[roll call] >> meeting minutes have been approved. the next agenda item is number 3, which is a report from executive director weiland. >> good evening officially, commissioners. hope you all had a good weekend and a happy valentine's day?

just wanted to update you on a couple of things this evening. first of all, just take a moment to share some significant items on the health order that will take effect on february 16. in the copy of the report, you'll see a copy of the e-mail blast that dylan sent out last week. starting tomorrow, and in alignment with the state, san francisco and eight other counties will lift mask requirements from most indoor public settings for patrons and staff. in terms of our city, this includes bars, restaurants, and indoor venue events. masks are still strongly recommended, but restaurants

may determine their path going forward and may choose to require masks. individuals over age two are still required to wear masks in all indoor public settings, and masks are still required in public transit, child care settings, as well as congregate settings. showing proof of vaccination or negative covid tests is still required to enter restaurants, bars, gyms or other places where food is served or excessive breathing is concerned. if you have any questions, please take a moment to ask questions, and either myself or deputy director rice will answer. >> any questions? >> okay.

i will move on with your permission, president bleiman, to update you all on a very exciting announcement. as you know, we have been a bit short staffed for quite sometime, and just this last week, we welcomed the board two new teammates to the entertainment commission who you will see on zoom tonight, so we're very excited to have both of them. maile comes to us from film s.f., which is my previous department prior to the entertainment commission, so we were colleagues at that time. may -- i'll let you tell her more about her in just a second. also welcoming aboard andrew, who is our newest [indiscernible] inspector. we're very, very excited because we'll have a robust enforcement team out in the field. andrew already had his first shift this weekend and has just hit the ground running.

very excited to have them both aboard, but i just wanted to take a moment during my director's report to welcome them and for them to just introduce themselves to you. may, do you want to kick us off and tell people a little bit about you. before we get started, i wanted to say this was my last time doing roll call. may will be taking over next meeting. >> thank you so much, maggie, and hello to the commissioners. my name is may, and as maggie mentioned, i am coming to you from the film commission. i actually was the secretary there and have been doing that pretty much my entire tenure of almost eight years, so i do have a lot of experience doing this but obviously, with each commission, there are new things to learn and also new people to get to meet, so i'm

very excited to learn more from you and how to best serve you or your staff in making everything go smoothly. i'll also be doing some of the one-time permits, so dylan has been really amazing in training me on some of those things, so i'll also be taking a look at that, as well. personally, as most of the other staff members are, i'm actually also involved in arts here in the bay area, so i'm actually a freelance threater director, and i'm also the artistic director of an asian american theater company in the area? we mostly focus on theater and playwrights. to move beyond my presentation and tell more inclusive stories of the asian diaspora, so that is what it is, and it is my

passion in life. i really look forward to gaining new nothing and experiencing in my time here, and i thank you in advance for your patients and your guidance as i'm learning how to basically be your new commission secretary and take care of business. >> and let's have andrew tell us a little bit about himself. >> thank you, maggie. my name is andrew, and i'm the new inspector with the entertainment commission. i have a long background in music and entertainment. as a musician myself, i've worked doing production work and event production. i also have a lot of experience doing photo production here in the city of san francisco. i also have experience that

pertains to this position from working in night clubs as security detail? super excited to be a part of this organization. i've had a really good time so far, and really excited to serve this beautiful city of san francisco. it's nice to meet you all. >> as you can see, i am very happy, along with, i think, the rest of the staff, so welcome board, you two. thank you so much, and i'll just hand it back to the commissioners in case you have any questions or comments. >> thank you. i would just say congratulations. you both have amazing resumes. good luck. we're here to support you if we can. >> yep. >> welcome. >> i'm looking forward to some of your theatric work.

i used to be an active part of the asian theater back in the day, but i hope you can restart it. >> i'll talk with you more about that offline. >> to inform you, may is working on a production right now, and there are some shows this weekend, in in case anyone wants to go. >> all right. well, welcome to both of you, what a joy, and i just wanted to thank the existing staff for having stepped up for so long during this time that we have been understaffed, and that includes deputy azevedo who

took some time off to have a baby, but i'm excited to see what we can accomplish now. thank you for joining us and thank you to the existing staffer for your hard work. any other reports from executive director weiland? that's it? >> yep. >> all right. and then, we will open this up to public comment. >> operator: i'm going to flash the slide for a few seconds. all right. i'm checking, and there are no hands raised and no comments in the chat box. >> all right. we'll close public comment. the next agenda item is number 4, which is a report from deputy director azevedo. >> thank you, president bleiman. good evening, commissioners. very excited about the announcements the new staff and

inspector joining the team, and like maggie said, he's already had his first shift in the field. super excited. my report is short this evening. we did receive 30 reports since the last hearing, but many complaints were mitigated on-site or they required follow up by educating a neighbor or bringing a business into compliance by having them apply for a permit. the one update that i have do is about an enforcement visit to amsterdam cafe, and this is located across the street from edinsburgh castle pub. amsterdam employees always maintained that they never had entertainment, and we were never able to verify if they had entertainment until this past weekend. inspector fiorentino spoke with the neighbor and then visited

the business this past weekend. he visited the business at 7:00 p.m., and there was no entertainment, but the bartender did say that they just hired a guitar player for outdoor entertainment. he learned that the owner was sitting outside in the parklet, so he continued the conversation with the owner, and unfortunately it didn't go very well as the owner was pretty dismissive of the information about needing a permit, so i reached out to the owner directly myself today? i was unable to get ahold of them on the phone, and i did send an e-mail. we will continue to visit and reach out to the visit as they do require both a j.a.m. permit

and l.l.p. or p.o.e. for their indoor entertainment. that's all i have, but i'm happy to answer any questions that you may have about the report. >> questions? all right. well, i don't have anything specifically to bring up. i'm sure that a nice conversation between you and the owner of that place will help to set things straight, and i'm sure we'll get them into compliance shortly, and i figure it is sometimes a learning experience for people who are unaware of our process, so we'll try and give them the benefit of the doubt for the time being. any public comment on this

agenda item? >> operator: i am checking, and there is none. >> all right. let's close public comment, and we'll move onto the next agenda item, which is number 5, which is hearing and possible action regarding applications for permits under the jurisdiction of the entertainment commission, and i will ask deputy director azevedo to introduce the item on the consent agenda for the evening. >> thanks, president bleiman. we don't have one item on the consent agenda. it's a limited live performance permit for community arts stabilization trust. the only added conditions for sfpd are standard, and they are listed below on the memo that i

provided. the staff recommendation is for commission to vote to approve the permission per staff agenda and to impose the recommended sfpd conditions. >> any questions about this one? all right. is there any public comment on this agenda item? >> operator: checking, and there are no hands raised, and there are no comments in the chat box. >> okay. then i believe we can entertain motions here. >> i'd like to make a motion to -- to approve the consent agenda with recommendations from the staff and sfpd. >> second. >> thank you. all right. we can vote. >> clerk: okay. [roll call]

