section will apply to inmates being held in lieu of bail in know other basis, with notwithstanding, subsection b any other law of the board of supervisors of any other county may authorize the administrator as defined in paragraph one of subdivision and k to offer a program under which inmates being held in lieu of bail in the county jail or other correction alpha celebrity may participate in the electronic monitoring program if the condition, specified in the pub division, are met. >> and then, it just goes on to say that the most most relevant section is appropriate for the program and it is appropriate for the program based on the determination, by the correctional administrator that the inmates participation will be consistent with the community and two, number two, all participants will be subject to the discretionary review and eligibility consistent with this action.

>> and this is more. so here is the and the delima for me is that would you have committed to verbally and what you just read is not necessarily the same and what i would like to see is to have some language in here to indicate that they will do this consultation and go through the process that you have described. and that is once you do that, i will feel a lot more comfortable in supporting this piece of legislation. is it possible to put in some language? i think that chair campos was alluding to how do we do this, and can we do some amenment to this.

>> administratively if i may this is still familiar territory to me and so we were not happy to save you the time and we will submit suggested amendment and we should have a full court participation by others, from the criminal justice system here to speak about this. and i think that it is important that we have a representative from the district attorney office from the courts, and from others, so that we can really get a more clear depiction as to the reality of what is occurring and where we want to go. and that is exactly what this legislation aims for. >> i agree with you. so i would like to continue this item. so that we could recommend some language and also, to have a fuller discussion about what the other parties. >> not a problem. >> not a problem at all. >> and i want to say, and i want to take the public comment.

that i really appreciate the openness and the willingness of the sheriff's department to work with all of the agencies, and i mean that i think that it is unfortunate that the da's office is not here, given that this letter came in, you know, and you know, last minute, and so, i am very appreciative in the one thing that i would say is this. is that it is interesting to see this discussion because obviously no one, and no one is in favor of putting any one electronic monitoring that is going to where the placement on the em is going to create a safety issue for the public. no one is for that. >> at the same time, there is also a lot of pressure that is being put rightly so, on the sheriff's department, to find alternatives to incarceration.

and so, i, commend you for doing that. because that is what we have been saying for quite some time and you have been doing. and so, you know, we just have this discussion and debate, about a new county jail and the size of that and the people who have raised questions about that, keep talking about how we need to encourage more options to incarceration, and i think that it is great that you are exploring that. >> i think that this conversation will help to break through where other motivations lie as to where are some of the contraryan pictures are coming from, about true alternative to incarceration, jail or no jail, and others. but we are going to keep pressing forward. and do our best to optimize public safety and make sure that there is not this over incarceration in san francisco, which is why i think that we are experiencing one of the

greatest phenoms in the country by having an under crowded jail population one of the most in the nation because of the programs that we are administering and because of the strong electronic monitoring that we did last year and the highest of any year in the last five years and that we had administrator in the em of 359 people. and this is exactly where we shoe be going. but never at the expense of public safety. so a letter like what we received here today. i think under minds the progress that we have been making, but i am more than happy to make sure that all moving parts are lined up. in a way that they need to be. >> thank you. >> i don't know if you have anything else, chair, to add from your department. >> i don't. >> but i would like to open it up to public comment and any member of the public that would like to speak on this item? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> and i know that supervisor

yee has recommended a continuance, and i think that makes sense. i would ask our city attorney to perhaps, you know, craft language that would insure that the intent that has been described by the sheriff whereby there is consultation with the da and a difference of opinion, approval from a court, and reviewed by the court that that language be drafted. so that can be codified in the ordinance. >> and we will work with the sheriff's department of course. >> and we appreciate this discussion and we welcome the da to engage in this too. so, colleagues, we have a motion by supervisor yee to continue to the call of the chair. we can do that without objection. >> without objection. >> thank you very much. >> mr. clerk, do we have any other business before this committee?

>> that concludes, today's agenda, great, meeting adjourned. thank you. >>

>> february fourth meeting of the entertainment commission, and like i said, my name is brian tan and i am the president, turn off your cell phones or keep them on vibrate just so that we have silence in the room so that we can hear everybody in the room today. if you are a member of the public, please fill out one of the comment cards, they are pink right up here on the desk and hand them to our staff so you have something to say on the item on the agenda and that

is how do you it. and thank you to sfgov tv and the media services for presenting this commission meeting live for the public and we are going to go ahead and start this meeting with a roll call. >> commissioner hyde? >> here. >> joseph? >> here. >> lee. >> here. >> campagnoli. >> here. >> president tan. >> here >> we have a quorum and we have not heard one way or another from perez or akers. >> as long as we have quorum we can move o >> we have a fairly short agenda and hopefully we can move through it quickly. the first item is public comment, and this is for any items that are not on the agenda but do pertain to the business of the entertainment commission, is there anyone here that would like to make public comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. and let's move on to item two and approval of the minutes

from january 21st. >> do you have any changes or motions? >> move to approve. >> second. >> this is a motion and a second. >> we can take public comment on this? >> is there any public comment on our minutes from our last meeting? i don't see any, so that is now closed. let's move on to voting. >> voting, sorry. >> commissioner hyde? >> aye. >> commissioner joseph? >> aye. >> commissioner lee? >> aye. >> commissioner campagnoli. >> aye. >> president tan? >> aye. >> all right. now on to item three, which is the report from executive director. >> good evening, as you can see there is nothing in your packet. i was on vacation last week. and so there is only really very view things to report. one is to reiterate that march 29th is our retreat.

