Helps create a greater market demand. In all likelihood, that would be something that would be coming forward, if the exemption stays in place, at the state level, probably coming forward at a local level to require all businesses. Do we have any kind of idea on the date for ab161 . It is still in the senate. We do not have a date, at this point. Then, lastly, i just want to say that the last Strategic Plan that the department has is from 201314. I have discussed this with the president , and the Vice President , that it needs be updated. I think this is something we could work on during the Commission Meeting without having to have a separate meeting. We will be working with president adams and Vice President dwight to bring that to you. Great, thank you. Quick question, going back to the earlier thing. You mentioned onestop shopping for the new portal. This goes into an idea, i was just wondering, what does that mean like you can apply for all of the permit, just through the portal, or . We were working to work with the departments to get there, but now with the 49 south van ness which is at the corner of van ness omission being created, a permit center that will have all of the agencies there, instead of working through our portal, the focus has now been working on doing technology and communications between the department where they can streamline in terms of applications. There focus now on delivering that. That is great. Any other questions for the director . To be have any Public Comment on item number six . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. Any other questions for the director . Item six is closed. Item seven, please. Item 7, commissioners reports. Allows president , Vice President , and commissioners to report on recent Small Business activities and make announcements that are of interest to the Small Business community. Discussion item. I just want to let everyone know that our meeting i want to make sure i get this right, monday the 26th, we will not be having a meeting on monday the 26th. Our next meeting will be on monday, september 9. Mr. President , is not in honor of my 40th birthday . It sure is. [laughter] i have nothing else. Do we have any other commissioner comments . Commissioner ortiz. Last week i attended a conference in san diego. It hosted array of things that concerned the latino community. Obviously i was there to represent the Small Business issues area what did arise, and i want any Small Business to be very, very concerned about is i9. Make sure your i9s are filed properly, regardless of the business. You can get find for having a scribble, or not following it properly. I think, as a Small Business owner, we are not experts in that. Lets make sure our i9s are in order. Another thing that affected california, is the bail bond issue. So, if you get arrested friday night, you wont be released until monday, because there is no longer the bail option. That does affect a lot of our Small Businesses. I was in the conference, right or wrong, im not getting into why you got arrested friday night, if you do have the bail option you could lose your job. It affects a lot of the Food Industry, believe it or not. Saturdays and sundays are our busiest days, for whatever reason. Im not going to get into the details, if my staff doesnt have the option to bail out. There is legislation, to put on the ballot. The spirit of the original legislation. But, if there is another tier where you do have the option, it does impact our Small Businesses, especially the Food Industry over the weekend. Just putting that out there. Thank you. Yes, i attended the chinatown , it is a new item that is organized by the entertainment commission. He worked with the local merchants to put it together. Every sunday, for the next eight sundays, counting yesterday, there will be activities, you know, in chinatown. They have different themes. Yesterday was classic car exhibition, and antique car fare. They had a little parade, and the lion dance. And a fashion show. August 18, 25, september 1, september 8, and september 15. There will be different themes. They will have a history day, and a pop up food fest, martial arts, and also the other one is healthy and safe chinatown. One of the merchants told me, because of this, her business has gone up 30 . Theyre hoping to bring more people to chinatown to help with the business economy. Thank you. So, i was asked to speak at an event on the eighth call the real food, real stories. Its a nonprofit. I got to speak to a whole crowd of millennials that consider themselves foodies, but really dont understand the struggles that our Small Businesses, particularly our minority, and immigrant retailers deal with. That was really cool, because i got to tell them about our work and how they can be engaged with their favorite businesses, and try to understand about what they go through, and how they can support. That was neat. Also, i went to a couple of hearings, in the last month, with some other merchants and we have been tracking amazon, and the cloud kitchen applications for off sale alcohol permits. I was also asked that we keep track of that, in new business, and add it to our resolution that are affecting Small Businesses. And, also, i will ask, if i have a moment at the end to close the medium in memorial of one of our local legacy businesses got lost someone in the gilroy garlic festival shooting. Absolutely. I just wanted to bring the commissions attention, there was an article in the chronicle last week, i dont know if any of you saw it it was about ice sandwiches. Maybe some of you have had the sandwiches . What is not to like about like . I think the article is directly relevant to our work, because he talked about how he has one location in San Francisco, and 49 locations outside of San Francisco and a number of other states. They asked him, why didnt you open anymore locations in San Francisco . He mentioned the permit process, which we are well familiar with. He also mentioned the formula retail provisions, as being something that locked him out. By sheer coincidence, i was wrestling with my son, on the couch, knocked over my laptop and destroyed the screen and had to take the laptop i wanted to take it to apple, but apple said it would be two weeks. We want to know who won the wrestling match, though . Clearly heated. Hes 11 years old. Clearly he