everyone, especially the arts, it's phenomenal how new century has grown where many unfortunate organizations have stopped. during this period we got ourselves on national radio presence; we started touring, releasing cds, a dvd. we continue to tour. reputation grows and grows and grows and it has never stopped going forward. msk(music) >> the bay area knows the orchestra. you maybe take things for granted a little bit. that is simply not the case will go on the road. the audiences go crazy. they don't see vitality like this on stage. we are capable of conveying joy when we play.

msk(music) >> any performance that we do, that a program, that will be something on the program that you haven't heard before. string orchestra repertoire is pretty small. i used to be boxed into small repertoire. i kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. if you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. is our gift. msk(music) >>

and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. the most challenging of all. string orchestra work. 23 solo instrument, no violin section, now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. the challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off. i can't tell you how aware i am of the audience. not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. i have been doing this for a long time. i kind of make them feel what i want them to feel.

there is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note. and that is our encore on tour. by the way. i am proud to play it, we are from san francisco. we are going to play that piece no matter where we are. >> good morning. good morning, everyone. i'm timothy fu, chair of the board of trustees for the san francisco skefconservatory of m.

on behalf of the board, thank you all to be here for the breaking ground on the ute and william k. duboce center for being pyrri performing arts. when i joined the board many years ago, we knew the conservatory belonged with the many arts at the civic center, and we knew we must providing housing for our students. so we succeeded in moving to the civic center in 2006, and now, we're breaking ground for the

new student residence hall. so today, i'm incredibly proud of how all of us have come together to make the future possible. and i want to express my deepest thanks to the supporters of this project whose inspiring leadership and generosity have set us up for a successful second century of leading music education through innovation through a history of excellence, achievement, culture and collaboration. now i have the pleasure and the honor to introduce our mayor, the mayor of san francisco, london breed. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you, everyone. what a beautiful day to break ground on hundreds of units of

housing for student artists. one the things i love to do as mayor. some of you know i used to serve as director of an organization, the african american arts and culture complex. it's not far from here, but we had incredible relationships with the arts community here where you have the symphony, the opera, sf jazz. this place has become a hub for artists everywhere, and now that the san francisco conservatory of music has decided to take it even a step further to decide to come up with this innovative plan to come up with 420 units of housing for their students, it's absolutely amazing, and we should all be proud of what this project would do for housing in the city and county of san francisco. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you also equally important, the 27 residents who were once

housed here were not only housed very close to this particular development as it's under construction at the same rent they were paying, they will also be moved back into this building when it's built at the same rents that they had been paying through their rent control. and here's the thing: 27 people are not being displaced as a result of this project. we are adding more units, we're not displacing anyone, and the reason this is so great for the environment, it is within walking distance of the san francisco conservatory of music. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: i can't be more proud. we have to do more to build more housing in san francisco. we have to think about the fact that this is an innovative place. people want to live here, they want to work here, they want to grow here, they want to thrive here, but what makes san francisco incredibly -- a great

place for all of us, it's the arts, it's the music, it's the entertainment. it's all of the things that people come here to enjoy, and how are we going to continue to grow if we don't have opportunities that exist for them? if we don't provide housing that they can afford? if we don't open the doors of our opportunities to our artists who we know are constantly being displaced? it's a great day for san francisco, it's a great day for the arts community, and i am so looking forward to all the work we're going to continue to do to revitalize the civic center area. yesterday, i looked out the window from my offices at city hall, i saw children playing in the park, i saw people standing in line at the birite we just opened two days ago, i saw people doing zumba, i saw people

talking to people on the street, just hanging out. it's amazing, when you're taking care of everyone, including the community, every can enjoy. this is a project that's going to benefit this area and hopefully grow and thrive and provide places like this that provide housing like this for each and every one of us. thank you all so much for being here today. [applause] >> thank you, mayor. thank you so much for your support and your commitment to the arts. we really are very honored to have you take time from your busy schedule today to be with us. and now, i have the pleasure of introducing the person who has designed this building,

