Im a cofounder of this business located on 835 larkin street. We opened in 2013 as just a record store and in december after remodeling we added a coffee bar. From the beginning we wanted to add it but it took a while to get to that point. Basically our Mission Statement we wanted to create a unique space something that i experience when i was studying and working in a record store overseas in germany so we consider our space as a cultural hub. We do events that feature arts locally and nationally and were a coffee shop so we get a mix of people that come into our store, and to describe our team. We have a beer and coffee manager, Christopher Griffin who owned another coffee shop in the mission. Me, the cofounder and josh woods who is here and my brother. Obviously we are asking for your approval of our type 40 beer license and chris can explain kind of our beer set up. How are you doing . Thank you for your time. Basically our set up is going to be stripped down. Im going to do three draft beer options, and a draft combutcha option and non alcoholic and on top and nice for somebody else who is a booze drinker and then were going to have three craft can and bottle options. I am look at a couple of partners of beer company that sponsors musical events and festivals around town which we are also interested in hosting at our space. Planned to wholesale with morris and e grando and familiar. Theyre pretty much the distributors here and its going to be very basic and thats about it. Thank you. Absolutely. To close it off we do have a ton of support both from tenants in our building. Were under hearten hotel and a sro and local support and businesses in the area. We also have a great connection with hearten hotel. I always go there for every event and give me contact info and if its ever too loud and contact me. Any of the tenants can call me. Its okay and to explain our event we have a limited performance license through Event Commission and we have good reviews so if you checked online through yelp great ratings. Also ranked number two for Record Stores on four square from 105 ratings, and i guess its not working anymore but thats pretty much ti hope you can come for an event or enjoy a beer hopefully. Thank you so much. Colleagues any questions . And then i will open it up for Public Comment. Does anyone want to speak to this item . Hi. My name is steven quinoa. I have lived in that area for about 30 years and when the record store opened i cant tell you how enthusiastic i was. Its nice to have somewhere they feel connected to i dont go to the bars in the neighborhood or a lot of the other places but i immediately found a home and i have been to some of the events that have been held there and i think theyre very proper.

Theyre holding one this month for planned parenthood and i just would really like to recommend that they are able to get their license. Thank you so much. All right. Any other speakers feel free to line up and you can line up against this wall over here. Hi. I my name is justin and i live in the neighborhood.

Theres a bleak environment and since they have opened they have added a lot to the neighborhood. I mean including the people and our surrounding, some of the homeless and everything. They interact every day so our homeless unofficial Community Center and away and especially for artists finding spaces and they express themselves. They have a critical space for the city and theyre very responsible as well. I think the beer license will help you know add a sort of ambiance to the art shows, to the record release shows. I just cant say enough what they have done for the neighborhood and i think theyre a grate addition. Thank you so much. Thank you. Next speaker. Hello.

