9:01 am
the san francisco police department i want to briefly circle back this is a critical takeaway the executive director talked about the zero tolerance for breach as pointed out i think from the other components that need to get out to the security industry it they have to have a contingency plan with preparation to participate what historically we have not seen in clubs that specific event was well organized and involved any individuals and they came to distract the security and did it successfully that substantial allowed the reach and the subsequence incident that followed i think we need to look at security for intellectually i do want to say the group tends
9:02 am
stepped i applaud deputy director jocelyn kane we moved swiveling everything we we are getting will prevent in the future a breach audible noise to alert security the takeaway securities needs to be smarter and not easily distracted if they are and pulled from their post it is as simple as security pulled from in their post a bartender or any other staff manager needs to slide into that slot and it should happen smoothly and quickly and then lastly i know executive director speaking about active shooters i want to brought to your attention this is an area the department is in very good shape twice we've conducted active
9:03 am
shooter training as you recall we took over the schlage lot and did a school simulation i was telling me the executive director earlier today we used what is semi ammunition shooting live rounds the bullets are supposed is to be non-lethal and they are but they can pierce your skin i got cut it brings a real sense it is not a mock somewhere quickly with the theme of today is which is very different than in the past is in a situation like this what we're training our officers to do so long as on scene someone takes charge and they make just i
9:04 am
entry and the next time in passports times i should say what there was a lot of strategy well in the meanwhile a lot of can age on the inside now stop the threat we're doing the training in a way the officers don't know to know each but we're all taught to do it the same way it is intuitive and pretty effectual but you know the obvious realty excuse me - the obvious realty it puts our officers in an immediate threat we're training our officers unlike others staff we're con fronting the threat with the goal of stopping it nfl in the past it is deny at the extension of active members of the departments such as ours anyway wanted to give you that
9:05 am
update and the incident we are speaking it was a good wake up call but shows the city's commitment to zero tolerance o tolerance we met with them immediately and steps up to the plateed and studied the business for 4 working weeks a significant hit arguably close to a total annual income and the executive director said we're sensitive to employees they're impacted but on the other hand, it needed to be a serious wake up and i'll wrap up i met with the owners a little awhile go ago and did a walk through they've doing everything we've asked from them and a bit of a bonus for people to like to enjoy the place we're getting a remodel because trufl the place
9:06 am
never shut they didn't have time to get a good cleaning and updating and all that have. >> didn't go into the bathrooms but the space looks at good. >> i have a question so you have an active shooter situation and the police finally get notified it take time for the police to come and do their thing what is - there some protocol that is directed to the management and the employees of the night club maybe the patrons but modern than hit a panic button. >> similar i mean, the vice president of i've had
9:07 am
communications offline and basic things the ability to safely and quickly raise up the lighting you'll be surprised in some of clubs i've been in over the years and ultimately the place is sutd shut down are we waited while the place closes turn up the light a 2, 3, 4 thousand square feet and one hundred light bulb we need to come up similarly to what we did with your good neighbor policy and your security plan models was we have to starts looking at now okay you know what is your critical plan and what are basic features that you'll have mechanical like lighting and you suggested in the past every disc jockey a dated term.
9:08 am
>> they don't say disk york but to pop-in a play to redirect the energy in case we're getting the people out quickly overseeing kind of things those are why's that the executive directors and i have been talking about for your summit that is would be appropriate place i think to get that kind of information out and in a formalized way. >> this is a question for staff is there a way to message anything about security at this point just a permit holder outside of come october thirds you know, i feel like there might be tips or measures that kind of the best practices and security. >> so again, we're going to do a call to get a sense of how much information and how much is
9:09 am
appropriate and move it around on friday and then we can see if there is a little bit of something sensible to get out i don't want to - i mind want to do this smart and in concert with pd so everyone gets the same information and then sure i mean, if we can get something done sooner the ideas for them to finish the summit. >> the thank thing about panic b but the they have the ones you squeeze together you have to intellectually do it to sound the alarm and the police respond immediately so having panic
9:10 am
buttons about you itville and especially, if you have it in multiple places if the cashier didn't see it the barnyard or some of the dj see it and the bullets are good if you have an alarm system the company may give you one it is a cheap way to be safe but also training staff to hit the floor and hide or i don't know have bottles behind the bar do something to protect yourselves or take out the shooter it is important to establish protocols for what bar staff can do to stay alive for themselves and patrons i'd like to us to think about that. >> you know i think that like so
9:11 am
many projects we've taken on in the past we conveniently phrase best practices we're talking about critical and practices we have a lot of good dos and fridays conference call will be the first step hearing what others people are doing i agree with the executive director and yourselves the key to come up with a product that everyone is comfortable with and message it consistently one thing i was encouraged we try not i know that every industry saying their needs are special but looking it from the departments point of view i will want to make sure that if we're going to do something different for entertainment and genuine need i'd like to think that a critical instance in a perfect scenario proevenl probably never it is we they they have basic
9:12 am
elements and not train the departments with all nuances we miss the mark it is critical that with the right people at the table and have the discussion. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. any public comment on the police comments seeing none, public comment is closed. move on to item 6 residential development review consent calendar four projects on here. >> yeah. just as a review and you know sort of a little bit of inconsistent we had trouble with the quorum back the projects that have come to hearings and then recommendations need to be september sent to planning and the building department they come to you as sort of you know
