vice chair joseph: do you have a liquor license? >> no. they wanted to wait a year. vice chair joseph: this is definitely 21 and over no matter what? >> right, just because they felt it would be an easier demographic. president newlin: thank you. any public comment on that proposal? seeing none, do we have a motion? vice chair joseph: i move to approve, with the police conditions striking the indoor cameras and the requirement to turnover the video upon demand, and increasing the minimum from 15 days to 30 to keep the footage. commissioner meko: i second that. president newlin: ok.

>> same house and call? president newlin: i think so. thank you, and good luck. item six, commissioners comments and questions. vice chair joseph: just me. once again, san francisco pride -- just so you know, san francisco pride is the weekend of june 24. the streets from city hall will start to close at 7:00 on friday night, june 24, and will not reopen until 6:00 a.m. on june 27. the event is sunday. on the main stage is sandra bernhart. kinds of acts. the state opens at 11:00. we have the city of refuge

choir, which is pretty awesome. we have a 15-cast production number from "tales of the city." it is full of good and interesting stuff. be there or be where -- beware. that is my comment. president newlin: any others? commissioner meko: director kane, refresh my memory. last meeting i believe you reported on supervisor weiner's intention to introduce legislation loosening up the -- you have done research for me. could you explain the legislation again? >> sure. supervisor weiner is working on legislation to amend 1070, which covers extended hours premise says.

at the moment, it requires -- premises. at the moment, it requires security for late-night eating establishments just like you would for a place of entertainment. there is a restaurant in his district that had issue with a security plan requirement and asked him to investigate removing that. it is still being discussed, the legislation, and the form which it takes, whether it removes it altogether or could remove it from certain types of eating establishments and not others. when we get an actual piece of legislation, we will share it with the commission. commissioner meko: so this is a list of all of the restaurants that have afterhours place of entertainment permits that incidentally require a security plan? >> there is a list of all of our

current licensed extended hours permits. you will see nightclubs. you will see doughnut shops. you will see pizza parlors. only knows what is on there. there is roughly 115. some come and go. you may have people who have recently closed. that is updated by the tax collector every six months or so. those give you a sense of the universe we are talking about. commissioner meko: that helps. my other question, i believe, was how many violations have we had with regard to any of these venues in the seven-plus years? i only recall one pizza place that kept coming back when commander dudley was our frequent guest at these hearings.

>> that is about right. the things do happen. fights to occur occasionally in front of -- but for the most part, the majority of those on there, you will not recall ever having been reported to the commission for any kind of problem. commissioner meko: all right. this list and that information should be useful to supervisor weiner. >> no problem. president newlin: anybody else? any public comment? final item, new business request and future agenda items. seeing none -- vice chair joseph: i have one. i would like to ask my fellow commissioners -- when should we schedule our elections? election time is coming up.

we can do it on june 28 or we can do it the first meeting in july, which is what date? am i going to be here? the 12th. i will be here. i will be here if i get reappointed. it is up to you. if it is going to be the 28th, we should let staff know now. and it is good to be in july, we should let staff know that as well. july? july, july? i am asking for a first meeting in july to schedule elections. thank you. i am done. president newlin: anybody else? seeing none, thank you, everybody. this includes the regular meeting of the entertainment commission for the city and county of san francisco.

>> good afternoon. thanks so much for joining us. we are excited to could be here

today. the assessor recorder cost of this is excited to announce it again that we have come to the rescue of the city budget. over the years, we have been able to continue to bring in more money than expected. this year was no exception. even given the huge hurricane of appeals, we are able to bring in about $50 million above our projection for the city budget. that will help this year's city budget and also next year's budget. behind me are some of the people who will talk about the very important things that the money will go to. just to give you a sense of what we are talking about, the $50 million is almost 20% of the $300 million budget deficit. we also want you to know, $24 million of that will go to the general fund. if it were allocated exactly as

general fund was broken up, then it would be $9.5 million for public safety, $6.5 million for human services, $5.2 million for health services, $4.5 million for the seven credit of five school district. we are using these numbers as illustrations, if there were exactly broken up into the dollar amounts that the general fund is allocated. what is so exciting is that just by making sure we do a better job and making sure that everybody pays their fair share that we are able to make a pretty huge impact on the city budget. what is critical as i know that when you hear the dollars, it is hard to comprehend what that means. i have a few folks here to join me who will be here to explain that in a much more detailed fashion. i also wanted to say we have been able to bring in extra money while at the same time

dealing with over 12,000 appeals in the last two years and at the same time, down about 17,000 reductions in property last year, which we also will be reviewing. at the same time we have had to reduce money for some, it shows that even after making people pay their fair share on the downside, we have still been able to bring in 50 million extra dollars. we promised the city almost $47 million, and we are able to bring almost $97 million in this year in what we call supplementals, and that is the additional revenue of property tax dollars. with me are a couple of friends. one is linda from united educators. she is going to talk. and then we have guadeloupe from ace. and then elizabeth from seiu 1021, and they will be able to share with you the real nuts and bolts.

