The department did previously with the review back in 1112, the way the department previously did their annual reports where they were much more extensive, but they also took approximately 1824 months to complete. If you look back in history at the departments annual report, technically included data for 1112. It was much longer. So we are looking out for version we are doing now is to find more of a sweet spot in between that has a series of grass and basic data and information and additional narrative and something that is complete within six months of the fiscal year. But doesnt take a major thesis to do. What is the diffidence between what is the difference between a corner and a medical examiner . I am probably not the best one to answer that question. A coroner is under a sheriff, and other jurisdictions in the country. It could be anybody who runs for office and has absolutely no training. The medical Examiner System is set up to bring a level of professionalism to Death Investigations and how Death Investigation should be properly handled. Our office and many other major jurisdictions in california are set up in the medical Examiner System. Thank you. Supervisor brown . Thank you. I wanted to talk up a little bit about the timing of these reports, because, i know i have talked to mayor mccallie, administrator. This is really tough for families when they are waiting for this report. I went through an experience with the jessica alba family. They were waiting for the death certificate to be um released because they felt it was a homicide and not suicide. Um and, you know, the entire native American Community came out and said this was a coverup. I just filled that, and we have talked about this that the communications has to be a lot better with families um because as we know families are in um there worst times of their lives when they are dealing with this, the death of a loved one. We need to be able to communicate with them what is happening, what the process is, why it is taking as long as it does. Um because, what i have found, the board of supervisors to get that information. We are the in between um. So, i really appreciate that youre looking at this, and even having really skilled, qualified people to help with the families. I think that is so important because um, you know, it is a real issue when we are dealing with those families that are waiting for them. Supervisor, i could not agree you more. Being able to communicate with families at the time of a tragic loss is very key. This is information we are using to help with our recruitment efforts and some of the vacant positions we have. With the jessica alba situation, you know, after talking to you i went back and looked at the timing, and the report came out 52 days after the ten day determination out and then the final report came 52 days later. Had there been better trust and Better Communications the family would not feel this way right now. Especially with a community that does not have trust of this government. Exactly. When you say pending, does that mean there is a draft report that is available for people to review and then later on a final that may or may not be the same . Yes. What doctor hunter did, instead of waiting for everyone, and i think this was right for determination to happen once you have the final report which could be 52 days, 90 days, that is a long time not to know. He waited call quickly and just say pending, pending toxicology reports. Those were available . The toxicology reports were not done yet when we did the pending. Right, but the pending determination was available to the families . Yes. That is why if we build trust a Better Communications we would be in a much better situation. Thank you so much. Thank you supervisor peskin for calling for this hearing. Thank you. Um are there any members of the public that was to comment on this item . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. Can we file this hearing without objection . Great. Mr. Clerk is there any further business . There is no further business. We are adjourned. Thank you. Womens network for sustainable future.

Org shop and dine on the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of San Francisco by supporting local Services Within neighborhood. We help San Francisco remain unique, successful and vibrant. Where will you shop and dine in the 49 . San francisco owes the charm to the unique character of the neighborhood comer hall district. Each corridor has its own personality. Our neighborhoods are the engine of the city. You are putting money and support back to the community you live in and you are helping Small Businesses grow. It is more environmentally friendly. Shopping local is very important. I have had relationships with my local growers for 30 years. By shopping here and supporting us locally, you are also supporting the growers of the flowers, they are fresh and they have a price point that is not imported. It is really good for everybody. Shopping locally is crucial. Without that support, Small Business cant survive, and if we lose Small Business, that diversity goes away, and, you know, it would be a shame to see that become a thing of the past. It is important to dine and shop locally. It allows us to maintain traditions. It makes the neighborhood. I think San Francisco should shop local as much as they can. The retail marketplace is changes. We are trying to have people on the floor who can talk to you and help you with products you are interested in buying, and help you with exploration to try things you have never had before. The fish business, you think it is a piece of fish and fisherman. There are a lot of people working in the fish business, between wholesalers and fishermen and bait and tackle. At the retail end, we about a lot of people and it is good for everybody. Shopping and dining locally is so important to the community because it brings a tighter fabric to the community and allows the Business Owners to thrive in the community. We see more Small Businesses going away. We need to shop locally to keep the Small Business alive in San Francisco. Shop and dine in the 49 is a cool initiative. You can see the banners in the streets around town. It is great. Anything that can showcase and legitimize Small Businesses is a wonderful thing. Mayor breed i just figured everybody would be at work and it would be a couple of us today. But i see the cole valley Community Came out. Thank you so much for being here today at wooden, one of the newest establishments right here in the cole valley community. This is an amazing neighborhood. So many great places like reverie and the ice cream bar and zazie. This is an incredible place to enjoy the day. Theres wine that you can buy. There is a postal service. There is hardware. Anything that you want is located in this community. Its one of the bestkept secrets in San Francisco. I know that because i come out here and hide a lot. [ laughter ]. Mayor breed but of course the community, they recognize me because i served as a supervisor and one of the things that we know happens sometimes with our Small Businesses, they get caught up in the bureaucracy, when all they want to do is provide a service to the community. This is a neighborhood where people know one