the primary first a fund at 95.$3 million and the rest will come in other funds such as developer fees and nonadmin rtpff. the funding authority requested will go to support oci stand-alone supportable housing projects with the majority going towards hunter's point shipyard at $56.3 million and mission bay at $46.4 million to help fund predevelopment and gap loans in each of the project areas. the remaining funds will be used towards predevelopment funding for two projects in transbay. here is a breakdown of the individual housing projects by robbs2021. the largest are the shi shipyars which is 112 units rental

project and 3 38.9, block nine,a 141 unit affordable rental project for homeless adults in the mission bay neighborhood. additional funds is 3-pointa 3.g for the shipyard and then 1.6 million in ongoing predevelopment loans for candlestick point north, block 10a, $3.5 million for cellblock 9a and $4 million for mission block 12 west and 3.5 in redevelopments funds at blocks 2 east and 2 west and the rest will go to 1,218 units in robbs 2021.

to put it another way, a breakdown of the number of units in each project area, $7 million in funding to support 250 units in development in transbay, the $46.4 million in mission bay will go to support 454 units in development and 356 units will go to hunter point shipyard and the point project and i will turn it over to the mission bay team to go over their program for robbs 2021. >> good afternoon, chair. i work on the mission bay team. this shows some active projects in mission bay and ocii's base i

bay front and soma hotel and uber's headquarters which are now finishing construction in various stages. so here is our table of forces and uses for mission bay for fiscal year '20-'21 through source type. the largest portion of funds goes towards infrastructure and payment towards an outstanding bond principle. there are also funds for professional services including consultant fees and projected legal and consulting fees to support ocii staff in executing an increase in entitlement of affordable housing units. lastly, there are funds shown for the mission bay art programme which follows the impact fee structure. the slide provides a sense of what the funds will be spent on in fiscal year '20-'21 and the

infrastructure spending program is comprised of new parks and maintenance of existing parks and. construction oconstruction of an public streets. the developer in mission bay will be working on bay front work, p22 across the street from the chase center, which should be finished before the end of this calendar year. as mentioned earlier, we plan to pay down the principle on one of our community facility district bonds for mission bay north. we will utilize consultant services in the past for reimbursements on infrastructure as well as an entitlement increase for housing for the remaining parcels in mission bay south and we will continue to carry out our public art program. that concludes the overview of mission bay and i'll pass it to the trans-a team to speak about their budget.

>> good afternoon. i'm ben brandon, the transbay development specialist and this is a schematic rendering of the transbay redevelopment area and this is what it would look like at full build-out and i'm pleased to report that much has come to fre fruition and conting underway. in the upcoming fiscal year we're requesting $32.4 million of activity in the transit project area and aside from the $24 million pledge amount, the bulk is for infrastructure development and excluding the

tjpa pledge being covered by rptts dollars, the primary sources that we're using, we're requesting for bond proceeds and other funds which are comprised of parks and developer fees with a third source being rptts. and this slide is an overview of the work program for the fiscal year and the primary activities include completion of the fulsome street improvement project, advancing the development and design of the transbay park and underramp park projects and seeking approval projects for transbay block four which is a mixed use housing development. the details include that $27.6 million in the infrastructure spending authority is being requested which would be used for $9 million for construction administration of the fulsome

street improvement project, just over $13 million for design and engineering costs related to underramp park and transbay park and 5.$5 million for streetscape reimbursements required in the development agreements. we're requesting authority for nearly $1 million for professional services' contracts with the balance going to the tjpa pledge and with that, i'll turn it over to th the hunter's point shipyard team. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm here on behalf of the senior project manager who is out of the office today so i will do my best to represent her project as best as i can. so the beginning slide is the same image that you've seen through a number of recent approvals for this project. we have the hunter's point shipyard phase one and phase

2-slash candlestick project. and overall, the budget for 2021 is approximately $17 million. the primary source continues to be developer reimbursement through the other column and again, as we have been doing in recent years, the majority of the work revolves around the many different staff within the city and ocii who work to review permits, designs and other things to move these projects forward. and that detail can be seen on the next slide. the work program for the upcoming year includes helping lenar facilitate the completion of public parks, about seven public parks in shipyard, phase one, bringing designs for additional blocks in shipyard, phase one. as you are aware in the fall, the commission approved the resign of what was the

candlestick retail site into the proposed mixed-use development and now we get into the detailed work of infrastructure, plans and permits and further design so there will be a lot of time working with city agencies to review those detailed proposals. the community benefit's agreement will be implemented and you'll be getting a more detailed update next month, i believe, at a commission workshop, but we will continue that work and, again, be involved as best we can with the ongoing work with the navy and hunter's point shipyard, phase two. more detail breaks out the differences between things that are purely phase one and purely phase two and things that spread across both. most of the infrastructure costs actually relate to occi and city staff and permits and we have additional, professional service's costs that are more specifically targeting financial consulting services, legal services and other, as-needed engineering consulting services.

