they didn't do that. when the hearing happened. had information. i was getting ready to leave the commission. a lot of that investigation was put together without my input. i was the point man for at least a year and-a-half up to that point. i don't know where the information come from to say they were out of compliance. they haven't been out of compliance as far as the sound. i feel like it is a red herring to hit the sound issue. you can do improvements. when you are not out of compliance. in the interest of time i will give you an example. washington square is quiet. i dealt with a venue. what i found in the residence sound level 30-decibels. that was quiet.

venue was raising that seven or eight. interior noise code sets the maximum exposure a venue can cause on the resdidn'ts to be 45. it net got up to 47. this is an issue in that area. i was saying i think there are some things he could do to satisfy the commission. he should be given the opportunity. in the least, you know maybe you guys should consider laxing the conditions pending whatever work that you want. then go from there. thanks. >> thank you. any other public comment? public comment is closed. this item. commissioners so we have a request to lift the midnight

limitation, there are a number offing requests they they are in complining with the -- compliance with the sound study. the neighbor notification hasn't reached all of the neighbors at least. we can lift this now we can table this until the january meeting and ask for additional information in writing. what is your pleasure commissioners? where would you like to go with this? >> i would like to table it until january. i agree with the comments of the commissioner that there is not enough documentation. it is disturbing to hear the neighbors have not been notified

properly. i don't think there is a decision i would be comfortable making. there is a lot of he said and they said in the room tonight. >> i would like to have the other commissioners to hear and see the documents. in general again, i would like to have the documentation, i would like to hear from the independent third-party on the issues or maybe not. having them in complains until midnight when they are in full operation it could be a different story. i am afraid the building is not solid enough. i really need to see the data and i would like them to show the data to the neighbors to let them know they are doing everything they can to mitigate the sound noise. that protects them. that protects bennett as well

because obviously the conversation in the last five or six years has been, yes, i will do this and yes, i have and we are waiting for items to be approved. in the hearing in july he was still waiting for things to be approved. with more data i can change my mind. i would like to table it as well >> could you be more specific. are you looking for the sound mitigation or notification to the neighbors in writing? what would you like? >> number one a letter of recommendations from an independent sound person. that addresses maybe the room in the back where the thumping noise or whatever is bothering or maybe there is no problem. maybe they are in complains.

at least for the record i would like to see that. if they are making any recommendations to fix it, to mitigate it, i would like to see a contractor like we did a contractor addressing what it takes to do this. this is similar to hal c.e.o. n's case. ii don't want hue to be different. they are having issues after they fixed the sound. there is only so much we can do. i am looking for data from an independent sound engineer. if there are recommendations for fixing i would like to see a contractor or whoever they went to hire to do the sheetrocking and when it is going to be finished. the plan to do the work and

whatever needs to be approved, get it approve. go to the land lord and say i need these things approved and show me the response or don't show me. it is up to you to provide us with the data to support your change. >> another issue is the plan for increased security. the plan for increased security. >> i didn't hear that. >> the plan for increased security. >> all of those other conditions were met before. >> i don't think there is a problem with that part. once we get over this part then we will redo the conditions. >> he is coming back in january with documentation around the plans. i thinked needs to be clear that we want you accountable to when we are asking you to communicate

to the neighbors and to the police department and have that in writing. thank you. did you have a comment >> beyond the sound level the other issue is the management or mismanagement of the venue. i am very concerned about the photo from the newspaper that he showed of people drinking out of the bottle when they are to manage that. the management of the bar i think is the other issue that needs addressed >> just to be clear that is not part of the conditions that we had placed. >> i think that could be part of the -- well the security. something with the security and the bar service. wasn't that part of the condition? >> all right. so there is a proposal to table this item until the next meeting in january the january commission meeting. i am trying to make sure we have

clarity for the permit holder on what the expectations are at that point. it sounds like the expectations are to have in writing for us the sound assessment, the specific plans in place including any contract or plans for modifications and copies of the notification to neighbors documentation to neighbors. is that accurate, commissioners? to be clear they have been found to be in compliance in the sound at this point by the inspector. they are not out of compliance on the sound issue >> if they can address the bottle service issue >> is that accurate, commissioners? >> i have no problems changing

