>> clerk: thank you, supervisor stefani. condolences will be sent. supervisor walton. >> thank you, madam clerk. today, i'm making a city attorney request for legislation in the area of mandatory sectors hiring for employment outside of construction. for example, technology, hospitality, health care sector and city government, which is our largest employer. and i just want to say that as a city rich in diversity, san francisco, we take pride in our ability to be responsive and our innovation in creating workforce that is job ready. the san francisco local hiring policy for construction has helped connect our residents to living wage jobs and has addressed then equalities in ethnicities, race, gender, w l

lgbtq and those who have been traditionally left behind. our local hiring policy has been successful for many residents, and we are excited to expand this policy to additional industries. we are excited to work with so many of our employers that want to hire locally. research from the brookings institute has shown that we can connect more of our vulnerable populations to work through programs that are created to help with local hiring. i ask that you all stand with me in supporting greater access and inclusion for all san francisco residents. when we focus on developing strong partnerships between labor and community, we have higher success rate of connecting our residents to work and creating a city of opportunity where businesses and communities with thrive. the recess i submit. clerk -- the rest, i submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor walton. supervisor yee? >> president yee: thank you,

madam clerk. colleagues, today, i would like to introduce a resolution to support a.b. 127, spleet streets act of living. as you know, vision zero is a priority for me. as the author of the vision zero policy, we have made significant strides in terms of engineering and education, but last year, we reported more fatalities than in 2017, and this is not acceptable. yesterday, i heard from trauma surgeons at san francisco general that nearly half of the 4,000 traumas received in their emergency room are from collisions. one half of the pedestrian deaths are seniors, and three-fourths of the traffic deaths are walking or biking.

we must do everything to stop these preventible injuries and deaths. this is why today i am introducing resolution to -- in support of the s.b. 127. on january 10, senator wiener druzed the complete streets act for living bill. currently cal -- caltrans prioritizes car and truck traffic -- 13% of our streets are the location of 70% of our severe collisions. many of these are on roads that are caltrans thoroughways, including 19th avenue, sloat boulevard, and vanness avenue.

this bill will ensure that all users, such as people crossing the street to access homes and businesses, people's bicycling or people riding the bus are prioritized. s.b. 127 also secures funding for the pedestrian and bike improvements, mandates performance measures and an engagement process of communities and local governments. senator scott wiener's legislation is aligned with san francisco's complete streets policy and our codified better streets plan that directs the city to include pedestrian, bicycle and streetscape improvements as part of any planning or construction in the public right-of-way. that is why i am proud to join senator wiener, san francisco bay area families for safe street, safe route to school, the california san francisco bike coalition, walk sf, the american heart association in supporting s.b. 127.

i want to thank my cosponsors, supervisors mar, haney, and safai, and the rest, i submit. >> clerk: thank you, mr. president. supervisor brown. >> submit. >> clerk: thank you. that concludes the introduction of new business, mr. president. >> president yee: okay. so why don't we go to public comment, and we will now hold general public comments. if you would like to speak, please lineup. every speaker will be allocated two minutes, and please refrain from directing any -- your comments to any individual supervisor or any items already heard at the board. all right. >> hi. my name is sabrina hall, i'm a resident of district ten. it's funny on item nine, when you guys are talking about

d.h.r. to accept complaints of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation up to one year, i have several complaints in where since i've whistle blowed on these various agencies, i have been retaliated against, my whole life taken from me. i've been forced to stay in the city shelter, hamilton family shelter, which is very dirty and nasty. many residents come to complain, but we get hit with if we complain, we get a c.p.s. case, because people in power have the right to do anything. i go to get food, an entity call, on the application, it says you need help with food. eight months went by. i never got anything. right now, my kids are being retaliated in school. my son goes to malcolm x preschool. they over medicated him. i put in a complaint with the city. they covered it up, they made the principal step down. same thing at everett school.

my daughter was harassed, i called them out, the principal was forced to step down, and they covered it up. i have several complaints in. i've been up here several times, several times. nobody's doing nothing, so it's fun that he all say one year. i have ipictures with newsom, willie brown. we have videos on facebook. it's sad that you do this to some of your employees. some of people sitting here know what i'm talking about because they're part of it. [inaudible] >> president yee: thank you very much. next speaker, please.

