Good evening commissioners not a lot to tell you about tonight i wanted to mention that we got a date settled settled for the summit which will be october 3rd in the afternoon probably we typically go one to 4 a lengthy as day but at the barrett auditorium wiener considering a way to do more sort of rapid fire kind of presentation instead of maybe longer in depth kind of scenario, if i have anything that might work well objective put things and something im working on with a Conference Call with a bunch of u. S. Cities in active Shooter Training and it is sounding scary but something in new york and recently 2, 3, 4 seattle with artist in theatres and different types of venues you think that sfpd will join me in a Conference Call friday morning and put it together so that people actually know you know what capable of assisting and what they might do themselves more to come breakdown in your calendar october 3rdrd. Super excited to tell you that we finally hired made an offer and accepted on the Departments Division so a guy named bill rice from San Francisco super qualified and start date soon hit the ground running were in the middle of festival season so we have a lot the low 0 do. Can i just say that myself and ben have an opportunity to meet dillon and toured the museum the music museum. We toured the music wing of the museum we were in chicago for rh i a couple years ago hes pretty colonel. Okay there you go i want to update the commission as we typical do on corrective action and not many corrective action done with respect to place of entertainment holders but unfortunately last week, i think it was last week i cant remember we the sfpd and the Entertainment Commission sort of together sat down with the end up and i issued a directors order based on some violence that happened inside and the results was basically a volunteer closure of 18 days theyve been in the midst of serving we were clear with them the gravity of the situation needed substantial changes and old them in the directors order and putdown up the surveillance cameras and a making sure in their security plans were revised were still waiting but that had to take place before pride weekend were we understood this is a financial burden and something that their employees have to bear but the consequences of having the kind of violence happen inside is it so the most serious matter they were understanding and they didnt have any problems with our requests i know that inspector lieutenant is here and on a site visit so if any questions hes over there we felt like that with what happened and why and were going to keep our fingers crossed that pride when they reopen will go well Going Forward and survive this it is a big deal thats all i want to say about that and inspector pauley is out today but burk it is here. When will they reopen. I think hold on we did this directors order so they would the volunteery closure was on june 6th. So this friday sounds right we counted ought to be mindful of important weekends obviously them and the city and they were of the mind they could get the changes required done in time. Okay. I think imgiven what happened in orlando and other concerns about security i was completely shocked to see the headlines that people are shot and killed at one of our clubs. That happened before. Right. And there was no indication because really had has nothing to do with with in is more Gang Violence related but regardless for me not important it is important that the breach occurred having that breach occurred and make sure this didnt happen the story of what happened and choose gun didnt matter to me. Right and no excuse for a gun inside and for security that lacked laxed you even your customers are two wealthy to be searched maybe not own a club user your customers should go to another club it is unconscionable. The situation they felt people were not important to pat down. They have protocols but a breach more than one entry and exit and we feel like maybe their communication or cell phones are great in some ways and dangerous in others and people indoors communicating with people outside someone drew the security out the door and we again made some droifshgz order about putting that very loud alarm in addition we never leave a door urban manned regardless of wla whether interests a ruckus and not leave the door unmanned but have some mechanism if it gets taken over by someone else you are aware that was the case and is consequences of someone got in there and used it there hadnt been much going on with the security just in a normal pointing people left it unattended. No excuse. Yeah. No excuse. So i feel San Francisco has been very safe we have had an excellent record and somewhat dismayed how it started. Well will you inform us of what youve learned about active shooters. Yes. Awesome thanks. Good evening, commissioners a few notes for you this week. We had an event at at t park this weekends a private event first one since i guess the past 6 months a quieter event and quieter we did get one complainant 311 and with at t park are waiting for a full report two complaints via the hotline and so all in all a different somewhere than the last events there i was there towards the end of the events that was very different they shut down the pa it was operational definitely not as loud as other times i was halfway down lot a and started to trail off that was different than before a couple other visits over the past couple of weeks i picked up on monroe and broadway. Unit above broadway and have established ambient reading as well as what