>> i'm going call this meeting to order. welcome to the november 5th, 2019 meeting. if you're a member of the public and want to speak, there are forms to fill out or speak into the microphone. please put your cell phones on silent. i want to thank sf move tv. gov tv. foul we'll start with a role call. (role call). >> the first order of buz of bus

is public comment. any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. noapproval of minutes of october 15, 20 2019 and october, 2019. do we have approval? >> i raise a motion. >> second. >> any public comment on minutes? >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> missione(role call). >> the minutes have been approved. and next agenda item is a report from our executive director wyland. >> thank you, president. good evening, commissioners. so this evening one hav, i havef update for you, but i wanted to circle back on our annual retreat and just do a little after-action with all of you

here. and also let you know we'll revisit the mission vision and values at our next hearing on november 19th, is the idea. and that would come as an action item, where it would, instead of being discussion only tonight, we can't vote on the mission vision and values in their draft form but we could do that at the next meeting and we should just to memorialize it. via email today, i sent you a link to our google accounts to is that you could access the documents from review them and make suggested edits if you have any. and i would love for you do that if you have any interest to over the next week, so that we can prepare to bring this to a hearing. and so, in your documents, you have copies of that, if that's easier for you to write notes that way and give it to me or send it to me via email, that's totally fine.

i would want to just note that i did notice the language that we agreed upon in that group activity. we have using the same word twice and i didn't like that, between our mission and vision, so hoping we can think of a better or a second word for that. it's kind of minor. we also didn't really agree on a set of values. we have a really long list and i think we can kind of narrow that down. we provided you notes around the promoting night life activity and i wanted to thank everyone for participating in that, because a lot of grea great ides came out of that and i've been at a loss to implement more promotion around night life and some of the ideas were just very spot on. so the action for that, i'm not bringing that back to a hearing just yet, but i would love to hear from each of you on what

you would like us to prioritize as staff. and i would love for you to plug in, as well, within your commission roles. finally, well, a lot of kudos, to the deputy director on compiling all of this, because she went through all of the big pieces of butcher paper and made sure that we were memorializing. i went through your questionnaires and those were helpful. there were a couple of people who didn't fill them out and i would love for you to do that anyway and i actually got some great ideas from staff, from a couple of part-time inspectors, like the commission office hours and one commissioner wants to do ride alongs. i think we could plan that for several commissioners if they're interested. i had one summit idea that i

thought was really good, a panel that would address some challenges within the night life community regarding homelessness, mental health and public safety and i thought that would be a great idea. any summit ideas, now is the time because i want to plan that sooner rather than later. before i talk about our party, do you have any questions on the retreat or anything else that you would like us to do in followup? i do feel like we need a little more time next time we do our retreat, just because that was one comment i heard from quite a few people in the questionnaires, just feeling like we didn't have enough time for individual feedback or to finish up our activity. so duly noted. >> i would agree with that. i think we had lively discussions and we had to cut them short to move on. i wanted to acknowledge staff. i know you put in a lot of effort putting the summit together and it showed and it was a productive day and well

worth our time and i wanted to thank everything. >> thank you. and anything else on the retreat? so, then, moving on, we sent out yesterday our agenda, very skeletal agenda for our holiday party and that's on december 3rd. so that will take the place of the first commission meeting in december and it's going to be at mezzanine. we just felt it was timely to have it at that venue because of all of the challenges that they've gone through over the last year and just have a nice celebration as we round out what looks like the end of their term there, at the end of this year. and this year, the only big difference you'll notice is we won't do live entertainment in terms of bands. we'll probably just have a dj so more flexibility to network and mingle. if there's anything else,

though, you would like at our holiday party this year, talk to me off-line, especially regarding speakers or food ideas, that kind of thing. any questions? >> thank you. >> thank you very much. is there any public comment on the executive director's report? seeing none, public comment is closed. and the next agenda item is number four, a report from the deputy director ozavito. >> thank you, and good evening, commissioners. before we dive into the report, a couple of updates to let you know about. one is that we're receiving a ton of residential complaints, especially with the halloween time that just happened. so our inspectors do respond to that but when we determine it's residential, we reallocate it to sfpd but there was a major u

uptick. one of halloween, there was an awesome list compiling all events we knew would be happening and then they did a great job going out and doing halloween compliance checks. we didn't receive many complaints regarding holiday -- i keep saying holiday -- halloween event, permanent event. we didn't receive too many complaints. no complaints about burning decompression or the war fest which you approved at the last hearing. so then going into the report, i do want to bring to your attention on page 4, the first highlighted note about the penthouse club. they're remodeling their bottom floor and will be having entertainment on the bottom floor and have been having music downtears and we receivedownstad the door leading to the exterior when enter takenmen entertainmeg