Clerk clrk can you call item 4. Yes item 4 is a hearing to consider that the issuance of type 42 onsale beer and wine public premises license to Pacific Retail vcf incorporated and doing business as vom fass oils vinegar spirits located at 900 north point street and public convenience or necessity of the city and county of San Francisco. Sergeant. I will give a report for vom fass oils vinegar spirits located at 900 north point street. They applied for a 42 license and if approved this will allow to sell on sale beer and wine. Zero letters of support or protest. Theyre considered in high crime and census track considered a high saturation area. Central station has no opposition much submitted with conditions on the report and applicant has agreed with these conditions. Thank you and is the applicant here . Hi. Good afternoon. Thank you for entertaining our application. We have been in business for three and a half years. Our store is elgantd. We have a health score of 100 and high comments on yelp and not a lot of locals. We get tourists but not locals. About two years ago the board of supervisors approved our 21 license and that helped but weve chosen to focus pretty much on high end spirits and mostly organic and sustainably produced wines. People dont understand them well so they want to taste them and every day we get the tourists who are the primary customers and sometimes its difficult to sell them wines without being able to taste them so we have applied for this license in order to number one be able to satisfy that need. Number two, most of our colleagues in this business give events. Weve tried that without serving alcohol. Doesnt work. So we would like to have beer and wine so we have events with food and oil and vinegars and spices and prepare hors doeuvres and taste all of the products and not just alcohol and give them the experience of organic products and most are organ and i can naturally produced so the other thing is we would like to do events that we publicize for charities as well. A lot of our colleagues do that as well and were working with a websited called if only and automatically part of our profits from events would go to charities. At the moment and since we opened actually we have worked primarily with two charities, the San FranciscoMarin Food Bank and with the Aquatic Park Senior Center because theyre across the street from us so we like to expand our ability to have events of which portions of our proceeds would go to charities. Essentially in all honestly our business struggled a bit in the last six months and while the 21 license helped we had issues with ghirardeli square and historic environment. They made changes to the garbage and recycling policies and due to some engineering deficiencies in the building the odor permerated our store and fixed now but affected us a bit and we would love to recoup that and increase our sales. Finally you know in addition to requests by tourists on a regular basis we find that the locals that come to our store are excited about having us be able to serve food along with the wine so they can actually taste all of our products at one place. With that i thank you for your time. Thank you so much. And look for your support. Thank you. Great. Seeing no questions i am going to open it up for Public Comment. Would anybody like to speak on this item . Seeing none. Public comment is now closed. [gavel] colleagues can i get a motion to move this forward with recommendation . Without objection the motion passes. [gavel] thank you. Madam clerk can you call item number 5. Yes item 5 is a hearing to evaluate access to quality affordable childcare in district 11 including analysis of the number children age five and under living in the district and the available spots in privately operated and city funded facilities. Thank you. Supervisor safai would you like to run your hearing . Yes. Thank you so much. I really appreciate this opportunity supervisor ronen and sheehy and yee to be a part of this Committee Hearing today. This was the very first thing i introduced as a supervisor on our first Board Meeting that allowed us to have a conversation about child care and the impetus to this was 12 years ago district 11 faced an emergency and it resurfaced about a year ago with the lost of Mission ChildCare Consortium. Theyre the largest subsidized child care facility in the city outside of the School School that is part of first five. 524 subsidized slots are in this location. Its been serving the mission where it got its original name and moved to the excelsior since the 70s. Its been around a very long time and after securing multiple longterm letses the owner decided to sell the building in 2015 after they had talked about longterm lease. This facility pace over 28,000 a month in rent and 100 reliant on reimbursement for state subsidized child care slots. So the situation was more pronounced and the housing crisis and the recession in 2007 and the uptick in tremendous in cost of housing and real estate losing this access for free child care became more underscored because as you know if people cant afford to have affordable childcare its often they cant go to work and families shouldnt decide between work and child care and paying rent so i am happy to say over the last two years we started a Community Organizing effort working with the office, California Program first five, mayor ed lee, the property owner, the hellman foundation, commissioner hydra mendoza and many other people we were able to get Grant Funding and actually the timing of this hearing is very nice because in the next days the owner is signing a purchase and Sale Agreement five and a half Million Dollars. All the people in the audience sitting in the first row and myself, the mayor yes, applause. Five and a half million theyre going to be owning this property and thats the impetus so were really excited. This will be the largest 51st program in San Francisco and serve the city for the next 50 years. The issue is not just about funding but familiarities so that was facility and it is another reason and my childs facility is moved from the opposite from the excelsior to the mission and were dealing with issues of the socrates disadvantaged socioeconomic families and under five and tend to be the most vulnerable and we know there are families on wait list and in all of these centers so all of that is part of the main reason why we called for this hearing. We hope this hearing will help to inform the conversation about child care and facilities in other parts of San Francisco and it happens it rolls into the conversation of educate our housing that is the next item on the agenda that we called for so it fits nicely i think. Theres a scarcity of brick and mortar facilities and outdoor space requirements constrain the ability for locations so we wanted to think about this in the context of this hearing today so the two caveats are to be fiscal sound programs to serve 24 or more children and housing 75 square feet of open space so lets think about that, so again understanding the achievement gap and closing the opportunities and what does that mean . Children particularly of mono lingual and disadvantaged backgrounds have access to the right skills and preparing for kindergarten and thats a lot of this conversation so the idea that there could be the conversation about children being behind as they approach kindergarten is not something that we want to even have a conversation about. We want to do everything we can to get them prepared so in our district we have cleveland, giewp lupe, the spanish biliteracy programs and tag lot programs and monroe has a dual immersion path way. Jose ortiza and mandarin immersion so we have a lot of programs in the Public Education system and only San Francisco community and sheer don dont have authorized language and another way we know it helps children prepare so finally i will end by saying state subsidized early child care is mandated to run quality curriculum by the department of education. Access to the free and affordable programs is a vital component to our childrens academic success so theyre the reasons we called for the reason today i. I have a special thanks to many and from the Unified School District and the executive director of access and equity sorry if i didnt say the name properly. [inaudible] and the director of California Child Development programs for the low Income Investment fund and the school board and children, youth and their families so if we could call up september to do your presentation and then we can ask a few questions. Good afternoon supervisors. We appreciate the opportunity. We pulled together we have a brief presentation and weve tried to share citywide comparison data to put things in context. I am september jerad and the director of early care and education come in that capacity since july. Our mission as a new department is have access for all San FranciscoYoung Children zero to five and their families. Its a Great Mission and challenge and work we do together. Lets talk about San Franciscos Young Children. San francisco is home to over 44,000 Young Children under the age of five and you can see that district 11 is home to the second highest proportion of children of any district in the city. Far too many of Young Children start off early life in poverty and as you can see we have desperate rates by district and 11 of the young start off life with the stress of poverty. The children of our city are increasingly more diverse than the adults and the children of district 11 represent this trend. The supply of child care available for working families is a pressing issue citywide. In almost all homes all parents are working and many parents are working more than one job to make ends meet so demand for care is extreme. As you can see by this slide district 11 has proportionately fewer Child Care Spaces than other districts but amazing asset in district 1 is a thriving and actually the biggest family care child sector in the city. Theyre women licensed by the state, Small Businesses primarily women owned and women of Color Running a business and running for an educating and loving our citys children. In the interest of time i will skip these. A teaser. I want to jump to the issue of affordability because the squeeze our country puts stress on working families and more stressful for all of us but this graph shows you the colors are hard to see today. But fully 55 of our families of Young Children face affordability challenges. If you use the measure of 110 of area median income. Thats a wonky number. Its a housing benchmark we use and a policy benchmark that you adopted for thinking about the child care system. Thats about 106,000 a year for a family of three. If you look at this graph the bottom represents the income threshold by which the federal government helps family meet their Child Care Needs through the federal head start or Early Head Start program if you have heard of that. One of the partners is in the audience today. It has a family of three and caps at families earning 20,000 a year. When the state helps a family it caps out at 56,000 a year. When you factor in high cost housingue will talk about that later and the relatively low wages of working families this is where the squ
