don't just take a stand, act.

to three minutes at the time such item is called. is there anybody that would like to address the commission that is not on the night's agenda? simenon, review and approve the minutes of july 12. and july 26, august 9 and october 11. is there a motion? >> second. >> ok. >> i am going to start over here. [roll call vote] >> ok, the august 9 meeting minutes will have to be continued. the meeting of july 12 can be heard. can we have a motion?

no, on -- when? july -- the 9th we can't do. but we can do -- we can't do the 26th, but we can do july 12. four people were at that meeting. no, you're right. the remainder of the minutes will have to be continued. >> can someone make a motion for those continuances? >> i move to continue. >> second. >> same house, same call. >> item #3, report of the executive director. >> that's me. i have a lot to talk about and i

will try to be fast about it. i haven't seen you guys in a while. i wanted to update you on commission appointments. as you know, commissioners, there are four of you out there and an additional commissioner that is not here because of the vacation. there are two vacancies on the commission right now. in terms of creating a corps of -- quorum. we will use these numbers because they are the only thing that are consistent year after year. siege #2 and seeded no. 6. there is an announcement -- seat number two and seat number six. potentially december 1 and if need be, december 15 at the latest.

we need more people to apply to that position, so if anybody watching or the commission would like to help promote that announcement and that c., that will be really helpful. the male role appointment is on hold, -- mayoral appointment is on hold up until today. it will take some time for the mayor's office to move forward but we will be certainly be asking them on a regular basis. you should be aware that the mayor's office has been commenced -- will be requesting to speak with you if the attendance is above 75%. there have been quarterly attendance records oat their request. i think the intent to publish them as well.

in an effort to use peer pressure and shame to get you to appear. [laughter] just an fyi. we are moving slowly but surely on credit card payment ability and online forms. i didn't get funding in the fiscal year to get that on line per matt going forward. i have put nicholas on the tasked for moving the payment a little more quickly. it takes too much time in government and hopefully we will see it by the end of the year. that is moving ahead and hopefully we will continue to update you and be able to say that we are live and on line. if you want to pay for your permits, you can do it with a credit card. again, i think i reported this on the date of this meeting.

october 11, we had america's cup information session and it was really well attended. while they are still in the early planning stages, the event authority is interested in making sure that the nightlife community and the visitors take part in not just watching boat races but getting into the neighborhoods, staying in hotels. we will make sure that the entertainment industry is involved as it moves forward. i also wanted to let you know that along with the local grammy chapter and the film commission will be hosting a joint mixer from 6:00 until 9:00 p.m.

hopefully, we will be making this quarterly. i attached a flier to your report. if anyone is interested, please come and let other folks know that there will be an event a blank that you can rsvp -- event link you can rsvp. in the last month, there have been to corrective actions we have taken based on violent incidents. based on an incident on the ninth of october regarding a discharge of a firearm, another permit violation staff suspended poe 804 issued to mike at the room for seven days. that suspension began the fourteenth of october. he did not reopen the venue and

has since transferred ownership. i believe they are in possession but they are not operating -- they are almost done with the their permits. today, based on an incident that occurred halloween evening, essentially, and and around the permanent venue had john collins said 138 ministry, the incident resulted in an aggravated assault and the security plan violations. staff and the permit officer met with the permit holders today to discuss the police report that was quite lengthy and the security breaches. i will be issuing a director's order to impose conditions on john collins pursuant to police cut a section 1060.

that will be done - -police c -- poliecce code section 1060. that will be done and hopefully we will have no problems again. that concludes my report. president newlin: you will see in your packets, two pages, one for tonight and also won for the twenty fifth of october which was the last meeting. you'll see a few of the things we are currently looking into complaints wise. -- complaint-wise. a west trigger for sound, neighbor complains. and we are looking at casa sanchez, also for sound. we are still looking into that particular venue for complaints,

working whicith richmond statio. and also at 1108 howard street, an unpermitted venue that we are monitoring closely. we have given them of this, a warning twice. we think they are starting to behave. we are still looking at triggerman and at 11 l a -- trigger and 1108. casa sanchez and rocket room as stated earlier is turning into a bigger problem than first expected. when you will see lists of sfpd incidents. the permit officer will go over some of the happenings in his district.