>> supervisors, i was watching a swearing in, and i'm requesting the clerk of the board, that we need to take a look at that swearing in ceremony because it was a circus. that was a circus, and i've been coming into these chambers for 40 years, so i should know. the other thing missing, you all must remember that this land belonged to the native americans, and not once you all mentioned the native americans. even though some of you are purported to have some affinity to the native americans. the native americans could be

killed up to 1927 signed by the governors of california. we need to have empathy, and we need to have compassion. when people come here and tell you they've been harassed, they need the support. i worked for the army, rose very high, the national park service, and the united states park police, so i understand crooks. i'm not afraid of them. i have very high clearance, i am not afraid of crooks, and believe me in this chamber, there are some crooks dealing with dark money, and i'm not afraid of them. and you talk about segments of the population suffering, we need to talk about the native

americans, and we need to talk about people of color. thank you very much. >> president yee: okay. next speaker, please. >> hi. my name is gloria berry, and i would like to thank the supervisors that supported the reform del gegate candidates lt saturday. second, i heard the words affordable housing used in this meeting. it used to be that affordable housing meant that the cab driver or regular worker could afford a house in the city. now, unless a building is 100% affordable, affordable housing is now code word for gentrification. by thinking it's acceptable to

build 70% with those who earn ov over $82,000, for those at the poverty level, their chances are reduced drastically, and people, specifically black people, are pushed out. now, the shipyard. recently, there was a study done at the shipyard with a small sample soil in the last six months that contained radio active substances at levels below the navy's cleanup targets at the naval shipyard but above the safety goals for the super fund sites set by the u.s. environmental protection agency. also, at the san francisco police department crime lab at the shipyard, their water is still being tested and is troubling levels of lead.

they're still drinking bottled water, request the surrounding areas be tested and verified if there are independent plumbing. the shipyard has existed before a lot of us were born. i demand -- [inaudible] >> president yee: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name's ellen, and i'm a long time resident of san francisco. [inaudible] >> state constitution regulations and building codes require the members of the appeal board to be knowledgeable in applicable building codes, regulations and ordinances. san francisco b.o.a. members do

not possess this qualifications except frank fung, an architect. he's been in this position since 1986. he stated in one of the hearings that building and planning are satisfied with the plans, then he would be satisfied with it. he has been holding his position for too long, and forget his position, which is to uphold safe and new constructions. [inaudible] >> other b.o.a. members have deferred the board's decision to mr. fung, and now, the project says the plans are too complicated. the lack of qualifications forced them to make wrong decisions, and unfortunately their wrong decisions are final, but have negative impact on people's projects and at the pointant safety. you appoint unqualified b.o.a.

membe members. i have a request for specific requirement to -- [inaudible] >> -- and i hope that one of you will provide us with the responsive code to our requests as tax payers and residents. we are entitled to receive a responsible answer. thank you. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening, supervisors. i'm peter warfield, executive director of library users association, and congratulations to those of you newly elected as well as reelected. i have two main subjects with respect to the library fines

and fees. [inaudible] >> because they are barriers to access and especially fall most heavily on the poorest people. so we're certainly glad that the library is getting rid of fines, but they're not getting rid of fees. in fact, the report that they have worked on, called long overdue, is filled with absolutely reasonable reasons why fines should be abolished, but there's no analysis whatsoever of fees. well, if a library patron loses a simple adult book, easily

$35, could be 50, could be 100. how are they going to pay that, especially if that's their budget for food for the week? how about a link-plus book, which if you take it out, says right on the cover, $115 flat fee if you use it, even if you could get a replacement for $1 on-line and $4 replacement. these fees are just as damaging and even more so because they hit suddenly. earlier today, you heard the mayor talk about equity. the library should strongly consider eliminating fees, and you should insist the library study the subject of inequities at the library. >> president yee: thank you. any other speakers? come on up. >> good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the board. my name is winship hillier.

