park was managed on night two. >> right. >> and they are in the zones or whatever. to try to pull it back, and until we hit a point with the system that we are familiar with and asked that they use that same system. >> consist ley. >> and commissioner frost and moshoyannis? >> yeah, on the sound permit, i don't know if this is directed to mrt police, but we have heard in the past, depending on the weather and the cloud cover and the different things, and so, this is going to be a work to progress because if our, you know, inspectors go out there and they do the sound check and it is going to be great on one night, but then the next night, something that we are going to be getting a the of calls. >> i hope that, i hope that size and scope of this is going to be wildly different than the kind of thing that we are atmosphere conditions are and because those were, again, the

big systems at at&t or treasure island musical festival and i am thinking that the issues may not be as much of an issue for something small like this if we could get them to use a pa that is the same and set in a place and then we will not have wild changes by virtue of the different entertainment is. >> commissioner moshoyannis? >> just a point of clarification, my understanding is that i spoke with audrey before the meeting she was under the impression that there was entertainment done last summer with limited, if any complaints from neighbors. is that the case? i see you nodding your head. >> were there any complaints? >> we looked at noise complaints that we have had from the area and i don't know if we went back to last year, fairly confident that had been there large complaints in the neighborhood about the accessive noise that i would

have heard about it, so i will trust that there was not at the time, but i don't know what level of the entertainment that it was. and if you are talking about the band out there and they are loud and i think that you are talking about something different and is that a one day poe that was issued and i could let my permit officer talk if he ever calls and i am confident that he would have received a lot of complaints. or i trust that it was not. >> do you recall? >> officer, and the permit officer, at the station and we did get a complaint from the residents, and it was a phone call on my desk. about the octoberfest beer garden and i spoke to you about that. and it was not, and it was, a band, not amplified sound, that is the only noise complaint. >> and was it this group? >> no. >> it was the adjacent lot.

but it is all the same indication. >> okay, that is the only noise complaint from that area, in regard to music and sound. >> great, thank you. >> thank you. >> any other commissioner comments or questions? police? >> all right, thank you so much, captain. >> i am opening now to public comment, is there any public comment? >> nope. none? >> all right. commissioners, a motion someone would like to put forward. >> i would like to move to approve with the conditions that a calendar of events be sent to the police and to the entertainment commission. and that sound testing and monitoring be used as situations arise. >> all right. >> is there a second to that motion? >> second? >> all right. >> any more discussion?

>> nope. >> let's vote. >> wait a minute. >> okay. >> as they arrive, meaning like when he has a band he is going to call us and we are going to run out there and check the sound. >> as the situation arises. >> okay >> so basically i don't want to put too much of a fine point on it. because i don't really believe that they are going to be having a blasty salsa band at ten, like disturbing all of the neighbors. i think what they are going to do is small movie and small things that will enhance the neighborhood. however, i do believe that this is a new sort of permit and we have not really done it like this before. and i think that when they need assistance, or when things arise, that is when we will go and talk to them, and work with them. and deal with it. >> usually it is after we get the complaint. >> normally. limited live, don't have any sound proofing, or sound

testing at all. so i think that this being the first outdoor one, i think that we should see how it goes and work with them. is what i am suggesting. >> what i am saying is because it is outdoor, we should have a little bit of testing each just to get a point of reference that is all. >> and then they can do. >> are you making an amendment. >> i would like to make an amendment. >> could i have a point of reference, if you look at the photos there are buildings facing this lot and you know. >> what is your amendment. >> it is to have the sound checked through the applicant, let us know when he has a salsa band or a live music to have our inspector go out there and take the readings. >> very specific commissioner. >> yeah. you help me out. >> it soupeds like you want the initial sound test. >> i would like to have an initial sound test. >> and if there is anything different from the type of programming in that initial sound test that they would

approach our staff and get a new one. >> and we can educate them. >> okay. >> those are your exact words but i think that you mean just a salsa band. >> any band, live music, other than the movies. >> i feel like we can safely trust that there are and because they are working with the mayor's office and don't want to be kicked out, as the tenants are going to be cause cautious on that space, and that is a matter of aopinion. >> is that a friendly amendment. >> sure. >> are you okay with that? >> sure. let me make sure that i have the motion. >> so, the good neighbor policy, calendar of events and also an initial sound test as well as sound tests as new situations arise? or as >> new tested programs. >> new tested programs. >> okay.

