and the community that's really supported and embraced the project has done so for -- to a large degree because of the future access to the waterfront that they've not had access to for quite a while. >> that park will be in phase one? >> exactly, exactly. i think this is a rendering we've shown before. this is the walkway between building 2 and building 12. and you see that market hall on the right and the beginnings of that plot, first a plaza, an urban plaza, that transitions into the slipways commons park out to the waterfront. at the waterfront park -- the buildings that you see in the rendering won't be done in the first phase, with you this portion is the spillways commons portion of the waterfront. so i'm going to stop there, to

be conscious of time. and if you would like to talk about public benefits, i have a slide on that. or if you want to see the context for phase two and three, i can flip to that. in general, that's the program of phase one. we are looking at demolition starting first quarter, maybe second quarter. we'll be doing grading and building infrastructure probably second quarter and hopefully we'll be opening the new and rehabilitated buildings in late 2020, early 2021. >> and are those intended to be historic tax credit projects? >> we would love them to, and we were happen to see that -- although there were modifications to the program -- that the tax credits did survive. so we've filed a part 1 and we have a conversation to have with

nps. >> great. thank you. any questions? >> commissioner pearlman? >> commissioner pearlman: do you know the timing related to the orton project? >> i believe some of theirs will open late this year and others will trail into 2019. >> oh, okay. they're in advance. >> orton has one tenant in today in building 14. later this month they will have west side of building 13. later this spring, the east side of 113 occupied. and 104 occupied. so after the spring, what we'll be waiting for is for restoration hardware and anticipating late this year and early next year and then we're

in discussions with how to get 102 up and ready. >> are they doing 20th street improvement snz >> that will be part of the port city project. >> we'll take public comment. does any member of the public wish to speak? if so, come forward. seeing and hearing none, we'll close public comment. commissioners, any comment? >> this is great, but appropriate of your question about relationship of what is happening and the orton historic renovations, i would be interested in an update on that. i know we had a presentation. >> it was a long time ago and then another one got canceled, i believe. >> yeah. >> we can ask for one. >> i like what you were just saying -- >> i think there are two ways of

handling it. i was down there last week and it's a phenomenal -- it's phenomenal to go down there and see the facilities live and in action. so we could do either or both. you let us know. >> we could do a tour. >> tours are interesting, but they're challenging logistically because we have to have public comment. >> maybe eddie can come back -- i think it would be helpful. >> if you like, we could work with the port to arrange another presentation. >> i think the last time, everything was speculative and didn't show drawings or photographs. it's very conceptual and now it's real projects. >> thank you. we have no further comments. we'll move on. thank you for your presentation. good material. thank you. >> very good, commissioners. that will place us on item 15

for alcatraz embarkation site at piers 31-33. we have a request from the port to continue this for two weeks to february 21. >> we need to ask for public comment on this item. any member of the public wish to comment? seeing none, we close public comment. move to continue? >> yes. >> second. >> on that motion -- [roll call] so moved. commissioners, motion passes unanimously 5-0, placing us on the final item today, item 16, landmark designation works

program and draft cultural heritage work program yachterly reports. >> desiree smith, staff. th i will summarize the work program items that have come before you and provide an update and the performance measures we're tracking. during the reporting period, staff reviewed and commented on a draft outline compared by the consultant there was selected. the project is being administered by arg and the primary author will be working alongside the chinese american historical society. you adopted a resolution recommending eight applications. board of supervisors approved five of the applications.

the remaining three were not moved out of committee. staff conducted research and drafted content for the african-american historic context statement that responds to comments from the community stake holders and the public. staff conducted an oral history as part of the research document. in addition, we have a copy editor, would -- working with us to finalize that statement. for 3rd baptist church, approved by the board of supervisors and signed by the mayor during the reporting period. you voted to remember board of supervisors approval for george washington high school, theodore roosevelt middle school and sunshine school. all three nominations were transmitted to the board of supervisors. you also voted to recommend

approval of two additional regulations, diamond heights safety well and pagoda peace plaza. phillips building, historic preservation. and 1337 heather street, former religious school for temple ex-annual. the report is complete at this point. if you would like to discuss that in terms of prioritization, we can do that, if you would like. you also adopted eureka statement. 75% draft of three national register nominations compared by consultants for the department san francisco sites of civil

