Have been out, i have been hear more about mobile retailers. I saw something on tv and it wasnt in San Francisco, but its in other cities and my gut feeling was a few years ago when mobile food trucks came out, oh, that wont affect us here, but guess what, that is affecting us here. You are starting to see them pop up. There was the rubber person selling the rubber stuffer out the truck and they vanished and i havent seen them around. I have seen a small truck with clothes in the commission and im okay, its going to start to happen. If we could take about that at one of the meetings because that is going to happen sooner or later. I have seen Womens Clothing trucks at levi plaza. So yes, commissioners, that is starting to be a standing agenda with the policy committee, but we have beening to doing work and staff member Christin Murdock is staffing the work on this and well proficient you with a more detailed update at the general meeting. X any other items . Next item. Item 15, adjourn
Are big sports sponsors in the city. And the reflected by the toy train that you see on the side. You will see the caboose, led by golden state warriors. Followed by the 49ers. [ applause ] and then twotime world series champions, San Francisco giants. [ applause ] they give us all of this inspiration and i know that we are looking at some of future players on these teams right here in front of us. So thank you everybody. If i may, during these happy times, when we are thankful for the things that we have and giving thanks for it, please remember the victims that continue to suffer on the east coast. And they are having a hard time it is very cold over there do anything that you can to help them. There are fellow citizens, they all wish that they could be here tonight. I am absolutely sure of that because everything is working pretty well in San Francisco thanks to people like phil and all of the people that work hard especially the parents and the Parks Alliance and all of you neighbo
The goal. And to have education, to have free access assessment being done. And then to followup by those that are challenged economically, to have loans and to have grants that are made available to have all of them participate in this program is incredibly good for the city. And i think it will help many of the Small Businesses understand their obligations to respond to these better, but also help them get into compliance better. So, im glad to launch this program here on irving street with supervisor chu who has been a really big champion for this. But we have many members of our Business Community that have also been asking us to do something positive about this. And not let these Small Businesses become victimized in these driveby lawsuits. To do what we can to make it a positive thing. So, im so glad that joaquin has come aboard to help us. He, having headed up the Neighborhood Services program for years, now has his talent with todd in making sure that all of the Small Businesse
What the state and federal government does. On the local level, i would love for us to figure out what we can do, because this is the heart of San Francisco. As i said before, they provide 70 of the jobs here. Most people do not realize that. Small businesses are what provides jobs here. They provided locally and the hon not going to go, they are not going to offshore their jobs any time. I think were in a very difficult city. We have tons of permits, tons of different apartments to go through. I wish there were a way to streamline the process, just to make it easier for them to be here in San Francisco. What are your thoughts about expanding the tax breaks, giving business to other areas in your district . I talked a little bit earlier about raising taxes and raising revenues and fees, and for me, the Tax Exemption is something i do not philosophically supports. Yet, i often represent part of San Francisco that has been neglected for decades, and that is the midmarket corridor. We hav
Lending loan programs that are available to these businesses so they can make the corrections in an affordable way. This is our citys attempt, it is fully supported by the board of supervisors, and this program i think now has its ability to be launched and have really meet these access challenges in a positive way. So, were not just avoiding lawsuits. I think we do want everybody business to be compliant, as they should be. But were caught up sometimes with businesses that change hands. People dont know whether or not theyre grandfathered in or whether or not how accessible it is to everybody. But we also know that there are many people who have disabilities that have also want to have access to the businesses all around these corridors and enjoy it as much as we do. So, i think full compliance is the goal. And to have education, to have free access assessment being done. And then to followup by those that are challenged economically, to have loans and to have grants that are made ava
