Transcripts For SFGTV BOS Budget And Finance SubCommittee 42016 20160421

Clerk, items today will be on the april, 26, board of spurps agenda, unless, otherwise stated. We have ten items on the aagain this morning, we will try to get through them. Start by calling item one. Ordinance, amending the administrative code to codify the process for imposing sanctions for nonwillful, failures to comply with the county adult assistance programs. Thank you, madam clerk, so colleagues, when our voters of San Francisco passed, we made a commitment that we are going to provide benefits for housing and services that will keep people stabilized it was one of the biggest innovations in addressing the homelessness, and the success has spoken for itself thousands of individuals have found, housing stability, since the implementation, more than a decade ago, and we have a long ways left to go on the streets in San Francisco. But in working with a lot of departments last year and i want to note that joyce and i believe that scott and someone else from hsa are here today to answer any questions, that we may have, we found a minor flaw in the program that has enhanced to individuals being evicted which causes them to cycle back into homelessness and cost our city more resources in long run, than if that individual, continued to remain housed. Currently, after an individual, has hit, noncompliance with the Program Requirements for the third time, hsa notified the individual that the benefit may be discontinued. In some circumstances we are able to get back them, but after a third noncompliance where no source and security threatened. Dozens of individuals a year could face eviction, due to the nonpayment of rent. So i introduced these reforms a while ago, for the housing practice m that will create a three year, rental Assistance Project for the participants and codify the process for imposing the sanctions for the requirements to keep the vulnerable populations secure and lower the risk of eviction, the intent is to reduce the homelessness. The intent of the reforms that we introduced to significantly reduce the risk that our cash participants will be ee viblt vikted or become, insecure. Under the proposal, a three year pilot program, participants who reside in hsa funding Supportive Housing and have engaged in three acts of failure to comply with the Program Requirements will be ineligible for receive the cash assistance for a month. But make a rental payment during that month on the behalf of the client. Hsa will collect the assistance under this project and the annual report to the board of spurps describing the effectiveness and the recommendation foz improvement. And the individuals who receive rental assistance under the project, must do a few things, they must reinstate the cap during the first month of the sanction period in order to reestablish the income source to allow them to resume the payments the following month and reestablish the participation in a fair party rent service in the cap. Individuals will not be able to qualify for rental assistance under the Pilot Project, if it is due to fraud, willful, noncompliance, with the requirements or the loss of program inelbility due to reasons, including increase in income or assets for another cash assistance program. Homelessness, ko nts to persist on our streets here in San Francisco and it has done so for years. I do believe that we can continue to talk about here in the city hall that providing housing opportunities for the homeless can be an important thing to do and keeping those that are housed that were homeless in the houses i believe that it reconfirms to keep the people in their homes and i hope to have your support. With that, colleagues, are there any questions . For hsa . At all . Push push there is no report on item one. Snechlt okay. In ewith that we can return if there are any questions, we will open it up for Public Comment, anybody wish to comment on this item . Snechlt okay. Seeing none, Public Comment is close supervisor tang . Snechlt one question is how many the pilot is estimated to cost . I think that, i will bring it to say that the answer and i imagine that she will have the same answer that i will is that, we expect it to be the amount, and obviously there is no budget Analyst Report. But we dont have a secure number at this point. Because data has never been collected. But we know that the people have been evicted for this reason. They have been and it will be a minimum amount and we will keep track when the pilot is implemented and so we will have a sense of how much it is. But hopefully with the reach out after the third discontinuance, it will avoid people being evicted and having to pay back rent. We have the numbers as to the number of discontinuance, but not the dollar amounts that i am aware. The mayors budget often. Thank you. Joyce you would know this best. But the amount of rent that each individual is paying per month is somewhere around, 100 or 20 a month. Exactly, so the subdy would be for that amount, and we are not projecting an impact but collecting the data Going Forward. Because no budget impact then it is not going to be included in the up coming years budget. Correct, it will be included in what we already have in the ongoing base for the contracts. Right now we are not thinking that it needs to be increased. Thank you. Just to add the color on that also, we anticipate the cost savings to provide through the eviction path and we will have more reports on this Going Forward and it is actually more costly, than the month of rent, which is why we are implementing this program to actually save the dollars on one side and also to keep the people housed. That is the winwin situation that we are looking for. Supervisor yee. What are the plans in terms of reporting back about this Pilot Project . Is it at the end of three years . Annually . I believe that we are going to collect data quarterly. And roll it up. And like the eviction report, sponsored by supervisor farrell we will report out at the end of each fiscal year. That satisfies me, i think that we need to know at the end of the first year if there is an impact or not. If there is a fiscal impact because it makes the adjustments. Correct. Any further questions . Discussions . Okay. So i would ask for the folks support. Any motion on this . All right. Through the cha, their, i wo like to make a motion. The motion by tang and the second by supervisor yee. You can call number two. Resolution making changes to the city and county of San Francisco special tax district no 20091, to amend authorized financing purposes for including accessibility for access financing for persons with disabilities. Thank you this item was sponsored by supervisor tang. Thank you, supervisor farrell and so this was to amend a special tax district that our city has set up for green financing. What we want to do is to allow those who are making accessibility improves to their buildings to also be able to participate in the special tax district. And so, there is an amendment that i need to offer today. Which i have passed out to you and our city attorney. And it is on the third page. Basically what the amendment does is that it references an ordinance that we will need to adopt in the future to authority the levy and the collection of special taxes within the special tax district to finance a cost of accessibility improvements. We had previously made it seem like we had already done so. But we actually need to do that in the future. So colleagues, if there are no other questions or comments, i think that i would just like to make a motion to amend this legislation as such. And then send it forth to the full board. Okay. Motion by supervisor tang, we will take the Public Comment before we vote on that. If know other questions or comments, open this up to Public Comment. Would you like to comment on item two . Seeing, none, Public Comment is closed. Motion by supervisor tang to amend and the accepted underlying item to the full board with recommendation. Second by yee and take it without objection, would you call item three. Resolution, authorizing the director of transportation of San Francisco transportation, to enter into a contract with skidata for the equipment and software and professional Services Required to install and maintain new Parking Access, to nottoexceed, 20 million. We have the mta to speak on this item . Great, good afternoon, supervisors my name is ted graf and i am the director of parking. I am here to present this parking contract for the equipment and 22 of the Parking Facilities. With the preview was late yesterday, at the long mta Board Meeting around 5 30 last night. Quick introduction, this will effect, 22 Parking Facilities and one lot and parking fa tillties, they collect, 94 million in gross revenue, in the net, approximately, 47 million for the city. The Current System has passed the use of life and there are concerns, primarily, revolving around the pci requirements and the Service Issues as well. Provided a map here, hopefully you can take a quick look at it, and it might show up here. But you will notice that a number of the facilities in the blue, and those are the primary Parking Facilities. And our locations, in gray are our off street surface lots. And this will primarily effect the locations in blue. However, this new system will allow us to expand the sf park, pricing model, throughout the city, through the off street, facilities. And what is parks . It is not exciting as some of the on street policy and it is not as exciting as some of the neighborhood planning that we have been doing, but it is a necessary part of what we do and protects the agencies and the citys revenues, hardware and software, and gates and computers, and familiintercoms e life span is usually 7 to 10 years, some was installed as late 90s most in the early, 2000s and not produced and it is no the supported. The benefit of the new parks for the consumers are numerous, however, it will really allow the secure payments in providing increased Payment Options for customers. Benefits of the new park for the city, and our parking operators, are really real time reporting, auditing big data, analytics and a global view, with the cds, or the central monitoring station, we will have all of the data and be able to come back in real time to get a view and make the decisions based on data. A few of our central monitoring stations. We have already begun some of the work. We have already started installing some of the fiber optic cabling throughout the streets. And we have initiated the designs for the facilities for accepting the equipment. And we have executed with the rec park who is our partner and the department of technology. And our public works division. If you choose to support this contract, the next step will be to actually schedule to be at the board of supervisors next week. And then to issue an ntp with skidata to kick off the install. Projected time ne, is about 33 months, starting in may. And the end of the Warranty Period will end in 2029. Happy to answer any questions, or concerns that you may have at this time. You supervisor tang . Thank you. So i saw on the budget Analyst Report the list of the garages. And i was just curious as to how you went about selecting the order for the installation. Sure. We started with a couple of the smaller facilities it is a large project. This is one of the largest projects in the history of parking equipment, as i know in north america. So there is a process in vetting this out. The equipment and there is always a learning curve and we want to make sure that everybody is happy with the new system. There will be lpr in these garages. And as we are going through the construction phase. And it will effect the ins and out of the traffic. So we are starting the smaller and rolling out the larger. And we have the flex in the contract to move the facilities around in that order but we will try to stick that time line as best as possible. So my other question that i think that this probably answers why, i was going to ask, why it was going to take the course of 3 fiscal years to install the equipment, but i am guessing that you want to make sure that you are not impacting the flow of traffic in each of the gaurgz. Correct. And then you mentioned that the typical life span of the equipment is about seven to ten years, is that going to be about the same for this new equipment that we are going to be installing as well . That is correct. We have negotiated the preventive maintenance contract, as part of this and so we are hoping to squeeze it, it is typically seven to sen years. That should be it for now. Supervisor yee . So, this 19 million is this a is this a one time only . Correct. Yeah, it is staggered out and so that includes the hardware and that will be retained software, that will be retained as well as a preventive maintenance and Warranty Period. So in regards to the 94 million that is generated, and verses the 27 in net, it is not going to impact that much is it . We are hope thag it will actually increase the revenue with the new equipment. It will be able to actually expand our validation programs and be much easier for customers to use and it will be much quicker. We will have Better Customer Service through the central monitoring station and intercom system. So we are hoping to see an impact or a positive impact. Okay, thank you. Okay, colleagues any further questions . Mr. Rose, could we go to your report, please . Yes, mr. Chairman. And members of the committee on page 3 of our report, we report that under the proposed contract, skidata will begin to deliver the Parking Access and revenue control system equipment to the sfmta beginning with the capitol monitoring station and then in fiscal year, 15 16, they will deliver and install that equipment in the central monitoring station, and then 22 Parking Facilities in the fiscal year of 15, 16, through year, 18 19, across of 13 million, and then in addition, provide warranties and mant nens in 18 19, through 27 28, at 6 million, and so we have total contract cost as has been mentioned of 19 million and that is over the 13 year and that is shown in table one on page 3 of our report. We also note at the bottom of page 3, that the table two on page 4, shows the budget for installation of the equipment. And again that is the 19 million. Since the sfmta it is our understanding that the board of directors has now approved the contract that was not done as of the writing of our report we recommend that you approve this legislation. Okay. Thank you very much. Mr. Rose, colleagues any questions . Okay. We will move on to Public Comment anybody wish to comment on item number 3 . All right, seeing none, Public Comment is closed.

I am here to seek your approval for the amendment for the long term ground lease. For the property located at 1555 turk street. It is known as Laurel Gardens it is Affordable Housing, 52 units. This amendment updates the original, ground lease which was executed with the former redevelopment agency, in 1998. To todays current standards in our office. And we are doing this amendment in connection with the refinance, in the substantial rehabilitation of the project. And also, accompanying that refinance is a 20 year renewal of the section eight, contract. The updates to the ground lease acommendment that we are updating are the payment structure, this will include a 15,000 annual payment. And then, any residual ground lease payment is split between available cash flow after expenses, onethird to the sponsor, and twothirds to the city. The citys portion is capped at 250,000. And that is ten percent of the appraised land value. And a new appraisal in connection with this refinance and the land was appraised 9. 5 Million Dollars.

