But i do need to benefit from the aftermath of the war on drugs. Thank you. [applause] good morning, my name is rami. I am an equity applicant. The citys concern for this piece of clean up legislation is in vain until funds are dispersed from the Community Investment fund through the office of cannabis for the purposes of workforce development, commercial real estate, and investment funding. Thank you. Thank you. If there are any other members of the public that would like to speak, please line up so we can go one right after the other. Thank you. Next speaker. Good morning supervisorser terrance allen, served as your three year chair of the Cannabis Legalization Task force. Ive been taking time to build my own equity business in the castro. I come before you because there are three legs that youre hearing the Community Speak of. One is the need to release and invest in the equity programs that you all established so carefully. The second is one that i thought i would never stand in front of a public body and say, the need to begin the conversation about moving those that remain in the unregulated market into the regulated market. We have a very draconian policy that says if enforcement hears that youre in the unregulated market, then youre banned for 10 years. That draconian policy does not afford the opportunity of the cannabis, the office of cannabis to move people into the regulated market. We need to give them the power of coercion, suggestion, and the beginnings of enforcement for that to happen because those who have been waiting in line for the regulated market are running out of resources to do that and those who maintain 1 foot in the unregulated market seem to have an unlimited amount of money due to black market sales. So, with those two things, i urge you to move this forward and the third, the office of cannabis was never designed to handle 300 permit applications. We have to give them immediate resources to get this project moving, whether a City Department can give up those resources after they have them is a question for the future, but if we dont afford those resources now, this entire Program Continues to grind as opposed to ushering forward a new day for San Francisco and their equity members. Thank you very much. Thank you, any other member of the public wish to speak . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel] supervisor walton. Thank you. First of all before i make a motion, i do want to say that i share the same concerns about not allowing cooperatives, but in this case were bound by state law so were making a change and hopefully that changes in the future. This is definitely administrative to being in line with state law. I do have a quick question. Can i move to duplicate the file and amend a new file with the circulated amendment or do i have to do them one at a time . You can duplicate the file as a single supervisor, you dont need to make a motion to that. Just say i like to duplicate the file and then you can amend either one or the other. I like to duplicate the file and amend the new file with circulated amendments that strike the reference to the name change in the new file. Thank you. Oh, to amend. I wanted to make a couple comments. Thank you. I, i just wanted to i do think we have to make these amendments in order to comply with state law. I wanted to echo a lot of the concerns i heard from the public, particularly the Community Reinvestment fund, anxious to get that funded and distributed so that we can make equity real in this industry and right the wrongs of the failed drug war that has decimated so many communities. So i just, you know, i dont think we should stop these cosmetic well not cosmetic changes, but these changes to comply with state law, in order to get to the meaty work we need to do in order to have some reparations injustice in these communities, but i just wanted to make that comment that im anxious to get that work under way and its a huge priority as well. With that, i will second the motion to amendment the duplicated file and without objection that motion passes, and then the original or that duplicated file is the one then that we will send to the full board and im happy to make a motion to send that with positive recommendation. Without objection, that motion passes. [gavel] thank you very much. And the action on the original file . And the original file, if we could leave it in committee to the call of the chair, that would be great. That will be continued to the call of the chair. Thank you, we are very encouraged by your remarks over the Community Reinvestment fund and funding it because i think its very important and needed. Thank you. So. So much. Make sure i have this correct. The file has been duplicated. The original file has been continued to the call of the chair. The duplicated version has been amended, and referred as amended to the board. Yes, thats right. Thank you. Thank you so much. And if you could please call item number 7. Item number 7 is an ordinance amending the administrative code to affirm the county agricultural Commissioners Authority under state law to certify and inspect Farmers Markets and producers, and to enforce state law governing the direct marketing of Agricultural Products to consumers. Thank you, claudia, the director of the Real Estate Division. Before you is an ordinance amending the administrative code dealing with Farmers Markets, including the city owned and operated a main any flea and Farmers Market. Its the longest operating Farmers Market in california. Most are operated by nonprofits and receive public funds or private fundraisings efforts. The Real Estate Division, which took over responsible from the parcel and the operations of the mark over a decade ago increased fees because they have not been increased for over a decade and cover expenses for the operation of the site and the markets because it runs as a deficit. That would