5:44 pm
>> that concludes all items. >> this meeting is adjourned. go niners. crowds. the crowd out on the street was as big as it has been in the past years and perhaps even slightly bigger, but definitely the industry suffered slightly this year. i, again, whether it be weather or the economy and i am not sure. over all, new year's eve went over well and we did not have any major incidents and minor incidents here and there and
5:45 pm
some violence, but again, nothing that we have seen in the past years, so that is the very good news. i worked that evening with both members of sfpd and hitting a lot of different venue and we were able to cover a lot of the city that night. so having said that, over all, just beyond new year's eve, our holidays in particular were pretty quiet as far as the industry goes. businesses were opened, but, we were not seeing some of the crowds that we see in the past years. hold on. then i was wrong there were no corrective actions we. have been investigating a few things, the mile cafe, a crepe store and kt and those are kind of the big ones that we are looking into right now that you will see on the top of the list. again most of the issues that
5:46 pm
we are dealing with is violations of the good neighbor policy or operating without a permit. but, again from comparatively to last year, what we are looking into now is much, it is very minor compared to what we have seen in the past and the industry, over all i think that we can really say that we have seen a vast improvement in over all operations by most venues. so that is a very positive thing. and i will know that we have a busy night oi will keep it short, thank you. >> any questions? for vaj? >> i just do. >> kt. so i think that you should call them in and talk to them. because i just felt, i was out with you the other night and i just felt on the street they didn't get it. kt is from the other night from what was observed there. we did site kts. >> you did? >> yes. so they did receive a citation and i have been talking with the director cain and so there
5:47 pm
is a short list of certain venues that we are kind of lining up to talk to. >> great. and then the other thing, on item number six in your report, on christmas, jack in the box and battery of serious injuries, do you have any information on that? >> serious injuries? >> that particular incident, if i remember correctly, actually happened outside of jack in the box. and the victims were then contacted inside the jack in the box because that was the reporting address. >> okay, thank you. >> did you say that the redwood room, at the hotel. >> that is correct. >> what is the problem there? this is the place that refused to serve ted kennedy because his hair was too long. >> since then times have changed. >> i guess so. >> and i am behind the curve on that one. i will talk to you about it later then.
5:48 pm
>> okay no more questions from the commissioners, any public on comment on the report of the sound technician? >> okay. item number five, police department's comments and questions. anybody from the station want to review anything? just save it for your specific items? >> good evening, central station and i will keep it brief i know that we have a lot of activity on the agenda for today. new year's eve went pretty well and it was buzz busy in the district. we had two shootings and a stabbing but the clubs were relatively safe. i went around, vaj as well as the officer from the southern station and i was impressed at how the clubs were handling the
5:49 pm
crowds. i have been working with vaj which is 561 geary street and we have been getting noise xlaents and so we are trying to narrow it down and it is regarding swig and jones and i have asked vaj to do the sound checks with the neighbors and so the neighbors were appreciative that that was something that we could do so we are dealing with that. >> as far as it has been relatively calm in the clubs lately. i am going to go over three incidents over the last month because we have not had a commission hearing. vesel on december 16th. there was a fight between the staff at a club and the patron, and they were trying to get the drink away from them it led into a good fight and one of the things that the patron was saying that he did not know that the staff was part of security. and so i think that i am going to talk with them as far as sometimes when your staff or you just assume that everyone
5:50 pm
knows exactly who you are and i think that we all have to remember that you are going to patrons that have been drinking and maybe it is dark. and maybe doing name tags or something like that could avoid some confusion. another incident was at the parlor at 1:30 in the morning, nine people tried to get in and they were intoxicated and could not come in. and they started to threaten the guards there and so the guards did exactly what they were supposed to do. they called the police and i believe at least one of the personswise arrested for the terrorist threats. these are the things that xwh wh* we talk about the clubs calling and yous worry that it will cost against us, no, i would like to come up here and talk about the good things as well as the bad things to give you a full view what is going on at least in our district.
5:51 pm
>> this is on december first. and the dj there, i guess was some sort of one of their events that the dj had a loaded weapon. and i think that it is for his own protection and ended up being arrested. he put his jacket with everybody else's jacket and someone else picked it up and found a gun and they called the police and the dj was arrested. >> questions or comments? >> no questions. all right, and that is it. any public comment? >> welcome. >> good evening, everyone. i just wanted to stop by tonight and i am captain mike red man at southern station and i am the new captain and so i look forward to working with everybody in the next couple of years. officer chan has been working on an issue that we will discuss later but just some of
5:52 pm
the things that we appreciate your help in working with inspector vancall on the issues throughout southern and we will be working with the clubs and with vaj and so i look forward to that and we have already had helps with the commission and issues that have come up in the southern district and we have had meetings with these clubs and venues and put stimulations on them that have come from you and the police department and so i appreciate your help and i will leave a card for everyone, so whatever you need from southern, or you will have our full support and i look forward to working with you in the next couple of years. thank you. >> welcome. >> okay, any public comment on the police department's questions and comments? >> none. we will go to item number six. go to six a, john duggan dba original joe's 601 union,
