proficiency communities. where people don't feel comfortable calling the police in these communities. >> we did look at a variety of demographic databases from the transbase to map and look at so they can see where the current lines and proposed lines would fall within special populations, and they were very vat for lower than average income, youth and senior population, things of that nature were mapped and shown and discussed. either multiple variables along that line around demographics that were included. >> thank you, my final question for the chief and perhaps you already answered in in your last answer. if we do end up with these districts that have some kind of variation that has a call for service would be
9:01 pm
adjusting for the police personnel by station to account for this? >> right, tenderloin is the great example for that. right now the market belongs to the station and they are at 24 and full staff at 36. so, that personnel would then be assigned to tenderloin. because of union rules and -- seniority, you can't just move them around. the other piece is that each sector car, it takes 12 officers inform staff a sector car seven days a week 24 hours a day. that would be 7 additional officers that aren't any place right now. that would be a bump of 24
9:02 pm
officers to tenderloin station. tenderloin station will bump somewhere around 60 officers counting the market foot beat from the market which is very significant for tenderloin. i think what ms. craven would tell you with the exception of southern station going down to about 5 percent and they were in the highest volume station calls for service already. it doesn't impact their service for calls already to serve police. as the 300 officers coming back, tepid lion -- tenderloin station picks up more than they had before. >> commissioner mall era? >> yes, sitting on a task force for years, i want to tell you this process went through the most difficult part. i welcome community
9:03 pm
input and what the public has to say, but in the end, there is probably going to be whatever are the needs for each district depending on what the department experiences. so i'm looking forward to the input by the public to see some of what their concerns or needs are, but, again, in the end is where we are really going to have to balance that with the needs of the department. >> commissioner, dejesus? >> what i'm hearing you are not part of the city department. how are we going to do that. i heard people that said they never went and never heard about it. we are starting january 28th in the tenderloin, how are we going to get this to the district to the people who want to come? >> it will be on the e-mails
9:04 pm
and website. >> it's not in a lot of our websites. >> i'm open to suggestions. >> there are many groups in the neighborhood that aren't on there. >> we would ask of the captains to aggressively solicit all of their community groups especially in the tenderloin areas with many neighborhood associations what have you. it doesn't appear the tenderloin had a tough time getting the word out about tonight. [ laughter ] but the reason we picked the four stations that we picked to have the meetings is those are the boundaries that change the most. we wanted the station, the districts to -- that change the most to host the meetings. so there is no doubt about it that they have their time. >> going back too commissioner hwang's suggestion how are we going to get the notices out and are we going to get the
9:05 pm
notices out to the communities with the language to the communities so they are notified of it? >> we'll make sure that whatever flies we do sent out will go out in spanish or chinese. >> all right, any other questions from commissioners? >> captain, do you have anything you want to add? >> there was a lot of work and effort put in by this office. [inaudible] >> >> so i was actually as commissioner dejesus well knows, i was partners with
9:06 pm
captain obamaer for a long time. he's been nothing short of heroic for this whole thing. he will be retiring in 2015. so it will be a big loss but i think he's being modest and passionate and he did a lot of work himself. so i appreciate it. >> all right. commissioners, if there is no more discussion, i want to describe that this is the beginning of the process. we will be meeting in the districts which are most affected boo the redistricting proposals in
9:07 pm
the tenderloin january 28th at 6:00. the location is not decided but will be publicized. we'll be meeting in the northern station, february 11th, location to be determined. in the southern section, location to be determined and the bayview section march 4th. the location is not stated yet. it will be posted through our website posting and publishing in different languages so it gets out so the access community and the greater community itself has access to this information and the commission is able to solicit the comments as commissioner melara points out. the public voice is important and we are open to hearing
9:08 pm
this. we want to hear from the p be on this proposal. before we move on, chief greg suhr? >> to be able to finish the process we are able to get our work done and reach the point where the commission believes where we have the final product then we would work with dem to get the new boundaries established and the new maps and the like. dem tells us it will be about 4-6 weeks to get that done so in mid-march, it will be no later than mid-may that the boundaries will take effect. >> thank you, chief. to begin our process of public input, do we have any public comment on our line item no. 4, the presentation of the district station boundaries assessment report.