close the gap, but it wouldnt completely get rid of it. We did a survey of other markets in the area and for example, a heart of the city, which is in the u. N. Plaza, a nonprofitly run but received a lot of gifts and private funds charges 55 a stall per day. Thats more than what were proposing. We sent the proposed change in fees to the city attorney, who then under took and rewrote the entire sections because it hadnt been done in so long and there were things that needed to be cleaned up. It relasz places the agricultural commissioner. The agricultural commissioner is not a building or facility or Land Management person. It doesnt have the resources to operate and manage the facility in the markets. The Real Estate Division has been managing and operating the land for over a decade. It transfers responsibilities from the agricultural commissioner to the director of property to approve applications for permits to sell products at the city operated Farmers Market. It allows the director of permits or suspensions there of. It allow it is director property to impose fees and to appoint and form an Advisory Committee for the alamani Farmers Market and guidelines to rule the market. The heart of it is to increase the fees that an individual farmer and or flea market vendor would pay. Currently its 50 a day, just during the summer, we would like to raise it to 50 a day all year round. It wouldnt go down 10 during the winter months. If a farmer went everyday that the Farmers Market is open and its open every single day, every saturday of the year, they only closed once, that particularly farmer would pay an additional 240 a year in fees. The vendors, which are usually food trucks, would pay 85 a day, up from 60 a day, pretty much what theyre having to pay in other markets. Thats why we went to that. The fees for the flea market vendors would be 50 a day, which is just every sunday, up from 45. The revisions also increase the certification fees paid by the markets themselves. So the markets have to be certified. We are a certified Farmers Market. That certification is done by the agricultural commissioner under the department of Public Health. They are recommending that the Farmers Markets with less than 16 vendors stay at 500. Markets with 16 to 45 vendors go up to 1,000 per year from 500 and markets with over 45 vendors would be 1,500 a year, up from 500. The department of Public Health can wave the fee for city operated Farmers Markets. We would ask them to allow us to wave our fee. It also authorizes the agricultural commissioner to charge 113 per hour for inspections unrelated to the issuance modification or renewal of a Farmers Market renewial certification. And also fining the illegal use of the premises. There have been car shops and others that go on to the property because its a huge vacant space and actually set up businesses and try to run businesses on the market. We had to kick them out when there wasnt a law to do that, it was very difficult to have the police enforce it. We just asked them to do that. Were putting up gates, which we think will prevent anything from occurring in the illegal use of the site. The agricultural commissioner had to leave, he had another meeting. Im here if you have any general questions. Yes, im wondering what outreach you done to the farmers themselves. I know in the relative scheme of things, not the hugest increase, but it could be substantial. So there wasnt any formal. We dont have that committee anymore. It was years ago, i think it was when it first came over to the real estate commission. We had a committee which consisted of the various people that the mayor chose and farmers and the manager. People left, other people didnt want to do anymore and it was no longer in existence. Thats why were putting it back in the code so we can have it under the direct property. Both the manager on site and the manager, her supervisor walk the stalls every saturday, basically. So when we kind of did this, i think they did an informal test of it and they know who will be there during the winter and who isnt. Not all the vendors sell during the winter because they dont sell winter crops. They get other vendors that come in to do it. They didnt seem to be bothered and half of them felt they were paying that any way. They didnt know they were being charged less during the winter months. They didnt think it would be a very large issue. Supervisor walton. Thank you, just along those lines, why the additional 244 vendors that are there more frequent . It seems that you said vendors who are there more frequently well, thats just if a farmer went every saturday, the whole year round, that would be the additional cost. Most of them dont go all year round. You have summer ones and winter ones. Got it. Thank you very much. Really appreciate it. Thank you. We will open this item up for Public Comment. Feel free to come forward if you like to speak. Good morning, or good afternoon, i keep saying that. Good afternoon, my name is ashley. Im speaking on behalf of what this lady is just talking about. I lived my family lived at 376 bradford street since 1962. I was born i was raised right there at the alamanis Farmers Market. I feel this is overblown as far as the outrageous changes in the prices and the opportunities for people to have an opportunity to make some money down there or be involved in it. It looks kind of like shedding people, shedding vendors out and other vendors come in. I dont really know. I do believe that to do this, they do need some type of committee, some type of investigation to find out the difference in what is going and whats not happening there because it is something that really worked for the people that are there, all the people that come there on saturday is awesome. So, i dont know how the vendors i dont really know. I just happen to be here to hear this, but i live right there. I know about performance market. She also spoke about the sunday where they do the flea market there and my time is up, but a lot needs to be done in regards to the clean up, in regards to the stuff thats around there on sunday, if you would come by and see how that is. A lot more needs to be done and i dont know where, but ill see whats going on. Thank you. Thank you so much. Any other member of the public wishing to speak . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel] im going to comment because im the supervisor of the area where the Farmers Market is. In my conversations with folks at the markets, they seen increases for some time. I think it will be okay and its not going to dissuade people from selling at the market. I would also sorry, were not allowed to have a conversation. Im happy to talk to you after the Committee Meeting is over, but i also just wanted to let you know that this is a site in the district that i had my eye on forever. Its both an incredible blessing for the neighborhoods on the two days that its operating and can cause some issues on the five days that its empty. We are looking into the possibility of what we can do to activate that site all the time without ever disrupting the market because its such a historic and plays an Important Role in the neighborhood. To be continued, if you have a couple minutes to stay after. This is the last item. I would love to chat with you about it. Moving forward on this item, im happy to make a motion to send this forward with positive recommendation and it looks like theres no objection. Without objection, that motion passes. Mr. Clerk are there any other items on the agenda to . That completes the agenda for today. Then the meeting is adjourned. Thank you. [ ] tuesday, november 19, meeting of the San FranciscoEntertainment Commission. I am ben bleiman and i am the commissions president.

I wanted to provide a brief update about the Holiday Party that will be the next regularly scheduled Entertainment Commission evening, so that will be tuesday, december 3 at mezzanine this year. We are really looking forward to it. We have close to 700 rsvps right now but with attrition, that may be less so we encourage you to use your wonderful networks to continue to push the party invite out. It is free and open to the public and we want you to enjoy celebrating with all of us and just another year of entertainment in San Francisco. And also in our outreach for having our inspectors go out on the weekends with these flyers that are in your binder and going to businesses directly and letting management and bartenders and other staff know they are welcome and should come to this event. So we have a little Planning Committee in our office, and i really want to thank katelyn and dylan for helping prepare for the party. So were working on all of our food donations and other fun items for everybody for that evening. So again, looking very much forward to it and we are just nearing the end of the year, and its been such a great one working with all of you. That is my update. If you have any questions, let me know. Is there any Public Comment on the directors report . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. The next agenda item is report from our Deputy Director azevedo. Thank you, president bleiman, and good evening, commissioners. Thank you for that awesome shoutout. Its been an awesome and great first year, so i have enjoyed it very much. On the phone rsment report tonight on the enforcement report tonight, there is only a couple of things highlighted. On page one, royal soak a business that has a lot of complaints, but has not had Live Entertainment until two weekends ago when our inspector went by and they were having a live singer. So i have been working diligently to try and contact the owners. They are nonresponsive. And we are eager to try and get them a permit. Im also working in conjunction with sfpd northern station. It just so happens that every time the Police Department happens to go by, they dont have the sound up. So were working on it. Keeping them in our purview. Page two, you will see that i have highlighted delirium. Delirium has a vent in the back area where the d. J. Performs that is open. And all of the sound is escaping onto the street. So this has been like this for some time, but were thinking a new neighbor moved into the area because now were getting an uptick of complaints. So we have gone out and theyre in compliance otherwise. Its just the vent. Senior inspector roberts has made recommendations on how to amend the situation because it needs to be closed. So letting you know that we have a solution or at least have provided recommendations here. And then taking you to the last page, it is not highlighted excuse me, not the last page. On page four, it is not highlighted, but i do have an update about 26 mix. This business has been on our enforcement report since may consistently. And weve responded on the weekends. Theyre in compliance, but i really want mission station to go out during the week because the complaints are coming in during business nights, work nights. I finally had headway and corresponded with captain there and i also spoke with the new permit officer today, officer ortiz who had me compile all of our 311 complaints. We have receive 2d 1 from the same neighbor since may. And again, every time we go out, they are in compliance. So we really need sfpd mission station to go out during the work week, and hes working on that with the night lieutenant to make that happen. Im happy about the progress there. Thats it. If you have any questions, let me know. Can i just make sure i got that right . All the 311 calls are from one person. Yes. Okay. That should be we should be capable of fixing that then. When i say we i mean either department or us. I would agree with that. What the complaints are coming in sunday through wednesday when we dont have phone rsment out in the