near third. the place of entertainment permit would allow them to have life spans and the jays. they received a letter of support. we do not propose additional conditions as of the start of the meeting, and recommend approval of this permit. vice chair joseph: come on up. >> good evening, commissioners. thanks for this opportunity. we look forward to opening another great addition to the scene in san francisco. local edition is along the lines of our other the establishment. this is an extension of that concept. it is prince and cocktails served tableside, but with great entertainment along the lines of 1950's and 1960's cabaret.

we are located in the historic hurts building. it is set up in two sections. one section is a museum with newspapers including the guardian and the examiner. we are ready to start having jazz bands in their after 5:00 p.m.. to hard rock bands later on saturday evenings after 10:00 p.m. >> i have looked at that space. it is underground. that helps a lot with your sound. it is a great space. >> it is a really great space. >> anybody have any questions? >> we have met with the alliance for a better district 6.

i have no objections to this venue. vice chair joseph: thank you so much. i appreciate that. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. this group of owners owns a number of really great venues around town. we do not have any problems with them usually at all. the venues are upscale and great in my experience. this particular location i have looked at. it is underground. i think noise will not be an issue because of where it is. i wish you a lot of luck. i am glad someone is developing that space. it is screaming to have someone develop it. having said that, i would like to entertain a motion. >> i moved to approve this permit.

commissioner perez: aye. commissioner tan: aye. vice chair joseph: aye. good luck to you. item number six, commissioners' comments and questions. commissioner perez: i am working on the collateral sale at monday. we are looking forward to that. vice chair joseph: good job. >> this is something very similar, a freestanding banner. when we are doing things like small business week or anything that is not in city hall, people can know we are there. this is pretty neat.

>> regarding sixth street, a lot of people say the neighborhood is changing and is totally different now. i just want to say that that has been the same neighborhood for a very long time. anyone who thinks that are going to open a venue there and change the whole neighborhood -- people live there. it is a community. people have been there for many years. just because they are not wealthy enough to afford a $12 cartel does not mean that are not a community or that are not a thriving community. to think you are going to go into sixth street -- i am not sure that is what our applicant tonight was saying. i just hear that a lot. i want to make sure people understand there are people who live there. it is a thriving, vibrant community. it may have its issues, but you should consider the people who

are there as a community. with that, i am going to invite you to the harvey milk club 36- year anniversary party celebrating the best in my life. a 90-year-old will be accepting his lifetime achievement award. it will be an amazing evening. is a multimedia up live music and performance event. commissioner tan: nothing for me. vice chair joseph: my only comment is san francisco private june 23-24, civic center. the lineup has yet to be announced. i have nothing to announce. but martyr calendars. it is going to be a really busy weekend this year for sure.

with that, new business, anybody? i move to adjourn. thank you all for coming. after school at 3.

. 30 i hop on the bus and go to work with kids. i didn't realize i was going to get up that early for the rest of my life. >> it's hard to get good jobs. you can get well paid working at restaurants i was making good money that's not my 50 year goal working as a waitress. it would be better to have something to fall back on i wanted something where i would in 10 years accumulate properties. >> 3 months is a long time to be busy all day. i'm putting myself further in debt with the understanding it's worth the sacrifice. eating raman for 3 months. it's not fun but i think it will be worth it.

>> we all want to graduate we are all tired of this class. been 11 weeks. one more week to go. >> i need to get these mraps out. >> my purpose is to get the recruits prepared for the construction training. >> what you do is get a 2 by 6 sitting on the saw horses. we will cut 10 feet. everybody going to get one and you measure up 6 inches. you sure you got 8 feet. >> as a carpenter you have to let them know what's expected and they need to know the stuff to get going on the trades. >> the main thing they need to know is how to carry the stuff on the job and the hussle. >> you can't work with the

gloves. >> my part is a small part. my part is the best part. the part that really teaches them how to go out and fish rather than go to the fish market. my job is how to teach them to fish when the fish market is closed. >> this requires i thinking. when you go on the job site they will pay you 20-15, dollars an hour you have to think and figure stuff out and get the jobs done in a record time. >> one of the things we try to teach with the construction trades is your attitude going to work. how employers look on new workers and it's about profitability and productivity. it's not how much swings it takes to drive, you know, ita about do you have the right attitude?

can you show up on time? can you make the company money? >> 12.5 times 15. >> i don't want you to use the calculator. >> the students go through approximately 420 some hours of training. we operate at the campus of the community college a 12 week, full time program, 7-3:30. >> if you were going to figure out how much [inaudible] you need you rounding up. >> average age of individuals in the trades is in the 40's from what we are told. in the 50's quite frankly those folks are getting ready to retire. we see a void. >> the average is making 60-80 thousand dollar a year more with benefits much it's hard work i

will not lie. >> if you like working with your hands and creative and you look at a building and say, i did that finish and that building is there for a hundred years. come to my program you will work for anyone in the country. >> we send people to the dry waller the carpenters and the plummers. >> we are conscious who we give a job referral to. >> we look at the skills part as far as hayou do with a hammer and nail there are other components to be able to be a team player. be able to take directs and be precise and punctual things like this you need to help you keep your jobs. >> we will looking at the

interviews today and doing the critiquing from the papers. >> i was thinking last week we were talking ask that was so much thinking going on about the interview and how i was going to do it. >> i feel like, me, as an african-american woman and older woman with children i feel i have to set an example. a lot of people don't know how to deal with anger and conflicts. the kids here look up to me. if i do something and don't set an example then they are going to follow. since i've been a positive roll model, coming to school

