give we talk about tax legislation. in europe are wanted to let you know -- i wanted to let you know what is in the budget we have talked about. there is a separate budget item, and where that will land will be worked out once we know what gets approved, but what we are proposing in addition to holding onto the one position, that we have increased $15,000 to do a more thorough survey and a budget to be able to televise the twice monthly meetings. i want to make sure you are aware of that, and i have been interviewing for the staffing position, and that decision will be made soon, and hopefully we

we will be making an official announcement, so that concludes my announcement triggered >> item 11, legislative report. >> nothing to report, because it was memorial day. gooaxe-12, -- >> item 12, presit report. it >> i just want to thank you. this was the best of all the different events, so i appreciate it. the small business committee appreciates everything you do. i agree that all the commissioners were there, and that is so cool thing, so i want to thank you for your participation and everything you

do. >> item 13, vice president of reports -- vice president's report. >> i want to concur with everything that was said. i attended a contractor and breakfast recently attended by the mayor and a lot of department heads, and what i wanted to say is they're going forward it would appear there is going to be lots of opportunities in the construction sector for people to find work of one nature or another and to let people know

to check that out here radioed if they have questions they are welcome to come to the small business center, or they could come to me. it is worth pursuing. the second thing is to let people know one of the obstacles for small businesses is a thing called bonding, and there are city programs available to facilitate and helped contracts to get assistance with condit. the city provides assets to support small contractors, so i want that to go out there and let people be aware of innocent = = -- aware of it, so that

concludes my report. >> next item. >> item 14, commissioner reports. >> i attended the meeting and was really interested and informative zero ago i learned a lot from that program, so i am glad i attended. i also attended a meeting. to talk about chain stores and the impact on their business and to give them some support to come into the neighborhood again. i think that is it. goocommissioner riley: i attendd

the neighborhood and work group meeting. in all of the departments were involved and work with the neighborhood to assess and work together to help small businesses, and i also invited working solution to make a presentation of the asian american bakers association and richard asian-american bankers association, because i felt a lot of small businesses apply for a loan and do not qualify, and somehow they might end up using a credit card to support their business, so in order for them to know the fun we have managed by working solution, the presentation was done very nicely, and the bankers were delighted to know there was suc-

business owners. when they have a business owner fed did not qualify for our regular business loan, they go to working solution, so working solution can help with assistance as well as funding money. that is it. thank you. >> any other commissioners? next item please. >> item 15 is general public comment. do we have anyone from the public wishing to make a comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> item 16, new business. next item. good night and 17, adjournment. >> do we have -- >> item 17, adjournment.

president newlin: aye. commissioner lee: aye. commissioner tan: aye. commissioner hyde: aye. commissioner cavellini: aye. president newlin: aye. >> we have a quorum. gregg's members can address the commission brought to three minutes at the time that such item is called. if you want to talk about a commission-related item that is not on to my calendar, this is your opportunity to do so. ok, be that way. [laughter] see no one interested in making public comment, we will move down to item number two, will review and approve the minutes of april 24th, 2012. >> i move to approve.

are we not on? >> i'm wondering, in the roll call, we are missing president 's named. gregg's he was probably at sen. gregg's it's as commissioners present. >> are you asking for a correction? >> yes. >> i will second with that correction. >> ok. commissioner -- commissioner lee: aye. vice chair joseph: aye. president newlin: i'm not sure which meeting i was at. cracked that is an approval then. -- >> that is an approval then.

president newlin: item number 3. >> thank you. in a mood. a couple of things to update the commission on under the heading of legislative policy. i think it is june 1st that the mayor's office put out their budget. commissioner chan -- tan. let the record reflect that he is present. the commissioners, we are understaffed, as you can tell. and we will be doing a lot of things at once. the majors -- mayor's budget came out as a two-year budget. and the entertainment commission's budget is part of the larger administrative services budget. if you look at the document on line, it is hard to find, but we have been relatively consistent,

as you know. for the nine years that we have been in existence. this year, i did not request an enforcement position. but that is among the mayor's many budget priorities. i want to update the commission on two pieces of robust legislation. -- on tour bust -- tour bus legislation. in one piece of legislation dealt with parking and citations. the second, which is a file dealing with amplified sound on tour buses. it creates a problem handled by the health department, and the police department, to monitor and regulate the buses operating in san francisco. i have the digest behind my memo, if your interested. we determined that the best place to regulate these with the health department.