fields. Exactly. When we dont have enforcement in the field. We clearly have a frustrated neighbor. I have been in correspondence with her. Is she cooperative . Absolutely, with me. She is just really irritated at 2 00 in the morning. So i have been in correspondence via email with her few months and in some of the 311 complaints it says thank you, Entertainment Commission, but we just need eyes on there when we are not in the field. I should have made that clear. Thanks for with 311, noise complaints, do they ever get routed to the police . When our inspectors reallocate them, they do. Weve also trained 311 staff on figuring out what noise complaints or sound complaints as i prefer to call them should come to us versus the Police Department and sometimes we get residential sound complaints, for example, but a like in this scenario, out of curiosity, is this being dispatched to the police as a c priority run or not even looped in . No, its coming to us. And the complainant knows they can reach out to nonemergency and mission station and she has done that repetitively with no response. Are they putting that as a c priority run . I dont know. Not that we know of just because she hasnt seen any changes and she hasnt seen any police go out, am i right . Correct. However, i did have some information unveiled with the permit officer in Police Incident reports that we have not been made aware of, so i am working on those because one as as recent as the 16th of november. And we have never seen a copy of that. Okay. Im just thinking that possibly part of the fix might be because with the development of 311 as excellent as it is and it really is, and we have all probably used it for a variety of issues, im just wondering if there is an unintended consequence here that maybe should be thought about because this is a perfect scenario. We have a resident that has called 20 times, and i understand our staff is not working. And its not being communicated to the police, and honestly, telling people to call district station, the police arent even allowed to dispatch out of a station. We are not allowed to do that. Okay. 0123 which is the nonemergency is our dispatch. So if she is calling that number and she is requesting a unit response, well, just to wrap this up, my suggestion if you talk to her again or email her is to call the nonemergency next time this happens. Request a unit respond and have her ask for the cab number, cad. For the call. And then we can at least backtrack it after the fact and see the exact outcome. Okay, great. Thank you. And with the situation with 311, two points. One is that we are coming up and working with 311 to come up with different filters because right now things like buskers and residential is all coming to us because its just sound. So it needs to be piecemealed out into the appropriate party. And then secondarily, this is entertainment, and so it is correctly coming to us, but it just so happens that were not in the field. I agree except that were not staffed. This woman does deserve a response. I will get this information to her tomorrow. You got it. And then by chance, are dog complaints coming to you, too . Say it again is this dog complaints, are those coming like barking dogs . No. No. Very good. I wasnt sure when you said you are getting noise complaints. No dogs. That is awesome. Thanks. And speaking of residential, i notice there is a whole bunch of complaints that seem to be somewhere around delores and 17th or something. But it sounded like theyre all residential, not permitted and then use. No. And found things quiet. Correct. And two weekends ago there was a similar situation where it was a d. J. , but it was on the roof of a home. And it was really loud and there were people in the street. But it was very much residential. And so our inspector called the Nonemergency Police and requested a police car come out. He stuck around for about 30 minutes, but they didnt come by. So in this case he didnt see the d. J. Playing, but it sounds like someone had a house party. And just one other suggestion to note, it is also if you are getting involved with this and encourage them to reach out to the fire marshal if they are on rooftops. Fire will shut that down. We cant. But fire can and will. Take notes, listening audience. I have a question. Why are we i mean, i understand we have the inspectors, but it seems like were getting them all now. Is that something that the department has just decided that were going to be the screening out . Getting all of the sound complaints . Whether its i think its rooftop, residential. And theres some distinction. It is actually 311 has gotten a lot better over time, and it is really an annual training and to our contact at 311 to make sure all their staff who essentially is dispatch for those nonemergency complaints knows how to allocate them. And so we just need to get back on the education game with this. Because sometimes they are better than others. And they have our map of permitted venn use and they have the master calendar of events and they have the tools to be able to respond properly and allocate to the right agency, but probably just need another training from us. A caller isnt necessarily going to know if it is coming from a residential party or a permitted venue. I just wondering if there is another way to seems like were bogged down with the other thing is that you dont have to be a caller to be a 311 complainant. You can submit online. In the app. That is the other reason why often times well get these complaints and theyre not anything that we have jurisdiction over and we have to reallocate and unfortunately, since we are reallocating not right away, those could potentially go unanswered unless someone figured out they need to call nonemergency. I know what were getting into the weeds here a little bit, but so everyone knows with the 311 app, they can actually submit photos. And that might be helpful for our inspectors since if they are coming to you, if they did take photos, giver something with the inspectors to followup with. Just a thought. Okay. All right. Thank you very much. Is there any Public Comment on the Deputy Directors report . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And our next item agenda, sorry, is number 5, hearing possible action regarding applications for permits under the jurisdiction of the Entertainment Commission. I will ask the Deputy Director to introduce the consent cal der. We have two permits on tonights Consent Agenda. Both are for limited Live Performance permits, accessory use. They both had tons of support. No opposition. And neither had Police District conditions. Happy to answer any questions if you have them. Is there any Public Comment on the Consent Agenda . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And we will vote on the Consent Agenda as one item. And apologize. And to approve the Consent Agenda with the Good Neighbor policy. And the motion. One more time. Commissioner perez. Commissioner thomas. President bleiman. Commissioner lee. Commissioner falzon. Yai yai. The Consent Agenda has been approved. Congratulations. Follow up with the Deputy Director at your earliest convenience. Thank you, commissioner perez, for making us motion it as well. That was huge. It would have had to come back otherwise. The next item is the regular agenda, and i will have Deputy Director azevedo introduce that as well. The nl o permit on the excuse me. Lets start over. The only permits on the regular agenda and the mechanical amusement and device permits and at 2636 and westwood is a new music bar in the Marina District and is the first to have a mechanical bull. The application is to host live d. J. Performances and the mad permit is for the mechanical bull. The owner has done extensive soundproofing including building a roof over the alley to dampen sound bleed, resurfacing the entire roof, installing fans to prevent the doors being open and installing sound dampening fabric behind the speakers. This application includes the use of two outdoor speakers on the patio. If you are in your file are four letters of support, two of which were submitted by tenant who is live directly above westwood. A letter distributed to the four neighboring residential units, and correspondence between the owner and neighbor who was previously concerned but is now in support of westwoods application. The applicant collected 350 signatures from supporting patrons. In your file is one letter of concern submitted to the Planning Department and shared with me months ago, and otherwise there was no opposition. Northern station approve this is permit with no added conditions, and here to tell you more is the owner kingston wu. Good evening, commissioners. I can kind of rego over some of the items that katelyn brought up, but if there is any questions in particular that you would like me to answer, i would be happy to do that. I want to say that we are a Country Music themed restaurant and bar opening up in the marina. I know that we have often described as a bar, but i think that we have fabulous food. As a matter of fact, our chef spent 10 years working at Mission Kitchen as an sous chef over there and we deliver a great meal and ample spirits if the customers ask for it. Were open wednesday through sunday. And wednesday through friday we open in the evening from 5 00 to close. And saturday and sunday we do a great brunch and open at 10 00 in the morning and go until whenever the crowd dies out. And we do have a mechanical bull and we run that really tightly. We have separate insurance for that. We have separate workmens comp for that and ample waivers and cameras positioned on top of the bull. What we want to do is offer live music to our guests on wednesday nights, hiring local artists. Weve thinking about bringing in some bigger acts as well if we can get the right kind of support behind it. And then on fridays and saturday nights, we would like to do Country Music, d. J. S, and we stick really with the theme and that is the genera of muse that i can we play throughout. The rest of the time we have a jukebox thats got all other generas of music restricted so that only Country Music plays. Happy to answer any other questions you might have. Just a comment as a Country Music fan. I object to the description of them in one of these letters from one of your neighbors, but otherwise thank you. I had no idea you were a Country Music fan. Yes. That is pretty cool. A professional sound System Installed by a professional a. V. Team. I dont know how to divy it up. We spent nearly 80,000 on a combination of internet, phone, and sound system. I would say its the little teardrop speakers that kind of like that most restaurants use throughout the entire place. And where the stage is, where we would like to have large music, we have larger speakers that project outward to lombard street. The residences in the area are kind of behind us. The speakers projects outwards. They brought up a neighbor that had concerns about the sound to their unit, and what we have done is that neighbor actually was a musician and so he came on in and a number of what we were catching up on stuff and had recommended and already implemented in terms of sound frequencies and carry the lowend frequencies and the sound system is sophisticated enough that we were able to squash all the below 250 hertz frequencies so that lowend doesnt transmit. As a result, we have been able to sway him from someone who was concerned about the programming to someone that is more in support of it. You know when you go to live performer, live band, either you pipe everything through your system or they will bring their own speakers. It is actually very good that you mention that. We have the bands that we can afford to kind of bring on board tend to be the smaller acts