Yes, thank you all for committing the time you did and efforts before this meeting we received a number of very thorough letters detailing this issue and i appreciate that from the community and also appreciate the engagement of the Supervisors Office and the department of Public Health and so, it goes on from here. So thank you all. Commissioners we will move on to item no. 5 which is the directors report. So in your, i do not have a written report for you tonight. In your packet though i do want you to know that, in your packet, i dont have a copy of it myself but there is a calendar of events for Small Business week. Hang on just a moment. Maybe item no. 5 or 6. So very excited. I didnt get it either. Saturday, the citys Sidewalk Sale is memorial weekend . We are doing it both weekends. Some on the 18 and some on the 23rd. Monday night the 18, flavors of San Francisco our kickoff event from 5 30 to 8 30. This is a large networking event for Small Businesses and to meet with our Small Business week sponsors and the city departments and other nonprofits that provide resources and assistance to Small Businesses. Tuesday is the Small Business annual awards to honor honorees and thats from 34 00. That does involve the commission. So we have the president open, the vicepresident close and we have a reception for the honorees right before. Thats the tuesday. Then tuesday evening we have three, i think events going on. Yes, three events going on. The mega made contact with golden gate Businesses Association and the castro merchants at the lgbt center and this year for the first time the api how to succeed as an American Business owner. Commissioner riley has been working with tong from the sba working together for this event. And we have a latinos entrepreneurs business in adjourn. Journey we have three events which is exciting. Thats tuesday evening. Wednesday evening is business awards with bank of america. This is a small private reception event. Then thursday is a Small Business champion mixer. So this is a mixer with the Council District merchants and sf Economic Development organization doing a mixer together. Very pleased that this year st environment has come on as a sponsor and will be sponsoring this event as well. Then friday different this year than the previous years but we are hosting the conference at city college the chinatown campus. We found that the event Small Business week is most successful when we are able to host a conference with multiple multiple workshops. We werent able to do that last year. It did okay but not extremely well. We had difficulty finding space to host the conference where we can have ten workshops happening at four different times throughout the day for each of those sessions and so in the past we had used city sf state downtown campus. They closed one of they are floors. So City College Campus was able to accommodate us on a friday. This will be a change for us to do it on a friday but i think very important. I will send you out the finalized list of conferences and we have some very exciting new things for the conference this year. We are also kind of targeting to have our conference to have a little bit more direction towards existing businesses and not just start up businesses. So thats exciting. Then after that we will have a Small Business conference happy hour in the lobby and ending the week again with Sidewalk Sales. So, that is the big thing for the office. I do want to announce that carol chung that has officially started her position as the business counselor prince georges prince project manager. She is now working in the office, her first day was march 30th. So, i will have her come to the next Commission Meeting during her work hours to introduce herself. Carol does speak both cantonese and mandarin. She worked at city college at the dental school. Next, i think i was not able to really get the information that i wanted to get to you to really start preparing for the Legacy Business Program so we will engage with that. I will be sending out a series of items that i do need to have you read ahead of the next meeting and so be looking for that from me later in the week. And then i do want to let you know that we are engaging to enhance our sales force so that we are one automating some surveys to start having better engagement and improved engagement with the individuals that we have serviced and counseled special those that its been a while so we can check in and see how they are doing, are they growing their business or did they actually get their business open so we can sort of understand what some of the needs are and remind people that we are there to assist them. I think with that i will just leave unless you have other questions. What about Commission Secretary . That will be finalized hopefully soon within the next week or two. There is a couple steps with dhr that we are waiting to get some confirmation back on. Perfect. Thank you. I know im in a hurry. So i have nothing to report. So that concludes my report. We can move on to item no. 6. President s report. I have nothing to report. Item no. 7, vicepresident s report. I have a long list, kidding. Nothing to report. Item no. 8. Commissioners report . I have one item. I did attend the next. Payroll tax to gross receipts tax seminar. The feedback with cpas. It was very good. The outreach that the City Treasurers Office has done, his name, greg cato has done especially with the cpas that were in attendance. There is about 30 of them. I just want to give a shout out to greg and Jose Cisneros on that outreach. There were people complaining and it wasnt perfect, but greg was able to answer all the questions and i was very impressed with the outcome of that. Thats it. Any other commissioner reports . Okay. Thats it on that one. New business . Any new business. Item no. 9. No new business. That leaves us to item no. 10. Adjournment. I motion to adjourn. Second. All in favor say, aye. Aye. Any opposed .
