Start with a roll call a few housekeeping items. If youre a member of the public, like to speak on any item you see on the agenda we have these pink slips up here that you fill out. And it to our staff and alcohol new ones were open for Public Comments. Second, if you could please turn off your cell phones or put them on silent so that we can not be disturbed during the meeting. Finally, thank you sfgov tv for your services and producing and airing this lab to the public every time we meet. Organa go ahead and start with local. Commissioner frost commissioner lee commissioner joseph commissioner perez caminong president tan for house. Well start off with Public Comments. This is for Public Comment on any item you do not see currently on the agenda but does relate to the work of the Entertainment Commission. A Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is close. Leon to item 2 approval of minutes for november 10 meeting. Commissioners, if you want tohopefully you have reviewed them and if you have any edits or motions . I moved to approve moved and seconded. Any Public Comment on our minutes . Lets take a speedo. The minutes pass. Ive seen because i was absent for the last meeting. November 10 with the last meeting. Were you present . Yes, i was. Okay. There you go. The minutes pass. Item number three report from her executive director and staff. Do you want to take it away because i will take away. Good evening, commissioners. We have a written report which i dont often do but i sent allot attachments. I want to give you a proper memo. Just a brief update on what were going chapter 16 or in other words, the protection ordinance which sounds much better to me. All the letters have been sent to the planning department. As you may recall was a very long pipeline that we had determined would meet the criteria, so it took a while in a big set of letters that has gone out. So, all those are out there and slowly but surely im getting kind of emails and phone calls from private sponsors sponsors asking me what they need to do next. So, the committee has met several times and i guess over course of a couple months weve come to the conclusion that we needed a form. One of the things that is attached here its three pages at the moment although its a work in progress, is a project sponsored form for projects within 300 feet of places of entertainment. You can take that home and take a look at it. Especially those of you on the committee, to see if its comprehensive enough. Ask the right questions so that we get a basis for if they come to you at the committee level. You know, the basic sort of discussion. So, next year we are in a proper hearing room to my thankfully for the committee which is far late and i put together a schedule because the president and i discussed the need for the frequency of the rvr meetings. We determine once a month is adequate based on, again, how many of these projects are coming in the length of time its taking to get them analyzed. So, there is a schedule here that i sent out to you guys last week, and for those of you on the committee, if theres any issues with the schedule but let me know for the year 2016. What things moved around. Space is really hard in city hall. So, i think that is it pretty much. I startedi just want to tell you it had been discussed and particularly, when charlesmet with a committee we should come up with a best practices kind of guide for sound studies being done for Residential Projects within 300 feet of places of entertainment. So i started to jam something out and spoke with charles on the phone as well as connected with the Health Department sound folks. So, i guess we are halfway through that, but again i think that can also be a work in progress. Something that we can send to people because, ideally will see these well before the soundwhere those tonight that will get you later is enough space. We have an opportunity to influence how the sound study is done and make sure its done in a way thats adequate or better than adequate. I have a question. For best practices how is this done done or how the jewelers use . How to conduct a proper sound study. Okay the other item under the policy update for the commission is related to the Cannabis Task force. The supervisor wiener created a task force, and a rules committee finally met to determine who would be the members of the Task Force Last thursday. It was like a monumental, all day, literally ninehour meeting. There are 14 seats. There were 40 odd candidates. Entertainment commission is involved because we sit as a nonvoting member of the task force and will be involved obviously heavily in terms of how organic interact with nightlife and nightlife businesses if and when cannabis becomes legal in 26 and get this is the citys effort to be prepared for something that seems somewhat inevitable although its not clear in what form. So, there are 17 possible ballot hedgers and at the state level, when and if something gets approved, the city wants to be prepared. So, the group is being staffed by the public Health Department, which i think is good. I think theyre going to be really on their game and supposed to meet in january for the first time and have maybe quarterly with some subcommittees as well. Ill keep the commission informed as we go along. As we need for the balance of 2016. On the topic of Commission Seats and vacancies, you see are missing somebody here and thats because as you know, commissionerleft the city. So we had to step off. We tried very hard to find the time at the board level to get another appointment in this calendar year but was not going to happen. So, we expect to be on Calendar Rules Committee with whomever applies to early january. I also attached images for the heck of it, the announcement which is been up on the web since november 19. The Vacancy Announcement is there. Its a publicly held c. If you have anyone that you may know that might be interested, you can point them to the web or give them this piece of paper. In addition, the ever so slow hr practice in the city is moving ahead and the position that we were funded with in the last budget cycle is nearing the point of