I am here to seek your approval for the Second Amendment with the amb pier one and the subways between pier one and the port. And we appreciate the recommendation here by the budget legislation analyst office. And i would like to provide just a summary of the key points to the agreement here. And we seek your favorable approval here. So the first item is that as outlined in the budget legislative Analyst Report is a 500,000 of additional participation rent and the support that we received. By entering into this equipment. And second key term is the agreement by amb pier one for lodges to mitigate certain sea level ride protection in the pier one level structure. And the third key is to remain responsible for the management and the capitol required to maintain the premiseses during the extension terms.

During that extension and another benefit is that it will comply with all of the current city requirements. In addition, for the dodges, pier one will invest, 10 million, and 10 million into the pier one facility with another least, 2 to 3 Million Dollars of improvements. And then in terms of the ports benefits we received a 1 time right to terminate the lease. And in the year 2031. And that concludes my presentation, thank you. Thank you very much. Colleagues any questions for the port staff . Look forward to having the gga lease come up for the port some time soon. You dont have to comment if you dont want to. Mr. Rose, would you go to your report for item 6 . Yes, mr. Chairman and members of the committee as shown on table one of page 15 of our report, amb pier one is to pay the port 6,808,538 in total rent, in 2011, 2015. Including 100823 in participation rent, and in table two, the estimated rent to be paid to the port is 7 million. And that is from 2016 to 2020, which includes the approximately, 500,000 in guaranteed participation, rent. And we recommend that you approve this resolution. Thank you there rose. Any questions comments . Okay. We will move on to Public Comment. Item six . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Colleagues, do we have a recommendation to approve . I would like to make a motion to send forth the resolution to the full board. We have a motion by tang and seconded by yee and take that without objection. Would you call item seven . Resolution authorizing a director of property on behalf of San Francisco public works, to execute a lease of 9900, rental kwar, feet, and costing the city, 3. 2 million. This is sponsored by dpw and mr. Up dak is here. And we will turn the mic over to you. Thank you chair farrell. So this item seeks approval of relocating the material assessing lab to 2000 oak dale, that is a property owned by 1030, Polk Associates lt and our apoll guapology being different than the name that owns the property, and that is controlled by matthew as the general partner. The materials pesting lab was actually formally located in city hall. If you can believe that. Or not. Then, it was moved to this Current Location, at 2099 kearny or the noerlth point plant, that is puc, property. And in order to make way for a new hydraulic pump project at v and they have respectfully requested the public works relocate this operation and so we have been engaged in that process. And so i am joined by both puc and public works officials who can address any questions that you might have about both of the nexus and the reason for the move as well as why this location works very well for public works. If you have questions . This item is a tenyear, lease. And it has three, fiveyear renewal options and so assuming that the renewals are approved that takes care of this location, until may of 2041. I probably will not be back here for that renewal discussion. Come on. Well you never know. Rent for the property, is set at 15. 15 a square foot and it is an industrial gross rate and the city pays the expenses beyond that bait for the 9900 of improvements. Increases are bracketed no less than 3 percent and month more than 5 percent per year. When we did a search with the assistance of both cdre and the calco company of the Industrial Properties in the area, rates ranged from 18. 60, to 2580, and again we are at 15. 15. Renewal rates are at 95 percent of fair market rent. With respect to the budget analyst recommended changes, we have no problems with those changes. We will revise the tenant Improvement Project cost to cap it at 2. 7 Million Dollars. There is an additional 99,000 contribution from the landlord so it is actually 2. 799. As the total delivery cost. And then with respect to the purchase opportunity should it arise, and that is how it is drafted if there is an opportunity, we have and we can pursue a purchase at this site. And we had anticipated that it would not happen any time soon. Certainly, depending on chapter 23, amendments would likely be processed by the board. Which dictate the appraisal requirements and so the an advertisetation an advertisetation that it would be raised. And so again, colleagues at the puc and wubl works here to answer any questions that you might have, otherwise i will handle in any lease questions that you have. Supervisor tang, thank you. So just a question, so the puc will be occupying 2099 kearny indefinitely. That is correct for the new project. And then you mentioned earlier in your statement about kind of the nexus between why this particular arrangement would work out for both departments could you elaborate on that . Puc can speak to their plans and you will sort of understand why the Material Testing Lab is not a fit in those plans. Good morning, i am from sfpuc. And i am aa senior project manager there. This is one of our critical sources for the upgrade project and this existing pump station is 36 years old, with aging and electrical and mechanical systems. The existing pump station, treats about 150 million gallons a day in the wet weather and the new pump station will allow us to maintain the compartment compliance, and the delaying this project is upstream, flooding, and so we need to, we need to meet our level of service goals, that were endorsed by our commission and so this is the project for us to build. And we add in the design phase and we anticipate to start the construction in 2017 on this site. Do you have any questions, i am happy to answer. Supervisor yee . What are you designing the new pump station to handle . We are adding design page at 35 percent design. We will be completing our design, early next quarter of 2017. Put it out for bid. And then Start Construction later that year. Let me rephrase the question. The existing station, pumps about 160,000. No 150 million. What would the new one . The same capacity. 150. Okay. I just, just a comment. I am really glad that we are actually anticipating that there is a possibility of purchasing in that we are going to actually get somebody to appraise it ahead of time. Thank you very much for that. Colleagues any further questions . Okay, mr. Rose, could we go to your report, please . Yes, mr. Chairman and members of the committee o page, 19 of our report, the estimated rent to be paid by the city to the landlord in the cities offering in the cities over the year, the lease term are 2 million, and in that is shown in table two as a stated on page, 19. On page 20, the estimated design and Construction Costs are 2 million, 799,000 in which the city share is 2,700,000 and that is on table three on page 20. We do have a series of recommendations as mr. Up dike indicated. They are shown on page 21, and we recommend that you amend the ordinance, that she shall do it prior to making an offer to purchase the property in the event that the lan lord offers the property for sale. And we recommend that you amend the proposed resolution, to the estimated tenant improvements. And further, we recommend that you amend the resolution, and that the citys cost will not a, and that the city will not advertise any of the costs for improvements and finally we recommend that you approve the resolution as amended. Thank you, mr. Rose, any questions on those amendments . Proposal by our budget analyst . And i want to confirm mine as saying, dpw and real estate are okay with these . Okay. With that, why dont we open up to the Public Comment, anyone wish to comment on item seven . Anything none, Public Comment is closed.

And which obliges the commission to set the rates and charges to cover all of the expenses of the enterprise. We will approve the form of transaction documents as well as delegating the authority to the general manager to conclude the sale. For this next slide, outlines the various transaction documents that you will be approving. The preliminary official statement is the most critical document. It is the offering document that sets forth to investors all of the Material Information that they would need in order to make an investment decision. We went through a thorough review of the tos, internally. To insure that it is accurate and up to date. And the other transaction documents, items 2 through six, or a standard set of documents required for all bond issuances. So, we went through a fairly rigorous training process with the commission recently, about the disclosure requirements, and here are the vital questions, to ask and answer when approving any bond issue. So the purpose of the issuance we have discussed, is structure, is a long term fixed rate debt. And with all of our existing debt, and the method of sale will be a competitive sale, and the repayment will be waste water, service charges. And now the waste water enterprise has about 700 Million Dollars of debt outstanding this will ee shally be close to doubling the amount of debt and have the i am when fully hitting the rate base of 8 a month and as long as the commission and the board approve rates and charges, as outlined in the ten year plan, the issuance of this debt is not anticipated to impact the Credit Rating of the enterprise. So this next slide, is the transaction schedule. The commission has acted on march 22nd, where we are before you today. And assuming that you approve the item for passed, and passage to the full board, and it would be the action taken on the 26th and price the bonds and close in may. Thank you and i am happy to answer any questions. Thank you very much. Colleagues, any questions or comments . Okay. Could we go to your report on item ten . Yes, mr. Chairman and members of the committee, on page, 28 of our report, we report that the uses of the 621 million, in bond proceeds consist of 577986 and funding for waste water projects. And additional 40 for the remaining 13,000 for the related bond costs and that is shown in table one on page, 29 of our report. On page 30 of our report, we report that the proposed issuance of 621 million will increase the sfpuc total debt to 1 billion, 290 million and increase the debt Service Plans to 80,17,981, when the repayment begins in 2018, 19, the Debt Service Payments are included in the pucs tenyear, financial plan. Puc expects to pay a billion, 7 million, 9,000 in total Debt Service Costs through the firscl year, 46, 47, and we also note supervisors on page, 31 that in order to meet the increased cost, for the bond issuance, the sfpuc let me clarify here in this paragraph, there are two errors that i want to kreblth, the first one is in the third line down where it says 17, 18, it should say 18, 19, and in table three where it says annual increase it should say monthly increase. So with that, in mind, i started to state that in order to meet the increase costs in the bond issuances, the sfpuc plans to increase the rates resulting to increases to customer bills by approximately, 8 a month and that is in the fiscal year as i stated 18, 19. And these increased rates were included as part of the sfpuc ten year financial plan, table three. Which is on page 31 of our report, shows the total estimated changes in the sfpuc waste water rates for the next nine years and that is from fiscal year, 16, 17 to fiscal yeerp, 24, 25, we recommend that you do approve this resolution.