the that sounds like during events at morrow and following up with the complainant to discuss those measurements and i think this wraps up my investigation at monroe a couple one offices permits we issued one at the festival and one at food parks over the past weekends both were in compliance as far as mobility conditions and both ended prior to the end of the permit and did not start until the start of the program. So all and all there was one additional visit i a was paved off from jordan to myself the square bar kitchen i made a visit to the complainants residence and the establishment itself and confirmed that two out of 4 speakers were removed from the bar and i think that is going to take some monitoring at levels of their system to make sure as opposed to adjusting volume on the fly things changed inside the bar some limits to insure that people know where to set them and leave them i think this should be resolved shortly. The only thing other than that i have reached out to a place called a slogan Fourth Street got a complaint 311 that turned into a night club i left a message for the owner ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. About my report. If we could get into the numbers can we get a report card. The damn thing is free you get a hair cut. Any questions or comments for our inspector . All right. Public comment on director or inspector report seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Move on to item number 4 discussion and possible action regarding recently amendments to Police Code Section 1050 want 5 ill pass it on to my colleague thank you so there was a cumulative legislation that was passed months and months ago it was a bunch clean up 1060 and one of the things we did i think you recall and i think can you all find it is sort of exempted out 1065 and the yellow section in the last page substitution that relates to the 9 month period weve struggled with in the past with respect to accomplishing everything you need to have a final grant of permit 1060 was amended to basically allow a set of additional months Going Forward and one of the things in the language here is that the commission may designate to the power to extend the deadline according to subsection h im asking the commission to discuss and then possibly move is that extension of authority to staff you know in a formal way we can go ahead and do pretty much what we were doing prior to this change weve called it clean up anyway you need to formally adopt this and thats have a communication about that. All right. Commissioners seems straightforward you, you guys want to discuss this you. Its a good idea in planning the cases so im many in support of extension for the full 24 months up to. Up to; right . Up to. Commissioner thomas. Have we had many people and applicants in this position. I mean do you guys know the number weve had. How many people extend i mean, i dont know i want to give this guess and probably in the order of 20; right . 20 percent or so typically, well run into some kind of snag on a bureaucratic level and many cases like building an electrical or plumbing issue sort of things im kind of who knows so maggie inherited and cammy inherited it,too the straddlers are taking a long time you know quite well on marin street still not accomplished i dont know when matt its been at least december the pearl remember that one i think that is maybe enough and yeah ross are not because of operator who is not accomplishing those are people on them to be making the best effort to finish what needs to get finished in many cases the inspector is gone and now a new one and cant source the materials a number of stories and you know rearing projects it takes time so typically we dont want to come to you that early but when we know there is it is a delay so people that dont have the issue but sometimes you know for for better or worse they want to get a continual grant a signal to move on spending the money on construction or renovation or even the transfer of ownership so this stuff happens in a different timeframe for everybody and sometimes there is a holed up and sometimes people end up in court you know you never know. So getting the ability to extend the continental didnt mean in their operating a grant theyre waiting to achieve the final permit. Just to tell you the Planning Department might have a long a wait they dont come to us the Planning Department and everything under the Building Department like we have a lot of finals that are required in order to get a final permit and also materials to us in case you havent noticed an explosion of construction in San Francisco and everything from drywall and especially the drywall that had been soundproofing our place and technical is not an easy thing soundproofing used to be easy to get it was sub flooring but not easy to get. Another example paradis loans down to the studs so this is again what im asking for in the language of the code that says showing the cause as the abilities to make that judgment call with the blessing. A question from the months to 2 years. Potentially the way it reads it sort of you know little by little by little this could be that long like can you get an extension. You can. So it is 18 months to 2 years. After the two years having the ability to do it in 12 months. If this is what it says okay. Maximums 3 years. Its taken 3 years. Educate the commission if someone has a piece of property and trying to build a club and taken 3 years because not to operate and earn money and spend money or wait way wait the materials and inspection is just