12:30 am
since we went over there when i first started a year ago today, when i joined the commission, live music would be very helpful on broadway. what i was asking about this today, if it is live music, that would be a great addition to broadway and working with both of you has always been very pleasurable. so i wish you good luck and i will give a second. [roll call vote] >> good luck. >> are you crying, really? >> item seven. this has been a tearful meeting. tears of joy. item 7, commissioner comments
12:31 am
and questions. are there any? >> i would like to comment, a quick update about a sub committee for the task force we had pulled together in february and march. we did hold two meetings, we intended on holding three. for anyone that is paying attention to planning is, the western soma plan released its er and comments were due yesterday. we were trying to pull together the group began to see if we can formally comment as a subcommittee or even pass that along to the full commission. the meetings, we had could turn out the first meeting. we talked about housing, entertainment, the buffer zones that around -- or around the housing and we talked about transportation and the need for entertainment along routes of
12:32 am
public transit. unfortunately, we could not formalize any recommendations and it is too late for the eir. i would like to dissolve the committee for the time being. i think we will have an opportunity when the actual plan goes up to the planning commission to kind of regroup and it was good to hear, watching the hearing that the planning commission had on it and tons of folks came out from the entertainment community and the businesses along 11th street to voice their concerns. i would like to continue their relationships we've built with the folks on 11th street but dissolve the committee at this time and where needed, reconvene once the planning commission does hear it again. that is right to be an opportunity to formally make a statement as a commission. that is my comment. i do not know if that is an action item or how that works.
12:33 am
>> the president forms and dissolves committees. you are making a request, i imagine, for the president to do so. president newlin: ok. the president approves the dissolutionment. >> anybody else? >> i have a question to that. you are dissolving, it is dissolved for that time. never to convene. we had two meetings and that is it, or -- >> it was good to have a staff member from the planning department come out to clarify things. what i am proposing is let's dissolved it for now and when it comes back -- when it is agendaized and th -- part of the planning commission's process, we will get a notice and put
12:34 am
this around whatever recommendations you want to make. does that make sense? it is dissolved for now. and reconvened later as needed. president newlin: ok. item #8, new business requests for future agenda items. i had a couple. i would like to hear about the lgbt historical district or leather historical district as it involves a lot of entertainment. i thought it would be great to have a presentation. since it involves so much entertainment it would be good to hear what they have in mind for that. with more information coming out about how to better modify sound, i was wondering if there was any way we could talk about preserving an outdoor patio is
12:35 am
and making sound, talk about sound on outdoor patios. even if there are ways to return it without destroying the neighbors since we do live in a city that has patio's -- patios. i am wondering if we cannot revisit some of that or at least hear about mitigation. the sisters of perpetual indulgence run the pink saturday, and they are and not for profit who have been running a major, major event. i know for fact they often feel that they cannot be heard and a now we do offer sound permits but i think it would -- i know we do offer sound permits but i think it would be interesting hearing the issues they have running this event. to see if there is not some way we can direct them to get better
12:36 am
responses from the city. it is an outdoor event and we do have a hand in that. i just feel that they're being asked to do whole lot and not -- they do not feel they're getting quite the help they need. so maybe if we could hear from them around that. president newlin: ok. what i would recommend on that item is they submit something in writing to the commission so we have an idea that we're not just carry them, we have it ahead of time so there might be prepared response to their specific issues. we do not want to waste their time coming in here and having a list of grievances that we're hearing for the first time. with that -- >> could you tell me who in the leather community is dealing with this historic district? >> i do not believe it is in the leather community.
12:37 am
from the planning commission or from the planning department, there was paul lord and jim meko was the other name. commissioner joseph: anybody from the greater leather community that has been talk to about anything? i have heard nothing about that community being approached for its ideas and its historical value. >> that is not necessarily the group that has been outreached to. i got a copy and i want to bring it for everyone here so we could have a look at it before we would hear anything about it. to my knowledge, it is an idea and christina olague and a
12:38 am
couple of people are looking for ways to create this without legally in our city. a lot of the weather community has not been -- leather community has not been outreached. commissioner joseph: who would speak to that? >> the people who were to that. -- wrote to that. president newlin: this is a recommendation of new items. commissioner hyde: -- this has been brought up to me. president newlin: we will coordinate with staff. we had the sound guy earlier. we should have ran it by him. we could have had him for free. ok. if there is nothing else, we will conclude today, august 7
12:39 am
meeting of the entertainment commission. thank you, everyone for coming and participating.

