October of 2007 as it has been reported the federal government had issued and fairly threatens letters to Property Owners that ultimately resulted in the closure of the storefront activities of this mcd location. On november 11th of 2011. And we could sympathize and what led to the closure of the use and it has been noted, that the use continued on, and some what, haphazard until may of 2012, when the lease terminated and after that time and during 2012 rntion did he work with the staff on kind of what could result here in terms of reopening at this location, also and helping to look at other locations, with it today and to know that you recounted that he worked extensively and had a good working relationship and did work with him, about the process to reopen, and thinking that it was, you know, there was some comments and discussions about reopening that it was seemed imminent and at that time in 2012, you know, you have been, through perhaps, early 2013, that they could have reopened
Taken away the permit without informing us at least or they could have offered the discorrection. And at least they are extending the closure period and as a matter of fact, the department of Public Health can offer this concessions or considerations for dispensaries such as a lower permit fee, and the possible reopening during the permit process, which you would need for the new and for the new location. So i am asking for your discretion it will not make a difference but we will not be able to move back in because the building was sold.

Introduce new business, supervisor avalos. Thank you madam clerk. A couple of items for introduction today. One is a request for the City Attorney to draft legislation that would set us in motion to create a Municipal Development corporation. As you all know i have been working for a number of years on the creation of a public bank, a Municipal Bank for the city and county of San Francisco. The public bank could eventually take over the citys banking functions that are currently performed by bank of america and wells fargo and issue forms of debt and refinance the citys general obligation bonds. The goal of the bank is maximize the citys Financial Resources and minimize the amount the city pays out in interest and fees to wall street firms. It is clear that we have a huge unfunded needs in a number of areas such as Affordable Housing, transportation infrastructure, and Renewable Power to name a few. Its my hope that a public bank will help fill the funding gaps. While the City Attorney