it. when they are in full operation it is a different story. >> all right. so that was a motion to table this. >> i want to kind every it rate so it is clear. you are continuing this item to january 16th hearing and asking that the permittee provide a letter of recommendation from an independent sound expert other company including data and sound mitigation plan and providing copies of the sound mitigation plan to neighbors and providing that documentation to us. one documentation in writing of how they have met the condition regarding security. >> may i ask a question? >> not at this point. sorry. >> i mean i am fine with it. >> i think he does on the

security part. >> i second the motion. >> we have a motion to continue this made and seconded. (roll call) >> i want to say thank you to the venue where i mean we are hearing you are in compliance on the sound and it wasn't encouraging to hear from the police department and we look forward to resolving this at the january meeting. thank you. thank you to members of the community that came out on this item. thank you. there is a request for >> we would like to reconteen the entertainment commission meeting. thank you for the recess.

next item up is item number 9 which i will read. item number 10. consideration and possible adoption of proposed findings and determination in conjunction with the previously announced decision in the matter of a complaint against jose escolaro dba lao if i seenna's place of entertainment permit ec1216 that included imposition of a 30-day suspension. we voted on that at the last commission meeting and at this meeting we need to adopt the findings and set the date for the begin of the suspension. assuming that we adopt the findings. how we are going to have this

each both the commission director and the oficina representative each have three minutes to present their position regarding the findings. we have the draft findings from the city attorney's office and then we will hear public comment. then we will hopefully adopt or not adopt one of the findings. one of the draft findings. with that director wyland. >> themhello commissioners, i don't have anything formal. i am looking at my proposed findings. if you have any questions please

let me know. basically, it is kind every it rating what we heard at our suspension hearing. let's go through. the entertainment commission found the permittee or an agent or employee failed to comply with the revised security plan as required by section 1060.32 of the police code specifically pursuant to inspector burke's inspection on october 6 of sixth. the four conditions listed more thoroughly in the proposed findings i gave to you. secondly the commission found that permittee or employer agent of permittee engaged in conduct or in connection with the operation that would constitute a violation of police code

section 1060.20.1a3a. specifically jose sanchez who was the security guard for laoficina engaged in conduct on the premise and in the operation that would constitute a violation of the following laws, assault and battery and discharging firearm and unlawful weapons. they found the permittee or agent or employee failed to comply with the condition placed on the permit. specifically pursuant to inspector burke's friday september 1st inspection. they failed to come play with the following -- comply with the conditions. there are six you will see in the findings. based on those findings the commission determines that the appropriate penalty for the violations would be a 30-day

suspension. let me know if there is anything else you need from me. >> no, that is good. >> good evening commissioners i went through the initial proposed findings and decision and made objections to them. i have received a new one. it appears to be fine. i can't change what the commission decided. i certainly there is no time to argue about that. however, i want to include that we actually continued the hearing on this document just so that we can be within the next hearing or the history of what happened here. other than that i don't have any more objections. however, i do want to let the

commission know that lao if i lathey sent an e-mail stating regarding the calendar they were not going to do any calendaring of anything until this issue was resolved. in essence, they have not done anything since the initial letter of the complaint was sent. i am requesting on behalf of laoficina that the 30-day suspension be retroactive and therefore it could give them time now to start with their entertainment license again and kind of starting new at this point and take it from there. that is my suggestion and that is what i am requesting on their behalf.

