us to schedule community outreach prior to that meeting -- outrage. prior to that meeting, we did extensive e-mail outrage -- out of reach. folks did time in. we did get two who complained about previous noise issues. but the project sponsors, i think we sat for well over an hour, discussing all points of the safety plan, as well as noise abatement issues. there was an individual who, during the meeting, was looking at a live feed. he was watching the inside of the restaurant while we were having the meeting, making sure they were doing what they were
10:19 pm
supposed to do. vice chair joseph: technology is cool. >> exactly. our organization facilitates a new liquor licensing live entertainment permiting for nob hill and polk corner. we have had three meetings at the public library so far, none of which mr. king attended. i want to make it clear that although the folks who have been attending -- we have had 12 people attending regularly, along with the city attorney for our area. i want to make it clear that although some of those folks have chimed in with their support of this project, our organization's support is city- wide. we aspire to represent all city districts. our support is coming from our organization as a whole, and not the committee for the area.
10:20 pm
i want to make that clear. at the conclusion of our meeting, we requested one condition, that the exterior surveillance technology -- which they agreed to. that was the one condition we wanted to see. having said that, we support this project. vice chair joseph: thank you very much. is there any other public comment? i am glad to see you back in the room. did you have something to say earlier? >> linda chapman. vice chair joseph: never mind. >> linda chapman, representing some individual members of the community. i am a member of that cac. our objective, as david villalobos said, was not to have a meeting on this board, but to
10:21 pm
stop what is happening on polk street. it is out of control. the resident manager and his property owner cannot come, because it raises his blood pressure too much. he gave me what he took into the meeting that david villa lobos had in our neighborhood. his statement applies to all of these. he says absolutely and unequivocally and no to any further licenses. this includes permits, until the existing late night street mobs noise nuisance is eliminated. there needs to be a total moratorium on any further licenses or liquor sales licenses until the problem is fixed. that is in total his statement. he asked me to bring in his list. this is from five months, from one resident manager -- over 50 calls. this is at the corner. the intersection -- that are in
10:22 pm
the intersection of bush and pine. at the intersection of pine, i was contacted by some people who called me up there. i was told tonight by david the lobos -- villalobos that they would just be talking about conditions. so i did not encourage anybody to try to come. the complaint has been noise. in this neighborhood, people live in studios, one-bedroom apartments, and sro's. the cannot get away from the street. one man had to move his bed away from the kitchen. in the senior housing, they filed for the protests about one that wanted to move in steps away from where they are.
10:23 pm
this is the center of activity at this intersection, where they have allowed fights every weekend. you heard the sound of the bush street side. that goes on from 11:30 until 2:30, or sometimes three in the morning. it is not just bar turnout. it is massive crowds of people. the state senator asked how a neighborhood can be so abandoned by city hall. they have got to do something about it, but it is going to take time. we do not need to add any more. vice chair joseph: thank you very much. >> here is a letter to your agency, asking for help. vice chair joseph: nicholas, grab it. ok. never mind. >> about another 50 signatures have been filed.
10:24 pm
10:25 pm
i it is not working. >> that is why i gave it to you. vice chair joseph: there it went. doubt it is working. -- now it is working. >> at the end? and other people did not get the chance? i love the special treatment. vice chair joseph: just for you, michael. >> i always bring this kind of stuff. my brother took a picture of kimo's. they have had the liquor license since november. i have been told by the representatives -- do you have a hard time seeing? vice chair joseph: my screen is just bad. i got it. >> in the neighborhood, one tactic, and it grows to many tax. the whole wall is full. it has been removed before this meeting. that is what i need a business
10:26 pm
owner to do, is respond to complaints. i think they need to understand what their responsibilities are. i was happy to hear that there responded to a neighborhood complaint. i was amazed nobody else had said it to them. they have been operating for two months. you have to do walk buys, and everything else. we would also like to see the no loitering signs go up. it is part of the security plan, and they are not up yet. they need to be part of the conditions. and i guess reminded that they need to keep clear the litter 50 feet from the door. the other thing is the happen to have a bus stop in front of their business.
10:27 pm
my concern is if they are having 100 customers how they are going to deal with the bus stop. and the overflow capacity. vice chair joseph: thank you. any other public comment? >> hello, commissioners. i know everybody wants to get out of here. i was hired with garland mic to deal with outreach in the community -- i was hired with garland p.r. to deal with the community. the concerns about how to deal with crowd control outside the bayview -- initially, when they file the application, they did not commit to a security company. we advised them to hire somebody
10:28 pm
that was more professional, who could keep the line moving and flowing. the company knows how to do that. in addition, if there are smoking issues or things of that issue, the happen to be on polk and pine. we are asking people to go to the corner if that becomes something else. we are keeping the sidewalks and streets safe. there has been a long tradition of having music. we want to maintain that. these people have stepped back to engage with this community. you know the organizations they talked to. they have people who look over their shoulders. they have watchdogs. they have to be good owners and operators, or you will hear about it.
10:29 pm
there is a dynamite security plan. i just ask that you approve the project and welcome them to the community. vice chair joseph: thank you. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. i have another question really quickly. you made a comment about dealing with noise. would you say that again? >> we have been working with no. station. is that what you are talking about? vice chair joseph: i just wanted you to repeat that for this lady who left the room when you said that. they are working on it. i just want you to know it is not falling on deaf ears. i entertain a motion. i will get a motion and a
10:30 pm
10:34 pm
10:35 pm
flag and to the republic for which it stands. one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. president chiu: you should have the december 6th and december 13th board minutes. can i have a motion to approve those minutes? without objection, those are approved. are there any communications? >> there are no to medications. president chiu: can we go to the consent agenda. >> unless anyone would like to have one remove, these will not be voted on separately. president chiu: can we have a roll call vote?
