The second would be with regard to the cease and desist order to the massage therapists, im just wondering if there is administrative relief that we can do, even though there is an ordinance that is in the hands of the board of supervisors. The department here has a role in providing some directionality , particularly given the testimony here, and i guess they report back to us in terms of what can be provided. Thank you. Thank you, commissioners. Item nine is reported back from the august 27th, 2019 meeting. Im bringing you my last announcement that you can read off of. Thank you.

We didnt did discuss the regulatory c. E. O. Report and the Human Resources report and we also heard an update on the expensive and very successful go live implementation. The enthusiasm that people had around it, i may note it is one of the first times i have seen an d. H. R. Rollout in a hospital where people werent enthused. During the medical staff report, the Committee Approved the following, a new Psychiatric Department chief, and standard procedures for genetic counsellors. R. N.

Alice chen, who knows the chief medical officer of the department.

I just want to acknowledge dr. Chens leadership and her many contributions to the health department. She has mentored many people in the department, and we will miss her very much, would just to really congratulate her.

Working with kids, they keep you young. They keep you on your tones on your toes. Teaching them, at the same time, us learning from them, everything is fulfilling. Ready . Go. [ ] we really wanted to find a way to support Women Entrepreneurs in particular in San Francisco. It was very important for the mayor, as well as the Safety Support the dreams that people want to realize, and provide them with an opportunity to receive funding to support improvements for their business so they could grow and thrive in their neighborhoods and in their industry. Three, two, one because i am one of the consultants for two nonprofits here for entrepreneurship, i knew about the grand through the renaissance entrepreneur center, and through the Small Business development center. I thought they were going to be perfect candidate because of their strong values in the community. They really give back to the neighborhood. They are from this neighborhood, and they care about the kids in the community here. When molly molly first told us about the grant because she works with Small Businesses. She has been a tremendous help for us here. She brought us to the attention of the grand just because a lot of things here were outdated, and need to be uptodate and redone totally. Hands in front. Recite the creed. My oldest is jt, he is seven, and my youngest is ryan, he is almost six. It instills discipline and the boys, but they show a lot of care. We think it is great. The moves are fantastic. The women both are great teachers. What is the next one . My son goes to fd k. He has been attending for about two years now. They also have a summer program, and last summer was our first year participating in it. They took the kids everywhere around San Francisco. This year, owner talking about placing them in summer camps, all he wanted to do was spend the entire summer with them. He has strong women in his life, so he really appreciates it. I think that carries through and i appreciate the fact that there are more strong women in the world like that. I met dandrea 25 years ago, and we met through our interest in karate. Our professor started on cortland years ago, so we grew up here at this location, we out he outgrew the space and he moved ten years later. He decided to reopen this location after he moved. Initially, i came back to say, hey, because it might have been 15 years since i even put on a uniform. My Business Partner was here basically by herself, and the person she was supposed to run the studio with said great, you are here, i started new Nursing School so you can take over. And she said wait, that is not what i am here for i was by myself before for a month before she came through. She was technically here as a secretary, but we insisted, just put on the uniform, and help her teach. I was struggling a little bit. And she has been here. One thing led to another and now we are coowners. You think a lot more about safety after having children and i wanted to not live in fear so much, and so i just took advantage of the opportunity, and i found it very powerful to hit something, to get some relief, but also having the knowledge one you might be in a situation of how to take care of yourself. The selfdefence class is a new thing that we are doing. We started with a group of women last year as a trial run to see how it felt. Theres a difference between selfdefence and doing a karate class. We didnt want them to do an actual karate class. We wanted to learn the fundamentals of how to defend yourself versus, you know, going through all the forms and techniques that we teaching a karate class and how to break that down. Then i was approached by my old high school. One once a semester, the kids get to pick an extra curricular activity to take outside of the school walls. My old biology teacher is now the principle. She approached us into doing a selfdefence class. The girls have been really proactive and really sweet. They step out of of the comfort zone, but they have been willing to step out and that hasnt been any pushback. It is really great. It is respect. You have to learn it. When we first came in, they knew us as those girls. They didnt know who we were. Finally, we came enough for them to realize, okay, they are in the business now. It took a while for us to gain that respect from our peers, our male peers. Since receiving the grant, it has ignited us even more, and put a fire underneath our butts even more. We were doing our summer camp and we are in a movie theatre, and we just finished watching a film and she stepped out to receive a phone call. She came in and she screamed, hey, we got the grant. And i said what . Martial arts is a passion for us. It is passion driven. There are days where we are dead tired and the kids come and they have the biggest smiles on their faces and it is contagious. We have been operating this program for a little over a year all Women Entrepreneurs. It is an extraordinary benefit for us. We have had the Mayors Office investing in our program so we can continue doing this work. It has been so impactful across a diversity of communities throughout the city. We hope that we are making some type of impact in these kids lives outside of just learning karate. Having selfconfidence, having discipline, learning to know when its okay to stand up for yourself versus you just being a bully in school. These are the values we want the kids to take away from this. Not just, i learned how to kick and i learned how to punch. We want the kids to have more values when they walk outside of these doors.

