expenses not a one-size-fits-all one cab company may want to do it one way but not have a rigid one-size-fits-all and again, i'm going changing the motion this is for later and on the gentleman's point if the fine for a bubble pen is extensive we can come back and look at it some of those things. >> i just want to pick up on the ladies point of background check don't you respond. >> all taxi cab drivers are to undergo a backward check for a driver to be a legal resident of the u.s. if the driver were to have infractions or in their home country we may not be

getting that information we'll get the background check of activity from the united states and so correct me if i am wrong and so that's the southern if there are issues from the home country that we wouldn't be getting and she feels the eliminations of that being a legal resident - >> yeah. >> i have one question about the fines how are they and is there an seas important the cost recovery enforcement or is that punitive. >> a lot of the fines are based on we have a historical schedule and that we went through the schedule and actually tried to think up the fin with the code infraction and the changes are matching them up and things change over here and not over there

increases are based on what is felt to be reasonable and a lot of the chances were suggested by the enforcement team we have cost recovery sort of analysis in mind although we wanted to point out the intention not to generate income or revenue only improve the customer service and act as a detriment. >> all in favor, say i. so, now we're supposed go into a closed session. >> actually, you have a few items earlier in the meeting general public comment on matter non-not on the agenda we have a

few (calling names). >> good evening. >> good afternoon well, it was afternoon i congratulate you, your like solomon and in the previous guidance that was very educational you didn't really deal with any of the issues you dealt with the general public comment you have to understand that you're killing the taxi industry and your not putting enough buses on and that's the only way you're going to get less cars polk street was designed in what the 18th century or the 19th century it didn't matters it can't take the traffic most of the streets in san francisco can't take the

traffic your neglecting the taxi industry and yellow cab a going bankrupt and they're cutting the amount of money to the medallion holders down to one thousand dollars that's jeopardizing the medallion sales force you benefit from and you're sitting around doing nothing the puc new chairman is talking about handing over general recreation and your doing nothing not talking to him not doing nothing maybe we don't need trait transportation at all you have to do something soon or no taxi industry. >> yes. mr. chairman. >> i have an item here just to

show here. >> oh, i'm sorry that works. >> so i just wanted to make it clear to everyone i'll try to be brief i'll answer my questions i'm excited to see e.r. is that did soto cab will be another taxi the taxi industry need to be recast number one conferring has to be the top priority and the reliability and the technology innovation the taxi consumers was asked about app and the majority have no idea you can book a cookbook with an app if you look at the color councilman at the google and the apple store logo is here it was

a big decision to give up the soto brand from dispatch years ago it was hallow with our new consolidation fly whole you'll leverage every taxi and wait less than 5 minutes for us to retain the large volume and enjoy this back to the industry we must support the fly whole and let the industry know this is a great view and my medallion holders and regular customers we think this is actually popular and hope to bring the brand recognize and brand back to the industry maybe a move out of the necessity

we're leading the move in innovation and maybe thrive by thinking this way if you have any questions. >> good luck. >> is tony still here tom lee you're the last person. >> please we if we don't forget where's our study going sometimes, we make detour but at the end of the route we make our destination but we have a margin to the mta about a taxi integrating the whole system the whole medallion is the last thing we have to refine it at the end the game is having their own vehicle of the medallion without the cab case in chief why the gay people only want a pay they're fighting for go to

city hall and amend i don't mind whatever they do we can will together but they want the same medallion it is defining to run ourselves why we need cab company on top of the layer we have to run ourselves we're sitting on the cliff we have a big loan for a cab driver not a lot of cab drivers not bow they have no future for this job whatever they don't want to fight with the tnc and uber come from the meeting they started their own uber like 4 years ago it is right now the director i hope she can listen to us we're represented of a thousand cab drivers i don't want to bring people here i'm so upset i chose

