report back on some data that i said i would provide at our last retreat, which is the technical assistance and advising data. i went back into my log and these are interactions, occurrences that happened, with event producers, could be by email, a phone call, one-on-one meeting. and so for the last fiscal year, which ended in june, i served 315 unique producers. and that was -- those were -- some of those were with the sf outdoor events network. some of them were in large groups some were one-on-one. if you include that, there were 145 total occurrences.

and then of the occurrences, 82% of them were related to personal outing questions. so who permits what? what is required of the permits? what are the processes? 15% of the interactions are what i call fostering the network. so i'm trying to connect with an event producer on this idea or trying to learn about best practices and i want to talk to this expert on that. and then they go -- other topics were things like marketing, fundraising -- i forget what else. those are the key data points. in may this year, i started to distinguish between entertainment permits and city-wide and i will have better data for you in the coming months for that. i will get up and do the presentation with the overhead

for the next item. >> is it on? there we go. okay. all right. so here we are. i just wanted to take a step back and say how happy i am to be standing here right now, finally talking about this initiative that's been talked about for well over a year. i'm pleased to do a presentation

on the first comprehensive citywide permitting roadmap and resource guide for outdoor events. this is the first time this has happened in the city, where you can find in one location all of the agencies, the rules, permit applications, and best practices and tips and, of course, the fees for putting on an outdoor event. and you may recall, this is -- this initiative is deliverable that was recommended by our previous evaluation report that we did with pacific bridge last year, which was addressing the challenge of low transparency of all the rules and regs. so one of the recommendations was putting together a one-stop guide and fee estimator. sf outdoor event planning and permitting guide, i wanted to

distinguish that best practices and feasibility as well as the hard rules and regs, the roadmap of that. so this just was released last -- a week ago friday, the day of the retreat, and we've had an open rate of 28% so far on the first week, so starting to get the word out there. i'm just going to do a quick overview of the contents of the guide and the permit fee estimator. so right now, we're on the landing page on the entertainment commission website and it's in the outdoor events section. and you can download the guide entirely or you can jump to the particular sections that apply to you, but if we just take a look at the table of contents, we have it divided up into four sections the first is, you know, getting

started. the general -- where to begin in the process. what agency do i need to first talk to? and then the next section is, the very granular process of applying for a permit. not just for special events like street fairs, but for parades and activity. an entire, long inventory of the permits and licenses that are in the universe of what you may need to use. and then, of course, names, emails, phone numbers of the agencies most frequently contacted. part three is a mix of operational rules and permits as well as infrastructure rules and so everything from developing the security plan to an emergency medical plan, everything from neighborhood

outreach to alcohol management and licensing. it goes into great detail. and you can find that information there. and then, finally, the appendix is really just a supportive document asianatiatio documentation. we have samples and guidelines and definition of terms, like, what is motorization mean? we have the permitting fee in there. the goal is to educate and empower event producers and events, so their events are better positions, right, to be more successful, safer, more complai complaint. and i also like to see this tool as a feasibility tool because, you know, there could be -- there could be rules or fees or deadlines that could change your mind or recallibrate plans.

i hope that people are empowered by the tool and it can cut down on the rework that may happen and also raising awareness and making people more informed so they can make more informed business decisions. i'm going to -- i'm not going to get into great detail, but i just want to thank commissioner perez for his really terrific, many, many hours of help in terms of designing the guide and being a great partner with me and i'm trying to make this as user-friendly and intuitive as we can. this is a work in progress. we're going to be updating this at least twice a year, january and july, but as rules change, and as people change, change roles, i think it's going to evolve that way and i want it to

be better and better as, you know, it becomes more iterative. i'm going to jump into my favorite part of the guide, which is the permit fee estimator. i get a lot of questions from event producers, how much is it going to cost? it's not necessarily an easy thing to answer because it really depends on what their plans are and what the timing is and so this is a step in that direction. i will open this right now. this is aggregation and a formula-based tool that tries to think of the most common permits and activities that will come across for an outdoor event. so obviously, street closure permit is common, as well as people may not be aware if you are not just paying the street

closure permit fee, but also paying for putting up the signage that says, no cars may park here during these hours, and then the enforcement behind that. so you can measure it based on number of feet and then figure out what the fees will be based on that. for property and well as rec and park participated and they gave me language and fees to start that conversation, like, what is the -- what is the fee to be considered for an event? food and bev, you can type in the number of facilities, number of days, and then it tells you the estimated permitting fees, which also includes application fees. fire safety.