i think we lucked out. ab45 update, that is an assembly bill that we have talked about numerous times related to party bosses. if you watch the news last night, you would have gotten an update that assembly man held -- assemblymanhill amended as of this year. i think is a substantial amendment as of the last time that i talked about this. it had pretty much died in sacramento, and now has got . -- has gotten amended.

i attended a committee meeting the arts community meeting on the subject with a couple of commissioners -- >i attended a committee meeting on the subject with a couple of commissioners. this may help the party bosses that we keep seeing. -- party buses that we keep seeing. as you know, last year i requested a chunk of change to use on-line in a bunch of ways. there have been using our online payment system for the last couple of months, which is so great because we do not have to deal with checks in the office or a cashier in the office anymore. it makes it so much easier for people to pay, in some cases, a very large amount of money with a credit card, which is what

people are used to doing. many of the applications on the website now are smart .pdf's, which is to say they are fallible pdf's that people can -- fillable .pdf's that people can fill out on line. we started with one-time permits. those can be done is right. we are still trying to perfect the two. as always, the payment is a different company than the .pdf. we just have to track them together. it is pretty much working. we are close to the online permitting 40 fixed-price permits.

nicklaus is staying on top of this project and has had one meeting to train all of the different departments who weigh in on this. we're talking about something where you submit on-line and everyone else gets a notification, the health department, the fire department, the billing department, and they can log in as well to this system and let us know whether there are corrections needed or whether they are complete. we are getting there. we are still testing and we will work with all of these agencies to get them on line. we will work with the police department as well to train access to it. but i am excited that this is coming together finally. it has been a long time. the promoter registry continues to self populate, which is obviously out is made. we are continuing to waiting for

these promoters to come out from wherever you are and put themselves on mine. for the public watching on tv, go to our website, the entertainment commission website. there is a promoter registry. it is free 24 hours. please, go ahead and get on there. the 2012 industry summit, which we have done annually, for the last five or six years has been scheduled for august 6th. i have gone ahead and invited three the mayor's office and the chief of police -- through the mayor's office and the chief of police as well as other advisers. hopefully, put that on your calendars as recreate the panels

for the main session and the breakout groups as well. so we can talk about the most pressing issues for the end of the summer moving into the fall. lastly, staff today received the resignation of commissioner cavellini. a couple of questions before we proceed? >> on august 6th, do we have a time of day? >> traditionally, we have done at 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., because it is plain enough for people to would awaken on a monday and not to -- late enough for people to awaken on a monday and not too late to lose their attention. >> about this sound staff for

the open air buses, it talks about the sound truck. don't we regulate the sound track? >> we do. and i think this legislation will remove that. it will make a distinction and make sure that the sound track will not be a problem on the bus. >> i want to tell you that the progress with the one-stop shop is just great. and lastly, in the budget position that your request from the budget office and they turned us down, we clearly need it. we cannot do the whole city. that is just silly. is there a way to press either the board of supervisors, or is there some other way to pursue this position? >> there is a process that the board of supervisors has.

if it is the commission's intention to have staff person that, i can request it. >> i would like you to pursue that. i do not suppose you can't hold the commissioners -- can hold poll the commissioners and ask them that. everyone is shaking their heads yes. i do not think the audio recording can do a shake of that. gregg's if someone -- >> if someone is directed by the commission to pursue the board of supervisors, i would be happy to do that. >> that would be great. >> so directed. i have one question. promoters, registration -- how many so far? >> roughly 40, 50, something like that. it is not enough because we know the definition is fairly broad. >> we should get more if it is fairly broad. >> we should get more. i register, just so you know.

