Coming up with a transition between contract a and b. None of the product is pr pro py tore. We by it and own it and get to use it. Ill just tell you where im at. I was here in 2017 and i owned it then and i will own it now. Once you sign off on something, you dont walk back. We had a discussion in 2017 and this would all come up and laid out. And i supported it then and i support it now. I appreciate what youre saying. Whatever, but we signed off on this as a commission. And everyone commission there, i was here, president brandon, commission kunalokis and commission katz, we had this discussion and it was tough. I cant see this putting this out to bid i mean, we have to own this. We signed off on it. Im going to vote in favour because i agreed to do that.

But i tell you where im at and if youre worried its no good, you cant s
Thank you for that. I am looking forward to this retreat. We do have one more meeting before the retreat, right . We can talk about of a little more there. I watched this a news segment on restaurants close and great i dont know if you had a chance to i have noticed a lot of this coverage on Small Businesses closing in the city is pretty onesided. I think they tend to focus on greedy landlords and the scorch of millennials who have changed their habits that are destroying our businesses. I dont think that coverage is fair. I think it might sell ads, but i dont think it is actually fair. I dont think we need to face the role that this building has on our government having the situation for Small Businesses right now. I have been chicken little. Ive been going to a ton of hearings and screaming. Im like little at the end, when the sky is actually falling but nobody believes him. For so many years, Small Business people have been, you know, frustrated and continuous complaining. As i was
Do work and amend big contracts. They wanted handsoff work underway which is why its about contract award, not amendments to the contract. The board will have another opportunity to look at how the policy is working shoe you shouf prove this. I understand it doesnt apply and im not saying that it does, im just saying that the commissioner, youll struggling a little bit because this is before under the circumstances, to issue before us. And while a company may have good intentions, thats flocking the whole point in the first place. That begs the question, what is jacobs policies . So im a lesbian and so this is an issue that is near and dear to my heart. So you looked at their policies and it is jacobs policies, not ch. This is a jacobs firm policy. The benefit and treatment of lesbian and gay policies was good, as well as the network and connections, but thats been the state of affairs for some time.

I didnt find that in the staff report and i actually, on a side note, just think when issues come up to possibly flag them earlier on in the report, also, would be helpful, because im concerned that my concern is that we are setting a precedent that sends a signal to the companies that if they have subsidiaries in other parts of the country, that we will turn a blind eye to the right essence of why San Francisco does this.
