They may not be associated with the local Health Department which, you know, we give this course currently. You can also asked for identification. Was just curious, was there something new thing we need to be aware of. As our constant updates when theres changes to what is required in the inspections and that sort of thing . I mean, the state does implement new changes. If it is something big, whether the city will often with micro kitchen is gnosis. That is something that is being discussed at a public forum. That gets a broadcast that way. In terms of, you know, there arent changes to the food safety signs. You would be notified if something major was coming up. Thank you. I want to echo commissioner zouzounis, and thank you for working together to come up with such an elegant solution. This really seems like winner winner chicken dinner, in terms of being easy to both the public and the Business Owners. I will echo her comments as well. Anyway we can help you, we are certainly happy to do whatever we can on our end. It seems like a really welldesigned system. We will make it easier for operators to both comply and particularly appreciated your comment about how they are the ones that we are relying on and getting their is so critical to the success of the program. Excellent job to all of you, and thank you for your hard work on making this happen. I also think this is a really good design here. How big are the designs . 8. 5 by 11. Since we are just mimicking the success of other counties, im sure all of us just like the sheet. They required to be posted in front of the store . We currently are playing with the idea of posting it, but not necessarily in the front door, per se. We listen to the community, that is we are comfortable with that as long as the public has access to that. Is evergreen when im sure they will put it on the front. Im sure, yes. I just want to say that was a great presentation. Im happy we are being compliant, not only with the rest of the bay area, but i think the rest of the state. Good job with this. Any other commission or before we open it up for Public Comment okay, lets open it up. Are there any members of the public who would like to make comment on item number four. Hello commissioners, im representing the golden gate restaurant association. Thank you for hearing this ordinance and thank you and peskins office for including us in the conversations i really coming to us to start with this whole conversation, we really appreciate that. As mentioned we are supportive of this change. We do hope this brings more clarity for the business and the gas that come into our restaurants every day. We were assured of the scoring process itself wouldnt change, justice most of california has artie moved to this. We have people dining in San Francisco in oakland and concord. This makes much more sense to our guests. We are excited to partner and make sure we are continuously improving. As much as we are for streamlining anything and making things easier. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Im back. I am from scomas, also we are members of the golden gate restaurant association. I want to thank the department of Public Health and supervisor peskin for addressing many of the common issues that the restaurant community, and anyone in food service or food preparation would have. I think most of us we want to do the right thing, we want and ability to cure if something is not correct, i remember when we first went through this, it was a little bit different than what la was doing. What san diego did. I think this move towards at least the bay area counties having the same scoring, or at least the same outward plaque or without the consumer can have confidence in knowing is a great step. I like the way they have presented it. I think its really clear. That is something we should get, really lay set out in a really proactive, colorful and way which is helpful in the many things that we do and we all want to serve safe food and a healthy environment. I think this is a really great step. I think everyone for their efforts. Any other members of the public . Public comment is closed. Any other questions or do we have a motion . I move area. I second. To approve board of supervisors file 190710 health code. [roll call] motion passes 60. Thank you very much. Good presentation. Next item, please. Item five, presentation of fiscal year 19 20 accessibility grants for Accessible Business Entrance Program and legacy Business Program. The presenter is rhea aguinaldo. Good afternoon, commissioners. Rhea aguinaldo, project and a giant case manager for the office of Small Business. Sf gov tv have a powerpoint presentation. You also have a copy of the presentation in front of you. I am here to present the budget for the office of Small Businesses accessibility grants for this year, fiscal year 20192020. We will talk about the budget and the spending plan for the Disability Access fund and also give updates on our ada support services at our office. The Disability Access fund was established by senate bill sb1186 which established a dollar fee that was added to local Business Registrations. The dollar fee increased, or was established in 2013 and the dollar fee was increased and the amount retained by the city was also increased through a b1379 which was effective 2018. To date, the dollar fee increased up to a 4dollar