rights project. those nominations are for glide memorial church, downtown ywca and masonic lodge and hotel. we forwarded logs for comment and we have provided those to the consultants. that summarizes the main projects in the active pipeline. in addition to the landmark designation, staff serves aztec knickal support to the historic fund committee. we're working on the reports for sacred heart, in which it was initiated on october 5, 2016, and the item was heard again today. the new deal era that were forwarded to the board of supervisors for recommendation. the residents historic context

statement. the eureka valley concept statement. african-american historical concept statement, which was taken off the calendar and continued indefinitely, as we're making edits in response to community comments. copy editor is also working with us and we expect to complete that document this quarter and will bring it back after redistributing it to the community. in addition, we're working on hpc with latino statement. and during the reporting quarter, received documentation from the consultant team and will be reviewing that this quarter. the department survey team continued to look at the lgbtq

heritage strategy. first, to prepare landmark designation report within 150 staff hours. the hours have not increased, 206 hours continues to be the only property that exceeds that amount. the last completed designation took a total of 74 hours to complete. article 10 and 11 designation, which is on our website since april, 2015. the third performance measure was to provide comments regarding completeness or schedule hpc hearings for all community-sponsored applications. staff got the application and

has been introduced to the board of supervisors. the staff will maintain the quarterly report. the next update april 8, 2018. commissioners, that concludes my presentation. we'll come back to you april 18, 2018. this concludes my presentation. shelly caltagirone would like to present on cultural heritage work that the department is going. -- doing.

>> hello. shelley caltagirone, cultural heritage staff. sorry for the technical problems. we're drafting a cultural heritage work program and we would like to start reporting quarterly just like we do at the landmark designation work program. i have a presentation and handouts if you want to look at it, but it's really just a copy and paste of the language that you have in your report. raise your hand if you would like one. okay. so i will walk you through the contents of the report and then on the last slide i reiterated some of the questions we had about formatting and content of the report so we can revise for

the next quarterly. i will begin with the event. i did not list all of the events on the side, but wanted to note some of the events, which the commission did not attend, so nonhearing items the first being on december 4, the planning department cultural heritage specialist started working, and that is me. [applause] i've taken over the new position and i will be managing the quarterly reports moving forward. on december 5, staff attended with commissioner matsuda, a branding committee. and we'll work back on that in the next couple of months. i think it's planned to conclude in april. so we should have some products from that to share with you. and then on december 15,

planning department staff attended a kickoff meeting with the lgbtq strategy working group and it will develop the development strategy. the next section is the cultural heritage district designations and strategies. the only recent designation is the san francisco leather cultural district. it was proposed in september, 2017. supervisors kim and sheehy announced the draft legislation and meetings are being held by the working group and they also have a website, where you can sign their legislation, map of their district and inventory of their cultural heritage assets and i will make closer contact

with the working group and may have more information to share with you either when the cultural heritage assets meetings or the next quarterly report. next are historic preservations from committee projects. the only project we had to report on is the lgbtq cultural heritage strategy report. it's a request for $50,000. at the time of the request, staff had spent 630 hours on technical assistance to the working group and we anticipate another 300 to 350 hours and the project is intended to conclude in april of this year. that's probably wishful thinking, but that's our goal. some other cultural heritage

work program items include the legacy business oral history project. the department partnered with the usf professors to document some oral histories from legacy businesses that had been previously nominated. we heard that the professors are interested in repeating that program for summer 2018. so i will be reporting back to you in the next couple of months on how we can structure that program and how many oral histories we might be able to get out of that work. we also have, as i mentioned, the legacy business branding project. and i will not repeat those details. the next section goes over our performance measures. we are proposing four performance measures, one being the hours to prepare and process a legacy business registry

application. next, the hours to prepare the cultural heritage strategy. and, third, a survey methodology for evaluating cultural heritage. that's something that -- i put in a place holder deadline of june 30, 2019. i think there's quite a bit of work to do there, but we've gotten started with some of the work. our intern in 2017 prepared for us. so we're in progress and hopefully we'll have methodology -- we'll work on it this year. we'll submit and present a work program quarterly report with the next due in march. and then the next two slides break down our fte and proposed hours for the cultural heritage specialist position, which in theory encompasses most of the