marvelous facility for all of us, but the best design architect in the city of san francisco, mark cavanero. >> thank you. we've been working on this for years, to see a building coming out of the ground is every architect's dream. we talked about innovatition as we talked about this project, and i think that word is really singular for this building, and the vision that tim and dave and the board have, in that we're not just building a building, but a whole organism for arts and music. the students will be living here, performing here, and it will offer a whole snapshot into arthur world when you're walking

or driving up vanness or hayes. it's not just about education, it's about a whole san francisco community coming together in one new building. and for an architect, it can't get much more exciting. so thank you for all of this, and thank you for letting me be a part of this, dave, tim, and the board. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. i can't wait to see this coming up. now i have the pleasure to introduce my good friend and coconspirator, president of the music conservatory, david stow. >> believe we're standing here, no really. i've worked on some projects, if

you want to try and reach beyond your grasp, this project is really that. it's only because of some people that are sitting here and some people that are not here today. mayor breed and supervisor kim, i can't say enough about these two individuals. nothing goes through city hall this fast, at least in my experience. the reason this happened is there were great advocates in the city. people saw the benefit of it for the community, and it happened at an extraordinary rate. but before i talk to the building, i want to talk about some people that made this happen. some of you who may not recognize that this made this happen, jessica downs. you're out there somewhere. can you raise your hand? honey, thank you. the amount of time that this

requires requires help from somebody who is your friend and believes in it with you, and jessica did that. i is also want to say we have a top team of anybody in san francisco. as i represent the conservatory, i can't tell you how famous our team is. the development crew, the senior staff, our c.f.o., katie, kathrin -- everyone here from the sfcm staff, raise your hands. ladies and gentlemen, this is a great group, and we would not have gotten it done without them. this started in a couple of interesting ways. mark cavanero accepted my invitation for a cup of coffee. we had no project, no site, nothing. mark started sketching on his own what it would look like, a facility like this. mark brought his team, a great

crew at cavan 0ed ro. this team worked tirelessly. this project is a residence unit for students. it is two spectacular performance halls, a recording studio, teaching space, a restaurant, yes, sitting right here. if you can imagine the architectural constlants like doing sweeping glass on the west and north walls that also create a beautiful acoustical space. but the reality is 90% of the concerts in those spaces are free to the public. this is a great way to bring music in, and in that building, 99% of the students are on financial aid, and the 27 units are rent stablized, and every dollar it generates goes back to support scholarships for future

students. [applause] >> these guys did an extraordinary job. i can't say enough about how many hurdles they across for us. our law firm did amazing work. there was so many folks working at the city level who also provided this great work. and the fact is it was the team that made it happen, and i said to our c.f.o. this morning that at every point in this project, there was somebody on the team that made an extraordinary event happen. otherwise, the entire thing would have stopped. that's how much this was a combined project. but ladies and gentlemen, we don't do projects like this without people who actually believe and put substantial resources behind them. and i can't tell you how fortunate we are in san francisco because when you look

to davies hall, the opera, the conservatory, sf jazz, to the museums, to the incredible cultural life that we enjoy here, it is because actually not as many as you think, but actually, a very small handful of people for generations have made those things happen for this city and are making this building happen right now. not here are richard blum and senator feinstein, and others, all whom made substantial financial events. can we give them a round of applause, please, for their leadership on that. [applause] >> the next phase of this, the architect, we have lots of fund raising, as you can imagine. financing makes it all happen, and this was a tricky project to finance. hey, we're this conservatory of 400 students, and we want to build this $90 million building

on vanness. think about this. this happened because jim herbert decided it would happen. jim, on behalf of myself, thank you to you and all of your team. it's 3.9 prs fixed over 30 years because jim thought it was important to put up this building. jim and cecelia, i just want to thank you for that. it was incredible. early folks who were in, carol and lyman casey. carol's family has been supporting the art ms. this city in so many ways with affection and tremendous investment. carol was one of the first people who walked in my office and we were talking about this, and she said this needs to happen, and she continued the investment and continued the investment. carol i want to thank you for

