a conversation with people who generally when we have talked to them are like, seeing 3 in the morning and we're shooting something down. -- it is 3 in the morning and we are shutting something down. we're slowly working getting the karaoke places in. we have been able to get another two or three complaints in the last month. we are working through them. slowly but surely we are getting to them. you will see the areas of patrols, we will see what we're looking at right now. we are getting some complaints on the saturday and sunday brunches. first there has not been anything recently but is still seems to be a volatile space. these are and permitted spaces.

there has been a recurring events at both locations. the good news is that we have talked to the building manager and the tenants that had been using the space to run a permanent venue had just been evicted. we were hoping that the problem would go away. some of the reports we received recently from sfpd under incidents of -- sorry, number 12. you'll see it listed. this one deserves a little bit of explanation. it was negligent disarm of a firearm by a security guard. i bring this up and it has been discussion amongst staff on the relevancey of having armed

security at entertainment venues and whether or not this is really necessary and what is possible and you know, what are our options in regulating that action. this is a great example, an argument for there not being armed security at these nightclubs. a scattered making a bad judgment, fortunately nobody was hurt. we will be following up with sfpd to regulate the security guards. we're in contact with both agencies and lending our support and help there on what they need to follow that case through. also, we had a weird kind of situation with shots fired at fluid. we had reports of shots fired but that is sketchy at best. the only reports we had of

damage are damage from slugs across the street. again, working with southern station, we're looking into this particular case. there seem to be some facts missing, if shots were fired, it was well after the shots were closed. there seem to be some big questions on this particular case. we'll continue to keep the commission informed as we work with the station on that. officer mathias is here from central. he will go over the incidents we had at central. again, for this time of year, i have to say that it is not that bad. i mean, going into june, july, august, these are the times of year traditionally when we see a rise in violence in entertainment venn use and so far we're not seeing that spike. hopefully that will maintain. we'll really know by the end of june. so far, so good. that's it for my report.

>> thank you. any questions by the commission? yes? >> i wanted to thank the inspector for attending the leadership council last week and commissioner joseph also made an appearance and thank you very much for your remarks. building exppings commissioner deborah walker was also in attendance and we had a good cross section of the community as well. the theme for the event was underground entertainment. the good, the bad and the ugly. the way the meeting turned out, we sort of took that in reverse order and started with the incidents and proceeded to the bad ones and ended really on kind of a good note. i think the most important thing that we accomplished from all of this is folks who are involved

in underground entertainment came away from it knowing that they have a seat at the table too. so there is a good, healthy dialogue that started. so thank you all very much. >> thank you, commissioner meko. anybody else? any public comment on the executive director's report? seeing known, we'll go to item number four. regarding proposed action for dapting a recommendation concerning this ordinance. i was informed by our executive director that this issue will not be heard by the board until close to the end of the year so i had recommended to her and in agreement with the commission we get a motion to continue it until it takes its final form and we have something specific to discuss closer to the time

that it is going to be open for enactment. yes? commissioner meko? commissioner meko: it should be under the 30-day rule. has the supervisor's office requested a delay in this? >> no, commissioner but it was made clear to me that the planning department had to hear some portion of this. >> but there are time constrainted -- constraints under which the planning commission must hear it. >> it is my understanding they will not be hearing it until august. >> august. well, the supervisor must have requested that delay or agreed to it for it to be put off that far into the distance.

i will move to continue it. >> and i'll second it. >> ok. >> may i -- >> very good. ok. any public comment on that? none. ok. item number five. police department comments and questions. officer mathias, welcome. >> good evening. steve mathias from central station. i had a few incidents over the weekend. i will just kind of go into the major ones. there was a stabbing incident at 2:23 a.m. may 22. a large crowd and people fighting in the street near the condor club. police activated sirens to disperse the crowd. seven officers responded. within moments a victim came up and approached the officers that

he had been stabbed. the officers checked him out and called the ambulance for him and saw that he had been stabbed three times. three-inch also a nation the left arm and a laceration in the and and a laceration in the upper left thigh. the victim was extremely uncooperative. he could not say what the person looked like and where he went. the person ended up going to hospital in the ambulance. the condor club assisted with allowing the officers look at their surveillance camera. there is a -- there is a small restaurant that is right there so it happened right in front of that. i have to say that the condor club was helpful. we're still trying to get video from little darling's to see if we can find anything from that video as well. there was an assault may 22 about 10 minutes until 2:00.