and stuff like that, so we can dictate to them that we prefer them to use our system. Now, whether that happens or not is up in the air, but i think that weve put that out there as our request. Simultaneously, we have an in house sound guy that we use that is able to control things even if they do use their own system. So thats someone that we hire for these events. So you have no problems if they are too loud to tell them we dont have any problem. Its not toby keith playing in a venue and above the act. Well, walk out the door on you. And there are contingency plans and i want to know if you have any. I guess in that regard i dont have a contingency plan other than the sound person on site every single time there is an event. That is our event and then also timing wise, 8 00 to 10 00 is kind of when we want to do the live music. And nothing after that. And you dont have a map here in your application, but do you have a patio . We dont have a patio. Not in the back. A lot of lombard places have patios. No outside speakers or any doors that might leak through. We were in i dont know how to describe it. There is an entrance and exit that are street facing and we modified that. The two speakers face lom ward street and angle toward the sidewalk to play Country Music tunes to people who might by and draw them inside the venue, but no other patio to speak of. Those are the patio speakers, i guess, because the building is inset a little bit from the street. The speakers outside are adjustable, right . Yes, and they are a separate zone than the rest of the speakers, so we have six zones inside the space. And we can turn them on and off or adjust each zone accidentally of one another. Okay. All right. Hi. Thanks for coming in. Sure. Congratulations to your business. Glad to see that you have about 11 pages of signatures. So about 170 maybe people who signed the petition. Do you know if these are mainly patrons or people in the neighborhood . That is a good question. Those are people that have walked inside the venue and we have asked them to be so kind to support live music in the venue. Those are the patrons and i understand that could be a little bit skewed because clearly customers that walked in wouldnt have the opportunity to sign the petition. What we have separately done which i hope we did this correctly is we wrote a notice and then what we did is if you look on google maps, i submitted to katelyn and not sure if it got around to the rest of the commissioners, for every single residential unit that surrounded our building, and there was basically one to the right of it, companied depending on how you are facing and kind of three in the rear, general in the rear area. We posted a notice at their front entrance and took pictures of the notices and shared them. We posted the notice saying this is what were programming and doing over here. These are the steps that we have tried to do to address the sound bleed. If you have any issues, please write us at our main info line. And happy to set up a meeting and speak to them, and so this date, only that one individual that we addressed earlier has been in contact with us. And no one has emailed us separately about any sound issues. Right. I am glad you took the steps to do that. I am impressed that the direct neighbor above you have supported you, so that says a lot. Thank you. And i think thats all. Good luck to you. Thank you. All right. I dont have any questions here. I appreciate you coming in. I know the former venue used to have a lot of live music. Chris went and did away with that with stock and trade. You know him. Bringing it back, it is great down there and need for country in San Francisco. I do encourage you to continue to work with us as issues arise. I think there can be sometimes an attitude that we need to just be told what we want to hear, and i am not saying you are doing this, but i say similar things to everyone and people go off and do their own thing, but i think that everyone finds that when we actually Work Together on things that our office is extraordinarily helpful and open and help resolve issues and that our dual mission to regulate night life and help promote it is actually very realistic. I just want to continue to keep that conversation going as issues do arise. I am excited about this spot and were happy for you. I dont have any further questions. You can take a seat.

It is to discussion and possible action, so that you have the ability tonight to vote on taking this mission, vision, value statement as is for us to then publish and use within our channels and use on our new website page that is going to go up in the next little bit here. Or you can take a moment now to discuss amongst yourselves how you want to edit it and then adopt that is what we want. And just so you know, since Vice President caminong is very dedicated to wordsmithing and making sure that our messaging is on point, i talked to her about this and she made her edits so what you are seeing also includes that.

So the proposed Mission Statement and these are all from the retreat. The Entertainment Commission supports a thriving entertainment and night life culture that balances the needs of the citys Entertainment Community, its audiences, and its neighbors across all district neighborhoods. Okay. Proposed vision statement. San franciscos Entertainment Community is world class, diverse, equitable, robust, responsible, and inclusive. And finally, our value statement, and we had a whole bunch of values list sod this is the only one that katelyn and i with the help of Vice President caminong really doctored. So this is the San FranciscoEntertainment Commission values transparency, communication, and honesty, a sense of belonging and sanctuary for all, and entertain. Which we know that is kind of a catchy ending and if you dont like it, but i just thought it was cute. Take it or leave it. Ready, go. I like these.

