deputy director mentioned. monday was a holiday. today is tuesday. i did not know this was on calendar tonight. we are getting one side of the story from their legal counsel. we have not had an opinion from the legal department or the city attorney. the fact we're talking about this -- there is a project under foot. i do not see how it would be in the city's best interest or the public's or the industries to set such a standard.

know in san francisco. as much as i enjoy the storytelling of the counselor, it was not brought to the attention that it was going to be on calendar. it is not like things could not be done. i want to make it clear i do not think the police department should be encouraged as a naysayer. police just want to encourage due process. president newlin: anybody else for public comment? matters with the commission -- if you have a month, we have time in our next meeting. if we have time, maybe staff can run it by the city attorney. i certainly do not want to lose

your ability to develop something in that area, where the city needs improvement, especially in that neighborhood. i would not want to do anything that would prevent that from occurring in the long haul. but we do have a process that would be personally -- i would be afraid of going forward with it until we got some directive from the the city attorney -- from the city attorney. with the applicants be amenable to continuing this to the meeting of october 25? >> i would. we would be amenable to that, yes, mr. president. however, i think ms. kane can address this issue. we have been posted 30 days. i am not sure, if it did not go out. that was not our fault.

i think there is a process, and it is statutory in terms of the timeline and the response. i am not sure why zoning did not respond. i am not sure why the police department did not respond. yes, we will take a continuance for two weeks. president newlin: thank you. do we have to vote on the motion? the somebody want to make a motion? no. they requested the two weeks. will we accept a two week extension of this application? >> motion to approve, to continue. >> second. president newlin: excellent. commissioner cavellini: aye. commissioner hyde: aye. commissioner perez: aye. president newlin: item 7, commissioner comments and questions. anybody? >> i wanted to say it is

national coming out day. if you are not out already, do it now. i also wanted to -- howard grayson, who is a longstanding activists -- activist in the city and a long-term member of the harvey milk club. he passed away two thursdays ago. i want to recognize that he will be sorely missed. i think that is it. president newlin: item eight, new business for future agenda items. the what? excuse me. did you want to do a report? a short report? a very short report? [laughter] we have had a lot of action items tonight. >> i will save a few things. i want to rehash what has been

going on in broadway. probably the issue we have right now is with department 24. i would like to maybe sit down with them and hammer out -- we have had a lot of problems. they have just turned over to new owners. we are getting large party buses coming in. it is at capacity. they get off the party bus with a prepaid ticket and cannot get in. it is creating huge problems on broadway. it is overcrowded as well. we have been making sure they are in compliance. lastly, we got a letter from someone that is out of town. i will read it briefly and let you know what we are doing as far as that. "my husband and i are frequent

visitors of -- visitors to the city. we visit giants games, the theater, and many restaurants, as well as other things to do. well there, we stayed in a hotel near the roby sky. on some thursday nights and friday and saturday nights, the clubhouse parties." the person goes into the different issues we have. i contacted roby sky, and we are dealing with that. we are talking about the good neighbor policy. he is extremely receptive. i think we will be able to take care of that. >> i apologize. i wanted to tell officer matthias, since he is here, that the new application for apartment 24 will be in front of the commission in, i don't know -- three weeks? for weeks? -- four weeks?

we will have an opportunity in a formal way to consider that in terms of not just advising, but in terms of conditions. president newlin: 1 comment. i was speaking to some of my colleagues at dpt. they still tow a lot of cars on broadway. the toy trucks are lined up. we see the back end of it. we see the tourists going up there for a nice dinner at night. i think that ask you about this once before, and you felt it was still necessary to control the problems on broadway. the think that is still relevant today? >> is hopeful from the standpoint of traffic, as far as keeping them open, and as far as people not being able to get hold of a weapon while going into their car. i will speak with my captain.

we can come back with his feelings on it as well. president newlin: i would request that if it is determined that it is necessary, we do not seem to be making any progress with the sign shop. we see the back and getting nailed. -- we see the back and getting nailed. the theory behind traffic control is should not be used as a law enforcement function. it is counterintuitive. people are not looking for a towaway. they are going out to dinner. we are not seeing gang bangers coming in. we are seeing live to commit people. -- we are seeing legitimate people. if you want to keep the restriction in force, would you work hard with the captain and

police department to press upon the city engineers, the meter people, or assign people to put individual signs on every meter, just a little sign that says this is towaway on friday and saturday nights? nobody looks for it. i know they have increased some silage, but they are going like crazy out there. we are not telling anybody that is -- we are not towing anybody associated with gangs. we are just penalizing people who come into the city for dinner and entertainment. i hate to see it happen. if that has to be -- if that is necessary, i think we should do stronger out reach to keep people from getting hit so hard. ultimately, they do not want to come back to the city. we are all losing. ok? >> i just want to thank and

congratulate director came and the staff for hosting the eighth birthday party for the entertainment commission two weeks ago, as well as the meeting today. i thought it was a very informative, so thank you. good job. president newlin: it was a very nice party. i got a great picture. item eight, new business request for future agenda items. seeing none, i will officially close the tuesday, october 11 meeting of the entertainment commission of the city and county of san francisco. thank you.
