ok, so neither of the applicants are here. we can either motion to continue this item -- we have actually had trouble contacting these applicants. supervisor farrell: i think it is important that we have people seated as well, and to me, there are two applicants, and one has applied twice here, so i think the interest is there. one would take a residency waiver requirement. i would have trouble doing that, so i would like to make a motion supporting this kuo for the chair with recommendation to the full board. supervisor kim: we do have a motion to move forward. she did come to speak to the committee last year, so we did hear her speak, and he is definitely passionate. she is a pediatrician who does a lot of interesting work. carl bryant does serve as one of our assistance superintendents. we were not able to reach her and not able to hear her speak. in a stand because she is not a san francisco resident, to support moving forward anda kuo. we move anda kuo forward to the children and families first commission. we can do that

there is no merit of the application to because they will not let him apply. there is something wrong where they can make rules and the dark and no one knows about them. >> i think some of the commissioners are worried that your speechmaking. -- that you are speechmaking. one thing you achieved is that it is no longer being done in the dark. it has come to light. this board has expressed itself, at least a few of us have, as to how we seem to question this policy. let's see where it goes. >> mta said it is their policy. we understand it is a staff policy that has not been adopted by the full commission. but do doubt the merits of that policy? -- but do you doubt the merits of that policy? they could have adopted a policy that says, we will have a moratorium on these permits for two years. planning has done that when they are in the midst of planning a new area and coming up with new zoning. they sometimes have a moratorium. >> it is a terrible policy. it is a regulation that has not been adopted after a hearing. it deprives mr. aryan to engage in a competitive

the resolution is in applicable in this case. i would like to give you some additional good reasons why this board of appeals may take jurisdiction, but also why you should take jurisdiction. specifically, people seeking to open a taxi company are quite often minority business owners. those minority business owners have been supported by the city government. by refusing to allow new companies to open, mta staff has stifled contra premiership at a time when we most need it. mta staff may be in violation of statutes that pertain to government interference with business. hypothetically. san francisco has traditional 30 taxi companies. it is a disingenuous argument to say that we can have an owner operator company because those owner operator companies are not their own taxi companies. they cannot become a to do zero or 10 or 50 taxi company. -- 2 or 10 or 50 taxi company. much like liquor licenses are being transferred, out with the existing permit to operate a taxi company, the existing permits have become quite a valuable on the b

as i said, every application. increasingly, what has happened is highly specialized applications. i will give you one example of that. dealer track. they actually do loan origination software for automotive loans. today, basically 80% of all the loans in the united states are processed through their software. we will see much more of this. we want to talk about not as public companies, tons of this. all of these guys uses the original cloud service. a lot of people have asked me why we call it a cloud. what does this come from? it is pretty simple. in the old days of client-server computing -- some of us were around them -- we would draw a picture of a pc, a picture of a unix server, and then a picture of a little clout in between. mostly because none of us understood how networks work. for the old folks in the room, you may remember certain words. this is all communication technology developed for corporations to build their own networks. that sounds like crazy talk today, right? nobody does that anymore. everybody is using ip, mpls- based networks. that is the network cloud. the

expiration, 106a.3.8, disapproval of application, 1 06a.3.8.7, withdraw the application, 106a.34.4, a permit expiration, and corrections. >> this came from our public advisory committee meetings and the need for a permit applicants and permit holders to have a longer time span to complete their work in this economy. and what it does, on the larger projects, it extends the time limit for the amount of an extension that can be formally granted from one year to two years. so that the larger projects do not have to keep coming back in every year, trying to get a permit extension or an application extension on a project that might take them several years to get all of their agenda submitted, such as a high-rise or another project like that. what happens is the site permits issued and then they have a certain amount of time to submit all of the adenda into the other departments, that time limit rapidly gets exhausted. and they're coming back every year and paying an extension fee. it is burdensome on the department. it is not efficient. and we really did not need to collect the money ever