heritage work program. these numbers could change, but they're what we're presenting to the department right now in terms of budgeting this position. so approximately 1/4 of the fte goes towards ongoing programs including cultural heritage district liaison, community working groups and other agencies within the city's handling. also acting as a legacy business liaison and doing work to help outreach and development of the program. next is the cultural heritage policy development and legislation, a catch-all for any legislation that may be forthcoming concerning cultural heritage issues. and then we have a general category for community outreach and training. and then last, administrative

work for the cultural heritage assets committee. specific case work includes technical assistance for the cultural districts or cultural strategies, work on the cultural heritage element. we do have a final draft that's ready for internal review with the planning department and we'll be developing our public outreach program this year. we're also ready to start working on the environmental review for that document. we also have the citywide survey, which we'll be working on a methodology to survey intangible cultural heritage. we have the context statements, which i would be assisting with, developing a framework for intangible resources and area plans that our citywide division

proposes. we would help to navigate cultural heritage issues in the comments. we're working on the film in that capacity and last the legacy business cases, as i presented today. so these are some the questions we have for the commission, simply, the report format. if you have any recommendations for how we present the information. the level of information for different sections, if you would like to see more or less. the performance measures, if you have any recommendations for performance measures. and there are programs and projects. the landmarks designation also has a process section that outlines the process for designations. if you would like to see something similar, we can attempt that. right now, there's not a clear process for cultural heritage district nomination, but we can take a stab at it.

and look at what has been done in the past and maybe give a best practices guideline there. and then last, had some recommendations for other report sections you might be interested in including potential future projects, any public outreach work that we're doing or planning on completing, and then any nondepartmental cultural heritage work if we have a current events section things that we hear about that we're not directly working on. i would welcome your comments and that's the -- completes my presentation. >> commissioners, first, i wanted to thank shelley and desiree for a great presentation, but also to point out to you that with shelley's presentation, there is a lot of

detail that we're showing you related to how we're dividing that fte. we think it's helpful and necessary because it's a new position. as this is a growing area of concern and interest by the city family and the public. if there are future budgetary implications to expand the number of cultural heritage specialists we have, we hope that tracking it in this detail could make the case. it's not meant to inundate you with details, but if that information is helpful, we can include it maybe in the appendix or give it to you on an as-needed basis, but be aware that we're tracking it closely

for those reasons. >> commissioner matsuda? >> commissioner matsuda: that's a really good idea to help desiree and shelley out in the future. i was going to mention the methodology for intangible resources, that would be such a hot topic for the national trust and so when and -- when that's available to make those suggestive classes or discussions, i would like to see that as well as legacy businesses. and, actually -- well, the commission gets excited about hearing from legacy businesses, so if they could be a part of a discussion at the trust, i think that would encourage other communities, where there are a lot of small and medium businesses to think of similar legislation, so we can spread the word.

thank you very much. >> commissioner pearlman? >> commissioner pearlman: thank you. i think the idea of the tracking is really significant, one, to see if there's growth. the other is just to see how it plays out. i mean, you've got these as place holders now and you are going to find that one area will be much more -- need much more time and then what do you do? and ho do you balance those needs? the other thing i was going to say, i was excited in desiree's presentation, as i'm preparing for a talk i am giving in a couple of weeks, i was looking at the history of landmarks and i was looking by decade and how many. and it started dropping way decade starting in the 1970s to the 2000s. it was 20 some-odd landmarks and i know we talked about this when i was first on the commission

about how few we have and we've been trying to build and build, so i was very excited to hear that there were five or six just in this quarter. and then all the context reports. there was so much activity. so it's very exciting that we're really picking up the pace and the broadening of the scope of what we look at and what we care about is just very encouraging and exciting. so thank you for the work you guys do and congratulations, shelley, on moving into this new world, essentially, is a new way of looking at what we all do. >> thank you. commissioner johnck? >> commissioner johnck: i'm excited about natural resources in the program. now we need another person, right? [laughter] andrew, you've -- i was spurred to more thinking about this because of your recommendation for the tree as a landmark.