Colleagues, welcome back, i actually have some pretty big news on this announcement today. When we started this conversation, we started the conversation about a band for these types of cafeterias. We felt that the condition and the treatment of the labor force , not having one, actually only one having representation, organized labor out of 45 of these, in the entire city. Thousands of employees that were working for companies that on an annual basis and make millions, if not billions of dollars per year in revenue. We felt that it was not appropriate. We felt that that conversation needed to be had come at the same time we were concerned about the impact of surrounding neighborhoods and surrounding Small Businesses, and what that meant to the surrounding environment. In terms of how we want to shape and go forward as a city. We then amended that, within the last year. I want to think a lot of the companies thats sat at the table with us, facebook, uber, dropbox, twitter, airbnb, lyft, many of the companies that you see, that actually have these types of employee cafeterias. We talked about going through an open and fair process, the conditional use process. Always keeping an eye on the condition of the labor force, and the treatment of the workers , in environment. We have been notified by the hotel and restaurant workers union, that these companies and their employers, and employee cafeteria world, have come to the table and offer card check mentality across the board and the entire industry. Thousands of employees now will finally have the opportunity to organize, have benefits, and be treated like fullscale employees, and have the dignity and respect that they deserve. Today i stand here, i want to thank my colleague, supervisor has scanned with his unwavering support with my lead cosponsor on this legislation. These agreements, all of them, have not been executed. In light of that, and all of the other cosponsors that signed on, my colleagues and those that push the City Attorneys office, and my staff that carried a lot of weight on this over the last 1. 5 years. I want to thank all of those companies. I want to thank local 2 for their hard work in this. In light of the negotiations being very close, and all of those employees having the opportunity to have card check mentality and representation. I want to make a motion to send this back and let those final negotiations play themselves out. We are very excited to see that there has been a slow commitment on behalf of the companies, and the employers that represent these companies, to have fair representation for this workforce. Thank you for everyone who has participated in this process and supported me, and the workers along the way. There is a motion on the floor, and seconded to send this back to committee. Without any objection, this motion passes. Item five, 190594. Ordinance amending the planning code to revise the zoning control tables of the chinatown mixed use districts to make them consistent with those in articles 2 and 7, to apply the use definitions in section 102, to set an abandonment period for use size maximums, and to allow general entertainment and nighttime entertainment uses with conditional use authorization; affirming the planning departments determination under the California Environmental quality act; making findings of consistency with the general plan, and the eight priority policies of planning code, section 101. 1; and adopting findings of public necessity, convenience, and welfare under planning code, section 302. Supervisor peskin. Colleagues, i have passed out to each and every one of you, a minor nonsubstantive amendment that appears in three places on pages 20, 31 and 43. Which would delete the philanthropic Administrative Service use classification from all of the three chinatown mixed used districts. Which will not have any impact on these districts, its actually to conform this with legislation that was passed before the summer recess and file 190248, which deleted that use classification, so that this legislation will conform to the previously passed legislation and finally i would like to think roy chan and the Chinatown Community developing cen
