Alderman Clemons.
Alderman Clemons

Thank you. And | hope that you can afford me a little bit of leeway here because the question that | am
going to ask is actually geared to Director Cummings or Corporation Counsel and it may not seem
germane, but | will get to that. So my question is, is there currently an Ordinance or rule that prohibits
umbrellas with advertising downtown?

President Wilshire
Director Cummings?

Alderwoman Kelly

So for example if | am at San Francisco Kitchen and there’s no space, | happened to be there recently,
there’s no space between me and the street because there’s a flower box. | don’t get to expand my patio
or | can expand it out onto the street.

Tim Cummings, Director of Economic Development

You’d be able to expand it out into the street under this proposed Ordinance.

Alderwoman Kelly

Ok, ok.

Attorney Bolton

Alderwoman Kelly

Yes, thank you. | know that there have been a number of calls and there has been a lot of good work on
this. | just had a couple of questions from a standpoint of how this will all work. | was actually downtown
looking at how many are out there. Are we going to allow them to expand on the sidewalk and then have
the road be where pedestrians walk? Is that how we are doing it?

President Wilshire

| am going to ask Tim Cummings to address that question. Tim are you there?
