. a lot of agencies were out. there were some warnings for new year's and other times. sound is one thing we are trying to work with other venues and also crowd control up front. there were some minor incidences', but it was very good. we have been seeing a steady decrease in violence. it is leveling off, but we are continuing to see that drop. more recently, the woman who spoke about street comm -- about polk street, and we have been working to get patrols in thatre

they were cited last week for crowd control. it can be a slow processbefore we see real change. we are working on those few blocks, so hopefully we will see more change and it will come more rapidly. we would give -- we are getting some more blunood as far as club owne. as far as incidents, i know officer mathias is here to talk about the central district. and one i will mention is 463 broadway. and we had a space above a legitimate venue on broadway. somebody was operating in an

illegitimate venue, hoping they would slip under the radar, which they obviously did not. the fire marshal was there on site a was able to shut them down. we have talked with the building owne whthe proper manager and the tenant you're a good -- and the tenant. ere have been a ew others through the city. they're still tends to be the trend of theft, which will talk about for a second. they have been plagued by pickpockets, and they were able to catch one of the pickpockets and return property that night,

so this tends to be an issue citywide as the economy is not as great as we would hope. we are seeing less violence, more theft. i am going to cut its there. gooany questions? >> i have one question. in your report all violations are for operating without a permit? >> no for operating withouafter 2:00 a. >> i do not know what that is.

>> they have entertainment as well? >> they just had extended hours. >> that was my only question. one other question. for 94 common -- 494 broadway. is that of a new region -- is that a venue? it says right here. item si >> thought was just the address. it was resisting are rust, so it just happened in that location. good >> thank you very much. any questions? any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed.

item number five, police department questions and comments. >> good evening. going through different things and have been happening lately, we have gotten throug the playoff game, we did about 30 inspections that night, and i really like what i saw. they were not over serving and overcrowding. everyonewants to get in different club and watch the game, but i was really happy with how they performed. on january 14 at 9:30 at night, this is what he was talking about. it seems like we are dealing

with it pretty well. there was an aggravated assault at 10:30 at night. a woman was hit on the head with a bucket. a victim yelled at a dancer and through a drink on her. the victim was struck after a fight started out side. >> those standing, please find seats. thank you very much. i am sorry to interrupt. >> january 19, there was a fight between two males police were forced to strike and to to aggression and resistance to the reagan -- and resistance.

also at 11:30, a 17-year-old was detained for public intoxication after being involved in a fight. can worry 14th, -- january 14, a parolee was arrested after being involved in a fight. on january 14, police responded, and suspect were fighting. police attempted to break up the fight. the one guy said, that guy is respected my girlfriend. now he struck a police officer in the face. the last one, and dealing with the club, and we see the good, bad, and the ugly.

the security team -- there has been a lot of uthefts. security informed the person was possibly stealing from the patrons, so they were keeping an eye on its. they approachedhim, and the suspect dropped a bag. i counted the value of the phones, almost $1,700. it just shows you that one person going into a club can do a lot loo damage. that really is about it.

>> any questions? moving on to item six, conditions for recess located at 443 broadway. fter hearing over time to front ofyou, in your binder you should see the permit for 443 roadway. yoshoulaosee the security plan that was submitted with the application as well as the

one is tonight, also last month. this commission has heard many times in the past but the days of getting calls likethis, throwing them at you without intelligently reading those reports, what we did is we broke them up. goofor passing call, those incle the three days and only those in where there are notes dealing with crowd control issues. go these three were the only three that were included, because there are notes about perhaps violent behavior.

an intoxicated person was seen by an officer is leaving the venue. goothese three are the dates goi back to the vineyard -- the venue. this is the both of what we could contribute to the club with the information of the time. all of the deals with crowd control, blocking a sidewalk and street.

gnc stands for good neighbor policy, so i want to clarify commissioners knew what you are talking about. i am open for questions on this matter. >> i am here tonight with my clients, who are the principles of the permit holder, and i am also here with the head of security. i apologize. i amgettin over a cold. i previously got a recommendation for permits.

we are not sure about no. 9, and i am not sure if there have been any sound complaints from the venue. i do take issue with number one. this venue is on the street that is extreme difficult. this is probably the most difficult street in sentences go to run any type of venue, -- in sandford cisco -- san francisco, to run any kind of venue. these reports, we are notf prepared to discuss any of these because we do not havecopies, but we are here to answer any questions you mighthave. we are going to try to get work this out.

