the city of san francisco sfgtv, meeting of neighborhood services and safety committee, occurring thursday, june 20, 2013, will begin shortly.

good morning and welcome to the june 20, 2013 neighborhood safety and services meeting. the clerk of the committee is derrick evans and we want to thank the following members of sfgtv who are covering the meeting today. mr. clerk, if you could please make the announce /-pls. >> please make sure all cell phone devices are off. items acted upon today will appear on the july 9, 20123 located at 10

california street in district three. >> if we can begin by hearing briefly from the applicant from alcion. >> thank you for bringing my plea today. what we want to do is make a vital home grown and class inclusive kind of establishment at the bottom of california street. the liquor license is integral to the success of the operation. in a nutshell, i would say alcohol and coffee are social

lubricants and we want to make affordable social lubricants for all people to interact -- people who stay at the hyatt across the street, blue color, white collar and everything in between. that kind of business is under threat in san francisco due to rising rent by way of prosperity that -- i have mixed feelings about it but i feel like small businesses are being priced out. i feel like we would like to make an establishment similar to that where -- which was cool, not too serious, but sophisticated enough to appeal to a bunch of different types

of people. >> if i may, one of the things that we always ask anyone who is seeking /aeu /praoufl of this type of license is a little bit about the kind of community outreach that they have done including any communication with the district supervisor. in this case this establishment is in district three. >> we met with supervisor chew the other day and he said he had no problem with it. he said if it was eight blocks north he would have an issue. we've also spoken with the acting captain santos of central station. he gave us advice on how to make the place safe. we met with him earlier this week. we have done some outreach with the local civic

organizations in the area and in my packet i have a few testimonials to that effect. >> i see that. thank you very much. any questions to the applicants? >> no. >> thank you. if we could now hear from our san francisco police department. >> good morning. >> good morning, san francisco police department. alcioni has filed an application seeking a type 48 on sale public general license for [inaudible] 16 california street located on the north side of california street. from march 2012 to march 2013 there were 21 calls

for service -- police calls for service. for that same time period there was one report. this premise is located in plot 154. applicant premises is located in a high crime area. the premises is located in 117. it is in an undue concentration area. there are zero letters of protest and support recorded with the department of california alcoholic beverage control. there is no opposition from the police department if they meet the conditions. the following conditions have been recommended -- sales, service and consumption shall be between 8:00 am 2:00 am daily. the sale of alcoholic beverages

for off sale consumption is strictly prohibited. and please note that on may 31, 2013 there was an email received from mr. dennis leery which states that he agrees with these recommendations. >> thank you. any questions of the tore? inspector? >> no questions. >> why don't we open it up to public comment. if there is any member of the public who'd like to speak on this item. i don't see any speaker cards, but if there are any, please come forward. seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor yee. >> i'm going to go ahead and make a motion to [inaudible] and i have not heard from district chew, but i heard he has no problems with this and

i'm glad the applicant reached out to the district supervisor as our chair has mentioned before earlier, it's real ly important for members of this community to know that any applicant that apply for this type of license or permit would reach out to their supervisor. so i make the motion to move the recommendation. >> great, thank you. so there's a motion on the floor. i will support that motion. i wanna thank you for your presentation, thank you inspector gordon for your work. we want to see community outreach, we want to see an establishment that's working closely with the community. you've done that, you've reached out to the district supervisor and we have been informed that he is supportive. so without objection that motion carries. congratulations. if we can now have item number two.

>> item number two is an ordinance amended the administrative code to transfer responsibility from the department and families to the office of early care and and the child care facilities interagency community. >> this is has been submitted by norman yee, soy so i'll turn it over to him. >> thank you chair campos. before i ask michelle to come up, last year the board of supervisors passed legislation to establish the [inaudible] introducing legislation to shift the responsibility review, the required child care facility study from the department of children youth and families to office early care and education. currently the city requires that any city agency or a private developer can receive city funds for

development project of 50 thousand scare square feet or more if providing an on site child care center. i believe that these studies are properly evaluated by the city. this is common sense clean up language and i hope chair campos -- i can count on your support. and today -- not only that, i'd like to note that this is a new office and it's really time for the city to start highlighting this particular office to start aggressively addressing our child care needs in san francisco. so present this legislation today is michelle from the office of early childhood and education.

michelle. >> good morning supervisors. so as supervisor yee identified, this is really just a technical clean up. it also adds language for the review by the interagency child care facilities committee which includes representative from the first five and the mayor's office of housing the community development folks from the mayor's office offing. we track all pipeline projects in the city and threats to centers so it's a very logical place to look at the feasibility. last year there was a project that -- it was very clear didn't make sense to include child care and it was a fire house that was being redone and it just wasn't a proper use. in that instance we wouldn't want to pay for a full blown

feasibility study. they staff that committee, so it's the team that's looking at it and this is a technical switch over. all the positions from early ed came over from dcf to us so we're lead on that and this follows that. i would mention for the committee that in the last -- since 1998 when we did the cpac needs assessment and supervisor yee chaired that on behalf of cpac, we've been able to grow the number of licensed lots. it takes a lot of effort to do that. child care really doesn't pencil out and it takes a lot of strategies to make

child care work on the capital side and the operating side. this is really one strategy in our toolbox to make sure that we have affordable care options for families in their neighborhoods and we still have a number of unmet needs in the city rehated to child care and we plan to incorporate this along with the other strategies to make sure that we're meeting families' needs. >> it's really important to know that in particular, with development in the pipelines and discussion of the development, that we have the right expertise to look at this. i'm thinking in terms of whether or not the stadium will be built in san francisco. whether or not that can house a child care center. we're looking at issues at pier 70 that's going to be a humongous

development and also the property -- some other development that's going to be happening along the shorelines. it's going to create some opportunities for us and we need some experts to lock at those issues. even [inaudible] development when this takes off we'll be developing a child care center. so i guess the question i have, and for clarification to the audience, why in looking at facilities -- you would naturally think that it's city planning that would fake the responsibility of looking at those issues and what's different about child care that maybe city planning staff may not have the expertise to address? >> well, there's a lot of

unique aspects to what it takes to meet licensing requirements and even the differences between toddler classes and school age care. planning is important in our partnership. we don't have in planning codes a requirement for review in child care in the way we include other aspects. there's been interest in modifying the ing planning code to [inaudible] are partnering with us and paying attention, but they are partnering with us and seeking the expertise from the interagency facilities committee to make sure we're thinking about allowable outdoor space and the square footage needs and the fight line needs and all the various

aspects of making sure the program's licensable. >> thank you. supervisor, do you have any questions, comments? okay. thank you. i have a couple of speakers that would like to address this issue for public comment. you have two minutes to make your comments. first i have candace wong from the advisory council in san francisco and i have erica mayborn. >> good morning supervisors, candace, i'm also director of child care facilities funds and low care investment fund. i think with cpac -- we do a lot of coordination [inaudible] i think