costing them a future theyre not open. Might as well give it up. It depends on how tenacious and how much money like you. laughter . All right. I have a process question i think the codes clean up happened at the supervisors level do we have the ability to change this section of code assuming yes so im not asking you to change the section of code im asking to play out the last couple of sentences that says that the commission may spectacle all the directors in whatever manner the power to extend the 9 months deadline i need you to make a formal action to approve or. A to authorize staff. The use our discretion. That helps me think of a motion. Any other during the course from commissioners are questions any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed commissioners. I want to make motion. Great. This body does designate to the director to extend the 9 month deadline. So you moved to give our director the power to extend the deadline. You bet. Great a second. Second and its been moved and seconded anything else. A question after the first extension you give them 9 more months. We can do anyway and thank you. You want the director to make the third extension. I want her it make all the extensions she wants weve conditioned the grant this is to finalize why bring that back to the commission to do what. Whats the holdup. So recommend a better contraction i mean seriously. Is there a problem or something we dont know about i dont think that will be that. Not in our department weve conditionally granted the Building Department or the Fire Department has a holed up we have no power to do anything. It it would be nice four future business. I will entertain a friendly amendment that if someone comes back with an extension more than the second 9 months that the director reports to the commission on that fact. Is that okay. Thats good. All right. That motion is clear okay. So this is a motion that didnt have a second yet. Oh, commissioner caminong you second that. Okay. Great. On the motion as amended commissioner lee commissioner joseph commissioner caminong commissioner perez commissioner thomas president tan that item passes looks forward to not hearing that many updates from project moving on to item 5 Police Department questions or comments oh, lieutenant is coming up great. Right. Good evening president tan commissioner joseph and commissioners lieutenants with the San Francisco Police Department i want to briefly circle back this is a critical takeaway the executive director talked about the zero tolerance for breach as pointed out i think from the other components that need to get out to the Security Industry it they have to have a contingency plan with preparation to participate what historically we have not seen in clubs that specific event was well organized and involved any individuals and they came to distract the security and did it successfully that substantial allowed the reach and the subsequence incident that followed i think we need to look at security for intellectually i do want to say the group tends stepped i applaud Deputy Director jocelyn kane we moved swiveling everything we we are getting will prevent in the future a breach audible noise to alert security the takeaway securities needs to be smarter and not easily distracted if they are and pulled from their post it is as simple as security pulled from in their post a bartender or any other staff manager needs to slide into that slot and it should happen smoothly and quickly and then lastly i know executive director speaking about active shooters i want to brought to your attention this is an area the department is in very good shape twice weve conducted active Shooter Training as you recall we took over the schlage lot and did a School Simulation i was telling me the executive director earlier today we used what is semi ammunition shooting live rounds the bullets are supposed is to be nonlethal and they are but they can pierce your skin i got cut it brings a real sense it is not a mock somewhere quickly with the theme of today is which is very different than in the past is in a situation like this what were training our officers to do so long as on scene someone takes charge and they make just i entry and the next time in passports times i should say what there was a lot of strategy well in the meanwhile a lot of can age on the inside now stop the threat were doing the training in a way the officers dont know to know each but were all taught to do it the same way it is intuitive and pretty effectual but you know the obvious realty excuse me the obvious realty it puts our officers in an immediate threat were training our officers unlike others staff were con fronting the threat with the goal of stopping it nfl in the past it is deny at the extension of active members of the departments such as ours anyway wanted to give you that update and the incident we are speaking it was a good wake up call but shows the citys commitment to zero tolerance o tolerance we met with them immediately and steps up to the plateed and studied the business for 4 working weeks a significant hit arguably close to a total annual income and the executive director said were sensitive to employees theyre impacted but on the other hand, it needed to be a serious wake up and ill wrap up i met with the owners a little awhile go ago and did a walk through theyve doing everything weve asked from them and a bit of a bonus for people to like to enjoy the place were getting a remodel because trufl the place never shut they didnt have time to get a good cleaning and updating and