supervisor chiu: supervisor avalos avalos? supervisor avalos: thank you president. this is all about the expense side. it is all about recovering the costs on the expense side. by measuring what the expense is with our nexus study and applying that fee to the cost of the city. it is all about the expense side. this mesh before us is not about anything else other than just doing that. we have had a whole bug process that lasted months looking at how we can effectively close out our deficit by a combination of things, including for the most part cuts of city services, layoffs, people who are retiring, not getting hired back, give-backs of labor. so there is a significant amount of work that is being done on the expense side of government. this is just one related item that is related to the expense item that we are trying to get cost recovery for. i hope that we can have a majority vote to support this measure. i do believe that when we are providing services that help people to get off the streets, get people into treatment, that has a benefit for the general populat

thank you, supervisor avalos. chair avalos: thank you. are there any other members of the public who would like to comment? seeing none, we will close public comment. i do want to thank people on both and all sides who have spoken here today. for your comments, and this is not being rushed forward to a vote next tuesday. as i said earlier today, we will be voting on this out of committee on monday, and the full board will be voting on it on november 7. there is one month of time between, and that timeline is still one that seeks to have this legislation enacted. before november 2. -- passed by the voters of california. so this legislation today will be forwarded to another committee meeting on monday at 11:00. and, madam clerk, can we put a motion to get there? supervisor elsbernd. and, madam clerk, that is the last item we have on the agenda, so we are adjourned. thank you for your support. >> in this fabulously beautiful persidio national park and near golden gate and running like a scar is this ugly highway. that was built in 1936 at t

supervisor avalos: thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. i am part of a nonprofit trade association of venue owners, industry professionals, artists, and culture in our community. i operate and down with my wife a couple of small bars and nightclubs in the city. i am here today to respectfully speak against the proposed of faulty. san francisco is an experiential city, many come here to experience the legacy of fine food and drink, fascinating people, exciting food and entertainment. this is called our culture. that culture is the engine that drives the industry. the proposed of golf he might be noble in purpose, but it will be incredibly problematic. the equally, if not important phase -- more important phase, we emphasize that the city needs money but we look beyond the fact that the hospitality and -- entertainment industry has been taxed to the breaking point. we are left with no choice but to decide whether or not to increase prices, turning away customers, or reduce our thin margins. the impact will be most acutely felt by local enter

supervisor avalos: supervisor elsbernd. supervisor elsbernd: following up on the economic impact on jobs and the public sector job growth, i almost wonder if your section of the comptroller's office and the other section of the comptroller's office might want to communicate a little bit in that respectively over the next few years it would be a mistake to say that the budget will grow. looking ahead we know that we have a budget deficit. to say that new jobs will be created, would not be more accurate to say that we will retain jobs? instead of getting new jobs? >> you are absolutely right on that point. i do not want to give representation that this represents a gross of the public sector. these are jobs that will not be lost just because the city revenue is growing by $15 million in the context of the revenue loss experience. supervisor elsbernd: potentially there is retention of public- sector jobs but a net loss of private sector jobs. >> yes. supervisor elsbernd: what this represents to us is the exchange of a loss of