all that you've done for us. thank you so much. [applause] >> along the way, every project has a patron saint, actually, and the fact is i will talk about this a bit more today, but we lost bill bose early on, and when that happens, that laefshs kind of a vacuum in leadership. barney osher stepped in and made this thing happen. he not onlily invested in this, but i can't tell you what it meant to this being accomplished. and so this brings us down to the finish line. we were in raping of getting this done. jim was prepared to give us a loan, but frankly we were short and we needed a gift and a bridge that was crossed, and a colleague and a friend of mine

who was a wonderful composer, but i have to tell you, you see his name because of the enormous amount of giving done, and that was gordon getty, and gordon stepped in and absolutely made this project get across the finish line, and that was how we got there, and gordon, i can't thank you enough. but i want to say that none of this, none of this would have han if it weren't for bill. -- happen if it weren't for bill. bill bose, even before there was a property, even before there was a design, it was me and bell at the union club with bill saying, we need this. he was quiet, and he said, you know, that sounds like a good

idea. bill believed in the necessity of housing for students from the moment the civic center project was arrived at on oak street. he has given so generously to so many projects: students, environment, the arts, education. he has advanced so many companies and career throughout his lifetime. and he really resisted anything being named for him. and the fact is, the fact that this building will be named for william k.bose and ute bows will be wonderful, because it'll have a great soul. and perhaps one of the things that this led me to do was to get to know ute, and i will talk about that at lunch today. but the people we find in this city in this kind of work aren't to be found in many places in this world.

they just aren't. that brings me to the final folks i want to thank. we wouldn't have gotten here and i wouldn't have gotten here if it weren't for our board chair, tim folk, and his amazing wife, virginia. virginia, thank you for being here, by the way. i want all of all board members, can you raise your hands for a second -- we have multiple seven figure donors that -- out in the audience. i've never seen a board this cohesive, this supportive that made it a pleasure. it's a dream come true for this conservatory, but i think it's a dream come true for all of us. i can't say more than thank you, but i wish that i could because the gratitude runs down to my

very bones. it's a privilege to be standing here with you all because it makes me a better person. i can tell you we've crossed over, 109 million for this project, but there's still time to investment any of you that are inspired to be involved, let me know. so let's fine will he get to the reason we're doing this. students, can you raise your hands out there. we're going to give you a round of applause. [applause] >> if there's ever a moment where you're wondering if we can get it done, if you stand for a moment in our building with our students, you wonder how you can get it done. they're amazing young students, and they will go out and change the world, and they have changed the world for over 100 years. the fact that we can put a roof over their head that's affordable is amazing.

as i said, 99% are on financial aid. it's my pleasure to introduce the chair of our student council. she is a master's student of voice, mia skolnick. >> good morning, everyone. my name is mia skolnick, and i am a second year master's student in voice here at the conservatory. sf conservatory is a special place, and i am so proud to be here. i applied to several conservatories around the country, but i chose to come here because of its diversity, values, and the feeling i got when i came here. there was a welcoming atmosphere at the conservatory that let me

know right away i was at home. two years ago i was living in portland, oregon, where i grew up, working a regular office job, singing on the side. i had gotten my undergraduate degree in music had you had drifted away from my passion. one day, i had a realization that life is too short not to do what makes you happy, and that was what led me to san francisco and to the conservatory. sfcm is providing me with skills and tools to become a professional musician out in the world. the caliber of excellence we have here at sfcm is simply unmatched, and i wouldn't be getting this kind of education anywhere else. the bose center will expand our dynamic community as our campus more than doubles in size

providing even more state of the art opportunities and resources for students. the bose center will mean so many wonderful things for our future, its proximity to the incredible arts partners in the civic center area, beautiful new spaces for collaboration among students, if a kilt, and visiting artists, and most importantly, it means that sfcm can reach and inspire even more musicians of the future. on behalf of all my fellow students, thank you so everyone who has made this project possible, and now, let's break

ground. [applause]