another, where they walk down the street and see one another, where they hang out in places like this to enjoy each others company. Where we have watched kids grow up in this neighborhood. The fact that Small Businesses which oftentimes are run by the owners of the Small Businesses, the fact that they have to deal with so much bureaucracy makes me crazy. One of the things i have said we need to do time and time again is can you tell the bureaucratic red tape that gets in the way of allowing our Small Businesses to just exist and be enjoyable for communities like cole valley. [ applause ]. Mayor breed so id like to use this as an example, and let me pause for a minute and recognize captain bailey and the folks from park Police Station and the people who keep our community safe. We really appreciate you. [ applause ]. Mayor breed but when i was supervisor, val, you remember this, free gold watch. You all know that, the pinball machines in that place. So free gold watch, an incredible place. There were pinball machine tournaments, there were activities, a place where the Community Came together. Well, unfortunately it discovered after they opened that they were basically not in compliance with the law. Years ago in the 1980s when we thought that video games were going to destroy young people, destroy civilization as we know it, all these laws were created that limited the ability to have these arcade locations within the certain area of the school or a park or gas station and all this craziness. I just couldnt believe it that we could potentially lose this amazing institution because of some dated laws. Of course, its not just about creating new laws, but about fixing the old laws that put us in this situation in the first place. We got rid of that. Free gold watch and all these other amazing places are open to bring back our childhood for most of us who lived through that time. This is no exception, where i think you just if you just wanted to basically have music and sell a little bit of wine and beer for a comedy night. What he had to go through has been crazy because of some laws that were passed that impact neighboring communities which is sometimes unfair. What we are doing today is making it easier for Small Businesses to provide what i think is a basic community service. Of course, when youre watching comedy, you have to have wine or beer or some kind of beverage in your hand to just enjoy it. Because most of the comics sometimes arent even funny. [ laughter ]. Mayor breed so here we are. Trying to make it easier for our Small Business community and sign this legislation. My commitment to addressing what we know is a real challenge around how Small Businesses are able to survive and thrive in this city is important to me. Dealing with our empty store fronts, coming up with new solutions, both with changes to our policies but also with financial investments. Even if we cant get rid of certain fees, i do think its important that we continue through the Mayors Office of economic and Workforce Development under the leadership of qua joaquim torez to make sure we are working with Small Businesses to do facade improvements and many others. This is how were going to get there and the board of supervisors who has been incredibly focused. Even before she was on the board of supervisors where she served as a legislative aid for two previous supervisors, i was one of those supervisors, there was no one more committed to supporting Small Businesses and being responsive to the community than your supervisor, district 5 supervisor, val brown. [ applause ]. I just want to thank a few people. I have them written down. I want to first thank the mayor. I want to thank the team at o. E. W. D. , ben, when we were doing this legislation, it was grinding. Just because it was pushed out, came back. Ben would come back and think he had a way to do that. I want to thank my aide in the corner hiding like normal. [ applause ]. He kept saying, we can do it, we can do it. I want to thank the chamber of commerce. They were there all along coming to meetings and speaking in favor. The council of district merchants. And really especially the cole valley community. When this came to me i have to say, though, this is kind of a bit of a strange groundhog day for me. When we talked about this, actually planning came to us ten years ago and asked us to clean up a lot of the regulations around these kind of restrictions for businesses, because they said they were archaic, hurting Small Business. You have to remember ten years ago we were in a downturn, the economic downturn. We just didnt have time or the bandwidth to deal with it. When this came back to me ten years in the making, that happened with clean power. I started clean power and finished it in supervisor breeds office. This was ten years in the making again. But this time i said, hey, you know what . This is a heavy lift, but we need to do this for Small Businesses. We need to do this for the person that comes every morning, opens up their door, is here serving coffee, is here cutting your hair, giving you some of the best cheese youve ever had at say cheese. We need to do this for Small Business. Theyre struggling. We, as a city, should be doing everything we can to keep Small Businesses in place and to open Small Businesses. We need to be able to take the regulations away that hurt them, to take the time it takes to open a Small Business. I dont know how you can afford to pay for a space for a year to 18 months before you even have a business. How is that possible . You have to probably save for two years just to open a Small Business. So we have to say no. We have to make sure that we protect Small Businesses. Because, look, i lived in lower haye for 20 years and then i moved into this community. I feel its a mayberry. I walk down the street and know everybody. I can go from one store to another and get what i need for my Everyday Needs and meet the people that i absolutely adore on these streets. So we have to keep these neighborhood corridors vibrant. If we dont have vibrant neighborhood corridors, what does that do . That affects the whole entire community. When the neighbors came to me, cole valley, and said, look, we really support this business. They want a simple beer and wine license so he can have comedy night. How many times does a neighborhood come to you and say we want this business of a beer and wine . Usually its the owner, right . I said, wow, steve, you must have done something right in this neighborhood because they absolutely loved steve and said, steve, we want you to be here and successful. The least i could do was take this legislation and push it through. Now, it took me three times before it went through l. A. N. Use and i had third time is a charm and we got it through. We did it and we all worked together, and it was unanimous at the board. I want to thank everyone who was involved. There was so many people who came out for public comment. People behind the scenes saying this is what we need. Steve, you came to those public comments. Your staff watched the store while you came. Your cafe. You waited and spoke three times. Im sorry. We shouldnt be doing that to Small Businesses. So really appreciate your time becau because, steve, you helped the wh