Clerk, call item 2 a receive a budget update for 20162017 and 20172018. Thank you very much mr. Clerk and welcome chief joanne hayeswhite and cfo and other members of the Budget Committee a power point i dont know if so it loaded up im going to turn it over to to chief joanne chief joanne hayeswhite we have 11540 role through it to the extent well recognize a busy schedule but heterosexuals at the end a general overview of the operation and a few issues and open up to question the departmental challenges the main challenge facing the Fire Department is deal what population growth and increased demand for services the citys growth will continue with large developments the department over the station 4 in the bayview near at t park as well as we support other issues with regards to homelessness i want to give you a slide on the trend as you can see the population growth has contributed to increased call volume for the department for the most part this is especially in the past two fiscal years resulting in increased demand for Department Services and specifically increased pressure on the ambulance the larger driver is the overall is the medical calls projected increase of 12 percent with regards to medical calls what this meant in light of the Additional Resources there is a strain on the ambulance side as well as the suppression side skim chief. Do you have a further back to the drawing board breakdown for medical calls in terms of what portion overall of your calls relate to alcohol and drugs and Mental Illness issues play out in the streets there are quite a few of the of those calls. Those contribute to a number of the calls ill get that breakdown and give it. Geographically those calls are reoccurring. One of the things we think has been a great support for that is the reimplementation of the program where we have two dedicated captain paramedics so people that call 911 and not the appropriate resource to working closely with the department of Public Health and certainly give you a geographic look and the number of calls recommended to alcohol and drugs. Thank you. Next slide this is something that was provided to you by is Controllers Office so we put in two slides i believe you have it in usual packet regarding the Performance Measures for the Fire Department basically this slide shows you as you may know we had struggles in the sum of 2014 it is our goal to have an ambulance on scene to transport to any of the 9 receiving hospitals were doing much better within 10 minutes to have an ambulance on scene for an emergency so were happy to see the improvement in that area mainly given even though an increase in medical calls and population we have medical resources are showing a positive thing similarly this is not too much of an issue were showing you how the first paramedic on the scene whether in an ambulance or fire munition the threshold to have an advanced life support paramedic within 7 minutes and weve been meeting that goal pretty consistently weve gotten investment as in the economic downturn we appreciate the go back of the board and the Mayors Office in recognizing the need for improvements and investments in the San Francisco Fire Department like i talked about the two dedicated paramedic captains working in alignment with the department of health to address some of the instances youre referring to supervisor wiener weve received additional furnished for more ambulances on the street to address the increased population and call volume and with the local 798 the paramedic is patterned after the hospitals for Research Capacity you can call someone in in a apartment, if you will, a lot of the folks during superbowl week to go maintain our response times throughout the city we continue to have a working groups working closely with the amr and king american the strategic go planning a committee that cuts all across the department and nearly finally draft with tweaks well be proud to present to you in the near future and investing i appreciated our support on it infrastructure much needed in our department that is paid off and continues to pay off and received funding for will recruitment coordinator and some dedicated to work with the Human Resources h. R. And outreach to the community as it relates to recruitment and continues to be one by one one of the most diverse Fire Departments were proud of that and received funding for sorry supervisor tang. I apologize on the recruitment you mentioned a coordinated position it is that in the department. We rested funding in the current year budget and in the latter part of 2016 with lieutenant keith he said have appreciated this hes doing a good job. I dont want to get into this but this is a Budget Hearing this can you please with this position on board to coordinate recruitment what radio some of the hangs you see with the persons helping on that front. So because we entered into the hiring plan in conjunction with the Mayors Office since 2012 were hiring not only retirements but brings our department in line with Staffing Levels more appropriate and have a lessor reliance on overtime firefighter baraka has been helping our department by attending recruitment fairs with dph and once a month in different areas and the different district a night members longer than learn about the Fire Department so generally more outreach to talk about the process to become a firefighter or emt like i said, one of the goals were nearly 20 years which calls for a definition indication as to have a department that is reflective sorry that the community we serve and the workforce we have a number of members both men and women speaking different languages which maybe is less important during a fire call but getting critical medical information be able to call family members is a really good thing. Thank you. With regards to hiring were grateful for the Public Safety hire plan in 2012 but plan to throw 2020 our Division Training a kept busy due to 3 classes we received fell funding we put on an additional class and anticipate hiring approximately 200 plus through 2020 and also to make sure we have adequate sfhsa in the ems division we feel very confident and were grateful for the much needed funding to restore staffing in our department it continue to meet the demands on our services as you may know related to facilities and capital we operate about approximately 50 facilities most twentyfour hour facilities and we want to make sure we have a workplace that is safe theyre working most of them twentyfour hour shifts and as much as of the repair air maintenance has been deferred over 7, 8, 9 fortunately, weve been the recipient from general funds 2010 and 2014 and easter bond and Emergency Response with another currently scheduled to be heard in 2020 or 2021 and in addition june of this year, the health bond will pass were looking forward to building an ambulance deployment facility and continuing the go back if that bond passes as a reminder the Fire Department will be a recipient of 44. 14 for continued fire station upgrades as great i wanted thank you for the opportunity were working with the department of public works we have hundreds of Million Dollars of backlog were currently working with dpw to do a comprehensive assessment of the facilities of our true needs the grond has been huge and an overview of our budget 20162017 and 20172018 this is the second year weve convened a Budget Committee some members with us were grateful for their participation and worked well to have a Budget Committee from all clarifications as well as areas in the department to come up with different ideas about priority tigdz your needs and that has so far been worked well in relation to the budgeted continued the key priorities and this is something im proud of because theres been times we dont agree huge priority by all facets of the department including the administration and Fire Commission and the presence of the Fire Commissioner hartman and of the 798 tom oconnor is here all the rough lean economic years question made sacrifices were all in it together unified asking for doing everything we can to talk about the vehicle replacement plan a plan that went into place in 2009 and passed by the Fire Commission the men and women did a phenomenal job they make that work but out on the street were spending a lot of money to keep safe and maintain similar to the great work the Mayors Office Budget Office were mirror what weve done with the hiring plan we would like to continue to let you you know that San Francisco is unique in so many was hills those are are expensive 5 thousand dollars for a fire truck their worthy their weight negative impact gold we get that not from pointing point a to b but a safety the engine and truck are an interval part how we can be safe performing our jobs we continue to work with the Mayors Office to have a funding plan for the apparatus to recognize and let the members of the Department Ride safely in the newer rigs that are important representative of the rigs that can get around the city i know that supervisor wiener were working closely to modify them to make them as to modify the size of the rigs more agree agreeiilagile were hope those rigs get replaced and push forward it is metabolic and checks the box with vision zero were committed to. Lets see has to do with to do with a training to with the hiring plan and the ems to support all that happens from that division in terms of taking care of the residents and visitors to our city and the last slide i want to highlight present we have representatives for a program im a huge champion as you may know out of the 1989 loma prieta earthquake and had 25 years last year, i want to share the program was awarded the 2016 governs volunteer and serving award for the program of the year we have a wonderful as you may know community of people that are willing to volunteer their time to make that community as safe as possible their messengers for this and that is something we want to continue to maintain trained approximately 25 thousand people and nert is a modeled program id like to acknowledge all the volunteers the Advisory Board another in the matter shelly one and 50 the perfect segue my last comment were produced and thank you for your support of our one hundred and 50 year the Fire Department was a paid professional department in december we have a host of events throughout the year the bottom line to thank the men and women of the department that serve with dedication and make green great skwas sak fizz my cfo worked hard proud member they wear the uniform it is as important we have a website we developed we partnered with the academy of art came up with with logo a kickoff celebration in Union Square Im proud to pass one and 50 years we want to continue to commit to serving our citizens with the level of service theyve come to expect deserve that concludes my presentation. Ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you, chief i want to thank you and your Budget Committee for working hard it an awesome step in the right direction that we have a consensus so thank you i look forward to having those discussions and want to thank the nert members many of the folks were founding members of nert im very happy to see that continue and thanks for all your support supervisor yee. Thank you chair farrell for the presentation chief chief joanne hayeswhite in regards to the trucks whats the general Life Expectancy of those vehicles. So supervisor yee theres National Fire protection guidelines for any given city in america the fire trucks that carry the hose the recommendations from the National Fire protection they dont have theyre not a front line after 10 years of service and the fire aerial truck that not steady 15 years in front line apparatus that far exceed those guidelines. And these guidelines are based on flat to rate. Absolutely so 10 years is a stated that is established whether youre in phoenix which is flat or in San Francisco the hills kind of a medium fulsome weve gotten the most use of apparatus i than any city in america were spending a lot of money taking them to shop for maintenance. Whats your average sort of age of our fleet. I actually have a spreadsheet from the early 1990s from the apparatus and trucks over the 10 years. Were due to replace them. We had a replacement plan on the books, if you will, since 09 and understanding the city had an economic crisis not about placing blame or going back there but moving forward we see that an opportunity and obligation really to provide our members with more safe modern equipment like i said, it addresses the issues from think economic prospective and other things agrile our specifications have changed because of the need for more safely to in fact, navigate there the street. I was imagining there was a call for engines to put out a fire and also that engine stops two blocks away from the go fire station so this is one Budget Committee member we supported aggressively for the replacement plan. Thank you. I have one other you didnt mention a program like a police cadet can you talk about that and who we what its like and how many people from San Francisco are actually entering that. Sure so a San Francisco Fire Department reserve Program Different than a police cadet you have to think 18 years of age and volunteer only program we have about 50 active members and our reserves they dont great work they arrive on scene at greater alarms morning of egress to assist with the fire ground reloading hospitals for the firefighters and just working in conjunction to support the operation and they go through a Training Program oftentimes reserves that are interested in taking the test and end up becoming firefighters or emts we support the work by and large of the Firefighter Association the fire academy is like the Police Departments program in that they target youth i believe High School Age between 14 and 18 and talk to them about the career in the fire service but also more about the importance of kind of life skills being on time and properly wearing uniform with pride and give them first aid and fire skills and give them sort of a snapshot of what is it like to be a firefighter thats the program we work with the black firefighters but per say not a Cadet Program with regards to the would the members of the reserve reflect pretty much the young people population of San Francisco. Id like yes. The average age is early to mid 20s for a fire reserve. Are they ethically. Yes. And beginning to be with the Fire Department looks like. Thank you very much. Supervisor wiener. Thank you and we have been talking to the department and the Mayors Office about the vehicle age issues and i think their unacceptable condition of the vehicles in the department i know that the department is working with the Mayors Office to come up with a funding plan to gradually bring the fleet to where it needs to be in terms of National Standards were working on prevention to try to set the standards for San Francisco as well as codifying the work the department is doing in terms of making sure the trucks will be agile in narrow city streets and move in that direction with the vision zero goals and so were waiting to see what comes out of departments discussions with the Mayors Office but i think really is critically important that we invest in the fleet and that we have vehicles that are really up to the task of Public Safety issue. Thank you. All right. Colleagues, any further questions or comments okay. Thank you, chief and thank you, mr. Corso and thank you for being here well be back latter in the budget season thank you for coming appreciate it open up for Public Comment first anyone wish to comment on item 2. Good evening supervisors my name is jeff ive been a proud member for 26 years as you may know members of our Department Railway speak at meetings regarding the budget i feel ill speak about the aging fleet our engines and trucks as stated the agency that sets National Standards in our entry to the length of time the equipment should be left in Service Important to note the recommendation forage or front line apparatus it 10 years they represented an apparatus between 10 and 15 years only be in a relief states u status thats a back up their clear any apparatus over 15 years should be removed from the fleet those standards were you made without the consideration of the typography and run volume we experience this is the reason i address you today over 50 percent of our front line fleet 50 percent is over 15yearold were presenting spending 500,000 maintaining our anchoring fleet each month is this the approximate the cost of a new engine and this brings me to my final points the budget our fleet includes outline vehicles if point a to b. The total vehicle budget not the city last year between 10 and 15 million i believe our fleet has to be removed from the vehicle wuktd u budget were comparing apples and oranges our vehicle aerial ladders are 900,000 a generous give of one to 3 million is not scratching the surface those get us if point a to b