if someone says north beach, we will find everyone. so, i wanted to let you know that we have a list here of who is on the list so far. it is not that long. if there is a way that you can help to spread the word for people that would jump online and get the city back and put their information in, there would be a better list for everyone. i will throw it over to -- to his back from vacation. >> we have the neighborhood organizations and also the merchant information to anyone who qualifies as a neighbor, we have had discussions here and the commercial entities are still neighbors. >> to that end, --

>> i had gone to the process with city planning to get building permits. they require you to get a notice and to get the organizations that requests it. they have a list of hundreds of them that you have to pay in a lot of money to do these mailings that probably just end up in the trash somewhere. i bring this up because it is beneficial to you and might be a list already in existence. >> the list that is compiled and available to us and anyone is out of date. that has been what we were using and it did not yield the results that we wanted. >> that is all i had.

>> commissioners, having been out of town for the last two weeks, my report is basically nonexistent. what you will see in your binders is a list of some complaints that we are looking into and also you will see a list of incidents that have occurred going back to some of the earliest in july and you will see both in the categories incidence and in violence. we have had some assaults comparatively to past summers and in the past years. it is pretty good. we have done very well. we have not had any major incidences of violence. in the past, our summers have been notoriously bad. this year, we have gone away

pretty good. if you would like to look at that list, if you have any questions there. thank you. >> is to any public comment on the executive director report. we will move right along. we move to the police department comments and questions. is there a joke that you want to tell me about? unfortunately, we will have to adjourn the meeting because of a lack of quorum to do any action items. is there somebody here?

>> the owner requested a continuance. that is an agenda item. >> we cannot even vote on the continuance. >> ok. with the staff do me one favor and contacts loan and say if there application is missing all of the information requested on the application by the next meeting that i cannot afford. he will skip many items on this application. this is not acceptable. >> if i might request, i don't know if this is appropriate or not but given the fact that we have an additional permit on the agenda and i know that you cannot vote on anything. is there something that you can do?

if you will not meet for this to arrive on another agenda. >> what is your staff recommendation on this? >> we should probably talk to them first before we tell you what the recommendation is. >> why did you bring it before the commission? >> the want to read the item? >> this is item five, a hearing and there will be possible action. this is regarding for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment commission. this would be item b, dba cocomo, outdoor loudspeaker

permit. >> it is standard for this to be handled by staff and not go to the commission. kelly we just process them by communicating with the police. this one is before the commission. usually we just process them. the proposed event is on august 28th this would have some doctor music. we have a list of some people of met with us in the past. they are consent. there as to be updated and we did that in advance. on our desk you have a . of some of the responses that we received. we receive them up until today.

it might be worth taking a minute or two. you have concerns. the but condition that i have is the people of the permit if you can balance the approval with mitigating the concerns that they expressed in their e-mails mainly related to the sound base. that is the main gist of the complaints. >> i have a couple of questions in reading one person's e-mail, she says that the ambient db shall not be listed at 45. she has concluded that that would be 53.

that is not correct necessarily. ambient is ambient for that area. unless they have information on what is ambient around kokomo, it might not be 45, it could be 55 or 65. then it might be much higher. unless she took a reading, she took a look at that. >> i've asked within the input relative to the permit. we do send all of these two permit officers. the applicant is here. maybe you want to hear about what that is and -- >> someone from the applicant forward.

>> i am the general manager. this is the promoter for the event. we basically rented the space out for this party on august 28th. this will be a daytime event that will go into the evening. the daytime portion, the lineup for the day is that they will have like a tropical scene because we have a big outdoor patio. to have the music genre for this particular patio would peace also, and then a small band. -- to have the music genre for this particular petty would be -- patio would be salsa and a

small band. there will be other long weekends. there are events that we do with a different promoter. this is a completely different event. we will report to this event. this is the first time we are trying to do this. it sounds like a perfect fit because we are loan for our -- we are known for our sean rush of music. this will be just a sound system alone. everyone is consulting the promoters. we made sure that it would be a small mobile dj set up. there will be two speakers. it will not be a subwoofer or any kind of big amplified sound system. this is a tropical feel for the

