SFGTV Mayors Press Availability February 1, 2016

About what weve learned and i think again getting to what we can do to take advantage of other events as they come because i think between sf beer week and superbowl 50, it has never been on my radar screen the way you can hook into these things the way some of the neighborhoods are today and i think thats great. I think this would be a good place for us to review those, as well as hear any grievances that people have after the fact. A lot of speculative grievances right now, but lets wait and see what happens come monday, Tuesday Morning when everyone has sort of recovered from it all and come to grips with whatever inconvenience they had to deal with but really then assess what the effect was. All right . So that will be, again, as i say, not a specific date but lets memorialize it as a new business item for the future. Any other new business . And like wietz i think we should make sure that we reserve time for commissioner zouzounis to report on their findings as she is researching formula retail and the tobacco legislation and her needs. All right. Seven11s that are popping up. Move on to item 15 which is adjournment and commissioner white are you wanting to do the Closing Announcement . To bookend our meeting i want to remind people that the San Francisco office of Small Business is the only, i repeat the only place to start your new business in San Francisco and you can either go there in person, we have a very friendly staff at the desk at city hall to meet with you in person or, even better yet, in your pajamas you can visit us on the internet, we have a great web site and lots of information there. But do not go any place else before you look there because thats the place to start. Our advice is free, its thorough and its the most informed advice you can get about starting a new business in San Francisco. Got one quick other thing too. I want to mention that jane gong, who used to work in our office, is also a recipient of the Good Government awards which will be held in march so congratulations, i want to make it official, congratulations to jane gong on her being honored with a Good Government award for her work with the business portal. Shes done a great job on that. Also just to remind people that we are open for new business here and the way to get new business on our agenda, the best way is to come here for Public Comment at the beginning of each meeting we ask the public if they have any comments on things that are not presenting on our agenda, its a great way to recommend new items that we might either do some research on and or discuss at our meetings. With that i will use my gavel to adjourn the meeting. Do we have a motion to adjourn and a second . I mufd. Second. We are adjourned. The time is 4. 16. meeting adjourned . Hello.
