We continued this item from last week, pending more demographic information about who are actually providing the Security Services. And so today we have with us again elizabeth and thank you for joining us, from the Human Service agency. Did we have a b. L. A. Report last week . Im sorry, youre on mute. Yes, sorry madame chair yes, they provided a report. Supervisor walton, i think this is an item you requested for the department to come back with demographic information. Would you like to ask our speakers today about that information . Supervisor walton correct. Thank you so much, chair fewer. Just my first question, did you prepare to report on the questions we had. Maybe they have something they want to share with us. Supervisor fewer sure. Well, we prepared the memo which has all the demographic information, so were here to answer any questions about that. Supervisor walton why dont you just supervisor fewer yes, is there a power point . Supervisor walton, would you like them to put the demographic information up on the screen . Supervisor walton they dont necessarily have to put it on the screen, but i would love to hear the numbers for the record so folks know where we stand. Enid, can you present that information . Youre on mute. Thank you. Yes, let me bring that up right now. In regards to the demographic information, the contract with allied universal Security Services out of 200 security guards employed through the contract, a total of 53 guards are residents of San Francisco. Gender breakdown is 19 male, 34 female and the ethnic break down as part of that service, were transitioning to other security contracts with four different providers. And with those, weve seen an increase in the amount of San Francisco residents. So a total of the transitions, there was about 242 guards. And 104 are San Francisco residents. So that would be around 43 as compared to 27 , so by transitioning were increasing these. Supervisor fewer thats good to know. Supervisor walton, any comments . Supervisor walton it is good to know were increasing percentages through transitioning. My last question is, in terms of plans for the future contracts or even working with allied security, are we asking them to provide an update and some kind of plan that theyll put in place to make sure they do everything they can to provide employment to San Francisco residents. Yes, we will make sure were engaging them with the hiring program which will help them get more San Francisco residents as guards. Supervisor walton thank you. I appreciate the response. And thank you for getting the demographic data. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Public comment, please. Yes, madame chair. Operations, check to see if there are callers in the queue.

Wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Today, we have, of course, a sponsor and speaker today, supervisor mandelman. We have the lovely lee hepner from supervisor peskins office and public works. I think that mr. Hepner, supervisor mandelman, do you have opening comments . I think mr. Hepner has amendments also, is that correct . He does. I will just briefly say express my thanks to the lovely lee hefner for all of his work and his office work on this item. Prior to the pandemic, supervisor peskin had been leading the conversation around relief that could be provided around various fees paid by Small Businesses. In particular, his office and i and my office have been interested in the fees that are paid for use of sidewalk for things like table and chairs. And since the pandemic began, and since we have been for allowing our Small Businesses to move out into the rightofway, as a lifeline to help them survive this unprecedented challenging time, provide relief all the more important. I believe that supervisor peskin also wanted to start a conversation about a thing we must do is thinking about how to extend this beyond the end of the year. Because right now the only certainty the Small Businesses have are theyre going 0 tb able going to be able to use the shared Spaces Program through december and there is a general intention that get extended. So supervisor peskin and the lovely mr. Hepner wanted to start that conversation and have and it sounds like that conversation is a little more time. But im grateful to them for getting it going. With that, i turn it over to mr. Hepner to talk about the legislation. Supervisor fewer yes, the floor is yours. Thank you so much, chair fewer and Committee Members on this wednesday morning for hearing this legislation. Supervisor mandelman really said all of it and i want to thank him and his staff, my colleague, jacob, for working with me on this legislation. I do have amendments to move this morning. Before i do that, i wanted to add we started this fee relief project in august of last year when we sent a letter of inquiry to every City Department asking them for fees assessed against Small Businesses throughout the city and through that process, we were trying to identify fees that are that provide relatively low revenue to the city, but great value to the Small Businesses who can avail themselves of these permits. Tables, chair, display merchandise, parklets were right up there as one of the benefits that Small Businesses can enjoy, but for which the barrier to entry is thousands of dollars and arduous process. Shared spaces has demonstrated how we can do this a different way and how we can reallocate the time, going out and doing inspections. We can transfer that time to the back end to make sure that people are complying with their permit conditions. And enforcing those permit conditions. So that process is ongoing. I want to thank the doesnt of public works for working with us. We will continue to work with them to make sure they can make the appropriate changes to their application process to accommodate the fees that are being waived and hopefully, again, working with the Lessons Learned from the shared Spaces Program to make sure that the reliability and the permanent nancy of some of these changes is there for the businesses benefitting from them. I have amendments i circulated to the Committee Members. They are very minor. On page 1, removing the period and more substantively on page 2, were back dating the waiver or rather this is the expiration of the fee waiver is april 15, 2022 and its now back dated to april 15, which is requested on page 3 of the legislation to give a full twoyear fee waiver here. Well see where were at in the expiration of those two years. If we want to extend it further, we can. I would request that the committee make those amendments this morning and forward it to the full board with recommendations. Supervisor fewer could we hear from the b. L. A. . Good morning, chair fewer, members of the committee. Yes, as mr. Hepner stated, the proposed resolution waived fees for sidewalk cafes, tables and parklets. These are renewal fees specifically. Retroactive to april of this year, extended through april of 2022. We actually wrote a report based on the legislature, or the amendments that were discussed in this meeting. On page 11 of the report, we summarized the fees waived and on page 12, we look at the estimated reduction. Fiscal year 1819, the initial permit and renewal fees, the income was approximately 665,000. Our estimated in the revenue reductions from the fee waiver would be quite a bit less than that because it would just cover renewal fees, but we dont have a specific estimate. And we consider approval because its waiving provisions that is a policy matter for the board. Supervisor fewer any questions or comments . Could i ask mr. Spitz a question, please . Mr. Spitz, are you there . Hi. Hi, good morning. Supervisor fewer good morning. I just wanted to know, is your permitting, i was under the impression that your permit department is actually costneutral. Is that correct or am i wrong in assuming that . So, were actually doing a study on that right now. Our fees are meant to be Cost Recovery fees, but i think that we are operating at a subsidy right now. I dont think theyre fully Cost Recovery based on the preliminary results of the work were looking at. So i think we are with the current fees, were currently spending more in staff time than receiving in fees, so this would just be more funding from the general fund that we would need to supplement our work to review the permits. Supervisor fewer got it. Mr. Hepner, did you want i see your hand up. Yeah, i was going to say and at risk of arguing against myself or this legislation, just for the sake of transparency, i think what the budget and legislative analyst presented was based on revisions that were not making this morning. Were passing the legislation more or less as they introduce with the provided dates, so there were other numbers in the report that was before the Committee Last wednesday that i think are more pertain to this, including the waiver for the application fees. Supervisor fewer okay. So from the b. L. A. , could you give us the number from last week, please . Yes, i apologize. We were working off a version we were provided at the time we submitted our report, but the amount we said last week was fiscal year 1819, the initial permit and renewal fee of 665,000 per year. So the assumption would be that if these fees were waived, it would be approximately that amount in each year of the ordinance. Supervisor fewer okay. Great. So, mr. Spitz, what youre saying to me, you, right now, it is not cost neutral, the money that you get from your youre actually subsidizing some of that for your department, its costing more for your department. And this would be added onto the cost because youve been minusing the 665,000 a year annual fee that actually goes toward the expenses of permitting, is that correct . That is correct. Yes. And i would also yeah, we we are discussing with supervisor peskins office and mandelmans office ways to reduce the staff time required to review the permits. Our hope was that the fee waiver would be in conjunction with those changes to the code that would allow us to spend less time reviewing the permit. And there is Public Comment and appeal process that is involved in these permits. So it can be pretty staffintensive. Theyve committed to working with us to make those changes to the code to spend less time on them, so we hope that work gets done as soon as possible. Supervisor fewer good to hear theyre committed to working with you. Supervisor mandelman im happy to recommit here in public, in front of everyone, to working with public works and supervisor peskin on this and to find ways to make the processing of these applications less time intensive. I do think, you know, this is one case where it may be worthy thinking about the revenue generated. Yes, this is going to be a drain in terms of a modest drain, several hundreds of thousands of dollars, on the other hand, Small Businesses, if theyre able to survive and thrive, which is very much of a question mark right now, do generate money for our general fund as well in other ways. There is money that may be coming into our general fund for our having allowed some of these businesses to survive. Supervisor fewer its not your commitment i was concerned about. Just kidding. Lovely lee hepner. So any other comment or questions from my colleagues . Seeing none, lets open up for Public Comment. Yes, madame chair. Operation is checking to see if there are callers in the queue. Operations, please let us know if there are callers. If you have not done so, please press star 3 to be added to the queue.

Public comment on item 2 is closed. Supervisor mandelman, would you like to make the motion to accept the amendments and make a motion about sending this to the board . Supervisor mandelman im happy to make those motions. First, i will move that we accept the amendments. On the motion supervisor walton . Supervisor walton aye. Supervisor mandelman aye. Supervisor fewer aye. Your ayes are three ayes. Supervisor mandelman and then ill move that we forward this item to the full board with positive recommendations. As amended.

Percentage structure or minimum annual guarantee of 22,000 220,000. If that occurs, books inc. Would pay percentage rent which may be lower than the mag. The budget analyst has reviewed this bookstore lease and recommends approval, but im happy to answer any questions you may have. Supervisor fewer thank you. Can we hear from the b. L. A. , please . Yes, chair, members of the committee, repetition of what was just presented. Board is asked to approve a 10year lease with a minimum annual guarantee of 220,000 a year, or 2. 2 million over the 10 years of the lease, however, as also consistent with the airport policy, because of the reduction in deployment, it would be suspended in the beginning of the lease, receiving a rent that is lower than the mag.
