At 4. 00, the burden of that additional cost to the individual that is coming from a low Income Community. The other is, while i may be very interested in sustainable practices, does not mean my coworkers are as well. I am concerned that while we are going to put a burden on the businesses to charge 25 cents, i am concerned there will be a counter act of not going after not compostables that are more expensive because they will be charging the people for them until they would just find a cheaper method of charging, because it is no longer seen as a positive thing that we are offering a compostable as an alternative. Thank you. Thank you. My name is moses. I am the ice cream business. I believe you all know that i volunteer. The only thing i have a problem is that, how can i tell the tourists to bring your own cup . It is ice cream. How are we going to give them a reusable cup . If we want to charge them 25 cents because it is a tourist area. This is a tourist trap. Trap. Trap. I dont t
Is not what i am picking up here. I expected actually to hear quite a bit more aggressive talk in opposition. Instead what i heard was a lot of willing to work with each other, trying to get to that spot. I would just caution you from going too far down that aggressive, sort of us versus them. It doesnt actually look to me like us versus them. We should probably try to foster more of that working together to make this as effective as possible. With all due respect, you should see my email inbox right now which is a lot of response. I think people want to ease into this. That is what im hearing from the other side. I agree with commissioner laguana. I did not hear the negativity. It is just the easing into it. Commissioner zouzounis, you know, said of the best and we have seen this with other legislation. That is the fema fee mitigation. I think if you ease into something, you know, let them get rid of whatever they have on hand. Also, with the composting. We all had to go into the comp
Stuff, i love going to my local places and they are all going away. I would like to come up with something that is a winwin on both sides. What that is . I dont know. Im trying to get feedback. I like what william said here, you know, maybe if there is something we can get back, or something you said, like low hanging fruit with fees. I will point to the ordinance that was presented, item number three was a recalculation of fees that brought fees down that makes a placket system easier to comply with. Lets not look at this as a stick, it also does not exist in a vacuum. We are at the fate of the restaurant hearing just two weeks ago. If there is an right now for carrots for Small Business, it is right now. I do not think that this ordinance is going to kill restaurants. Im sorry, i dont think so. I look at an email sent out by the California Restaurant Association that disparages this as a tax, which says this is making changes to the bussing requirement that its not making. It says we
Since that time. I was thinking about getting another rag and wiping it down. Disconnect. A couple of weeks ago when they were saying goodbye and getting booted away, i want to couple of drivers that i knew and i asked them what would happen, and they said, he wasnt part of the munimobile establishment, and what happened is he got disconnected from what was happening on the rail, it didnt go up to you. I agree with him. I think he fell on your sword. I believe what is happening to the cab company is they are being shafted, and that was the mayors office. Lets leave this alone. We have got people who can make a whole bunch of money on uber and other ridesharing companies. Let me see if i can remember the third one, i cant. I would like also, before we go, real locks simple wheel locks the only old buses have them. Many of the new ones dont, so, you know, for some of us, it is important. And thank you. Thank you very much. Any further Public Comment on item number 9 . Seeing none, we wil

Madam clerk. This item is a presentation from the refuse rates administrator to adopt an order memorializing the refuse rate boards approval of a code of conduct on june 12th, 2023. It is a discussion and action item. Thank you very much. Ill turn it over to j. But just so members of the public know, the refuse rate board already approved a code of conduct, this is simply housecleaning to make sure that were actually doing it in the form of, i believe, a resolution. So ill turn it over to j. As the chair said, this is a housekeeping item. The City Attorney advised that the