>> all right. congratulations. that has been approved, wherever you are, and please follow up with staff at your earliest convenience for next steps. i'll ask staff to introduce the next item which is first on our regular agenda. >> thank you, president bleiman. this is actually going to be presented to you this evening by senior analyst wright. we'll pass the microphone to him. >> thank you, deputy director azevedo. >> for the record, that did say that in the script. i went off script.

i went rogue. >> i was going to say, i thought i wrote that. >> yes, yes. >> so good evening, everyone, and just for the record, i am so thrilled myself and andrew are joining the team. where am i? so tonight, we are hearing from valencia corridor merchants association. this organization is applying for a j.a.m. music permit to allow them to hold outdoor entertainment and amplified event every other saturday starting on february 6 and running until june 5. it's called the valencia street art corridor and it will be hosted been an emcee.

there will be one stage that will be rotating on different blocks each day, but they are requesting the flexibility to add more performance areas along the event footprint if they're able to secure additional sponsorship. they are expecting 400 attendees per day. given this is a first-time event, and given the potential sound impacts this event could have on the surrounding neighborhood, director weiland recommended that this application be reviewed by the seven-member commission. so you'll see in your folder their j.a.m. permit application, their site plan, their proof of neighborhood outreach, which is highlighted in yellow on the site plan. those were the areas that were targeted, and then, a copy of the m.t.a. street closure

permit for valencia street. we did not receive any permission from mission station within the response window, so we assume they have no issues with the permit. here to speak to you is lauro gonzalez, organizer of the event, and the recommendation is standard policy and good neighborhood j.a.m. conditions. a copy of those conditions are also in google folder. so lauro, i'm going to bring you in right now. so lauro, if you can hear me, please unmute yourself right now. >> hello, everyone. my name is lauro gonzales, and i work with the valencia corridor merchant association

managing the street closure and also developing an art program in order to activate the streets and bring [indiscernible] to the businesses during the closure. thank you. >> thank you. >> lauro, can you tell us a little bit more about some of the music you're going to have there, some of the musicians? i think we understand kind of the general idea of it, but i would like to just -- i think we'd all like to hear a little more, so where we're going to be, what kind of permit is it?

>> we'll just be rotating the events on different blocks, and we'll be playing the music 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. talking about the event, it's very modest, to be honest we don't have big sound equipment. we have, like, two speakers, one woofer, one mixer, microphones. we don't have a stage. it's, like, ground level, and we are featuring bands, but they are not very loud. it's something more chill for

communities to enjoy and have a good time. we definitely don't want to pull in a concert or something that brings, like, huge amounts of people, you know, but yeah, that's what we're doing. >> any questions? >> this is your first festival, right? this is the first time you've tried to do this? >> i have done four in the past from october to december? little bit more modest than this one, i would say? couple of artists and musicians, but definitely not full lineups, not, like, amplified music at these. >> so you're saying that all

these performances are going to be acoustic? there's no amplification? >> no, for these ones, we're going to have amplifications, but for the ones in the [indiscernible], they are going to be acoustic or using one speaker that the musician was bringing. >> and so the stages, as well as sound reinforcement, are you using those eon power systems or a p.a. on the stage? >> yeah, we'll have a p.a. system. >> and you're hiring, like, a sound engineer or a company that comes in and sets up sound? >> yeah. we are partnering with a music collective, and we have a sound engineer devoted to the event.

>> and so can you tell me, are they all bands? are they deejays? >> so yeah, i am happy to drop in this chat a little lineup with the musicians if that's something that you would like to see, sir? >> no, just an experience of, like, in japantown, when they have their street fairs or their cherry blossom festivals, and they have a hired stage hand and engineer, but the people a few blocks away can hear them, so i'm wondering what are you doing as far as controlling? i know we need to set a limit, but is there any way if it gets any loud from contacting the sound engineer or anything --

what is your protocol? >> yes, no, definitely. my engineer will be fully aware of the sound levels because my best interest is for things to stay and for everyone to have a great experience, so i know that i have love for the [indiscernible] so i am locating the stage -- the stage on this particular one in order to not be on the other ones? to be honest, there's couple of musicians that sometimes they show up in valencia street without permits or without anything, so there's things already happening on this street, i would say, with no j.a.m. permit, but i am always there, making sure that the

level of the music is not loud to disturb anyone. >> so you have a way of monitoring the complaints. >> yeah. >> i will be fully responsible for the levels of the music. >> yeah. okay. so other than what the sound inspectors can do as far as giving you a limit or whatever, i guess we'll just have to wait and see. you know, this is the first time. >> yes. >> okay. no more questions. thanks.

