great job, regina, thank you. next item. >> commissioners item 7, discussion and action to approve the sbc's 2013 meeting calendar. that is in your binder under tab no. 7. the only change that was made since this was distributed to you at the previous meeting is that date for the retreat, we sent out four dates and based on your feedback and response, we were able to find that february 28th worked for commissioners. all other items are unchanged. we kept the consistency of the second and fourth mondays when possible in may due to small business week and memorial day, we had to change the meetings and columbus day and veteran's day that necessitated a change? >> when is mlk day? >> the 21st. >> okay. >> so this looks good to me. do we have a motion to approve it calendar? >> just for the record we should take public comment? >> yes, do we have public comment on the small business commission calendar for 2013? seeing none, public comment is closed. do we have a motion? >> i move. >> second. >> roll call. >> commissi

so, with the small business commission and regina is here today to be part of this effort, along with building inspection tom huey is here, public works as i mentioned earlier are here. all of the agencies working together with our supervisors and mayor's office have come together and put this program together and we want to announce and launch it today in front of martin lam's good will shop here because he's been a real great leader in helping many of the small businesses, and particularly those that don't speak english owned by proprietors that maybe english is not their first language. over the past couple years, supervisor chu and i have been talking about these drive-by lawsuits that have been occurring and how shocked some of these businesses are to the sometimes abusive process that are used by litigators to get at them. but in the context of overall our city's willingness to comply with a-d-a, with title 24 of the state, and our own access through our mayor's office of disability. we want everybody to comply. we don't want them to be victims of irrational and abusive lawsuits

we work with regina's shop to work with the community opportunity fund to set aside a million dollars to be directed towards improvement loans for small businesses to deal with a-d-a access issues. and i think this is sort of the next big step that the city is taking to make sure that we're supporting our small businesses in a very direct and hands on way. with this pilot, i am proud to announce that we have over $08,000 that will be going to this district to help with cast inspections. these are basically inspections of businesses to say what it is that you must do over a period of time to become compliant with a-d-a requirements and rules. and these are things that will really help our blitznesses weather any lawsuits and really plan to make sure their businesses are accessible to all san franciscans. so, today i'm very proud of that. we're going to see over 30 businesses be able to have a casp inspection. that is a very meaningful piece to be able to help them weather some lawsuits if they should come down the pipeline. in addition to that, we expect to see $70,000 in actual physic

thank you, regina. for those of you looking to contact these organizations, you can find their contact information in the program you should have picked up when you sign in. for those of you who are prospective entrepreneurs, if we could limit the acronyms and talk more about what those acronyms mean. >> sounds good. thanks, mark, virginia, and leader pelosi for putting on this event, and for all that she has done -- thanks mark, regina , and later pelosi. we have been able to access resources through the sba and the cdfi fund which helps get money to small businesses in this time of need. opportunity fund is not a bank or a government agency. we are an independent nonprofit organization with a mission to provide capital to working people to help them earn, say, and invest in the future. we focus primarily on businesses that are not yet bankable. most of our clients are themselves low or moderate income people or working in low or moderate income neighborhoods. but not exclusively. we will look at any b

the other thing i wanted to mention, which ties in very well with regina's report about christian murdock is that the north beach business association has requested and is going to be having a summit sponsored by supervisor chiu around the problems of the ada, of state, federal and city. members of the merchants association met last year with senator leno's office and senator feinstein's office and they are extremely enthusiastic about holding this summit, and trying to figure out some way to fill in those gaps. especially senator feinstein is very, very much interested in working at the federal level on this. so i'm really happy to see that we'll have more information when that comes about. we're just starting to figure out a time for that and i'm sure we will be participating in that session. and i think it's something that we all really will be excited to see if we can get something going within that. that is it for me. >> any other commissioner comments? >> next item. >> commissioners, item 16, public comment. >> do we have any members of the public who wish to make a comment? welcome
