But to say that it is going to make San Francisco more attractive is a read herring, we are an attractive place to be and we are moving it every day and our economy improves daily and people want to come here and Companies Want to locate here and the employees are demanding that they want to be in the city now and not in the suburbs at least some of the young ones and i think that the flights of the suburbs is a natural flight and sometimes, it is a temporary one for raising children and people want to have a yard where they can have the kids who want to run around and have a fence and want to live in the apartments and that is typically not a characteristic of housing in the city. It is just not. It is vertical and not horizontal and i think that some of those things just are natural. It is not about whether we are friendly or hostile. It is about we are different. And we are different at different phases of life. And so, i just dont feel that passing a law to assert something that we
Should be addressed and i will take that into account and consider it seriously. Commissioner dwight. That i think we all appreciate the spirit of your proposal. I dont know that anyone here as questioned the spirit or questioned the economic and human tar an incentives for accommodating employees not only in Flexible Work schedules but in the myriad of other benefits that frankly have been pioneered in this area. Whether it be flexible schedules or bring your dog to work or having gourmet food to work or whatever it might be. There are benefits and they vary by company as competitive tools to try to attract the young employees and families and employees as old as i am. But, i find it difficult to get my head around passing a law to validate something that we already do. Because i think that laws beget all sorts of unintended consequences i think that it sets a precedent for just creating more laws, laws upon laws, and laws, in our society have a down side, as well as an upside. And we
And qualified by saying, you know, most of the people are gooded people, we like to just cotify this and just put something on the ballot. And i am kind of saying that it is a moderate proposal and not convinced that this is moderate and i know as a person who runs a Small Business, every time that i have to deal with an issue, it burns up band width on my day to when i work to go to work and go home, it is not going to be light or moderate, i think that it is going to be serious. It is very hard to make it happen any other way. And i want to work with people that are, you know, i want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem, but i am kind of with my fellow commissioner dwight here, and i dont know, we like to, and we never like to throw something out and throw it back at somebody and say forget it. We never like to and we try to get everybody to come in on unumbrella and we work really hard, we are almost like a jury and we try to get everybody behind something, and we
Do we need to take a vote on that . I wanted to speak to the motion the second motion. Would you like to take the first motion . Yes. Take a vote on the first motion to reiterate, do not approve as presently drafted and request a number of changes, staff will compile the key recommended amendments and appropriate into the official response, seconded by dooley. And on that motion, adams . Aye. Dooley . Aye. Dwight. Aye. Osama obrien. Aye. Ortiz. Aye. Ortizcartagena. I would like to ask a motion that we will ask president chiu to forward this through the legislative process as opposed to a ballot initiative. I second. Roll call . Repeat the roll call . I have a motion by commissioner obrien to consider forwarding the request that the supervisor consider forwarding this to the legislative process verses the ballot measure, and that was seconded by commissioner dwight. On that motion, adams . Yes. Dooley . Yes. Dwight. Yes. Obrien. Yes. Ortizcartagena. Yes. White. Yes. White. Yee riley. Ye
Prefer that this the ordinance would be done, that it is preference is that it would be done through the legislative process as opposed to the ballot. So you dont have to have just one motion, that accompanies everything, you can have multiple motions that combine different components. That i think is good because i think that we are dealing right now with you know, supervisor chiu, may go ahead and put this on the ballot. So i think that we need to at least weigh in ourselves the Business Community on the amendments. If that is going to be the case. I think that we need to put them down, and have the staff put that together. And we could also recommend that we prefer a legislative approach. Commissioner dwight . I am fine with having two different motions, that is part of the fine countrys process. And so i will restate my first motion and i will let someone else make the second motion. My motion is that we do not approve the legislation as written, that we submit to the supervisors o
