Commissioner riley i agree with one of the speakers we should recommend to combine those two protections into one. Okay commissioner ortizcartagena. Thank you, everybody for coming and speaking and the spirit and the intentions im obviously supportive and understand the benefits to the workforce i have questions on the first ordinance as the commissioner riley had also i too would rather wait until the formula retail is defined and maybe get more input from Small Businesses your commission to protect Small Businesses and the intent and spirit of the ordinance i know it will help our community i want to share theres no unintended bad things to happen to Small Businesses as a result of this.