theyre also the equipment that we put water on the fire and raise an aerial ladder from a person from a burning building i think youll agree some things we cant miss on thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Mr. Oconnor. Tom oconnor president of the San Francisco firefighters im here, here to echo what were here to ask you for isnt more or better but the pencil and tools to do our job and as you can see from the operational charged call volume is over 31 percent over the decade one the cranes come down and the keys to the Office Buildings that causes an increase expeditiously i support the needs for equipment and restate our battalion chief and specialists to manage more and more complex incidents and training positions to staff and train the new people were hiring and as demonstrated last weekend the tragic ocean beach two teenagers lives were lost we need to think about a dedicated recuse unit for the increasing population so thank you for your time and consideration and looking forward to future confuses. Anyone wish to comment okay seeing none, Public Comment is closed thank you for everyone within the department of working together this is helpful like my colleagues im supportive of this Fleet Program that has been discussed i think that is Public Safety is paramount we no idea to support this here so look forward those those continuing discussions with that, claergsz colleagues can i entertain a motion to continue to the call of the chair without objection thank you mr. Clerk would you call item 3. Item 3 hearing to receive the hearing budget update with 20162017 and 20172018 a executive officer well be calling occ and ms. Hicks afterwards but chief suhr thank you for being here. Thank you budget chair committee i want to thank captain my cfo and assistant carolyn for putting together this presentation as always this couldnt get down moving into the presentation first 5 demonstrates all funds revenue and our budget for 20162017 this includes 51 in the Public Safety tax the balance of a combination of other grants from various safety programs so this slide is pretty selfexaminationy theyre all this make ups the lions share of our salary and fringe and the supplies and services by other departments make up the difference some of those work orders obviously goes to the airport they have an entire San Francisco Police Department bureau they also fund two xruts and pay for their own smart phones we implemented years ago and the mta work order is Million Dollars and see the work orders make up the difference as you mean were in the middle of a large hire the large of hiring weve been in this reflects the positions total ftes funded about 2 nine hundred and 88 that includes civilians if we go to the next slide is beaked breakdown it as you may know 19 hundred and 71 fleet officers the reason it show us 2200 budgeted plus we have about three hundred officers that are in some stage of other than full duty that could be at the academy we mentioned by the airport and then whether it is family leave or disability or temporary modified duty the administrative leave that explains the difference this next mislead again every year since implemented i actually have the tuesday for your support and for the mayors leadership on that i think there is animosity a member on the board didnt want for Police Officers for their districts as quickly as possible weve had the trailing line your action in 2012, we now be below 15 hundred officers instead were quickly climbing towards 19 hundred and 71 we but put in our fist Academy Class on the accelerated hiring plan i spoke to the class in april so with this accelerated plan as you can see were hoping to get to full staffing by the imagined of 2017 whereas the plan that was originally adopted in envelope wouldnt have goal us to the stage until the end of 2018 were on track i have to thank Mickey Callahan and others for the 24 7 online application period that replaced what was a very archaic that electricity what San Francisco looks like were a Police Department that looks like San Francisco a Police Department everyone seize themselves in the Police Department at every rank i think that is critical to our success. Chief supervisor wiener. Thank you, mr. Chair a couple of things first of all, as i know youre aware last year the board of supervisors did adopt a resolution making that city policy were hiring goal is somewhere between 2200 officers i know the charter is 1971 but the board of supervisors voted to go beyond that to reflect the fact that 1971 number was set by Dianne Feinstein when had close to two hundred thousand people in the city well have areas not residential neighborhood that are now residential neighborhoods fewer daytime population so i want to suggest for future presentations that be noted that the board of supervisors did make that official city policy the 2200 number now how many full Duty Officers are there today, i cant tell by the graph. Thank you go to the next slide weve hired 8 hundred and 76 Police Officers since 2012 what we did as you may know with the sunset have reported retirements at the same time 6 housing unit and 15 so right now fuel duties 18 hundred and 6 so depending on retirements and the hire that is how we get to this estimate we should be at 1971 number we appreciate the recognition by the board that we could well use more officers but we still have 200 officers im a chief wouldnt know what the 1971 offenders or officers in terms of the hire not fall off at a low points 4200 he now 18 hundred im starting to get responses from captains and Community Meetings their can put a beat officer somewhere it was embarrassing before a beat officer went on leave and couldnt be replaced when were back to 1971 more but in terms of providing a level of service i think that San Francisco expects having a robust beat officer Program People see Police Officers walking in their neighborhood and Robust Traffic is worse than 1971 aint going to cut it thats why the board made the pre1971. Supervisor we appreciate those officers coming back are the beat officers and anybody we get back on top of will going to the same effort i know that the people that on the board and the mayor wants to see Police Officers present and readily available. I think sometimes, the this came up on the debate on the resolution he asked you any member of the board of supervisors not asked you to have more Police Officers present in the district and the answer was no everyone asked for more policemen but we have divisions on the board whether we should be hiring enough officers to do that so this is a disconnect sometimes more offers no my be district but dont want to be the to hire officers but taking more officers out of your neighborhood into our district keep in mind. Thank you, mr. Supervisor. I put this next slide in there i want you to note when we are at the low points supervisor wiener the officers did work with me to Energy Scheduling changes and many officers knew theyll have to go away from the 10 hour day were were having trouble radiologist up 200 and 66 officers since then and restored some of the officers back to a 10 hour day we will be able to put the balance of those officers in special operations back to the 10 hour day, however, officers are assigned to administrative positions will remain on the 8 hour day as a standard shift for an administrative assignment supervisor yee you were asking chief joanne hayeswhite about their Cadet Program argue Cadet Programs are robust we reinstated the p l program on for High School Kids and in 2011, 2012 that continues to be a very, very good program all city kids volunteer and then when we get to the point theirs off to college in a partnership with salesforce ceo benioff we have more cadets many, many successful Police Officers chief fong and captain bruce and others Railroad Police cadets before he they were leader our beat programs is reflective of the city and those young people are really helping us working on projects we try to reengineer the way we use force and increase transparency and be a good and better Police Department. Supervisor avalos join us you have a question. Thank you and i appreciate making some time for me to come in with questions and chief welcome to Budget Committee i had a couple questions regarding Staffing Levels i wanted to see cleared up i actually want to ask the Controllers Office to provide analysis as well i think i saw that were reaching the staffing level that was mandated in the 90s but on trajectory for next june. 1806 they should be in the academy and out next year. There was a statement i saw on the slide i dont have in front of me three hundred officers that are not on the streets not in the airport but. Yeah. In some other stage of capacity other than fulltime. I saw that three hundred number was something that was kind of a ball park finger figure you have staffing that is not on the street on patrol that is the first time ive heard that number to me thats a key number to move staff into the field you know, i think i saw the three hundred number generally, you have three hundred staff at not on desk duty either returning from illness or whatever. How long. It is not three hundred right now it is closer to two hundred but when it is in the state of fluctuation between two to three officers are in some stage of status not on administrative assignment those officers again, we chased all the officers we could from administrative assignment to practical with scheduling changes like pretty much every agency and department in the city we have officers that are unfortunately false sidewalks situations we hopefully only for a short time and status less than fulltime duty. I understand i never seep that number before ill be doing is asking the Controllers Office to assess the 1971 number and also this number that fluctuates between two and three people how that has been you know calculated in the past ive not seen this before the Budget Finance Committee in the past but different circumstances people are in this educate but like to hear i mean, i asking can hear offline what policies and procedures but others will have decisions about the status but it is important to know what are the policies to move people into full i want to say that number is discussed annually during the presentation there is a number i try to explain why were low even it is what it is also supervisor wiener had mentioned a resolution that was passed by the board of supervisors that the board of supervisors by a majority vote had authorized or said we would like to see a larger mrovk above the 1971 number i want to make sure that resolution was not passed unanimously was not passed without controversy and the policy that was put in place was bays the size of Police Department on the population of San Francisco when we voted on that resolution i had requested the budget analyst to do a report one of the best practices for looking staffing and in Police Department and Population Based staffing was one of the things not considered to be a real critical way to set the Staffing Levels it was more luke to assess you know the deployment measures and other practices that are in the field that leads to those Staffing Levels so the above the 1971 number i believe the city needs to deliberate on certainly i made a commenting commitment with every colleague on the board of supervisors to unanimously support 5 academy a classes to the 1971 nuke i want to make sure that is what it is clear were working towards we were doing the same resolution about the Population Based it likely wouldnt have passed with the configuration of the board of supervisors but i believe were still in this controversial area what the actual Staffing Levels but were in agreement of 1971 so thats why i want to get to the controllers question how we assess getting to that number and have a common understanding of the 1971 number is ill be asking for that thats a headsup. Okay. So the supervisor yee. Oh, a couple of comments yes, thank you for reisnt it true the police Cadet Program for people that grew up in San Francisco the police Cadet Program has been around a long time i was recruited i wasnt good enough but thats besides the fact. Our loss. But when i saw people like myself from the community entering those programs and becoming Police Officers you mentioned chief fong, of course, shes came way after a was recruited and to have it program again and to have people from our communities entering this pathway or having a pathway anguish like 100 percent behind it id like to see more if possible i do have a question about how were budgeting. Im sorry. Budgeting looking at our slight slide 6 at the bottom it says budgeted of 2000, 200 and 41 because the part that i have questions about is if were not fully be up to the 1971 until the end of 2017 will we be making adjustments so that the budget is not two inflated in terms of youre not paying for people that are not there yet thats the question. Supervisors Katherine Maguire San Francisco Police Department as you may know recruits are paid once they start at the academy so the fact they are not full duty while theyre in the Academy Takes away from the 1971 number but it means we still have that position funded under the 2241 number so starting in youll see we need all the funds to peaking pay for the recruits and the full 2241 starch left and any and i transition we make it in our budget presentation. Okay. I want to know the chief said in the last class in 2017 are the numbers that will bring us up to 1971 if it class didnt happen until june we 0 dont have the one hundred people to pay. It is scaleable how much of that salary is kids against which fiscal year as we go into fiscal year 20172018 everybody will be back. When we look at. It will be an adjusted presentation. Im going to also maybe from put my 0. 02 in the number before 1971 did we cuss discuss youre saying at the end of 2017 so that would have been two years in the past Going Forward would have been two years and i would you know im very supportive and ive said it we need to look at it and i know this is a Budget Hearing but we really need to look at what the actual numbers mean besides population and so forth so indeed we need more Police Officers we dont know until we had a better study ill be inclined to support a better analysis not to say cut it it would be we actually need more so thats my statement on that. Okay. Thank you supervisor yee supervisor kim. Thank you chair farrell and you know, i have not served on the Budget Committee for a few years i know when i was on the Budget Committee before conversation that came up a lot was some of this has been addressed over the last couple of years the organization requests on this board and recommended and so that answer didnt have to be today, im curious how the Police Department has been working towards civilian ingress situations we dont need to train the Police Officers and it the department has made ahead way we want the officers on the street patrolling as we hire for officers closer to the 1971 numbers those numbers are officers dedicated to Public Safety so thats one question and the second question i have i know that continues to be something that we bring up and certainly i care about in terms of our outreach in exist and local hire to be local residents to be hired they understand our city those are great Employment Opportunities we want our residents to assess those positions we cant require or set a baseline im sure youll have that work going on as well. Im happy to put out a more thorough report i know that was a particular keen issue for formerly budget director chiu, i think youll see we made a lot of progress in that area as far as focusing on young people all at knead programs a lot of the outreach our summer jobs are concentrated on the high schools in San Francisco because it is pretty much who live in San Francisco and look like San Francisco so were very, very great deal aggressively in the schools some of the kids were hired in 1994 for the First Jobs Program in the mission are now Police Officers the cadets that become Police Cadets in the academy that farm system fulsome u, if you will, of the public high schools in San Francisco is actually the bulwark of our recruiting efforts to get young people from San Francisco into the Police Department we agree they make the best Police Officers for San Francisco. And you dont have to have the numbers day im curious of the numbers of the beat program that make it through the academy and become Police Officers. Maybe i can tell you who is in and planning to be in. That would be great. Our next slide on Body Worn Cameras none can get Body Worn Cameras nobody wants them out fast enough they were funded in last years budget thank you very much the department drafted a Body Worn Camera policy for the Police Commission the Police Commission lead a collaborative process and adopted it that policy was voted on in the current draft 6 to one and in the required process between city h.