i'm in a bit of an uncomfortable situation. i am a target of federal intelligence surveillance and have been since about 2001. i've made the appropriate inquiries, and from the what i can tell, i've been designated as an international terrorist. this means that the united states attorney general or designee had to certify facts showing that i am engaged in dangerous activities -- or activities dangerous to human life for or on behalf of a foreign power -- excuse me while i remember this stuff -- in order to intimidate or coerce a civilian population. okay. this is all ridiculous, of

course, but these facts were certified in what's well known as the secret court. there was no opportunity to be heard, no notice, etc., and so i've never had a chance to -- to -- negate them. and moreover, a lot of people know about this in this town. i think probably the entire knows about it, probably knows about this status and refuses to help. negligent failure to warn. about $2.4 million minimum statutory damages are due to me because of this wrongful certification, and well gosh, no one will fess up about it. no one will share, no one will defend my constitutional rights under the fourth amendment. back to you, madam clerk. >> president yee: okay. are there any other public

comments? seeing none, then, public comment is now closed. [ gavel ]. >> president yee: so madam clerk, could we have the next item, please. 77? >> clerk: yes. item 77 was introduced for adoption without reference to committee, a unanimous vote is required for resolutions on first read today. there aren't any. it's a motion, however, it can be severed, discussed about separately. >> president yee: okay. there's only one, so any -- i don't see anybody on the roster. can we take this item, same house, same call, without -- without objection? this motion is approved unanimously. [ gavel ]. >> president yee: madam clerk, can you please call the next item. >> clerk: yes. today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following beloved individuals. on behalf of supervisor fewer, for the late miss lisa susan

montevu. on behalf of supervisor peskin, for the late mr. al glassgold and mr. tom guido. on behalf of supervisor stefani for the late mr. john james walsh, and on behalf of supervisor stefani and supervisor peskin, for the late mr. michael richard farris, sr., and the late richard newsom. >> president yee: okay. that brings us to the end of the agenda. madam clerk, are there any further business before us? but before you say anything, i want to say thank you to my colleagues for making this meeting easy to chair. i know it won't be like this every week, but thank you for today. madam chair? >> clerk: that concludes our business for today, mr. president. >> president yee: okay. meeting adjourned.

shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do their shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of san francisco. by supporting local services within our neighborhoods, we help san francisco remain unique, successful, and vibrant. so where will you shop and dine

in the 49? >> my name is ray behr. i am the owner of chief plus. it's a destination specialty foods store, and it's also a corner grocery store, as well. we call it cheese plus because there's a lot of additions in addition to cheese here. from fresh flowers, to wine, past a, chocolate, our dining area and espresso bar. you can have a casual meeting if you want to. it's a real community gathering place. what makes little polk unique, i think, first of all, it's a great pedestrian street. there's people out and about all day, meeting this neighbor and coming out and supporting the businesses. the businesses here are almost all exclusively independent owned small businesses. it harkens back to supporting

local. polk street doesn't look like anywhere u.s.a. it has its own businesses and personality. we have clothing stores to gallerys, to personal service stores, where you can get your hsus repaired, luggage repaired. there's a music studio across the street. it's raily a diverse and unique offering on this really great street. i think san franciscans should shop local as much as they can because they can discover things that they may not be familiar with. again, the marketplace is changing, and, you know, you look at a screen, and you click a mouse, and you order something, and it shows up, but to have a tangible experience, to be able to come in to taste things, to see things, to smell things, all those things, it's very important that you do so.

>> look at that beautiful jellyfish. the way to speak to students and motivate them to take action, to save the planet, they do, they care and my job is to speak to them in a way that they can understand that touches their heart and makes them feel powerful with simple actions to take every day. ♪ ♪ >> i was born and raised in the desert of palm springs, california. my dad was the rabbi in the community there. what i got from watching my father on stage talking to the

community was learning how to be in the public. and learning how to do public speaking and i remember the first time i got up to give my first school assembly, i felt my dad over my shoulder saying pause for drama, deliver your words. when i was a kid, i wanted to be a teacher. and then when i got into high school, i decided i wanted to get into advertising and do graphic art and taglines and stuff like that. by the time i was in college, i decided i wanted to be a decorator. but as i did more work, i realized working my way up meant a lot of physical labor. i only had so much energy to work with for the rest of my life and i could use that energy towards making a lot of money, helping someone else make a lot of money or doing something meaningful.