thank you for your support on this application. supervisor elsbernd: any questions for the applicant? let's go now to the public comment cards. we will give everyone two minutes. i will read these randomly. excuse me if i mispronounce anybody is named. -- if i mispronounce anybody's name. [reading names], >> good morning, supervisors. i'm the president of the market business association. i think it's disingenuous to make claims that things habib worse because this bar is opening. as the applicant said before, it is going to attract the south asian community that does not have a place to get too. when have you ever heard of the southeast asian community causing problems like drug abuse and all? i fully support this bar and it's going to bring a whole new type of people into the area. you will see that much of bat activity going on with the abuse of drugs. it's much better than a liquor store. with a liquor store, anybody can walk in and buy liquor. they're not going to be catering to those sort of people. i urge you to please suppor

the applicants -- southern station is actually pretty open. if you're going to hire the security company, you should have a meeting and see if you can work things out. i don't think there's a big problem. what you have here is fine. you should get together with everybody. >> thank you. >> i will suggest you talk to monarch's about the outreach they did in the neighborhood. i know they have a positive experience talking to that nonprofits. you have done some. they are, like, business associations, not necessarily neighborhood associations. it is only a suggestion that will maybe help you in the neighborhood. i know monarch's found it helpful. i wanted to suggest that you possibly do something like that. i would like to move a for a continuance. >> until? >> i want to make a friendly amendment. you want to move to the continuance at the request of san francisco pd. >> until? >> to the next meeting. that is my friendly amendment. >> accepted. >> i second that. commissioner hyde: aye. commissioner joseph: aye. commissioner tan: aye. commissioner l

[laughter] any other questions from the commission? no music, just background. all right, thank you very much. are there any members of the public that wish to comment on this application? seeing none, do we have a motion? >> i motion to approve. >> second. commissioner perez: aye. commissioner lee: aye. vice chair joseph: aye. p

based upon that discussion, we contacted the applicant. they reduced it based upon the recommendation to not approve. we went back to the police department, requesting that they have reduced their hours, would there be a problem. they have continued to say, yes, there remains a problem. this is the information that we got after the hearing from this board. >> wasn't this the case where the department had already granted her department and then later took it away? >> no, we did not grant her the permit. >> was their correspondence communicating to hurt that would indicate to any reasonable reader that the permit would be granted? >> there was correspondence to the applicant's stating that we have contacted the police department. we had sent out of the neighborhood notification. the police department said no. >> based upon? >> based upon the late night operation. these people continue to say no, they cannot support it. >> the dial is based on the first instance. people were serving coffee within the immediate area. >> i have no questions but

. >> i am one of the applicants. we had a vision. our vision is to open the first south asian lgbt bar in the country. that division took a number of years and a lot of challenges, but we finally come around to finding the right spot. six street is challenging, but at the same time, we can turn it around. we have plans and a robust security plan that involves lighting and security staff and putting cameras outside. we want to make sure this place is not only safe just for our guests, but it will be the high tech workers to come in the area, the residents that the new construction is bringing in with the mayor's revitalization plan. it will also be the residence of the street and i heard the captain say the other day that putting a lot of light on the street will eliminate a lot of problems. it would remove the drug abusers from the area and whatever other undesirable activities are happening. we believe in this revitalization plan and we believe that our community to support this bar and lounge and i encourage you to vote in my favor

it has been as extensive outreach as possible by the applicant. they completed it without complaint or incident. the are back for a permit to do karaoke in aerospace. >> thank you. >> what we did, it was safety. we updated fire and safety also. planning, building, and electrical. again, secondary with safety. electrical and fired twice in the past. we connected with the neighborhood. we are on fillmore street. [unintelligible] we had no problem with that. like the, all the labor welcome us. -- like i said, all the neighbors welcomed us. >> anything from the police? >> what's the cross street? that's right, you said that. >> i think there was one from way back. >> we weren't there, way back. >> much longer, it was so long to come here. for disappointment. >> i have a question regarding security. >> we do have security. king security. they do putdowns end of five security cameras and the place -- and have five security cameras in the place. they have that safeway, panda express, and popeye's. we are pretty much covered on security. we have five cent