did. Hes 11 years old. The laptop lost. Apple recommended i go to the store, mobile kangaroo, whom ive never heard of before. I was a little iffy, i went, they they are in north beach. Kind of a schlep where im coming from. I made it up there. I was greeted by the owner, ted. He said, you are lucky you came here, because we can turn it around faster than apple can. I said, geez, its so hard to get out here, why dont you open up something on the other side of town . People have laptops there, too, phones and whatnot. He said, we have 15 locations in the bay area, but i cannot we have tried, we looked into it, but its too hard to open another one in the city, because of the formula retail. I thought this is the second time, in 48 hours, that i have read about a local Hometown Hero who has built up a successful business, in the city, hiring fellow residents, made it through that rigmarole that makes it so hard to succeed, so hard to get ahead. Finally built a successful business, and we slammed the door shut and tell them to get out, and get lost. I think we can do better. I get it, we dont want mcdonalds, and wendys opening up on guerrero and haight street , nobody wants to see giant targets everywhere, although it seems like we have a couple in the city anyway. That leads to another point. It seems like the formula retail provision primarily seems to benefit the Larger Companies that have the capacity, to circumnavigate it and lock out these smaller businesses that are Hometown Heroes. They have found something that works. We should be celebrating them. We should be encouraging them to open up more locations. We should be helping them anyway we can. I am pretty fired up about this. By the way, sheer coincidence, my business would also be prohibited from opening another location in San Francisco, because we have 15 locations on the threshold is 11. This isnt about me, i dont want to open another location, even if i was allowed to come i wouldnt do it. The point is, i think we can do better. I think we can do better for our local Hometown Heroes. I wanted to bring the commissions attention to these articles, get us thinking about this. I will certainly be reaching out to the relevant supervisors office, trying to determine if there is any room for negotiations here on any of the stuff, so we can have another ike place, or a mobile kangaroo. These services that our residents want, and enjoy, that our local entrepreneurs to celebrate and encourage them. Good timing, because San FranciscoBusiness Times this weekend also had an article, they had an editorial that we need to relook at our formula retail rules because molly stones has put in a bid to open in the old lombardi sports, because whole foods could not because it cannot get past the formula retail hurdle for the neighbors. Molly stones can, because they have nine locations. Upon opening the store, if they are approved, and they open at lombardis, they can never open another store in San Francisco. They will be at the formula retail limit and they will go through that process. Here we are, theyre going to come in, right underneath, solve a problem for us, and basically were going to lock them out. I think, you know, 1011 is an arbitrary number. We have to draw a line in the somewhat sand somewhere, i guess. We are finding that the arbitrary number is too low. My observation would be locally owned area may be a separate consideration from looking at International Corporations coming in. My other observation would be, there may be some room to negotiate lower talking about the size of the footprint. There are others that have been affected by this. If you want, we can move both of these items under new business instead of under commission reports. You both have made good. Especially with ike. I know ike, and i know his frustration. I know that article was coming out. Especially when the first ikes was in my neighborhood, the first superduper was in my neighborhood. Hes not opening up anymore anymore in the city, for that reason. Those are the best burgers. Friends of the caliber owner, i disagree. I know he would like to open more locations, as well. Okay. Any other commissioner comments, or report . To be have any members of the public who would like to make comment on item number seven . Seeing none. Anymore reports . Number seven is closed. Next item, new business. New business. Allows commissioners to introduce new agenda items for future consideration by the commission. Discussion item. I want to ask for a couple. I have been talking to a lot of the taxis lately, because i happen to be at a board of supervisors hearing that they are at. They are going regularly. They are organizing themselves, and have documentation and case studies for what they are going through. I wanted to put that on our new business to see where the city is at, in supporting that. They are Small Businesses. I would like our office to at least be able to report with the citys outs, and if we for these Small Businesses. Secondly, i think in the spirit of really waking up our elected to how they are going after Small Businesses with almost every new law that is introduced you know, in conversation with commissioner dooley, largely disproportionately immigrant and minority businesses are being affected by the regulations that are being in place, whether, you know, they are big picture ones are technical ones. I think this might warrant a joint hearing with immigrant, ive talked to their doctor before about this. I think we need to have a really strong voice in this, not just the regulations. I know when ice is in town, i know businesses that close their doors. We need to have a serious conversation about that. The sector i am in, is being harassed by city departments in bringing regulatory bodies that are state and federal, and there has been some Horror Stories that even reference peoples religion. I think the environment of enforcement is also something they need to consider how they are contributing to this environment appear. Thank you. Following up on our previous discussion, i would like to officially ask that we have an assessment of our formula retail rules. Great. Any other commissioner new business . Do we have any members of the public who would like to comment on new business . Seeing none. Public comment is closed. Sf gov tv please show the office of Small Business slide.