>> good evening. i have a couple of questions for you? so i think if i understand correctly, you'll be rotating different blocks within valencia street every week, right? so the first week is going to be between the 18 and 19. the next week will be in a different location, right? so we're just activating one block at a time? >> yeah, exactly. >> and when you go back to that same location, will it be in the same location, the entertainment area? is it going to be in the exact same location? for example, when you go back to 18 and 19 street, will it be in that same location? >> well, i think in that specific case, i think i will, because in my experience, that location is the best location to do this because it does not bother the other people, and

also, like, because, like, around that area, it is, like, there's not that much neighborhood -- sorry, that's not that much residents around that area. there's a parking lot, appliance store that they usually close, so they're not there at that time. they're fully open, but we have a great relationship with the business around, and they are supporting us, but in the case of other blocks, i always say, i propose to have the stage there, but if i have a complaint or something did or something come up from a resident or from a business, i would like to have the option to change it just in order to satisfy everyone's needs, if that's possible. >> that would be a question to staff.

if the j.a.m. permit is a station area, can you pull it? can someone jump in? >> yeah, i'll take that. in a situation where the event is going to move, we would want them to submit an amended request. >> okay. >> so assuming that j.a.m. permit is approved tonight, they would need to come back and request a change to the location of the stage. >> so right now, your permit is for a specific location on that block. if you want to move it, just let the staff know so they can recommend your permit. >> okay. thank you. >> and i guess it looks like one, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine weekends that you're going to be there. are you going to be the project manager for the sound at every event or are you going to have people under you? >> yeah, so i'm the manager of the event and manager of the street closure, so i'm, like, all the one overseeing and putting all of these pieces together. i definitely play a fundamental role. >> okay. but based on my event to being an event organizer, you're going to be pulled in different directions, so you might need to pull people that are in charge of sounds specifically, so they can make sure that it's not going up. i'm not saying you have to consider that, i'm just saying that you might want to because you're going to be busy the whole day. >> under no circumstances do

you let manny control the sound. he'll just turn it up. that's going to be on the permit. he's not allowed to touch the sound. >> yeah, that will be definitely for a sound engineer and also for the music management, so there's going to be two people there, the sound engineer and the manager of the location, so those two people will be definitely in charge of managing the sound level. and me, too. if people are going kasey, i want to be the one on the first block. >> okay. that's all my questions. thank you. >> thank you. >> other questions? i don't have any specific questions. i'm just so excited about this. i think think -- for years, i've been waiting for things

like this, where we permit -- have larger areas, and really, for me, it's about bringing music and musicians and artists back to san francisco, and they were gone before covid. i don't have any major questions. i'm sure it'll be a work in progress. i know we've got your team and our team working on it. i would encourage you, and you guys have done a very good job with this, but just to, you know, defer on the side of working with people who are neighbors and complaints and just trying to find common ground, and you've already done -- shown that you can do that, so that's not a concern of mine, but i'm excited for this. this is really cool. what a great way to employ a lot of musicians and have fun in san francisco. >> thank you so much for your [indiscernible] and i'm so excited myself, as well. i wanted this to happen so bad,

so i'm thrilled for, like, doing that, but also, i do want to do it in the right way in order for these to stay, you know, like -- i know, like, sometimes oh, like, sometimes the city this and the city that, but i feel, like, we always can find ways to work it out, you know? and i make everyone happy as much as we can, you know, but i feel like, i don't know, doing something did for the community and providing healthy entertainment for them, you know, in these times, covid times, so thank you very much, and whatever i can do or whatever i can do to make this happen, i will definitely do it. >> i think mainly the city is behind you. it's your neighbors that you -- >> yeah. >> -- that you really have to

watch out with and work with. >> yeah, i will. >> all right. so i think that's it for questions. is there any public comment on this agenda item? >> operator: i will flash the slide just for a few seconds. i am checking, and there is none. >> all right. we can close public comment, then. if there's any discussion, please, you know, share it now. otherwise, we can maybe entertain motions. all right. it sounds like no real discussion here. i'm excited about this.

>> i'll motion this. i'd like to make a motion to approve the permit with staff recommendation and good neighbor policy. >> second. >> all right. we can vote. >> clerk: all right. [roll call] >> all right. congratulations. it's been approved, so please just follow up with our staff as soon as possible, and you can work with them on next steps. but this is really cool, and it's cool to be a part of approving a permit for a more creative area than in the past. this is really exciting for me, so thank you. >> thank you so much. >> all right. moving along, somebody is going to introduce the next item, and i haven't checked yet to see

who it is, but i'll just pause for a second, and maybe that person will introduce it. >> thank you, president bleiman. i'm happy to introduce the final permit agenda. >> it says you. >> it does. the final permit application on our regular agenda is a place of entertainment for the southeast community center, 1550 evans avenue, which is scheduled to open in may of this year. this is a brand-new city owned and operated building in the bayview that will provide services to the community, including serving as an indoor and outdoor event rental space. the previous company held a p.o.e. permit with our office. last year, director weiland made a legislative change which eliminated the one-night dance permit from codecode.

this community center will be available to rent for events. their indoor entertainment will not go later than midnight, and their outdoor entertainment or amplified sound will not go later than 10:00 p.m. the applicants conducted neighborhood outreach and submitted eight letters to the surrounding businesses and their vicinity. there was no opposition for the permit. we did not receive a response from bayview station for added conditions. here to speak with you this evening is southeast community center director emily pharr. >> let me bring her in right

now. >> thank you for having me this morning. my name is emily rogers pharr, and i'm here with jason, our facilities manager. i don't know if he was let in, as well, but -- >> i will let him in right now. no problem. >> thank you, and thank you for consideration of our p.o.e. permit this morning. i'd like to thank director weiland and deputy director azevedo for guiding us through this process. the community center is slated to open in early summer, and we

are super excited -- facilitate meaningful programs and services that promote the health, well-being, cultural,

political, and financial empowerment of bayview-hunters point residents. the southeast community center has always been an accessible and affordable event venue for the community. we typically host 300 events annually both indoors and out. we also provide a number of community events and festivals throughout the year that provide live entertainment and resource sharing opportunities. as director azevedo mentioned, having a p.o.e. will eliminate the burden and redundancy that our community has had to engage in order to host their events. the one-night dance permit that was required, so we really appreciate streamlining this

process in the p.o.e. we did send out notifications to local businesses in proximity to the new center. the area is mostly industrial, and because the center is set back off the street with offset parking, we don't anticipate any neighborhood disruption or disturbances have our event. we've worked well with the planning department, of course, the fire department and other agencies, including your commission staff, to offer safe and affordable access amenities. again. thank you for your cooperation this evening, and we hope to join the community shortly.