the 15 people in the smoking area, unless the applicant has a problem, i do not have a problem. i have a problem with no q shall be allowed for patrons waiting to enter after occupancy has been reached. that is the lifeblood of a business. where would you like the people to -- i do not understand. i do not agree with that. i would not want that. people have to be able to stand in line. everybody stands in mind. no boy during is good. -- loitering is good. i am good with all of the stuff wexcept number 8. most of it is in their security plan. where our good neighbor policy. -- or our good neighbor policy. commissioner hyde: anybody else want to chime in? any questions? thank you, officer. all right. commissioners, and more -- we have public comment. >> i have come to speak as an industry advocate for this. i think it is a seamless transition. it is a stabilizing force because the management is going to continue to manage. that is going to rub off on the rest of the people that are new to the location. i disagree with the police department that the area is not conducive. most peop

. >> one of the students of their mentioned anonymous applications.ng for a job can be tough enough, but imagine having to include your age and a photograph on every application. that is how it is here in germany. >> but the federal anti- discrimination agency wants to change that. it has been running a pilot project with an honest job applications with positive results. stage here had already overcome the biggest hurdle. research shows that applications from older people, young mothers, and migrants are the first to be discarded. that is why germany is now following the example set by other countries like the u.s., sweden, and france in piloting anonymous applications. >> our analysis showed that it does not matter if you are a man, a woman, have immigrant parents or not. all applicants under the anonymous system have an equal chance of being invited to a job interview. >> the pilot project involved public sector bodies and businesses. it helped this woman get her job. >> i am in my mid 40's and have a young daughter, so i am not very interesting for

. >> thank you for considering my application. i am one of the board of directors. our foundation started a program called the get hired tour. we return to get a million people back to work a number of years ago. one of the things we have been seeing is that like many of the other applicants have indicated, people are not being hired. they're having a difficult time finding a job. reason why i have decided to apply to this committee is because i that a paradigm shift in how we may be able to fight this issue. one of the things i am looking at and what has become a passion for me is looking at our veterans and also just some folks who are on unemployment right now. what i would like to do is start a program where they can partner with a company that our nonprofit is working with right now and hire themselves. instead of it being get hired, you are creating your own job. the program will allow them to partner with developers and experience the other side of the technical innovators themselves, where they can work with a team of developers. we would partnered them with

. >> is there any questions from the commission to the applicants and? >> i had a question. you said there will be some improvements to the actual building. can you describe, i know it is not laid out, but the thoughts? >> number one, hopefully the roof will not beat anymore. that has been going on for more than a few years. some roof repairs, electrical, some sound system repairs. expanding the allied dating -- the lighting. booth seating and table areas. a lot of stuff we have has taken a beating over the years. that is it. no structural changes. other than repairing the roof. >> i'm dating myself. i have fond memories. >> colossus is still going on. i will see you on gay pride.

there are a lot of interesting applications for this, by the way. this innovation and business model has not stopped. they have let this thing, but it is not over. that, to me, is the holy grail. this technology is going to enable people to build business models which you have never seen an economically allow things to happen which we have never seen. is that a short answer or long? >> that was just right. thank you. >> my next question leads into that with simon. you have developed some core virtual is asian technology. you have seen it be used in private clubs, in the enterprise setting, in public clouds. how do you see customers reacting to both private and public clouds, the challenges, the opportunities? >> [inaudible] because of the scary things out there, and because they have real humans who are scared of letting go of control. again, it is not so much a technology challenge as a human process challenge. it is really scary to let go of this thing you have been charged with looking after. it could be a regulatory environment, but it could jus

the resolution is in applicable in this case. i would like to give you some additional good reasons why this board of appeals may take jurisdiction, but also why you should take jurisdiction. specifically, people seeking to open a taxi company are quite often minority business owners. those minority business owners have been supported by the city government. by refusing to allow new companies to open, mta staff has stifled contra premiership at a time when we most need it. mta staff may be