[ applause ]. Thank you. President buell were very fortunate in that ashley was legislative aide to supervisor katie tang and she worked in the Mayors Office and was a past member of prozak and even did some work for the recreation and Park Department in the past. So weve got a real pro and we welcome her aboard. She has very big shoes to fill.

But i welcome one and shed a tear for the other. That concludes my report. Thank you. Clerk is there any Public Comment . President buell there better not. Clerk seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Item 3, general managers report. General manager ginsburg this is the summer recap of the general managers report, which is sad to say. Its been a terrific summer so im going to run through some highlights starting with an outside lands wrapup. This past weekend the 12th annual outside lands Music Festival descended on golden gate park. The threeday festival featured 80 local restaurants, 46 breweries, yes, a grasslands, and was headlined this here by 21 pilots, the illuminate years and paul simon. Perhaps the biggest act of the weekend, separate and apart from paul simon was Donald Glover, Danny Glovers son, headlining saturday in front of the largest singleday crowd in the phils history in one of the very last performances of Donald Glovers hiphop career. So Donald Glover is an actor who took on the persona of Childish Gambino and became a remarkably successful musician. Paul simon closed out the festival bringing local legend and Founding Member of the grateful dead bob weir onto the stage to play the boxer. The last one was songs of silence which the neighbors were happy about. As has been reported, paul simon is generously donating all his net proceeds for this show to local environmental organizations. The San Francisco parks and lands is going to reinvest that donation into our golden gate 150th celebration next year. Over the past decade outside lands has contributed over 3 million a year to support Department Operations and this years total was 3. 6 million. With an additional 115,000 given to our Scholarship Program through a what they call later lands, a Charity Concert that they do later in the evening, where the proceeds go to our Scholarship Program. Then on top of that, another pot pays a salary of a fulltime gardner and contributes over 15,000 a year to upgrade and repairs where the area is held. On top of all of that they cover all of the overtime related costs to the event. I want to thank another planet and their partners, super fly. They do a fabulous job. They take stewardship of the park very serious. This year we know there were some heightened security issues, and i want to thank another planet for really going the absolute extra mile to make sure people felt safe and on top of that. A big thank you to the San FranciscoPolice Department and our San Francisco park rangers and the department of Emergency Management that did an extraordinary job. I want to thank Marissa Rodriguez from the office of cannabis for her leadership. This was the first event in United States history where it was not cannabis specific, where cannabis was legally sold and legally consumed. That required a heck of a lot of work. The space was space and well managed. Overall, we had it was a very healthy festival. There were no serious incidents. We had our usual medical calls, none of them related to grasslands. So it was a really good job. All of the agencies coordinated incredibly well. Also m. T. A. Also a special thanks for my own team which works really, really hard from deana and her team on the permit side to our park ranger division. Then of course our Park Maintenance teams, our golden gate Park Maintenance team, structural maintenance yard, everybody contributes to make sure that this event is well managed and safe and fun and joyous, which it was this year. Big thank you to all. This week also marks the end of another summer camp season. Just so you know the scope of our summer camp programs. 600 weeks of camp were offered this summer, with more than 15,000 registrants. More than 22,000 participants in summer programming overall, which includes adults and noncamp use activities. Over 1200 participants received scholarships this summer, totalling over 75 of 1 million. 