10:36 pm
10:37 pm
>> there are nine ayes and one no. president chiu: item 6. >> resolution authorizing the sale of city property at the northern corner of fulton street and gough street to the boys and girls club of san francisco. president chiu: supervisor olague, you have some amendments? supervisor olague: i would like to thank those who made this possible but also those that make sure it was the best deal it could be. i would like to thank my fellow co-sponsors, members of the committee, the boys and girls club, and the mayor's office of housing, for making sure that we have the best deal for this
10:38 pm
neighborhood, for my constituents, and for the entire city. these amendments to a number of things including they make clear the history behind the octavia boulevard access parcel, the redevelopment agency purchase of parcels in 2001 and in 2002 as well as the use of the remaining parcels and use of the revenue. make certain that 100% of the purchase price as well as any participation in additional residential, commercial projects built on the site goes to the mayor's office of housing. finally, we are calling for an informational hearing at the budget committee. this hearing would include an update on the progress thus far including construction of octavia boulevard and the central freeway ancillary project disposition and, as well
10:39 pm
as any remaining obligation from the cooperative agreement with caltrans. these amendments improve the benefit to the city, they ensure that not only do we see a boys and girls club in a neighborhood where it is needed, but we also ensure that affordable housing, one of our highest priorities here in the city of san francisco, remains well funded. it is my understanding that the city attorney has been that these amendments are not substantive. i look forward to supporting this project and this resolution and i encourage my fellow members of the board of supervisors to do the same thing. president chiu: calis, supervisor olague has made some amendments. is there any objection? without objection, those amendments are made.
10:40 pm
supervisor avalos. supervisor avalos: make you. i appreciate supervisor olague making these amendments. i used to work at the girls and girls club. i see what it really brings to the communities. i wanted to support this project. especially in the western addition, moving where it is that currently to this location will serve a different part of the community. i'm really happy to support this project now, thank you for your work. i would like to thank the girls and boys called for their flexibility. thank you. president chiu: supervisor
10:41 pm
campos. supervisor campos: thank you, mr. president. this was not and easy vote for me not because i'm against the underlying goals of the project. the boys and girls club is an amazing organization. i do have concerns about the process that was followed as far as the sale and there was no competitive bid process that was followed. i do believe that this deal is substantially better today than it was before. i want to recognize the work that supervisor olague and her office had put into this project. they have taken something that they inherited and in a very short time, they certainly made it much better. in recognition of that, i will be supporting this. i would like to do that out of deference to supervisor olague who as a district supervisor knows better than anyone knows
10:42 pm
what it means for this community. the project itself and the proposal has been improved i think on balance and it makes me want to support this. i would like to thank supervisor olague and all of the members of the community who have worked on this and we look forward to the boys and girls club continuing to serve the community. this is a great organization. for that reason, i am proud to support it. president chiu: supervisor kim. supervisor kim: thank you. i would want to echo of some of the sentiments from my colleagues. we greatly support the building of the girls and boys club. this is a huge addition to the community and families. this will augment many of the services that we provide in the tenderloin with additional recreational activities and facilities that our families can
10:43 pm
utilize. mainly are around the issues that were stated by supervisor campos. i hope that in the future i hope that we don't have projects that did not go through the competitive process because we have any organizations here in san francisco that can do this work. i'm happy to seal the deal has been improved. -- see that the deal has been improved. i am glad the supervisor at the lobby has made recommendations that the funding goes to housing. -- i am glad to see that supervisor olague has made recommendations that the funding goes to housing. this is something that will also benefit our youth and families here in the city. i would like to thank the supervisors for that and i'm happy to support this today. president chiu: any further
10:44 pm
discussion? supervisor olague, i assume you want to be added as a co- sponsor. why don't we take a roll call on this item? >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye/ >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> there are 11 ayes. >> item 7 is a recommendation approve in a lease for a certain real property located at pier 54 a term of 10 years. president chiu: we cannot consider this until we consider
10:45 pm
an eir appeal so i recommend that we delay this to a later agenda. item 8. >> item 8, resolution determining that the transfer of a type 21 off sale general license will serve the public convenience. president chiu: supervisor wiener. supervisor wiener: i gave kohl feeds the opportunity to make the outreach which they have not done before. -- i gave wholefoods the opportunity to make the out rich. i move to table this. president chiu: it is there a second to that? seconded. supervisor mar: i dissented in committee because there was a strong outpouring of opposition.
10:46 pm
the community raised a legitimate number of questions and that is why i am opposition. supervisor wiener: this has been swirling around the valley for a while. there are opinions on both sides. there are some residents that support this and have expressed that to me. given the lack about reach, it would be a close call for me to give a lack of out reach. president chiu: we have a motion to table. can we do this without objection? without objection. item nine. >> ordinance amending the health code to license commercial dog walkers operating on park property. president chiu: supervisor avalos. supervisor avalos: i told myself
10:47 pm
that on my way to school is my kids stepped in dog too, i would speak up about this ordinance. i have reservations about the number of dogs per walker. the rest of this legislation is really strong, the providing standards for dog walkers and a printing process. looking at licensing as well. i agree with that. i'm concerned if this is the right decision or not. i am looking forward to have another discussion. maybe i will sponsor it and go through all of the process or not. i expect that we can go back in the future and see if this is having a negative impact on our parks. i love dogs and i wish i could own one in my small house. dogs and a lot to san francisco. they have added a lot of people's lives. i want them in our parks i think that there are limits
