glendon will work tirelessly to prt

i am here to it urge you to select glenda and hide the shot -- glendon hyde. i can appreciate the challenges that the intimate commission faces every day in their work. i definitely believe that he is the right person for the seat on the commission. he and i have been friends and colleagues for nearly a decade. he understands the value of my life and attainment and understands the need to strike a balance that works for everyone with neighbors, club owners, a fed producers, and patrons alike. he is someone who is passionate and dedicated to his neighborhood involvement. to our treasured outdoor events, specifically we have worked very closely together as he mentioned earlier on the street fair, in an area that we called the world of wonderment which is an interactive arts area of the fair which is based more on what the fair really originated as in the mid 70's when we started it. he has been a proven true leader in the role. we have gotten a lot of praise for his work in this area. i believe that his passion and dedication would be well utilized. >> we have t

i have known glendon for years and i am glad to call him my friend. he has worked for change, equal rights and opportunity. this has been well received. he is loved and respected by many and i really believe that the skill and ability that he has had will be an asset to the entertainment committee. >> i am a member of the imperial court of san francisco. i am also a contributing writer for the bay area reporter. years of getting to know and the convent and writing about him, i got to see him in action both in the clubs and out of the clubs. i have heard many people complain about different things as far as the clubs and stuff like that. anaconda as much represented a lot of people who are under represented in this community which is usually the renters and the homeless. i really feel that with all of the committee's that if come here, i will not repeat everything that has been said. the fact that i hear different things like coming in and doing tough love and businesses and things like that, i've written about the history of the tavern guild which is

meko and anna conda, glendon hyde. it is great to have a lot of friends that are going to turn out for you. i think i could go a lot of different ways in this regard. today, i will be supporting d. gill sperlein. i was very impressed by his presentation. but to the other candidates if there is another seat open, i would very much welcome considering a. -- considering you. but i am with supervisor weiner at this point. supervisor elsbernd: over the last few years, i think i have fallen into the camp of folks who has become increasingly frustrated with the entertainment commission not necessarily being as responsive to all the various interests, and frankly i remember when president chu introduce legislation strengthening the entertainment commission. i was tempted to vote against it and offer amendments to spending the entertainment commission, because i thought the completely failed in the charter the were mandated to achieve. that said, we are moving forward and seeing what we can do. mr. meko, you almost got me in yo

. >> supervisor avalos: i would like to switch out his name with glendon hyde hoda would like to support for this position. he represents the number of great qualities i think would be exceptional in an entertainment commissioner. it is a neighborhood that is greatly impacted and has had never representative from that district and has -- the committee work that he has done in the neighborhood of a board member of united players has done fund-raising work for many causes. a member of the western soma citizens task force and a fund- raiser for the aids funding alliance, marriage equality, the sisters of perpetual indulgence, the transgendered laz senger come on numerous organizations that have been defeated -- benefited by his work. also not to only does g lendon understand night live, he is a drag queen and consummate performer in the night life of san francisco. he has a great sense of civic duty and activism i think makes him an exceptional member of the entertainment commission. he believes in community building and creating opportunity, for the community to grow and use its voice to m

member and i hope you can support me in supporting glendon hyde for the commission. >> i do not always agree on every issue. but knowing his commitment to the community and the city. i want to think of a commissioner for his service. we have two superb people before us today. this is not about one person being more committed than another. there was a perception ash and a minimum that there was too much influence by the entertainment commission, the commission was not being aggressive enough regulating the industry and holding the industry accountable. for those of us passionate about having a great guy like and entertainment in this city, we understand is that entertainment commission does not have the credibility it needs in terms of having that balance, that is not a benefit to the entertainment industry and undermines the industry. gil brings undoubted neighborhood credentials to this commission. he has been involved in traffic coming efforts along roosevelt street, he is a co-founder of the friends of corona heights park group to help take care of the park and has been involved in

my name is glendon hyde, and i am running for the neighborhood , association, or groups see. there has been a lot said about commitment to neighborhood fabric. a lot of people think that because i am a drag queen i am not also an activist. the easiest way to dispel that is one of the things that prompted me to become a drag queen is the compton riots followed by the stonewall riot, which were the birth of the clear rights movement. it is not easier to be a drag queen. it is much harder to be taken seriously, to make connections. and even when i ran for district 6, people said, "you are bringing your drag queen named with you? do you know that is going to be harder?" i do not mind working harder to prove myself. i think my run for district six did in grain me in the cultural and community fabric even greater than i was. it proved i can be taken seriously and not just someone who represents what sinkers in a bar -- lipsynchers in a bar. i represent a large community and a voice in the community. i will talk about the organizations i have worked with. my introduction came throug

i forgot to mention that there is the addition of glendon hyde. he will be a tremendous asset to the organization. next item, reviewing the minutes of july 12. we have a quorum of commissioners -- we will have to continue that item. >> i move to continue. >> second. >> commissioner hyde, mr. joseph, mr. perez. >> yes. >> item #3. for a report from the executive director. >> good evening. as was mentioned earlier, there was activity around this long to live performance legislation. -- limited live performance legislation. in a nutshell, after all the commission took a look at it and send recommendations in support of the land use committee. again it was passed with recommendation yesterday. july 25. the board did discuss the item today. we did continue it for a week, they felt they had to have more discussion with community. the plan is to see that item by the board on its first reading. i have given new this legislation before. if anyone is interested, i have the package. the other legislation i wanted to make the commission aware of is something

. >> hello again, glendon hyde. as you can imagine, i have a frosty bear on the mind, but i wanted to stay here and put a good word in for lj cirilo. i don't know how to pronounce your last name. 38 is when i started reading glasses. i am up there on the ground. i always see her up there. i have collaborated with her and think she would make a great addition to the task force. and thank you scott weiner for those kind words. >> good afternoon, supervisors. it is a pleasure to see you today. i did have some notes for the person i am endorsing today, victor nelson. i also am familiar with charles pitts' work over the years. he is an outspoken advocate. lj cirilo i do not know, but i was there and helped write the standard of care for the shelters. i understand what she is going through there. i have known victor for several years. i have worked with him on a weekly basis in the mission sro collaborative program, which is where we do out region said the answer rose on a weekly basis. victor, from what i have seen, is a