>> a hello and welcome to the tuesday, november 6, commission meeting of the san francisco entertainment commission, election day. i'm ben bleiman, the commission president. if you are a member of the public and want to speak, there are forms that you can fill out located on the front tables. you can hand to the staff or just come to the microphone when

i call for public comment. we ask that you turn off the cell phone including commissioners and staff, please. thank you o sfgov tv and for sharing this meeting with the public. >> a commissioner perez is absent, but i am expecting him. commissioner thomas? >> here. >> commissioner caminong? >> here. >> vice chair camment ka, caminong? >> here, too. >> commissioner bleiman? >> a here. >> commissioner lee? >> here. >> a commissioner tan? >> here. >> normally the first order of business is comment, but because we have no members of the public that i can see who want to speak at this exact moment, i was hoping maybe we could flip items number one and item number 7 which is the discussion led by

the san francisco commission street captain. i think that would be respecting the captain's time and letting them go first. we will need a motion to do that. >> so moved. >> second. >> commissioner thomas? >> aye. >> vice chair caminong? >> aye. >> chair bleiman? >> aye. >> commissioner falzon. >> aye. >> commissioner lee? >> aye. >> commissioner tan? >> aye. >> do i need to take public comment on that motion? >> it is just an agenda item. >> i think we're all right. so we're taking item 7 out of order here as the first item. >> yes. >> so this item is a discussion led by san francisco police department mission station captain calfagirone and lieutenant canning so gentlemen, if you want to come up to the podium and give your presentation, we would be very interested to hear more about that. >> good evening, everyone.

i'm captain calfiagrione and i have lieutenant christopher canning in charge of the investigation unit at mission station. and just a simple thing that i am try to think outside the box of what happens in the mission district, and i would kind of like this to roll over to all the other districts eventually, but there is a lot of incidents that occur in the mission with the bars and restaurants that sometimes patrons who go in there, when they leave, they might stumble and get robbed by an individual or they -- or something might happen inside the car that a sexual assault might occur and everything. so i wanted to create a team work to work together with the restaurant and bar owners just so we have an open means of communication and meet with each other to just educate everyone on being safe out in the public,

especially when the night falls. when it comes to the 1:30 in the morning, 1:45 and the bars are closing at 2:00, that is when it kind of gets dangerous for people because the individuals who were at the bars or the restaurants who are leaving now still might be intoxicated and might need further assistance. so it's more of come together as a team, working with the bar owners and the employees, working with the bouncers. and also educating the community on how to be safer when you are going out and enjoys san francisco. lieutenant canning, anything else that you would like to add on that? >> very briefly, thank you for your time, mr. president, vice president, and members of the commission. what we are attempting to do is, as the captain said, is start a dialogue where at mission station where we could meet with at regular intervals owners of

these night entertainment establishments. as opposed to what i think most of them view the police department as is an as enforcement heavy organization. what we would like to do is meet regularly to form an and establish relationship, open up a line of communication so we are able to help them understand trends that they may want to educate their patrons and their staff about. and as the captain said in terms of numbers, over the last three months or so, and there is no way really to parse the data to get very specific number, but between the hours of midnight and 4:00 in the mission police district, for the past three months there's been approximately 79 aggravated assaults, robberies, thefts from persons. a majority of these victims are either employees of these establishments walking home with tip money. they are patrons who are trying to find their car and may not be

familiar with the area. and in terms of the police department investigating these cases, we find that the resource of these night life establishment owners and employees and managers would be very useful for us to help identify specific suspects, and likewise, if we are finding that there are, for instance, a targeted victim, demographic, region, or area, we would like to have the means to share that with the restaurant and bar night life owners and management teams. so our vision is to hopefully kree a regular interval, monthly, bimonthly, meetings with whoever in the mission police district night life management team would like to host meetings at their establishment, or they can come to the district station. we would like to meet them and

to get to know them and open up the lines of communication. more important, and we believe and this is anecdotal evidence at best, but outside of particular blocks, that these various establishments may share with each other, they probably don't know their co-management teams or other organizations or the night life establishments in the district. we find that the troublemakers, for lack of a better word, will more than likely go from place to place, location to location, which may be outside of the block, that particular management team or night life establishments are used to communicating with. so we're just trying to form a network of people who would be able to identify problems. we could pass on information and sort of bridge a gap that i think currently exists, but i think it would be very helpful