9:13 am
a listing for your review not role for deduction but one content item to be voted on together >> all right. is there a motion. >> i move to approve the content agenda as it stands. >> do i hear a sec. >> second. >> great public comment not seeing any, public comment is closed. >> call the questions commissioner lee commissioner joseph commissioner caminong commissioner perez commissioner thomas and president tan. >> that item passes consent calendar passes can i make a request to include just a
9:14 am
little bit more information i think just the cover sheets in your packet the next time all around for the content items the listing is fine we want to get the practice that is having the cover sheet yeah - >> thank you. >> all right. moving on to item 7 i see 8 on the agendas is actually 7 hearing and possible action under the jurisdiction of entertainment commission only one tonight >> so our only permit application for place of entertainment on utah street a change in ownership from the previous owner and they have already gotten a temporary permits if mission station as
9:15 am
well as the executive director so there is no lapse in entertainment for the permits and currently they have the similar model for entertainment on djs and they plan to have live music and also are planning to add 20 thousands of sounds like installation to the ceiling as well as adrc sounds like curtains on the soundproofing this is not in a residential area if i neighborhoods in the area and i did receive a total of of 7 letters in support for those from the owners he have not's received any option mission station approved the application with the attached continents on the last page i'm happy to read those of you like and the applicants is here
9:16 am
they'll come up and talk about that. >> take into consideration a quick overall we plan on doing in terms of taking over mighty the application is simple mighty is a wonderful venue it can be international recognized in the music world we plan to create a beautiful new planned space and a need for a present location in san francisco operations and security operations will be mirrored on what we do with monarch with a season manage and managing partners on premise and we make sure of that in order to provide a safe and
9:17 am
entertaining environment for the patrons security will be provided by jury box security protection we've used them they've established the security company our plans for entertainment will be similar to the plan with the monarch house music your crowd is older in the 20 to 35 in the programming will reflect that sorry. >> they're to the youth tab. >> (laughter). i know we also plan to do some live bands from jazz to rock picture neighborhood outreach businesses along impeding and 15 street and san bernardino were contacted and aware of the space known as money two letters from businesses across the street longevities residents of
9:18 am
neighborhoods and 40 snatches from the building neighborhood and others neighbors from the south of utah we tried to open up to the businesses and fortunately to our delight the sent time was welcoming to the idea of our establishment i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> commissioner joseph. >> so you are not keeping any doorsteps. >> johnson is not assimilating that and one still remained on with johnson the reason we didn't stay that way mighty stated on and going with a contracting service. >> but not try to transition. >> we offered the ability for them to join johnson security and one accident actually
9:19 am
but that they needed guard cards, etc. >> i'm concerned eve people losing jobs and then under your your door policies bed checks is that what you're going to do bag checks. >> i think per the discussion we had previously our security in addition to whether it is bag or pat downs or pats in the front and making sure we have enough security guards to make sure the stairs and doors are covered after orlando there's been for me personally head of the security and i had a conversation what can and should be aware of and pride it is more sensitive is an ongoing communication we see a daily
9:20 am
conversation there were things that were brought up this evening i think we can push the buttons and in a straightforward way of protection one of the other items that the lieutenant mentioned was lighting and i ronnie in monarchy the ability to flip two switches it is nice to hear the things in place moving towards what is probably a new recognition of what security practices should be but rest assure we're talking about with the security team and look forward to a deduction with sfpd and the entertainment commission and there is additional best practices and want to know about them and i will say that practice them but understand what we can do whether it is just to be pro-active but the
9:21 am
circumstances that arose to training our staff. >> great to that end i'll recuse myself to vote. >> thank you commissioner joseph. >> can you can you talk a little bit about the improvements you're making there is additional soundproofing are you doing other things to the actual space and primarily cosmetic the great thing why we're excited one of the reasons it has great incentives you go into clubs that is just a wreck and have to start from scratch mighty has been operating incredibly well from manchester it makes it easy for the owners to transition we will want to establish a new brands and fortunately, i think we'll do that with cosmetic.
9:22 am
>> are you planning are strictly in house promotion. >> primarily. >> we'll work with some promoters but pro tempore's we've worked with for the last 5 years and established a relationship at monarchy and known the entertainment industry. >> i think know that a lot of people use the mighty for if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer thems it will be available for that. >> absolutely absolutely we'll work with a number of people that worked with mitigate yet and this weekends coming up with the pride with that said it is going took available so far if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer thems or working with the promoters but fundamentally the important thing we'll always be there and on the floor never giving up any
9:23 am
managerial abilities that's 100 percent. >> i get it commissioners other questions commissioner lee. >> the same security team as monoarches the same company. >> monarchies has their challenges. >> as a venue done a good job with the local neighborhood trying to make sure the partners are safe and it is a different over at mighty but still you know we want to be pro-active because cars get broken into and people leave the club so at monarchy we do our best to take
9:24 am
care of the patrons inside and outside i spoke with the folks from the alu and conditions of the licenses to be pro-active if we see something happened with criminal activity or they might be break into cars. >> tow so tomorrow you'll, joining the rest of club owners. >> one of our other partners will be there and representing monarchy at the station. >> have you seen the police conditions i'm assuming having video surveillance and report for thirty days. >> yes. >> okay. >> commissioners other questions if not didn't seem like it any public comment on this item? permit application. >> all right. seeing none, public comment is closed.