>> thank you. any public comment on this item? everyone is welcome to make comment and two minutes per person please. >> i am eva. i live in san francisco. i live in district 11 and i am concerned about the said safety of this neighborhood. i have been here for the last courts and her how irresponsible the owner of a bar can be that has led to someone being shot on the premises. i believe that i just want to say that i stand with the 30-day suspension and we really look at this matter. it wasn't only somebody's life but it could be somebody else's

life. i hear stand for my community to say that i just disagree with the irresponsibility of, you know of owning a license and not taking care of that. there is a lot of bars that abide by the laws. i believe that just for that matter that a 30-day suspension will be perfect because he hasn't abided by the laws or rules of owning and having a license for this bar. >> thank you. next. >> good evening. i am sandra. i am from district 11. i would say the same thing eva said.

the only difference is that we did what miss -- you know a couple people going to the bar. they were beyond drunk and like she said they were super-irresponsible. they would still let the people inside the bar. you guys showed a newspaper earlier about somebody drowning i don't know what it was. the day somebody got killed that same day somebody tried to go into there but he was i want to say intoxicated. i think that is just something horrible that should not be. it is irresponsibility from the owner. i am here to say i would want it to be closed or i am here to support the 30-day suspension.

>> thank you. any further comment? >> hello. good evening commissioners. legislative aid to supervisor in the district 11. i am here he is in a board meeting to express his gratitude to each and every one of you for taking this on and state his support for the maximum allowed penalty which is a 30-day suspension. if it were up to us we would have revoked the permit. i hope it makes it clear that business as usual will no longer be tolerated. we are serious about cracking down on business operators who are not good neighbors and don't follow the law. prospects of suspension of 30-days. thank you for your support.

we appreciate it. >> thanks to the supervisor. any other public comment? with that public comment is closed. so we have in front of us the red line version with the edit from the city attorney. we have heard that both parties accept the set of findings and determinations here. but i need a motion to adopt the findings as drafted by the city attorney. and a decision on when the 30-day suspension will start.

is there a motion to adopt the findings. >> i make the motion. i would like to make the motion to adopt the findings of the city attorney as drafted as well as imposing the 30-day suspension starting tonight. is there any reason to delay it? >> retroactive? >> no starting tonight. my motion is to adopt the finding as drafted by the city attorney and to start the suspension starting today. >> i have a question from staff. did you speak with city attorney on protocol for sending out the suspension notice. whether that had to be starting tonight or if it needed to start tomorrow? curious. let's see.

the motion should state the date the suspension will start and should also state the date the findings are being issued which can be the day today. the date of the issuance is important in terms of the business and any appeals and so on. i think we should -- we state the date the findings are issued today and we can also state the date when the suspension starts. >> today, right? >> so my motion says we accept the findings starting today and that the 30-day suspension will begin today. >> i second. >> staff do we think that is consistent with what is

required? >> i need to do homework to send the paperwork that is why i was curious. >> you are here and la foficina is here >> may i address that. in the regular court of law notices need to be mailed. once nes are mailed that is when they become effective. that is just i am throwing that out. >> right. >> i am sure that is probably it. >> we are not a court of law but we want to make sure we are doing everything above board and in accordance within. should we have the findings start today and the -- my point being that it sounds like this needs to come from the commission secretary, not me since i am a party to the case.

she is likely going to reach out to the city attorney for guidance on sending the decision you guys make tonight to the permittee. it sounds like the suspension could start tonight based on your decision but the proposed findings regarding the suspension need to be sent tomorrow, for example. >> do we need to amend the motion? >> is that acceptable as an amendment? >> yes, that is acceptable. >> we have a motion and second. commissioner perez. (roll call) all right. thank you. that is decided and thank you to

the oficina and thank you for sitting through this long meeting. we appreciate your participation and process. we have another agenda item. i have a feeling that there may be a desire to continue it. item 11 is the good neighbor policy. i know there is some interest in turning it until the next until the january meeting. am i correct in that? >> yes would you like a motion? >> yes. >> i would make a motion. what i have handed to you this evening is meant to be a conversation starter. i have included notes that are hard to desigh feras to

suggested additions how the existing conditions could be modified and i am happy to answer questions as to where i might be headed with some of this stuff over e-mail. i am not sure if that is something i can do. to start the conversation with you guys. i think it is high time we take a good look at this and see where we will be able to take it. >> i think there was some interest on the part of a couple of commissioners in forming an ad hoc work group to look at this and develop with inspector burke some language. inspector lee -- sorry. i am so sorry. i have that inspector language stuck in my head. i apologize. i have done it to i think all

