Transcripts For SFGTV 20140605

Development and local at risk and under privileged youth and education exposure and part of that education exposure is we are going to be hosting a Community Job fair down at pier 70, to with the trades and the local unions and the local organizations to come in there and trying to get some folks and kids excited about Different Things and part of the commute benefits as well have the google have a booth there and lets teach some at risk youth who may not want to finish high school and to go to college and get the degree and being able to become a computer programmer. And so, the next page, you will see the port of San Francisco Good Neighbor policy, and this is, we are as most entertainment licenses are under the supervision of the Entertainment Commission and the sfpd, we have a couple of additional layers on who is watching over us and making sure that we are doing the right things and one of that is the port of San Francisco. And our Good Neighbor policy for the port of San Francisco. We have 13, different items on here. And all of them we have agreed to and we are very, very happy to continue that Good Neighbor policy, and it is something that i feel incredibly adoment about and i feel that with the magnitude and the size of the events that we are going to be doing, we will not only meet but we will exceed the Good Neighbor policy that the port has set to us. And the last page that you are looking at, i am sorry the second to last page is our actual licensed area, and so, if you see, and i can put this up here. Perfect. And so, if you look right here, and it is 22nd street. And 22nd street is the main entrance into what is on this, and this is pier 70 and this is the main entrance on to pier 70 and the premises that we have, and our licensed area is building 12, and building 15, and building 32 and 25 and 16, and the cyard and the a yard for a combined square foot of 230,000 square feet. Yes. Very big. Very big. And then, the last page on here, is elevations, or it is actually not necessarily the elevations it is sea level and grade, to kind of represent that if you see the green, i should put this back on here. And the green section right here, and this is building 12, and the green section right there, is what is called irish hill and we are about 25 to 30 feet below the end of 22nd street. Which is phenomenal sound barrier, built in within itself and like i said when the ghost ship was produced out there, from my knowledge there were no noise complaints or sound complaints or anything like that. We will continue to Pay Attention to that, and make sure that like i said, we are Good Neighbors and enter any questions for the neighborhood. And so 9 here, and thank you for the time, and i appreciate you allowing me to present pier 70 to you. And we are going to have some questions for you. Wonderful. Commissioner joseph . So, pier 70 is an amazing location. And just so if any commissioners dont know, when you drive up to pier 70, you have to drive down and so it is literally a bowl. And so it is off of the street and it is down. And this and their entire pier 70 is below, i dont know, the ground level, kind of on the street. And it is an interesting configuration that is like in the gully of the hill. And i just wanted to add, and i loved what you are doing there, and i really, i loved ppier 70 and did you speak with the bay view station yes, but we dont have any police conditions. I believe that he is here. Okay, great. And then, you were applying for 47 . We plan on applying for a 47, correct. It is a 47 is a fixed place venue and so, is it going to be for the buildings . It is going to be so, we are talking with abc now about where that licensed area is going to be. Okay. Beer garden in one section, because this is a learning curve for everyone, it is the largest event space in San Francisco. And so it is a little bit of a learning curve for everyone and we are going through it the right way to make sure that all of the questions are answered before. You are going to do a pigeon extermination. But there is also a red tailed hawk which fortunately will help. It is a great space and wish you a lot of luck. Thank you. Commissioner lee . So the space is large, i mean, can you explain to us how much that you have to clean up because i remember being towed there a few times and is it oily and i am just wondering how the space this big for this amount of people, the safety, you know, obviously the bathrooms and things like that, what have you done to make it an event space. The infrastructure right now is a raw space, there are no bathrooms, currently there is one hose bib ha tha has Running Water and not a lot of electricity and power out there. And we have developed a program with the port is kind of its own entity out there and so there is a Building Department for the port and a Fire Department for the port and leasing for the port and everything like that and so the captain from the ports Fire Department i have walked through with him countless times and we have set up to get a permanent place of assembly that will alleviate a lot of that, you need to have candle light and emergency and light after a show and as far as cleaning the space, we spent a lot of money