>> so a sound test for the specific programming and monitoring. >> great, sure. >> okay. >> one question. can we... >> go for it. >> the sound system, when he brings in the different people, are they bringing in their own equipment or is that going to be one equipment that our inspectors could go out and test. >> i think from what he stated they are doing a kick starter program to buy a permanent sound system. >> so i mean that is my question. it kind of goes along the lines of once it is in place we could send our people out there and do the test and then, that should be it. >> that should cover it. right. >> yeah. >> but you know, again the problem is every band has their own sound guy. >> but if you are limiting. >> i don't think that it is like that. >> it is not like going to be programming like the great

american music hall, i promise you that. everyone is coming through the sound system, and they are acutely aware that the different instruments do different things and i think that we will be okay. but i think that the motion and the language gives us a well as the calendar, a tip off as staff and our familiarity with what the different programming means that we might be able to use our discretion, if we can make very odd. and it is for the city hall. >> yes. >> that is good. >> let's take this vote. >> all right. >> on that motion. commissioner hyde? >> aye. >> commissioner lee. >> aye. >> moshoyannis. >> aye >> commissioner frost. >> aye. >> tan. >> aye. >> >> the motion passes, congratulations look forward to watching some films there. >> all right, so the next item is item 7 on the agenda, commissioner comments and questions. >> i am sorry we have... >> item.

>> sorry. >> and that would be chamber's sean manchester doing business as chambers and they want to amend a place of entertainment to allow for outdoor use but the applicant has requested that this be continued. >> so, any motion in >> motion to continue. >> so moved flt >> second. >> and okay, so the same house same call? >> yes. >> all right. >> now we are oit em 7, sorry i just skipped over that procedure. commissioner comments and questions? any? >> commissioner hyde? >> yeah i just would like to say yesterday was world aids day andvy been hiv positive for 26 years and i would just like to remember the people who have gone before. >> thank you. >> commissioner frost? >> i just wondering how the agenda gets set. i noticed that there were people that wanted to speak and they ended up having to leave.

and what we talked about earlier was something that had kind of an administrative type of thing. where if kind of took a while. so i was thinking that maybe had we pushed back to the back and brought these things forward then we would have allowed those people the opportunity to speak. so i don't know how the agenda gets set. >> the initial agenda gets set by the staff and myself and i approve it. and should an occasion arrive that we show up to the meeting and turns out that the scenario that you are talking about that we want to move up an item because people have to leave or whatever, just bring that up at the beginning and we will move the agenda around at that point. but if there is anything that you don't see, that you would like to address, you can either bring it up, at a point like now, when we talk about the new business or you can, you know, you can just... >> any one of us. >> yeah, in the future, if you guys agree, i would just think that it is better that if we are, and i think that if we are having the community here to

talk about certain things, that if we are having representatives from the mayor's office or whoever to talk about something, that we could schedule them for the end and have the discussions about the permits. >> have the permits go first? >> okay, i think that it is a matter of opinion, because then the folks that at city hall feel like they have been here all day, and it is, and it is fine, that is part of their jobs, but i think that it is a matter of opinion. but i think that if there is something really urgent that we are aware of, or maybe that the staff can kind of tip us off about, we have definitely in the past moved things up to say that we are going to see it first because it is time sensitive. >> thanks. >> all right. >> any more comments? >> any public comment about our comments? >> all right, let's move on to item eight. >> new business requests. >> anything commissioner hyde always has some. >> i would like to schedule for the next meeting, i would

personally write up a couple of recommendations to send to jane kim's office, unless the office feels that they would like to handle recommendations. >> i think that we should you know, would i hand them out here and we could say yes or no, you know it is just going to be basic. >> but... >> yeah, how about you and i draft that. >> okay. >> that is great. >> this does not have to be a future agenda item but we had a request from the police if there is a standard way that we want to have them report out? >> yeah e >> if you could that specific question for the next meeting so they know in the future meetings, come prepared with a district report. or whatever. >> sorry. >> you were... >> okay. >> glad it worked out. >> any other future items it does not have to be now you can bring ta to me and the chair between now and our next meeting. >> all right, is there any

public comment? >> seeing none, this meeting is now adjourned. thank you very much. have a good night.