>> to promote? oh. [laughter] >> i went on and try to register as a promoter and i got through the first half and i have not been able to go back. because anyone who has the thought of throwing fund-raising parties and stuff like that as well. i do fund raising for a lot of community groups, but i cannot get into the second half. >> we have worked out a few wrinkles. i do not know why. why don't you call me and i will walk you through it. >> because maybe that is why there is only 40. >> i don't know. ok. >> commissioners, you will see behind the report from director king, my report is rather thin today. not too much to report.

one of the things that director key and i have been working on it will get out hopefully this week. it is just another letter working nights to hand to promoters or to club owners for promoter registration. we are trying to hit many different venues and promotion on this particular thing to promote the promoter registration. that is a lot of promoters. moving through my list, you will see that not too much is going on the last few weeks. i do not want to say it has been quiet, but it has definitely not been as busy as we usually expect for the beginning of june, which is good. just a few administrative tickets have been issued at the lounge and the make room. just a few violations.

i will talk about 1131 mission room. very briefly, that was an permit -- and on permited venue that had come to our -- a non- permitted many that had come to our attention. the city and the building were able to resolve that particular location very quickly. it was a good example of when you get the different city departments working together. if the we can kind of resolve -- we can kind of resolve issues fairly quickly. i know i do not have a in my face and they reopen sometime soon. we are working with the building apartment -- owner and with the tenant as well and it should no longer be an issue for the neighbors, which were having a hard time in the area. which is good news. there is not a lot to talk about here. i was just open it up to questions if any commissioner has a question.

>> i do not have a question, but a suggestion. could we have the gates of the violations on here, so we could track them? -- the dates of the violations on here, so we could track them? >> share -- sure. >> if they are not around the clubs, are they just standing in line, loitering? >> there are a few different situations. i will give you an example that happened recently. someone was intoxicated and walking along broadway. they decided to kind of the late labor leader in front of two officers. when the officers -- blatantly litter in front of the two officers. when the officers decided to ask him about it, he got kind of our rate. they ran him and turned out if he had a warrant for his arrest.

it is not related exactly to the bars and clubs, but it is related to the area. and it's a good showing that, for lack of a better term, the gotland has been thrown down. -- the gauntlet has been thrown down. s.s.p. have been making a concerted effort -- the san francisco police department has been making a concerted effort that you are not hair to have a good time, you need to go. -- if you are not here to have a good time, you need to go. >> any comment on the executive director's report? seeing none, item number four. comments and questions? officer mathias, welcome. officer matthias: hello, commissioners and staff. i'm here to give you an update of what is happening lately.

many were talking about, he was actually parolee at large. it is helpful to be able to take them into custody when they are wanted. some of the things that we do when i apprised the commission as far as what things are going on, if it is tied to a club, i will say exactly which club and how it is tied their, if it is appropriate or not. but sometimes we talk about the things that are just entertainment related. i think it is important for the commission to know the level of activity going on in the districts. june 3rd at about 6:30 p.m., there was a battery at pier 23, appeared 23 cafe. they acted appropriately by escorting the parties out and helped the police when they

responded. after talking with the employees at the bar, they were able to find out what happened exactly and take appropriate action. on june 10th at 2000 hours, several phones were stolen at grand ave. the suspect was later arrested that night on broadway. june 2nd at 11:40 p.m., i suspect was arrested for a drug warrant and for being drunk in public at kearny and broadway streets. june 7th, a woman's purse was stolen inside the stricker cafe located at 65 sutter st.. an unknown group stopped a possible suspect and beat him up. he claimed it was security, but when police talked to security, they said it was not them. i think there were several different groups that were dealing with this. we never determined whether he was the actual person who stole the purse or not. june 5th, at about 11:00 p.m.,

a $200 camera was stolen from the ambassador club on geary street. on june 6th at 10:30 p.m., a parolee at large was arrested on the sidewalk at 538 broadway. may 25th, at 10:30 a.m., a suspect was arrested at the club on broadway the ordinance there has helped we would like to work more closely with the doorman -- the doormen working in those areas. it could be the doormen that have advised a person ought to stand there, as well as an officer. we would like to the -- advice a person not to stand there, as well as an officer. we would like them to be on the same page. lastly, a man approached two different
