Has been provided a staff report, a draft resolution, the applicati application, a case report. There are copies on the table in the public binders. Item 3 a is ehs pilates. The business is an education center. It is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century after joseph pilates. Ehs pilates was one of the first pilates studios on the west coa coast. In 2002, the business moved to its Current Location on valencia street and in 2007 Tracey Sylvester purchased the studio. In 2015, tracey became the sole owner of the business. Although ehs pilates is not yet 30 years old, it is eligible for listing on the registry because it faces a significant risk of displacement. Item 3 desist b is f. Dorian inc. The store features contemporary crafts, ethnic arts, and home decor displayed with museum esthetic. Their wares include jewellery, glassware, and more. 2001 f. Dorian moved from 388 hayes street to 370 to allow them to open their private dining room. The business is not yet 30 years old, but it is eligible for listing on the registry because it faces displacement. Item 3 c is la raza centro legal. It is an organization dedicated to empowering many minority groups to advocate for civil and human rights. The organization combines Legal Services and advocacy to build grassroots power and alliances towards creating a just society. It was founded by a group of students in 1974. The students took inspiration from the civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s. In 1989 the organization copurchased and moved to their Current Location. The site rents its offices to a variety of organizations in order to create a safe space for the raza Indigenous Community to advance culturally and politically in northern california. Item 3 d is moshi moshi. It is a japanese restaurant. The business started as a small bar and teriyaki house. The owner often expounds about the flow, style, and overall vibe of the restaurant. They are not concerned with japanese cuisine, but are more focused on how those who work there influence the atmosphere. It houses one of the largest japanese whiskey collections in the city. Item 3 e is original joes. The business is an italianamerican sitdown restaurant that initially opened in 1937 by a croatian immigrant tony roden and his business partner. It started as a 14store counter and grew into a culinary landmark institution. Serving oldfashioned italianamerican fare, they provide hardy portions at reasonable prices. The oldest of all the restaurants, the original joes was the innovator of the renowned joes concept. Original joes moved to its presentday location in north beach after a fire in 2007. Items were salvaged from the fire and restored, including original signage, booths, wood paneling, original brick from the back bar for the fireplace, kich counter stools, bar stools, art work on the walls. The business is still owned and operated by the family of tony roden. Item 3 f is San Francisco zen center. The Organization Established in 1962 is one of the largest zen residential training and Practice Centers outside of asia. The soto zen or soto school is one of the largest of three sects of japanese buddhism. As the center grew, it became necessary to look for an independent home. Since 1969, the zen centers main location has been 300 page street, a building designed by julia morgan to support a residential community. There are large communal spaces on the lower floors and residential upstairs. They also run a monastic re stre street. All six businesses received a positive recommendation from the Historic Preservation commission. After reviewing the applications and the application from h. P. C. , staff finds the businesses have met the criteria for listing on the legacy business registry. There are six draft resolutions for consideration by the Small Business commission, one for each of the applicants. Your support of the businesses should be as a motion in favor of the resolutions. In the resolutions, please pay close attention to the core physical features or traditions that define the business. Once approved, the businesses must maintain these physical features or traditions in order to remain on the legacy business registry. For the pilates its the pilates studio. For f. Dorian its gift shop. For la raza its assistant to immigrant or lowincome communities. For moshi moshi its restaurant featuring japanese cuisine. For original joes its italianamerican cuisine and for the zen center its the training in buddhism. This completes my presentation. Do we have any questions or do we want to go straight into Public Comment . We have well hear from supervisor Aaron Peskins office. Just a few remarks about original joes. This is one of those businesses that just embodies this whole program. I mean, it is the legacy business. I imagine everybody sitting up here has probably spent some time at original joes at some point whether it was at 144 Taylor Street or now at its 601 union location. Its just one of those businesses, its hard to imagine San Francisco without it. Its not been at the north beach location for a fraction of its lifetime and its hard to imagine north beach without this business there. Its is a cornerstone of our north Beach Community. I encourage you to add this to the legacy business registry. I brought a certificate of honor for original joes, and on behalf of supervisor peskin to mr. Dugen, he will see you this friday. Hes looking forward to seeing you at original joes. To all the applicants and businesses before you, congratulations, this is really such a special program. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Do you have any . Yes. So i have a few speaker cards here. Would Tracey Sylvester like to come to the podium. Hi. Hello, nice to meet you all. I first want to say thank you to rick for that fine presentation and all the support that the legacy Business Office has given us all during this time. I just wanted to come up and introduce myself and put a face to the business. I feel like this is a great privilege to be here and its a privilege to be a Business Owner in this great city. Im grateful for the opportunity to meet you all. Im here on behalf of the entire team of ehs pilates. We would be honored if you would consider us as part of the tradition of legacy business in San Francisco. Just from a personal note, it was really interesting exploration going through this whole process. It gave me a lot of time to reflect on what it is about our business that is so special. One of the main goals of our business is to help clients strive to live life strong and strive to be pain free so they can participate more fully and wholly in this citizen as citizens. Myself, i had double hip replacement surgery a couple years back. Knowing what it felt like for me to be in a physical wellness environment and have all the tools at my leisure to be able to heal myself, when i was going through the process i started saying no to everything in my life, started being less of a participant in this city and found myself withdrawing more and more just because of the paint and discomfort i was in. Seeing all of our clients being able to be strong and pain free and move about the city just gives me great pleasure and pride and i know it does for the trainers at our business. It has been amazing over the past 27 years to see the impact we have in peoples lives. We service over 800 people a week at ehs pilates and hope to continue to do so. One of the other important things i want to bring attention to is the help that you all do in giving us recognition and helping market ourselves to be able to showcase that weve been around for this long. As an owner thats been at the helm, it gives me the ability to be in charge of a business thats been around for so long, the ability to look outside my business and participate in other areas. Im on the Mission Merchants board of directors. We provide scholarships and i work with the Hispanic Chamber of commerce in San Francisco. Im also a delegate on the council of merchants in San Francisco. In the process of currently negotiating a tenyear lease and hope to be around for many more years to come because i do want to be able to participate more and more outside of being a Business Owner and step out of the business at large. Thank you. Next speaker. I have Michael Miller followed by richard portugal. This is michael f. Miller and im Richard Dorian portugal, hence the name f. Dorian. Were very excited to join the legacy Business Program. Ill keep this very brief. We have been in business in the 300 block of hayes street for many, many years and have witnessed firsthand the vast changes to San Francisco. We believe the Legacy Program will help preserve the unique charm which makes San Francisco so very special. We thank you for considering our application. Thank you so much. Any questions . No. Thank you. Any other speakers . Come on up. First of all, if supervisor peskin is watching, hello. You never know. I spoke before you guys, ladies and gentlemen, on april 6. My name is john dugan from original joes restaurant. My mom was supposed to be here this evening, but shes actually in italy. Tomorrow is her 73rd birthday, september 10. So when original joes opened, she was 3 years old. My sister is here today. For us, legacy rings true because when we go to work every day we try to live up to my grandfather and my mothers legacy. Were so proud to have come to the north Beach Community and have our brand resonate with those people who live in that neighborhood. For us to take our history from Taylor Street 70 years in the tender loin, were just so proud. I know my grandfather would be proud to see us not just having a business, but having something that the city of San Francisco has responded so well to. So we thank you for your consideration. Thank you. Thank you. Any other members of the public that want to make Public Comment . You came all the way over here, say something. Its been a long haul. Thanks. My name is phil pakinson. Im here representing moshi moshi. I remember going to joes and go to church every sunday, my dad would take us down there. So its kind of cool to be elected with them. I kind of said it in the other meeting i think that mitz embodies this program as well for everything hes done through the dog patch and watching that neighborhood grow around him. When he was offered money to sell the building he turned down multimillion dollar offers because the legacy is more important than the money. As a San Francisco native, im proud to work for somebody like that and be in a business that is a part of San Franciscos legacy. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it. Thank you. I slipped over here, so ill speak on behalf of moshi moshi. I am a customer going back to the niko days in the 1970s. I have photographs of us being young boys in 1976. Moshi moshi is a quintessential restaurant. There is a mix of people that go there, young and old, all races and everybody is equally welcome and greeted so warmly. I cant believe hes managed to hang in there all these years. Moshi moshi is welldeserving of a legacy business status. Thank you. Thank you. Any other members of the public . Okay. Public comment is closed. Commissioners, commissioner dooley. I was just there two days ago eating. Youre just such a huge part of our neighborhood. Everyone loves you. Everyone loves your food. You can meet anyone in the world could be in that restaurant at any given moment. Its just where everyone goes to meet and greet and also to have a wonderful meal. So so well deserved and were so proud of you. Thank you. Commissioner ortiz. I said to you guys back in april, there is no s. F. Without o. J. Im proud to nominate you shortly. Thank you for everything that you do not just for north beach, but the community as a whole. I got to meet your grandfather on once. I love your mom. Hopefully we can surprise her with a good birthday gift. Also for the cetro la raza, youve been doing such great work in the neighborhood. For us in the neighborhood, we just call you la raza. Go there and theyll help you with documentation or help you with any legal questions you might have. I know you might be watching out there. Thank you for all the work youve done throughout the years as well. Commissioner dwight. Thank you all for coming out tonight. This is our favourite part of this whole commission here is hearing these Great Stories of businesses that we know very well and some that we dont know. Its always great to hear a new story and see some of our favourite stories. I hail from dog patch as well. Shout out to moshi moshi. And f. Dorian, ive been by the shop many times. Great store. Original joes, what would north beach be without them . Quintessential restaurant there in north beach. The zen center, wow, what a fabulous building. You guys lucked out. Keep that place. Its really an awesome facility. Thanks for doing all the hard work too. I know that richard gives you a lot of help. Being able to heavily on your businesses as Small Business owners. I know myself were so much in the daytoday that we forget where we come from and worried about where were going in the moment. This program really allows people to write down their own legacies for their families and reflect on the part that theyve the role that theyve played in what are often multigenerational businesses and hopefully to go on for generations more. Thank you for that. Youve entered it into the record of San Francisco by joining this program and youve entered it into your own personal records by going through the process yourself. Thank you for coming out tonight. I love hearing about the multigenerational businesses. The idea that a family with succeed and persevere and stick together and continue to keep the business thriving every time we hear one of those stories coming in. It makes my heart swell, in part because i have two boys and they have taken absolutely no interest in my business at all. Perhaps you give me hope. Moshi moshi, you know, i used to play music professionally. We would be at bottom of the hill playing shows all the time and that was our stop after the show, including we did a 20year reunion show and everybody went there afterwards and there was about 30 of us crammed into that side room off to the back. You guys have an incredible restaurant and have definitely been a linchpin to the dog patch area before i think they called it the dog patch. So thank you for all of that. Finally, the zen center, i didnt see anybody here from there, but buddha said the root of all suffering is desire. I would say the root of all satisfaction is joining the legacy commission, so kudos to them. Thank you. Commissioner zouzounis. Thank you to everyone who came and spoke to us and put a face to your business. It really validates the advocacy that we do and the advocacy that you all represent as Small Businesses and how we allow each other to reproduce our days. Thank you for your personal testimonies because those are so important in this process. Often the hard work that we put in sometimes gets lost. I think this is beautiful that we can all reflect on it together. Thank you for the show of support, everybody. Great. I just want to just congratulate everybody who applied, went through this process. It says a lot and it means a lot. Each one of these businesses here, theyre totally different, but yet youre all part of the fabric of San Francisco. I do want to give a shout out to original joes. I was at Taylor Street. Its my favourite restaurant in the city. It still is if you can get in there. Its hard to get into that one at north beach ever since you moved. Congratulations on each and every one of you and a good job in what you do in your daytoday businesses. So do we have a motion . Move to approve all six to add these businesses to the legacy registry. Motion by commissioner dwight to approve all six applications for the legacy business registry seconded by commissioner dooley. Roll call vote. [roll call vote]. Clerk motion passes 60 with one absent. Great. Congratulations. [ applause ]. Commissioners, were going to do one big group photo. Okay. Where do you want to do it .