i found the nonprofit working to save the rainforest was looking for volunteers. i went, volunteered and my life changed. suddenly everything i was doing had meaning. stuffing envelopes had meaning, faxing out requests had meaning. i eventually moved up to san francisco to work out of the office here, given a lot of assembly through los angeles county and then came up here and doing assemblies to kids about rainforest. one of my jobs was to teach about recycle, teaching students to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost, i'm teaching them they have the power, and that motivates them. it was satisfying for me to work with for the department of environment to create a message that gets to the heart of the issue. the san francisco department of

environment is the only agency that has a full time educational team, we go into the schools to help teach children how to protect nature and the environment. we realized we needed animal mascot to spark excitement with the students. the city during the gold rush days, the phoenix became part of the city feel and i love the symbolism of the phoenix, about transformation and the message that the theme of the phoenix provides, we all have the power to transform our world for the better. we have to provide teachers with curriculum online, our curriculum is in two different languages and whether it's lesson plans or student fact sheets, teachers can use them and we've had great feedback. we have helped public and private schools in san francisco

increase their waste use and students are working hard to sort waste at the end of the lunch and understand the power of reusing, reducing, recycling and composting. >> great job. >> i've been with the department for 15 years and an environmental educator for more than 23 years and i'm grateful for the work that i get to do, especially on behalf of the city and county of san francisco. i try to use my voice as intentionally as possible to suppo support, i think of my grandmother who had a positive attitude and looked at things positively. try to do that as well in my work and with my words to be an uplifting force for myself and others. think of entering the job force as a treasure hunt.

you can only go to your next clue and more will be revealed. follow your instincts, listen to your gut, follow your heart, do what makes you happy and pragmatic and see where it takes you and get to the next place. trust if you want to do good in this world, th >> important inform keep the drains clear it impacts the flooding in the environment and the neighborhoods. >> hopefully, we'll have another rainy season that is important people keeping up tare trains 72 hours one thing to captain about things but take responsibility. >> we will in the best city in the world keep it clean. >> i invest a live-in san francisco for 38 years and proud

peskin. the clerk is john carol. i'd like to to thank the group at sfgovtv for televising this meeting. mr. clerk, do you have any announcements? [agenda item read]. >> chair mandelman: thank you. call the first item. [agenda item read]. >> chair mandelman: thank you, and we'll hear first from the department. >> good morning, supervisors. i'm sergeant gigi george wash before you, sfpd. you have before you a type 21

license. if approved, this would allow cvs to sell off-sail distilled beer, wine, and spirits. they are located in plot 164, which is considered a high crime area. they are in census tract 117, which is a high saturation condition. sales of alcoholic beverages should be permitted between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. number two, the following alcoholic beverages should not be sold in quantities of three individual containers per sale. a, beer included malt beverages and multidrinks in containers of 40 ounces or less.

next, premixed alcoholic beverages known as wine coolers, and three, spirits-based cocktails. number three is no wine shall be sold with an alcohol content of greater than 15% by volume. number four, no distilled spirits shall be sold in bottles or containers smaller than 600 mls. and number five, petitioners shall actively monitor the area under their control in order to prevent the loitering of persons on any property adjacent to the licensed promise as depicted on the most recently certificate fight ab 253. it should be noted that the applicant has greed with all the above listed conditions. >> chair mandelman: looks like we have no questions, and we will hear from the applicant.

>> good morning, supervisors, jodi knight on behalf of junius, rubius, and rose. the cvs at pine would sell a wide variety of products. over the counter drugs, photographs, seasonal merchandise, greeting cards, groceries, and a small quantity of in a small dedication ded -- section dedicated to liquor sales that we're seeing today. they want to benefit the community and really be a part of the community and to that end really control the sale of the liquor proposed, which is why they have offer today have additional restrictions on those sales that we've -- we'll

hear about today. and the sales are supported by the san francisco police department. to hear more about the project, i want to introduce stephen labonge, and he will tell you more about cvs's plans, and we are all here for questions. thank you. >> hi. good morning. steven labonge. i work for cvs. i'm the real estate director. i handle the bay area, pacific northwest, basically, west coast. not southern california. i live in the east bay. i live in contra costa county. i'm here today obviously for our type 21 license request at 500 pine and kearny. this store opened in june of this year, so it's actually an open store already. store's about 8800 square feet.