the community benefit's budget has 2.4 million allocated over time and i think you've heard through the workshops and reports we work with the legacy foundation to program their strategic plan so we continue to do that work. and again, we have an ongoing relationship with the navy and that concludes the overview of huntersview and candlestick point. >> good afternoon. i'm the manager of the development service's division at ocii. in 2021, the asset management portion of oci's work plan includes the management of ongoing obligations outside the three major development areas. so the asset management sources by uses that you see include 7.8 million, those funds are the

remaining balance of grant funds under the 2010 grant agreement for the mexican museums, tenant improvements at the 706 project. that's the largest ke large exp. the authority in that regard is roll up into the operation's lines of the ropps that was covered. and activities under that include continuing to dispose of property that the agency has or will have subject to completion of obligations in the major project areas. i'll hand it back to mina. thank you. >> so we will spend

111.9 million on our bond portfolio, largely to pay debt service on our existing bonds and we have other debt payments including a 4.5 million payment for the hotel occupancy tax refunding. we have 1.8 for the low and moderate income housing fund repayment and we're spending 9.6 on excess proceeds for the ferry landing terminal by the mission bay project area for which we received oversight board approval in september of 2018. so our operatorring budget is 23.2 million, the majority funded by nonadmin, followed by other funds which are developer payments and rtpff admin. and our uses are spread among sasalaries and benefits and heah

and pension. so 10.2 of the 23.2 million operating budget is spent on existing staff salaries and benefits and this covers 54 fte positions which is no change from the prior year including a cola approved by our commission and our mous and we have 6.4 in nonlabor costs and 6.5 in retiree obligations, including pension and health benefits for retirees and additional benefits towards crude pension and health liabilities. so of the 6.4 in our nonlabor costs, the majority will be spent on work orders with the city department partners. this is the largest portion, again, of the nonlabor budget and we have professional services, ibm software and insurance and legal services and

this is general legal services, the legal services for our profits are embedded in the project budgets. of that 3.7 million of the work orders, the largest portion of 1.5 is spent on the work order for affordable housing services. so again, the rptff admin is set by formula and the cost allowance of the dock's distribution less the prior year admin and the table lays out that calculation and you can see the 2021 admin is 4.5. the next table shows the changes in our roth lines and you can see we're retiring a total of 17

lines. this largely reflects transfers of property and completion of projects and we have no new line requests in 2021. just a reminder of where we are in the process, we presented this workshop to the oversight board last week. we're here before you presenting the workshop and we'll go back to the oversight board for their approval next monday and submit our robbs to the department of finance by february 1st. and that concludes our presentation. >> thank you. madam secretary, any speaker cards? >> no speaker cards, mr. chair. >> anybody here wishing to speak on this item? seeing none and hearing none, i'll close public comment and turn to my public commissioners for questions or comments. this is an auto action item so an opportunity to get comments out. a question, mina. could you explain to me and

define the rpttf? that was the only thing i could not figure out what that meant? >> so the rpttf, it stands for redevelopment property tax trust fund and this is just our funding that comes from property tax increment in the various project areas, so those funds are pulled into this terminology of rpttf but it's what our property tax increment funding is. >> so say it once more. >> redevelopment property tax trust fund. >> thank you, thank you. >> page 2. >> it's also in the first slide. >> thank you. >> any other questions? >> i have a couple of questions.

the tjpa pledge, i couldn't figure out, real quick is that a set amount or is it a calculated amount based on some formula? >> it's a calculated amount. so for all project areas, our three primary project areas, we have a pledge which is the property tax increment governed by a contractual agreement between ocii and the developer and so of that property tax increment in the project area, the gross improve cement is 1% of the total increment and off of that, 20% goes to housing and the remainder to infrastructure. so this calculation is consistent across our project areas that with tjpa, it's pretty much a pass through so we collect as funds and pass it on. >> so that figure could change, though? >> it does change based on the gross property tax increment. >> so is this a high figure comparatively to prior years or

low figure? >> it is higher than the previous year and typically, we do expect our property tax to increase over time. so it is higher this year. >> that makes sense. then on the budget for the oewd, i wanted to know whether the custom census scope that we've talked about. >> i'll let ray take that. >> i'm the contract supervisor. we have submitted a work request of oewd in terms of the scope of work and we have not gotten a formal response yet but the initial responses that a meta-study might make more sense with the american community service -- i think it was the

ac, american community survey, which does break down employment and unemployment by zip codes. granted, that is a survey as opposed to natural census. >> the cost is a form of that service included in this figure of .3 million? >> yes. >> so we have enough to cover that expense if. >> that's correct. >> and so my last question on the fte count, are these positions that are not just budgeted but are they currently filled? do we have room? >> these are for our currently-budgeted positions and they are not all filled. >> so there's room? >> yes. >> thank you. >> thank you, vice chair. anybody else? well, this was a workshop and it

almost felt like speed dating, happening to quickly. laugh. [ laughter ] >> but you were very efficient and we like that. so appreciate your efficiency. >> item 6, we have no speaker cards for this item, mr. chair. >> anybody here wishing to speak on public comment. >> seeing and hearing none, madam secretary, next item? >> next order of business is item 7, report of the chair. >> no report. >> the next order of business is item 8, report of the executive director, madam director. >> thank you through the chair. this item, i wanted to talk about the hunter's point shipyard testing and wanted to note that on january 17th, on friday, the mayor, the