until january 15th and members selected and tarl february for our kickoff meeting taxi insurance in san francisco has been historically challenging over the past few months we've reviewed the goal of clarifying the policies we've got one 0 taxi insurance that was downgraded and one that if meet the be requirement that had been writing policies and an insurance company that wanted to enter the market by didn't meet the requirement i put together a risk manager and the cfo e cfo and our transit broker and taxi services we initially had a flexible review of insurance providers that didn't meet our invest standards but we felt

that maybe still financially viable to provide insurance we went through this process we tried to do on initial review of two intermits that wanted to come in but the 234re7b8 each other flexible framework was labor intense certify and costing we put it back to our requirement that's the industry standard at this point getting back to the requirement that is a minus 7 caused a lot of concern with the taxi industry and they had a strong reaction saying there's no affordable insurance carries we need options in particularly at this point so after thorough review with our taxi industry and the director of transportation the decision has been made due to the unthat presented strain on

the taxi industry and the difficulty of objecting affordable insurance sfmta will continue to accept all the policies written in san francisco for a 12 month period if december 1st, 2014, to december 1st, 2015, we'll review the insurance situation and we've discussed convening our taxi insurance team in 3 months to check in where we're at enforcement this is a huge topic it's important i've established a quarterly interagency task force initiative we have meeting with staff that work on the stacks of enforcement we've had our first meeting in october and had represents o representatives from sfmta taxi services and

special events and enforcement sfo and the c puc we look at the effectiveness of the pcos they've cleblthd data related to the tmc and report it is difficult to tell if a vehicle is a tmc because the trade dresses are removeable from june 1st to november 30th a total of one hundred and 80 citations written but we know for sure bus zone violations make up the 23 percent in double parking is the second highest at 21 percent taxi services teams up with sfpd

and conduct sting operations twice a month and the enforcement staff has joined the operation and they have a standing invitation there's been 95 citations issued from those stinks and all of those citations property owner to operating without a permit means picking up limos and t nc and sometimes, it's individual drivers without any annihilation 95 citation written in 2014 they've written one hundred and 16 parking citations and have improved our collection through a tax collector operating

without a permit in san francisco carries a 5 thousand dollars fine we'll really hoping to disswayed that activity and working with the sfmta investigations and enforcement we're working to establish a targeting pco enforcement of transit only lanes when the vehicles are stopped and taxi zones and to establish more sfpd transit in lanes there's a moving violation outreach i've been getting out into the community with medallion holders and taxi drivers are the backbone of the system and provide the high quality services that's important we hear from the taxi drivers and establish policy with the drivers in mind mta we've held a series of

meetings with the office of economic workforce development to enhance the driver recruitment and enhancement strategies they employ the drivers or have the relationship with the drivers we've been supporting that as well i want to highlight on a positive note a taxi driver celebration on december 15th, musk and award all taxi talent and we're working to get the industry to support it from the drivers and the union and the color schemes to come together to honor again, the drivers as the back won of the system the e l app at my last presentation i record that 80 percent of the taxi were about on one fly wheel and today, i'm happy to report the market has responded a one hundred percent of the taxi destroy will soon be

on fly wheel yellow cab was the only fleet currently not urging fly wheel has committed to integrate the fly wheel they said i could make the announcements they agreed it is moving forward to pending approval we'll have one one hundred percent of the fleet on one app so the taxi industry is working to offer a better product in order to remain competitively they're getting one hundred percent of the fleet on one app is a major step in the right direction we support this to supplement the capture that makes it easier for the