and beneficial to the police department, to the establishments, to the commission as well, and of course, to the good citizens that come and patronize the establishments. >> thank you. we already have created some flyers that can be posted on the windows. we started one in the castro district already that some flyers are there prior to my being the captain at mission station. and we kind of created a general flyer that the business owners could have in their business to just reminder. so it's just more of a working together instead of working against each other. >> any comments? >> so, you know, this is good because years ago when chief redman was a captain and before it was charlie oaks is they formed soma club owners and we all got together from 11th street, from 3rd, and from city nights and our club before and

we all got together and had monthly meetings. and we were able to communicate and find out what everybody's problems were. we were encouraging the other districts to do that. and i really am glad that the mission is doing it. and i think you could start off, first by contacting the owners of acapulco, and they have been promoters for a long time. or even rick howard who owns bruno's and they have been operators for a long time and start with them and they will reach out to everybody. they will get your core group together, and everybody will come. you will be surprised how much information you will get. and usually the e.c. will show up. and we get to listen to all the problems and then the captain usually finds out where the hot spots are and then you can focus on that. i am glad you guys are taking an effort on doing this. >> thank you for the input. >> and i live in the mission

district. and let me know if there is anything i can do to be helpful in bringing information back to the entertainment commission or coming to the meetings as an entertainment commissioner and frequenter of entertainment establishments in the mission as well as mission resident. i am excited to hear about this. it is a great initiative. thank you. >> thank you. >> captain, good evening. >> good evening. >> and this is exactly where the city wants to take this and where the commission is working collaboratively and with the police department and in the past many years ago and bringing this in early and hopefully you will be able to tap the resources from the commission. i know our executive director has some real talented staff that are actually doing some similar work. and there might be an opportunity to partner there and move forward. but again, thank you so much for

coming tonight. we really appreciate it. it means a lot to have the police department present. >> l we, thank you. the city means a lot to the both of us. both of us born and raised here in the city, still live in the city, so the city is really a big part of our lives. we're committed to trying to make the city a better place for all of us. >> thank you. >> thank you. i just had a couple of comments as well. i love this idea and want to echo what everybody said. there is precedent which commissioner lee cited, so that definitely hoping that -- i think i have spoken with director wayland and put you in touch with some best practices developed around this and might as well seize on those. and i think the entertainment commission is extremely well connected with license holders and the entertainment license holder rs and the entertainment in the mission, and i own dr. t's on 19th and mission, and i organize the bar owners and a lot of them don't have entertainment permits. and they are organized into a group and 350 members and a lot

of them are in the mission. and i personally can definitely helped and steven talked about getting a core group there. i have some ideas of who very solid people are going to show up day in, day out are. and i have pretty intimate knowledge of most of the bar owners. so through director, please connect with me, and i am happy to help. through this facebook group -- which it's more than a facebook group and the bar lines and we are constantly sharing footages and footage of bad actors and people committing minor sexual assault, meem people stealing purses and have it localized in the mission and the ability to warn people they are coming down the street is great. last week there was one on polk street and a guy that had him on cameraened a said, careful, everybody, they are coming up up the street. we caught him stealing a purse. very timely and i can be a lot -- i think it would be very assistive on that front. thank you. >> thank you. >> hi.

i am curious and you mentioned 79 assaults and other types of crimes. are you seeing a peek or the standard things generally going? and of course we want to know if there is things turning up and try to figure out how to bring more urgency to that, but no matter what this is out of great effort. >> to answer your question specifically, there is nothing too out of the ordinary. one obviously is too much, and we are trying to find ways to bridge gaps and open lines of communication so we can be a little bit more -- measured, appropriate, and very specific with how we're able to identify suspects and reduce crime, to answer your question. i am not noticing or seeing any trends or patterns that are particularly concerning. i just took a sample of specific