9:09 pm
public comment. please step to the podium. >> david elliot louis, commenting strictly for myself as a resident of the tenderloin. i technically live in the northern precinct but i suffer the problem of the precinct. i live in the corner of larkin and valero and there is a honduran rock cocaine that are there. when gang members had a stay away order from the tenderloin they stayed on the larkin street. i don't know if that worked for them. somehow the dealers persisted. this is dealing right across
9:10 pm
from a community playground. it's a huge public safety issue. i was hoping that by maybe moving the western boundary of tenderloin out to van mess, that could help solve the problem certainly enforcing both sides of the streets of the tenderloin precinct is a huge help but i'm still going to advocate and hope that commissioners move the boundary to van ness. that will be helpful to giving the tenderloin the precinct power to deal with persistent drug dealing along with the western border. again, speaking as a private citizen is my concern. >> thank you, mr. louis. any other public comment? >> good evening, mary harris. i understand and i'm just
9:11 pm
doing this for clarification because there were some people interested but they are watching on tv. they didn't want to come down, that side on mission stay the same on the boundaries? >> particularly, there is a pocket on the northern end of mission, no, they stay the same. >> okay, i wanted to clarify that and just say thank you. some people in the omi have said that they would prefer that we were in the ingleside and i told them that we have a fixed car that is always in our area. they think because the ingleside station is closer. but we actually do get good service and we as a neighborhood organization that as long as we stay whole as a community, both ocean view, merced and ingleside, that
9:12 pm
wherever you decide is fine with us. thank you very much. >> thank you, ms. harris. yes, sir? >> hi, my name is michael cameron. i also live in the tenderloin and i'm also pretty much in agreement with the line that. but larkin street, the drug dealers would just move further down between larkin and polk. i would like to see the boundary lines at least of polk street because that would be different people they are serving. from larkin street from the park, it is extremely dangerous and they are also very crafty. i really appreciate that you guys are willing to accept community input on this because i do understand that, you know, every area has only
9:13 pm
so many police so the gap can't be too big, but just one more block wouldn't be that go of a difference. and it should would be a help for us in the tenderloin. thank you. >> thank you, mr. cameron. any other public comment? >> hearing no other public comment, this item line item is now closed. mr. second. >> city clerk: line item 5, public comment on all matters puerto rico r pertaining to item 7 below closed session including public comment whether to hold item 7 in closed session. >> any public comment on whether to consider those items. hearing no public comment, that item is now closed. city clerk: item 6. vote on whether to hold item 7 in closed session. action. >> do i have a motion?

9:22 pm
years ago if the youth institute and they saw that in many of the lower income neighborhoods and districts in san francisco that saw a high in number of mom and pop stores that own and hold tobacco licenses they want to see if there's a way to put a cap on that and it would also at the same time not to adversely effect the licenses in place with a lot of the establishments so we worked with the arab association and this legislation to negotiate and finalize the details of the legislation for the currently form we have now and what we're going to propose is that each spoiler district we want to propose a cap of 45 and
9:23 pm
no existing permits will be taking taken away if you are killer own the store it will remain in place and if a business lose their permits the district over the cap of 45 a new permit will not be issued in that district, however, i'll go over the details no new permits issued to a new location no change in for a new location. >> there are some carve out categories and certain categories of businesses like restaurant low you no longer be issued a permit a business remit for new permits no new permits issued to a new business between five or six photo of a school or
9:24 pm
6 photo from another tobacco store, however, a one-time permit for long term stores at the physique date of the ordinance for retail food stores that submitted a proof they've been in business foyer three or four years at the same location they can sell their permits along with the permit to the buyer for one time and if this new owner of the store the mom and pop store they choose to rain it for 2 years in business continually they'll be able to have a second one time permit sales to the second buyer of the store and also most recently, we worked with the cigar bar and
9:25 pm
they also will be given exemptions from the limitations on the new rule and permits will be made available one time passed down to a child of an existing owner this will not apply to the purchase ersz of the business so if all of you and my son had a business today, the business also carries a tobacco licensed we can pass it down to our children and the defines will be made out by bio logical children and this point you see district 3 and 6 they are heavily over sat ratted they have over 2 hundred licenses in those
9:26 pm
districts some districts are under the capacity of the 45 so over negotiations we came up with a number of 45 as a recommendation and this is really to help promote a new healthy business model there's been questions about would there be effects to the business revenue and it supports a healthy retail ordinances we passed supervisor mar passed earlier in the short run they'll receive assistance to change their business model because for certain owners they may the sales of the current business may have a significant business from cigarette butts so for healthy business models and programs occult there it will help them do more fresh food and
9:27 pm
updating their mom and pop stores to see what they can provide to change the percentage of sales of tobacco and provide new programs and products and other things so that's the general overrun or summary of the tobacco reduction ordinance and supervisor mar wants to call it so any questions from the xhirtsz? >> my commission questions arrest commissioner riley. >> hi. >> hi. >> thank you for your presentation and here's where the 45 or more predicaments in the district no more new permits being issued so how many of the district have 45 or how many under. >> about one hoof so this is i would need to get
9:28 pm
the data for you i'm not sure if you're packets have the day maybe 2/3rd's of the districts are over the 45 limit threshold. >> so there's a few that have less than 45. >> yes. >> so where we see i wish i had the map to present today but if you look at chinatown and in 3rd district and selma and the tenderloin and look along mission enter and outer mission some along third street business corridors along norway we go and cherryville and others geary you'll see a higher number of the stores with the tobacco licenses this is out of any
9:29 pm
memory now but definitely districts 6 and 3 are well over capacity. >> so what - where does the 45 come from. >> this was from the thinking public health department and with the gorgeous association it helps to reduce competition it didn't hurt or effect the current businesses because with the preservation of new licenses the current business owns what the license will be able to continue their sales and over and i transition you'll see a reduction. >> thank you. >> commissioner tour-sarkissian. >> i have two questions about the distinction just the name for a question. >> sure.
9:30 pm