it will be 9 a.m. to about 1:00 and i have got it narrowed down to two locations in the city and so i will let you know, please put that in your calendars. the last commissioner hearing that was discussion around late night transportation, and there was a request by this commissioner to possibly have a hearing in the late night transportation. but since the time of our hearing, there has been press indicating that supervisor weiner will be holding, or calling for a hearing at the board level, and regarding late night transportation, and i spoke with his office today and we met for about an hour. regarding that sort of invitees and the content of that meeting and the potential date. and i wanted to let you know at this point, they are looking at

march three, because then it will be at land use and so it will be a monday afternoon. and we will be asked formally to be part of the presentation at the front end before there is sort of testimony and public comment. >> so we will not be limited? >> correct. >> but we will be one of a few departments, so i don't think that it is for us to take all of the time on the agenda. but, i think that the... >> with the land use? >> i think that it is 1:30. obviously i am going to give you guys more concrete when it becomes clear when they actually do agendaize it. but, i just wanted to follow up with you so it did not feel like it was left hanging and there would be repetitive for us to do and i think that his request for the presence of transit and bart and any of the

others that they can get to come it will be a much more weighty discussion and will not be last, as far as i can tell, my request is that our office begin a conversation that it will not begin and end with one hearing. because it is a very big obviously important topic for this commission. >> i have a question. first, because they are holding a hearing, why shouldn't we have a discussion here prior to that hearing from our venue owners? at least with our venue owners and people like that? >> it is not that we should not, it is just that i want to be mindful of their time and i want to make sure that... >> they don't have to come here, possibly we can ask the public to come then? if we didn't ask mta to come. >> i mean, that we can change the nature of the hearing we are having. >> sure. >> i guess that we should have more of that conversation, you and me off line if you want to see if there is something that is additive, if you will for the purchase of having a conversation before, maybe we

want to wait to see what happens and have one after. and i think that we have many conversations about this massive topic as it warranted, i think that there is a lot of change that needs to happen and a lot of things to do. >> so why don't we just institute change. >> maybe. >> the pressure that we can put on them to change would be great. >> maybe. we will see what the best process is. so, any way, that is pretty much what i wanted to remind the commission of this week and i wanted to hand it over to sean, who we introduced last meeting but did not have a report and this time he does. >> another question about the hearing. >> yeah. >> and so, is muni planning to present the results of the survey at that? i think that it is probably just a brain storm at this point but do you know if they are going to share that data, because i think that there say lot of rich information in there and i think if you are talking about transit and bart and you can get lost in what we

are trying to... >> i think that the form of the hearing is still in conversation with respect to supervisor weiner's office. i think that document is public. so it can be a subject of anybody's presentation. i don't know whether he will specifically ask them to talk about it or not, it is really in part of the three or four articles that have been published.

>> i am going to turn it over to sean who was out on patrol twice now, since you met him. and at one point, the patrol was with commissioner joseph. and so he had some interesting experience and so i am going to send it over to him for his first report to you and so be kind as well in terms of questioning >> thank you, and good evening commissioners. the last two weekends were enlightning and educational. i completed a few sound tests, first initial sound test for a couple of venues that i wanted to mention. club malibu, 3395 mission, drake, at 508 fourth, and tunnel top and 601 bush, and project one gallery and human

video game at 550, 15th. i followed up on a few complaints that had come in and existing complaints since my start day. one at folsom, at that particular establishment, we were advised the front house and engineer and manager to cut the low end frequencies to stop the noise issues that the residents were complaining about. at 719 harrison, i advised the owner manage tore keep the front door shut during performances. and we did get a complaint for hot dog sven der, not a street vendor, but at 2241, called lucky dogs that were selling the dogs after hours and i witnessed that personally. and i gave warning to the

operator in person and the owner over the phone. blue sushi, the staff hosted the occasional dj night and i witnessed karaoke in action the evening of my visit. we will be following up with them regarding permitting. and i believe that we have a report from a naier of 1 odus which was an after hours party that was three weekends in a row. lasting from 3 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.. commissioner joseph and i arrived on the scene 315 a.m. approximately, and made a call to san francisco police department, and they arrived, three cars and we were able to shut down the party within approximately 30 minutes. >> general notes over the

course of two weekends, i believe in my experience, in the city and over the course of twot weekends, i think the very busy corridors broad way and soma and polk were all less attended than i think that i have seen. personally. i did verbal warnings, and with the neighbor policy and the incident to report was a visit to the parlor, and issued a good neighbor policy to them and spoke to the managers about their policing the sidewalks >> i went out to the hot dog stand and that is a long term

ongoing problem of selling hot dogs after hours, getting that done. >> i understand. >> i think that he was talking about the premise, an actual premise, >> yes, i know exactly what he is talking about. i am talking about those. >> informal ones? >> the one across the street from the formal ones. but i will stay on them. >> just a suggestion, in the future it is actually helpful for us to get a written sort of incident and if you can prepare that in the future understood. okay. >> that is okay. i am not pointing fingers i am just saying. >> did i miss what you said about, did you say something about lacacina. >> i left it out of my report. >> okay. >> they are here tonight, so we can talk about it then. >> thank you. >> could i ask one question about blue fin tuna. where is the karaoke?