more than 90 days ago who regard >> it is my derstanding we >> do you inte on answering the most recent one as well as democrats are believe we want to contest that particular one. -- do you intend on answering the most recent one as well? >> i believe we want to contest that particular one. >> the security plan you say that staffing levels will be a minimum of two staff members maintaining the entrance and patron behavior. is that what you do? >> currently we have more than two. we have three guys running the line, two guys watching our alleyway, and one guy doing

protection. we have a police five guys. >> when did you start having five guys? >> 2010. >> also, i did no. 3 says to insure all patrons leave in a quiet ahead -- in a quiet and responsible manner. do you think you have achieved that? >> yes, we have. >> i ask you to come before us today because on december 3 i was with a friend in your neighborhood, and we got caught up when then incident in front of rhesus -- of recess. i understand they do not do cads the same way the regular stations do, and the fight came out of recess, was in front of recess common and it was pretty

violent. i do not see security helping in any way. could you explain that? securipeak on at.head >> we try to respond as quickly as possible. we tried to get everybody out to break up the fight, but we tried to act as quickly to prevent any patrons getting caught up in this. >> just so i am clear, you said you feel like you have to get everybody out before you deal with it ever of christ we try to make sure our patrons are safe who -- to get everybody out > we try to make sure all of our patrons are saved.

our main concern is everyone's safety. i have you seen the pictures? i would be happy to show it to you. this is the front of your club. do you recognize it? is that your club, serve? >> yes, ma'am. > here areictures on both sides. can you explain those? >> thisis pushing one side bag. -- one side and back. they are trained to handle the situation -- they are pushing one side and back

>> do you call the police for help when things like that happen? >> there is always a very large police presence. we have had time to stay in front of the club next door, so they are close by. >> thank you. anybody else to embark >> how long have you been ahead of security democrats about four years. >> how long have you been head of secured -- how long have you been head of security? >> for years. >> so five of them are outside during control and cleaning sidewalks? >> as needed. i will shift them around as needed, but we try to keep the sidewalk and clear. >> this security plan was

written by john windsor. would you still work for him there mark >> he was only employed for security, but he did a lot of work there. >> you read everything in his plan? it is very important for the neighborhood to keep that sidewalk nuclear -- clear. ertohe if it is out of control. good >> we tried to not draw attention to us. i believe we do a good job of that. occasionally fights to happen, which i handle as quickly as possible, but we are trying to make sure of patrons' safety.

>> your guards have been with you for awhile? >> yes, they have been properly trained. >> to you have a policy in terms of holding the line and how many people you are letting in? >> our number is 297. we are very strict about that. if it gets to that, we hold its. we will not let people start coming in until we get 30 people out. >> are the security guards communicating it was at capacity? >> they were basically waiting. they were not going to let them in-house. we do not go over our occupancy number forafetyeaso. >> why would you get cited three times if you are letting people know there is no crowding the

streets? >> sometimes we have higher profiles and people are very determined to see them. also another issue, the club next door keeps having a party bosseuses drop off, so they cros our sidewalk to get to this club. that is one issue we have. >> who is the neighbor? >> we do not take the party bosseuses, because it is a liability.

>> they make it seem like we are taking the party buses, and they let them off in front of our venue. there are a couple of instances where they stand in front ownf broadway studios, and i am outsidewith right and trying to clear the street, and i tell them they have to move down the street. wha s that club on the corner? i tell them they have to leave, and theysay, the guide told us to wait here. i do not understand why would they do that. it is kiof weird.t do >> of the security guard goes june a group of people waiting to get huandto a bus, do people

respond to you? >> there are 40 people. the 40 people are drunk, and you have three guards, and after they get in front of our venue, it is not their responsibility anymore, so every time they come down,weve tget them moving. cracks do you know that your abc license says you are responsible for 50 feet in either direction of your club? >> i do understand. that is why we are trying to get them down the street. every time i tried to move, they say, they told us to wait for the bus here. i say, you have to move. >> you are outside working

security. >> you do not know techniquesng about moving people along the? >> we definitely move people along. we have such close proximity to the club next to us that once their patrons across to our club, they think it is no longer their responsibility, which is not the case. they need to work with us instead of against us. they are pushing their people in front of our club and washing their hands of the situation. we do not do that to them. >> do you speak to them there are >> i actually had an incident with them this last saturday. i was pregnant last year, so i am trying to get things back in order. we had an incident where there

was this big limo party bus in front of the broadway studios. ryan said, you cannot park here, and the driver said, they said to park in front of our place- let them out, so i walked over to benefits. i have always been nice. i said, you need to start telling them not to park in front of our plays. he said, i did not tell them to. he had nothing to say. i am fine with not having any party buses that at all. the only club that takes them is atmosphere. i am fine with not having any at all. >> commissioners, and anybody