of you. you are the only commissioner. i apologize. commissioner lee i know you have strong opinions and feelings about these issues. would you be willing to work with inspector burke on the developing some draft language? is there another inspector? >> now, i have done it. i apologize. i will get it through my head one of these days. commissioner, to the two of you to work with inspector not commissioner burke to develop draft language that we can look at at the next meeting building on what inspector bucker that done -- burke has done which is helpful and we can update and

modify the language on the good neighbor policy. thank you to both of you for volunteering or being volunteered commissioners, to work on this. that is item 11. the time item then is commissioner comments and questions. any comments and questions? >> come to the party. >> please come to the party those of you still watching and listening. if you haven't switched over to the board of supervisors per visors meeting come to our holiday party. would you like to announce when and where it is. >> for everyone of the public can come. december 19th, it is a tuesday. 5:45 p.m. at the chapel. we are going to have live music by local bands.

we might have a raffle. what are we winning? >> you will see. i don't know. vip experience >> yes commissioner. >> since this is our last meeting in public i believe. i want to take this opportunity to thank the staff. you have reduced size and working very hard. we appreciate all of the hard work you have been doing. thank you to director wyland for holding the fort down. thank you to inspector bucker -- inspector burke. dill lopyou are a great addition to our family. i am glad we have someone for outdoor events. the project you are working on is a big monster.

i know that it is going to make outdoor event producers thankful and happy that this is one document that will explain this really weird process of this different permits people have to nag gate through. of course, to crystal thank you for your work for the commission. >> all right. with that the meeting is adjourned. thank you.

>> [inaudible] i'm a illustrator by day and a [inaudible] composition teacher. right now i'm practice by transscribing [inaudible] that is what i have been doing the past couple years, teaching myself. california college of the arts, illustration there has

really great teachers. robert hunt, vance story taught me a lot. what i'm working on is a portfolio [inaudible] riding a donkey unicorn in the process. >> my name is dawn richardson and musician, drummer and drum teacher. i guess i would say i started my professional path quh i started playing in bands and teaching drum lesson when i was in college. they were definitely not that many women that would do what is doing. in 198 8 i graduated from cal state los ang and studied mostly classical percussion and music education but at the same time i was in hollywood so played at night in rock bands so was doing two

different things. >> the reason i'm [inaudible] the people. there is a extremely vibrant art community especially arounds the red poppy art house [inaudible] as a artist in the past 2 or 3 years there is a event called the [inaudible] every 3 months a free art music festival that i usually play at and just met so many people. >> i was teaching a little bit and doing odd jobs like waitressing and going at night and playing in bands and meeting a lot of people. i chss in ban that had cool break jz get parts on tv shows or things like that. a friend of mine, we had mutual friends that got signed to a record deal in san francisco called 4 nonblaunds

and i addition frd the bands and moved to the bay area. i think things are different now than 30 years ago, the world evolved a lot. it could be a challenge but have to know how to negotiate everything and sometimeatize is [inaudible] it was great to get to a point where i was just treated like another one of the people, a musician not a female musician and that is always what [inaudible] >> you don't hear stuff on the radio [inaudible] i need to write music [inaudible] be more conscious in their decisions and somehow make that poetic so they will be convinced. i think i will do that. [singing in backgrounds] drawing and writing music since i was a really little kid and fortunate enough to have a good education in art

and parentss who supported me. i hope my life will continue to allow me to do both. >> for me now having all male, female girls, boys students it shows the world has changed a lot and people areope toon open to a lot more than they were in the past. you can get a deep satisfaction from responding a lot of year practicing in one thing and becoming really good at something. sometimes i think that it is better to get lost. you have to practice and become good at what you do, so if you have everything together then go out in the world and do what you do and then i think people weal accept that.

>> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelyihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for

manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital provide assistance loans help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many

of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting

things: architects doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists other like minded entrepreneurs so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in we spend a lot of time going to the design wall and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the

riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on talk to my cutter my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room i'm looking at it everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally. over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are

going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner. >> sometimes it's appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. >> moving forward where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user how they're going to use it whether it's the end piece or a he hadwedding

gown are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so that's the direction i hear at this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that