supervisor walton received and uc berkley regarding the review of the appropriateness of the testing protocols for parcels a and g at the shipyard. the report concluded that the california department of public health and safety scan on parcel a was appropriate and they also further concluded that the navy's partial work plan and proposed for retesting g was appropriate, so long as epa continues to review the plan. and to the oversight they're required to do. it further recommends any dissemination for development on g cannot be made until all of the retesting data is available for review. supervisor walton will be hosting a community meeting next week on tuesday, january 28th, at 7:00 p.m. at 441 galvez and

experts will give an overview n response to question. just for the record, there is parcel a resident, private meeting and that's also happening this week. and also, i want to note block 8 has a grand opening end of this month and it a mixed-income oriented development and transbay project area and total of 548 residential units, 7,000 neighborhood retail and i know we all had robust conversations about the retail space here. the podium, 80 units of 100% affordable oci units and the market rate with inclusionary housing, 70 out of 350 and a condo out of 118 market rate. so we had cop applicants, two

got in and one was wait-listed and one rejected and then, we also had seven cop residents that applied for the inclusionary and six did not follow up and one was over income and i hope to see all of them and we had provided all of these marketing outcome reports to the commission at a prior date and i hope to see you all. if you haven't received invitations, let us know, but no invitations have gone out to the commissioners, as well. >> thank you, madam director. >> the next order of business is item 9, commissioner's questions and matters. mr. chair? >> any questions? nothing. next item? >> item 10, close session, under california government code,

54956.9, conference with legal counsel for existing litigation offers the city and county of san francisco, number c18 c18-6830sba, northern district of california, complaint filed november 9, 2018, item b, under code 95946, .1 conference with legal counsel for existing litigation, city and county of san francisco versus michael e. johnson, 18-8594, san francisco city and county, complaint filed august 16, 2018. >> thank you. madam secretary, do we have any speaker cards? >> no speaker cards. >> so we have vice chair rosalis who would like to speak about this. >> yes, i need to disclose on the record before we go into closed session that i have a

personal and business relationship with the defense counsel in the second matter. the defense counsel representing michael johnson. >> thank you. >> i would like to ask anybody not directly involved with this matter to please leave the room. >> we are reconvening. there was no action. >> item 11 is adjournment. >> do i have a motion to ajourn? >> the meeting be adjourned. >> i seconder that motion. >> a motion and we got a second. >> meeting is over at 2:40 p.m. thank you very much.

>> welcome to the tuesday, during her 21st, 2020 meeting at the san francisco entertainment commission. i am the commission president. if you are a member of the public and would like to speak, there are speaker forms you can fill out that are located upfront or you can come up when we call you for public comment. we do ask everyone turns off their cell phones are put some on silent, including commissioners and staff.

i want to thank san francisco government tv and media services for sharing this meeting with the public. we will start with a roll call. [roll call] >> all right. the first order of business is general public comment. this is public comment for any item not listed on our agenda. do we have any public comment for nonagenda items? seeing none, public comment is closed. let's get into the regular agenda flow. the next item is number two which is approval of the minutes for january 7th, 2020. do we have a motion to approve the minutes? >> i moved to approve. >> second. >> is there any public comment on the minutes? seeing none, public comment is closed. [roll call]

>> the minutes have been approved. the next item is a report from the executive director. >> thank you and good evening. this meeting, the president asked i provide an update to all of you with where we are at with some of our current projects and goals during quarter three, just so you're all aware of all of the other work going on behind the scenes beside from enforcement and permits that you will hear about tonight. this may interesting to some of you, or maybe you can put the snooze button on for a couple of minutes. but just going through this, if crystal, if you could pull up the powerpoint. there are slides in your binder if you want to follow along. or you could just listen. we have these buckets of goals, five goals in which we tried to link a lot of our work.

so these are relative to our five year goals that we submitted a couple of years ago. in goal number one, free, sustain and support affordable arts infrastructure. we are working with oewd to support and implement the music venue assistance program and this is the sound mitigation funds that we brought up two months ago. you will be receiving your presentation and update from them on march 3rd at a hearing about this. we are really excited to share more about this with our permit holders and we are hoping to educate them at our summit this year about how they can apply. our deputy director is also conducting an entertainment training in march for planners at the planning department which we are excited about. we have never done that before. we're doing that to try to educate them on our permit sites and to help streamline the approval process and to minimize the hours spent on entertainment

approvals. we are also restarting our 11 districts of entertainment program and this is some of which is coming out of our retreat and doing our promotion. we are going where we left off. last year we only did districts one and three. this year we would like to hit all of them if we can beginning with district two in february and we have a couple of dates out there for supervisor stephanie right now. senior analyst rice will be working on putting those together with me. we are exploring grand programs to support businesses that hosed local live music offerings. so ben had also put together another proposal last year that wasn't picked up in the budget. we are hoping potentially this year it will be and we are also hoping we can support that when it comes along. undergo a number two, promoting equity and quality in the industry. the senior analyst is working

