after sarah cliff broke the story about how the city has been managing the department of public health and overcharging that has been happening at the hospital, all i will say -- >> thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> thank you. congratulations to our new faces over the past year, we've got a few of them. congratulations your ability to create teams and have a victory, it is very dynamic. i respect it quite a bit. let's keep score how many taser kills have we had on the peninsula this year? sorry, tasers don't kill. we are up to three.

medicare for all, maybe we look at it, the va hospital for all. they are already set up. let's not forget subacute beds. we don't have any in the city anymore. let's not forget it. we have public schools versus a corporate cherry picking for-profit schools. let's make our public schools strong. pg and e.e., the ownership should be ours. the executives that we have lost complete trust in, our judge has ordered them to do their business because he feels they are inapt. the next board of directors, at least 50 5% labor, boots on the ground. marijuana, overly paranoid. police, compare the deaths to marijuana to alcohol in -- and tobacco. uber taxis are a disaster. part of a neoliberal let's the

market will break things on the streets. what about the handicapped fans while they are gone or going. a housing plan that the people in san francisco can't be a part of. they can't move into new housing let's get that. seniors, whatever. housing design for our community , and of course, the reason why i am here. >> thank you for your comments. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> hello. i live in the tenderloin, and i'm here to urge the board to spend the funds and prioritize funding for the proposition c. we clearly have a crisis on our streets. i can't walk outside where i

live any day without running into one of my un- house neighbors. they are residents of san francisco, just like all of us, and they deserve the resources that the voters of san francisco decided to give them. we need more shelter, we need more affordable housing. and we need more mental health resources for these people. i understand everyone has all of their different priorities and what they spent don't want to spend their money on, and there is competing interest, but i really think this is the most effective money we can spend, the most effective thing we can spend the money on, largely because the money we spent on solving the homelessness crisis is money that we not only -- it is a moral necessity, but helps us not spend money down the road we spend an immense amount of money cleaning up after homeless encampments, and if every person you get off the street is one

less person that you have to service on the street, which is inherently more expensive than housing someone in servicing them when they're in housing, so i encourage the board to prioritize funding in the prop see. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. welcome, supergirl. >> good evening and salutations. hello, congratulations on your appointment as a president, supervisor yee, too bad you are not the president of the united states. it would be better than trump, of course,. i was just at the campaign rally for kemal harris in oakland, and it was a wonderful experience, but i encountered some hatred there. an old ghost from the past, a buddy from a year ago, just because i'm a peacemaker,

because i believe in unity, just like a lot of you do, and she said something really potent. she said, who are we, who are we as americans squat less answer that question to the world and to each other, right here, and right now. i want to tell all of you, this is my mission statement as the supergirl of san francisco. i'm here to bring education, entertainment, and enlightenment to a city that i falling -- fallen in love with for the last 30 years. i'm here to call out all groups of hatred and division and violence. that is not the way to unity. you can't have unity for the sake of unity, and then tell other voices that they have to be silent because we don't like what they are as a person and as being on this planet.

so you will be seeing me during some -- doing some controversial things. some fun, and happy things to make san francisco smile again, and that is what i am here to do whatever you have heard in the community about me for the last two years, i want you to take a look at my actions and my words. i want you to examine me closely , because i am here to help. i'm here to give help. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. are there any other members of the public would like to address the board board during general public comment? mr president. >> seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, please call the next item, item 64. >> can we do the adoption first class. >> mr president, yes, 65 through 681st. >> okay. call them up. >> sixty-five through 68 were

introduced for adoption without reference to committee, unanimous vote is required for the resolutions. alternatively, any supervisor may require a resolution to go to committee. >> okay. supervisor peskin? >> i would like to sever item 67 , please. >> sixty-seven. i would like to sever 66. >> madam clerk, go ahead and call rollcall for 65 -- 65, 68 and 69? sixty minute -- on item 65 and 68... [roll call]

>> there are 11 aye. >> these 20 what resolutions are adopted unanimously -- these two resolutions are adopted unanimously. by 766 i believe. >> item 66 is a resolution to support california state senate bill 127, complete streets for active living authored by senator scott weiner. >> okay. i just want to make a few comments on this. as you know, operation zero is a priority for me, and for many of us in this chamber.

as authored, we have made significant strides in terms of engineering, but last year, we reported more than fatalities than the year before. a few weeks ago i heard from trauma surgeons at san francisco general that nearly one half of the 4,000 traumas received in the emergency room are from collisions. one half of those of the pedestrian deaths are collisions , and three fourths of the traffic deaths are people walking and biking. we must do everything we can and in our power locally, and at the state level to stop these preventable injuries and deaths. this is why i introduced a resolution in support of senate bill 127, senator weiner's complete streets for active living bill. currently the prioritize it --

cars and trucks are prioritized above all others, so if someone requires caltrain to get complete pedestrian unprotected by great networks throughout california, and prioritize complete streets so that our roads are successful and safe for all users. the bill ensures that all users, such as people crossing the street to access homes and businesses, people cycling, or people riding the bus that are prioritized. s.b. 127 also secures funding for the pedestrians and bike improvements mandates, performance measures, and an engaging process with communities and local governments. senator weiner's legislation is aligned with san francisco complete streets policy, and are codified better streets plan.