>> behind in the rear of the bar side there is a glass incased room. >> okay, thanks. >> and 1 odus was that a house party or a venue? >> commercial property. as far as we could tell. we didn't actually enter the premises. but yeah, it was kind of wedged in between two commercial businesses it looked like a very non-disscript office door. >> got it. >> any other comments from commissioners? >> one more question for josylyn. how are you doing on that second inspector position? >> we are moving forward. it is part of what i like, the classification process to not hire another temp, but hire the second person permanent and make this position permanent. so i am sorry, that is a great question. >> all right.

>> all right. and if there is know other commissioner comments we will open it up to public comment, and is there any comment on the director's report? >> no, seeing none, public comment is closed. >> we shall move on to our next item item 4 which is the police department comments and questions. >> officers, any other officers please come up. >> well commissioner and staff, steve methias from the central station, just a brief run down of the last two weeks and not too much is going on, a minimal amount of violence in our district. different things that i have, two subjects were arrested at the ruby sky, 420 mason street at 2 a.m. and the subject was upset about having to leave at closing time and so he responded by throwing his drink in the security's face and then he shoved him and so the security took him out and as

they were going out the wife jumped in as well of the suspect so they were both arrested. and there were some thefts in the district, and in kennedy's bar and jones. and the irish bank, and hotel adasia, ruby sky and the rec room. and the last one, we had a battery outside of the hungry eye, that is 546, broad way, and right on the sidewalk on february first about 1 a.m.. and the victim was sucker punched and knocked unconscious, and the hunger guy was able to provide the video that shows the assault and so it is an ongoing investigation. questions or comments? >> all right. thank you, officer. and any public comment on the police comments and questions? all right. come on up. >> okay. >> my name is steve ocastalato and i was walking last night and i was trying to get some

reports on where there was a double stabbing. and at one a.m., last thursday. and which i don't want to go on record in terms of it, because it is a case that is pending and stuff but that is pretty serious and it was pretty violent and there was one of the persons had to go out in an ambulance. and it centered around columbus and broad way and i will share some of other information off line but the thought that that would be important to note. thank you. any other public comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. we will now move on to item number 5. which is hearing and possible action regarding applications for permits. so the first one we have is columbus cafe. >> and this first one is ratiba

hararah doing business as 901 columbus cafe, her son who is the manager is here today and they have been actually been on the corner and been doing business for years, coffee and beer and wine and they would like to add some live entertainment. you should have letters of support from some neighbors included in your binder. >> all right. so, we have been in business for about 12 years, just very standard cafe operation. >> could you speak closer into the mic? >> sure, sorry. that was our 7:00 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. and i am sorry, 8:00 to 10. and what i am hoping to do is tuesday nights from around 7:00 to about 9:30 p.m., to bring in

an mc, who will host and sort of head this sign up, open mic, acoustic singing and spoken word and poetry type of thing and i have seen him in action before throughout the city and it is a very professional set up, and i think that it would be a great compliment to my cafe just once a week for now any way. i have reached out to the neighborhood. starting with captain of central station. he gave me some pointers on who i should speak with specifically. and some general ideas other good neighborhood organizations to notify as is required by the entertainment commission. so, i went ahead and did that, starting with steve who just spoke here earlier. we talked about reaching out to the tal hide community center

and i did, martinez who is the executive director over there and actually spoke with ashley who was the assistant and we posted a letter of our intent with the specific information on which hours we would like to hold this event and which type of entertainment will be there as well as my personal contact information and that has been posted and i thought it would be prudent to contact the hotel upstairs for my cafe because it is a residential hotel and there are about 80 residents that live there at any one time. so i reached out to the manager and the owner of the hotel. and a very good relationship with him as he has owned that hotel for the whole 12 year duration that i have owned my cafe. and he told me that he has never had any bad complaints or fielded any negativity, regarding my cafe and said that, i'm welcome to provide you with his direct contact information and should anything arise he will contact me directly. and so we have a good relationship and i let him know

exactly what we intend to do. aside from that, there is not really like a development organization in my specific area. so, captain tom referred me to the fisherman's wharf community business district as well as the china town, and it is a ccdc, and i believe that the china town development center and i did reach out to the directors of both of those. one member who sits on the board of the ccdc her name is fay darwami and she is a strong supporter of this and thinks that it is a great asset to the community and also lives in the neighborhood and has boys who go to school in the neighborhood. so she also heads another neighborhood organization called street utopia which is hily