Ill take any for the purpose questions. Thank you very much chief any questions for the chief. Okay. Thank you. Being here looking forward to working on the budget this year with that, id like to call of joyce hicks from the office of complaints i know she has a small slide to walk through with us good afternoon supervisor farrell and members the committee im joyce hicks the executive director of the San Francisco office of complaints and chair farrell pointed out a small slide deck the first slide shows how occ expenditures are allocated 92 percent of occ budget is for personal expenditures moving to the next slide smorz shows a comparison between 20152016 the baseline for next year and the property enhancements the following slide shows why the occ needs the enhancements and that would be to accommodate officerinvolved shooting investigations and also the increased workload that will occur once Body Worn Cameras are implemented and the investigators are reviewing the footage from the Body Worn Cameras to evaluate them in conducting their investigations in addition the for the enhancements the okay will need additional staff a budget for training and Additional Office space were busting at the seams as well as equipment including Faster Computers and laptops when the office of complaints conducts an investigation of an officerinvolved shooting the investigation requires much more staff time the investigator is immediately removed from in take the investor is for the receiving more cases and the investigators have to assume the in takes encourage 3 for the officerinvolved shooting investigations their caseload are about 50 percent of the aot other investigators caseload did 3 who are investigating officerinvolved shooting have a caseload of 13 and the others 28 as you may know from the controller 2007 report analyzing the occ operations 16 cases is best practices for an occ investigator should the charter all the time to the administrative code be adopted by the voters where the occ would conduct investigations in all officerinvolved shootings that would be up to a 5 fold increase in officerinvolved shooting investigations excuse me real quick supervisor tang. So you mentioned there are encourage 3 investigators to who work on officerinvolved shooting cases it and say in the presentation im curious let us know in terms of the ftes nltd of the proposed Charter Amendments the future answer to our question those there are other investigators who are also assigned to officerinvolved shootings from from time to time so there, there is not a particular investigator at the occ who specifically it dedicated for officerinvolved shootings, however, the occ is looking for an additional 6 staff persons senior investigator as well as 5 line investigators the 6 plus the 5 specifically for officerinvolved shootings or for they can handle others types of investigations as well. Theyre not specifically for officerinvolved shootings this is a way for the occ to handle all of the cases. Okay. Thank you. And moving to Body Worn Cameras the occ also anxiously awaiting the Body Worn Cameras for the Police Department but we know that that is going to increase the time it takes to complete an investigation because of review of the footage that will have to be done by the investigator that will require in addition to equipment upgrades and increased that training time also an enhancement to the training budget so we, insure our investigators are trained both properly for officerinvolved shootings as well as the all of its investigations. One thing the okay has not been able to take advantage of in the voter majority of its cases youre going Transcription Services for the interviews that the investigators conduct the investigators at the occ conduct over one thousand interviews a year the way that they currently handle memorializing those interviews which are recorded in our database they summarize them and enter those summaries best practices will provide that we use a Transcription Service and this is particularly important in our higher profile cases as well as cases that we sustain and so we would want to enhance our professional services to provide for transcription and then finally the topic of vehicles is an issue for the occ as well we curling have two vehicles one of them is 16yearold the other one is two years old and with our current investigation staff two vehicles are simply not enough the occ investigators need to do fold work and most recent officerinvolved shootings the investigators took a car out to canvas the neighborhood and their was a meeting the same day the other car was in the shop were under resource with the vehicles and finally Deputy Director Eric Balthazar the chief of the investigations stand here today does have a car dedicated he takes home he roles out to officerinvolved shootings no matter when they occur, of course, when he is in the office the car is available but one of two cars so that concludes my report. Excuse me thank you, ms. Hicks i know there is a lot to discussion you discuss with our budget just to be clear the basis of our budgets and enhancements did you submit that enhanced budget. Yes. The Mayors Office is looking that and balancing with the other asks. Okay. Thank you very much colleagues, any questions. Comments okay. Thank you i know we have a lot to discuss thank you for being here well see you back shortly. Thank you very much. Colleagues if not other questions or comments open up for Public Comment to item 3 anyone wish to comment on this item. Okay seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Colleagues a motion to continue to the call of the chair without objection mr. Clerk, call item 4 a hearing to receive a budget urban design from the Sheriffs Department fiscal year 20162017 and 20172018. Okay. Thank you very much again colleagues as i mentioned well continue this item so first take Public Comment anyone wish to comment on item 4 seeing none, Public Comment is closed colleagues california i have a motion to continue it to the call of the chair objection . Mr. Clerk, is there any additional business to come before this body . That plain clothes the agenda. Thank you, everybody. Were i was able to issue the violation for a long time as some of you may remember based on a complaint i received, i was able to go out using the ambient measurements. They were in violation of the sound ordinance 20909 and a few other Good Neighbor policies. The other initiatives at public works are working on existing sound proofing on working with interfacing with the neighbor and the establishment trying to move that along as quickly as possible and they were foind in violation of code 2909 this past weekend. I was able to get an ambient measurement the previous week and they were in violation this past weekend. Three citations in total for a good number of policy violations. Four of them in total. The director and i met with the operator today in the office. And we discussed some possible solutions on a security end to bring some of the issues to a close. With two othecitations for the events that were brought up in our last hearing on february 26th and 27, at the armory, one citation for 50 and one for 100. One for ambient reading events. I did investigate a complaint. There is quite an interesting situation going on there. We have a building that is for sale. No one has yet moved in nor purchased it and we are already getting a complaint. So unsure. Its the first i think for the inspectors. Correct me if i am wrong. I will give you an update as i have more. That wraps it up for me. Commissioners, any questions . Okay. I did mention the citations for the armory. I believe i told you all individually about the memo that i handed out. I wanted to make sure there werent any questions there. I did bring along some documentation for flyers ticketing sites, there is some documentation that i used in the memo. I have supporting documentation if anyone is interested in seeing that or discussing it further. I have a question, in your memo, it states that a check showed a balance for the armory on the 26 and 27 . The 13 was part of a two night event promoted called led presents at the armory. I have a flyer. February 12th and february 13. Th. We did give a permit for february 12th. I want you to know that that memo is 2sided. The back would be helpful in the line of questioning. To answer your question, the two process issued on then at entertainment are completely different. Unless its done by two agencies. Necessary there was someway to integrate those two processes, there is no way to do what you just said. Could we ask abc to put a stipulation on the license. These are temporary 1 day licenses and they are issued to in many cases a variety of different people asking for them. So, i dont know, we can ask abc anything. I dont think that would really be i dont know that it would work. I look at our penalty of 50. It a business where its going to cost you only 50, but if they violate a stipulation that they put on there. I understand that its pretty hard to get a Government Agency to follow our rules. As you said they put out a lot of 1 day permits that have nothing to do with entertainment. I dont know how we can get them to put that in there. Maybe more of an interesting exercise to find a way to make fines more relevant to the violation. My thing is to not get more money for the city but to get people to play nice with us and follow the rules. Okay. Any other questions . Okay. Inspector pauley. Good evening commissioners, we made several stops in the last week. They are slowing down their operations. They have some issues with the permitting as going on with abc and also with the Entertainment Commission. They have been pretty quiet lately. There have been some issues and fine and otherwise compliant. I stopped by hue nightclub on broadway and talked to the Venue Management and security about a smoking section that is located in front of their businesslike during their operation or whatever. One of the issues they had was that it was clogging the sidewalks. They did it because they were directed to by the one of the sergeants out there from sf p. D. There were some issues around there as to whether it should be there or in the alley. We talked about it and i bet the best course of action whether this want the smoking section as opposed to the side. There is first thing i would want them do is talk to his neighbors to talk about how they feel about it because its going to come up at some point. Well see and well be getting back to them. I made a stop by holy cow this weekend and observe the sound, the patron management, and interaction. They have been doing promotions lately and they were in compliance. Big bob, we got a complaint regarding noise after hours. I stopped by the area to assess the situation after 2 00 a. M. When all the other venues shutdown. B box has extended hours. I did not observe anything in the two stops that i made after 2. Nonetheless i will be stopping pretty regularly. Its an item on the list because of the amount of complaints weve gotten over the last month. New complaints, hawthorne, 46 geary street. This is an on going issue, something we have been dealing for a while, same complainant. The building that the complainant is in is about two 2 stories down from the venue. Its an sro building. I talked with the complainant to talk about whats going on with the interior of the unit. He didnt want to cooperate with that, usually in that case, it makes it hard to do any kind of enforcement work, but i was able to get a hold of the landlord and i will be able to do some kind of testing. Because of the amount of test and the complaints, i want to get in there. They are cooperating with this and this weekend i will do a sound inspection and see if there is any compliance issue that needs to be dealt with the managed management of the venue. New complaint in folsom. I havent talked to the complainant. I will be following up with that particular item. Clear born kitchen, they have a small place. They applied for a limited live permit a couple months ago. After readjusting their entertainment plan, they were granted for llb. There were no complaints, but basically a lot of complaints leading into the hearing. So, they are having an issue with the same neighbor. The issue is its noisy. The stereo. I went in there to assess the situation and see whats going on. They have their speakers in the structure in the wall. Usually there is some baffling that cuts down on the sound that escapes to the structure. There is no baffling. Its not well done. So basically i told the manager if i keep getting complaints i will be out here and it will get ugly and i dont want to be out here so many times for a simple fix. I recommended he remove the speakers from the wall. He said it would be fine. We are waiting to see what happens with that. If everything goes well, it will resolve itself. If not, it may come back to commission. I imagine it will come to staff first and well bring staff to talk about that. If not, maybe they have to come back in front of the commission. I dont think its that serious yet. I will let you know notice of it. One notice on 530 jackson street, a violation about the sidewalks and the general noise around their operation. I talked to the owner about cleaning it up. It seemed like it was Getting Better and this was around 1 20 a. M. Usually around sidewalk traffic about 1 45, there is normal fair, but 1 20 you are not moving people along. It has been a regular stop since the complaints. If you have any questions, i will be happy to answer them. Commissioners . They just kind of let out when ever they want. Right. I know the permit only goes to a certain point. Im not exactly sure. [inaudible] have you suggested an area where they can smoke rather than have them on the sidewalk with the neighbors can you adjust your mic. Again. The crowding of the sidewalk. Is there a way that you can maybe suggest that they you know have a little designated area closer to the building because i drive by this all the time and they are on the street. Once the permit is over, its out of our purview. So the main thing that we were dealing at the time when i talked to the manager and the complainant was at the end of the night and people leaving. So, what the manager agreed to do, hes always on site, what he agreed to do is move people down the block so the uber and taxis can pick patrons up down to i think its washington because there is less residents that way. That was the idea, but i guess. Thats at the end. To answer your question, we didnt talk about that, but i will. Thank you for mentioning that. What is on either side . A travel agent on one. A restaurant on the other side. But there is a lot of mixed use kind of buildings and there is residences spread out. The smoking is the issue. Doesnt the ordinance say you have to be 25 feet from a door or window or at the curb or if you cant do that, so, its a densely populated neighborhood. Its hard to get people to go out and smoke 25 feet away and monitor that. I agree. So, i have basically i havent been, you know, anytime im out, i assess, you know the venue or whatever is going on and i try not to push too hard on things that you know there is a reasonable reason why they need to do something if the logistics doesnt allow them to follow everything i would want to recommend normally. Im conscious of the general issues in the area. So i dont push them so hard. In this case its early and they can do something about it. It was like 30 people out there. Not maybe 10 or 15. Okay. Thank you. Anybody else . Okay, is there Public Comment on the reports of our sound inspectors . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Item 4 on our agenda is Police Department comments and questions. Im not chair if its vicepresident. These arent necessarily Police Department concerns but these are Entertainment Industry in the Small Business industry was bringing up concerns about starbucks and taco bell and nontraditional abc retailers entering the San Francisco county market. There has been development that we want to update you with and one which is a very significant accomplishment that the board of supervisors unanimously sent to the governor a nonbinding resolution requesting that the govern or and abc take a look at this issue and discourage bringing new sectors not having abc looking at dispensed products and prior to that vote, the friday before starbucks elected to withdraw all of their applications in San Francisco county. They are currently electing to take pause and take a closer look at their longterm strategies for our county and for the time being that is off our plate. So i just wanted to share that update with the commission. Yay thank you. Thank you. Any Public Comment on Police Department. Questions and comments . Okay. Moving on to our consent calendar so the items on our consent calendar have to do with the subcommittee. I will make a quick comment because im not going to talk about this specifically since they are consent items unless there are questions specifically in which case we have to move the item from consent. In general, these are two items that were projects that were described and discussed at length and they were both moved out with conditions. I think i included those for your review as well as the map and the project sponsor form to look at. I would encourage you if you have not gone to the rdr, they meet once a month and so you can see what they are looking at prior to voting on consent. Is there Public Comment on our Consent Agenda . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners . Is there a motion . I motion to approve. We have a motion to approve. Do we have a second. We have a motion and second. Clerk, please call the roll. [roll call vote taken] the next item on the agenda. Timothy language this is for a place for the bar which obtained a permit from 2011 from a location which is on Second Street and they are in the process of moving over 65 post treat. This is the same owner and they plan to keep the existing bar concept. Its primarily an after work destination in the financial district. It will be used for art openings as well as private parts and well have djs including poetry and small live bands. There is three conditions they recommend with the final page in the packet. And to tell you more about the bar are michael and tim. Great. Hello, commissioners, my name is timothy landregan. Im one of the bar owners. I have a handout. This helps to go over why we are moving and what we intend to do and give you information on our background and concept. We began gouddou and we began our position and we have many local events, tech start ups and banks pharmaceuticals, they come in groups of 510 people at one time or they call and make reservations for large parties. Over 70 of our business is 7 00 a. M. To 7 00 p. M. Our other line of business have more of the entertainment piece to it. The first is that we have hosted many, we usually do them over a month over 100 art events. We hosted art shows with artist that live around the world. Japan, england, to name a few and many of our artist are local in the San Francisco bay area and west coast in general. Many of them are graduates including our local programs and the Welding Program in west oakland. We just stantd a relationship with them last fall. Our other line of business is entertainment. For that is, most of that is on a private party function basis. We get a basic reservation, and we close up the shop for that particular event t most common one is a birthday or Going Away Party or anniversary and right now at our Current Location which is 86 Second Street in a 1200 smaller place but where we are moving we can triple the size. For these large events be it art related events or parties, its typically getting their own dj basically spinning records. Sometimes we have someone with a mic and just wants to talk and then comedians and sometimes its political. They have speakers. Our name comes from the gouddou movement. So why are we moving . For starters, we lost our lease. We had a 10year lease in our existing place and we didnt negotiate a space. The building we are in has three commercial space and retail space on the ground level. We are in the middle and our understanding from the Management Company is that the owner of the building intense intends to lease the building for a restaurant. Also bigger reason we need more space. We are limited to about 50 capacity. We are able to reach out and have more functions. We lose a lot of our business because we cant accommodate more than 50 people. The last thing to where we are moving to is the mechanics institute. They are an historic concept like we are. They are in the west coast. We brought several of our mechanics institute, ralph, and jerry and the board of directors. This is part of the group coming together and leader in sponsoring literary events. In terms of whats going to be different with the move. The short answer is nothing. We are keeping our concept the same, the ownership is going to continue, mike and i have been doing it for 10 years. Our staff is the same. We may have additional staff because of the additional size. I wanted to add that we had several people with us for over 5 years. We have 3 years, 5 years, a long term staff. In terms of community outreach, i will say that gouddou is a global concept. Our art has originated all over as i explained a second ago. I do expect this to continue. We reach out to our primary Customer Base. One of our long customers, bill schaffer. Before gouddou and he was with us before. It seems every time we have an art show, his office is literally on the same block to the business where we are moving. That said, weve reached out to the primary and they have all said they will support us in this location. Right now we are on Second Street and marsh. We are across from the gallery. Its downstairs. We are in a downtown location. Our zoning at the new location is downtown and the commercial and primary uses for offices and retail. There is one place on the block. That is 690 Market Street. We havent done a lot of outreach. In our persons, we are the concept that try to reach out and say everyone is welcome here. We have a high location. In terms of security, we are going to follow the same plan that we have today. Upscale for the size and id checkers at the fire exit. All of our employees are trained, that includes security, trainers and bar and support staff. We are present for all large nighttime events and entertainment and we will period of time Police Department request notify the Police Commission in advance for entertainment and well continue to uphold our Good Neighbor policy. Weve never had any incident because we take great pride in our operation. So i dont want to cause any issue with the neighbors. We will always continue to abide by the conditions of the Police Department. In conclusion, nothing has changed. The staff is the same. The Current Location and our proposed location is literally. 2 miles. We are incident free. We fully expect that to continue. Thank you. Commissioners, any questions for the applicant . Commissioner perez . Yeah, i have two questions. One of the request from Public Health, they are denying this. That is an error in process. The department will follow up again when they are ready for their inspection. Thats what they sent out when they receive the permit application. Early april 1st we did open up our department of Public Health permit. We havent done the buildout in waiting to get the clearance to get approval for what we want to do. Architects have completed all of their drawings. We are waiting for dbi and all the players from the other departments. Another question . Regarding your public outreach. You said that you talked to all of your neighbors, including businesses. Do you have any evidence of that . No. Its all been word of mouth because its all of our continued patrons as we are letting them know that we are going to continue our lease. Its the people we are sharing who are Customer Base. What about future neighbors, did you get a chance the talk to them . We can talk to, a lot of our businesses that are in support now are in that area. Next door mechanics is one of our primary customer basis. We do Christmas Parties with them with different offices. The only residential building on our block is 690 Market Street. Thats the ritz carlton resident. That we have not reached out. It may not be a Customer Base for us. It might not be a Customer Base for you but that maybe an issue for theirs. Can i get a confirmation from you . Absolutely. Okay. Any other questions . Okay. Why dont have a seat and well open for Public Comment. Im ralph from the mechanics institutes. Today we have 800 member. Its a very democratic place. Anybody can become a member. We are a cultural hub. If i can pass this out to the commissioners. The chronicle just wrote an article in october to say we are really emerging. Really the gouddou part to become an institute. We own the building. Its creating who comes into the building in terms of renting space. We have many writers and so its really becoming a cultural hub for San Francisco. We think having the dada bar will help us become even better. It reflects the values we have which are to foster the community and really get people to get together and talk about ideas with great ideas and authors. We are looking forward to having them join mechanics institute. Thank you. Is there any other Public Comment . I have the Library Director and i have 4 Years Experience at the library. I think this is a good fit for us and rob laid out that we are a great cultural hub and this will be a great fit to the mechanics institute. Thank you. Any other Public Comment . Public speaker hi. Im bill schaffer. A San Francisco native. Indini. We are located at 68 Market Street which is around the corner from where dada will be. I have been a dada patron for 14 years. I attend the majority of their events. We are looking forward to being able to hold much larger events there because our community is such that we have those that are involved in the Entertainment Industry we do tend to go out in larger groups. The new space at dada will allow us to have larger groups there. With my whole time attending events at dada, they respect the community and its a pleasure working with these guys. Any other comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners . On poe for dada bar, is there a motion . I make a motion that we approve what the Police Departments recommendations. We have a motion, do we have a second . We have a motion and second. Any further discussion . Call the roll. Colleagues, can we take this item same house same call. Without objection this item is approved. Next item on our agenda looks like vince lau. This is for Fiddlers Green of sf. The new owners under the previous owner plan to keep the original irish theme and operations and entertainment. They will have Entertainment Daily until 2 00 a. M. Including traditional irish mud music. And here to tell you a little bit more are the owners. This is vince and colm. Thank you, maggie. As maggie alluded to earlier, we are trying to stick to the same aspects of this bar. This bar has been there for a quarter of a decade. Everybody going by is really sad the see it closed. They are happy to see it back open and love to see what was once held with its entertainment. We make sure is well maintained and nice and clean. The people look forward to its opening in the coming weeks and well be joining part of the community. As maggie alluded to earlier, weve been in touch with Sf Entertainment Commission and their recommendations. Im sorry, Police Department coordinating with the Entertainment Commission to implement their recommendations. Thank you. Commissioners, any questions of the applicant . Can you tell me some of your background . Have you been working at this place before or a new owner buying the business . We have been in a relationship with the owner of that business. Have you been in the business . Myself not in the business, but the owner, my father operated there previously. So there is a lot of knowledge and interest in keeping this place open. So the current staff that, im not familiar with the place. I know the location, but is the current staff that you have you are keeping. Is there a manager . The current staff well interview some of them and we plan to bring in new staff going through the whole certification process to make sure cards are issued and bringing in the general manager who has been in this bar business for quite a while. Thats why hes one of the partners and hes helping with the renovation as well at this moment. So i guess the question is how much experience is the person thats going to be there everyday . Sure. We will have employees that have over a decade of experience at least and myself and other partners with a combined experience of almost as long as this bar has been opened. The supervisors . The supervisors are going to have at least a decade of experience. We are going to bring in a very experienced staff and to make sure that everyone will be trained properly. So, there is not going to be inexperienced staff running this bar. We dont want to give the impression that staff is placed with people that dont know what they are doing. A new business is overwhelming sometimes. For sure, thank you. Commissioners, any other questions . Do you have bar experience . I own a Construction Company and i build bars and restaurants for a living. I have been around this for 15 years now. I have been involved. Other than being a customer, have you ever run a bar . I have never run a bar, but i know the whole ins and outs of it from building a bar. I have a question for both of you. How do you know who you are hiring if you have no background . The people we have hired have over 10 years of experience . 10 years of experience where doing what . At the moment hes running kiz ar bar. Its a sports bar . Yes. I will be able to talk to the owner there. Okay, that makes me feel a little better. Have you ever worked in a bar . I have. You have . What have you done in a bar . Bar tending . Yeah. You have bar tend . I have in the past and modeling over the years. Remodeling a bar does not equate to anything about operating a bar. Its different. Im just saying that i have seen a lot as well. Thank you. Anybody else have any questions . On your application, you said no that you have not reached out to any neighbors, is that correct . We have correspondence. Of course like i said with the cbd, laura, we plan to meet with her. Our place is under renovation at the moment. So as we get closer to it. Right now its not presentable. We have plans to engage with them to promote, to be part of the community. Our neighbors are saying that they are also excited about it. Any other questions . Im happy that you are hiring a manager. Just for the security, how many Security Officers or guards are you going to have on at any given time . Do you know . Its too late now, but bringing in the manager here tonight would be a good idea so we can talk to him or her about this stuff. We are talking about escobar over Protection Services and they have done a lot of work and they can meet with me and we start off with three guys depending on the crowd. Checking ids. We start with a minimum of three and assess it as we go along and if we need more, well get more. You guys are okay with the conditions that the Police Department asks for . Definitely. Okay, thank you. Commissioner . Does any of the owners have lead training or any alcohol training . Sir, we plan on attending the training. The earliest one is in june. That is actually not true. I just wrote 30 people to a lead training and it took me a week to get the date. So, try again. Okay, well do. Commissioner thomas . My question to staff, have there been any complaints or concerns or issues with the previous iteration . I didnt see anything in our tracker or previous complaints from the other place of entertainment. Just so you know, we would love to see if i Fiddlers Green open and doing well. Our only concern is that the operation of the bar is managed well and it should be your biggest concern as well because you have a lot to lose. I mean violations can affect your Liquor License which is a huge investment. It