this is going to be -- this is the regulated activity or the regulated substance, material, flame, petroleum, and if you are using it, you click on yes. why is it not working? there's a glitch, but -- enable editing. that's why. thank you. you will have liquid petroleum, select yes. and it adds it up at the bottom there. and then you have one vendor and

one-day event. type in those and add up the total at the bottom. so it's a step towards clarity and transparency. we're in there, too. may require permits from public works and then while it's not a formula, we do now have easilyer access to police department personnel fees on hourly rates as well as parking control officers and any sort of transit-related fees for rerouting or transit supervisors. it's very holistic. it's very comprehensive. and the goal is not to overwhelm people, but to give them, you know, the ability to toggle back and forth between the sections that apply to them and help save them the time of trying to dig

up some of the information and may have the information in their head but not published. that's my very quick presentation for the event. and i am excited and i think that's all for you today. and i want this to be an electronic document. i didn't want to print out copies for you, because of the paper idea. i want people to use it as an on-line tool that's evolving and want them to find the most up-to-date information and not have something floating around. so i think down the road it will be great if it's html-based, like a customizable tool. but this is laying the foundation for that moving

forward. thank you. >> this is a huge accomplishment, so i want to give you silent applause. i know how much effort it takes to coordinate multiple departments with streams of information. so i hope it picks up. i'm curious -- have you gotten feedback from any event producers that have looked at it and tried to use the calculator or any parts of it? >> yeah. a lot of people are zeroing in on the calculator piece of it. it's purely anecdotal, but people i have talked to are excited to have it. one thing i didn't mention is that i will be doing a survey six months from now to gauge how

user-friendly and is it being used a lot or what's the feedback? i'm also going to be asking our collaborating department for feedback. >> one area or sector and make sure that it gets in the hands of them. if you can work with the supervisors' office to get them out because they don't think to turn to our commission or even the city when it comes to event production. so i think it could be a happyful guide for them. if you can get them into their hands, that would will be great. >> i did share this with supervisor ronen's office and

shared it with oewd and she promised she would send it out to people. yeah, think there's -- it could be that kind of work that's always needed. >> great. kudos to you and thank you for your leadership on this. >> thank you. i want to take the opportunity to take this initiative for getting this done. it's a much-needed tool. being a community organizer myself, it took me years to figure out how to navigate through the permit process, organizing outdoor events. it was frustrating and overwhelming at times. this tool will benefit both parties, so event organizers will have more information and figure out which departments to

go to and what is the cost. they will also benefit with organizing being more educated and being more prepared when they get their permits. and i think it will streamline the process both ways. congratulations to you. >> thank you, commissioner. >> i want to echo that this is a huge accomplishment. clawingses. want to congratulate you with the great reception that it received when i posted it on facebook. the sign of a healthy city is an indicator of a healthy city and culture to have a lot of outdoor activities and events and as someone that planned them myself, it felt like you needed a degree in quantum physics. this is a step in the right

direction. and then, there's two things that came to my mind. to reiterate, a lot of the city agencies probably get questions about outdoor events and this is a great focal point for everybody to refer to. you will probably see this goes up and up. i also think that people will use this calculator to gauge which festival it may be feasible and what may not be. i hope that some other city agencies see this as a shining beacon of hope for what they could accomplish in their own agencies. it will be helpful to have this in other agencies and cities. thank you very much. >> wow.

thank you very much. >> commissioner bleiman: any public comment on our senior analyst's report? seeing none, public comment is closed. the next agenda item is number 6, police department comments and questions. any members of the police force here to comment? we're not seeing any, so we'll move along to the next agenda item. next agenda item is number 7, hearing and possible action regarding the application for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment consent calendar. i will ask director to walk us through consent. >> thank you, president bleiman. on the consent agenda, we have two permit applications for limited live performance permits. one for mystic room & tavern, 417 stockton street, next to the

stockton tunnel there. and this previously had a per t permit. it's inside of a hotel. we received support letters. we also have speakeasy ales & lagers. i think their closest neighbor is over 250 feet away from them. bayview station also signed off. let me know if you have any questions. i do see there are representatives from both in the audience if we need to bring any

