitable for a grant before the rules other than the first piece of legislation not the proposition to the voters this is the first law on the books and this law takes is the gating law to the subsequent law weve never had an issue frankly as a matter of fact weve been supportive so. I apologize. I didnt mean to say the commission was not supportive i was talking to the viewing public and those listening when we can have the discussion around the nonprofits i think because of i do think that is important we get some definitive positions so we can help the supervisors so if theres pressure that definitive those guidelines whatever direction it takes will for us to be able to say to the nominator yes or no because i think from the experience and rick in terms of doing looter Grant Administration and ushering with the offices when it is clear then communicating that to those who are out in their neighborhoods and residences and community theyre able to articulate and less likely to be fluntdz by the pressure. Ill support a registry for a nonprofit in the city a legacy nonprofit and welcome the cohappytion of that on a website weve spent taxpayer money and piggyback on this that will be fantastic and if we would like to get a supervisor to sponsor Land Use Committee for a nonprofit legacy registry wonderful this is the business registry this is the constituency for which we are advocates and so 0 i dont know about nonprofit and a registry of nonprofits but registry of businesses ill welcome legislation that establishes a second registry now ill tell you not welcome the adjudication of that commission ill welcome it done in the Historic Preservation and their work is final totally fine not our constituents and dont it is cool fine registration anything they want and put it on the website this commission spent its precious volunteer time on our constituency this is businesses and specifically Small Businesses and so i would prefer to restrict our staff time which is our staff budget by the way, that comes out of this funds to things that really relate to business and hopefully, the people that watch this or later on our constituents whom we advocate Small Businesses and hope great i like the fact that the commission is advocating for business on this registry because we dont want to mix things up in the registry this is a business registry celebrating businesses people will go and buy from those businesses because they think their valuable assets to the communities whether you want to donate to a nonprofit i dont care where you do not but buy our stiff from an and our goods and services from San Francisco all businesses preferably have not businesses and theyre on the registry great all the more advertising and promotion to them thats where we are why were here thats why were appointed to be here thats why we volunteer time to be here were them and theyre our constituents so im sorry because i dont president in any way for people to say 24 commission didnt support the remedyingy we are going to have some controversy over the nonprofit put both this we are asked to support nonprofits it is about money and politics i have a question about the question is asked i want to kind of getting on the registry is a yearly exercise or. One time exercise. One time exercise. One time exercise we didnt get a chance to glow the applications but in section 3 under the business statement we asked the business to say their current on the finalized obligations with the city and no lsd violation their application is available to the public and so we have one other statement the Small Business commission revoke the placement of a business on the registry in the business no longer qualities and not entitles the business in that you know the placement on the registry didnt entitle them to a grant on the in the city funds so the reason why we have that there a business could be on the registry for 10 or 15 years and sell the business so lets sort of use a recent example in the media was i think was originally joes that was sold or was it tommys joint that was originally sold and so there was a lot of question around retaining the original memo and that is a core component in you know one of the core components of what is the legacy of that business so somebody may take the name but change the core component because they retain the name not the legacy of that business that could be something well bring forward to the commission this business no longer meets the legacy requirements they applied for. Just to clarify just because they change the memo and dont offer pasta theyre a grateful subjectivity to this i think that businesses become legacy businesses because not because they stay in the past but they can move into the a question. A question im asking were on the legacy businesses and a paragraph and referring the right to revoke. Going to have to have standards to revoke the business so the question is not im not asking for the sake of asking to make sure we admit somebody so a one time deal we reserve the right to hold that business on the registry or out of registry ought to have standards not selectively enforce so for the purpose and hidden that commissioners come in that the entry what are those to get out pulled out. Right as okay. Right and i think you know in business we all understand that businesses have to evolve to stay current and meet the customer demands and side that in our traditional Business Model so we will be thats an additional thing were working on and again, a business can move out of the city that removes them from the registry just because our on the registry didnt mean youll be on the registry for forever. Not an entitlement. Not an entitlement situations the commission makes a determination not something that the commission will have to do and we see with zoning thing to be able to take some action if needed. I think i agree totally and you mentioned the black and white so it is substantive to a degree but, yes. I mean lets pick out the obvious ones i think that i mean, i actually think that is more about probably more about do you pay your taxed and a San Francisco business i have great reservations about characterizing someones memo or their overflow room as to whether they continue to be a legacy business and they change hands all the time and the fact theyre in San Francisco well someone took up the business to keep it in business we should come up with the you know what are the clear bright lines whether or not youll continue on the registry and have to be extraordinarily careful how to be removed it is two substantive so if so it is about your location and in good stans with the city. Yeah. And tammy. It is an open are house. Yeah. So i want to brought to your attention as i think weve mentioned this before that weve combined some of the instructions in the completion of the application so section one is just to give the basic details of the business overflow room location, section 3 again you know the businesses have to be current on their financial obligations, their you can employment obligations and that they understand the information is subject to the public section number 4 the written narrative and again you know we do have businesses that have changed hands over time and