announcement, and filling. So, again, this is an outdoor event analyst position. With an emphasis on analysis. Its been classified as an 823. The position announcement is final but will wont be posted until after the holidays because i wanted to get the most attention it can get. If we put it up now i think you would get lost in the shuffle. So, the intention is to post from january 418th and then we will land on interviews and some kind of higher in early february. So, we are looking forward to that that will be exciting. The last thing that i want to do is tell you about a corrective action its been a long time since anything under the heading of corrective action has taken place and that was a good thing. Unfortunately, or not, we did issue a direct order on november 20 based on the incident that i think you may heard about. That happened that the seller on saturday, november 14. Based on that incident, and the concern we had , that or maybe some reaches with security protocol, we basically included a revision of the security plan, which then basically puts a bunch of new conditions on their permits. So, in a memo. It tells you what those are and essentially eliminated one weeknight of operation provides the security plan in writing which they did. Adding a ratio of 1 to 25 which is a lot we think its important right now to help with end of the night crowd control and dispersion, which is where this problem happened. Adding at least one longrange night vision camera to the outside of the front door. And having all those be functional which we know thats been a problem. Then, letting the commission, as well as the Police Department know about anything out of the ordinary during special events. So, we feel pretty good aboutthey were receptive. They signed document and did not argue with the city. It comes and goes at that location its a tough location. Theyre doing a brisk business. Things happen. So, that concludes my part of the report. If you want to take questions now about what i said or i can hand it over to the inspector let me do that. Any questions for the director commissioners . Thank you. I have a couple minor but im glad you guys produced the actual project sponsor form. I think its going to be super helpful when we start reviewing those. Lets go to inspector inspector burke or inspecto holly which everyone. Good evening, commissioners. Just a few items to cover tonight. Its been a while since we spoke so i want to kind of cover some trends ive seen out in the city the past few weekends. We did get our first complaint since ive been on, ive been inspector for the regency center. The complaint came in for the regency ballroom and right now working with the complainants and management and monitoring the situation to figure out exactly where the sound is escaping from. They do have a new dining in the basement called a social hall. I have a suspicion that maybe some of the doors or windows that are facing sutter towards this newish apartment complex maybe its the cause of the issue. Humanitarian has been very responsive and have been in touch with the complainants overtime to Work Together to bring this to conclusion. I have been working with Mission District pd at trying to monitor a situation in which neighbors are complaining about jukebox mariachi band and although this does not fall necessarily within our jurisdiction but im trying to monitor with the help of pd to try to bring some closure for the residence. Theres some confusion around permitting. Confusion around jurisdiction. The operator now is attempting to obtain permits. They just dont exist for it. So its a little bit of organization and a lot of communication and event agencies working together. There is a block in upper haight. A complaint came through mary ellis trophy room. Theres a couple different establishments on that block. The complainant is on the other end of the block and im trying to right now establish this complaint just came through this weekwhich i do establish the source of the issue. If there are any permits that need to be updated or apply for, and get to the source of that problem as well. A quick update forthat i mentioned recently, i believe there are some new this is on mission streetacross from the newish complex called beta. I noticed recently some new security staff, new promoters and were trying to work it Work Together to make sure that stay safe and quiet and in that corridor of the mission. A lot of new residential. A lot of new it seems like some changes in entertainment, new promoters with new venues and new venues popping up. So, well keep an eye there as well. It wasnt a complaint or something . Weve had complaints come in about balance walk but thereve been anonymous so its hard to coordinate an anonymous complainant regarding when things are happening. So for me to be on call and witness something as it happens has been difficult. The particular incident that i mentioned here was something that i drove by just on patrol. Commissioners, other questions for sgt. Burke . All rights. Right along. Good evening, commissioners. Several items to report to you about. Well start with complaints. I received another complaint. Weve had ongoing complaint with the basement, 222 hide. I received another noise complainant that im probably can i go by this weekend to see if maybe another violation can i suspect that i might. Its been maybe about five weeks since ive been by there. Our issue the citation form. Ive reported that the previous hearing. It has not been paid yet, so action is pending, but i do think were going to continuously have problems with the basement. I mean i been doing it with it like eight months now and its pretty clear thats going to be the case. So i will report to you whatever action that we may want to take. Ill report to you about whatever happens you can decide what action you want to take. Are the complaints going to you . Directly to me. I think a couple times they may have went to 311 or something. This ever been Police Involved . No. Not that im aware. In your estimation by these complaints about . The complaints are valid. I been by several times. They are valid. Basically. I could go on and