can affect your operations. I mean in a lot of ways other than just entertainment. So it is in your best interests to make sure the operare good. Do you have an operations manual, an employees manual. Do you have such a thing . Yeah, we have been developing it. Everything you spoke about. What do you mean you are developing it. With the general manager, we have examples to making sure no one gets served and policy. I suggest you go online and download the manuals. They are all over the internet, instead of someone who has never developed a bar. Thank you, we have downloaded a lot. Thats why we say developing. We have taken many of them so everything you have poen about we are taking a very strong interest to make sure we dont screw it up in regards to the liquor piece. This is not a living moment that we dont think about how to operate the house. We take it very very seriously. Okay. Anybody else . I open the floor to Public Comment on Fiddlers Green. Cmon up. My name is dana shively. I live in the condominium complex in the back of Fiddlers Green. There are nine condominium units there. I live there in the center of 9 units which from the street form a tictactoe board and i have two children that i live with. I have had a lot of experience with Fiddlers Green in its previous ownership and have even stopped there for a beer from time to time. I do want to point out, i know it is a cultural establishment, but there are times when it has been extremely loud, particularly on the weekends. I have gone in. I havent filed a formal complaints. The late in the evenings. From machine involved in construction, there was a club on the second floor that didnt have an open license. That was the second part of the noise. The other noise i believe was a fan that was related to the cooking area that made an extremely high pitch sound. The people i would talk to them before and they would usually take care of that fan. My intent is not to say, this shouldnt happen, this is too noisy. We dont like this. I want to point out a couple of things. One is i know seven of the other unit owners in our building and i can tell you there hadnt been outreach to our complex that was right outside of Fiddlers Green. Again, im not trying to stop it, but to the extent that there can be the proper rules, construction items or ordinances to be put in place to make sure that this is not unduly, an undue nuisance to the neighbors, that would be great. I dont know anything at all about running a bar, but when i hear that its going to be open until 2 00 a. M. Every night. That makes me wonder, okay, what exactly is going to happen. So under previous ownership, there are probably handful of nights in the warm months when it was ridiculous. It was really really loud. Then the other nights it was fine. I didnt have issues with it at all. I would look to all of you especially the new owners here for or the guy that never ran a bar before and lived in Orange County and monitored the operation by a video camera. It is sometimes concerning. Entertain a motion on Fiddlers Green. Questions for the contractor or have a motion . I think that part is over, you need to have a motion and we can discuss it among ourselves. I mean, if you cant make a motion then dont. I cant make a motion. Commissioners you can entertain a motion to approve or motion to continue i like to make a motion to continue this to have the manager brought in since we dont see all that comfort with the questions so make a motion we continue this until the manager can be brought in till the next meeting. We have a motion to continue to the next meeting. We have a motion and second. Any discussion . So, on this continuance i would like to add that whatever information on sound and want to knowit is a very sensitive neighborhood you are opening the bar and so, 9 units in the back and the biggest thing running a business is when you disturbing them and they call you because that is a part of the Good Neighborhoods policy, you center to give them a phone number and if it is leaking out of your space they will tell you to turn it down in the middle of a packed house, so it is very importance you bring all the information you can and also you have a outreach to the neighbors. The cbd is all businesses usually. Building owners. What you friendly amendment . The friendly amendment is no dissertation, just a friendly amendment bring all the information you can, sound proofing. That is your friendly amendment to the permit . That is the friendly amendment to the motion . Preta much does the maker of the motion accept the friendly amendment . Could you tell me again what it is . All the information we are missing. Outreach to the neighbors, sound proofing what he is doing to the building. I accept that. A second . Okay, we have a motion and second on the floor. Any further discussion . Call the roll. Commissioner frost, aye. Commissioner lea aye. Commissioner perez, aye, commissioner thomas aye. Good luck to you. Next item is barbara oakal doing business at bayview opera house for a loud speaker permit from april 5, 2016 which passed through march 17, 2017 to 8 p. M. And 11 59 p. M. I assume it could be every day of the beak. Week. If i could ask we are doing one at a time if i ask that we open all of e , f and g together and ill go down the list to make sense. This item is now for the loud speaker permit which i just mentioned, also item f is for the opera house yard and parking lot from july 1, 2016june 30, 20178 a. M. To 1159 p. M. G is nob nab sidewalks from mckinnon to quesada. Commissioners if you approve this this permit can be every day of the week, so for a year. Here it goes. So, mrs. Occul is here to answer any questions. Let me try to explain what this is because it odd and here in front of you for a couple reasons. One, you can see we are using a loudspeaker permit which we dont normally see in this way but have done this in the past and did for t for the bayview opera house a year ago to use a amplifyed sound permt in a way is odd but i have no other tools. We as a commission have no tools until we create some which we are in the process of doing. Be as it may, let me talk about g first. I will ask the commission continue to the call of the chair or in some way direct staff to handle this because we had a meeting now about 3 weeks ago with bayview station, permit officer rumeres mrs. O ckel to discuss the lay of the land. Can you fine the map . Do and have the map . This is helpful. What we did is looked and said what are you doing and what do you want to do. The last item, g is one in which i was very uncomfortable because it relates to street closures and a monthly event doing in front of you this way. I ask that you and i know the applicant agreed we can handle each of the events individually as they can come forward which is a manner consistent how we do amplifyed sound within street closures on a administrative level. Can i ask a question . Third and third [inaudible] i dont believe it does. I think she was matching the street closure times, but notyou can ask her. Im not asking the question and request that you do not maketake action on g. It was on here again so the pack jage made consent before we were able to have a meeting and i should have removed it again because we have agreement how well move on the third on third event as they come up. It is much more consistent way to handle that particular event, which stands blocks and blocks on third street. So, thats that issue. Can we deal with that issue first before you go on . My request to the commission is you simply move to continue, but to the call of the chair or in some way direct staff to manage this my question if we continue this do we have to follow the same rule frz a poa . No. Thank you. Alright, so commissioners on item g, can we entertain a motion to continue this either to the call of the chair, or to continue it until a decision by staff . One or the other, guys. I think continuing to staff is good enough. Is that a motion . That is my motion that is his motion. Motion and double second. Is there no further discussion . Is there Public Comment on continuance of item number j . Seeing none Public Comment is closed. Commissioner frost. This is g. Aye. Commissioner perez, aye. Commissioner thomas, aye if you want to hear from the applicant on the other 2 since you will be decided on these 2 im happy to have her talk to you. She is at the leck turn looking at you about how these work and they have [inaudible] so you can use that as well and you get a sense of what and how we move forward. I just want you all to take into consideration the draft conditions and gave you to take a look at them as she is describing what she is looking for. You dont want to make a Opening Statement . I think she will do just fine. Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you. I want to give a little background what we are doing otherwise the vast areas of permit requests might be like really confusing and strange to you. So, i assume you have heard about the bayview opera house and what it does in bayview and may not be aware it is closed for the past 2 years because of renovations. Now is expected to open up this summer around july or Something Like that. So, while we have been closed, we still have Community Events and tried to activate the merchants as well as mune Community Members through the arts and create positive Community Action in the area. Since our building has Nothing Available we have held events on Mendell Plaza which is the plazait is a paved over street. There is a [inaudible] at the street level like enclosed in a way but it is called Mendell Plaza. The tea thing that goes off that is a Community Garden and have leased that from the Property Owner and not ready to develop it at the time so let us use as a Community Garden and have school clubs in there. We tried for a long time tried having the third on third event which takes place once a month on the 4 blocks of third street to engage the merchants and Community Members to come to the restaurants, we are all struggling and so on. However, it was not successful in that especially since we still had event area on Mendell Plaza for the kids who we dont want on the streets people tend today congregate to Mendell Plaza and performers on the street corners did rnt have customers and it wasnt working well so we discontinued that. Now, when the bayview opera house reopens the summer or fall, well brin the third on third event as well as other events to the newly renovated opera house that has a beautiful outdoor stage and gordon around it so it a much more attractive event area. After that reopening we use Mendell Plaza for occasional events or events that are so large the property isnt big enough. We may also want to we are in the middle of third street it may be easier to engage the restaurants but i will work that out with josh and already discussed that time after time. So, third on third is something we do once a month, every third friday and sometimes the date moves. The public event is fifen to 8 and get the kids from schools out and participate. We have performers butd loud speaker squz dance music is playing so 28 is typical event time. We never go to midnight or anywhere knose close to it. We would like to option if the is one event where we do a festival and want to go to 10 it is nice to be able to do that. It is unlikely we want to do. At the bayview opera house on the other hand we rent the venue out to others who want to hold events and that is a [inaudible] where we will have Entertainment Permit but also the outside is so much improved people want to go out with lighting and heat lamps out there. It is pleasant state to have larger events and will be possible inside because it only holds 300 people and if you improve the outside you can have twice the size of the event so that is what we want the permit for and would like maximum flexibility to hold different events. We dont have nearly capacity to hold a large event every day and mindful of the fact that we dont want to be a disturbance to the community, we know there are not too many but some residents that live near by that we dont want to bother so well work in conjungz with them and the residents are pretty much our friends and we talk to them and they come to our events. It is a relationship and wouldnt put on like a heavy metal concert until 2 a. M. , we just wouldnt do that type of thing. It is like jazz or hip hop is saturday afternoon. We dont want to do things annoying to the neighbors and talked to jaus and fine with a loudness level that is acceptable that can be established we are hpy to comply with that. Im not into deafeningly loud music and it will give me a tool to keep people from playing that. The bayview opera house is the community sener and want to be able to put on event in our newly renovated facility. I have a couple questions. I may decide to answer some of them before you ask them, maybe. Mendell plaza is the green has a permit that you should see and this is 5166, so the permit package should have a dpw order. It looks like this. It is a lot of words, but what it does is basically gives the Land Use Authority two the bayview opera house for the plaza because it is dpw property. City property so it isnt public space . It is public space by virtue of the order the bayview opera house can activate Mendell Plaza on to their purview for what is essentially like a guess a year. Does that mean nobody else can . It does ntd say nobody else can but it says anyone else who wants to must work through the bayview opera house given this dpworder. I just want to be clear on that and any conditions in this im going attach to any loudspeaker permit we issue to her on Mendell Plaza specifically. And then again, there is attached hopefully you can see this other possible condition relative to mendell that includes a level set potentially if amp fiication isnt needed until midnight on mendell in particular we say 10 p. M. For open ended permit and we add some indication of a calendar of events sent to us as well as bayview station because while we do want to give flexibility, we need to know what is going to be happening and it is very helpful since we are the arm as well as the police that we all know what is planned for mendell. And then the other point i think that is important to note is the red which is the opera house yard area, which is sth other one, 5167 is fenced, is it not . Most of it is fenced. Most is fenced hourfck, however, there is corner at the nob nub side of the property that used to be fenced but now outside the fence and is a fairly large area. We had large events and sometimes for a third on third event we may want to set up there so we can easily connect to the other businesses on third street. A lot of it is fenced is that you can potentially fence had other part if you needed to but the space around the bayview opera house is somewhat different and part the bayview opera house. Private in the sense it is to yours without dpw order or order from other agencies for her to do with what she will. What she is ask ing for us is limited flexibility around that outdoor space and will ask you to remind the applicant again to let us know as the city in advance about what the intentions are and also obey whatever fire code, it isnt open yet, july is the intention for the space, but there were be a learning curve and the Fire Department will in fact i hope give you a pancy. I will press on the fact so we know and she is aware of the safe amount of people to have in the space. So i have questions for you. Um, with regard to mendellplaza, and the public garden bun err but Mendell Plaza in particular, if we grant you this permit and somebody calls you and says, we want to use it next weekend, are you using it . We want an event from 5 in the afternoon to 8 at night, will you respond to those people so others will be able to use Mendell Plaza when you are not . Absolutely i would consider making that a condition of the permit. Absolutely. Okay, so if you dont respond to them or violate you will be in violation of the permit, so that is one of the things. As far as the parking lot goes, that area that isnt fenced in, is that