and so the cultural -- we have cultural landscape designation and we can recommend natural resources. as a cultural resource, there are several. we have parks. and we started a discussion with park and recreation department regarding the overlap of our interest and golden gate park. so there's a lot of relationship with social, cultural and natural resources. so how we do that, i don't know. whether it's tangible or intangible, it's both. so i would like to figure that out. and identify the sources or whatever. i realize that's more work, but to me it's important. >> commissioner hyland: a few, quick things. can we sync this -- this report is a quarterly report and then

richard rick does by monthly or is he quarterly? and then i can't remember if he's presenting to the commissioner -- >> he doesn't present to the commission. it's the cha, i think. he's presenting to the small business commission for updates. >> we have requested that report from rick, but we could probably modify our request to keep it on the quarterly schedule, if that's more appropriate. >> commissioner hyland: i believe that we've asked him to present that report, but often the report is published, i believe it was every two months, but the last time he was here, i thought he said he was shifting to quarterly. if there's a way to sync it up -- >> i will check.

>> the commission doesn't get his reports. they go to the cha. >> right. >> before are we at -- i forget now -- with the cultural heritage district legislation? was it continued? >> it hasn't been scheduled yet, but the supervisor's office asked for a little more time given the comments they had received. so i believe it's scheduled for your next hearing, first week of february. >> is there a draft? >> not a new draft. we haven't seen a revised draft since the original one introduced the end of october. >> okay. >> and, lastly -- second to lastly, are we going to calendar or agendaize our piece of the legacy business legislation so we can talk about lessons learned, how to do the --

capture the stories better? there's a whole series -- >> maybe this commission or cha. >> commissioner johns, i think, was interested in hearing and getting a dialogue. >> we could get a report from the cha, because we haven't gotten a report on how the committee is functioning. >> we can do both. >> yes. >> maybe sometime in a few months or something. maybe mid january? >> we'll check with rick and see when he's available because i believe he presented to the cha in mid november, correct? >> right. shelley caltagirone. and i wanted to report that i met with rick yesterday to go over future programs and projects outside of processing

and cautions. so now would probably be a good time to hold such a hearing and he can come and share the other work that is being done and we'll try to get that calendared in the next couple of months. >> if we wait until march, i think we'll have a good idea about the logo. >> that's true. >> commissioners, i will caution now that we're offtopic and this is not an agendaized item. >> it's cultural heritage work item. [laughter] >> all right. >> it's about whether we want the report and how we want it presented. >> all right. last thing. back on topic. the last thing is, i want to thank you and no good deed goes unpunished. when you created this beautiful thing, we asked you to add more

information to it. we'll continue to do that with this one. thank you. >> any member of the public wish to speak to this matter? seeing and hearing none, we'll close public comment. any other comments? thank you for the reports. hearing adjourned.

>> january 18th, laura thomas sitting in for bryant tan. please turnoff cell phones. thank you for sfgov tv. can we have a roll call please. >> commissioner bleiman commissioner perez vice president thomas. and we'll note president tan is

excused. >> great. the first item of business is general public comment for items not on the agenda. i have one card for general public comment from michael noltey. there's my mic. you have two minutes. >> can i have overhead? it actually says five. anyway, i wanted to point out that the guidelines for mentioning neighborhood outreach, i was at one of the hearings some time ago in regards to the black cat and i asked that the black hat do outreach to the community groups and to date, they have not. and one of the conditions of approval was coming to the neighborhood groups, the pacific

alliance for better district six. they failed to do it. i sent e-mails. i guess they figure they have been approved and got the permit, and it was just too much to think about. and i think that flies in the face of the actual guidelines that state what kind of outreach needs to be done and i think -- i'm not privy to the files that the various permits but that is one of the bottom lines on the thing and i think that, you know, it should be looked at. each person needs to do the sufficient amount of outreach to the community. i think that's the whole purpose of why we have the guidelines. for the many years that i've been coming to these meetings

have asked for the guidelines to be instituted, way back when the commission got started, the whole idea of community involvement is to make a better business, run and function better and the community to give better input so -- particularly to a new business owner such as the black hat. when they come into a neighborhood and basically do in a way, particularly a new one, there's a lot of people in the neighborhoods who don't like businesses that don't look like they're gentifying the neighborhoods. i've been involved in community organizing for many years and i appreciate seeing the guidelines and i would just hope they're not just a piece of paper but

actually followed. i'm talking to the two people on the commission -- and of course everybody else because you all have to look at the files and see that everything fits your various categories of why you're there. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is closed. move on to approval of meeting minutes. we have the minutes from december 5th and december 19th. any changes or corrections? additions to the minutes? >> i move to approve. >> both of them?