going in there with hoses and power washers and the street sweepers and brooms and scrubbers and removed the pigeon and oil and dirt and mud and we actually had the first semilarge, and we had about 300 people on friday for a movie night and it was a bring your own blanket and your own chair and so it was very important for us to make the space cleaner before the people sit down on the ground and we have, and it is still building that, that we used to have the ships built in it and it was still a space that was made in 1942. So, there is only so much that we can do but we are making progress, slowly but surely. Thank you. Yeah . Commissioner perez. It is very evident that you are passionate about this project and i want to say that i appreciate the time and effort that you did in getting all of the out reach that you did. And so thank you for that. Thank you. And i just want to say thank you for caring about the nonprofits in the neighborhood that is really a great project that you are doing thank you. We are in San Francisco and we are here in San Francisco and we plan on being here in San Francisco for a long time. And so rather than just popping up and here we are and then we are gone. Lets give back. Thank you, commissioners. Thank you. Good evening, captain sullivan, the bay view station, and as jordan had said, they threw an event and jordan sxhis partner did on halloween and ghost ship came to the bay view and it was the first opportunity to work with jordan and his partner in the fall. And they followed through with everything that they said that they would do and there were no complaints about the sound out there. And true to form, there were Community Events attached with that particular event. And so, bay view station does not have any issues with the event planning, there are no conditions, we trust that jordan and his partner will abide by the Good Neighborhood policy and look forward as is evident in the letters of support that you have there that they are going to do right by the bay view. Okay. Any questions . Thank you, for coming. Thank you. And is there any Public Comment on pier 70 . All right. Seeing none, matter is with the commission. Yeah, would i like to move to approve this. I second it. I would just like to make or echo commissioner perezs comments, thank you very much for taking the community so seriously and all of your out reach and your efforts. On the motion to approve, the same house same call . Yes. Approved. It is going to be great. Thank you. All right. So, now, we are at number 6, commissioner comments and questions. Do we have any comments or questions from commissioners . Just that San Francisco pride, june 28, 29. And i would like to say that the Cartoon Art Museum is having an event on sunday. And it is people are going to be dressing up as. Ncartoons. Yeah. Drag queens are going to be dressing up as cartoons. I do not know anything about the cartoons that people are dressing up as. I have gotten several messages from friends and i dont know who any of these characters are. So i am going to go and see. No i am not dressing up. So, i am not doing drag right now. Car field the cat. I would do that, maybe that. And so, and it is in the evening and so it is going to be a fun event so please check out the Cartoon Art Museum. Are there any other and is there any Public Comment on our comments . Great. All right. So now, we are on to 7, which is new business request for future agenda item . S yes. Okay. Commissioner akers . Okay. I spoke with cami yesterday and there is a couple of things that came up in that discussion and it was about the language around surveillance equipment, and some just confusion about what actually happened at our retreat. So one of the things is that we did not get a chance to review and approve the minutes from the retreat. So, and so they are not up on the website so we need to do that at some point. And so, i would like to have that on the calendar. And i think that cami gave us a copy of the minutes for us to review. Yes. Or i mean. And then, we need to discuss the language, what we are going to actually decide on as a consistent language around the surveillance camera. Because there was some confusion about whether we actually did vote to go with one of the options that was given to us at the retreat with some modifications or if it was still something that we were going to discuss at a later point. And at any point, the language issue is not resolved, and we need to make a decision, about it. Okay. That is correct. Can i ask you a question. What do you remember . We are not allowed to have this conversation, because it is not agendaized. I would love to have that discussion. No. What you said is correct. And so, we will discuss it on the next meeting in two weeks, on the 17th. Okay. So in the meantime, what was passed out so you guys all can review this before the 17th, is the minutes from our retreat, and that little bullet the three bullets and i will also bring copies or if we can make copies of the ones that i took my notes from what i thought we had kind of got on. So. Can you email those to. I will email. Yes. And i will email it. Okay. Okay. Does anyone else have agenda items . Any Public Comment on the agenda items . All right.
