8:45 am
with several successful businesses harder my problems whatsoever i looked at the taproom he think may be one last month one of the employees was hit over the head after they were trying to eject somebody but other establishments there was nothing there we're asking for 4 conditions one of the things we're i've talked with mr. kim or actually with the staff as far as the number action 99 there's system they have there i they have approximately 50 cameras so they were asking to change the days
8:46 am
for 50 to 50 thirty central station is okay with that it's up 0 the commission 20 or thirty days would be a better choice and t and t and the kieks room not have the run of the place and the taproom didn't want that either and the third one the applicant shall not allow alcohol in the kiearae room he don't want the booze mixed in the karaoke room have a
8:47 am
dark look with the rooms and window our feeling we'd rather have if adults want to have alcoholic beverages they're great but no reason to mix the kids the 18 or 19 years old it is too much of a teams if they've got a a cocktail if you have an open area where the security can look at people there is less likely to sneak a drink in such things as a karaoke room and the last one the applicant insures the staff is trained any questions. >> all right. thank you we're now opening it up for public comment i have two cards karen flood and kevin carol

others line up behind them two minutes to make our public comment. >> good evening commissioner hyde and commissioners and staff i'm karen flood the executive director of the union square district i'm here to speak in support of the golden gate applications for the permit you should have a letter in our packet you've received and, yes, we're supportive mr. kim is a long time board member of the union square and prior to that the union square board he runs good businesses and invites us out to lunch and holds meetings we have a team of ambassadors and cleaners he's also honoring them and recognizing them and he started off as a street cleaner and proud of 3 he's taking great

our supporters bryan first of all, jackson i'm sure you're aware of you guys know the location you mentioned you know the location and ownership k t has been there a long time and it's location is 231 fillmore street in the heart of the district the closest streets loma bar it's active in the marina that has for decades a type liquor licenses a well-known bars some blaze places like the balboa cafe those are within half a block of jackson now some of the other well known establishment is east side west an lombardy and mask and condemn
8:54 am
and on chestnut jackson is in the epic center of the bars and restraints so essentially a lot of bars in the area the goal for jackson and ownership in seeking a new entertainment permit for keeping pates u what's been going on keeping up with the cultural that draws us to the city in san francisco we want to expand our music program to include open mic nights and comedy for the off nights sunday nights an overwhelming amount of support for entertainment at this location do make the establishment the best for everybody in the community and over the years san francisco has lost it's culture within community i've lived here for a
8:55 am
6 years my friends and i don't see the night time so that's a .3231 fillmore jackson is a place for entertainment for decades and occurring to the current building owner perry that called me we have a good relationship which is nice this place back in the 70s was a country western bar that had cool acts and that's kind of cool to hear the ownership at jackson along with the community support asks for a new permit so we can continue to entertain our customers that's been part of the community i'd like to answer any questions you have. >> commissioner joseph. >> hi i have a bunch of questions but let's start off with talk about our experience
8:56 am
in this. >> my experience started first of all, i should give a little bit of background we're from different walks of life i was a police for san carlos and trained police recruits. >> in this business. >> sorry to interrupt you i managed a club for a year between career changes call envy it was on first and howard a staff of 33, 3 bar margins or managers and 12 security guard and 9 bartenders we would do thirty thousand in cash from liquor i was in the industry in and out of it for a a long time from there, i started a place called the brick jarred and two
8:57 am
under oath years ago i took over a place on unity street an italian bar we have a staff of 12 to 15 and everything is homemade and delicious food i can get a plug in the movement towards taking over a bar i love country but that was 5-year-old i thought why hadn't anyone done this this is a little bit of my background. >> so are you going to do country. >> we're a country bar it's a brand new country bar wood on the walls and brand new steel bars we're working so on some of the deck core our passion myself and my business partners is
8:58 am
really i would say we like to brand ourselves as a country brand military police bar you can give back you laugh with you we raised 5 thousand dollars for the wounded warriors we had all the blue angels that was awesome a wounded worrying come in with his reputation are around the nation is great we showed a video that made people cry it is branded that way and working. >> here's my concerns i spent a lot of time on the street that bar was a mess so the owner was really the manager was someone behind the bar the line going down fillmore street was a mess we got complaints in the 0 hotel
8:59 am
across the street and complaints from residents in the alley the problem with that place it causes problems on the street. >> sure. >> so i see that you say that security and management will play a role in policing loud patrons and moving them along to their next bar so you can move loud patrons to be allowed at the next bar i mean, that's kind of how it reads i kind of wanted to know i believe you probably are going to be really popular because it sounds like the theme is going to be cool the only thing i'm concerned about how you are going to manage the line along fillmore and the line along the alley not to disturb the residents so inspector burke
9:00 am
and paul i didn't don't have to cite you. >> i think a big part is the person working the front door we have an experienced person 3 couldn't make it here he's a door host my feeling we need to limit the number of people and those people are not going to be able to come in friday and saturday nights are the popular nights and the other nights have not been prayed if you come there wednesday night there could be 15 or 20 people at the bar. >> i'm sure you'll change that. >> we're going to try we're talking about friday nights from maintained to one and how to manage the crowd and not allow all those people if we're seeing we're k ts now the new barsr