crimes that tend to be linked to patrons, and employees, of a night life establishment to sort of get a general snapshot of what we are looking at to try to reduce that as much as possible. >> great. have you shared -- it sounds like you want to be a best practice for other stations in the city. have you shared this with central station? or northern station and gotten any -- >> yes, with ewe meet on the weekly basis now with deputy chief redman, and we discuss crime trends and share ideas on how to work on the different issues that we come up with, and sharing ideas and using our department resources and other city resources to deal with issues throughout the city. >> great. well, the more we can do this type of work, i think, as law enforcement, the better. thank you so much for presenting that today. >> thank you. >> i was remiss in making one other comment, and i really

wanted to acknowledge your lieutenant canning. chris, i think it's extraordinary that you are actually flagging employees and that is something that we often don't talk about. we are quick to talk about the patrons of clubs, but we don't always talk about that relatively large segment that is the people that work in the industry. and they have every right in the world to have safe passage home, and unfortunately, there is times when that doesn't occur. i am glad you are keying in on that. and thank you, again, captain. >> thanks, commissioner. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much for your time. and happy holidays to everyone. they're coming fast. >> thank you. good evening. >> is there any public comment on this specific agenda item? this is not general public. this is just on the presentation. >> a commissioner, thank you very much. kind of funny, i was just having dinner at southpaw barbecue and

looked at the owner and said, hey, you have a little bruise on you. he said, i was assaulted in front of my own restaurant waiting for an uber ride homeful. >> i said, you've got to be kidding me. i didn't have any answers for him at this point, but i will revisit my friend and tell them, hey, get some guys together, and with the police department is doing right now is being proactive. instead of reacting to an issue and instead of reacting to the issues, they are coming out and speaking to this commission and which this commission has a great talent for bringing people together, discussing, and i love your forums. this is just another topic that is really important. but commissioner falzon made a good point, we always talk about patrons, but people coming to and from work that sometimes don't always feel safe going to the cars or trying to get home and that kind of thing.

and this is something that in the mission from time to time there is a spike in crime. and what we have to do now is get our arms around it and get ahead of so that we can take control of our lives and our own safety. >> all right. thank you. there is no vote on this item. so we're going to close this particular item. and now we'll get back to the regular agenda that we had. the first item on our agenda is general public comment. and i believe there are some people here. if you are a member of the public, three minutes per person to speak please. >> a hello, commissioners. thank you for your time. we've now been two years into the situation with halceon. and we wanted to come and let you know it has not been getting better. the conditions that the commission placed on the

operator's permit have not been effective because they're often not enforced. i say this not to criticize the commission or the inspectors. we understand that resources are limited and they can't be everywhere at once. however, when a permit limitation is says operations end at 4:00 a.m., it is not enforceable unless there are inspectors working after 4:00. we wish to work with the commission and the operator, but we haven't been getting anywhere. we have reached out numerous times to the operator directly, but it never seems to improve when we do. when enforcement isn't available, i have made efforts to document noncompliance, but the evidence has been deemed inadequate. i have been in touch with the enforcement arm of the entertainment commission 10 times that they have been operating after 4:00 a.m. without notifying us ever since this condition was added to the permit. it's frustrating that those nights haven't been counted toward the limit, and we believe they have already far exceeded that limit. in addition, we've become aware that the venue has been continued to be cited for operating above the decibel

limit set in the permit. we are disheartened that the operator has been given many chances to bring her venue into compliance, but continuously failed to do so. we believe that entertainment and housing can and should exist side by side in san francisco. we're proud of our neighborhood and a positive relationship with other entertainment venues on 11th street. d.n.a. lounge, phlegms, butter,ed a you, and oasis, but from a public health perspective, continuous operation in excess of noise limits goes on all night is incredibly damaging to our health and well being. we believe that gina has shown she has no intention of complying with permit conditions. we invite commissioners to work with us, talk to us, and find some solution for the continued health of both the residential neighbors and entertainment venues that make 11th street a valued and unique part of the city. thank you. >> thank you. >> i am tony wu, a neighbor to

halceon. hi, commissioners. i am here to give you an update, but first, i would like to welcome commissioner lieutenant falzon. and give you some background. in 2016 when i bought my home, knew the neighborhood and consulted with the e.c. prior to to buying and i was advised i would be living next door to holy cow and it would be loud. i contacted holy cow and asked the seller if i could spend a night before putting in an offer. with the due diligence, everything checked out. the noise level was manageable. i moved in. things were great. i did not expect beat box selling to gina and how she would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to upgrade sound equipment in an old brick auto mechanic shop. in the first few months i researched online for soundproofing win dose and found quotes for $3,000 to $4,000 per one i do and with eight windows and a sliding door and labor it came out to about $60,000 that i couldn't afford.