all that have. Didnt go into the bathrooms but the space looks at good. I have a question so you have an active shooter situation and the police finally get notified it take time for the police to come and do their thing what is there some protocol that is directed to the management and the employees of the night club maybe the patrons but modern than hit a panic button. Similar i mean, the Vice President of ive had communications offline and basic things the ability to safely and quickly raise up the lighting youll be surprised in some of clubs ive been in over the years and ultimately the place is sutd shut down are we waited while the place closes turn up the light a 2, 3, 4 thousand square feet and one hundred light bulb we need to come up similarly to what we did with your Good Neighbor policy and your security plan models was we have to starts looking at now okay you know what is your critical plan and what are basic features that youll have mechanical like lighting and you suggested in the past every disc jockey a dated term. They dont say disk york but to popin a play to redirect the energy in case were getting the people out quickly overseeing kind of things those are whys that the executive directors and i have been talking about for your summit that is would be appropriate place i think to get that kind of information out and in a formalized way. This is a question for staff is there a way to message anything about security at this point just a permit holder outside of come october thirds you know, i feel like there might be tips or measures that kind of the best practices and security. So again, were going to do a call to get a sense of how much information and how much is appropriate and move it around on friday and then we can see if there is a little bit of something sensible to get out i dont want to i mind want to do this smart and in concert with pd so everyone gets the same information and then sure i mean, if we can get something done sooner the ideas for them to finish the summit. The thank thing about panic b but the they have the ones you squeeze together you have to intellectually do it to sound the alarm and the Police Respond immediately so having panic buttons about you itville and especially, if you have it in multiple places if the cashier didnt see it the barnyard or some of the dj see it and the bullets are good if you have an alarm system the company may give you one it is a cheap way to be safe but also Training Staff to hit the floor and hide or i dont know have bottles behind the bar do something to protect yourselves or take out the shooter it is important to establish protocols for what bar staff can do to stay alive for themselves and patrons id like to us to think about that. You know i think that like so many projects weve taken on in the past we conveniently phrase best practices were talking about critical and practices we have a lot of good dos and fridays Conference Call will be the first step hearing what others people are doing i agree with the executive director and yourselves the key to come up with a product that everyone is comfortable with and message it consistently one thing i was encouraged we try not i know that every industry saying their needs are special but looking it from the departments point of view i will want to make sure that if were going to do Something Different for entertainment and genuine need id like to think that a critical instance in a perfect scenario proevenl probably never it is we they they have basic elements and not train the departments with all nuances we miss the mark it is critical that with the right people at the table and have the discussion. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Any Public Comment on the Police Comments seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Move on to item 6 Residential Development review consent calendar four projects on here. Yeah. Just as a review and you know sort of a little bit of inconsistent we had trouble with the quorum back the projects that have come to hearings and then recommendations need to be september sent to planning and the Building Department they come to you as sort of you know a listing for your review not role for deduction but one content item to be voted on together all right. Is there a motion. I move to approve the content agenda as it stands. Do i hear a sec. Second. Great Public Comment not seeing any, Public Comment is closed. Call the questions commissioner lee commissioner joseph commissioner caminong commissioner perez commissioner thomas and president tan. That item passes consent calendar passes can i make a request to include just a little bit more information i think just the cover sheets in your packet the next time all around for the content items the listing is fine we want to get the practice that is having the cover sheet yeah thank you. All right. Moving on to item 7 i see 8 on the agendas is actually 7 hearing and possible action under the jurisdiction of Entertainment Commission only one tonight so our only permit application for place of entertainment on utah street a change in ownership from the previous owner and they have already gotten a temporary permits if mission station as well as the executive director so there is no lapse in entertainment for the permits and currently they have the similar model for entertainment on djs and they plan to have live music and also are planning to add 20 thousands of sounds like installation to the ceiling as well as adrc sounds like curtains on the soundproofing this is not in a residential area