1100 of those participants were in summer day camps. So we were we worked very hard to make sure that everyone had an opportunity to get out and play. Camp matter is going smoothly this summer. Summer is also a really important Workforce Development moment for us. This is when we get to hire, we get to hire kids, transitional aged youth, we participated in the mayors opportunities for all program. Just in recreation alone we hired 432 people this summer, including 72 folks up at camp matter and also 200 teenagers to help us with our camps. So a huge thank you to the hire entire recreation staff. I dont think any of them are here because theyre working and exhausted, but another job really well done. Also during since weve last been together, representatives from the San Francisco recreation and Parks Department attended the city parks aalliances greater and greener Parks Alliance joining parks organizations from around the globe in denver, colorado. There were over 200 cities represented at this conference from over 40 states and from 11 different countries. All gathering, all urban park professionals. The conference focused on six tracts, activating parks through urban recreation, city parks essentials, equity, funding, parks infrastructure, and urban greening and biodiversity. I was very, very proud of you should be very proud of our departments role in this conference. They led multiple sessions on topics ranging from park accessibility, to lowincome families, to engaging children with nature. We certainly look forward to taking what we learned at this conference and applying it to our own parks. I want to thank the city Parks Alliance and denver parks and Recreation Department for just being wonderful, wonderful hosts. Also this summer you may recall our San Francisco bay socks which is the largest allgirls Baseball Program anywhere. This past month our 9 and under and 13 and under San Francisco bay socks allgirls baseball teams participated in the fifth annual baseball for all National Girls baseball tournament. The tournament which has grown from 150 to 350 participants, ages 7 to 18, since inception took place in rockford, illinois, the home of the original rockford peaches of the original baseball league. Both of our teams placed in third place in the country in their respective divisions with the 9 and under team beating the los angeles monarchs and the 13 and under team beating boston. If you arent going to win the thing, at least we beat l. A. And boston. These are talented Baseball Players and we look forward to following their budding baseball careers throughout high school and beyond. Before summer is over, we have one more big two more big concerts coming up. Obviously harley strictly blue grass, but today im talking about the big picnic and stern grove. The Isley Brothers are going to play the big picnic, the last big concert of the year. This sunday its the 82nd season of the stern grove festival. Weve got amazing headliners. Though we dont want to say goodnight to the season. For those of you who were paying attention dont say goodnight is an Isley Brothers hit.

[ ] [ ] if you havent been there, commissioners and members of the public, the Basketball Court is truly extraordinary and i hope it becomes a model for what we do all over the city. I do want to thank the Kevin Durant Charity foundation. He may be a brooklyn net, but his legacy lives on and he was very committed to our community during his time in the bay area. Were very grateful to him and airbnb and again to my own team for managing an extraordinary project. That concludes the general managers report. President buell let me add on behalf of the commission to congratulation our general manager. The governor has appointed him to the state parks commission, and were very proud of you, fill. General manager ginsburg thank you. [ applause ]. Clerk is there any Public Comment on the general managers report . Good morning, commissioners. I just [ indiscernible ] our honorable state commissioner Phil Ginsburg has said. I wanted to comment on the kd 35 and the charity foundation. Before that after all that paint and everything else, i had sent him an email and he put my name down and [ indiscernible ] 1. 7 k. I thanked him for the donation and he and his partner, whoever that guy was, he looked like he was going to be okay. He jumped out of that Swimming Pool and he was all moving around and the pictures that i got from him so i thought that i would like to have that. That was from kd 35, his own page on facebook, and thats about there was Something Else i wanted to talk about. It had to do with 1 million or seven figures over that cannabis sale at outlands concert. I dont think phil had said anything about it. Thats a lot of money. I dont know what the park percentage is, but there was a lot more money. My brother lives out in that area. He screams about me all the time about it. I think that money is going to a good cause. Thank you. Thank you. Clerk any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Were now on item number 4, general Public Comment up to 15 minutes.