this one i talked to joslyn about. the victims left the club followed by suspects across the street. one victim fell to the ground causing a large gash across his head. a female victim sustained a cut to her hand and a third victim was punched in the face. issues that i have here with the club is the overserving. in the police report it talked about -- number one, i would like to know where the security was during the fight. in the narrative i didn't see anything about that. the other part is the overserving. all three people apparently were intoxicated. in the report, mention one of the victims by name. very intoxicated. another one said she had no idea how and when she sustained her injuries. the third victim, the one punched in the face was

intoxicated and vomiting outside the nightclub and he was punched once in the head. with the overserving. these are just the victims. i don't know the suspects and how much they were served. that intoxication level goes against abc. when we talk about the clubs being responsible, they are responsible for the safety. just giving the patrons all of this alcohol just to make some extra money causes great problems. there could have been -- injuries were pretty significant here. non if you got a chance to look at -- i don't know if you got a chance to look at the reports. they were pretty significant injuries. a lot of this could have been avoided by not overserving. we'll talk about retraining. the last incident was on may 15

at club slide. the victim went toward the bathroom. just before he got into the bathroom. somebody asked him where he was from. before he could respond he was punched in the face and attacked by several suspects. the victim went back to table, told his friend, got security, went back to the suspects. they were then attacked again. police made the arrest for the two felony assaults on the one suspect. the other people got away. there was a pickpocket at the ambassador club at 673 gary street. there was a barroom brawl friday night at mojitos. the fight was abated prior to the police arriving. >> any questions? >> just tell me, do you agree with me that the new weapon of choice is high heels? >> we're seeing high heels more

and more. >> i have seen high heels used at least on two different occasions. makes me think i have to start wearing high heels. just to keep safe. >> i don't go out without them. [laughter] >> looking at the injuries, they are pretty significant. they have a puncture. >> i saw a girl's cheek pierced by a high heel. >> any other questions? any public comment on the report? thank you very much. >> thank you. >> all right. >> i bet you look cute in high heels. >> you bet. hearing and possible action regarding an -- applications for permits under the jurisdiction over the entertainment commission. item a, michael o'connor, d.b.a.

brick and mortar, 1710 mission street place of entertainment. >> this was received last month, april 13. in your pact, yourl find a detailed resume detailing prior experience as an operator as well as through a thorough business plan. the recommendations for sfp drnch pretty straightforward and consistent with the kind of good neighbor policy and the planning department also approves of this permit and i believe the applicant is right here. >> mr. o'connor. >> thank you. >> anything you would like to say? >> i guess the location most people are probably familiar with it.

there have been a few different entertainment venues. some people think the location might be a bad location. i think it is a good location because it is in the middle of a lot of different neighborhoods. it is walkable and drivable from neighborhoods in the middle of the city where a lot of latin music goers live. i think one issue that might be worth addressing is the fact that there has been a lot of criticism of live music clubs with respect to honoring the food component and i'll be partnering with one of my favorite restaurants in the bay area. it is in oakland. it is a top 100 restaurant and the chef there is going to do

brick oven pizza at brick and mortar. it will be open for lunch and dinner. while we have seen many kind of supper club-type places fail, this will not be a supper club, it will be a very casual non-reservation, non-open table type of comfortable community seating for the earlier food component part. so there will be -- the food sales will properly satisfy state's requirements to have an all age type-47 license. at least that is the intent. i think it should work. i will do the majority of the booking of the music. it will be live music from all different types of genres and all different types of demographics, which for some people it is confusing because there is no set type of vibe at the sclub but i personally like

it because it always stays different and interesting and that's part of the reason why i keep doing this. i can't help but bring this up. part of my security policy is going to include no high heels alive. [laughter] you have to be wearing flats. >> great. >> sorry. no disrespect. >> commissioner meko? commissioner meko: you have experience with other type 47 venn use? >> i do. i have a live music club in oakland and the hibiscus food

program and live music program and the independent and the justice league never had food or don't have food. and so i don't have an abundance of experience but i definitely now have experience. >> what -- do you think about extra security needs for a venue that does direct a 121 crowd. have you taken that into account? >> when we have a show that will be promoted as an all-age show, we will have extra security. that is written into the contracts that i submit to agents to get the show. >> great. can you tell us a little bit about any outreach that you have done to the surrounding community? >> i did do the outreach to one of the local neighborhood activists upon a recommendation