if i neighborhoods in the area and i did receive a total of of 7 letters in support for those from the owners he have nots received any option mission station approved the application with the attached continents on the last page im happy to read those of you like and the applicants is here theyll come up and talk about that. Take into consideration a quick overall we plan on doing in terms of taking over mighty the application is simple mighty is a wonderful venue it can be International Recognized in the music world we plan to create a beautiful new planned space and a need for a present location in San Francisco operations and Security Operations will be mirrored on what we do with monarch with a season manage and managing partners on premise and we make sure of that in order to provide a safe and entertaining environment for the patrons security will be provided by jury box Security Protection weve used them theyve established the Security Company our plans for entertainment will be similar to the plan with the Monarch House music your crowd is older in the 20 to 35 in the programming will reflect that sorry. Theyre to the youth tab. laughter . I know we also plan to do some live bands from jazz to rock picture Neighborhood Outreach businesses along impeding and 15 street and San Bernardino were contacted and aware of the space known as money two letters from businesses across the street longevities residents of neighborhoods and 40 snatches from the building neighborhood and others neighbors from the south of utah we tried to open up to the businesses and fortunately to our delight the sent time was welcoming to the idea of our establishment ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. Commissioner joseph. So you are not keeping any doorsteps. Johnson is not assimilating that and one still remained on with johnson the reason we didnt stay that way mighty stated on and going with a contracting service. But not try to transition. We offered the ability for them to join Johnson Security and one accident actually but that they needed guard cards, etc. Im concerned eve people losing jobs and then under your your door policies bed checks is that what youre going to do bag checks. I think per the discussion we had previously our security in addition to whether it is bag or pat downs or pats in the front and making sure we have enough security guards to make sure the stairs and doors are covered after orlando theres been for me personally head of the security and i had a conversation what can and should be aware of and pride it is more sensitive is an ongoing communication we see a daily conversation there were things that were brought up this evening i think we can push the buttons and in a straightforward way of protection one of the other items that the lieutenant mentioned was lighting and i ronnie in monarchy the ability to flip two switches it is nice to hear the things in place moving towards what is probably a new recognition of what security practices should be but rest assure were talking about with the Security Team and look forward to a deduction with sfpd and the Entertainment Commission and there is additional best practices and want to know about them and i will say that practice them but understand what we can do whether it is just to be proactive but the circumstances that arose to training our staff. Great to that end ill recuse myself to vote. Thank you commissioner joseph. Can you can you talk a little bit about the improvements youre making there is additional soundproofing are you doing other things to the actual space and primarily cosmetic the great thing why were excited one of the reasons it has great incentives you go into clubs that is just a wreck and have to start from scratch mighty has been operating incredibly well from manchester it makes it easy for the owners to transition we will want to establish a new brands and fortunately, i think well do that with cosmetic. Are you planning are strictly in house promotion. Primarily. Well work with some promoters but pro tempores weve worked with for the last 5 years and established a relationship at monarchy and known the entertainment industry. I think know that a lot of people use the mighty for if you have any questions, well be happy to answer thems it will be available for that. Absolutely absolutely well work with a number of people that worked with mitigate yet and this weekends coming up with the pride with that said it is going took available so far if you have any questions, well be happy to answer thems or working with the promoters but fundamentally the important thing well always be there and on the floor never giving up any managerial abilities thats 100 percent. I get it commissioners other questions commissioner lee. The same Security Team as monoarches the same company. Monarchies has their challenges. As a venue done a good job with the local neighborhood trying to make sure the partners are safe and it is a different over at mighty but still you know we want to be proactive because cars get broken into and people leave the club so at monarchy we do our best to take care of the patrons inside and outside i spoke with the folks from the alu and conditions of the licenses to be proactive if we see something happened with criminal activity or they might be break into cars. Tow so tomorrow youll, joining the rest of club owners. One of our other partners will be there and representing monarchy at the station. Have you seen the police conditions im assuming having Video Surveillance and report for thirty days. Yes. Okay.