Just do we have a motion to approve . Move to approve the minutes. All in favour just say yes. Yes. Any opposed . Motion passes 60. Next item, please. Clerk item 5, directors report. Update and report on the office of Small Business and the Small Business assistance center, department programs, policy and legislative matters, announcements from the mayor and announcements regarding Small Business activities. Discussion item. Good evening, commissioners. I am the director of the office of Small Business. I am happy to announce the streamlining legislation that you heard in march has finally passed the full board on its second reading last tuesday, and the mayor is going to have a ceremonial signing on this wednesd wednesday, september 11, at 11 a. M. Ive provided you with the information in terms of where its going to be. So if youre i know that ive heard from several of you that youre going to be able to attend and thank you. The accessible business entrance program, december 1, 2019, is the deadline for all categories to submit their checklists. As a concern of having a low response rate, a notice was sent out last week from the department of building inspection that now says if you do not get your checklist in, we will begin to issue notice of violation. That was sent out to 9,000 Property Owners. So we are now were seeing the results. Were unfortunately having hearing the results the plus and the minus is were fielding quite a few calls, but that means this particular letter has garnished the attention of Property Owners where theyre now calling for immediate action and response from them. Ive been getting a lot of inquiries from merchants in my neighborhood, and theyre all just very alarmed and dont understand it and so where should they go . If it is a business is it a business thats also a Property Owner or just the one in particular and he passed the inspection, hes had a lot of things done, so he was concerned does that not count. So ria aldenaldo is the point person for businesses who are also Property Owners or any business that is being required by their Property Owner. So rias extension is or her phone number is 4155546408. She wont be in until wednesday, but she is the person who is handling all of those cases. I just wanted to bring it to your attention because you may be, again, hearing from businesses. And, of course, if there are Property Owners who are beginning to talk to their businesses in regards to this, please direct them to our office and to ria. City build has been operating for almost a year with an acting director, ken nim and the mayor Just Announced last week that she had officially appointed him as the new director for city build. Legacy business, so the Business Assistance grant, the current one for this year will be closing at the end of this month. Rick and i are working on designing a new assistance program. So our goal is to have that done and completed working through the mayors Budget Office and being able to come and present to you probably early january. And then the parttime staff that was funded through the addback system, i am working with our finance department to be able to get that fully funded and to be able to post the position at the beginning of october. So hopefully we will be able to have that position hired and be able to start processing the grants by midnovember. Weve had some substantial massage policy work come up in the last few weeks. So active space, the legislation passed and is fine by the mayor. Our office along with the Planning Department have met with the Property Owner. Were pleased to say that the Property Owner is taking the primary responsibility of processing the buildings through the establishing the use, so that each of these individual businesses are not going to have to go through that process. Were still having some discussions about how the office space which is required by legislation to go through the d. R. , so were still working through that. In terms of all the other business types, the Property Owner is going to handle that responsibility. Any business that does need a license to operate from d. P. H. , such as the massage or body work, tattoo artist, they still have to go through that standard licensing process. But this will cut down a substantial amount of work and cost for those businesses. And then week before last, over 220 notices were sent out by the department of Public Health notifying massage businesses that they may not be in compliance. This came from a complaint and its actually the same complaint that was filed with the active space complaint. The department didnt have the bandwidth to handle it all at the same time. So these notices were sent out. This was sent out citywide, not necessarily to a particular location. So as a result, supervisor brown did want to call for the drafting of legislation and she did so at the board of supervisors last week. Dominica has been working on a policy paper to help guide the direction for where we need to go with the legislation. So supervisor brown used the preliminary findings of the paper that dominica is working on to use for her calling for the legislation to be drafted. Dominica will soon be done with completing the policy paper. You will be