of them up. >> commissioner bleiman: are there public comments on either agenda item? seeing none, public comment is closed >> i would like to make a motion to approve the consent calendar. >> i second. >> clerk: [roll call vote] we have a quorum. >> commissioner bleiman: so moved. congratulations, your permit applications have been granted. please follow up for next steps. to the regular agenda. i will again ask the director to take us through each item. >> okay. we're beginning this evening with golden state warriors event

center. this is an amendment. i want to apologize to everyone up front, i will be talking for 3 minutes to get everything on record, because it's a major permit. so i wanted to just give you some background on this permit. on november 10, 2015, enter townment commission granted conditional approval for permit for golden state warriors event center. and on december 9, 2015, the san francisco board of appeals upheld the conditional permit. on july 17 this year, gsw arena llc submitted an application for an amendment for this permit. gsw premises encompass blocks 29-32 in mission bay south and includes an event center, which we'll call gsw event center. it will host approximately 60 basketball games a year and 160 nonbasketball events a year. it also includes a plaza located

between the event center and get a -- gate house office building and 3rd street plaza. it will host other events and serve as a gathering space as well as a video board to be facing the third street plaza. the purpose of this amendment is to coordinate outside sound and which programming may or may not be in conjunction with the event occurring inside the event center at the same time. for this amendment application, as you will find in your materials, the conditional permit holder proposes to use the outdoor space for special and nonspecial events as they are defining them. gsw proposed to use the outdoor space for no more than 15 special events, meaning events in 3rd street plaza or gsw

premise included, but not limited to movie nights. gsw anticipates that the premises will have amplified sound throughout the year. this includes sound accompanying display of messages, music, video, related to upcoming events on the video board, as well as public address with background music or programmed events such as harvest festival and public announcements. moving on, they have submitted a noise control plan and this is for separating between what they call special and nonspecial events. this is located as the new exhibit d in your files, if you want it read along with me. i will go through it right now. they proposed for all special

events, amplify levels will not be above 200 ambient and offsite nearest sensitive receptor. the time for the levels for 14 of the 15 events shall require sound to end at 11:00 p.m. for one of the 15 events, for sound to end at 1:00 a.m. generally it will be established such that noise limits will be no more than 8 decibels using l-90 calculation the noise limits for nonspecial events will be no more than zero decibels in the amendmant as not audible. the times for the amplification levels will be from 7:00 a.m. to

the later of 10:00 p.m. or 45 minutes after the conclusion of a warriors' home game. on july 17, commission staff sent the amendment to the police department along with the request for the documentation. in 2015, they did not have a recommendation, so they participated this time and recommended 1-8. in your files, it's incorporated in the draft resolution at the front of your packets and they've been seen and agreed to by the permit holder. to speak about the outreach that the warriors have done, they've been in the course of planning and approval process, dating prior to 2015. the official permit holder has held or participated in 50

meetings with members of the public and various stake holders with the event center and mixed-use development. a summary of public outreach was included. as you can see, the warriors did further outreach for this. there are several letters of support in the file from surrounding neighbors and associations and i wanted to call out a letter from ucsf, as they are a close, sensitive receptor, though i will say, they are over 300 feet from the property. the warriors looked closely with ucsf recording their proposal for outdoor amplified sound to mitigate concerns from ucsf and revised their noise control plan per ucsf comments. so as stated in the letter, ucsf is not opposed to this application, which we are very

happy about. so at our hearing tonight, the entertainment commission needs to consider adopting a resolution here. it's been laid out for you at the beginning of the package and this is reaffirming, one, adopting environmental findings under ceqa. and, two, granting a permit to gsw arena llc for the golden state warriors event center at mission bay south, blocks 29-32. so, i'm finally done, and i will introduce chief operating officer, stephen collins. he's representing the project tonight and can discuss the amendment in further detail.