your property . That isnt a parking lot, it is like a public plaza that was the area in red isnt a parking lot . The area in red we are [inaudible] that is all the bayview opera house. Part is sth building and part is the yard used for the performance stage and like garden area and one quarter on the upper left is a parking lot. Everything in red is our property. Okay. Thats what i wanted to know. So, if we grant you the permit for your yard and parking lot, how will you control a area that isnt fenced in . Um, you mean how would we control in terms of people sitting there . Yeah, like you want to do an event so you only use that for parking . No, the little triangle the little triangle isnt a parking lot, it is a publicplaza not designed to be used for parking at all. It is like part of the sidewalk. It is like a extra wide sidewalk but it is your property . Yes. You are asking for a loud speaker permit for the entire area in red including the area that isnt fenced in . Correct so in this area in red you want to be able to rent it out to people, do special event up to midnight or sometime there after, is that correct . Yes if you rent out the whole area including the area that isnt fenced how do you intend to control the area that isnt fenced . How do you control people that are part oof the event from getting in there . If you want to have an event that is private event you probably wouldnt use that space. We want everybody to participate. If you have a private event you put it behind the fence. That is a public space . It belongs to us but open to the public someone can sit down during the day. I just want to understand. Why do you want this ongoing permit until midnight, just curious . Why do i want toto midnight . Yes because i think occasionally our event will go past 10 if we gave a permit that went to 10 oclock it is okay if you came to the Entertainment Commission for the extratwo hours . We can make it all you do is go to jauslen. That would be fine. And then on Mendell Plaza you said most events are 2 to 8 . Our events. If you want to include other peoples events and sometimes occasionally one till 10. Property once or twice a year. Okay, thank you. Commissioners anybody else . Jauslens question is enforcement, say this is on going for a year but is there any temporary stoppage if they get so many complaints because i dont see anyit says illegal activities but if they get nukeerous complaints over a course of the year, is it revisited back to us or so, we dont have a context in the police code to revoke a loud speaker permit, it doesnt exist now and that is a problem that we are trying to mend but dont have a fix now. We have enforcement here in terms of citations, we can ask the sfpd for assist. I dont know if this particular situation rill will require that. Midnight or if it bothers the neighbors it is still the noise there are ways in which we can try to work with other agencies as well thaz tools that we have to try to mitigate noise, but if you are asking bet revocation the answer is no, we dont have a way to revoke. Once we approve the activity we monitor which is why we ask you to consider conditions. Commissioner lee, we have done this before for otherplazas and other places throughout the city we did it for this particular mendell as well. We had no complaints. Was it for a whole year . We did it for a whole year. I think it was the same thing. Third on third has been going on 3 years we did a permit very similar on mendell last year without problems and had the permit for third street. Just pointing out there was no complaints any other commissions have questions kwr . You mentioned the Police Department, what did they say . We met with officer rumeres at bayview station and she was in concurance with all of this conversation. She is happy to have order to some of the chaos because she is confused sometimes. We want to activate Mendell Plaza and bayview opera house but want a sense how we move forward and want notice so that is what these conditions will allow. Commissioners, anything else . Why dont you have a seat. Opening the floor to Public Comment on the loudspeaker permits e and f for the bayview opera house. Seeing no Public Comment, Public Comment is closed. Commissioners i would like someone to entertain a motion for Mendell Plaza loudspeaker permit to end at 10 p. M. Just as it says in the suggested conditions. About the monthly calendar being paramount and our sound inspectors set db levels for the outdoor events. Now, correct me if im wrong, the code says the events shouldnt be heard 250 feet away but in physics that is impossible to achieve because all kind of things can effect sound. Clouds, fog, whatever. So, i would like someone to entertain that motion and thencan we do this together as one motion . I rather you do it sep rat because there are 2 seperal permits and separate location squz give separate possible conditions to work with. On item e, Mendell Plaza entertain a motion like to make a motion we approve Mendell Plaza with the conditions as identified by staff that the applicants abides by all conditions in the dpwordser and the sounds inspector sets the level and ampication ends at 10 and monthly calendar sent to the Police Department and commission. We vamotion, do we have a second . Second. Motion and second. Question . It says here on the green agenda it starts at 8 a. M. . We set 10 p. M. Can we set to 11 a. M. What is the logic . Um, so it isnt too early so the neighbors are going to be inconvenienced. So, i mean just to tell you that in my experience attending street fairs in the city like pride or folsom or chinese new year, when they set up they do sound tests and you cant do a sound test unless you have a sounds loudspeaker permit. I heard from staff the applicant says she is fine if you amend back to 10. There is a friendly amendment to 10 a. M. For Mendell Plaza. Accepted and second acceptsism we have a motion and second and accepted amendment. Call the roll. Commissioner frost, aye. Commissioner lee, aye. Commissioner perez, aye. Commissioner thomas, commissioner joseph, aye. Go for it. Item number f. Item f is for the parking lot and yard. Can i ask a question about staff conditions. No music is allowed on the nob nub is that for the triangle identified for the map it was more along the lines and dont think i worded it well, if there is amplifyed sound is not face that direction because there is i think Senior Housing facility on that side. That is correct, so that is something the applicant agreed to. I wasnt clear in my condition, sorry. So if you would to amend that condition it should say no speakers shall face newcom b avenue. Would you like a motion . I make a motion to approve this with the conditions developed by staff that the sound inspector set noise levels that there be no speakers facing newcome street side and amp fiication to end at 10 p. M. Accept for one time a month until midnight as noted and amp fiication to start at 10 a. M. And a monthly calendar to be sent to Police Department and entertainment condition and Fire Department occupancy to be obeyed once issued. Great, we have a motion. Do we have a second . Motion and second. I would like to correct the wording the amp fiication isnt to start earlier than 10 a. M. Instead of not to start at 10 a. M. Do we want the word notice or approval when it says one time per month with notice to sfpd and entertainment condition or approval . Tonights approval and so if there isi dont know how i would give a secondary approval from a policy standpoint. It would be notice. It would totally be notice. You cant reapprove something that is already approved. Right . Correct. Okay. Motion and second. Any further discussion. Commissioner frost, aye. Commissioner lee aye. Commissioner thomas, aye. Commissioner joseph aye. The bayview opera house is a asset to the community and wish you the best of luck. Okay. Item number 7, commissioner comments and questions. Anybody . Anybody . Anybody . Okay. Item number 8, new business for future agenda items. Okay. We are adjourned. Thank you very much. [meeting adjourne my name is holly im been in Enterprise Software training for 10 years that expired film and art and voiceover week work and all kinds of work. Im jane a Program Director for the state of california i have the privilege of working on special Technology Projects for the depth of the technology a passion for helping people and a passion for doing work that makes a difference and makes me feel good at night and i think about what i did today and helping every Single Person in the city as. A Technology Professional a need for more women and more women in leadership roles the diversity and the leadership pipeline is an area that needs a little bit of love. A lot of love. A whole lost love. Ill contribute for the change for womens equality by showing up and demonstrating that the face of success schizophrenia came come in a variety of corresponds. Theyre a lot of roadblocks for San Francisco when it comes to our proposition and finding a play for information that has how to start and grow management so we started to build the San Francisco business portal not just consults or the taxpayers and voters theyre actually customers we are the government serving the consumers in our neighborhood i point to at least one best that i personally touched with one way or another and makes me feel good about the projects like the business portal and in embarking on this new exciting journey of finding better and efficient ways to deliver services to san franciscans i sit through a lot of Senior Management meetings im the only woman in the room i know that our c i o is tried to recruit for women and a male dominated environment. Ive felt unbounded and inspired to pursue a lot of things over time i recognize to be cricked in ways i didnt anticipate you know ive followed the calling but now put me in a position to spend most of my time doing things i love this is the whole point; right . You ought to feel inspired in our work and found opportunities to have youre work put you in service for others and happy doing what youre spending so much time. My father was a journalist lift and my mom a teacher when we finally decided to give up their lives because of me and now i actually get to serve the city and county of San Francisco it makes me feel really, really good not this didnt happen overnight ive worked my entire life to get to this point and much more to learn and i have a lot of changes ahead. Really think about what moves you what youre pats about and trust that you are sufficient and enough where you are to begin and then is her that you are being tenacious about getting to the next place in the evolution but by all means start with you are and know thats enough i want to welcome everyone here today and today, we are signing this very important piece of legislation and let me begin by thanking supervisor wiener so far his instead of leadership the sponsoring the legislation that will raise the minimum angle for anyone purchasing Tobacco Products and e cigarettes to the average 24 and that will take effect on july 1st of this year i know that supervisor wiener along with his cosponsors supervisor mar and supervisor cowen and supervisor farrell and ultimately the entire board had a adopted this and this i know that the supervisors with working closely with our duty 0 who has been documenting why it is showing so important to continue our efforts as a city if not as a state to continue be rooiktd the access to cigarettes particularly at journeying or younger ages that is advocated by the groups like the Tobacco Free Coalition i want to thank them theyre not just here in San Francisco but the entire region and all over the country working with the Health Department making sure that supervisor wiener and not only Pay Attention it the science and data it is going on but that we do our best to end the suffering that is brought by by longterm smoking that obviously is the cause of cancer and asthma and Heart Disease we do our best to educate the public in doing so if not the industry that sells overseeing products and ultimate our kids are your family when in their 18 and 19 is shown that the coalition has shown over and over youre putting that some 95 percent of long term smokers had begun smoking at the age of 18 perhaps younger and as certain under the age of 21 those habit are so hard to end voluntarily so thats why we have to go to many other front to try to do this and thats why i think that the supervisor wiener has found a person cause and Public Health health cause if the violation kriebs the department of health to make sure that we do what we can to end our these diseases as much as we can to make sure that we also reflect as the mayor of the city if we can save a lot of money if we are able the medical systems we have to have in place it treat cancer and asthma with smoking is an incredible experience to the Public Safety the cleaner air with the Coalition Work on families that Secondhand Smoke impacts this has another critical reason why we want to do as much as we can and i think were on the overview we know that supervisor wiener is already in contact with the Governors Office as we are and with his the 1184 particularly senator leno and senator henrys to insure that the state which maybe hopefully in our minds the second to join hawaii to end the sales of Tobacco Products and less people under 9 age of 21 it doesnt make it right because your 21 you buy Tobacco Products wild to end it. Everyone hopefully with the adult level of age 21 that people make Better Health decision tore themselves and their family so i take this opportunity to thank the coalition i know that in looking at the data as they have done in working with us this year was a strong sense interest the data it the smoking rates are higher amongst people of closer and amongst the let the record reflect community and other xhucht we rank it with a hard impact sales work that is done by Tobacco Industry the may or may not Lgbt Community thats where we really have good data to show that the more we do to educate your communities be about this the better off well be so with all that background i want to say to supervisor wiener you have again showing the good leadership im going to give the pen avenue we sign this your accumulate more pens than anyone but thank you for your leadership and also working with such important groups like the Tobacco Free Coalition supervisor wiener id like to invite you up here to say a few words thank you, mayor ed lee ill give that pen to the advocates and the district for theyre really horroric work tutor sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; 24 legislation in a way that highlights this critically important issue San Francisco for many years has been on the cuttingedge of Public Safety whether around hiv or led pant and sugar sweetened beverage whatever the case weave been from the forefront and once again we are in the fire hydrant of what i hope will be a tile waive of proving Health Legislation that eliminates tobacco use in this country this is a huge problem weve been involved in a 50year struggle but with the tobacco city that produces a product with no benefit whatsoever that kills a half a Million People every year 34 is a serious issue and serious punting kiss im proud we live in a city where we can be on the cuttingedge where the politics of this city allows us at city hall to make good progressive policy i also want to say we know were up against a very well financed component the tobacco destroy for decades has fought ever effort to try to control tobacco use and enemy linkage between their pursuit and the health we know that hillsborough tried to do that they have spent their legislation after an expensive lawsuit by the Tobacco Industry we in San Francisco are willing to fight that fight that is amount about our city thank you to the department of Public Health we sometimes dont roles e releases how lucky with the best putting department that supports our efforts to make good laws that vascular critical exercise an Amazing Agency and our advocates for give us the political spouse space to to be able to do this and as the mayor adu u.