With respect to agenda items, you will have opportunity to address the commission when the item is reached in the meeting. I have three blue cards. Jude, planary, and maureen. Overhead, please. Im jude dekenorf with friends of the park. Before that i wanted to thank you with your support of outside lands. It was fantastic. A huge thank you to phil and staff. Right on, you guys knocked it out of the park. Ive been going every year since it started. So many moving parts and you made it look easy. It was clean every morning when i got there. Thank you for your support. Im sure ill be fan girling again. Now im going to talk about jackson. So my understanding that people from the community have been coming to give support of our project, and basically what the community is looking for is jackson to be identified on the next bond and to receive full funding so we can do our renovation all in one phase in order to serve our Current Community and our friends moving in. Just to acclimate you all. Here is jackson. Here is jean friends. Here is mission rec. Here is pretreoro rec center. That is half a mile from jackson and up a steep hill. This is the most recent one from the planning commission. So as you can see, we have a lot of people moving in. East side is the place to be or at least the place to build, and were looking for support for our parks on that side also. To that end i would just like to make sure that you know we have a signed m. O. U. With recs and parks. We hope to bring our plan for renovation hopefully to you soon. Right now were focused on advocating for as much allocation of the money, both city and private, to this project. You might be hearing from more people. I just wanted to let you know. Also to invite you, september 14 is a very popular day for partying in the park. You want to see what all the fuss is it doesnt show up, sorry. Were having a play in your park party on september 14. Were working with the Mayors Office, the Police Department, the warriors, our neighborhood businesses and community groups. Were having socials and games. Were going to have a popup dog park in carolina street. Were hoping that mr. Ginsburg will be there also. We invite all of you to come out and see what the fuss is about. Our historic clubhouse will be open. We would like to see you there. Thank you. President buell thank you. Clerk next speaker. Good morning, im maureen mcvary here on behalf of the friends of jackson park. This time i thought id wear my heart on my chest. I am here asking that the full park remodel plan proposed and created by the friends of jackson park, with preinput and collaboration with the officials at park and rec and the community beyond the parkland measure. Two months at this meeting i believe there was a discussion at that meeting regarding how the parks on the bond were chosen. Has that been discussed further and communicated to the public . Im interested in that answer. To me its a simple decision to say yes to the full remodelled park. I ask you as a fellow citizen to drive over to our hood and witness the changes we have endured and are enduring. I previously lived in north beach. Right away i noticed how our park was not served. Our streets were really hard on your cars suspension and we were almost ignored. Since 1984 thanks to your energy bringing bands and things to the park, many of the parks have been improved tremendously. Mclaren park and all the rest and now its our turn. I want to understand how parks are chosen for the 2020 bond. I ask for support for the full and complete remodel. With your one step this approval from you will propel Community Involvement in the passage of the bond in 2020. Dont forget us. You need our energy and we need to be heard. Lastly, i thank you for your service. I know as humans we tend to stay in our own Little Pocket, but as a steward to the parks and Rec Department and a voice for all of us in this city, i ask you, i implore you, and i welcome you to visit our Little Pocket of San Francisco before you make a decision on this really important subject. Im going to take a break. I wont come back for a couple of months because i see your eyes roll back in your heads. But i am desperately hoping you will give us your support. Just come and visit us. Thank you. President buell thank you. Clerk next speaker, please. Good morning. My name is planary albert. I hope to gain your support for the friends of jackson park project proposal project. I was born in San Francisco on pretrero hill. I moved away for college and came back in this is my first time doing anything like this. Hopefully so jackson park was my childhood park. I dont remember the memories particularly, but i went to toddler class in our community center. And in the 90s when i was still in the bay area, i would visit the park and notice the renovations that were done in the 90s and then went to college and came back to pretrero hill to live on my own and noted that wasnt any more renovations done to jackson park. So it is now 2019, this year has gone by quick, but its about time to start bringing in new life to this park. As someones whos grown up in San Francisco and thinking about having a family here and supporting things, i have joined friends of jackson park to help show my support for the park and grow support and hopefully persuade you to please think about jackson park as a place that needs to be a priority project on the next parks bond. So i thank you for your consideration. Maybe next time i will be a little bit more clear. Thank you so much. President buell thank you. Clerk is there any other Public Comments .