together to outline an outreach program to get out in communities and present about our l.l.p. permit in other accessory permits that are easy ways to provide entertainment to communities that are currently lacking arts and entertainment opportunities. under goal three, ensuring public safety and welfare in all neighborhoods. we are planning our permit officer training, which has been a long time coming, but we have a pretty quiet beginning in the beginning of the year right now. we are starting to prepare for that to occur before the end of the fiscal year. that is something that the deputy director will be managing , but we will all play a role in presenting to the permit officers and captains, and hopefully also a.l.u. if you'd like to attend, i'm sure that would give us some credit as well. the training will focus on enforcement and incident management involving

entertainment venues and events. i am also working closely with the deputy director assessing potential changes to not only municipal police codes but sections of admin codes that are relevant to the department. we are hoping to improve our enforcement in some of the other issues that we have run into along the way. our next step, because it's kind of a massive amount of language and a lot of it is, frankly old and convoluted, is to bring this to a small working group of commissioners and a couple have already expressed interest including commissioner thomas and others. from there, we will share with the city attorney and hopefully have it be considered in the legislative process for fiscal year 20222021. -- 2020-2021. this is a really big one for me. i think everything that we do we should educate the public and

our constituents about. it should never be a surprise. so you will kind of see education as a theme throughout all of this. some of the specific ones are the annual summit which i am going to pick a date very soon. this year i am very thankful to have the support of senior analyst rice and helping me event plan. we are looking at the end of april 2020. we will send around a calendar to you soon. we're looking at exploring the topic of homelessness and public safety and how it relates to our entertainment venues and events, but we are open to ideas. i have a lot of other little ideas that we can definitely discuss. and for consideration by oewd in the next fiscal year, we had presented an idea to director torres last year about considering it workforce program

that would provide great -- job training to industry workers and early and mid level careers as well as preprofessional young adults. he thought it was a fantastic idea, but it wasn't fully baked at the time and we were already past the budget cycle. so this is something we want to push for again. this is fun if you can, please save the date for our holiday party, which we have already scheduled. it will be in lieu of our first december hearing and december 1 st, 2020, and it will be at great american music hall. this will be a really great one since we have so many months to plan, and i'm hoping our 11 districts of entertainment can culminate in this big party. and finally, goal number five, improve regulatory coordination and customer experience. as you all know, both senior analyst rice and my time were

widely taken up over the past six months in a very invigorating process with other city departments around how we support special events. this came out of a mayoral directive that was issued in july. we are finally at the editing phase of the report that we are going to be sharing with all the committee members and the mayor in the next few weeks. so we will be having a presentation from ben who was one of the working group cochairs and julian johnson who wrote the report. she is from the permit center team. i believe that is scheduled for march 3rd. february 18th. there you go. you will be hearing about it very soon. we are continuing to work closely with digital services agencies who have been amazing in integrating all of the permit applications into a digital,

user-friendly format that crystal has greatly appreciated. it has improved and made her processes much more efficient. so we are excited to say the soundtrack permit, which was our last piece, was great in getting that towards the finish line. we will have all of our one-time event applications live online within the next week. this doesn't include our southeast permit for one night dances, but stay tuned as that is likely going away. we are also working with them, just so you know, many other city agencies rtas were doing the same a transitioning our website over to a new platform. we will have this beautiful new landing page that you will see in the coming weeks and jordan has been working hard on making that happen. last two notes, we are

digitizing and archiving all of our paper permit files, which is a beast of a project. the deputy director has been managing that process and she has recruited help from both jordan and lynn to archive our paper permits. we are about 800 permits in. that is fantastic. we still have many more to go. once that is all done, we will get everything sent over to be scanned and digitized into a backend system that will you will all have access to and we will not be bringing paper files to our move to van nuys, which is our last bullet point. it is happening and of summer and beginning of fall for our office, although it is tough to have an opening. we will invite you to the opening party, as i am sure will be part of planning it and enjoying it. if anyone wants to join me for a

tour of the new building in the coming months, let me know. that is it. >> i have one. good evening. regarding the move to 49 van ness, and this could be completely ridiculous, but was there any thought of putting commission rooms there? could we do hearing is there or will everything come back here? >> we will remain in city hall. they don't have hearing rooms, they have large -- >> a three-story, brand-new building. they could have. it seems like with all the agencies there, it would have been a great opportunity to build out a modern technology room to actually -- >> you don't like mating and c.d. -- in city hall? >> i love it. but the spirit of making this easier for clients, our taxpayers, people generating the revenue, that would have been an opportunity to do just that. >> i will follow-up. i could be wrong. >> we are at early stages. >> we are preparing by buying

evening a carrying thing for crystal so we could bring all the things of the street. rainy days like today will not be part of your binder. maybe we will digitize your binders by that time. >> maybe we will get laptops by that time. >> we will get everyone laptops. [laughter] >> thanks. >> no problem. >> have you put any thought into where you will have the 2021 and 2022 holiday party? >> absolutely. >> that's great. >> we are planning through the decades. we can talk off-line. >> thank you for the update. is there any public comment on the executive director's report? public comment is close and we will move onto the next item which is number four, which is a report from our deputy director. >> thank you. good evening, commissioners. we will go ahead and go through

the enforcement reports. i have highlighted the notes here in yellow. starting on page one, i want to mention 26. i bring this up because we are still receiving complaints from the same neighbor and we are continuing to monitor this location every weekend and work with sfpd station and supervisor ronan's office. i have spoken with the complainants complainant directly and we have a meeting scheduled with the owner and sfpd mission station representatives coming up at the end of january to resolve this ongoing issue. if you flip to page five, i i've highlighted the independence and -- the independent and i want to bring to your attention, we did receive some sound complaints about the independence of we have been responsive to this location. upon investigation from our enforcement team, we have found the independent and complains about their sounds limit.