>> [gavel] the meeting will come to order. good afternoon everyone. my name is is eric mar. i'm the chair of the public safety and neighborhood services committee of the san francisco board of supervisors. this is our meeting of thursday march 5, 2015. to my right is vice chair supervisor david campos. to my left is supervisor julie christensen. our clerk is mr. derek evans. mr. evans are there any announcements? >> yes, please make sure to silent cell phones and devices and speaker cards somebody submitted to the clerk. items

will be on the march 15, 2015 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> thank you. please call item number one. >> item number one is a hearing to consider the transfer of a type 21 off-sale general license from from 5801 geary boulevard to 225 bush street for beth aboulafia doing business as target corporation, dba target express. >> i believe we have a report. welcome back. >> good morning. i am a lieutenant from the san francisco police department. we have an application from taret corporation for a type 21 off site. if approved it would allow the premises to sell off sale beer wine and distilled spirits. this is not the conventional target we're

familiar with. this is new in san francisco. target is looking at a smaller more contained model that is going to be similar to other pharmaceutical larger chain retails that we have throughout the city so this is a much smaller square footage compared to the traditional store. i will point out there are no letters we are regarding a protest or letters of support. the space was vacant. there were 16 calls for service. none of them relating to what's occurring today. i would mention that this premise is currently located in an area of high crime. it's also in an area of undue concentration. the department is recommending this license for approval with the following conditions. condition number one sales of beverages shall be permitted between seven and 11:00 p.m.

daily except thanksgiving day to new years day and prermented from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.. that is to allow for the holiday shopping season. no more than 5,000 square feet of the retail space is used for the sale of beverages. we want to tighten this up so it's a small component of what the business is doing. distilled spirits in sizes smaller thran 375ml is strictly prohibited and we want get away from the small bottles and looking for a large product that has a mainstream audience. no malt beverage shall be sold with greater volume% as listed except for microbreweries and craft breweries and specialty malt products sold usually the

designation as stout, porter, ipa and esp. this condition is intended to eliminate low cost products that are abused but not prohibit the sale of these products and we recognize the market of the craft beers and trying to allow that segment that doesn't create a police program but eliminate the low cost that are frequently abuse abused malt beverages. beer and malt beverages and wine containers larger than 32 ounces are prohibited. none should be sold in -- and the manufacturer prepackaged quantities of four. condition number 7. no wine shall be sold with a greater contenlt of 15% by volt volumes

and we're focusing on getting rid of the low cost problematic products and wine shall be sold in -- shall not be sold in bottles or containers smaller than 750mls except in multiple quantities and we are recommending this application for approval and i will add that the applicant has agreed to the conditions. >> thank you. i want to thank you for returning to the committee with your expertise and experience as well. mr. clerk we are notified that we are item two and not one and without objection we will go back to item 1 and this is in district 3 so before we have the representatives from target express supervisor christensen. >> thank you. i just want to

say that we have looked into this that the location is in larger commercial financial district location. i think it's already a formula retail area. it's not a place generally where indigents hang out or take available of the opportunities here, but also one of the things that we have been looking at in the area is more neighborhoods serving businesses. we are hoping to increase residential capacity in this area so a facility like this one that would not only serve the workers of the financial district but also potentially be an asset to neighbors that might live by is generally looked upon favorably so my office has not been able to find anyone in opposition to this so we think it's a good use for the building. >> thank you. now i would like to ask if the target reps could come forward. thank you.

>> so hello i am the store manager of the taret express that opened up in the financial district yesterday. i am happy to speak on behalf of target and thrilled to be bringing a new store to the city where i was born and raised. the taret express model much like what you have seen at aims roll out a smaller footprint in existing urban spaces to fit the culture and the integrity of the neighborhood. taret has been well received in the san francisco community and proud of the partnership we have created here including the prarp with mission hiring hall that we hire local san franciscans in our stores and 80% of the work force are san francisco residents. as you know we give 5% of the post tax profits back the

surrounding community. in 2013 alone we provided more than $1 million in schools and nonprofit organizations in san francisco. taret is committed to be a good corporate partner and we are able to do this through successful sales of our products at our stores. because of this i encourage you to approve our liquor license for the new taret express financial district. thank you. >> thank you. are there any questions colleagues for ms. lui? i had a question how large are the taret expresses versus the different other size stores within the company? >> our typical general merchandise stores are around 150,000 square feet. our city tarets are from 80 to 40 and taret express is around 20,000 square feet. >> great. thank you. let's open this up -- supervisor christensen. let's open it up for public comment then. thank