>> good evening, commissioners, director bleiman. i'm the chief operating officer for gsw arena llc. by way of background, i started with the warriors in may, 2015, and prior to that, spent 13 years at madison square garden overseeing a variety of venues for madison square garden, including the l.a. forum, chicago theater, beacon theater, and radio city music hall.

and another 10 or 12 years of similar experience before that, but i won't bore with you play resume. as we start off tonight, i want to make sure that we're thanking maggie, who has been fantastic in her office and the homeowners, residents, association, local businesses, ucsf and southern station, which we'll get to later in the presentation, but a fantastic support from those groups and i think very supportive of the project or the amendment. as maggie mentioned, in 2015, i was before the entertainment commission and they granted conditional approval for entertainment. and at that time, we provided a

security plan, noise control plan and adopt of a good neighbor policy. ocii approved our signage program, which includes a video board on the plaza. in july, 2018, gsw submitted the application for the committing p.o.e. permit for amplified sound. as maggie mentioned, that amendment is broken down into two categories -- nonspecial events and special events, which i will take you through and we'll also walk through the noise-control plan for our amplified sound. up on the screen now, to orient everyone, and maybe i can't move the cursor. it's hard to see.

the plaza is on the east side here. you see the two. will have to help me go backwards, maggie. on the left side of the screen, you see the structure. and then you have the plaza with the two green spaces and as maggie mentioned, that plaza is at our front door. and an area we would like to activate for special events. we're calling normal day nonspecial events. hours of operations would be

starting at 9:00 a.m. and end at 10:00 p.m. or 45 minutes after a g.s.w. home game and sound at 8 d.b.a., 250 feet from the property line. it would be events that would be general walk in or walk out announcements. smaller entertainment elements on the plaza, music, small deejay, television broadcast, amplified sound. the day-to-day operation of the venue. we're asking for 15 in a calendar year for special

events. it would start at 7:00 a.m., and end at 11:00 p.m., with one event at 1:00 a.m. that would be 8 d.b. and d.b.a. and d.b.c., 250 feet from the property line and at the offsite residen residence. the main noise control measures, we've committed to a hotline to address complaints. that's 24/7/365. manned location. so it will be accessible, provided for monthly stake holders. and providing outreach as soon as possible. we know that the event will take

place. calibrating volume settings 24 hours prior to the period in which we'll use the amplified sound and make sure that we're complying with our proposed limits, particularly measuring the sounds, adjusting the sound immediately, if needed. on the nonspecial events, the first 12 months that we'll commit to measuring the sound to make sure that we are in compliance and restart a six-month period if demonstrated any exceedances. we'll review data for three years, noise and daddy -- data complaints as well. public outreach, we've had numerous conversation with ucsf, the hospital, also

representatives from mission bay c.a.c., life science roundtable, south beach rincon, dog porch, potrero, as well as homeowners of madrone and homeowners association and residents at 330 mission bay boulevard north and 325 china basin street. so that is our presentation. we're very excited to be here tonight, being less than a year out. and i'm happy to take any questions, if anybody should have any.

>> commissioner bleiman: i'm sure nobody can compete against the lawyers and the team, i'm sure, for sound mitigation. i'm curious, when you sent out the notice of the phone number. will it be on your website? i -- how are you planning to get the message out for people in neighborhoods may be able to find this phone number and where does it go to? >> absolutely. great question. there will be numerous ways that they can get the phone number. right now, we are publishing for the stake holders, a newsletter. we' we'll continue to do that outreach. we have our own website. it will be on the website. we have an app that's being

developed that will contain a lot of information, basically the same as the website. and they will be able to get to the phone number there. as i mentioned earlier in the presentation, we'll be sending out notifications and the notifications will be accompanied by the phone number as well. as far as where the phone number -- who picks up the phone, as an arena with the schedule that way expect to have, we have a security command center. that security command center is manned 24/7/365. we call it a unified command center. we have the police department, sfmta, our staff, and other stake holders. and there's an event manager assigned to each one of these

events. >> are you planning to do all these 15 events. are the warriors planning to rent out the venue for any usage. it's ancillary to what it taking inside. also we don't think we can accomplish staying in at the property line. we could have some musical activation on the plaza. we expect things like holiday celebrations, pumpkin patch, outdoor ice skating, 3 on 3

basketball. those type of events. the arena is being controlled by the golden state warriors. we're not outsourcing any operations there. so we will -- we will have people represented, whether we rent it out or not. >> if you do rent it out, it will be contract or letter of intent, and be fully aware of the obligation to us or the city on the permits, so at least that the renter would know what constraints to work under. [please stand by]