receiving a highlevel report on that. We will also be dominica will be providing that. And along with the resolution that will accompany it to the mayor and the board of supervisors and department suggesting that they review and consider the topic of the paper. So i just want to give an early shout out to dominica for the great work shes been doing around the policy paper. We had hoped we would have a little more time to complete it, but the nature of it, its presented itself with the violations. So supervisor brown is definitely interested in moving in the direction. If you recall in 2015 the commission spoke very strongly that massage and body work should be considered as the same as health services. So supervisor brown is in agreement, so that was the direction. Most of the work will need to be done around the planning and the zoning changes. Other Commission Updates just to give you i mentioned this last time. So the bis portal is transitioning over to our office officially this week. We are making headway on your request regarding tablets. In and amongst all the work [ indiscernible ] yes, we will. So dominica, the first step she is doing is taking a look at the various software potential software that is out there for use for your kinds of needs, for meetings and agenda packets and well want to assess what will work for our commissions needs. And then once we get that determined, then well start working on testing it out before we do a full investment on the tablets. Were still targeting sort of end of october to have a good sense of direction in terms of where were going. And then the construction mitigation hearing we are targeting for october 7. Just to remind you that because it is october and we have the meeting the first monday of the month instead of the second monday of the month because of the holiday. The economic Mitigation Working Group will be starting at the beginning of october, and that will be going on for the next six months. Then we have listed out the two pieces of legislation that is slated for the commission to hear at the next meeting. Then october 7 were tentative at this point with supervisor peskins office to hear the promotion of reusable foodware which includes the 0. 25 for compostable cups or recyclable cups. And then requirement of reusable foodware around food takeout. Just to assure, i did forward you an announcement, but to state it publicly for the Business Community watching. The harassment in the Workplace Training thats required for all staff for businesses that are five or more employees has been extended one year. Now the completion date is january 1, 2021. So thats a bit of a relief for i think some of our Small Businesses who were relying on the department of labor to have the training set up. Then i lastly just want to report out. So we do report numbers to the Controllers Office and just to give you our end of the fiscal year report which is on page 3. The total number of pieces of legislation and policy items that the commission has heard, the number of outreach events the office is engaged with. What i do want to highlight is the number of Small Businesses assisted. So it was essentially an 8 increase over last year. Weve been continuously going up. So we are fairly at capacity in terms of options. We do have two to three individuals waiting to be serviced. So this will likely be something that ill need to be discussing with you further in the fiscal year. So that concludes my report. One last thing. On behalf of scott howgie and Paul Pendergast they asked me to close the meeting in memoriam of angel carrera. He was initially appointed to the position of Business ProgramDevelopment Manager by govern scwharts and he worked tirelessly to get disabled veterans and Small Business contracts through the state contracts. Paul asked me to provide a special note that for the last few years angel has been working closely with paul to develop a statewide lgbt Business Organization that brought together the seven lgbt chambers. So they were just about to launch together what they were going to call the buildout california, which is a capital out for a Small Program for lgbt Small Businesses to promote for the state to do business with lgbt professionals. Thank you. Take any questions if they have any. Do you have any questions for the director . Okay. Seeing oh, commissioner zouzounis. Thank you for the report. Its duly noted the big items that our staff and dominica are going to be prioritizing, but i also was interested to see if we had a list of new business and if that was going to be prioritized as well for next steps and at least to have a visual kind of the the cumulative new business. Yes. And at the last meeting i highlighted what was going to be over the next six months. So we will be able to convene in the next couple of weeks just to sort of chart out oh, thats right. Chart out the rest. Working with supervisor browns office, they asked us to work very closely to project manage this piece of legislation through. So it will take up a fair amount of our time. I mean, once the legislation is drafted and written, it will open it up for us to work on the remaining items. But at the next meeting well present a timeline that takes that into consideration. Thank you. Okay. Commissioner lauana. Maybe a longerterm project here, but thinking about our website. I