that is at 41%. [applause] this partnership has also successfully placed graduates into the various jobs including bricklayers and ironworkers. a lot of jobs happy to be here. and finally, our collaboration exemplifies the vision. is started with mayor lee. a big hand for our former director. we partner with the community and the city family. and here today, we do the best job we can. i want to thank you all for having us here.

we will be on time and on budget and the hospital will be ready. thank you very much. [applause] >> i want to recognize the chief of our fire department. the director of the mayor's budget and policy office. we have the director of the mayor's office of disabilities, carla johnson. the director of public finances. i would like to give her an extra thank you for all her work. the acting sheriff. the deputy chief -- thank you for being here today. thank you so much. we could not build the hospital without the builders. i would like to introduce the senior vice president of our builders.

>> you know, it is quite something to stand here and get a chance to reflect and look up at what this is really going to be. i would say three or four years ago when we were thinking about that, we did not have any specific ideas except we knew what we really wanted to accomplish. we knew we had to accomplish something great. if you think about those existing buildings that are here, they were built over 100 years ago. what really cured people back then was some light and fresh air. we had very few things to worry about on the design side. 100 years later, we have so many more things that can cure and help and benefit the community, and our hats go off to all those who have been a part of that. truly, from the architect and the engineering side and the entire engineering staff -- all the conditions, all the issues

that come together to provide the world class opportunities and facilities that are here. coupled with that our partners, dpw, the department of public health. it is really a collaboration above and beyond any single project. that is what makes the difference in some of these ceremonies. i have been to a few of them. this one will have a special place the cause of, it will be there, not only when it is needed with regular emergencies, but true emergencies. and the city has gone through those in the past. when you think about it -- the next earthquake, the ball bearings this is sitting on keeping the building will move as much as two and a half feet either way. when that all settles out and there are the needs and the demands pressed on the hospital, this hospital will be here to serve. to serve the community, the people who need it. that is why we are here today. something much larger than all

of us. thank you to the engineers, the designers, are partners at dpw. this was really a team effort. if a guy is standing up here in a suit, the guy's not in the suits in the background are the ones really doing the work. we look for the next couple of years to finishing at. thank you. [applause] >> to complete the building, we are taking the nation's. we have the san francisco general hospital foundation. they have been working very hard looking for donors. we want to acknowledge the board president, some of the board members. connie shannon, jennifer bilko, and all of there supporters.

we want to recognize them. they are going to help us finish. i would like to introduce the chairman of the board of directors for the san francisco general hospital foundation. she has just been working really hard seeking those donors to complete this project. >> [laughter] the concept of a moving building is a little -- terrifying. and wonderful. always when i'm out in the community, i feel so proud. and i really hope all of you do. the guys from the city and the fire department -- because this hospital is preeminent in every field in every way.

we care for patients in a compassionate and cutting edge way that is just phenomenal. 84% of the people in the city voted for a bond measure, and whoever heard of a bond measure passing the first time, let alone with 84%? it was a resounding "yes" vote for all of the people who do smart, capable, and compassionate work. i am so proud of the hospital. i am so proud. i am glad we're not stopping work for 1 minute. i am so proud and we're building this building on time and ahead of schedule and i want to thank everybody. thank you.

our we doing, everyone? -- how are we doing, everyone? >> we have an incredible relationship with cfs. we have leaders from the hiv/aids fight. many of them have become administrators and the health department. and soap ,ucfs -- and so ucfs has been an incredible partnership for department. [applause] >> thank you. it is such an honor to be here today, to represent the over 2000 employees who work here on this campus and come here every day to provide the best service

people can in partnership with the city. it is one of our major sites, not only for delivering health care, but also for teaching the bank in all of these schools -- the school of medicine, the school of nursing, the school of pharmacy, and the graduate school. this is a site that is important to all of us in terms of having cutting edge research. we have over $250 million on this campus as well as 800 people who work here doing research that will lead to the improvement of our health and the future. so, with this partnership, i am just so pleased looking out on this wonderful crowd to be here and to also say thank you for all the work that you dare.