there's a motion to approve both. is there a second? >> second. >> all right, motion and second. can we have a vote? >> commissioner frost? >> sorry, which day was the party after the meeting? what was the date of that, the 19th? >> the 19th. yeah. >> it doesn't show me as being present. >> yes, it does. >> staff, sorry, thank you. i vote yes. (laughter) >> commissioner lee. >> commissioner bleiman. >> aye. >> vice president thomas. >> aye. >> item three report from the acting director. >> okay. so i'm sharing my update with a couple of staff members and i'm assuming a few commissioners

might want to jump in on this as well since they have been working on some of the items. just a minor update on the summit which is february 26th at the independent and so just wanted to update you. this is going to be three main topics that we'll be addressing. i'm focusing on one of them, which is around security planning and active shooters. i'm partnering with the police department and department of emergency management on that project and presentation and we'll have the directors from both of those departments present for the beginning of that discussion. it will be a high level panel to kick it off and then somebody from sfpd tactical unit leading that discussion around security planning for venues. and then commissioner thomas is going to be spearheading another

one of the discussions around harm reduction. there's two smaller presentations she can speak to if you want to jump in now. >> sure. about providing additional tools to the entertainment and night life industry to help protect the health of people who participate in it. so one is going to be hearing about binge drinking intervention happening in the castro, trying to sort of reset normal levels of alcohol consumption but doing it in a friendly and harm reduction way. and then the second is conversation about overdose, particularly opioid overdose and educating people in ways to address overdose, whether that happens in participants, family, staff, just general community. >> cool. i'll correct myself from earlier, i said the directors from both of the departments, one of them is the chief of

police. so not really a director. dylan will spearhead the third portion. we're not going to break up in groups, we're going to have one large group the whole time, which will be different than previous. dylan is working with burning man on this. if you want to say an a couple of words. >> sure. this is to be an inspiring panel, you know, getting event producers together and looking at sort of imaginative approaches to creating and promoting sort of outdoor social space in the city, especially with the increased population density and outdoor spaces are high commodity. some imaginative things happening and be kind of hopeful finish to our summit.

>> thank you mr. rice. so that's pretty brief. i'm hope you guys can all be there. it's a big deal to have all our commissioners present and if you're available to be there. and then just moving right along, dylan is going to share an update now on our web site changes, which we're really excited about because it will reflect all our changes within our legislation for how we permit things. >> yes, so in addition to the web site content enhancements, i was tasked with updating and stream lining our permit applications. so this rollout is on schedule to happen by february 1st. so, again, we're communicating the changes. we're trying to increase the clarity of the rules and forms you need and who does what in the office. you know, increasing the font,

faq's, things like that that will help reduce the number of calls we get and number of rework that has to happen. and in your binders you'll see just a mock up of the new menu of items and then you'll see samples from the get a permit tab and the fees and pan line tab. and i included the new fee matrix that reflects the new permits and with the help of commissioner perez, we're using part of the outdoor permitting guide to explain in a flowchart way how the approvals happen for outdoor permits. any questions, let me know. i think it's pretty self explanatory. >> i have a question. >> go ahead. >> the good neighbor policy, is

that a download or -- >> so that exists in the codes and policies page. so i didn't include all of the pages but like that page will be virtually unchanged. same thing with public notices and meetings. but there is going to be a new page that i'm going to oversee called the outdoor events page, the hub and resource for my work. >> okay. great. thank you. i just wanted to make sure it didn't get lost in the shuffle. >> commissioner perez, i make sure to always highlight that in great detail in my intake meetings. >> thank you. >> if you guys -- do you have questions about the web site or any of the changes? we're hoping it makes it more clear to applicants on how to apply. >> so what's the timeline for updates? >> the end of the month by the