fee, there is a 4dollar state fee that was added to local Business Registration and the amount retained by the city is now 90 of that fee. At the city level with 10 transmitted back to the state area the money in the funds are intended to increase increase certified access Specialist Training and certification within the local jurisdictions and also to facilitate compliance with construction related accessibility. A certified access specialist which you will hear often and talking about Disability Access and 88 compliance as an individual who is tested and certified by the state for expertise in the application of state and federal Disability Access laws. The office of Small Business manages the disability act fun for the city. The fee is collected by the treasurer and tax collected office by the Business Administration and it is transmitted once annually in mid july by the Controllers Office to the office of Small Business. It is important to note that the funds do not expire, and they Carry Forward from yeartoyear. Fiscal year 1920 we plan to use the funds for certification and training of city staff that are either currently up certified, and or are are interested in becoming up certified through training that is offered by the state as well as through industry organizations. Also planning on using it for the Accessible Business Entrance Program grant. Other Disability Access resources, ada Business Assistance and also to help cover the administrative costs of program management. Here is a snapshot of our budget breakdown and our spending plan for fiscal year 19 20 for the Disability Access fund. For revenue, it shows the breakdown of the Previous Year revenue collected, for fiscal year 18 19, and the revenue collected this year for 19 20 which was just allocated within the last week. As you can see we are keeping the revenue collected from 18 19 on our total revenue because to date we did not utilize the funds from last year. What we did last year, we were utilizing previous carryforward funds. And then also on additional line item on the revenue is a block grant with is a partnership that we are utilizing through the office of economic and Workforce Development through their federal Community Development block grant to help to administer our Grant Program. I will focus this presentation on specifically the ada Grant Program, the business entrance program. I wont go too much into the other items on this budget, but i am happy to questions if there are any. Keep going. All right. Focusing now on the accessible entrance Business Program grant for Small Businesses. The Grant Program is intended for Small Business tenants whose landlords pass the responsibility for compliance onto their tenants. It is also for Property Owners facing exceptional financial hardships. I did in my previous presentation, back in february, give an overview of our Grant Program and also various cases that we are seeing with the pastor of compliance from the Property Owner to the tenant. I will focus this specifically on the funding for the grant. A couple of updates or reminders on how the grant is structured. This is being offered as a last resort option to Small Businesses since the funds are limited. Financial verification is required for grant applicants. We do use the income levels based on the u. S. Housing and urban development guidelines. We are rolling out the Grant Program in alignment with the compliance schedule of the ordinance. Currently we are prioritizing category 2 buildings to start which are buildings that have minor barriers to the entryway, but no steps to the entrance. The most common remediation or proposed remediation we are seeing is the installation of the power door operator. That runs roughly at 8,000 per power door operator. We have allocated businesses to serve this year 16 businesses by calculating the cost of the door operators. There is also a category and four grants for barrier removal. We are, at this. , prioritizing category 2 first. We anticipate category 34 which are those businesses which have steps to the entry way, we have much more intricate involved, complicated remediations. Categories 34 we plan on putting out, or releasing request a proposal to work with a contractor to help us administer that more complex portion of the program. We will monitor the need for these grants on an ongoing basis and adjust our budgets and services accordingly, through the Disability Access fund we do have the ability to supplement what we have currently allocated in terms of funds for the Grant Program. If need be, if we do see when category four hits which is december 1, 2019, a big jump in businesses that are needing assistance or needing to ramp up support services for any of any of the grant categories, we have flexibility and the ability to be able to do that. Okay. Another update. This is a snapshot of our legacy business accessibility grant. This snapshot here is the budget from the preservation fund, these are not funds from the Disability Access fund. 150,000 for revenue 19 20 is for the legacy Business Program. We are, at our office, working to provide a more holistic support to the legacy businesses in terms of complying with accessibility. I am case managing legacy businesses that are having to navigate with Accessible Business Entrance Program or they are looking to do broader remediation in terms of wringing