downstairs, the door is leaky and there will be a recommendation on better sound-proofing because they'll be having entertainment in the lower level and we'll likely receive complaints if they don't fix that. page 5, bow-bow cocktails lounge. they're having karaoke and we'll work to bring them into compliance. eltrabowl, you've seen this for months and months, they've been issued one citation and they've come into have an in-take meeting and that got canceled on their end. anyway, we received another complaint about them and in followup, our inspector determined they were having entertainment yet again on friday, the day they came in and i said you're not allowed entertainment and we issued another citation. it was a $200 citation. the problem is they want entertainment until 2:00 in the morning and only zoned for llp.

so we will do what we can. i also didn't highlight bar t call but it's below ultra. this is a business, a female-owned business and they are now coming in for a poe and it looks like they're doing a new type of programming and i have an in-take meeting tomorrow and excited to get them a sound limit so they can be in compliance and not get complaints. page 6, i've highlighted 906 world cultural centre and this is a church on broadway, and it went through a cu at the beginning of the year to have community events. it's huge and they've been having parties, apparently, ongoing, but we received a couple of complaints in the last week. inspector fiorentino went out and they had a couple of hundred

people on halloween and they're coming in tomorrow, as well, for an intake and choosing to go for llp. but happy to bring them into compliance. that's all i have highlighted. and happy to answer my questions any questions. >> i have a question. >> ok. >> hi, thank you for the report. just wanted to pick your brain about arena ff and cloud 26 mix. >> ok. >> sigi see them being here mine multiple times. and i see that there's a complaint but when the inspector arrives there, it seems like they're in compliance but happened multiple times. is there a disconnect? >> great question. let me speak about around sf. arena sf, i'm happy to report they were this compliance. it sounds like maybe the

neighbor was just -- maybe they had their windows open because it was warm. however, upon inspection, and taking a reading, they were found in compliance. so we didn't communicate that to the neighbor and haven't heard back since. 26 mix is a very large problem with us right now. it's one neighbor that is complaining and it's during the week. so sunday through wednesday night, when we don't have enforcement team in the fields, and we are working to collaborate with mission station on this, and we just found out that mission station permit officer working with is actually in transition for a promotion and so, needlessto say, they haven't been out to follow up. it's a tricky situation because we're finding them in compliance but we would like to have eyes during the workweek from the sfpd station to verify what's

gong when it's quieter in general. and i've spoken with their head of security on multiple occasions and they have just a lot of locals, regulars that go, that are drinking on sunday, monday nights. but i can't confirm what is happening. so we're work on it. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> thank you for the report. any public comment on the director's report? seeing none, public comment is close. moving along, agenda item 5, which is a report from senior analyst, dillon rice. >> i'm with the community and cultural events and i'll european into education i'll jup into the initiatives for the event organizers.

you're see the latest outdoor event in the street bulletin which came out a week and a half ago. it provides some information on tips on how to start the permitting process early, take advantage of some of these early deadlines to save yourself time and money in the long run. and there's updates on the new online permit application. there's new rules and regs for rule waste for reusable beverage cups and then there's grant opportunities which is of an evergreen topic. you can look at that at your earliest convenience. you can look at the process early. it came out a year and a half ago and updated and i feel like

we're at the end of the season but not too early to think about next season to people can get a head start. one more thing. i mentioned it last time. we will be doing another sf outdoor mixer and that will be in the winter of 2 2020, and wel partner with the sf department on the environment and we'll do a topic on greening your event as well as updating people on the latest rules and regs for zero waste and i'll be meeting with environment department in the next few weeks to come up with a design for that program and that's exciting. no date or location yet but i'll keep you posted. and so, the bulk of my presentation will be updating you on the new software program called screen door that we are using for one-time indoor and outdoor events. it's been several months since

i've given you an update. the big picture is that we really want to streamline our processes for both staff and for our customers and make the permitting process more efficient, more timely and less headaches and more successful for everybody, right. and just wanted to give you some stats. since the may launch of screen door, we've issued 266 one-time outdoor permits and 88% were for outdoor with entertainment and 22% were for amplified sound events. since the one-time event, we've had 29 permits issued and we may have a few more a couple days ago since i wrote this. i have talked to my colleague crystal stewart and director wylan, and we feel like it's a successful transition.