>> it has a sound system in the pavilion, and then, we will be purchasing sound equipment for the outdoor activities or rent. it's pretty standard state of the art stuff that will allow us to magnify or amplify sound. >> and your staff will be trained to use it? >> absolutely. we'll have dedicated staff to operate it. >> good luck to you. i mean, i had an office on

edmonds street, 1357 edmonds, way back in the day. i don't know why i keep saying that. i must be old or something, but it was right across the street from the post office. >> we're right before you get there. >> it's the area -- >> you're no older than the rest of us. >> the area has grown quite a bit, so good luck to you. >> thank you. >> i think commissioner perez has a question? >> absolutely. >> thank you, president bleiman. hello, emily. welcome. thank you for your presentation. i'm so happy to hear that your new community center is ready and completed. i'm really glad to hear that there's now a dedicated center for the southeast asian community in the bayview? i have a couple of questions.

this is very much an industrial area, but i just want to give you an opportunity to catch us up on any kind of community outreach that you might have done with the neighbors even if they are far away? >> are you talking about the permit? >> yes. you're required to do outreach to the community. >> so the intersection of third and evans is essentially a gait away to the community. very busy high-traffic area. on the third street side, we have two filling stations, two gas stations in the area. it's a super wide street with two lanes in either direction in the area, and then, across the other way is the bayview plaza, the back of bayview plaza, which houses a number of

local shops, star bucks and local bampgs, and there used to be a walgreens there, goodwill, and we reached out to the businesses located there because there are parking, and we want to make sure folks know that we're there but also don't park in that space, and that that parking will be safe, and access to their business will be safe. we reached out to them. and then, across the other way, on our side street, there's an industrial park businesses, and we reached out to those businesses in that industrial park, as well. everyone -- the response was overwhelming. the people were really excited about the new center. they see it as bringing business into the community and business into the space in the neighborhood. >> okay. thank you. my second question is who will

be responsible for managing the sound equipment and the performing artists? i know sometimes artists want to go crazy and perform really loud, so who is that person that's going to be in charge of managing the performing artists or sound equipment? >> so the sound equipment will fall to [indiscernible] who's on the line with us. as far as the event sounds that we're presenting, it would still be jason, but he would work with whoever the event manager is or the coordinator is, which is usually larry berry or someone on my team. if it's a rental, we would work with the reservation or the event coordinator to ensure

that they are following all the rules, and we do have [indiscernible]. >> i have to tell you, i have been following your business for a long time. unbelievable. it is gorgeous. i applaud your folks' work. jason is going to have a lot of work out there. i'm actually with the police department, and we're actually going to be neighbors. we just opened the brand-new

facility at evans and toland. it's not open to the public, but it's our new crime lab but just a couple of quick questions. this first one is actually for staff, and i'm just curious. did we get a floor plan with conditions and locations of security? >> no, we did not, but i think it would be good for miss rogers pharr to describe

security. the location is not indicated because i believe it would be different from event to event. >> maybe if you just pick one of your spaces and just kind of briefly walk us through how you envision the security handling of space. >> so let's say we were having an event. for me, it's more about the reservations that come in from the public. our community would instandly host our well secured rehab, regularly secured for the property and day-to-day, but let's say someone was doing a family celebration, and they were also going to [indiscernible] into the amphitheater for whatever their event would desire. you have to have separate event

security focused on your event, and they would be focused at the main entrance, and then, depending on the size of the event, they would have to have additional staff, and that would include roving the parking lot for security, as well. >> okay. and then, do you -- do you envision kind of having someone from your team interacting with that security group all night long, kind of making sure they're secure? >> we will have entry level staff that would support the efforts in that role, and they would work to coordinate with

security, caterers, all aspects of the event, but definitely so. thank you. >> thank you. well, best of luck. thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. i do got one, one more follow up. how do you go about, on your private events, how do you do your screening or how do you allow people to use your venue? >> so as i mentioned, we're developing an on-line reservation system. previously, we were paper based, which was a little bit maddening. we have some parameters at the southeast community center that helps to set rules, policies, and regulations, so we're actually in the process of updating those rules and regulations for use and priority of use. and essentially, i'll give you an example of where there are

limitations. for example, quinceaneras and birthday parties, they have the biggest possibility to get out of hand, so additional security requirement would be to support the event, we have sometimes asked them to get off duty -- to get police efforts to support the event, and then, if alcohol is involved in the event, we will be asking for insurance waivers and deposits and all kinds of that. we keep -- we don't do reference checks.

that hasn't been in my tenure, but that would be with the organization before i came there. there's a lot of different things at play. not just the safety and security, which is always paramount, but there are other activities on the property going on, so some activities aren't compatible with day use, for example. we don't have loud parties in the middle of the day. >> as long as you're aware of it, your experience, having been through it.

places like the fillmore and the y, they start out at birthday parties, and then, they go another way. >> they grow into other things. >> yeah. i just want to make sure there's some kind of a process. >> yeah, absolutely, absolutely. >> okay. >> and if you think about the fact that we've been doing this in a small center at the 1800 oakdale site for almost 30 years, when we do have small events, they are really annoying. 99 to the billionth percent, infinity, we're sitting up systems and policies in place that encourage good behavior, and i am a firm believer that if you set up a good system and you expect a good time, and you

expect people to behave well, they do. >> okay. yeah. i mean, just be prepared for anything. >> but be prepared. >> exactly. okay. >> dave? >> just a quick question for the deputy director. i think she just went off camera. she's back. is there a staff recommendation on this? i'm just not seeing it in the folder. it's probably me not finding it. >> it's just scroll -- it's just the good neighbor policy, commissioner falzon. staff recommendation is approval with the good neighbor events. >> so i don't have any

questions. everybody covered all the other things. i'm excited about this. it's fantastic. i think it's a new home that's extraordinary. we look forward to hanging out sometimes. thanks for coming in, and you strike me as a sanely competent human being. so with that, i want to go ahead and open this up for public comment here. is there any public comment? >> operator: i'll flash the slide for a few seconds. checking, and there is none. >> okay. we'll close public comment, and we can discuss briefly.