>> good afternoon, everybody. i am the executive vice president of the united educators of san francisco. as executive vice president of united educators of san francisco, we represent the teachers and classified staff who work in our early childhood education program and our k-12 program. i have seen the devastation to the schools as the education budgets have been cut. you are all weary of stories of children without teachers, of classrooms without supplies, of schools dropping programs, and paraprofessionals and teachers being laid off. although at this point, 92 teachers and 10 paraprofessionals have been recalled from layoffs just this year. we still have nearly 200 fewer key school personnel with us for

next year. that is our great concern. the difficult work done by our assessor and the dedicated men and women who serve in his office have made a dent in the juggernaut that is bearing down on the schools. the $4.5 million that will go to san francisco unified school district banks to the collection of the nearly $50 million surplus, will poke a hole in the juggernaut of the gathering clouds and shine a little light on the school district. the children of san francisco, the members of the united educators of san francisco, and the school community of what phil and his office for the work that they have done in san francisco. because here, we see the san francisco values are more than just lip service. but our real and mean providing the resources to take care of our children. this is why we are pleased to be

here. we thank filled for his efforts. -- we thank phil for his efforts. >> [speaking spanish] >> my name is chris martinez. i am translating. she said good afternoon. -- my name is grace martinez. she said she is a child at the heart and a member of days. -- child at brett hart and member of grace. "my concern are all the cuts that have affected our schools."

>> [speaking spanish] >> it is necessary that we find funds for education and to improve services for our families. we need to be able to work and have the capacity to have good working jobs. thank you very much. >> good afternoon. i am the political action share for seiu local 1021 and a nonprofit worker here in san francisco. we represent workers, rn's and other health-care providers in

community clinics and in general hospitals. we represent the classified nutrition workers and the school secretaries and the folks that keep your schools clean. we also represent many of the nonprofits, especially supportive housing and mental health care. this is, for us, the third year of straight cuts in a row. we see things in san francisco that we have not seen before. we see recreation programs close, parks locked up during the day, basic city services take longer. lines are longer. and because of layoffs and freezing of front-line positions. workers in both nonprofit and the public sector have given out of their paycheck over and over again to try to help close these deficits, and it has been devastating. our family programs, youth violence prevention, aid services, and supportive housing. it is exciting to think that there is other ways of dealing

with the budget deficit, not just cuts. there is actually weighs, and thanks to phil tin's leadership and the hard work of this office, we are able to see that being aggressive in a collection of existing revenues is also a way that we can look at the budget, and it has given a lot of hope to our workers. it has given a lot of hope to people who are very concerned and scared in these times of budget. it proves that the good work and education of this office has brought a lot of hope to education workers and people who rely on these services. we hope to continue to work together. thank you. >> thank you. i think you heard that the money that we bring is so critical to make sure that classroom sizes can still be maintained, that teachers can stay in classrooms instead of being sent to the

streets, that health glasses can continue to be open, and parents relying on these critical city dollars can really read some of the benefit. one thing we do -- i do want to make sure you all know -- is going into next year's budget, which we hope will be approved by the board is we are asking -- we got from the mayor and additional 15 people on a temporary basis to come in and help to continue to clear up the rest of our backlog. we were hoping that by bringing in this team that we were able to do an additional $30 million that is already in the budget, so it is additional from when we first started our budget discussions a few months ago, and by bringing in this team, we will hopefully be able to reap significant benefits. all these numbers are already factored into the budget, so it -- there is no additional money that the mayor released, but

instead of cutting that $30 million, instead of laying off people, we are able to keep those services whole and keep going. i think it is so critical. i think the people who should be thanked are the hard work and staff of this office. let me just stop here for a second and see if we have any questions. >> [inaudible] >> great question. this year, we went in with a conservative number, given the fact that we thought the market was really not in a very good place. we also anticipated that we were going to spend almost all of our time doing appeals. part of it is as we were doing appeals, we looked at what types of revenue we were leaving on the table. about halfway through, i redirected the office and said even if it means pushing off some of the appeals to next year, we have to make sure we're

bringing this money for the city budget. part of it was a slight redirection of staff this year and also the fact that there was actually more stuff anticipated in back -- in that. >> [inaudible] >> the way it goes is just what any city and county, with the county brings in money, part of it will go into all the different cities, and part of it goes to the state. we get roughly about 57% of the money, and the rest goes to the state. san francisco unified -- their money is part of that state part of money. even though in theory it is going to the state, it is coming back to the city. the cost of the additional workers, my recollection -- i think it is under $1 million. the city spends $1 million to go

get $30 million. it is a pretty good return. even wall street would think that. >> [inaudible] >> the beginning of the year, yes, that is right. >> [inaudible] >> i think the nine-month report was -- i will have to go back and double check, but i think it was, like, $55 million. but we can get that. yes. we are very happy because part of the reason there's a little bit of lag time is we do the assessments, and the other side is the one who collects the money. part of it is making sure we are

constantly seeking up, and we are ecstatic that we can help cut out almost 20% of the $300 million deficit, save a lot of jobs. great. the only thing i was going to say was [inaudible] oh, yes. the only thing i would hold out is obviously, we have worked about 12,000 appeals this year, but we did hand out a chart of all the appeal still remaining. i think we still have about 6000 appeals still left. that is going to require a lot of time. the reason why this is important to note is that if we do not challenge the appeals, then the city would automatically lose all that money. it is tens of hundreds of -- potentially millions of dollars of tax revenue that we could be losing. we always make sure that we are constantly looking at that and making sure that everybody turn in their fair share to make sure that assessment is accurate.

we still have about 6000 appeals left right now. >> [inaudible] >> we have two years to work the appeals. we anticipate getting most of these done this year, but there will still be more to get the next year. great. thank you so much for being here, and thank you for [inaudible]
