2:30 am
that the city imposes and bring that conversation that we start here back around with respect to the value number because i think that will move that conversation better. i put in my report an update on the appointment dates and the election of officials and we added the location of officers so i don't necessarily have to report on that i'll remind everyone that commissioner campagnolis term what we call seat 7 that puts numbers on that i can remember will be july 1st a she's agreed by mayor's office we're looking at a candidate being put forward from the mayor's office for that seat
2:31 am
we've hoping there's not a 60 day hold period we don't believe this is your farewell meeting just yet hang in there. oh, commissioner lee also is up his term is up so that's a board appointment a little bit of a different process but we do know the announcement for that asset unnecessary is posted and is out there i have not heard from the board for formal candidates we'll keep you informed everything else is good to go for another year if you need to know when your date you can send this around again. okay. i'm going to let you guys do our election that's next oh, do you have a question >> i have a question on the
2:32 am
sound thing so the last time the partners got together took for the nightclubs and entertainment they took the age bitten to 8 decimals over am bitten which was helpful is there a chance they're going to go back to 5 are increase it to 10 or do you have any idea. >> tyler going to obviously look to us for changes that this moves. there's no discussion actually know it's not an issue unless the commission wants to make it an issue as far as the staff is concerned it could be okay with 8 but i'll put it to the
2:33 am
commission to think about the difference between that standard and the standard that's in the good neighbor policy it's consistent right now so the staff struggles with it because there's two different standards >> i have one other question one of the things we've been hearing of late is human noise. so people on the street are talking to each other and it's 1 o'clock in the morning i believe that human speech is not can't beleaguer listed and people can walk down a street and so that's tends to be a problem for neighbors. people walking down the street and talking and laughing and stuff like this so is this task force trying to address that in
2:34 am
some way to educate residents or the public do you have any idea at this point >> yes. this is coming from a place we want to make sure with the source of noise is the proper department that regulates that source of noise. really hadn't been that much engagement but ultimately that temporary noise that's emanating from people is a police matter. and at this point i mean, the only discussion we've had around this is more like street performance than that discussion. just also so you know virginia has been a long on this issue of noise control or sound control is the attorney >> oh, good.
2:35 am
>> so she's guiding us along and i'm pretty sure on her analysis she's going to protect free speech the way the city also protects it i don't see anything that's going to change the standard. >> it sounds like it's more of a policy issue. >> because the guidance is the tool that's being created in addition to the changes in the law to assist all the departments in trying to educate each other on how we all do things and get consistency and get 311 to that p push out the same information part of the task force oh, this is for the billing department so there's changes that the silo
2:36 am
departments do and have something in a involvement it's not necessarily forward facing for the department but internal and create a second one i've brought up for a 311 website forward facing kind of are chart. so did that makes sense that's as much of the exercise to change the law. i'm parting asking asking two years ago you presented united states information about paris with minds >> i so want to do that. >> so i don't know what department wants to own that. >> maybe i should bring that up. >> commissioner hyde. >> well, two questions first, i know a lot of the meetings with the neighbors around sound when people call 311 does that create
2:37 am
a record of the call. >> yes. it does. >> so a lot of them feel their calls are not being recorded. >> no 311 complaints come to us every week, we get them all. >> do they show up on police tabs. >> that's a different system. >> okay. >> so if you call 01, 2, 3 the number one emergency that will show up you can ask it for a number back but 311 is a different system we'd like for consistency for everyone to use 311 for noise complaints we get them immediately if you will, and we can go in and look at them if they call the non-emergency this is calling the right place for the right
2:38 am
source of noise if you want immediate response don't call 311. the police are on call a that's what they do 24/7 so w you have to figure out >> so someone f is just a second hammering 3 o'clock in the morning they call the police what can they do. >> they should call 311 again, this as complication the more noise you get the more tour buses that have amplified noise and ice cream trucks. >> and about the size of the festivals is there a certain size the festivals people are going to. >> the criteria for the
2:39 am
selection of the different festivals but after the lgbt q it was after spreading among different parts of the city more around the diversity not necessarily size there they kicked out a you bunch off the list when they decided it was locals to them if you're in san francisco they want to count people that come from outside. >> are they doing fulsome. >> yes. >> chinese new year are they going to do that. >> chiropractors be no, but cherry blossom.
2:40 am

2:51 am
divided into multiple different categories for stuff for businesses and people that want to discover the san francisco night life and for musicians and the night life business handbook that's one of the main resources and hearing from the community from the joslyn and others in the city and obviously those meetings the night life handbook is from soup to starting a business and keeping a successful business running from how to start a business obviously that's more than just finding a place for great zoning but finding a space for the type of business and a neighborhood that works for the type of business you're trying to run
2:52 am
there's all sorts of guidance. in terms of getting permits. a lot of the work that ought to be done should be done before the application it filed. this site outlines the types of permit the restaurant and bar and nightclub might need and encourages people to take the appropriate preapplication steps to learn about how to successfully get through the permitting process. there are also best practices running a night life business and a lot of materials that the entertainment commission has developed the security manual they'll to have and this links out to all over the place. and finally a section addressing noise but perhaps sound another
2:53 am
lesson learned when noise generally and the various, you know, what happens if you violate a noise condition on our permit. and one of the things that came up was the centerpiece of the night life summit earlier this year was the southern that businesses have about new developments unhappy and what to do in working with the planning department we've developed this one page understanding new sites there's a number of tools that the planning department makes available there's a number of people in san francisco that already use to find out block book notices to be invited of permits there are a great map that the planning department has of permits you can input our
2:54 am
address and look up the permits and who from planning has been staffed for the projects really the goal is recognizing obviously, we need new housing and number one, the new businesses are disputing the fact we need more housing the businesses are taking advantage of the being involved inform be able to speak with developers and speak with the planning department in a way that is educated and not coming from a place of fear and anxiety. this site hosted one of the life performance handouts trying to get the word out to the community of live performance.
2:55 am
the legislation links for the night life and for the san francisco music community one of the pieces of feedback wouldn't that be cool if we listed the reco recording studios >> obviously late night transportation has become an issue and become something of increasing focus for us. and, you know, there's a great map that's part of it. that has been put together of all the different transit services available at night if you want to find it on 511 dotting.org it takes one click. additionally one of the efforts that i've been trying to push forward to try to encourage

2:58 am
talk about the planning department and the new developments it's true that the night life is scary but i've found peppering it works if you go to the developer especially a condo and ask them to put it in their cc&rs they understand that the night life is there and the builder sufficiently sound proves the condos with windows is there any of that on the site. >> in terms of the specific best practices that might be recommended that's not up there but certainly collecting those sorts of practices is something i'm interested in. >> okay. >> and director cam and i have been discussing and the full
2:59 am
range there's other folks that could come to the table and things that haven't been explored that would be valuable. really the goal here was most immediately to kick start conversations as earlier as possible >> how open has the department itself been to empowering those best practices and hopefully at some point recoding those to include those. >> we haven't gotten to the stage in conversations but in terms of helping me in fact, understand the tools that are out there i appreciate the planning department help there. >> i have another question. >> yeah. >> is there that do you guys go on merchant walks. >> the job squad has copies of