latest. we're putting our ducks in a row in terms of the documents that go along with anything we're missing here. really small but we want it to go out at the same time and we need to train miss stewart over here on doing intake on her end as well. a couple of weeks. >> great. exciting. >> cool. final update then is on our good neighbor policy working group. if you guys recall, i believe it was december 5th we decided to have a small working group with inspector burke and commissioners bleiman and caminong. i'll let sean speak to that and if either commissioner wants to jump in, you can. >> good evening commissioners, acting director wiland. i'm here with a quick update. we had a quick meeting,

commissioner caminong and commissioner bleiman and i sat down and talked about the good neighbor policy and what it says and maybe what we want it to say in the future and the tone that we think it should take. i think one of the major things that we had brought up was the possibility of separating the document into more of a good operator policy and sort of a neighbor bill of rights sort of document. instead of having one document that addresses everything, we have a document that speaks specifically to what it means to be a good operator and a document to speak to what you as a neighbor of a night life establishment can expect from the entertainment commission and the operator. i don't want to get into too much detail because it's very early in the process but if you have questions or either of the

commissioners on the working group wanted to chime in, i'd be happy to allow that. >> sure. i just wanted to acknowledge that commissioner lee actually was interested in joining the work group as well, and so, we makingly emitted him from the first meeting. >> it's okay. busy, busy anyway. but i want to definitely join the group and you know, it's great to have two documents but i don't want it to be cumbersome for operators, especially club operators and i want to make sure it's a good balance. the neighborhood bill of rights is a good idea but at the same time, i don't want to -- we just need to make it a very -- >> it's a great point. >> i don't want to suddenly have another document used against the clubs. >> good point. we're planning on a meeting very late january or very early

february, sometime in that week, we'll keep you posted. >> okay. >> in the meantime, if anyone has questions about the direction or input, feel free to reach out. >> i would like to say, too, this is -- it may seem having little information that we have a solution in looking for a problem here. but there's some real serious fundamental issues with enforcement that sean is experiencing because of the current state of the good neighbor policy and he was very clear and very specific. we are actually trying to solve very specific issues with this and i think we have a good shot at this point. so -- >> thanks ben. >> thank you. >> do you guys have other questions? my only concern with the good operator policy was the acronym that would create. that's a joke.

anything else? okay. >> thank you. item four report from the inspector. >> inspector burke, good evening. i have running in the new year with our first two page hearing notes. you'll see on the back, there's quite a bit more. so i think my goal here is -- to give you a full rundown of what it looks like out there. in the description on the right side it's word for word what was put in through complaints or text messages or e-mails. this as you can see -- this is just mid november through the end of the year. next hearing i plan on having the ones that came in since the first of the year. there's only a few more but -- it's a nice big chunk. this is in addition to sort of

the ongoing investigations that are sort of constant each weekend. i'm not sure there's any need to go into anything specifically. if you have questions about the new complaints, i'm happy to address them. we do have a couple of unpermitted places that may be able to be brought into compliance. we've got bars that i visited in the past that don't have a permit with us and maybe can't get one with us. it's all over the place. we have bars, large venues, established venues, great american music hall, we don't hear a lot about them. we have sidewalk musicians in the mission popping up and we got a complaint about that. so kind of all over the map. on the back side -- on the back

side, we have three ongoing complaints, you can see a list of what's happening there as of late. he was issued one citation since the last hearing that has been paid. double dutch has not been issued a citation as of yet, they have not been found out of compliance. three inspections, one is just a place that had music one night and didn't know about the process and i informed them of the llp. hope they're going to apply. they do things infrequently. and these are sort of involved ongoing operator neighbor

communications that have just surfaced, bubbled up into my line of sight based on neighbors feeling like maybe the communication wasn't up to their liking, maybe communication sort of stalled and they reached out for me to contact the operator and get conversations going, in both cases i think that's happened and i'm trying to keep an eye on it and make sure the neighbors feel they have a voice and the operators are motivated to make progress. any questions? >> i have a question about the church services, i assume are actual church services and not a location called church services. >> correct. >> to what extent does the entertainment commission have oversight over church services? >> not much. we usually consult with the district in question and work