>> that's kind of walk in and walk out the announcements, like, prepare to go through the magnetometer, and empty your pockets. there might be some sound associated with the activation and the retail that surrounds it. >> obviously, it's a new thing and you want to have a limited impact, but if you're talking about zero dbs 250 feet from

your property line and it doesn't affect any other buildings, is there a reason you want to limit it to 15? >> we thought 15 was a reasonable number given the sensitivities around ucsf, the hospital being there, the residence being there. we -- i think in many cases, we're kind of on the line with some of the things that would -- would happen out there, and we want to make sure that the 8 db at the property line that we're not violating that for a d.j. or a movie night, so we'll be feeling our way through this in terms of, obviously, you know, we're going to aside by everything here, and there may be occasions where we would have to go back to the entertainment commission -- come back to you guys if we exceeded the 15, but we're fairly comfortable that in terms of asking for 8 db off the property line, that the 15

covers us. >> great. >> they would also have the option to apply for one, and we would be available for outreach. >> that would be great. i think in your inaugural year, you'll figure out the kinks. are you planning to have private events or are they clustered in the summertime or any particular season? >> i wouldn't say season. i think it's year-round. movie night could be something that's happening year-round. i don't think there's one particular time of the year where we're focusing and saying hey, these 15 events will take place between month x and y, we're looking over the time. we'll figure out what works and what doesn't work, stay out of the rainy season, but there's

no specific time that i can point to and say, you know, this is going to take place during this three-month period or four-month period. >> i think when you get rolling, do you expect to have your calendar set like, by, a certain buffer amount of time? you know, like, six months ahead of time or -- >> yeah. i would say we'll have the basketball calendar. to the extent that we've locked something in and we know about it, we're going to push that information out. i would say if we start getting into a window where we know that we're going to have an open period, and there's no possibility for concert, then, we might try to activate the plaza a little bit more, but i

think we'll know in advance and try to get the word out i think months usually in advance. >> okay. obviously, the more notice is the better, and i don't want to condition you here in your permit to say you have to give at least x number of weeks of notice, but please do, i think especially in your inaugural year, you want to have people know what to expect and when. outdoor sound is the most difficult to manage. even if you are meeting the actual code, people still get disturbed and some people don't generally want to be around during those times, so the more headway you can give, the better. but yeah, i'm excited to see this all happen, and like seeing just passing by every now and then on third street, seeing what comes up week after week, so -- >> put it on your facebook page. >> thank you. >> we're very excited, yeah. >> hello, thanks for coming in.

i just have a point of clarification with the staff with the 15-day special events. so if there is a weekend festival, that counts as one event, correct? so the 15 special events is not counted 15 days? >> i believe -- i believe so. >> okay. just want to make sure of that. say there's a three-day conference or something going on, so that's one event, even though it's three days? >> i believe so. >> okay. thank you. that's all. >> thank you. >> just wanted to say i appreciate the level of outreach. obviously, i know this has been in the works for a long time, but it's nice to see ucsf sign off on this as well as the potrero boosters as well as the different neighborhood groups, so that's nice to see in an application like this, so thank you for making all of that work

happen and getting letters in from them. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i'd like to give a shout out to yoyo chan and peter brian who did a lot of the heavy lifting on the outreach and did a phenomenal job on our staff. >> great. i just have a couple -- well, thank you for coming in, as well. i'm very excited about the possibility of this place being fully active and a part of the city. i'm just curious, on both of them, you're asking for amped music at 7:00 a.m. is there a plan to have something at 7:00 a.m.? >> i think we're looking to activate the plaza at 7:00 in the morning. yoga, children's classes. could be a children's event. i think for us it's just looking to make sure -- it's all about activating that plaza. a lot of it is community based

and making sure that if we can orchestraight something that early in the day -- orchestrate something that early in the day. the plaza's about 20,000 square feet. depending on what type of event you're putting out there. if you had something out there where you really had a decent amount of people in the 1500 to 2,000 range, you know, if you were doing a movie, the view angle and tboard's less, you'r going to have a lot of people out there, so that would be the high mark. >> got it. in that plaza, are there also going to be restaurants with liquor licenses located along