we're actually asking for 85 square feet of shelf line, which is one little gondola of shelf space, so this is a minor part of an operating drugstore. and i -- i bring that out because i know in the past not too far from here, there was a bevmo that was highly contested, and obviously, bevmo beverages, it's a different -- our store -- this is a small supplement to a wide variety of things, and you know, we have approximately 18 stores in the city, and i'm sure you're aware of some of them, spread throughout the city. we get -- frequently, we get requests from customers, hey, why don't you have this, why don't you have that. that might be because they've been in a bigger suburban store, and we don't have that. this is a convenience for our

customers. it's by no means our core offering, but it's to -- you know, for the convenience of the customer. we've -- we've been -- tried to be extremely proactive, working with the police department, working with the nature of being in san francisco, the density of people in tailoring or offering to be a nonnuisance offering, and i think that was highlighted with the conditions that sergeant george outlined earlier to be not a nuisance sales, and that's an evolving thing that we're always trying to be proactive. so if you can think of anything that would enhance that, we're always open to that. we were notified of the protests to the 11 store

operators. we always reached out to have discussions directly through hand delivered requests. we have not had direct discussions, but would like to have. i also have with me, just by way of -- in case you have more detailed operational questions, mat ludwig who's our district leader. he's responsible for actually running the stores. i handle our real estate, so my operational knowledge kind of goes only so deep. so if you have more in-depth questions, certainly, matt can come up and answers. that's all i have. so if you have any other questions, i appreciate your time today. >> chair mandelman: thank you. i don't see any questions from my colleagues. okay. great. well, then, we do have public

comment on this item. i have some cards here. michael, steven, aaron, dan, and kevin, and if folks could lineup line up on the -- your right. if there are other folks that want to speak, just lineup. it's great if you could fill out a card and give it to the clerk so we can keep track of folks, although you're not required to do that. speakers will have two minutes. please state your first and last names clearly and leave a card. those who submit documents, they will be left with the clerk. no applause or booing is permitted after statements. with that, i'll call the first speaker. >> hello. my name's dan galvan.

i'm a resident of bush and mason. i don't think it's a convenience to anybody. it's so close to portsmouth square and between the sores and ploughshares building. if they're going to start selling liquor at 7:00 in the morning, there's not a single on license that's open at this time. it's really just detrimental to the whole neighborhood. i don't see why -- i have to go home sometimes at four in the morning from work, and there's a lot of people with problems wandering the streets at that point. if they could -- if they've got bei access to liquor that early in the morning, i don't think that really is a boon to the wheel

community at all. that's just my opinion. i've been on bush street over 20 years, and i've seen it kind of get -- especially the parking garage there, the -- where the -- the -- there's a lot of homeless people, a lot of people with problems that hangout on that street, and it's getting to a little dodgy, so i'd prefer that we didn't have another one. thank you. >> chair mandelman: thank you. next speaker. >> hello, supervisors. my name is aaron evans. i live at stockton and california. it's maybe, well, 1.5 blocks from the park there. i challenge the people that are in favor of this to walk upstairs from the cvs and go in the back corner of that park and see if you feel safe. that park has gotten worse and

worse and worse, and i used to go and sit there, and there's some really scary people hanging out. the bevmo argument is irrelevant. it is a nonnuisance. any alcohol is a nuisance to the addicted person that's just looking for more alcohol. the ways to make the neighborhood better is less booze and less availability to it. we need to keep from making this homeless and threatening problem worse. the neighborhood is getting scary, and i don't like it. also, the soares-ploughshares is a recovery center. it's within a block. i'll tell you, we all know what's going on.

go walk the streets, go walk the stairwell around stockton and california. go walk around the stairwell at bush and sutter, and those stairwells with people. it's horrific. it's horrific. we shouldn't make it worse. thank you. >> chair mandelman: thank you. next speaker. >> good morning. my name is michael hughes, and i live at 250 kearny. i'm obviously a veteran. pretty much the gentleman prior to me said everything i would want to see. another establishment providing liquor in the area would generally -- there's already a plethora of establishments that offer alcoholic beverages, whether re-taylor bars. there was a -- retail or bars. there was an argument about

having alcohol available at 7:00 in the morning just lengthens the day, which is probably not good for the neighborhood as a whole. basically, i think there's already enough alcoholic establishments in the area. another one isn't really -- it's not going to contribute to the goodness of the neighborhood at all. thank you. >> chair mandelman: thank you. next speaker. >> hello. my name is stephen tillish, and i also live at 250 kearny street, and there's a lot of people in that building that are recovering from various addictions, and i really don't think we need another establishment, like mike said, especially opening up at 7:00 a.m. in the morning to offer booze for the, you know, addicted persons. it's hard enough to recover.