12:44 am
my question about the continuance is when i spoke to staff last week they indicated it would be on the calendar today. does the continuance mean there will be more or different materials regarding this project between now and the september meeting? president fong: if you want to wait and address that in public comment, we will try to address that. thank you. any additional public comment on items one, three, or 11? seeing none, commissioner antonini . commissioner antonini: just a question on project for 8 octavia. >> thank you. since your item were distributed, staff has noted a

12:47 am
people to do so. you need four. >> we cannot continue the item? >> commissioners, if you do not mind, the city attorney and i are looking at making sure we can take us to reject action for continuance.
12:48 am
commissioners, the city attorney and i have discussed, and we would like more time, so we will ask that we just did this item for right now and move on and give us time to research. commissioners, the next category is the consent calendar. item four, five, and six make of the consent calendar. they are considered to be routine and should be acted upon by a single roll-call vote of this commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items, unless a member of this commission, staff, or the public so request. and in that case matters would be removed from the consent calendar and considered at a separate hearing.
12:49 am
items four, case number 201 2.052.0592c streets 25 01 third street. it is an innovative industry special use district. item number five, 2,011.1 t9201, 626 potreo ave. item six, case number2011.0859b 460-460 to bring industry to establish 59,475 grow straight -- gross square feet of office used in the muo.

12:51 am
regular meeting of july 19, 2012, and the regular meeting of the light well, 2012. following public comment and any modifications or corrections you might have, i would ask that you address the draft minutes. i would know that commissioner wu has informed me of corrections for the meetings of july 12. we've made the changes. the first under commissioner comments where the first time commissioner wu's name appears it should have been commissioner antonini. the second time her name appeared, we corrected this statement that she read. you were appointed when i was appointed to this commissioner was your guidance that helped me through the basics and new ones of this commission, so i very much want to thank you for that and look forward to seeing you on the other side and your
12:52 am
leadership and the city. i do have those corrections already noted. any other corrections? commissioner antonini: any public comment on minutes? commissioner antonini: i think i might have been the author on some of these comments. certainly i did make comments congratulating commissioner miguel on his service. i am not sure it was the comments of commissioner borden that is in the minutes. perhaps we should look at the tape and revise those and bring them back in another week to make them accurate. and >> i will -- commissioner antonini: i think she is already recognized -- >> the one where commissioner
12:53 am
wu's comments were first shown were actually your comments, so that is on page 3. commissioner antonini: i see that. >> i recall the hearing, and you did make comments about commissioner miguel towards the end of that category, and i thought there were reflected, but i do not have the set of minutes in front of me. commissioner antonini: it seems to me there should of been other comments. i probably have my notes at home. it might be well to bring those back. >> if you would like to not take action on july 12? commissioner antonini: let's just take that away and pass the others if they are accurate and have this check and brought back next week or whenever possible to take a look at it. i do not think it is anything that is that the earth shuddering, but we want the minutes to be accurate. >> i would note that is fine and
12:54 am
can continue them, but because i am here it will not be able to make those corrections, your package will come out while i am here, so you will get them electronically. just so you know there will not be in your packet. commissioner antonini: so continue that to a specific date? >> to next week. in your actions the commissions will be to take that action. along with the other minutes. commissioner antonini: i am moving approval of the joint minutes of july 19, july 26 and june 28 and a joint session on july 19 for approval. take only minutes before you are the regular meeting of july 26.
12:55 am
>> thank you. the motion on the floor is for approval of the regular minute meeting minutes of july 26, the minutes for the joint meeting of historic preservation for july 19 and the regular meeting of july 19, and continuance of the regular meeting of july 12 for one week. on that motion -- [calling roll] thank you, commissioners. that motion pastern venomously. are there any other commission matters? -- that motion passed
12:56 am
unanimously. commissioner moore: a few weeks ago i asked in public comment whether or not the director would set up for another update on the america's cup. i was very fortunate on tuesday night to hear the presentation by the vice president of the golden gate yacht club who were the sponsors of the event to hear an update, which i fell to contain that so many interesting aspects of how the america's cup has changed, relative to the race this year and a big one next year, which i think this commission would be really interested to hear. i think the planning department themselves would be thrilled to see much of the discussions we had have all turned the event into something i think addressing a lot of very positive aspects. i sent an e-mail to mr. martin
12:57 am
would believe are responsible to attend to the subjects. if this could happen, probably not in preparation for the october, but the october -- problem did not for theoctober e august meeting, but for the october meeting. commissioner antonini: we had an excellent meeting of the commission secretary meeting that consists of manning -- members of planning and hsbc yesterday, and among the things handled at that meeting included an addition of some other sources or venues to announce the position opening, and we added some of those. we did discuss the future calendar. we set up a possible meeting dates in september and october,
12:58 am
with a possible emergency meeting on august 22, which i will tell a little bit more. that is in relation to the fact we have yet to hear a response from the department of human resources to whom we had sent a letter above the signatures of president fong and chase asking for clarification of the position relating to salary level and other issues relating to the classification. we have not received any response, and we are concerned because we cannot move further on this process without a response from dhr, because the position of this cannot go out until the issue has been answered. we hope that will happen soon, and one of the reasons why we
12:59 am
may have an emergency meeting in august of that has not been approved and have to revise it or somehow makes other changes because that is the beginning of the process. also yesterday we discussed the fact that there has been funding obtained for the managerial position in planning a planner 3 position. we were told it would serve as an addition to the commission secretary team. currently there are three members, and this will be a fourth member of that would serve under the secretary of and the secretary would be involved in this election of this individual, and it was expressed by the subcommittee and is the feeling that this position sh