thank you. >> i would like to recognize the vice counsel of planning and who is working with us throughout this process. it is such an honor to work with the honorable mayor ed lee. we have been given the initiative not only to get jobs, but also to work hard for the service. mayor lee has been nothing but a tremendous supporter of the department of public health. with the last budget, the department came out with no cuts in the budget. [applause] we are extremely grateful to him and his commitment to health. honorable mayor ed lee. >mayor lee: thank you, barbara.

good afternoon, everyone. this says "sweet." scott has his on. dennis is looking for an orange 1. i want to reiterate my thanks to everyone on the stage and in the audience. the team effort is really going on your. that is also effective in our economy does -- that is picking up. it is akin to attitude of the p.w. -- the can-do attitude of dpw. in everything that we're doing, there's a positive result if we all work together. that is the message here. if i can add to this, two

things. i want to continue thinking our san francisco general hospital foundation. as this building goes up, there'll have to be a lot of expensive equipment that goes in there. judy has a wonderful team and all the board members are here, to fill it with the most modern, lifesaving equipment, the greenest technology there is to make the best hospital so we take pride in that. why? because it is for these kids. they are going to be the future doctors, the future nurses, the future hospitals administrators. is all for you that we are doing this. because it with this team effort the promise was made, the promise with our board of supervisors was made a couple years back. we promised to create the best hospital. hopefully, for all of our future kids so they can work get it,

they can be there to be part of a wonderful community that is san francisco. that is why this is a wonderful opportunity to top off with the most fantastic -- it is the largest, as barbara said. but it is worth it, to have a world-class hospital for world- class city. everyone sharing in, this moment, this milestone to top off. the graffiti that we have here today is, for all of us to share in this very moment, is a great, great test to thank everybody for getting here, and we look forward to being here in 2015. so, we will do little sign i andage and have the last -- signage and have the last bean put in.

shall we say thumbs-up? we will sign at first and then give thumbs-up. with that? are you ready? all right. >> 3, 2, 1. [applause] [cheering]

>> ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the june 26, 2012, meeting of the entertainment commission of the city and county of san francisco. would you please call the roll? commissioner lee: here. vice chair joseph: here. commissioner hyde: here. commissioner perez: here. president newlin: present. >> i have not heard from commissioner tan. i do not know whether he is present or absent. president newlin: ok. number one is public comment. members of the public may

address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. members of the public may address the commission for up to 3 minutes at this time. nobody? very good. item number two, review and approve the minutes of may 22, 2012, and june 12, 2012. do we have a motion on the minutes? >> yes. i moved to approve. >> by second. commissioner lee: aye. vice chair joseph: aye. commissioner hyde: aye. commissioner perez: aye. president newlin: aye. moving right along, the report from the executive director. you have your gun in your mouth. stick it under the table.

-- your gum in your mouth. stick it under the table. >> good evening. it should be short this evening. i want to update you on the budget hearings that began on the 18th of june. the first time the supervisors budget and finance committee met to discuss the budget analyst recommendations. we are under the advent services budget. although the mayor did not find the position that we requested, supervisor wiener did speak on behalf of the position to the city administrator, who did suggest on the record that she would be happy to assist with the process, which i hope will see that this thursday. we will be paying attention and let the commission know what happens. i know that commissioner hyde spoke on friday, which was

public comment day, on behalf of the position as well. i appreciate that. thank you very much. the other really interesting thing from last week was that i attended a panel discussion put on by a couple of democratic clubs. commissioner tan and commissioner hyde were both there. it was about clear night life and nuclear -- and clear open spaces. for the record, commissioner tan has arrived. it was mainly about night life. it was really well-attended, interesting. it covered all of the issues facing this commission on a regular basis, including labor conflict, loss of entered him a spaces, rezoning and its impacts, and other things that

we deal with a lot. in that regard, it was really interesting to see people who can see the forest for the trees and their opinions on these issues. most of the comments regarding the work of the entertainment commission were very supportive and positive. the meeting resulted in a joint letter from the democratic clubs to the mayor and the board requesting not just to support the enforcement position at the entertainment commission, but also the night life advocate in the mayor's office of economic and work-force development, which i think is moving forward. and a revision of the economic impact study, which did not include festivals, which have a significant financial impact on the city. i believe that supervisor wiener has already requested that that

