backyard where we will have the basketball court set up. there will be a deejay music which is more ambient music throughout most of the activation time that does extend over the six hours that we that was mentioned. and then the biggest notable probably the loudest sound will be during the 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. concert that we're going to have with a notable rap artist during that time and all the other music will be mostly ambient sound and we have some additional programing like a ac's three versus three basketball competition that will also produce some sound just from audience and and the game itself. i think that's all i have. okay. >> any questions? >> mr. press hello stephanie.

thank you for coming out for your presentation. couple of question for the. you say you have a rap artist coming in. >> will they be a who's going to be managing that the volume of the sounds of the music while that person is performing ? >> we have our audio team provided by adeyeye who will be managing that sound. >> okay so the artist itself doesn't have control of the sound system? that's correct. all right. and then in case there are some complaints from the neighbors, what's the process of letting you know they should contact myself or whoever the neighbors are? hopefully they have my contact information and i will go directly to our audio tech team to manage that sound. >> okay. will that be on the website or something? >> your cell phone number? we don't have a website but i

do have i tried my best to reach out to all of the surrounding businesses with delivered letters as well as we got email addresses for all those letters and those emails. that letter was also delivered via email to them. >> okay. and that potential sound complaint can be addressed in real time. >> absolutely. yes. and i'll be on site that entire time as well. so if they just happened to show up at the door, they'll everyone knows to look for me and i can address it immediately. >> okay. thank you, stephanie. of course. more questions. >> i don't have any. >> can we open this up to public comment after that? no. no public comments. >> all right. we'll close public comment. do we hear any motions? >> i move to approve this with staff conditions second. all right. president kleiman by the vice president wang.

24th 2025 we delivered a 97 letters to our neighbors and local businesses to keep them in the loop about the event. what what stuck out to me was the overwhelming support of the community. we have the pleasure of meeting several community members including sheriff officers at the va clinic right across the street from us. michael that cafe silly eddie and julio over coffee japanese bar and grill and of course my friends over at casey engineering. everyone was excited due to the possibilities of additional foot traffic by granting this amplified sound permit. you're not just supporting our event but you're also helping to position san francisco as a top destination for an exciting entertainment. this is our chance to showcase the city's commitment to culture and innovation attracting to both brands and audiences. we fully understand the regulations around sound permits as we are committed to following them will ensure that the music is at an appropriate level and that it enhances the experience without being disruptive. in closing, i urge you to consider the value of amplified sound permit. we would bring all-star weekend

a.m. to 7 p.m. and sunday february 16th from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. there will feature entertainment amplified sounds beyond our six hour maximum per day which brings this item in front of the commission. >> the second is the saturday salsa nights which are part of their regular programing every saturday from 4 to 10 p.m.. but they have exceeded their administré tively approved 23 days of outdoor entertainment at amplified sound within a 12 month period at any one location. so they are asking to extend until the end of the 12 month period that ends on june 2025. so you will see in your folder the permit application and the neighborhood outreach letter and map as a pd southern station had no additional recommendations and they have received approval from s.f. port for these events on board property. neighborhood outreach was done to our businesses and residents with the to within a 200ft radius of the event premises. and we have not received any opposition to this event. staff is recommending approval with conditions listed in your

of all the events and we'll make adjustments that may be necessary to make sure that we in compliance and we're not disturbing the public the neighborhood probably is going to be very loud as it's going to be a lot going on in the area already but we will ensure that we do our best that we not disturbing the public or the neighborhood. and for this also know there's something that we've been doing for many, many, many years and we just look to continue performing this other nights. so it's such a vital thing for our business that we just would love to be able to continue to do and we haven't had any complaints over the last two years. i believe as we follow all the decibel measurements and all those readings that we have to do, we measure every hour to make sure that we're not exceeding the decibel levels. and yeah, that's basically what we're working on. >> questions. just love your salsa and i keep doing thank you.

yeah. our hope is that it becomes a destination ultimate narrative that san francisco's no fun. we want to give people a reason to visit not only in town but in the surrounding bay and we'll just give a reason to get back here about well the space looks amazing but i don't see any reason why you need live music there so i'm definitely going to vote no on this. >> i think it's a terrible idea . let's open this up to public comment. hello commissioners. my name is devlin costello and one of the food vendors kind of leaked one of the photos so i got a snapshot of the place. it's we need wow factors and this is appropriately named because it's a big splash for the city and we need attractions in the city and this is exactly what we need. so it's going to create more jobs. it's going to put san francisco

>> this is an exhibition across departments highlighting different artworks from our collection. gender is an important part of the dialogue. in many ways, this exhibition is contemporary. all of this artwork is from the 9th century and spans all the way to the 21st century. the exhibition is organized into seven different groupings or themes such as activities, symbolism, transformation and others. it's not by culture or time period, but different affinities between the artwork. activities, for example, looks

at the role of gender and how certain activities are placed as feminine or masculine. we have a print by uharo that looks at different activities that derisionly performed by men. it's looking at the theme of music. we have three women playing traditional japanese instruments that would otherwise be played by men at that time. we have pairings so that is looking within the context of gender in relationships. also with how people are questioning the whole idea of pairing in the first place. we have three from three different cultures, tibet, china and japan. this is sell vanity stot relevar has been fluid in different time

periods in cultures. sometimes being female in china but often male and evoking features associated with gender binaries and sometimes in between. it's a lovely way of tying all the themes together in this collection. gender and sexuality, speaking from my culture specifically, is something at that hasn't been recently widely discussed. this exhibition shows that it's gender and sexuality are actually have been considered and complicated by dialogue through the work of artists and thinking specifically, a sculpture we have of the hindu deities because it's half pee male and half male.

it turns into a different theme in a way and is a beautiful representation of how gender hasn't been seen as one thing or a binary. we see that it isn't a modest concept. in a way, i feel we have a lot of historical references and touch points throughout all the ages and in asian cultures. i believe san francisco has close to 40% asian. it's a huge representation here in the bay area. it's important that we awk abouk about this and open up the discussion around gender. what we've learned from organizing this exhibition at the museum is that gender has been something that has come up in all of these cultures through all the time periods as something that is important and relevant. especially here in the san francisco bay area we feel that it's relevant to the conversations that people are having today. we hope that people can carry

that outside of the museum into their daily lives.