it should include pedestrian, bicycle, and landscape improvements as part as -- of any planning or construction in a new public right-of-way. that is why i am proud to join senator weiner, san francisco's bay area families for safe streets, and safe routes to school, the california bike coalition,, walk s.f. and american art association and supporting s.b. 127. i hope that today you will also join me in supporting this. >> i am 67. >> sixty-seven. supervisor ronen, are you speaking on 66? >> i am. i want to be out as a cosponsor, and say i am appreciative of this. i am working with senator weiner , as well as many different departments to address

the interchange way, and to use that area, which is mostly owned by caltrain so it is safer for pedestrians, cyclists back and so we can potentially use some of the land in a much more productive way. i just really wanted to appreciate your work on this, president yee, and asked to be out of this is cosponsor. >> i would love to add to his cosponsor. that include supervisors mar, and haney. can we take this same house, same call? okay. motion passes. that brings us to 67. >> item 67 as a resolution to establish the position regarding liability for utility wildfire costs, and informing california legislators and regulators to protect consumers by ensuring that investor-owned utilities are held responsible for the consequences of their actions.

>> supervisor peskin? >> thank you. i want to thank the cosponsors of this resolution. i also want to thank the deputy city attorney who is in the audience there to draft this, but it is perfectly expressing the sentiments that needed to be expressed. when today is pg and e. day. they filed for bankruptcy. we anticipated that. that is why the legislation is on the agenda, and a little piece of housekeeping on page 2, line one, we need to change that because it anticipates the bankruptcy and the bankruptcy has been filed. this as whereas recent reports will soon file for bankruptcy. we need to change that to whereas pg and e. has filed for bankruptcy and seeks a bailout from its rate pairs. that is what this is about to. i was a member of the board of supervisors in 2001 when they file for bankruptcy last time.

what did they do? they went to the public utilities commission, not our public utilities commission, and they passed $7 billion onto the rate pairs. in the last ten years, the shareholders, the equity had increased from $9 billion, to almost $20 billion. that is coming out of the pockets of every single rate pair. we are about to go in closed session and talk about our existing litigation with pg and e. thing number 3, that is supplemental information that is before us. it includes $5.6 billion to defend the bankruptcy and to begin in the green new deal fund that you heard from supervisor ronen on the acquisition process so that we can be energy

independent from pg and e. after the 2017 wildfire his, what did they do, they went to the state legislature, they got the senate bill passed, and they passed the cost of those wildfires onto the rate pair. we cannot allow that to happen again. that is precisely what this states. it says that they should repeal s.b. 901 given what we all now know, and that was before the 2018 fires. so i commend this resolution to you, i want to thank the p.u.c. for being more than cooperative. they have been enthusiastic in this effort, because of the documents, they have been holding the city hostage at the city and county of san francisco here is the map of city projects that they are holding hostage. they range from the police

academy to thousands of units of affordable housing, to restrooms for our bus drivers. it is shameful, it is time to stop. the best way for us to do that, either through negotiations, or eminent domain, is to take control of the local distribution system. this resolution is a step in that direction. thank you for allowing me to speak on this day in san francisco. [laughter] >> okay. colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call. >> mr president, supervisor peskin has made in an amendment. >> i did make that one amendment , line one on page 2. if we can take this amendment -- is there a second? >> super -- seconded by supervisor walton. and we take this amendment without any objection? can we take this resolution as amended, same house same call?

okay. it is adopted unanimously. okay, let's now go back to 64. >> item 64 is a board of supervisors convening in closed session, scheduled pursuant for the motion, approved on october 30th, 2018, and continued from november 13th, 2018 for the purpose of conferring with our receiving advice from the city attorney regarding existing litigation in which the city is a petitioner electric company is an adverse company pursuant to the california government code, and the administrative code. >> okay. members of the public, we will now be convening in closed session. we ask that you please leave the chamber.

>> it is in the best interest of the public that the board not to elect to disclose is closed session deliberations. there is a motion by supervisor mandelman and seconded by supervisor.

without objection safai, we will not disclose our deliberations. please read the memorial his. >> are you interested in continuing this item, or are you interested in just filing the item? >> i am interested in continuing >> we have to continue to a date certain, right? >> motion to file the item? >> do we need to? >> deputy city attorney, if one of you want to schedule another closed session, we will introduce a motion to set that closed session. you can file it and still hold an additional closed session in the future. >> is there a motion to file this item? okay. a motion made by supervisor peskin and seconded to file.

with no objection, this item is filed. now, please read the memorial rooms. >> the meeting will be adjourned in memory of the beloved individuals. on behalf of supervisor fewer, prefer the late daniel wong, on half of supervisor peskin, for the late muriel, and anaïs schuster. on behalf of supervisors for the late anat matthews, and mr mike parody. on behalf of supervisor stefani, for the late edith tobin. and behalf on supervisor stefani and supervisor peskin, for the late joseph pacelli, and peter mccowen. >> okay. that brings us to the end of our agenda. madam clerk, is there any other further business before us today >> that concludes our business for today. >> thank you to all my colleagues for being patient tonight. the meeting is 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

committee. to my right is supervisor ronen, to my left is supervisor 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