commissioner falzon, it sounds like he may want to make a tweak or include it in his motion. >> i have no discussion. i would just ask that an event calendar be sent over to bayview station to allow the station have eyes on the event. it doesn't have to be part of the amendment, kaitlyn. >> i have a question for you, commissioner. do you recommend that it be sent to the bayview station or should it come to the commission, as well. >> that would be a great idea.

perfect. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. >> i'll second the motion. >> excellent. all right. we can vote. >> clerk: all right. [roll call] >> congratulations on this exciting project. have some live music down there. that sounds great. follow up with our staff for next steps. >> thank you, and you all are invited to our grand opening. if you're interested, contact me, and i'll have my staff reach out. >> thanks, emily. >> all right. moving along. all right.

so the next agenda item is the -- number 6, which is the -- correct me if i am wrong, but i think i got it right -- discussion and possible action to amend the permit conditions of place of entertainment permit, d.b.a. 26 mix located at 3024 mission street, san francisco, regarding incident that occurred friday, january 21, 2022, and deputy director azevedo will present this. >> okay. thank you, president bleiman. so this agenda item is to discuss the homicide that occurred inside of 26 mix on friday, january 21, 2022. in your file, you'll find a copy of the 72-hour suspension for public safety issued by director weiland on january 28. complaint history from 2019 to

present: a timeline of our history with the business, a copy of their p.o.e. permit, including the conditions the business was out of compliance with during the incident as well as their security plan. on january 21, 2022, an altercation happened by the pool tables. the altercation turned into a brawl, and the victim was stabbed in the neck by one of the pool sticks. unfortunately, the victim died from his injuries. the following morning, we were in contact with the managers of 26 mix and the captain of mission station. we strongly encouraged the business to go dark and close for the weekend, which they agreed to do. the following week, we had a meeting with the captain of mission station to go over the details of the incident, and on

january 26, myself, director weiland, and the chief met with the our attorneys and the head of 26 mix. after our meeting, we determined that the business is out of the following conditions. the permit holder failed to comply with the foblg permit conditions. there shall always be a manager on-site during hours of operation who is able to respond to neighbor complaints in real-time. regardless of occupancy, beginning at 8:00 p.m. daily, there must be a minimum of three security inside, and two security outside. on monday through fridays from 4:00 p.m. until closing and saturdays and sundays from 2:00 p.m. until closing, security will perform pat downs, bag checks, and use metal detector wands on all patrons entering and reentering

the venue. we learned that there was no manager on-site, there was only three security guards on-site, and they were not patting down the patrons on-site. during the past four visits by inspector fiorentino, they have been in compliance with their security plan, including patting patrons down upon entering and the required number of security guards on the premises.

at this time, staff are not requesting permit reconditioning, we are asking for the business to comply with their current security plan, which is robust. we did invite mission station captain and officer ortiz to speak this evening. it looks like officer ortiz was here but was not planning on presenting anything. if you have direct questions for him, he may be able to speak. let me know if you have any questions, otherwise, here to speak is tony, as well as their head of security, farouz. >> operator: all right. i see farouz and williams is raising their hand. >> yes, it's william.

okay. i'll go ahead and try it again. >> hello. you're unmuted, and then, farouz, if you want to speak, you'll have to unmute yourself,

as well. >> hello. >> so who's going first? >> my name is [indiscernible] william, and i am one of the managers at 26 mix. on the night of january 21, an incident happened where unfortunately a person lost his

life, and we're truly sorry about the loss. we're trying to comply with the conditions, and we know we weren't compliance with the conditions, and we're really sorry for that. we have implemented a process -- >> william, i apologize. can you back up. i didn't catch why -- something about labor laws. can you start over again? i didn't get that part. >> the reason we failed to comply with the entertainment commission, we were trying to comply with some of the other labor law conditions, but at the same time, we failed to comply with the entertainment commission conditions because

we had one security out with covid. he tested positive with covid, and unfortunately, the company wasn't able to provide another security guard. that was unfortunately, an unfortunate event that happened, but ever since this, we worked with the company to make sure we have four securities. the new plan that we have is one manager for the company will stop by for two hours and allow the company to take their break, and in the event, the manager will will not come to the site, and then, the guards will be take their break or meal time, and they will get

paid overtime. that way, there's someone at all times complying with the entertainment commission. we have [indiscernible] and we're replacing them every six months just to make sure they are working properly. manager, hiring -- we're in the process of hiring two more assistant managers, and that way, if the manager needs to step out for the way to get dinner, lunch, there's someone there. and just to also -- just to mention that even though we're

one guard down, i mentioned a number of customers that we had, we were pretty much in the requirement of the [indiscernible] just mention that. if you have anymore questions about what happened that night, happy to answer. >> go ahead, dave. >> so since william opened the door, why don't you go ahead and explain your version of what happened that night? >> well, there was a group of people. one group was playing pool, and the other one was just hanging around at the end of the pool tables. everything seemed to be fine. you know, seemed like the guys

were there for maybe an hour or so. at one point, one group approaches the other group. didn't seem like much, just one group approaching another group, but in a matter of seconds, a brawl broke out, and that's when, unfortunately, the incident happened. >> and where was your security when this all happened? >> [indiscernible] they were outside of the front door, and one was on break at the time. >> so you had no security inside at the time?

>> [indiscernible] we should also tell the commission that she is in the process of getting her guard card so that way, we have someone that has the guard card, as well. >> so william, let me just share my perspective, as well. it is critical that we have an honest and clear relationship going on. what's a little disheartening and frustrating to me is i'm asking you very direct questions and i'm getting vague questions. this is your opportunity to directly answer the questions. so there was nobody inside the club when this happened? >> correct. >> thank you. so my point is, we can work together if you comply, but my

problem is a drawn-out narrative that becomes a distractor. what we're trying to do is understand what happened that night and figure out what we can do better moving forward, and i think that's a reasonable productive approach. that's why it's important, when we have this conversation, to recognize where you came up short. so the bottom line is, based on your security conditions, you were not properly staffed for security that night, and no one was inside the club. what i need to know is, moving forward, that you are complying with your security plan, and even though we know what the security plan is, your plan is

a little different. i heard you saying you're planning on hiring additional managers, so my question is, if you're not appropriately staffed, are you planning on closing until you are? >> we already have a person that knows a lot of the procedures. he's worked there about two, 2.5, three years, and we're going to promote him to assistant manager, and we're looking at hiring another assistant manager. >> okay. let me just stop. farouz, were you there that night? >> no. >> okay.

