Special order, the mayors appearance before the board. Welcome mayor breed. Do you have any remarks . I know there are no questions this month from the supervisors representing districts 9, 10 and 11. Thank you president peskin, and good afternoon members of the board of supervisors. Over the last several months we have been moving forward to talk about the future of downtown, and changing our laws to make it easier to convert and fill empty space. We reformed our tax truckture to recruit new businesses and delivered on our Budget Priorities to keep our city safe and clean. Just yesterday we announced 4000000 in new Small Business grants to help fill empty store fronts. All this work matters, but we also have to think bigger. Downtown, financial district once the thriving part of the city and representing 70 percent of the tax base is changing and we need to adapt. Today i sent several letters out including three to our city administrator, to the San FranciscoUnified School District and to city college. These letters all ask the same fundamental question, how can we as public agencies be strategic with our own use of our real estate, our office space to take advantage of Current Office climate and directly invest in San Franciscos recovery . As the larger employer in the city, we can lead on recovy by investing in high Quality Office space for our workers, we can do this while also leveraging our own buildings and land for other uses. We are in need of more land for housing and the city and these agencies have land all over San Francisco. The School District is already pursuing building on vacant land, we are building hundreds of new homes on the old sfpuc land at balboa reservoir, at 49 south van ness partnered with related to build a new City Office Building and permit center while also creating hundreds of new units of rental housing. The office of Economic Workforce Development willby the resource available to help us think through what is possible, and the other letter i sent was along with our City Attorney david chui to the uc board of regents asking them to consider the possibility of bringing the uc system to downtown San Francisco. Whether thats ucsf, uc berkeley or other idea, we have space at the center of the city and the region that could attract students from all over the world. Again, it is about whats possible. We arent saying all of this is absolutely going to happen, but all of it can happen and thats what we need to start thinking about. Lets be the city that imagines whats possible. The city that finds the way to make possibility a realty. Lets not throw up road blocks, lets remove barriers not just in the policy but the vision for the fuper of the city. When i mention the possibility of bringing a soccer stadium downtown, that wasnt just me throwing out a idea . Why cant we do it . It is easy to Say Something is hard, easy to Say Something is complicated, but if we continue to put up road blocks and say that then it wont be possible. San francisco talks about being a place of doers, a place of dreamer s, we are the place where the television was discovered. We are a place where the inventor of the chia pet and clapper and when we talk about what happens in San Francisco and many of the tech industries, the bio tech and other folks, they say, San Francisco is where we want to be because this city has the talent, it has the creativity, it has the invasion. Regardless of the narrative people are try to put out about San Francisco, people still want to be here, because this is where the world is changing. This is where the creativity and tomorrows invasion and technology will happen because it happens in San Francisco first. I want us to start thinking about what is possible. Think bigger and with bolder and better for the future of our city. We cant be content always limiting and saying no and what cant be done. How do we get to yes . How do we make San Francisco better for the future for all of us . Thank you. Thank you mayor breed. That concludes our 2 p. M. Special order and thank you for joining today and we look forward seeing you nextactually in september. Do you really look forward to seeing me . I do thank you mayor breed. Madam clerk, can we please go to the approval of our Meeting Minutes . Yes, approval of the june 13, 2023 board Meeting Minutes and the special Meeting Minutes at the budget and Appropriations Committee where upon a quorum of the board appeared on june 14, june 15 and june 16, 2023. Is there a motion to approve the minutes made by supervisor mandelman, seconded by supervisor preston. On that motion a roll call, please. On the minutes [roll call] there are 11 ayes. Those minutes will be approved as presented after Public Comment. Madam clerk, could you please read the first item . Item 1 is ordinance to amend the public works code and administrative code to eliminate permit fees for a curbside shared spaces permit approved before june 30, 2024 and increase the gross receipts threshold from 2 million to 2. 5 million for permit and license fees and affirm the ceqa determination. Supervisor safai. Thank you president peskin. Colleagues, we discussed many times beforei spoke too quickly sir, i apologize. [laughter] curbside parklets are crucial to Small Business recovery in our city. Not only do they provide Small Business owners more space, but they provide Service Industry workers extra opportunities to find work in our city. My goal with this legislation is that we stay true to the original intent of the shared space program,x which is to help Small Businesses and not take away from them. I believe eliminating the permit fees in this first year will allow the over thousand applicants, a thousand Small Businesses new and existing established parklets to expand their current footprint and sustain themselves in this really difficult economy. Earlier this year we heard from Small Businesses that would cost them many times over 10 thousand up to 20 thousand to keep their current space, not including the additional adjustments they had to make to conform them to code, which in the end serve our purpose more but rather keeping the money in their hands to reinvest in their businesses by hiring staff and sustain themselves. Additionally, inflation continues to effect Small Businesses, which is why the ordinance adjust the gross receipt threshold for the annual 50 percent license fee waver for businesses that do not exceed 2. 5 million in gross receipts. Again, this is truly a Small Business stimulus program. While this legislation started as a permit elimination of the fees ongoing, we were able to come to consensus at the budget and Appropriations Committee working with my colleagues and others and this fee waver will act as a shortterm stimulus as i said for Small Businesses for the next fiscal year. I believe this is a good compromise for us to continue to support the recovery of our Small Businesses and our local economy. Many of whom are the largest employers in the city. Small businesses together make up a Significant Network of Employment Opportunities across San Francisco. I ask for your support today. Thank you colleagues. Thank you supervisor safai. Seeing no other names on the roster, we will take this same house same call. The ordinance is finally passed. Madam clerk, could you please read items 236 together .