just as director caen said earlier, if the commissioners have any questions on those incidents, i can answer them. you'll also see lists of citations given out over the last month. any questions on those sheets? >> the pub, what was the permit violation? >> it was open after 2:00 and blocking the sidewalk and partially the street. moving part of the interior of the pub to the exterior environment in the form of tables and chairs for the world's cup rugby tournament.

>> i am in that neighborhood and i don't usually see that kind of action. i was curious. president newlin: any public comment on the executive director's report? seeing none, item 4. police department comments and questions. >> good evening, commissioners and staff. a couple incidents over the last couple of weeks. we were out their halloween weekend. a couple things on sunday at club horizon. a brief narrative.

a 19-year-old male operated, -- entered, he drank vodka until he passed out. the medics arrived in transported the subject to a hospital for treatment. the same night about 12:30 at the hyatt regency, a 22-year-old female was punched in the face. no suspect in custody. they did recover the tooth. at 12:25am at the impala, the victim was punched in the face for reportedly no reason. on saturday at atmosphere, security attempted to inject one

aggressive and intoxicated patrons. another friend also refused to leave. the two were pushed out into the street where a fight ensued between security and suspects. police intervened and they used his baton to take them into custody. the level of intoxication at the club, sometimes you'll have fights. they seem to happen more often when people are loaded up. we look at what they're doing right and what they're doing long, but over serving is always a problem. someone might have a couple drinks before they get there, but it is incumbent on the staff to monitor the people to see who's drinking. at 1:45, the victim was walking

toward montgomery and was struck at the face. he went to sfgh for treatment. the suspect approached him and told him that he would stabbed the victim if he told anyone he. the victim told deputies and the suspect was arrested at the hospital. about 10 to 12 males were inside the establishment when they began to inappropriately grope female dancers. they warned of them fails to stop and that they were intoxicated and continued aggression. this is when the group became hostile between security and the combatants.

employees were able to escort the group out for a physical confrontation continued. going back to the theme of overserving. it resorts to problems. questions or comments? president newlin: seeing none, thank you very much. any public comment on the report from the police department? seeing none, item number five. hearing and possible action, bigelow, william. pourhouse, limited live performance. >> there are four applications for permits and before you tonight. this is the first one into the first of the limited live

performance applications. the pour houshouse is up the st, wine, beer, and light food. a couple letters came in late that supported the application. i will let william come up and tell you about his business. >> i'm the owner of the pourhouse, i have a small wine bar and we are looking to do limited live performances there. higher appreciate you approving this. president newlin: any commissioners have questions? anyone from the public which to address this application? >> motion to approve.

>> second. president newlin: aye. commissioner hyde: aye. commissioner cavellini: aye. president newlin: aye. good luck. ok, item b. karthauser, abiah. town school for boys, loudspeaker permit on saturday november 12 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. >> normally this is handled by staff, but we refer this to the commission because it is an unusual applicant. the school is located adjacent to pacific heights. it is a once a year fund-raising event. i will let them who described the event but it is up to the commission to approve and

determine the hours. >> i worked at town school and this is the chair of the event. >> good evening, commissioners. we are having a one-time fund- raiser at the school. we sent out letters over the summer to the neighbors and we did not hear any responses. the school has been there for a long time and we have had a good relationship with all of our neighbors. we have not heard anything back as of yet. the proceeds go primarily toward tuition assistance for students of all backgrounds can attend our school. we hope you grant our request. >president newlin: music? people announcing auctions?