and that thr didn't really seem to be that much concern about the reopening of it but i will continue to kind of like stay alert to their interests. i've reached out to the other businesses, specifically the restaurant on the corner, westwood gardens. >> woodward gardens. >> it is a really cool restaurant just to say hey, we can send out emails to people who buy tickets to support business, which is not the same as what you're talking about but they are immediate neighbors. >> ok. it is a challenging neighborhood. good luck to you. >> yeah. >> i have one question and two comments. the only question is that i guess where they talked about parking, you answered in meters.

>> there is a kind of an abundant of meter parking. >> oh, is that what you meant? i thought you meant meters instead of feet. i misunderstood. my comment was going to be, you know, i think that -- i think that it is a great idea that you're opening up there with the coming of public works. that neighborhood is changing. when you get in early on the change, it is good for the neighborhood, it is going to be good for you. my other comment is i've watched you grow in other venues whether it was the justice league or new parish. although there have been a lot of failed venues in that space, i know you can make that work. you don't put aufl of your eggs in one -- all of your eggs in one space. i think you're going to do great there. good luck to you. >> thank you.

just -- to address the parking. we worked out a deal with the electrical -- parts -- right around the corner. like r.k., it is right on -- under the freeway and we're going to be leasing their parking lot for any time we have a busy show, we'll pay them to allow us to allow people to park there. that was -- they were surprisingly helpful. >> all right. yes. commissioner perez? >> you guys will be doing your own in-house security? >> yes. >> can you talk about your experience doing security? >> aside from just generally the management of a series of different live music venues, for example, at the independent, it is all in-house security.

and i think it works most of the time. i think if you're going to have a certain show that you think you might have a problematic, what i do in oakland, for example is i mostly have it in house and if i think there is any slight possibility of a more aggressive element, if you want to say that, whatever, first of all, i book all kinds of music and i will not book hip-hop. i book all kinds of music. if i book hip-hop and i think there will be a majority, more men than women, i will hire bonded security. and if i really think it might be a problem, i'll actually alert the police ahead of time, but there is rarely a problem. >> ok. >> any public comment on this request? seeing none, with we have a -- >> i move the approve. >> second.

>> clarification on any additional conditions or standard conditions? just the regular good neighbor policy. concur, all right. >> good luck. >> ok. item number b, leong, alan, d.b.a., l 2 karaoke. >> it is a lounge on fillmore. the planning department has notified us that they recommend denying the application right now until the venue has an opportunity to comply with planning code section 312. notifying neighbors of this

being another entertainment purpose. at the moment i recommend that you continue this item until the applicant has either initiated that process or completed it. >> ok. comments? any public comments? seeing none. we have a motion to continue. >> i move to continue. >> seconded. >> ok. item number seven. commissioner's comments and questions. commissioners? >> just that i completed the line of the san francisco pride this year, we sandra bernhard, linda perry's new band which is deep, dark robots. if anybody doesn't know linda perry, she was part of four

nonblondes and has recently written and produced music for acts like pink. it is going to be a very full, complete and interesting stage. i invite you all there sunday june 26 from noon on. thank you. >> public comment on the commission 're's comments? no? item number eight. new business requests for future agenda items. commissioners? >> good evening, commissioners. i just want to let you know that on june 14, we are -- 401 broadway in san francisco, i will come before you for broadway billiards academy and we went through land use,

planning commission with no opposition. there was a lot of outreach done because of the nature to have broadway corridor and there were -- of the broadway corridor and there were 13 letters of support and five collective bodies like north beach. the communication with the central police department i would say was stellar and excellent and we are going to receive some conditions for that and they will be reasonable and customary and i'm sure that the applicant is going to accept those. i just want to say it is one of those things a the outreach was long, hard and extensive but at the same time at the end of the day, all the parties are in agreement, in accord. i look forward to that. >> thank you very much. >> ok. no further public comment, this adjourns the may 24 meeting of

the san francisco entertainment commission. thank you. >> well done, commissioners. >> mayor edwin lee is joining us today. i can tell you he is an incredibly powerful advocate for our industry as well as helping to lead probably one of the strongest powwows we've had in a long time. let's all well come mayor lee.