that plaza. >> so the towers flanking the plaza have retail on the first floor, yeah. >> and it'll be leased to operators, i imagine. >> yeah. >> do they also have the opportunity to apply for liquor permits on the outside -- process question. >> i believe so. although -- we might need to revisit this with your city attorney because i think this covers g.s.w. premises which could encompass the entire footprint. >> got it. it's an interesting procedural question, but yeah. >> yeah, and we can have that discussion. i think for us, we're looking not to have competing outside door amplified sound. >> or just for indoor, for those -- >> i was just wondering for indoor. >> yeah, indoor, absolutely. >> got it. >> yeah, one more. >> on the sound, on the speaker placement, so obviously, with the screen facing the east, speaker's going that way, when

you guys do the test, and i guess brian can help me with this, but there's going to be some kind of reverbing going on, hitting the building, going back, is that all going to be kind of addressed when you do your measurements? >> yeah. we've worked pretty extensively with our accusestition. i think we'll work with them to learn the best way for the speaker put to learn the reverb or going over the db at the property line. we modelled the speakers in a number of locations. we've modelled the output of those speakers at the a number of locations, but at the end of the day, we're controlling it, so the speaker placement is on us, and the output level is on us, so i think that gives us the flexibility to move those speakers around and take

advantage of the fact that we've got a gatehouse there in the middle that's kind of closing the plaza in. and to the extent possible, get the speakers facing away from third street and into the plaza. >> right. okay. >> all right. i don't see anymore commissioner questions. so you can return to your seat. thank you very much for the presentation. >> thank you. >> i'm going to open it up to public comment here. i do have one speaker card from a bruce agin, and you will have two minutes. thank you. >> okay. great. good afternoon, president bleiman, commissioners. my name is bruce agin. i'm a president of the south mission bay neighborhood association, and although our association has already submitted a letter of support, i also wanted to speak today on behalf of myself as a nine year resident of mission bay and a community leader who has

closely worked with representatives of the warriors on a variety of quality of life and transportation issues related to the chase center. i'd like to announce my support for this. the warriors shared with me and my colleagues their proposal as well as the noise control plan. this provided us with the opportunity to ask a variety of questions and express potential concerns. as always, the warriors representatives took the time to explain the study and their stakeholder outreach in detail. they also documented any concerns or questions presented. in many cases, the warriors had already identified the concern and met with the appropriate people. i believe this balances the needs of the neighborhood from a quality of life perspective and the much desired neighborhood planning that will

benefit our neighborhoods including mission-dogpatch and the greater community. as we're all aware, studies are studies, and we've seen the warriors commission a thorough analysis and noise control plan. request that said, there is live testing -- until there is live testing and a few outdoor events, we won't know the actual impact. they have demonstrated time after time they will address neighbors' concerns, and in several cases associated with noise from construction of the arena, the time that neighbor's concerns were brought to our attention, they had already been in contact with the neighbor and in most cases already had been successfully resolved. demonstrates good planning, connection to the -- >> your time is up. thank you. >> great. thank you for the support. >> all right. is there any additional public comment on this agenda item?

>> hello, commissioners. i'm a lifelong san francisco resident. i still -- oh, this one? i'm a live long san francisco resident, and this is a world class -- >> what's your name? >> doug allen. i live in the richmond. we've got a world championship baseball team, we've got a world championship basketball coming. i would just love to see an entertainment venue in san francisco -- this is a bucket list destination. people come here for their honeymoons, when they retire or just to celebrate. why not make it complete and give the warriors and san francisco a world class venue for entertainment. that's what i've got to say. thank you. >> thank you very much. additional public comment?

>> just to be brief, my name's stephen castellano. if they manage their operations the same way they manage their operations on the court, off the court, it's a championship plan, so go dubs and happy that space is going to be activated, and it's monitored, and it's going to be fine. thank you. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment? >> i just wanted to say that the warriors would be great for this city. >> can you state your name, please? >> my name's antonio. i've watched the entertainment industry essentially really need to branch out outside of l.a. san francisco is the beginning of the motion picture industry in the early 1900's. a lot of people don't discuss

that. you know, the weather is what was credited to driving a lot of those businesses to los angeles, but at this time, this business is branching back out, and with silicon valley booming the way it has for so long, this is something that residents moving here are going to require. i really hope that can be done for this community. thank you. >> thank you very much. any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> umm...i'm happy to make a motion. like to move to approve the golden state warriors event centers amendment to their conventional use permit with the lease conditions embedded in that resolution. >> yeah. what you really should be doing is making a motion to adopt and