we are continuing to monitor this location, but we have determined that the neighboring place of entertainment, emporium , has also been having d.j.s or did upon the last complaints. that was determined it may actually have been a different location. and the director, is there anything you'd like to say about that? >> did you mention the neighboring business that is not in the entertainment business that may be generating complaints? >> we have discovered that there is band practice occurring on the corner of the block in an auto body shop. that does generate a lot of sound, as you can imagine -- >> the doors were open? >> it's a full band going through band practice. we are addressing this holistically and we will keep you apprised of that.

the last note that i have is on page 10 and that is about beauty bar. we did issue a notice of violation for beauty bar. as you recall, we did bring them back into hearing to amend their permit conditions and so we did a follow-up site visit to see if they were abiding by any of those permit conditions and we did find them out of compliance with quite a few of them. we did issue a notice of violation and we will continue to see how they are doing with those permit conditions. that is all i have highlighted. i'm happy to answer any questions you might have. just let me know. >> very brief, and you may not know the answer. i'm looking at may's on polk street. do we know what the 311 complaint was? if we don't, it's not an end all it's just in your brief narrative and it responded to a 311 complaint. i'm leading -- leaning towards noise or something, but i was

just curious. we can follow up off-line if you don't have it. >> the complaint was tracked in the previous enforcement report and we didn't have time to follow-up between that report and now. we are falling up to the previous complaint. i believe it just said loud noise. >> gotcha. thank you nice report. >> i did have one question about bottom of the hill. i know bottom of the hill had new developments. we ascertained the noises coming from one of the newer developments. >> is coming from an older building. it it's not a new development. >> perhaps the same complainant as last time that has been following up on that complaint. >> they have all been anonymous so we believe based on the

language they are coming from the same person. >> all right. thank you very much. is there any comments on the deputy director's report? we can move along to agenda item number five, which is hearing and possible action regarding applications for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment commission. i will ask -- ask the deputy director to introduce the items on the consent agenda for this evening. that is it. >> thank you. we just have a one permits on the agenda -- we just have one l.l.p. permit on the consent agenda this evening. it is an accessory use permit. there was no opposition and mission station approved this permit with no added conditions. i'm happy to answer any questions if you have any.

>> i don't have any questions specifically. >> move approval of the consent calendar. >> i second. >> is there any public comment on the consent agenda? public comment is closed. [roll call] >> congratulations, it has been approved. please follow up with our deputy director at your earliest convenience. good luck. all right. now we can move onto the regular agenda, which our deputy director will also introduce. >> the first permit on the agenda is the change in ownership for a place of entertainment permit for that karaoke previously known as kate not karaoke. the space has been a karaoke

business since 2010. the new owner has experience in the karaoke businesses he previous they operated a location in the south bank. intent -- he intends to run the businesses a karaoke venue and does not have a liquor license at this time. the applicant submitted letters to stakeholders in the community and distributed copies of the informational flyer included in your file for surrounding businesses. the owner has also been attending the park sight sums that meeting. the station approves this permit with no added conditions. and here to tell you not more is the owner. >> good evening, commissioners. 870 tara vale street was owned by wendy's saying and she had it from 2010 to just recently. johnson purchased the business,

contacted me and said, i have to go through process, do you want to help me out? i said if you listen to me, you will be in good shape. this guy listens. first i said you have to be a fabric of the community. let's go talk to the people at parkside and let's canvass the neighbors. he will talk to everybody that lives within the 500 feet of this proximity. also there is a property owner whose mom owned two businesses there who used to be with the p.d. and he wants to make sure his neighbors are safe. i wrote him a nice letter telling him if he had any questions that we are open to comment. the other thing is, we also wanted to cut the policy sheet -- to a couple policy changes. at some point we may want to pursue a beer license, but that

is not something that will be given easily. they want to have every patron sign a form there is no i didn't know. everybody that he hires, including himself, will have a guard cart. you can't have enough education going along with your employees and everything else. third thing, is, some of the other neighbors said they were worried about the transients because we have a fire exit and sometimes there is people there.