patio. the inside of the club, it will be house music. this is for the outside portion. >> any questions? >> i was wondering, you said you're going to have a band? >> there will be deejays and a small ensembles. >> do you think that you need both a deejay and a ban the outside? let me ask because he is doing the event. >> we will start off with a deejay and then when the band comes in, this is the feature of that portion of the event. this is a small band and they will not have anything plugged into an empty. this is a guitar in a couple of drums. >> when i am looking through the complaints, a lot of it is about the base and a lot is about

electronic amplified music. wouldn't it be great for the neighbors to not have to worry about amplified music and really have the stand be the outside music? >> there is a portion that will be the band. >> they will be plugged into something? >> yes. isn't that would usually causes the problems with the neighbors and the amplified sound? >> yes. these are made based on this other event that we usually do. those do have a much bigger sound system but this is town system and they bring them in from brazil and europe. this is like a certain quality of music that they expect. going forward, i will address

that, when those come back up. this will be a much smaller scale as far as the speakers. we have talked about the conditions of having the outdoor sound permits. we should not be able to hear any of this music. we are confident that that will not happen. you should not be able to hear that sound. even with those that are really loud, it seems to be like a lot of the sound that is coming in is towards the later part of the event when there is much more people. we have a constant battle and we will have a sound engineer throughout the whole evening. this has always been the case. the deejays tend to get at the excited. they have control of the

mixtures -- of the mixers. we don't expect that. >> that was one of my primary concerns when this promoter approached us. he has assured me that this is to fill in as far as music is concerned in the patio and this will not be a big sound system, this will be like a concert style. >> where did you meet this promoter? >> i of seeing his promoter before. i have not dealt with this directly, it came to us. >> you check them out and everything? >> as far as the general music, we are very particular right now after several incidences in the past. with everything that has been written, the owner of the building has mentioned that things have gotten better. right now, we are going through

an lot of the concerns from the neighbors and this noise issue is the final issue. we have a really good rapport and -- i recognize some of the names. some of them i don't recognize as far as those who responded. we have constant communication between her and us. we have worked together pretty well. >> i have one question. when the event will move back inside, or is it over? >> this will move inside. >> when you move inside, will it be the full blown out space? >> it will be our regular sound system which we operate. >> you will make sure it is contained in the building. >> the reason why this

particular permit was brought to the commission was on the last outdoor loudspeakers event which listed july 4th weekend, we had a lot of noise complaints. the loudspeaker permit went to 8:00. most of those were after the 8:00 mark. what i did this afternoon is that i went out and with a measuring device, i measured this from the borders, not the best and we might lose something here. it is to get an idea of where these people live. this is where the cafe is. that is where 250 feet will wind up.

denise is here on the dock. that is where she lives. she is complaining about the noise about a block away. we can get some more noise complaints from the people that live on minnesota street. i don't think any ofi nothing te complained today about this matter. another complaint was from 601, minnesota. and then one man complains about the noise, and all of the violence. this is the apartment building off the map. i am neutral on this permit. the permit that we have is we go to the visit the noise problem. i know that denise is always very vocal about this, and

always makes their concerns known. something is just not clicking here. we are detailing what 250 feet maine. -- mean. this is an issue, and this is an issue that needs to be figured out. and also, this is where the residents are at. these buildings close up at night. they have problems keeping this under control. >> thank you. >> use of the last complaint was from july 4. >> july 4, we had the july 4 weekend. and maybe this was the second or the third.

this was sunday evening. >> do you know how many complaints that you are getting, in general? >> particularly, we had a couple of calls -- to the non-emergency number. there were from two different people. but this goes on quite often. i think they have the feeling that they should say that nothing will happen, anyway. i think that this is something to be considered. >> i know that you cannot rule on this, tonight, but directing the staff is what i am after. you have the conditions that may be the most helpful, and i ask for them to come up with some possibilities that will

include, what do we have? this is still not enough. and so, maybe he can throw some ideas during this game. >> this may be there in set of conditions because this is going to be something that will fall back to the staff. the issue with the conditions that are not. this would be helpful. >> i am comfortable with that, but i would caution the people running this that if this blows up, you will not see much cooperation out of me in the future. you have to set your own future with how you handle this. and you have to follow the guidelines of the staff. >> this will be my first test as a new commissioner and i am not willing to go to the fire, especially if you had all these

other problems. and you said how at the end of the knightnights, the dj goes u. i know that you can set of volumes so that they cannot push this higher, so you do have control over what they will do. you can put a block as to how high this can go. and you can take responsibility for that noise. you cannot say that they are responsible for this. >> ok. and is there any public comment? this concludes the meeting. >> you have to admit, yo uget paid a -- you get paid anyway. >> and thank you for coming in.