are you the owner of the third party security guard company? >> yeah. >> have you been working with 26 mix for a while? >> yeah, we've been working with them for a long time, about five years. >> okay. so you clearly know the footprint of the place -- >> clearly know exactly what happened, and i can give you whatever information you need have me. >> well, i mean, what i just need to hear tonight from both of you is that there's a commitment to be fully staffed, because honestly, farouz, what i want to ask you is how long you've been out of compliance and when is the last time you staffed the premises to full staffing, but i've got to be honest, what happened is not relevant to our form, and i just want to make sure that the

place is secure going forward. >> yeah. i've added two staff, and it's really hard time to find guards that are reliable. especially on friday nights, they call off. but especially with the situation with 26 mix, we're over staffed, and we're not going understaffed to the location. >> well, i think for a period of time, overstaffing's not a bad idea. it's great for customers -- >> no, it's not, and that's exactly what i told tony william there. we need to be over staffed, we need to make the customers feel a little bit more coming back to this place. >> yeah. >> if the customers are not feeling safe, that's my main concern, is making sure from

here on out, everybody is in compliance and making sure that the customers are excited. >> as you know, farouz, it's all about the optics, and a strong security presence is going to make more money for the club and keep people coming back. let me pause my commenting and get some feedback or comments from my commissioners. >> [indiscernible] and farouz, you're the owner of the place? >> no, i'm the owner of the security company. william is the manager of the -- >> william is the owner of the -- >> no, i'm the manager. >> you're the manager. so where is the owner? >> the owner is sick at the

moment, so he had to fly to mexico where he can see his regular doctor. he tried to make it here tonight, but he's not able to make it. his language barrier, as well, is an issue. he only speaks spanish, so he allowed me to speak on behalf of the club and, you know, we're relaying all the information back to him. >> so my question, is maybe to talk to the owner, i'm coming as the perspective as an owner. we can hire all the security we want to, but if the owner doesn't care about his business, you can have 100 security, and it's not going to work. a lot of us are there or we train managers that we can trust. it's, like, giving a $1 million key to someone you can trust. you can go to dinner somewhere or somewhere, but if your manager doesn't care, that's

not responsible. i've been in this situation before, so i know there's going to be some legal ramifications on your business, and we don't know what's going to happen, and we don't want businesses to close. having that many security can be cost efficient. so i can ask, having people that really just there -- having a bar manager there that cares about their job, as well. >> that's [indiscernible] he

has to know that, you know, he as an owner's going to be liable for everything, right? whether somebody slips on the floor or now somebody's been injured. so i have a question for security. when people go to smoke, do you guys -- where do they go to smoke out? do you have a smoking area outside? >> the only area that we have for smoking is out in the front. >> so people out on the street

can actually talk to people in the smoking area. so let's say i'm walking by, and then, there's somebody on the smoking area on the other side of the fence. do they have contact? are they able to contact this person or have a conversation? >> yes. >> so do you -- >> so there's a bus stop in front of the location, and there's an opportunity for conversation. >> okay. so when the person comes back in the building, do they go through security? >> yes. if they go out, and they come back in, they're going to get

patted down again? so if they're a chain smoker, and they go out five times, they're going to get patted down five times? >> they're going to get patted down every single time. >> it's easy to pass things over the fence. i'm just trying to cover all bases to make sure that this doesn't happen again. all right. that's all i have to say. without the owner -- and he's sick, and i understand that, and william, as the so-called manager, the owner, somebody has to be on that premise, 4:00 until closed, and you're second in command, four hours for you, four hours for the other guys. >> and right now, i'm working seven days of the week right now. i'm there mondays through

sundays. >> all right. well, there's nothing else we can say but give him a chance, i guess, with all his extra precautions, but, yeah. thank you. >> thank you. >> more questions? commissioner falzon? >> i agree with commission staff. i don't think that adding conditions is really the solution, especially when william, you've been out of compliance with your existing conditions, but here's what i do want to understand. the bar that i'm setting was consistent compliance. i need to understand because it's not fair to burden us with confirming that, so i'm curious with what your solutions are going to be in letting us know that you're choosing to be in compliance. have you given that any

thought? >> can you repeat the question again, please? >> sure. the bar that i'm setting tonight and what was introduced earlier was constant compliance. it seems that the only way we can ensure constant compliance is to send an inspector out every night, but that's an impossible burden for the city. so i'm asking you, how are you going to demonstrate constant compliance? >> i'm open to suggestions, but at the same time, like i said, myself is going to be there seven days of the week. we're going to make this other person an assistant manager. we're going to be constantly

talking with farouz so we don't have to miss a call, and manager side with him on point shot, so if anyone [indiscernible] to send a replacement for that guard. like i say, we making sure that if a manager [indiscernible] cannot come for the guards to take their break, we will be playing the overtime for the guard not to take their break or meal time, and that way, we'll always be in compliance. >> okay. clearly, i think you understand for the foreseeable future, you are underneath the microscope. >> yes, we do. >> okay. so let me run a hypothetical by you. farouz is not able to send

enough security there for the night. what are you going to do? >> [indiscernible] which is currently working on her guard card. she works six days of the week, and she'll be there in any event something like that might happen. >> okay. so let me just give you a suggested response, and i'm very sincere about this. what i think is a more appropriate response given the gravity of the situation that you're in is if you can't meet the conditions of your permit, you should not be open. however you back these positions, it's up to you as long as you're in compliance with your security rules and guard card conditions. you need to talk to the owner about is if you can't come up to proper staffing, you need to be prepared to not open. now that's not us telling you

to do that, that is an operational decision that you need to make, and i'm just trying to make sure that that's on your radar as an option. >> yes. at this point, we are willing to consider any possible procedures to be in compliance. >> okay. so if you cannot meet all the possible conditions of your permit, what are you going to do? >> we're going to close down. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> that's all i have. >> anymore questions? so i don't have any specific questions, but i just have some comments. i -- you know, we've put a lot of thought into this incident, and it's just such a tragedy, and it seems like it could have been avoided.