with them. what i am sometimes depending on the availability able to do is sort of be the eyes in the field and document what's happening so they can build a case and address the disturbance. we don't have the ability to bring them -- bring that into compliance necessarily, i try to assist. >> all right. thanks. >> just a point -- is there a way in the future of the complaints you can communicate simply next to them which ones have entertainment permits and which do not. >> i can do that. that's a good idea. >> any other questions from commissioners? >> yeah. so housian, two citations. >> yes. >> aren't they aware if they continue getting citations we

could suspend their permit or cut it back. >> i was the one to issue both of the citations because it's written within the code, if you send it from the director if there are three within three month period, the director has the authority to suspend and they're totally aware of that piece of the code. >> she knows, right? >> she knows. yep. >> commissioner frost. >> a couple of things sean, for the great american music hall, you haven't gotten complaints on them? >> not that i've been here in my memory. i tried to do records but they're kind of spotty. we don't have really a way to search in a hurry. in my experience, i think -- i don't recall one. >> have you talked to anybody in there? >> most of these complaints- -- this one

specifically was anonymous and i have yet to go by great american. >> both complaints were anonymous? okay, cool. and then double dutch. >> yes. >> i lost count because i started listening to something, a lot of complaints, all from one person? >> yes. >> have you met with that person? >> we have not met in person. we've had many a conversation trying to keep in good contact with the operator to move forward. i've been out to conduct an ambient sound test and back to take measurements inside and outside based on the limits assigned and i have yet to find them in violation. >> and it does show the last complaint was on the 7th. so that's 10 days without a complaint. that looks actually pretty good. you think maybe they did something -- >> that occurred to me while i was putting together the list.

i think it might be wishful thinking. it depends on whose perspective you're seeking i guess. yeah, i mean, on the outset maybe that's a good indicator or maybe a neighbor was out of town or -- it's hard to tell. >> thank you. >> any other questions? comments? all right. thank you inspector. the next item is number five report from our senior analyst for community and cultural events. >> dylan rice again. this will be kind of quick update, so in addition to the web site and application enhancements and rollout, that's a priority for me right now to get it done by the end of this month, i am still making progress on the outdoor planning and permitting guide and commissioner perez has been

amazing with doing a lot of that great sort of detailed work with me. it is very intense and specific and very granular in some cases. as far as feedback from different agencies, the point is to have a collaborative document that has the buy-in from all the agencies. dem and ems agency which is now separate, they have given me good comments and changes. and then from the mta, i have gotten changes from the temporary and taxi and accessible services division. we're making progress and trying to clarify the rules with drop off and pick up zones and staging areas for both taxis and transportation network vehicles like uber and lyft.

and then we are going to hear back from more mta people on thursday, people who do sustainable streets and the transit. get their feedback thursday. it may be very broad. we'll see how in depth they get. and sfdp, they're reviewing the guide and hoping to have clarity on their timeline by this week or next. so -- i definitely have to be sensitive to the different schedules of the different agencies. and in the meantime, commissioner perez and i are fine tuning the content and the design of the sections and i do now have access to adobe suite software. i'll be able to make a lot of these updates. it's going to be more efficient for me to have access.

when people change jobs, or roles, i can change the contacts page for example. and i'm excited next week, i'm heading over to austin for the municipal special events summit and that's going to be convening government workers from around the country that regulator promote or produce special events. and so i'll be the representative from san francisco and i'm sitting on a panel about policy planning and development for special events with chattanooga, nashville and austin. i'm excited to connect with peers doing this work and learn as much potential models and tools we can adopt here even like what software programs do you used to do approvals across agencies. how do you deal with population

density, things like that. and then i'm going to send out another industry bulletin, i'm going to fold it in with the announcement of the new permitting rules. so that will be a quarterly bulletin that will come out in the next month or so. that's all i have for now. just try to be full steam ahead with some of the really large projects. >> questions or comments from commissioners? thank you. item number six, police department questions and comments? do we have any? no. all right. moving forward to item seven, hearing and possible action regarding applications for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment commission. the
