Training programming. They walk the library floors and share their story about how they recovered from homelessness and other issues and how they have utilized the services in San Francisco.

Theyre actually theyve hired a consultant to do some analysis on ways to improve the 14b local purchasing ordinance. So, the mayor is actively engaged in looking at what can be done to improve and increase our local businesses getting contracts. And then the other two item that were discussed were the minimum wage, as that item was introduced the previous week, and then, of course, the Health Care Security ordinance. And while this will still be for some businesses a bit of a challenge to be able to meet these mandates, there was definitely appreciation for the mayor for stepping in and, you know, bringing forth measures that were the best at this particular point in time that could be done, and that, that were not taking a look at, especially for