the new digital application process has improved the clarity, efficiency and transparency for both our customers and for staff. i'll give you examples of how things are improved. so there's application status, notificationotification emails e sent to the event organizer every time there's a change in status. the police department under review approved by the executive director and so that is the -- the first thing crystal tells me reduced the newspaper o the numd emails. people are responding to the short and simplified step-by-step instructions on front-end, so more accurate and complete applications as a result. we have incorporated the fee waiver application inside this application, so you don't have to go to a separate web page or

separate pdf. it's reduce th reduced time. applicants are responsible for the ability to make their own revision if we give them permission so they don't have to email us. we give them permission and they make the update so they might upload the correct document or change a typo or something like that. internally, between director wylan and crystal stewart, there's a more streamlined way of updating each other on status of application. so when dr. wyland is approved permits, cease abl she's able to internally send a note to crystal through this screen door program that's more efficient and has saved time. room for improvement, whether or

not it's -- applicants are often uploading incomplete documents things like department approvals, floor plans, budgets to prove their eligible for the waiver and that's required staff to track down the documents. that could be something we'll have to wrestle with. applicants are still confused by the difference between entertainment and amplified sound permits for outdoor events and the price differences. so those questions, crystal oftentimes has to explain the difference. while the system is more integrateincidentintegrated, pel waiting toward the last minute to pay for their application and sometimes crystal will have to nudge them and say, hey, you know, it been approved by the director. you probably saw that. we can't issue this until we get that payment.

so those are just some things to consider for how we're communicating it or functionality and that will be to be determined. i'm going to go up to the computer and just give you a very quick demonstration of the functionality of screen door. i'll highlight some of the functionality showing how these tools are reducing staff time in terms of staff and emails and improving communications internally and externally, creating a fake application from jane event organizer. this is what crystal sees when she's opening up an online application and so, you'll see

there's -- she'll have to add a permit number and she will sign it to herself. so her name is in there and the status bar here, this is the magic bar that alerts the applicant every time there's a change. so once crystal ensures that the application is complete and ready to go to the police, she will do that. and that sends an email to the applicant that they know it's moving along in the process. and some other things to highlight, the very bottom of this, i won't get into everything here, but you'll see there is a add a comment section and this is project management functionality and any staff who has access can leave a comment here. if there was a special case that needs to be noted, director wyland can see, oh, this is what's going on and this is why

there's a delay or all sorts of things to be added there and that's increasing transparency. and i mentioned the ability for an applicant to revise their application if it needs to be revised. so up here, it's hard to see, but there's an edit response. where is that? allow are right respond to edit. so you can see once or no and then that gives them permission to go in there and make those changes. lastly, because we're additional end to end, printing for us or the applicant, we have a message preset or a template that will send the approval to the applicant and it automatically -- i call this mail merge. remember mail merge back in the

day? [ laughter ] you go to send message and then you pick the template so this will be an approval letter for jane organizer. when i say mail merge, there's data fields that get sorted based on what the applicant has input and you can preview it before you send it and so it says, we have this approval letter available on site and this is your permit and it mentioned the details of the location, the time and so on. and then crystal will send this and it automatically gets sent to the applicant. and they can just keep it on their smart device, so if the police or the inspector come to the event, that will suffice for the permit. those are sample tools improving or ability to be streamlined with the permitting. and that's everything from me. unless you have any questions.

yes? >> first of all, this is a great tool. thank you for spare-heading this. i think this will be helpful. i was wondering about the status bar. will i know how many more approvals are in front or to take place before i get the final approval? for example, this has to go through police and the executive director approximately will ther.will there be a visual stas bar? >> i wish there was. we do have a diagram on our website, like a rough flow chart. here is what happens for the moment to submit to the very end. >> i'll be able to re refer to that. >> it's just not integrated into screen door. so that is definitely something i would like to see. and then we do have information at the very front-end on the transaction page on our website, which talks about here are five

steps that need to happen and so there's some of that in there. >> i'll just have to wait for the illustration on the website to figure out what other steps are forthcoming. excellent, thank you so much. good job. thank you. >> anybody else. >> thank you, very good. >> thank you very much. i'm way too excited about getting permit online. it makes me way, way excited and thank you for the work. is there any public comment on senior analyst's reports? seeing none, public comment is closed. and the next agenda item is police number 6, police comment and questions. i don't see anybody here from the police department so we'll move on to number 7, which is hearing and possible action regarding applicants for permits under the jurisdiction for the entertainment commission and deputy director vito, can you introduce the items on the consent agenda for the evening?

>> thank you, president. before we get into our permits, i wanted to make mention that i did take your feedback from the retreat into consideration about the amount of paper for the permit applications. so this will be a work in prog buprogress, but i did pare it dn so feel free for feedback and i would be happy to keep bork on n that. billiard pal lor, both accessory use, no opposition to the permit and the respective police districts had no conditions that they had the. had.