provision be entertained by the comptroller's office. i do not think that has seen a response quite yet, but that is the plan. that was really a great panel and i hope that the clubs decide to do it next year as well. talk about changes and any issues that might have gone unresolved. -- might have gotten resolved. i want to reinforce and ask you to look behind this memo that we will finally be changing our start time, our room, and the days on which we meet. for everyone's information, we will start our meetings at 5:30. it will be in room 416, down the hall. we will meet on the first and third tuesdays. again, there is a schedule behind your memo. i think it is on our website for purposes of reference. please do your best. there will probably be some

glitches in the first month or so but we will try to do reminders' so that we can begin and end a little bit earlier in the evening when we have those long ones for it -- those long ones. i want to direct your attention behind this memo is a director's order advising a security plan for a place of entertainment permit. 3192 16 st. i know that mission station is present and i do not know if they will discuss the matter or not. on tuesday, june 19, a director's order was issued based on the incident resulted in the death of a man outside of a venue. after meeting with mission station permit officer, it was determined that a nexus could be made and that security improvements were in order.

the venue was extremely cooperative. we do expect immediate improvement. i think it was the weekend after we did that, mr. brunelli was out there. it includes increased training, increased surveillance cameras, training and use of anti- loitering law, which will be helpful in that location. it is between valencia and guerrero. and increase communication from the venue to the station as well as the entertainment commission. that is all is also a very helpful thing. the order was signed again that there is a certain amount of time that elapses before it takes effect.

it is pretty clear the venue has already done some of these improvements in advance of that date. again, i know mission statement is here. if they want add anything -- that concludes my report. unless you have questions. >> good evening, commissioners. my report is short. i want to start with a little bit on the 16th and valencia entertainment corridor. something we have talked about in the past. really, with this incident that director cain talked-about with double dutch, this office is working with mission station as well as other agencies to put a little bit more resources into that area. i have been down there several times recently, just going from club to club, doing a little bit of education, better crowd

control, better security, so forth and so on. we will keep you updated on our actions and progress in that area. just to highlight it, to your knowledge, we are seeing similarly what we saw on polk st., where we were able to go in early and get ahead of the problem and it is better than it was six months ago. valencia has progressed further than that and we are going to do the same kind of thing, putting some new time into the area and getting the area cleaned up a little bit as far as are permitted venues and what they can do for their patrons. everyone we have talked to has been super receptive and eager to cooperate. we will keep you updated on that. as everybody knows, this last weekend was pride and pink

saturday. we are waiting for the report from mission station. it is monday so they are crunching numbers from over the weekend. we do not have those numbers for you tonight as far as incidents and arrests. overall, the events went off very well. pride was well attended. we did not have any major, serious incidents. same with pink saturday. the question with pink saturday really is just overall organization. again, we saw a situation where , by 9:00 p.m., the streets were really packed. things saturday continued to be organized as it was an event attended by 2000-5000 people. but we were getting way more than that. probably up around 25,000 people. for this event to continue

safely, that the organization and the logistics need to be looked at by next year. something as simple as how barricades are being put up for the gates to the stage locations, what is going on. we are still getting poor communication between the stages. it took us almost two hours to clear the streets after the event this weekend. again, we were very fortunate. we did not have anything serious, major. some violence and minor fights. a lot of theft of cell phones. but nothing major. i feel that we got lucky on this one. it is my recommendation that, in the future, you can do that. we have some debriefings that we can round table and see how best to move forward. i finally have some good news on la cocina.

i was in communication this week with them and they hired a lawyer to interface with us in getting them compliant. i am hopeful. i am trying to be positive. i am hopeful we will see some of the compliance happen that they are supposed to do. hopefully, by next meeting, i will have some real news and real attraction to report to you guys. on the sheik given to you guys, one thing i really want to bring out is june 24, in the broadway corridor, the possession of a firearm. i want to highlight some of the good work that sfpuc units are doing in that area. -- sfpd units are doing in that area. it was not a club, there was no connection to a club. it did not look right.

someone gave them a kick and there were able to pull -- a tip and they were able to pull to firearms out of the car. we are making a lot of positive progress. at any time police are able to get guns off the street, it is a good thing. this is a very good thing. i just wanted to highlight that. and the last is right under that, something from bamboo hut. it was as though the report used the address. actually, what happened is someone who was selling drugs basically ducked into bamboo hut to avoid police. the staff was able to direct them he was hiding in the bathran