I should have been looking at the agenda. Sorry. Item seven, commissioner comments and questions. Who has something to say . I do tonight. I dont know if anyone has noticed over the last month our officers have been wearing pink Police Patches on their shoulders, and i am remiss and i actually bought everyone one and i forgot to bring them tonight. I will bring them to the next meeting. This was an effort of our chief will scott as well as our Police Officers association who are present tony montoya and over the last month we raised over 20,000 for the cure. Simply selling our patches and pink shirts. And by the way, if you would rather get a pink shirt versus a pink patch, i can do that, too. I still have time to adjust. Everyone just has to let me know their preference. No, you can some people can have both. Do you have a picture of the shirt . Does it have a logo . The sfpd batch in black and white, but a very bright pink shirt. If you are looking to message the cure, it definitely fits the bill, but you are promoting our fine department. Okay. Thank you. Cancer. Im sorry, did i not say that . This was obviously a well, maybe not so obvious. A fundraiser for cancer. It is our second year doing this. Director weiland, remind us again and where the Holiday Party is going to be. Yes. For all of you listening out there, brian and everybody else, our i know he watches these every single time.

I have Nothing Specific to say. I said my piece in the beginning. Is there Public Comment on our commissioners comments and questions . Seeing none. Public comment is closed and we will adjourn this meeting at 6 13 p. M. Today. Thank you. [ ] [ ] so i grew up in cambridge, massachusetts and i was very fortunate to meet my future wife, now my wife while we were both attending graduate school at m. I. T. , studying urban planning. So this is her hometown. So, we fell in love and moved to her city. [ ] [ ] i was introduced to this part of town while working on a campaign for gavin, who is running for mayor. I was one of the organizers out here and i met the people and i fell in love with them in the neighborhood. So it also was a place in the city that at the time that i could afford to buy a home and i wanted to own my own home. This is where we laid down our roots like many people in this neighborhood and we started our family and this is where we are going to be. I mean we are the part of San Francisco. Its the two neighborhoods with the most children under the age of 18. Everybody likes to talk about how San Francisco is not familyfriendly, there are not a lot of children and families. We have predominately Single Family homes. As i said, people move here to buy their first home, maybe with multiple family members or multiple families in the same home and they laid down their roots. [ ] its different because again, we have little small storefronts. We dont have Light Industrial space or space where you can build highrises or large office buildings. So the tech boom will never hit our neighborhood in that way when it comes to jobs. Turkey, cheddar, avocado, lettuce and mayo, and little bit of mustard. Thats my usual. Mike is the owner, born and bred in the neighborhood. He worked in the drugstore forever. He saved his money and opened up his own spot. Were always going to support home grown businesses and he spent generations living in this part of town, focusing on the family, and the vibe is great and people feel at home. Its like a Little Community gathering spot. This is the part of the city with a small town feel. A lot of mom and pop businesses, a lot of family run businesses. There is a conversation on whether starbucks would come in. I think there are some people that would embrace that. I think there are others that would prefer that not to be. I think we moved beyond that conversation. I think where we are now, we really want to enhance and embrace and encourage the businesses and Small Businesses that we have here. In fact, its more of a mom and pop style business. I think at the end of the day, what were really trying to do is encourage and embrace the diversity and enhance that diversity of businesses we already have. Were the only supervisor in the city that has a permanent district office. A lot of folks use cafes or use offices or different places, but i want out and was able to raise money and open up a spot that we could pay for. Im very fortunate to have that. Hi, good to see you. Just wanted to say hi, hi to the owner, see how hes doing. Everything okay . Yeah. Good. We spend the entire day in the district so we can talk to constituents and talk to Small Businesses. We put money in the budget so you guys could be out here. This is like a commercial corridor, so they focus on cleaning the streets and it made a Significant Impact as you can see. What an improvement it has made to have you guys out here. For sure. We have a significantly diverse neighborhood and population. So i think thats the richness of the mission and it always has been. Its what made me fall in love with this neighborhood and why i love it so much. Clerk item number 1, call to order. [roll call] clerk we do have a quorum. Let me take the opportunity to those who may be up and running this morning, welcome to the San FranciscoTreasure Island information and