so one of the things we are discovering and or they change locates what happens is that new Business Owner or the new location maybe less than 20 years so that we cant verify by Business Registration theyve been in business thirty or more years were highlighting more specifically that they need to provide you know documents like you can see purposing the business from the previous owner so if they have their Business Registration the first Business Registration that some of the businesses have and youll see that in the application packets so we junk in receiving some of the first applications realized a few point to make sure that the businesses are addressing ahead of time so you know that they are providing the documentation that the business existed either prior to their current ownership or the Current Location and then, of course, asking them to provide the written history as it is related to the business its relationship to the community how it operationally is retained the original sort of Business Operations and its you know culinary or art as designed in the legislation weve provided suggested in drafting the narratives as it relates to the 3 criteria weve prioritized some suggested items for businesses to been when their drafting that. And then section 5 to highlight some Historical Documents to support their narrative the Historic Preservation commission has asked that we specifically ask for take a look at the exterior and the interior of the business were making sure we ask for that and yeah. So those supplemental documents add to the richness and is texture of the business some of them have you know important people that visited their business youll see a business restaurant that will they have provided copy of the original memo from thirty years ago and it is interesting to see the prices laughter and or you know any articles new articles or theyve advertised in a publication that is thirty years or older to provide that so and some businesses are providing this is the facade thirty years ago and this is the facade now you know and clearly things change because businesses have to stay relevant to be able to stay in business so it is interesting to see some of the supplemental documents. And i think so that i just wanted to make sure that businesses really understand that it is on them to draft that narrative to pull out the supplemental documents we have some businesses that you know may need assistance in drafting that narrative so were working with the Investment Team to with work the economic organizations to help to provide the supports especially for english as a second language so getting assistance in draft the narrative. All right. And then the final thing is the instructions for submitting the applications; right . Correct. A 50 filing. Okay. Fee. And as it is written right now the commission there is three hundred nominations a year and when were in the first first year first fiscal year year july one we will see you know whether we actually do meet the full three hundred you know whether three hundred nominated or if their say is desire to have more so. Was there an estimate of the potential population of legacy businesses. Based on dunn and braid street ill say four or five. But Property Owners. So i want to thank you for the opportunity to really highlight the applications instructions so because theres been again, some misinformation or misunderstanding youve been nominated youre on the registry so that confusion created in some of the dynamics around the meeting resulted in a high number of neementsz without consultation with the business so we have a high number of nominations submit by waiting for the application two action items coming out of that meeting one appointed by commissioner toursarkissian specific criteria around what causes a somewhat on the registry to be kicked off the registry we have clear ones lets write down and the other action item to make a determination regarding nonprofits. That is not to be decided tonight and so any other discussion amongst the commissions otherwise open up for Public Comment commissioners. Anyone else see any other action items other than those two . I have a question only the commission now is it available on the website. Yes. So everything the instructions for the nominators and the process for nominees and the applications are pdf on the bottom of registry page. Have the pdf; right . I have one single request and suggestion the lower divisions so those that cant they be referenced on the site for the assistance they can receive that be available for them so that they can go to it would you tell us coming to you. A suggestion. And just to add to that so our conversation with the mayors and the board of supervisors staff is that also again that theyre having conversation with the business or in the meantime, that is something they can reach out to us ahead of time we talked with the applicant to find the best equity to refer them to. All right. Any other discussion on this item okay opening up for Public Comment anyone else from the public like to comment on this particular item concerning the legacy business rules and regulations. But it goes to show in my opinion how bad it is necessary and i appreciate the question from the president because that was kind of clear of what he said the thing about it is im going to request i think that im number ten is the appropriate time because you know all of that you all talking about i was almost asleep id like to request for. R all those parties the thing as a person as me i have to go home and acknowledge things and breakdown but the bottom line only two or 3 things in the community how much money is available total money available okay. And the other thing i see all the Department Heads involved with the welcome to the peoples palace and the Small Business commission and all those things the breaks down i have to go home and study and come back here and come up and speak 3 minutes im tired of that and being ignored im going to invite and some of the in program come to any community i guess so innovative any community to a savings account to have dialogue and ask questions and have the commissioners there and the oewd the thing about it, it is getting over on the city and the communities to put all the programs and bring all the new people. And you dont know what is happening it is put together by the Mayors Office and the welcome to the peoples palace and the commissioners well, were going not going to do this with the board of supervisors theyre fighting amongst themselves on different issues that Student Government so im saying to you and im saying it very nice thats a good idea but dont cutwater where i come from number one in order for us to benefit from and you you know what im talking about from the mission we need you to come to our community and insist you come to our Community Bring the board i dont think youve been outside of city hall but come out to the of him the first place so you can see we can tell you all all the businesses we have had and all the programs when necessary come out and sold us a bill of goods and you need to reinsure us what youre trying to do we know about it and you all trying to found out thats all im saying thats all im saying.