was having conversations prior to the hearing clerk can you speak into the microphone, please. Sorry. Thinking about our website, wondering whether or not we can budget some time to discuss t t that, waying it could be better, easy to update, more informative. This is all sort of keeping in line with kind of my push to improve communications. Yes, we can have a conversation with that. We are the city is undergoing department by department some changes. So or theyre working to reformat the entire citys websites to be more mobile, friendly, and usable. And so i will get back to you and to the commission on what that timeline is. If were a ways out, then we can figure out what is the next step. I think we should engage with that process so that we get something thats optimized for our needs as possible. Because if were not engaged with that process, were just going to get whatever, right . And i dont want to say were not engaged. It is just a triage of the citys budget and where we are with it. Yes, okay. Commissioner dooley. This is actually the first ive heard about the economic Mitigation Working Group, something that i know many of us are really interested in. Who is there some way that some of us on this commission can become involved . And i apologize, its the ecigarette working the mitigation from our resolution. Oh, okay. Commissioner zouzounis. Also in line with the commissioners being able to better understand what the office is doing and support that wo work, because we field questions from businesses all the time, im curious if theres an incident log or some kind of best practices for questions that we can be shared on to help coordinate exactly our responses to people and kind of streamline some of the process that gets to you, the oneonones and be able to assist with that. That would be really helpful, whether its a soft story question or a d. P. H. Question. Im curious if theres an incident log or Something Like that. We do not have what youre thinking as an incident log. We have our sales force. So sales force, every single substantial client transaction, so those would definitely come into the counter email and substantial phone conversations where people are willing to take the time to share their information, get logged into sales force. So i think probably in, lets say, the situation of this last situation with the massage, just on friday in trying to figure out for us being in the situation of being able to field these calls, working with the Supervisors Office, just last friday we sent out an announcement to all the supervis Supervisors Office saying were recommending as these practitioners are contacting you now that the supervisor has made an announcement that shes calling for the drafting of legislation, please direct people to us. Well help them on a casebycase basis as we can and just to provide you with that information. I think if so i think maybe what im hearing is that if theres certain sort of project things that perhaps we can communicate to you how were communicating to the Business Community that contact our office. Totally. Thank you. Any other questions before we go into Public Comment . Do we have any members of the public who would like to comment on the directors report . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Any other questions . Item 5 is closed. Next item, please. Clerk item 6. Commissioners reports allows president , Vice President , commissioners to report on Small Business activities and make announcements that are of interest to the Small Business community. Discussion item. Commissioner ortiz. I have two things. First i want to give a shout out to the geneva steakhouse, they just recently reopened after a remodel. Its an example about where the owner was about to sell. He sold to the neighbor up the street. I was with the owners and its just cruel to see that that legacy, even though he didnt have family members to pass on, because he opted for legacy as opposed to cashing out. So that segues into the second part of what i want to report on. We have mission pie and the other piripiri on valencia. Its because the owners wanted more rent out of them. That also leads to these owners rather than have a vacant storefront because that isnt punitive. Theyd rather not continue to a least successful company. Piripiri just shut down. That comes to the lack of legislation. Were really not doing anything. By the time we catch up, we might not have these little cooler restaurants. Not every restaurant that comes to San Francisco is going to be some chic 5 million build out. So i dont know what we do, but i do definitely want to go on record so one day we dont look back and say what happened . I have to go back to that geneva steakhouse. Yeah, its old school. Commissioner dooley. I just wanted to mention that ive still been in frequent contact with the tenants at active space and following their path, im still hearing things theyre anxious about, but im happy to hear something is moving forward for them. The other thing i have to report is ill be attending the renaissan Renaissance Entrepreneurial Center event this thursday night. Thats all i have. Anything else . Nothing. Do we have any members of public who would like to comment on commissioner reports . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Next item, please. Clerk item 7, new business.