their business into compliance. These two Grant Programs are being monitored and are meant to support the legacy business holistically, i guess. The first round of grant for this program was opened up in march. What we decided to do was first start asking legacy business is if they have had a cast inspection. What that entails is a casp inspection report, an inspector comes into your business and does 100point inspection of the entryway, the interior, counter heights, restrooms, you name it, every technical aspect of it and produces a report that shows the items that are out of compliance and what remediation would need to be done in order to bring the business into compliance. A ballpark of the cost of the casp inspection report is 1500 2,000. Through this first round of applications we had ten legacy businesses that applied for this Grant Program and they were all approved to go forward and work with the casp inspector and get the inspection done, we have asked of them to complete their casp inspections by july 31, 2019. That is the first round of funding we have issued for this legacy accessibility grant. Looking at the budget breakdown here, that leaves us about hundred 15,000 to spend for a second round of grant. What we are thinking since not as many legacy businesses have the uptake was not as big as as good as we thought. We are now looking at spending this one and 50,000 115,000 for tenant improvements, followup casp services if a business is concerned about a particular aspect of their business that we need a casp inspection. Also improvements that would bring the legacy business in compliance with the abe. We do have a significant amount of funds, 115,000 that we are now in the early stages of planning on how we will administer those funds. Lastly, we do have an update on our ada business support services. The office of Small Business has been very active in providing education to Small Businesses about why it is important to get a casp inspection, how to bring your business closer to compliance and providing resources and materials to support that compliance. As part of this work we are partnering with the Northern CaliforniaSmall BusinessDevelopment Center through a new collaborative that they have taken the lead on in Northern California. They are working with the California Commission on Disability Access in the entire californian region, to put together citywide partnerships to support businesses within those regions. Thinking of the benefit of having a Business Development organization, working directly with businesses. So we feel can be better supported when it comes to Disability Access compliance. For example, with compliance to the ada, there are legal legal, financial, and Tax Support Services that are muchneeded area for example if you are a business tenant and your landlord passes compliance, responsibility to comply up to abe, one of the first steps that we take is to advise a business to consult with a lawyer to review their lease, to see what might either provide the their businesses with ability to push back on that, and a making sure the business is aware of what may or may not be in the lease. That is just one example of what we think this partnership will help with. The s bdc is going to put together a panel of private sector for folks that would be able to support our Small Businesses in San Francisco, and it will be more of approaching a longerterm relationship when it comes to Disability Access and ada compliance. Adding in that much needed business support that not often times businesses think about when they are starting their business, when they are doing really well. Rarely do businesses think of making improvements to their space, as part of the Business Planning process. That is part of the partnership, we will definitely keep you updated is not program is implement it. Great, thank you. Great presentation. I just want to say, your office and what you have done, getting the word out with casp inspections is working. I think this is the most i have ever seen going to a restaurant or a Small Business where weve had our casp inspection, they have them posted up there. That really helps in fighting a lot of these driveby lawsuits, too. I know this is how a lot of this started. I have been watching this for the last ten years, i know commissioner riley and duly have been dooley have been doing this too. Your outreach is great. Youre doing a very good job with that. With that, commissioner laguana. Thank you for double duty on the photography today. Super appreciated. I echo our president s comments on really good work, lots of forward progress being made care. Super appreciated. Ive been on both sides of this as a placard holder and a business that has been a target of a driveby litigation. I am sensitive to both sides of this. I had several questions, pardon me, i guess the first is you know, as you mentioned, there is a carryforward foz on the budget from prior years, relative to spending. Revenue total was 650, the expenses were 400, there was a net revenue of 269. Is there a provision in the Disability Access fund that requires you to spend the money . It is carried forward from year to year. The funding currently through sb1379 is focused specifically on the collection of the funds and how it is retained. Correct me if i am wrong, i do not believe it expires. It is something that we no