people pretty much said everything i was going to say, too, so thank you very much. >> chair mandelman: thank you. next speaker. >> how you guys doing? i'm kevin seneca, and i live at 250. i've been there in the neighborhood a while, and it's getting worse and worse. my room is actually right on the street, so i can hear everything that's going on. and 3:00, 4:00 in the morning, it's outrageous. as they say, we have a lot of people in our building with mental issues. to wake up at 7:00 in the morning and have a liquor store there for them is definitely the wrong thing to do. that's all i have to say. >> chair mandelman: thank you. next speaker. >> hi. my name is momana, and i own the liquor store a block away from them at 300 kearny street.

i've been there six years. if you would have asked me if i would be competing with a cvs or big corporate stores, i wouldn't even think about it. the reason i purchased -- made a big investment in san francisco is because of you guys, and the city of san francisco helping the, you know the -- the small businesses, basically. this is a pharmacy that sells prescription pills, and that's how they make their money. they don't care if they get their liquor license, sell or not sell liquor license. it's just an addition to their store. they buy in bulk because they're cvs, and they own a lot of stores, and they sell it for a tiny little margins, which drives all of the stores out of the san francisco area. you know once they get their license, every corporate store that wants to apply for a liquor license, every block is

going to be a copy of the ones previous to it. it's walgreens and cvs and the 7-elevens of the world. if you want to help small businesses, this is the time to do it. thank you very much. >> chair mandelman: thank you. next speaker. >> i'd like to hand this in to the clerk. my name is michael nolte. i happen to be one of the litigants or protestants for this liquor license. you know, when somebody here sees a posting, and they don't exactly know what the outreach was going to be, like, there was no outreach to community groups. when you see there's no litter supports in the packet, then you're concerned about that. i'm handing in that this is the -- the -- the bevmo's -- what happened already for the neighborhood so you can see

it's been signed by the mayor. i also want to point out that cvs will be providing cheaper alcohol than any of the other corner stores which has hurt in the past many of these small businesses. there was again, no outreach done, which the person is misleading in his testimony saying he did outreach. i'm here representing another protest, my brother, we specifically neither got any outreach for this hearing by them. and the next issue has always been when these businesses come into the neighborhood, they don't realize the impact to the neighborhood the empty containers. that causes a big problem, not only just the alcohol itself. also have the concern, again, a cvs, a walgreens, a target,

they all come into the neighborhood and don't realize the impacts they have on the commerce in the community. and i do represent small businesses in some dealings i have in the community, and they always hurt when these kinds of larger businesses come in. and this is not the first time i've been in front of this, asking -- dealing with walgreens, cvs. >> chair mandelman: thank you. are there any other members of the public that would like to comment on this before public comment is closed? seeing none, public comment is now closed. [gavel]. >> chair mandelman: supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, chair mandelman. i want to thank my constituents coming to talk about that area of the city. i live actually a few blocks north of this and was very involved and passed the legislation that allowed that building at 500 pine to be built, for those of you that

remember. for decades, it was an empty hole in the ground. it had to do with an old tearing down actually of an s.r.o. further down pine street, a sordid tale that we don't do in san francisco anymore, thank god. but i know that expansion. it's obviously in very close proximity to that chinatown park. for the reasons that this board of supervisors found unanimously in the bevmo case, given the large amount of liquor licenses in the vicinity and the testimony of tenants with 250 kearny, with all respect to the applicant and the recommendations from the police department, i would respectfully suggest that we forward this to the full board with a recommendation to deny.

>> clerk: that could take the form that finds that the public necessity would not be served by the application. >> supervisor peskin: that would be excellent. if we could prepare that in committee and forward that to the full board out for hearing on the 29 that would be excellent. >> clerk: that is a motion from supervisor peskin. >> supervisor ronen: without objection. >> chair mandelman: and we'll take that without objection. thank you. [gavel]. >> chair mandelman: all right. mr. clerk, please call the next item. >> clerk: agenda item 2 is the issuance to consider an on sale liquor license, 1and8 doing business as museum of ice cream. >> my name's officer patri--

creablicense. >> they are located in plot 104, which is located in a prime area. they're in census tract 117, which is considered a high saturation area, and central station has no opposition to this license. sales, service, and consumption of alcoholic beverages shall be permitted only between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. sunday through wednesday, and 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. on thursday, friday, and saturday. petitioners shall actively monitor the area under their control in order to prevent the loitering of any persons on the adjacent licensed premises as depicted on the most recent ab 253 form.