>> music, we have a dj. >> how long have you been doing this fund-raising event? >> we have been doing fund- raising events for over 30 years. this year we are combining. we used to have two, but w we're combining the two. it is more important because it is the one event. and we hopefully can raise as much money as the to have and the past -- two have in the past. we can do a live auction and do as much money as we can. >> how is this different from last year? >> this is the first time we

have done that at the school. prior to that it has been held at the city club, this is the first time we have had it at the school. part of the reason we did that is so that more parents would want to comment felt comfortable to come -- come and felt comfortable to come. the attendance has been 375 and we already have over 400 that want to come this year. it has been well-received by the parents to have that at the school. >> of the event ends at 11:00. >> right now we have a permit until 10:00. >> and you want the music to continue until 11:00. >> where is this located? i am wondering because they hear a lot of complaints about music when you have at the bottom of the hill, a stadium effect.

>> we are on top of the hill, on the roof. it is tented. >> how far of a radius did you send out to neighbors? >> the surrounding block. on both sides of the school. >> just a block? ok. president newlin: any more questions? >> why does it have to go to 11:00? why the extra hour? >> typically our events have been five hours and i feel like we need those five hours. we thought about starting at earlier but because of the sports program, parents won't be able to get there earlier than 6. in order for the timeline to progress and have time to do --

have cocktail hour, dinner, auction, then have maybe an hour of dancing, we feel like -- >> disco dancing? house music? >> in the spirit of trying to attract a diverse community, is an indian theme. bollywood theme. i don't know if you are familiar with that term. >> are you familiar with the police department's recommendation for 10:00? >> we would still like it to be 11:00. >> in my experience, when we want people to leave at 11, we need time for them to kind of cool down, get their jacket, say

goodbye. i think you need to allow yourself time to chill out from dancing and exit in a convenient way. >> they can do this chill down without the music. >> the music won't be going after 11:00. our request is to have the news end at 11:00. our experiences that when the music shot down, people leave reasonably quickly. we expect that to be the case this year. primarily because we are at the school and attendees will be parents. they will be even more respectful of the venue than they would have been perhaps in different situations. i suspect that once the music shutdown, people will make an

exit to reasonably quickly. >> 20 minutes, half an hour? >> i can't predict, but i can't imagine it would be any more than that. >> do you expect for the doors to be closed by 11:00? or do you expect to have the doors open until after 11:00? >> i think we are allowed a certain amount of time for people to exit the venue but would like the flexibility to have the music on until 11:00. people would exit between 15 minutes at 30 minutes. president newlin: i think since they did not reach the neighborhood and nobody has issued -- if it gets to be a problem, we can revisit its for the future ones. i think it should go to 11:00. >> i have one more question about placement of speakers.

have you looked into how to mitigate sound the best cayou c? >> as i mentioned earlier, the event will be tented. we understand it might rain, so we are fortunate. the speakers are position towards the inside of the enclosure. i think coupled with -- the tenting is thinpretty thick. we did pay a little bit of consideration to that. >> who has the phone if there is someone complaining? >> i will. the dj is next to the dance floor, the dance floor is in the center towards the building of towns school. it is not on the street side or against to the neighbor's side.

it's next to the school. hopefully, it is the for the state can be from anybody. president newlin: anybody else? a motion? >> i motion to approve the loudspeaker permit until 11:00 p.m. >> second. >> thank you. president newlin: aye.[roll cal] president newlin: i guess there's no public comment on that. [laughter] item c, lok, jason. apartment 24, place of entertainment. >> at 440 broadway has

functioned as a nightclub. there has been a change of ownership under way. i believe he is there to explain. >> i am here today with the co- owner of the apartment 24 llc. mr. lok is out of town and unavailable. we had a meeting on monday with the permit officer. due to some incidents on broadway, we put in a couple of amendments to that, in

paragraph 2 under page 11, the second paragraph says if any patron is passed out on the premises or in need of medical attention, and interior security person shall immediately take charge of the incident and remain with a patron until paramedics arrived. we made a second amendment on page 4. paragraph 5 states no party buses will be allowed at the premis. large groups are denied admittance. there is a problem with party buses, my client took over apartment 24
