Otherwise stated. Super safai i think that supervisor safai i think that item number one is going to be continued. So actually why dont we take item number two, please. Clerk yp two, ordinance of money to require parties to pay a refundable deposit when requesting written findings when the assessment appeals board has established procedures concerning the waiver and renewal of requests for written findings. Unless theres any comments from my colleague here why dont we hear from supervisor peskins and aide lee hel heppner. The proposed legislation before you today is an amendment to chapter 2b of the administrative code with policies and procedures for requesting findings of the assessment appeals board prior to an assessment hearing. As i understand it and this was sort of urged to our office at the request of the assessment appeals board, these amendments codify the policies and the procedures that have been developed by the assessment appeals board with the cooperation of the assesso
Should happen to the fees. I dont know if we can say that. Im concerned about that. I guess you could express your desire and emotion, but its not going to be legally binding on the appeals or the department. So would we uphold the existing fee or remain silent on it . I think you have to impose the assessment of costs. Or you could reduce it, if you wanted to. We can reduce it, but we have to assign the fees. Okay. I dont think we can again, i think we can say what our desire is or we can say in Public Comment what our hope to the resolution is, but it needs to be binding. To the chair, this is throwing the baby out with the bath water, but if we reduce the fees now with the notion that were being proactive in having these others come together, well take that risk that everybody is going to come to a conclusive decision.

My last request is that please do not overregulate cannibis. This is a new industry, we it needs to be managed but it also needs to be managed in a responsible way and overregulation will damage it and could kill it. Thank you so much. Good afternoon supervisors. Excuse me. My name is greg goodbetter. Im cochair of the rose kenya group, a small group of patients that share medicine and activities here in the city. I am also sit on the chair of the board of the Mental Health here in San Francisco. I think i have a good solution to the cry for smoking lounges and it would be a great idea for all of our community to be able to turn around and heal together. A Community Center in this city is desperately needed where all of us, all different ethnic groups and parts of the medical cannibis community can come together for events and just have Harm Reduction groups and things like that. These lounges are great idea but thats just what they are, lounges. Medical cannibis patients need healing
You can continue it to another meeting. At least one more. Okay. Commissioner walker . The planning process reviews all of this, right . Yes. So they can take the whole so if we hold it in advance for 60 days, they file a permit, then they have to pay the fee, correct . I think they have to pay the fee to get the permit. To get the permit. To get the permit . To receive it . Or to start the application . Well collect the fees at issuance. It could be at the planning department. Commissioner mccarthy . Im kind of putting myself in the Property Owners shoes here. Theyve got to make some hard choices here. Im just kind of offering an olive branch here saying, please, make the right choice here, and, by the way, we have the autonomy to do that. Hes here asking for a fee reduction. I think thats good. Were doing it on that context. I dont think we can reverse that decision afterwards. I think we make a decision, as a commission, to try to incentivize. I think that was the word used. I think
That is in a binder, but we have had some, its difficult to, you are getting something for free, which we are, getting for free, the publication, subject to delays. A little frustrating but we are getting it done pro bono, so you will have, in a book form, a bound copy that we intend to distribute to every unit or company within a station.

Format, so it can be copied. Its meant to be shared. Wonderful, thank you. Thank you, commissioner hardeman. Madam secretary, would you call the next item.