i have been working with the e.c. since to notify sound complaints and over the years, they have received countless violations. probably the most out of all p.o.c.s consultants have confirmed her old roof is where the sound leakage is happening. however, when gina comes here instead of telling us what to do to fix thing, she distracts the conversation by pointing to unreasonable anti-entertainment residents and e.c. staff and inspectors out to get her. in the past few months the lawyers would ask if we would consider having the windows soundproofed by gina and we responded multiple times saying yes. we realized there was no effort and progress and it was a tactic to tell the e.c. they were trying to really help us. i have even shared my quotes to gina out of good faith and in a response to a later text message complaint from me, she responded rudely that i was cheap and laughed that i couldn't pay

$3,000 to fix my windows, not understanding the quotes i sent her. she will take every opportunity to craft a narrative on others to distract how she operates her business. it was quite clear when gina was here last when commissioner tan told her not a decibel above her limit or one minute after 4:00 a.m. in the past month she has received violations for both. i understand the commission promotes night life, but if they recklessly continue, what message are you sending to the rest of the p.o.e.s? >> thank you very much. >> seeing no additional public comment, public comment is closed. moving along, the approve of meeting minutes. which are from october 16, 2018.

>> i move to approve. >> second. >> is there any public comment on the meeting minutes? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioner perez? >> aye. >> a commissioner thomas? >> yea yea. >> vice chair caminong? >> yea yea. >> a president bleiman? >> aye. >> commissioner falzon? >> aye. >> commissioner lee? awe aye. >> commissioner tan? >> aye. >> it is so moved. meeting minutes have been approved. next agenda item is a report from the executive director. please. >> thank you, president bleiman. good evening, commissioners. happy election day. very lively day in city hall. always love it. i wanted to give you a few brief updates. first of all, i am very, very excited to announce that i have hired a deputy director for the entertainment commission who will be starting with us on

monday, november 19. she comes to us from alameda county. she's been working the public sector there, and i think she's going to be a great addition to the office. you will all meet her on november 20. i'm going to let her introduce herself then, and if you guys want to ask her questions at that time or just do a meet and greet before, come a little bit early, that would be awesome. so moving along, i wanted to talk about some enforcement issues. i have been keeping you guys apprised via email i believe about both of these, and i have been speaking continuously with president bleiman about them, but i wanted to include in your packets under agenda item number 3, copies of director's orders that were issued to both parlet

and club malibu with activity at both of those or near both of those venues. you will see a little bit more information about that in your packet. harlot, as you are aware as well, received a suspension for public safety from me prior to this director's order. we worked extensively with the police department to come up with those added conditions to their security plan, and gave the operator some time to weigh in on it, and that is the result of the director's order. let me know if you have any questions about those specifically. and then there is a coup of things that we did not agendaize and i will note. i don't think we can have extensive conversation at all about it since it is not on the agenda, but you will see i gave you a hard copy and emailed you a copy of a notice to appear for halceon and that will be happening on december 4 at that

hearing at the request of president bleiman. if you have any questions about any of this, let me now now. otherwise, i will pass the microphone to dylan who wanted to make a minor announcement. >> good evening, commissioners. dylan rice, senior analyst for community and cultural events. a quick reminder and quick plug for the next s.f. outdoor events network mixer which is tomorrow evening. we're excited to host and do it at el rio in the mission district. the topic, again, will be how your event can leverage technology to increase revenue and improve customer service and we will have great speakers from a company called tour tech which does wi-fi infrastructure and connectivity for major events. and another company called guidebook which cres