it's a tragedy on many levels, but the rules that we had put in place to prevent violence and try to mitigate issues at this specific place weren't being followed, that for breaks or whatever, the very things that we put in to try to prevent something like this were, you know, potentially not followed and then potentially the reason that something like this could happen. i think it's really serious. i have concerns. i ann many bars -- or i don't now, but i've owned many bars, and i know what happens in a bar if there's not a consistent presence of somebody that's an owner there, and i think it's nearly impossible to run a bar without any consistent ownership presence, so i do have concerns. i would say this: the job of

this body is very specific. the job of this body is to determine whether or not an operator is responsible enough to have a deejay, essentially, to have life music. it's not necessary -- live music. it's not necessarily to have an alcohol permit, to be open for business, but whether or not they can follow the rules to have a safe environment and a respectful environment for having a deejay, and having a deejay sounds kind of like a joke, but it does bring a lot of issues with it, right? live loud, you know, thumping music can bring crowds. depending on the music you're playing, you can bring different kinds of crowds. when you're managing them appropriately, it can be a good place, but the rules in this case were not followed, and

now, somebody is dead, and it's really, really concerning to us. i understand the break system in california. i understand these things it kind of sounds -- i don't know. i'm not a huge fan of that -- you know, similar to commissioner falzon of that line of narrative. it just doesn't ring right, considering somebody's dead. but my thing, this body, we have to kind of determine whether or not we believe that this license holder can be responsible enough to follow the rules that we put in place. and i totally agree, that i think reconditioning might not be necessary because the conditions that we had were pretty strenuous to begin with, but i do want to throw out there that we do have an option to condition hours, the hours of entertainment, if approximate we don't think that -- if we have doubts or we

have concerns that the operator may not be able to follow the rules, and, you know, that could be, as commissioner lee said, the numbers just don't add up. i have trouble understanding how you can have three or four security guards in a place as small as you are and remain open. i -- i just did the payroll for my businesses today. i have difficulty ubdsing how those numbers pencil -- understanding how those numbers pencil out, but i have no further questions here, but i would like to have a discussion here among this group if we can, whether or not, in good conscience, allow them to go forward. commissioner falzon, you did have a good comment, that we're going to be checking this venue multiple times a weekend. i can't imagine when we're

going to stop to make sure they're in compliance, so to be under that sort of microscopic view, that's a hard one. and i will say this, i've asked the executive director and my team, that if anything, any part of your plan in these last few weeks, we'll have to call you back in, but that's all i'll say. and sometimes, you can't control violence. you can do everything right, and unfortunately, it'll still happen, but you didn't do everything right in this case. any way, i don't need to hear

from the permit holder, but i would like to hear from the other commissioners because i think this is really serious. steven, go ahead. >> well, the biggest issue i have is there's no -- there's nobody on duty, like, an owner or a manager that -- a partner who really, like, cares, per se, you know? they let the security guard kind of run the club in a sense, so up to the security -- and the thing is, for me, and commissioner falzon knows this, i don't like hiring outside security. i hire internal staff that have guard cards, and we in turn have kind of a company guard system, guard permit, as far as, like, being a company. but at least i have some

control, and i get to tell my guards what and what they cannot do. and if you guys are not on the premise, you know, you're definitely going to let the security guards may or may not do the right things, and i can't see you letting somebody else run your business. so for me -- and, you know, and this has happened to me not inside the club because inside the club, or outside the club, to be waiting for homicide show up and actually seeing somebody in that position, you know, being injured in that way, it's a wake-up call, you know, as an owner. and if that person doesn't understand that, they shouldn't be in the business in the first place. security can do all they can,

but if you don't have somebody watching where it's your bar, where it's your front door, where it's your whatever, you're going to be in the situation again. so for me to condition it right now, it's been a while. i'd like to see if they learned anything from this, but we definitely don't want them to have another incident, even a fight or reports of fights, and if so, we should bring them in. i mean, that's my opinion. i hope they learned something. that's all i can say. that's my comment. >> commissioner falzon? so just to reiterate something that president bleiman said, we

all know despite the best anticipated problems, bad things can happen. i think what's disappointing here is you weren't prepared, there weren't the right people in the right places, and i think the problem with us entertaining adding conditions right now because i agree with president bleiman and commissioner lee, the program in place is sound. i think most of us, in our hearts feel that if you had been in compliance, that his people would have swooped in on this pretty quick, because they would have picked up on the escalation of noise, and they would have separated the parties apart pretty queen. but there was no one inside, and i think what's really alarming is it does make my worry how long that style of management or lack of security had been going on. but again, i don't want to

focus on the past because what happened, happened. it's devastating, and it most likely was avoidable. but what we need to understand is, william, moving forward, you guys have a solid security plan, and if you don't have a solid secure plan, you're going to take appropriate action. again, back to what president bleiman said, i think if you step out of line, we should come down aggressively, bring you back. i think your owner's inability to communicate is not a reason not to be here. we have resources in place, translators, so if you do come back, he should be here. i'll go with the fact that he's sick right now, but i won't accept a language barrier. san francisco speaks every language on earth, and it's

what makes it the amazing city on earth. again, i don't want to filibuster, either, but again, i just feel that when we need is your commitment to just follow through on your existing conditions, and at least then, if something bad happens, to go back to what commissioner bleiman says, you can be with the best of management, totally on it on game day, and something unfortunate can happen. that is the nature of any venue, but that is not your case. you left a lot of gaps, you took a lot of risks, and now, the ultimate penalty has been played, and that's the loss of life. i really hope that really sets in. it has to be a devastating experience for your staff. they didn't deserve that, your

guests didn't deserve that. the family that have to live on now without that person doesn't deserve that. i just really hope -- i hope you and the owner have a long heartfelt discussion about that and really think about the business that you're in because sometimes the solution is to not be in the business. the other part i want to be transparent about that commissioner lee had mentioned, if the numbers aren't pencilling out, and you're incapable of meeting the business plan that you set out for us, you need to come to us and have that conversation. but being silent, it just puts more responsibility on you. i really can't think of much more to add than that. >> all right.