[indiscernible] >> i do all the cosmetic construction there. just cosmetic things. and i bring the new system there

the sound improvements is all brand-new. the sound selection has all the touchscreen right there. it's very fancy. it's very easy to use. >> also, commissioner, we did have a sound test. there would be a limit by whatever is done by the sound inspector and we will follow that. >> all right. i just want to see if there is a new sound system. is it capable of being louder? are these rooms -- do you meet them at the door? >> they have the windows for transparency. you don't hear anything about -- outside. the way the building is constructed. and currently above it is for lease. there is nobody living above it. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you for coming in. you said there is some cosmetic changes that you made to.

if it was needed, we would have done it, but it is not. >> can you give us an update on your neighbor outreach? not just businesses, but actual residence. >> one thing good is she is getting out in the community and attending events. not just people in the parkside. so just exponentially he has had a lot of residents that live nearby come by and visit the space. they are encouraged by the fact that he has put nice wallpaper up and the rooms are really nice it is a warm and inviting place now. >> finally, can you give us a little bit about your experience and being able to manage the and

entertainment space like this? >> the first thing is safety things. so for -- we need to write a new emergency plan for that. second thing is how to get the communication and be the customer and the community. it's very important. also the neighbor. i need to keep the city for all the neighbors right there. and to do this through the media to make more people know us. that will be all. >> thank you. >> good evening. a few questions about the design of your premises.

the individual rooms, will there be locks on the doors? >> there are currently no rock -- no locks on the doors right now. >> i'm glad you guys conferred on that. >> it will get easier from there it will be okay. what about interior surveillance what do you guys do and as each room have cameras? >> we will put surveillance cameras in. that is for our purposes, too. they are just good. my experience with them is by having those, you're protecting yourselves even from your own employees sometimes and the general public. if there is an incident, we want to know what happened before, during and after. we will share those. if that needs to be condition, we have no problem with it. >> no, no, i am just trying to understand. as i recall, you have a lifetime of experience in that neck of the woods. you're putting your name on the line here. >> if there is litter in front of the building, he has the

broom in his hand. >> gotcha. and then, you definitely have some intrigue when you mentioned to me about everyone will come in and sign a document. i'm curious if you are doing that in your location or if that location has alcohol. it doesn't have alcohol? >> is it effective? >> yes, but he because he also takes i.d. we also want to let people know it's accountable. >> i get it, but even me coming from a law enforcement side, i can see pushback. it's a bit of a set. i'm not rejecting it. do you get people every now and then who aren't comfortable signing this? and then what happens? >> you just have to have a nice conversation. and we need to protect the interest of the establishment. we have all been around and there are people who sometimes

we'll try to sneak something in. >> sure. >> you just have to tell them, hey, this is not tolerated here. >> okay. wow. thank you very much. >> i don't have any questions. thank you very much. you can have a seat. let's start with public comment. is there any public comment on this item? seen none, public comment is closed. >> thoughts? dreams? motion to approve? [laughter]. >> second. [roll call] >> congratulations. your permit has been approved. please follow up with the deputy director at your earliest convenience. >> best of luck. >> onto the next one.

>> the next permit is for an extended hours permits for the midway located at 900 marin street. midway has held a permit since 2015. they currently host d.j.s, live bands and host events. they are playing for them to have entertainment daily until 6:00 a.m. until -- instead of applying for one-time permit. the a.g.m. e-mailed the seven surrounding businesses introducing themselves, sharing their plans for the permit and offering to answer any questions from the neighbors. there is a copy of the e-mail in the file. there was no opposition for this permit in the station approves the permit with the condition that they send their monthly calendar of events to the station, which is something they already comply with with their permit. here to tell you more is the owner. and the assistant general manager. >> thank you so much.

good evening, commissioners. as the report stated, i have been operating since 2017. prior to that we had a couple of years where we were trying to keep the lights on while the planning department had their way with us. so we pulled one day permits for entertainment and public document -- occupancy to do events. all in all, around four years of operating at the location. it has been great. we get along fabulously with our neighbors and when we were planning for the place of entertainment, we initially applied for the after hours, but at the behest of bayview station , we dialled it back and did not want -- they wanted us to take a bite of the apple and

get it down and then apply for the after hours. here we are. >> i have a quick question. on the application it says you want to go 6:00 p.m., but it says indoor and outdoor. we are not doing outdoor? >> we are not. we have a patio where we do have a mobile sound system and we bring it up on the large events. it's very rare that we ever go past this. >> do you want to have the leeway to have an outdoor system at 4:00 a.m.? >> they always apply for a one-time permit. >> i think the regulations or the interpretation has changed. for outdoors, there is a one-time application. >> you always do the one time -- pardon me, i was not part of this application process.

did you amend your application to include outdoor for this? >> i thought it was already included. >> no. you apply for a one-time for the outdoor. you may be back here and we may want to include your outdoor because that way you wouldn't have to get one times for that. >> that would be fantastic. we recognize this is a very short-term thing. sooner than later we will have neighbors around and that party will end. >> we haven't had any issues. >> no. there is literally no residents around. the only residents that are there are there illegally. >> okay. >> also they party. [laughter] >> that is all i have. >> thank you for coming in. >> thank you. >> i had a chance to visit your venue during the olympics. a very impressive venue.

it's big and i did see the area and everything. thank you for coming in. it says you intend to gather support from neighboring businesses. can you give us an update on that? >> we didn't actually gather any support, but we definitely reached out to everyone. if you would like, we can stuff the files and follow-up tonight or tomorrow and give everybody a template. please support us and sign it and send it along. >> it's just businesses. >> it's kind of nice. >> i did notice it's dark on that on the side streets. >> we just installed the floodlights. >> commissioner lee will like that, too.

