And remodeled supermarkets, a recommendation is that that discussion and plan will be triggered through the entitlement process. But for existing supermarkets where they are not going to go through the entitlement process, i think, at the committee meeting, as you had noted, there is the interest to start working with those supermarkets to start putting a plan in place. Does that make sense . Yes. Actually one of the difficulties with the hank situation, because its been unfolding over many years and i have been in touch with the whole foods and andronickos and they were never really motivated as [hropbgs ] as along as the center was there to do anything. They were glad not to have a recycling center on their parking lot, but they werent ready to go to meetings and space. Those issues just werent happening. I heard that commissioner obrien was a little uncomfortable mandating because there will be there might the recycling center at Market Street as the housing gets developed and right
Like for instance, at the california and hyde situation we didnt really know what was happening and it stalled and started up again. So the short answer is that we dont have a process in place for that. We activated one in this case. I think it would help if we had a process in place. That way on the other hand we need a recycling center and on the other hand we want to close them. There is a bit of schizophrenia there. The 100, who sets that limit is that state or city . That was set in the original law passed in the 1980s . Do we have any flexibility . No, im pretu sure that is established in statute, but it could be changed. I am thinking that instead of paying 100, we could base on the sales volume of the size of their business. Right. I think if you started to change it, that the oppositions would be quite broad. For instance the supermarket would pay a different rate than the beverage dealers, based on volume, Something Like that. Thank you. Do you want to take this to committee
Show up on their radar. Are there some that are operating and then decide not to operate . There are instance wheres the recycling center just gets closed usually because there is complaints from a neighbor or Something Like that. We actually did just hear on friday from next cycle which operates about nine of the centers in the city that they received word from safeway, that in the excelsior, at Mission Street was asked to close because they found it to be difficult. And actually this is at a very early stage and a lot of negotiations happen. Just because they say that, doesnt mean its going to happen, but its an example of a kind of unilateral decision on the store to attempt to do that. Right. Correct. I dont know where we want to place ourselves on that part of the issue, but i think its something that we should think about. So i think since were not really working to pass something out today. Right. I think what we can do is sort of take the intent of both commissioner dooley and
Do they require a conditional use . That is something that we could explore before the next Outreach Committee. That is good direction on the intent. Commissioner yee riley . I have a question. Now when we asked a recycling center to close, do we have any plan to meet the need of that community . I have been working with both with existing supermarkets, in discussions with them and with other basically its looking for land. Or looking for a parking lot or vacant space, in the case of the hank center, to try to find some locations for either a temporary or a mobile or a permanent site. This is the first situation like this that we have faced where we had sort of enough warning to get something going. Like for instance, at the california and hyde situation we didnt really know what was happening and it stalled and started up again. So the short answer is that we dont have a process in place for that. We activated one in this case. I think it would help if we had a process in place. That

I would like to read through them and we can go through them rear view relatively quickly and see if any other recommendations that might have.
