1:33 pm
can get out of the superbowl on the venue side i'm done i'm going to turn it over to the inspectors to see what they have to tell you. >> thank you executive order cane and good evening, commissioners very have a couple of items to mention one administrative cancellation to the chapel on 777 van ness we've been working with the multiple members of the staff to try to contain the amount of sound on the stages during the event until they get additional construction and sound proofing done occasionally they'll have the type of event that exceeds the event and this is one that night life a fairly loud band and more to be done to contain
1:34 pm
the sound like and suddenly one bit of information will an applicant something on the agenda the delores cafe we received a complaint a couple of weeks back i've discussed strategies with ownership there about keeping sound at bay and making sure that they have the tools to insure a peaceful neighborhood after a site visits two weeks ago we heard from the complainant so i guess all things are working if there's anything on my notes or questions about anything i've mentioned pleased let me know. >> any questions. >> nope. >> all right. >> good evening, commissioners i've furnished all of you with notes my notes that i'm not going to take time to explain

>> good evening officer with the police station so on a personal note when i've first flew to san francisco from main not every being to san francisco stacey in the tenderloin that was a mistake for the 4 days before i flew back to main i flew to san francisco to take the police written exam and studied and delores park cafe i have not been there in a number of years studying i have a job now, however, there was something to be said about her speech to you all about the sense of the community and belongness that neighborhood has changed since
1:59 pm
1999 and has become populated and busy as far as the conditions on the original permit issued by the police department 14 or 15 years ago back then a noise abatement and the abatement unit made the recommendations to the police department do the sub unit that's how the conditions i think as far as our current recommendations for delores park cafe i did a tab history a computer aided dispatch history for calls to service for the locations as far back as a year and a half we had one call for a service notice complaint that was february 6th an unanimous caller didn't leave their name or a way to discuss it the
2:00 pm
police arrived on escape less than half an hour after the call they were unable to locate a reason for the call i've been told recently by a good lieutenant that not to offer up conditions where conditions are not necessary not to condition for the sake of conditioning i'm not asking for conditions i know the good neighbor policy covers this very well the cafes needs the cafe is not a location where we have known gang members loitering you outside or assaults on patrons or violence occurring in front of that that said i have no recommendations for this. >> great thanks for that personal story too all right.