everyday. some of those kids pick up on that and i see the improvement in them. >> one thing that i knew but the class helped reinstate is that you have to check yourself. we are all grown adults. >> i try to be motivated in everything i do in my life. if you don't encourage yourself to do something or do things for yourself you can't expect somebody else will do it for you. some people didn't make it to class because they have a bad attitude and decided it wasn't worth it. >> when you do something you have to understand why you are doing it and you can't say and come in and say, i will make good money. construction's not like that you have to want to do it because it's not aedz work. you have to want to get up and go to work and do physical labor for 8 hourses. >> i lived next to

biotechnology companies and was a recruiter. i was getting tired and felt sluggish. >> i knew from the first day we were outside being outside having fun, climboth ladder and hammer and the physical labor i knew it was something i would enjoy. to say i put 15 years into this and not retire a multimillionaire but retire healthy and feel good about the work i have done. >> the greatest accomplishment is you drive by a building or bridge and say, i helped build that bridge or helped build the

building on market street. the most greatest reward for me is i taught that student to work on the bay bridge. taught the student operating the crane that student was in my class. >> our goal is to have a core group of people, we are hoping it's over 50 percent of your grads complete and become journey people andup standing good roll models and citizens. the largest public works our city has season in many years going on now the private project that 1 rincon hill. huge project. we had 5 or 6 people work on that project thus far. the rebuilding of the academy of science in golden gate park. the rebuilding of our public

hospital laguna honda this is on going work with the same contract ors that move successful apprentices from one project to another and keep them working for several years. the construction workers of the future to be the superintendents the construction owners. that's the perfect thing there. that's success.

>> everyone deserves a bank account. in san francisco, anyone can have a bank account, things to an innovative program, bank on s.f. >> everyone is welcome, even if you are not a citizen or have bad credit to qualify for a bank account is simple. just live or work in san francisco and have a form of id. >> we started bank on s.f. six years ago to reach out to folks in the city who do not have a bank account. we wanted to make sure they know they have options which should be more low-cost, more successful to them and using chat catchers. >> check cashing stores can be found all over the city, but they're convenient locations come with a hidden price.

>> these are big. >> i remember coming in to collect -- charged a fee to collect a monogram. >> people who use check catchers, particularly those who use them to cash their paychecks all year long, they can pay hundreds, even a thousand dollars a year just in fees to get access to their pay. >> i do not have that kind of money. >> i would not have to pay it if i had a bank account. >> bank accounts are essential. they keep your money saved and that helps save for the future. most banks require information that may limit its pool of qualified applicants. encouraging to turn to costly and unsafe check captures. >> i do not feel safe carrying the money order that i get home. >> without a bank account, you

are more vulnerable to loss, robbery, or theft. thankfully, the program was designed to meet the needs of every kind, so qualifying for a bank account is no longer a problem. even if you have had problems with an account in the past, have never had an account, or are not a u.s. citizen, bank on s.f. makes it easy for you to have an account. >> many people do not have a bank account because they might be in the check system, which means they had an account in the past but had problems managing it and it was closed. that gives them no option but to go to a cash -- check catcher for up to seven years. you want to give these people second chance. >> to find account best for you, follow these three easy steps. first, find a participating bank or credit union. call 211 or call one of our partner banks or credit unions and ask about the bank on s.f.

account. both -- most bridges will have a sign in their window. second, ask about opening an account through bank on s.f.. a financial partner will guide you through this process and connect you with the account that is best for you. third, bring some form of identification. the california id, for an id, or your passport is fine. >> now you have open your account. simple? that is exactly why it was designed. you can access your account online, set up direct deposit, and make transfers. it is a real bank account. >> it is very exciting. we see people opening up second accounts. a lot of these people never had account before. people who have problems with bank accounts, people without two ids, no minimum deposit. we are excited to have these people. >> it has been a great

partnership with bank on s.f. because we are able to offer checking, savings, minimarkets, certificates, and loans to people who might not be about to get accounts anywhere else. even if you have had a previous account at another financial institutions, we can still open an account for you, so you do not need to go to a check cashing place, which may turn to two percent of your monthly income. >> you can enroll in free educational services online. just as it -- visit sfsmartmoney.org. with services like financial education classes and one-on-one meetings with advisers, asset smart money network makes it easy for you to learn all you need to know about managing, saving, investing, and protecting your money. the network offers access to hundreds of financial aid programs. to help their eruptions, fill

this is our second disaster council of 2012. i will turn this over to the mayor to make a few remarks. >> thank you, everyone, for participating on this meeting. as you know, it is obviously not a high priority. we're using every opportunity to practice. we are engaging our businesses, making sure that everyone has

the supplies. i do strongly feel that what we're doing is going to allow us to recover so well after any major incidents. i just came back from celebrating the final signing and recognition of the america's cup. the reality is 500,000 people, maybe a weekly basis. we have posted 3 different workshop scenarios to handle crowd and responses and getting ready for all of the anticipated populace that will come into the city. while we enjoy of course the big economic contribution to the work force and to business, we also have to be focused on everyone's safety. that is partly what makes the

event so successful. the more that we do that with all of our partners here, the more the event will be safe, therefore more successful. i am also very interested in every type about reach that we do in our neighborhoods and thank you, supervisor cohen, for joining us. i know that we are trying to be creative and constantly reminding people about to the equipment and products that they should have. there is going to be another effort to make sure that we have a campaign to educate our public to get the right equipment and have it available to them. this is being planned