>> our locksmith will hate it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> we are good to go. >> good evening. what is your biggest challenge in operating this place? midway is a pretty unique model for what we see going on right now. >> that was the concept out of the gate. we wanted to be different. we have all of a sudden the nightclub thing for a long time. we wanted to really try to do a space that incorporated other stuff. it has been reinventing the wheel.

there has been a bunch of things that have been tricky, but we have been tackling them one at a time. the places running really, really well. we just brought in an old friend of mine who very recently retired from the forest to force to help with the security function. there is a guy who worked in the attack. he lives and breathes logistics. he will with our guys into shape it has been nice not having to think about those things. >> we are looking forward to be seeing this person brought online. one thing about this place that intrigued me is it really is four 25. wonders if you're transient -- if he challenges would be transient like -- nightlife.

>> anytime there is a camper on knock on the door and i introduced myself. i asked people to say, hey,, what is your agenda, what is your timing? when are you moving on? generally speaking, most of the time when you are nice to people they are nice back. sometimes they are not. i'm pretty consistent and i tend to explain, hey,, i don't know -- i don't have an issue with you being parked here, not a big deal, but in a couple days, there will be another and then three more than it will be an issue because we all know what happens with the encampments and all of that stuff. generally speaking when you call people out on their things right to their face, they kind of have no choice but to acknowledge it. we -- that was a huge challenge initially. >> it was pretty unattended area >> i had a dude put a machete on

me. no exaggeration, a machete. and then when they finally went, they left several mounds of who with needles stuck in them. >> wow. >> i didn't think to take a picture. i am kicking myself to this day. i was starting to regret my question. >> to wrap this up, i do want to applaud any time you actually engage the community, whatever that community may be as an owner. you really can make a difference versus some people tend to not want to be very direct and engaged and then they start reaching out to city services. it's just not what the city is good at. i think any time you have a personal vested interest and you attach your face to the problem, i think it is a lot more successful. >> we are very much self-sufficient. positively. it is way easier for us to deal

with it then for the p.d. because -- yeah. >> i look forward to hearing about this mystery employee of yours. >> contractor. >> that's right. >> i don't think we can afford folks like that just yet. >> i don't have any questions. you can have a seat. thank you very much. >> is there any public -- i'm sorry. >> i just have a question for staff. >> is there any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> it looks like sfpd and bayview station recommended a condition of monthly calendar events, but they are already doing that. is that correct? it would be redundant to add that. it's not necessary to add if it's already happening. >> i wanted to include the recommendation. it will be already -- it's

already existing. >> it is an existing condition and this is a whole new permits. i think it is valid to adopt that tonight as a condition of the extended hours permits. they are separate documents. i wanted to just note, since i went through the file about the outdoor question, it's a little bit unfortunate because they did note in their packet that they do outdoor and they are applying for that as part of this. it's something i would love for you all to consider tonight and just adopting the standard, but since this is on the agenda and an extended hours permits, we cannot do that tonight because this would have to be on the agenda as an amendment to the place of entertainment allowing for that 10:00 p.m. >> where do we go from here? >> they don't even need to reapply. they don't need to get approvals from p.d. and planning. they would need to post an amendment sign for 30 days and come back to hearing it. it should be pretty quick

because we could just offer the standard language for code into a sound test if they are open to it. >> would it make any sense to continue tonight and do it all at once? >> i would like to get them there extended hours permit. >> no worries. >> absolutely. >> i make a motion to approve with the good neighbor -- good neighbor policy and bayview station's recommended condition of monthly calendar of events to be sent to them. >> do we need to do note that this is indoor only? or is it understood? >> i will second the motion. [roll call] >> your permit has been granted. congratulations. follow-up with our deputy director at your earliest convenience. >> good luck.

>> good luck always sounds a little ominous. >> i think the police need to say something. >> i magnus they have a good day >> you could say good tidings. [laughter] >> i want to know about the mystery employee or contractor. >> the next item... >> the final permit as a place of entertainment, change in ownership permit for brick and mortar. they have held a permit since 2012 and recently underwent an ownership change, maintaining one of the previous owners on the new team. under the new ownership team, the venue will continue hosting life music. it is important to note the previous permit had restrictions on days and times of entertainment, but the new owners are seeking to have entertainment daily until 2:00 a.m. in your file is a copy of a letter the applicants posted around the area! blaming the venue is under new

ownership and extending a community gathering. there was no opposition for the permit and mission station approved the permit with no added conditions. here to tell you more, i'm not sure who is coming up is the owner, michael rosen. >> good evening, commissioners. i think our main goal is to provide music to the mission district and to keep doing that. it's worth saying that one of our top priorities is forging new relationships, both with the entertainment commission and with our neighbors and, you know , one of the ways we did that was opening our doors to invite people to come and voicing concerns. unfortunately, nobody came, but we are hoping that we can have more of a direct dialogue with

