9:32 am

good the chapel has changed their general council and within the past weekend regarding a complainant that reached out to us during the transition of martin luther king they didn't have a contact to the manager so 80 they contacted us their currently in talks about what to be moving forward as far as keeping the doors closed again that was a quick solution so they'll keep their front doors closed even though they have at interior it keeps the sound inside that's a wrap for me. >> great any questions for inspector burk let's more often. >> good evening, commissioners
9:36 am
i'll start with a complaint about city club i was agriculture to go by within 40 minutes of receiving the complaint the issue we don't permit city club and i don't preserve a violation on the ground the next step to go into the complanlts and 19is if there is a indoor sound that's as far as we'll go and pass it off to the police department but since we don't permit them i don't see a violation there is nothing i think that i should be doing so. >> is it the same complaint. >> yes. so we'll see what the indoor residential task we have to schedule it and he said he'll get back to me

9:38 am
from the block behind was going to be my question. >> i'm not sure where the complainant is located i mean it is in my notes but i do have to look to give you an exact location or whatever complaint was actually from pride weekend but i dot got it later and i talked with the management from audio with the people last week or whatever basically because of the activity i was out there it was busy the whole block i couldn't determine if it was audio and other places on the block i told the management we'll be coming by to stay in compliance a couple of compliance 1014 they
9:39 am

9:40 am
street a restaurant they had extended hours not open past midnight and they changed in their name to the international hospital they don't do events anymore. >> it is probably a good thing they changed their name. >> the rest is regular patrol stuff. >> any questions i'll be happy to answer any questions. >> just one question so there are still parties on the street location i know because people tell me so i don't know what you're going to do about it. >> the thing so we've only been dealing with it for two weeks so i haven't seen any in the last two with weeks usually we'll call a southern police officer
9:41 am
that has a flare informing for those events if i could talk with the promoter they can't an brandon i don't know. >> and 25 howard either. >> if that's the case yeah. there's a certain we work with the police on stuff like this the brandon i gave them any phone number he lost my information on the night so i couldn't put eyes on it on the night. >> okay. thank you. >> any other commissioner comments thank you very much inspectors any public comment on the staff report? i don't see any public comment is closed. a couple of more items tonight the next one >> almost a record. >> yeah. it ends quickly i don't see any police here
9:42 am
we'll skip that and go straight to commissioners questions or comments which our item 7 commissioners announcements or things. >> follow-up street performers is there any push i mean are we okay to wait a little bit or urgency. >> well interests been some activity at staff level i'm trying to found a way to work with the arts commission to try to have the street artists program engaged the street performed performers weo don't have the cabinet to create a program in our office more the tools in terms of amplified sound so i feel like there's an opening in addition mr. compton who was here before you
9:43 am
continues to engage the city attorney and ask him if that case is ongoing so there's a conference schedule for the 20th of august and after that we'll have a lot more to let you knows in terms of how to treed precede. >> is he. >> no, he's jimmy hendricks no but he looks like him to me. >> larry hunt is the bucket man. >> let me ask you a question is the street performers thing complicated if you're out there being the statute guy or out there being some other kind of perform he wishes and not amplified like the bucket man therefore you have a right to do that under the first amendment
9:44 am
as long as you're not screaming fire in a movie theatre. >> that's a simple way to identify one addresses another there are difference and different kinds of we calls them sidewalk performers as you recall but it is difficult for a variety of reasons in part because i only have one again blood instrument in which to manage and frankly that's not a system that will make mr. compton particularly pleased given his complaint. >> can you get street performers into the speaker somehow. >> we're possibly. yes. that is certainly on the skeletal like outline is to try to manage or deal with this but again my name is concern is to not provide a solution necessarily
9:45 am
that falls to the entertainment commission if we create code sections in a police code or municipal code and other agencies use it code that's mites preference i'm sure you're aware of programs at the port and programs at the art commission to take a lot of staff time we appreciate the performers in san francisco but i don't know that our commission has at cabinet to create an entire new program. >> does the art commission are they responsive to your - and fyi if you sell a product which includes a cd or tape unfortunately, we're so digital that is not the way people sell their product but a product you made you could currently right now go into the street artist program and get one of the
9:46 am
stalls in a variety of locations for a period of time that is already something we can and will you know send people to if they come in with that - but if they don't have something to sell they don't qualify if you want to put a hat out you can't in order to change that it requires a vote of the people of san francisco they're considering this is a very old 1972 piece of legislation you might have voted for it to create the street artist program maybe not you but it needs to go back to the voters that is not out of the question at all for the arts commission but we're talking a few years. >> so someone puts out a hat that's the major modification.
9:47 am
>> based on the requirement for the street 56r9s program do you said. >> you have to - >> you canned make policy change without going back to the voters. >> no. >> the reason i ask you is because there is a section like was created by the voters but when they the the music culture amendment to the 90 a it went to the board of supervisors only did not go back to the people that's why i'm asking you that question and so 90 a was a policy statement they're totally different we wanted to make an amendment to chapter 90 i believe you have to go back to the voters. >> so we can't do it in the street not a program making a policy thing you can put out a hat.
9:48 am
>> i think you can not number two of selling a product. >> okay okay new just asking. >> all right. thanks for bringing that up commissioner lee it is a good follow-up to a couple of months ago >> any other commissioners questions or comments if not any public comment on item this i don't see any the late item request for future items anything anybody want to bring up remind people our first meeting 40 in september a cancelled and the first in august hfa happens to be your anniversary party is it is not quite a meeting that will go to permit and sorry. >> doesn't we have an august. >> august 22nd.
9:49 am
>> august 22nd is scheduled for our entertainment commission retreat for all of us the idea we do strategic planning if you can get your thoughts going about - >> no. >> not yet we'll prepare that in the next couple of weeks. >> the date. >> august 22nd is a saturday, i building from 9 to one. >> do we have a location for that no. >> so we have a meeting on the 18 and the retreat on the 22nd correct. >> i just want to inform you i'll not be at the retreat i'll be at a wedding but i'll be at the 18 meeting. >> if we want to have our vice chair we'll have to look at another date okay. so it didn't seem like