you very much. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? seeing none. public comment is now closed. [gavel] . supervisor christensen. >> shall i move to the board with approval. >> yes and do that without objection. thank you. mr. evans call item 1. >> item 1 is consider a type 48 on-sale general public premises license from 1501 folsom street to the same street as expansion of premises to leticia m. luna for lml resaurants inc. >> thank you. lieutenant. >> supervisor before us is an existing club. it hasn't been operating recently but they're doing a premise expansion. it's going to be a rebranding of a previous club and going to be multi-level. the first level is primarily a music on the main level followed up by a smaller

lounge on the second floor also with the music component and i think the most significant change we're looking at is a top floor that will be a food component. the type of license we're talking about a 48 is an on sale general which means if approved it will allow them to see on site beer, wine and disspilled spirits but they're chooses to provide food and not required by the license and primarily on the roof top level. we have no record of any protests. we have no record of any support. similar to the previous application we reviewed there are some calls for service but the premise is currently been boarded up. there have been 52 calls for service. most are quality of life related and if anything i see that number significantly dropping once the premise is open and operating again. i would point out this is located in an area of high crime and in an area of undue

concentration of liquor licenses. we are recommending this application for approval with the following conditions. condition number one. sales service consumption of beverages shall be permitted between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. on sunday 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. monday through saturday and on new years avenue, christmas eve, thanksgiving eve and the 4th of july and been memorial day and labor day. we do that because of the fluctuation with calendars and had concerns in the past from the industry with locking them into hours. number two. hours are listed for the sales for the roof and cutting the roof hours back. condition number 3 regarding security. personnel should be readily identifiable by security by

wearing distinctive clothing that has a logo of the establishment and security staff. condition number 4. between 4:00 p.m. and 1/2 hour pass closing there shall be security personnel and prevent active eight prevent with the quiet employment by residents. the key component is the extra half-hour on the back end and we get everyone excited not wanting to go home and outside chatting and smoke and that could be problematic so with that support of security it will make it easier transition for the community at night time. number 5. the sale of alcohol beverages for off sale consumption and strictly prohibited. a lot of people don't realize our licenses have inherent underlying secondary privileges. although this is on site license it has an off site

privilege so if we don't put that condition it could be an off sale liquor store so we keep them in their environment and supper club environment. condition number 7. -- no excuse me. number 6. no person under the age of 21 years shall furnish or deliver alcoholic beverages. number 7. no noise should be audible beyond the control of the licensee. number 8. the petitioner is responsible for free of litter adjacent to the premise which they have control. regarding loitering. it's defined to stand idling about aimlessly without lawful business is prohibited under the license of the premise and under the control of licensee. number 10 and 11 speak to lighting and the interior lighting should be

sufficient to see all patrons where alcohol beverages are delivered, consumed or purchased and make easily discernible the conduct of all persons on the premises and shall not disturb the normal privacy and use of any neighboring precedents. condition number 12. at no time shall the third operator promoter should have operation over this business. we want the ownership of the license to be responsible for his business and lastly graffiti. shall be removed from the premises and all parking lots within 72 hours of application. if it occurs on a friday or weekend day or holiday they shall remove it 72 hours following the next business -- excuse me beginning the next weekday. with these

conditions we are recommending this application for approval and i would also add that also in this case the applicant has concurred with these conditions. >> colleagues are there any questions? supervisor christensen. >> the roof top service of alcohol. is that a condition that existed when the club was in operation before? >> no. there was not roof top service that we're aware of and certainly not part of the previous license. that i can speak for sure too. >> i thought i remembered the location. so can we presume that any changes to the building or any expansion permits they have gotten have dealt with noise and light glare issues related to adjacent properties? >> i think what we can speak for sure it went through the planning department and approved to get to this point. the other thing i can tell you they think is relevant to your question