anybody who has any concerns. we kept one of the partners from the previous business because nobody knows san francisco entertainment better than michael and he will continue doing the booking. barry smith is day-to-day operations. he also runs the crafty fox which is a restaurant on the corner and really, for brick-and-mortar, we are looking to get a new sense of goodwill in the community. forged a new relationships, maybe some initiatives that can communicate a different approach to running the business then has been in the past. that is kind of where we are coming from. >> there hasn't really been any

physical change. just tightening things up. >> we did board up and seal the window in front of the venue. we use accordion -- it used to be an accordion. there's a lot of sound leaking out of the building. so we have that sealed. i think it helped a lot. we had jordan come and do the sound abatement test and it showed some results. then we just had the floor redone in the kitchen anticipating a health and building inspection. >> it has been a while, since way back when, but there was a neighbor that was on the other side of that wall. is that still reinforced? it hasn't been an issue for a long time. we haven't heard anything from brick-and-mortar. then again, you are not doing every day. now you are doing it every day, has that changed? >> as far as --

>> either the same soundproofing or better? >> we have reinforced as much as we can on the backside of the building because we are very cognizant of the fact that there's residences along the alley and any complaints we do get generally come from back there. we're pretty sure there is one particular resident that we would love to open a dialogue with, but until such time as they report with their name and not anonymously, it will be kind of hard. it's one of the reasons why we open the doors. >> okay. >> thank you. >> very briefly, i wanted to acknowledge because i thank you were a little dismissive that no one showed up at your meeting. i think extending the olive branch is a great tell on your part that you made an effort. i think that is the most important part because it is not uncommon to put the effort into the fliers and nobody shows up,

but you did it, and i want to applaud you for that. >> thank you. >> thank you for coming in. on your application it says that you are fixing one window. can you give us a status report? >> it's what i can refer to -- what i kind of referred to earlier. there is a window that previously was sort of cut into the front of the building and created an open air louisiana, mardi gras kind of thing. it wasn't great for san francisco city street entertainment. we just hired somebody to come seal that up a couple of weeks ago. that is done. we had that done prior to jordan coming out. >> his completed? >> yes. >> thank you. >> i don't have anything lengthy to say, but it's great you posted a community meeting. i can imagine that if people

have felt that they have not been heard in years that it may take a little more than that to connect with them. it is a great first step. i am not familiar with the history of your neighbor, so this is a conjecture on my part, but i have had experience many times when people purposely avoid meeting because they are angry and they are not ready to talk and unfortunately, as the venue owner, you kind of have to continue to reach out and be the better person or the person who doesn't engage in that. i would just encourage you, if you do think there is one neighbor, maybe a personal letter or some way to reach out to them, certainly if you hear from them in your future about music or noise, you may want to go above and beyond. when you're working with this office, i have witnessed that the more you have done to be proactive the better, and people

who just kind of check the boxes , i reached out, now it is not our fault, that doesn't jive with us. you do 99% of the work to get them on your side. i would just encourage that. if you do do that, it is good for you and good for us. everybody wins. >> i appreciate that. we really do good -- would you want good relationships. not just, you know, logistically checking the boxes, but to run a venue in a way that feels good for everybody that lives around it. >> no further questions. you can have a seat. is there any public comment? i don't see any. public comment is closed. >> i want to make a motion. >> no are we keeping the same times or are they changing?

>> this is weekdays at 12:30 p.m. and then fridays and saturdays at 1:00 p.m. >> the application submitted tonight is to have entertainment daily until 2:00 a.m. >> all right. >> you are starting from scratch , if you will. >> okay. i don't have a problem. do you? >> i make a motion to approve on the new times and the good neighborhood policies, and of course, continuing soundproofing and working with your neighbors. >> so what is the motion? >> we were doing great. >> the motion is to approve the permit with the new hours until 2:00 a.m. >> and the staff recommendation. >> i really never read the staff recommendation because it's always the same stuff. [laughter]. >> no, it isn't.

>> i always agree with you. >> the staff recommendation is totally worth reading. [laughter] >> when is the staff recommendation? >> i'm glad you tested me. [simultaneous talking] >> motion to approve the permit with staff conditions and the good neighborhood policies, new hours. >> the motion is approval was staff conditions. >> yes. >> i said that. >> i will second that if that is your motion. >> yes. that is my motion.

[roll call] >> congratulations. you haven't been approved. >> i'm afraid to say good luck but i forgot to say it. >> that is old-school. >> all right. the final agenda item is commissioner comments and questions. i would like to acknowledge that i believe it's this thursday -- is that this thursday? >> the executive director's birthday and that means -- >> it is a weeklong celebration.

that means her birthday is this -- her we can't -- this weekend is her birthday weekend. >> now it is a birthday month? [laughter]. >> happy birthday from oliver i'm hoping you acknowledge me at the february hearings. >> we will continue acknowledging you. also, we lost a great san franciscan this week. the executive director had a close relationship with her and her family and she wanted to say some words. we would love to hear your thoughts. >> it is a little bit funny to go from laughing so hard to something that is pretty sad, but terrence was a very funny human and so that makes it okay. i just wanted to close this evening's hearing in his honor. he was a former member of the

board of supervisors and district attorney for san francisco and he passed away this past friday, january 17th he was a dedicated and progressive public servant who loved the city with his whole heart, given grit and passion to