so just to keep -- anybody else have anything else? okay. so just to keep things moving along here, i think personally [indiscernible] plan in place because i don't think that was -- i don't think it's on us. i think we put a plan in place that was more than adequate, and it just wasn't followed. but i would say we have a number of tools at our disposal going forward, and there's a full revocation, there's suspension that we have. those are our processes that are onerous and always on the table, and we don't like to use them. but they're -- the easiest solution at our fingertips is limiting the hours of entertainment. what i would say is not a lot of people go out for deejays at 6:00 p.m. it's usually 9:00, 10:00,

11:00 p.m., so our ability to limit when deejays can play can also have an impact on businesses. so what i'm okay with, and which won't require a vote, i don't believe, and we can ask director weiland, is to just continue on with the existing regimen that we have but to give our office a pretty high-level scrutiny just to this particular license owner given that i'm terrified that there's going to be another incident on that. does anybody have any thoughts to add to that? >> i mean, i think the worst case scenario, we could limit them until 12:00, and of course, it's going to be quiet

there for a while. but again, i mean, that's -- you know, that's okay, too, you know? i guess, because of covid, everybody has been shutdown for a while, and it's been a while since we've heard from them, and i guess people got kind of lax. i go -- if anything happens again, we go to the next step and limit their hours. >> yeah, and we don't have to make any decisions like that here, commissioner lee, but knowing that we have those options and all agrees that we have those options, and the license holder knowing that we have those options, going so far as if there's anything that's out of place or not being complied with, we should call them in and have enough

meeting and see if the license holder has enough presence, enough responsibility in order to operate a safe night establishment. that's where i'm at. we don't have to project what that means, but -- commissioner falzon? >> you know, i want to make sure william understands, because i hear you and commissioner lee loud and clear. number one, we want to put you in a position to be economically successful. if we limit your hours, it's not if, it's when you're going to close. if we put in hours that simply aren't successful for the industry, you're not going to be around very long.

i just want to make sure that you're hearing what i'm saying loud and clear. >> we are. >> the other thing i would say, is just like these businesses -- i don't know, but i think the entertainment commission is one of a few things that you're going to be dealing with, and is not going to be most important, and i don't know, but i think a.b.c. can get involved, as well.

anything else to add, anyone? >> so -- >> go ahead. >> -- just to let william know what we're talking about, if we recondition your permit, nobody's going to want to come hangout, so before we go to the next step, we're kind of giving you a chance. >> executive director, just so we're following our protocol, this does not necessarily need to be a voting item?

>> right. it's sounding to me like there might not be a motion, and that's find. this agenda has been discussion and possible action. >> so i'm ready. i think we're at the point where we're kind of overstating our -- what we need to stay and saying it again. i think the license holder hears us, and that's all we can do. i know you also stand by the conditions established for that establishment, so hopefully, they can follow them, and if we don't have a motion -- well, first, i'd like to open it up for public comment.

>> operator: okay. let me post the slide for a few moments as a courtesy. i'm checking, and there are no hands raised, and there are no comments in the chat box. >> all right. i will close public comment, and i will move onto the next agenda item. thank you for coming in, and farouz. >> thank you. >> the next item is item 7, consideration and possible action to adopt a resolution making findings to allow teleconferenced meetings under california government code section 54953-e. this may be the last one of these that we're doing, unfortunately. let's go to public comment. >> operator: i'm checking, and there's none. >> all right.

i need a motion. >> motion. >> second. >> all right. let's do a roll call vote. >> clerk: all right. [roll call] >> there's something hilariously funny about doing something that we've been doing for 2.5 hours. okay. the final agenda item is number 8, commissioner comments and questions, and new business request for future agenda items. what have we got, guys? anything? >> i got nothing. >> i would like to say i'm putting on an event with hardly strictly blue grass in my community where hardly strictly is putting on an event, so neener, neener.

it's cool. it's going to be called picking on the polk. >> completely self-serving to our president, i listened to his blog the other day. it was great. >> you all sound like professional deejays, so you must all have great mics. >> is there any public comment on this agenda item? >> operator: checking, and there's none. >> all right. in that case, we'll adjourn this meeting at 7:22 p.m., and

we'll see you in a couple of weeks. >> okay. take care. have a good night.

>> one more statement. we are the one. that is our first single that we made. that is our opinion. >> i can't argue with you. >> you are responsible please do not know his exact. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career.

i took a seven year break. and then i came back. i worked in the library for a long time. when i started working the san francisco history centre, i noticed they had the hippie collection. i thought, if they have a hippie collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. so i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. she was very interested. one of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the avengers collection. this is definitely a valuable poster. because it is petty bone. it has that weird look because it was framed. it had something acid on it and something not acid framing it. we had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. it wasn't a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area

of punk. we have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and that. that i could donate myself. from they're, i decided, you know, why not pursue other people and other bands and get them to donate as well? the historic moments in san francisco, punk history, is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland. [♪♪♪] it brought all of the punks on the web -- west coast to san francisco to see this show. the sex pistols played the east coast and then they play texas and a few places in the south and then they came directly to san francisco. they skipped l.a. and they skipped most of the media centres. san francisco was really the biggest show for them pick it was their biggest show ever. their tour manager was interested in managing the adventures, my band. we were asked to open to support the pistols way to that show. and the nuns were also asked to open the show. it was certainly the biggest crowd that we had ever played

to. it was kind of terrifying but it did bring people all the way from vancouver, tee seattle, portland, san diego, all up and down the coast, and l.a., obviously. to san francisco to see this show. there are a lot of people who say that after they saw this show they thought they would start their own band. it was a great jumping off point for a lot of west coast punk. it was also, the pistols' last show. in a way, it was the end of one era of punk and the beginning of a new one. the city of san francisco didn't necessarily support punk rock. [♪♪♪] >> last, but certainly not least is a jell-o be opera. they are the punk rock candidate of the lead singer called the dead kennedys. >> if we are blaming anybody in san francisco, we will just