and lastly, consumption of alcoholic beverages off the premises is not permitted. and i'd like to note on january 14, 2019, the applicant agreed to the above conditions. >> chair mandelman: thank you. it looks like we have no questions. all right. is the applicant here? >> good morning. i'm chamma lester, and i'm a consultant representing the applicant. i also have the general manager of the museum of ice cream here if you have any specific questions. mostly what is included in my letter is what i would want to bring up today. it's really innovative, creative business model. it's bringing a lot of attention to this area of san francisco. the owners are young females.

i think the neighborhood is an important one to be engaging. the owners are millennials, young moms. generally, we'll be closing earlier than the conditions will allow, but we might have some events from time to time. so i'll invite the general manager, danica, to come up and give you more information. >> hello. i'm the general manager of museum of ice cream. i've been with the business since we started building it in july 2017. we opened it, and we thought we'd only be around for four months, but after seeing thousands of people daily, over 500,000 people now, 1.5 years in, we decided to stay permanently. and we are right now the only permanent location for the company in the united states. with that, we wanted to enhance the experience for our visitors, for tourists in the area, and we believe that

through a bar, through a cafe, we will be -- we'll be able to achieve that. i'm also privy to all the operational workings of the museum, so if there are any detailed questions about that, i'm happy to respond. >> chair mandelman: great. thank you. i believe that mr. nolte wanted to speak on this, but i do not see him here. are there any other members of the public -- mr. clerk? there he is. mr. nolte, did you want to make public comment on museum of ice cream? okay. come on up. [inaudible] >> chair mandelman: no worries. okay. again, i just want to remind people of the good neighbor

policies, and this goes -- four copies. so i'm a little confused about how the packet is put together. if they're seeking a 42, and when you look at the a.l.u.s statement, they mention a type 21. they're not seeking a type 21, so i'm not clear which is correct in the assessment of the packet. then again, there's no letters of support and no protests, which is fine, i guess, but -- and i'm -- i will just stay neutral on this one. but i just want to point out some discrepancies in the board packet. if you read the conditions on page three, it says here -- it says here -- do i have no overhead? overhead -- conditions, it's a type 21, when it's a 42.

i'm a little puzzled. we're seeking a 42 here. a and -- and -- so -- and they're putting in a wine bar, so i -- again, i did do the -- read everything, and so we are -- i am neutral on this, but i just want a clarification on what it is that's actually happening as far as with the police department conditions and so forth. so if you can make the corrections to pass it on as a packet, yeah. thank you. >> chair mandelman: thank you. are there any other members of the public who would like to speak before we close public comment on this item? seeing none, we're going to close public comment. i'm going to ask the representative of the department to come back up and explain to us what kind of permit we're dealing with and -- yeah.

>> that was just clearly a typo and error on my point. that should be a type 42 license. if you look every where else in my packet, it says 42. but that was an error on my part, and i take responsibility for that. >> chair mandelman: thank you for the clarification. i'm assuming the city attorney is all right? all right. supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, chair mandelman. i think i have recommended the 90% of the liquor licenses that have come before me on the board of supervisors, so it's odd that there's two before me today that i'm troubled by. while the museum of ice cream has been a hit, it's a hit for kids and families in large part. and i just don't really

understand why a type 42 license is necessary to what is already a successful business model. it just seems like a weird fit. to my knowledge, even though this is in district three, there's been no contact between the applicant and my office. i checked with my staff, checked my e-mails. but i'm having trouble finding public convenience or necessity in this case. i wish the applicant all the success in the world, but i just don't understand why a type 42 is necessary for what's already been a successful business model, and why beer and wine have to be served from 9:00 in the morning till midnight seems pretty bizarre to me, too. for the same reasons, we're just two blocks away from the last location. granted, that was an off-sale, but it gives me no pleasure, but i would actually, subject to hearing from my colleagues, make the same motion for a

resolution as i did in the previous matter. >> chair mandelman: thank you, supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: and i will say, the reason these come to us is because these are areas that are saturated. this corner of the city has the most on-sale and off-sale liquor licenses in any part of the city. they're all in high-crime census tracts. it just doesn't seem to make sense to me. >> chair mandelman: thank you. vice chair ronen? >> supervisor ronen: yeah. i have a lot of respect for your opinion especially since it's in your districts, but i'm wondering if we can continue this item so the museum of ice cream can meet with your office and discuss. as a parent, i've been trying to get tickets to this museum. it is sold out on a regular basis. you know, i would say that i would love sometimes to grab a glass of wine when i'm at a museum with my kid. i