>> iould like to call this meeting to order.

this is our quarterly meeting of the disaster council. i am anne kronenberg, executive director of department of emergency management for the city and county of san francisco. before i have the mayor give his opening remarks, i would like to ask everyone who has one of these things to please turn it off, put it on silent or vibrate for us. that would be very helpful. mr. mayor? >> thank you. thanks, everyone. welcome to the second meeting of this year for our disaster council and, again, i want to signal my appreciation and i know supervisor chiu, our board president who's here today, is also welcoming of everyone here today to focus on national awareness month. we recognize events happen all over the world, not only new zealand, not only japan but what

we all kind of felt the weird earthquake on the east coast, it's still a constant reminder our percentages are going higher here as years go by that we have to be even more ready. i want to signal a very, very clear appreciation for the departments that anne is working with, your level of cooperation from our fire to police. but every other department and then as importantly, our utilities and our agencies that we're working together with as well. nonprofit world are just as important. it's my intention and goal in working with the board of supervisors to make sure everyone is prepared. and not only prepared for the 72 hours. we know we've got that down now as our city standard. but i want to make sure that we look beyond it. i want to make sure that people who are just arriving now to live in our city can immediately know that that's part of our culture here. and they also want to know that we're going to go well beyond

response. we have to get people ready to recover as well because our whole city, survival will be on thinking forward about the things that we can do now to really land a quick recovery. it's going to happen and we know it's going to happen, whether it's manmade or hopefully it's more of the natural disasters that we expect. but i know our police and fire and immediate public safety departments like d.e.m. are ready. we're always ready and perfecting that as we do the exercises that we go on. but it's really the community and the expectations and the new arrivals and the people who aren't paying attention every day, whether or not they understand our siren system, whether they understand our education, whether they understand our websites. hopefully in the multiple language that's we want to make sure that they understand that and getting themselves ready for something that we see all around the world, so many examples of

people not being ready where they could have been and even on the east coast, they should be ready as well. so they're learning from those lessons. i just wanted to share that with you as we go through the number of events that occurring this year, end of this year, the fall is obviously when we both celebrate, commemorate but also remind ourselves october, we have fleet week, where one of the most important things they're doing is the exercise that we're doing with the navy, with all of our response networks and agencies. so i want to welcome you again to the council and, again, thank you for everything that you're doing. and for your leadership and for also making sure that our whole city is unified in getting better prepared and also working for response. >> thank you. >> thank you, mayor lee. i will be brief in my remarks. i did enclose a director's

report in your packet. it's the green sheet. i'm not going to read the entire thing but i want to highlight a few things since our last meeting. we have been very busy. just most recently we did activate our e.o.c. on september 11. we were prepared for the worst and thankfully the wostt did not happen but we do take every opportunity that we can to activate and we get better each time that we do. the police department had their department operation center activated that day as well and whenever we activate, we learn new things. at our last meeting, i mentioned laura phillips had retired from the urban area security initiative as general manager. since that time, craig deasac, who worked in the assessor's office as attorney was on loan for a period of months and he did such a great job that the approval authority offered him

the position, asked him to come on as permanent g.m. so that happened august 18th. so we now have new leadership there and things are going along very well. in june, we had the national uacy conference in san francisco. it was a huge success. it was the fifth annual conference and it was the biggest conference to date. everyone loves san francisco. people came. they spent money. it was wonderful. and the weather cooperated. you know, our weather this summer has not been the best but that particular week, it was outstanding. i wanted to just mention we're in the process of going to become e-map certified, which is the emergency management accreditation program certification. it's a long process. it's very complicated. it's involves self-assessment and it involves around the

country. we will be when we get through the process the first city on the west coast to be e-map certified and one of the very few in the nation so we're very excited about that. just to piggyback on the mayor's remarks about resiliency. we have been working as part of the clinton global initiative on resilient efforts with the harvard kennedy school and so this year, you will be hearing much more upcoming disaster council meetings about the plans that we're putting in place and we're very excited about that. going to roll it out beyond just emergency preparedness and into the economy and health and transportation and other areas. something that is very exciting, on i think october 15th, we're going to kickoff a new app, iphone