>> any public comment on the consent agenda items? seeing none, public comment is close. will we were entertain a motion? i move to approve the items to the consent agenda for approval with the good neighbor policy. >> second. (role call). >> consent agenda approved and now deputy director, if we can move on to the regular agenda. >> the only permit on the regular agenda is for a place of entertainment, change in ownership for momos at 767 second street. there's no known sound complaints since 1999 and documented under the ec's jurisdiction in 2003. the new owner plans to continue the same type of entertainment programming inside the business and in addition, an outdoor speaker to play music for

patrons on giant's game days on their application. the poe application is for entertainmented in the business until 2:00 a.m. and u.s. of outdoor speaker until 10:00 p.m. they distributed 30 copies distributed in your file. southern station approves this with the recommendations listed below and they're to tell you more is the new owner, scott morton. >> good evening and thank you, deputy director. again, my name is scott morton and effective october 1st, my wife and i took over ownership of momos at 767 second street. with a co combined work historyf 17 years together, we're sited about the challenges posed as new owners. again, to follow up, business

will be ran as usual, as far as we see fit at this point in time. two main points of revenue and business stream with this entertainment permit include as deputy director pointed out, outside amplification of music on giant's game days and then offering any sort of private event group, holiday party, the ability to stay understands with amplified music until 2:00 a.m. in the morning. again, i did hit all of our -- i call it neighboring residents. we don't have anyone directly across street or right next door, aside from 88 king, known as the paragon apartments. a lot of our patrons own and live in those complexes and made sure to meet with the building manager, along with the building manager of six or seven other residents along the china-basin community. in closing, thank you for your

time. >> thanks for coming in. just under your application, it says no as far as neighborhood outreach but you mentioned you did talk to folks from paragon. is that correct. >> yes. >> you talked to them since you completed this application? >> correct, as well as seven other residences, 77, 255 king, 135 townsend and a couple of others in that area. >> just an informal meeting one-on-one or did you call for people to come to your venue or what was the process like for this outreach? >> i went into the community and brought that notice flyer to the building manager, left them a couple of copies and then left my business card and told them to email that out to the residents and then listed my contact information for the questions they had.

>> what was the most popular feedback that you got as far as noise, regarding your venue? >> to be honest, 88 king, the paragon apartments. they've been neighboring momos since it opened in 1998. it was two years after it opened. while they've called the restaurant is couple of different times in regards to amplification on our patio, we kept a good working relationship and they were excited we reapplied and duly noting them in the process. >> you've had change of ownership? >> correct. >> have you had experience working on venues with entertainment? >> myself personally, no. it would be included -- i've worked at momos. and petes and pedro's specifically. we had a limited live performance at petes and pedros when i was the bar manager there but it's there if we need it. we're not looking to turn it

into an official place of entertainment, per say. >> just thinking ahead, how would you plan to manageny possible complaints in the future? what's your procedure? >> the first thing to do just to control the sound volume. that's been our number one point of concern, the ambl amplificatn the speaker. we have a wall-mounting speaker without having to walk out to the bar and fight through a crowd of people to turn it down. i can turn it down from my phone or from an av rack in the restaurant. that's a way to combat it and working with the neighbors community suspec and the resided letting them know we're planning something rather than surprise them. >> you'll be able to make adjustments in real-time as the complaints come in? >> i left my business card with my personal cell phone on it. i'm not sure if the building

manager issued that to every resident at 88 king but the business manager definitely knows how to get ahol ahold of f there's a complaint or point of concern. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> 17 years between the two, what positions were you guys working? >> i started there as a food runner when i was 18 and worked as a bus boy and server as college. let for a couple of years and came back to work for the same restaurant group but was down the street. my wife started as a server about seven years ago and was event's coordinator for the last four or five years. >> i don't have any other questions. you can have a seat. thank you. >> thank you. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> i'll go with a motion to approve with the staff recommendation. >> i'll second it.

education but at the same time i was in hollywood so played at night in rock bands so was doing two different things. >> the reason i'm [inaudible] the people. there is a extremely vibrant art community especially arounds the red poppy art house [inaudible] as a artist in the past 2 or 3 years there is a event called the [inaudible] every 3 months a free art music festival that i usually play at and just met so many people. >> i was teaching a little bit and doing odd jobs like waitressing and going at night and playing in bands and meeting a lot of people. i chss in ban that had cool break jz get parts on tv shows or things like that. a friend of mine, we had mutual