on but about. Neighbors and the building. Other residents . Residence above him. The equipment he was getting when he was first applying is already overkill. Its huge. Have eight attempted to take any the out . He actually added baby like two months ago at a sub water in the bar area so i told him, first of all, its a violation of the permit anyway. Also, i told him to turn it off when he first got it. They, you know you need to fly under the radar basically because there was a lot of issues in you getting the permit because of this. You need to fly under the rape. He turned it off for a little while but nevertheless its back on. I dropped in a month and a half ago. It was at 20 db above. Grossly out of compliance. So, we will see Going Forward and ill report to you about that. Update you about it. I received a complaint about the doing a covert location it 917 fulsome. Theres an issue with a neighbor could obviously its just opened last month, so i talked to the neighbor. I talked to barry. I put them in contact with each other, so i believe it will get resolved. Barry is responsive so i think itll get resolved. Im just going to wait and see how that plays out but i think it will get resolved. I received another complaint about hawthorne, 46 complaint about hawthorne, 46 dear st. I been receiving a lot of complaints about hawthorne but ive been by. Its on my regular route. Id never hear what the complaint complainants are hearing. I stood out there and talk to security for 10 min. In attention to what im hearing. I never hear sound issues in regards to noise coming out of the venue and theyre saying its coming out of the venue, this type of thing. Patrons are lucky i never witnessed that. Im not sure whats going on there. A reader Something Else going on. Maybe it something where this and interior noise issue. Im going to follow up and see what we can buy, but at this point, i reallywith my experience in dealing with a lot of different venues in these types of issues i dont think theres an issue there, but well treated fairly what about the basement of the building . They are belowground is there a lot of president ial run their . I think mostly commercial, right . Osa its mixed. Theres a little bit of commercial and residential also. This am across the street. People always in and out of the building across the street so theres names from taxis or whatever. People standing across the street. Theres a lot of stuff going on that. Art galleries and clothing stores. And the market is right there. So, i mean, im not sure what they are hearing but hopefully well get more detail about it. We were doing with it last year and i dont think i could we did not find any compliance issues. What about maven lane, in the back . This sum was coming there from other places, but are they confused . I dont think they are confused but im not sure ive not gone back there. They used to connect. They used to smoke out in the back but i dont know if they sealed off now. Now people smoke maybe two storefronts down. Can go down there no more. Speak people smoke in front. They probably bought blocked it off now but its weird. Two different complainants. One of the complainants was in contact with inspector burke last year so they been affording new complaints, and then i had a separate complaint that i believe came 2311. I too look in my email to figure out exactly the details but two different complainants right now. Two or three. So, itll be on my regular route but we will see how that turns out. I received a complaint about audio. Nightclub noise issues. I went by. I went to the gm. I went to walk through inspection. They were compliance. Really i think theres a bunch of been using it even if every venue was more than compliant, there was to be a noise issue for people because theres multiple venues. Nevertheless, will treat the complaint as we treat every other complaint. Well do some followup investigation it will start with her residential. See if we can isolate noise to anyone venue. I suspect we cant but audio and beatbox are literally next door to egypt. You have a beatbox complaint also . I do. You cant distinguish from a right . This person is on the corner towardswhat is the cross street. Fulsome. 4 howard st. The audio complainant is on howard street. Are easily dna a complete city block away . Reichard doesnt howard. Andyes, beatbox and audio are located between harrison. Its not harrison. Theres butter. There is dna. There slims. Theres a bunch of venue. So, i dont know shes attributing that to the venue but nevertheless all check it out. Well get to the bottom of that. I also received a complaint from a neighborhood is located behind 11 street on norfolk and he was complaining about beatbox kid i went by on the night i tempted to do a santos. My meter was not working get a minor issue but nevertheless it was not critical to what i was trying to discover anyway. Where he is located, he is adjoined with wish lounge. There is holy cow. Theres beatbox. Theres audio. Its the same issue. Im not sure how to isolate the noise to anyone venue, but nevertheless its the same thing. I went by and so one of the venues is working to try to bring their level into something thats reasonable for him and if it works and works but i suspect it wont. Will do everything we can to respect his complaint and try to do something to help him but this is the beatbox complaint . Yes. The night i went by there was no issue at beatbox. So, its the same as the audio situation. I dont think theres really did he just moved to the neighbor . He did get six months ago. He said he knew about the sound issues but nevertheless this is the situation. Its a minor issues, minor compliance issues. A bar on bush street maybe two books from the seller and other nightlife establishments. About windows open, pager noise or whatever but since its got cold, there has not been any issue with them having the windows open. So thats a nonissue. And the vessel, open back up under new handle 11 propaganda ive not had a chance to do a walkthrough inspection but to security. He came and seems like things are going fine there. I will be by to check it out and ill report to yo
