Enactment #:
Title:
Pursuant to Charter, Sections 2.103 and 3.100(7), and Administrative Code, Section 2.11, the Mayor
shall answer the following eligible question submitted from the Supervisor representing District 10.
The Mayor may address the Board initially for up to five minutes. Discussion shall not exceed five
minutes per Supervisor.
1. Mr. Mayor - We have both repeatedly discussed our mutual desires to support and increase the
number of community serving businesses along the Third Street merchant corridor. We have also
worked extensively together with your Office of Economic and Workforce Development to support
existing businesses, attract new businesses, and to fund physical and tenant improvements all in an
effort to increase foot traffic and better serve the surrounding community. However, in recent months
several non-profit organizations and City agencies including the H?uman Services Agency (HSA)?
have been looking for office space on the merchant corridor. While these organizations provide key
services to District 10 residents they are competing for the same spaces that are needed for new
businesses. We have identified office space surrounding the merchant corridor where these services
can expand and continue to serve District 10 residents. We have also proposed ways that these non-
profits and City agencies might partner together to leverage their collective resources to lease or buy
new space. Given that we have room for both new businesses and expanding City departments in the
Bayview do you support efforts to prioritize Third Street storefronts for commercial businesses? What
is your position on where various City agencies should locate in the Bayview including HSA?
(Supervisor Cohen, District 10)
