>> okay. >> commissioner hyde? >> so and i just want to say that commissioner lee also was interested in bringing you back in as well. it was not just myself. so, when you were here, and we have a condition that the last meal is to be served at 2:30 a.m. with security on hand from 12 to 3:30. could you just explain a little bit about how your security is working and how you are telling those people at 2:30 and controlling the crowd of people coming in? >> well, actually on the weekdays we don't have that much business. we have no problem closing it down at 3:00. you know? and when it comes to the weekend, friday and saturday nights we have the security guards and they are advising people to you know we are going to be closing down at 3:30. >> and the security is only there on the weekends? >> friday and saturday nights. >> i think that is what advised. >> okay. your hours of operation are to be posted clearly and changed to reflect the new hours. has that been done? >> the 24-hour sign is down. >> when did that com

at 1027, back in 2007 we removed a bus shelter at hyde and turk. in january of this year we removed the bus shelter at the corner of eddy and leavenworth. that is the 31 bus line. and people are advocating to remove the hyde and farrell at 38 -- -- which is the 38 geary line. i also want to mention the housing authority is not doing its due diligence when it comes to medical expenses. people that have -- can use that deduction are not getting it and their rent is higher because of it, which obviously has ripple effect. people are paying more rent that are low-income. i also, which was in the packet that obviously you are not going to get, which i will put up on the screen. multiple ways of doing this. can we have the screen? the 101 hyde post office is going to be removed, which is general delivery. they are going to be putting housing there. they are going to be putting housing there. the 101 hyde is the main post office site, where we have general delivery. those are people who don't have a mailbox go there to get their mail. so if you are on ga

that is exactly what commissioner hyde is talking about. he's suggesting that he would like to make a change so that in the code that they represent with a little more weight to it. my earlier comment with respect to [speaker not understood] and the commissioner agreed, he moves forward what may in fact happen. he knows where their concerns lie and it is very, very tangential to building safety code enforcement issues. so, it is suggesting something weightier and i think we don't need to discuss this any further considering it's not on any agenda in particular. i'm sure that you'll hear more about this as we go forward and you guys can consider if a code change like he's suggesting, if in fact it can be done, which staff has inquired about in the past, can be done, we'll discuss it. >> can i ask a question? >> yes. >> this is going to help i think for when the slovenian hall comes back. what is the posting policy -- >> asked the same question. >> [speaker not understood] interesting. so, notice is supposed to be posted continuously and cons

hello, hyde park! [ cheers and applause ] it is good to be home. it is good to be home.ave a seat. y'all relax. it's just me. y'all know me. it is good to be back home. a couple people i want to acknowledge. first of all, i want to thank your mayor, my great friend rahm emanuel, for his outstanding leadership of the city and his kind introduction. [ applause ] i want to thank everybody here at hyde park academy for welcoming me here today. [ cheers and applause ] i want to acknowledge your principal and your assistant principal, although they really make me feel old because when i saw them -- where are they? where are they? stand up, stand up. [ cheers and applause ] they are doing outstanding work. we're very, very proud of them, but you do make me feel old. sit down. couple other people i want to acknowledge. governor pat quinn is here doing great work down in springfield. my great friend and senior senator dick durbin is in the house. congressman bobby rush is here. we're in his district. attorney general and former seat mate of mine when i was in the state senate, li

>> commissioner hyde. >> here. >> commissioner perez? >> here. >> commissioner joseph. >> we have a quorum and >> and president newlin called to let us know that he would be absent. >> item number one is public comment. this is the time that the public can address us under the jurisdiction on items that are not on the agenda. is there a public comment? >> commissioners, mark, randy. i want to point out and remind everybody that on march, fourth, that the awards of san francisco, the nighttime entertainment awards will be held at the castro theater and the reason that i think that this is important, that if you start rewarding people for doing a good job with creative nighttime entertainment, i think that it is going to make the industry better and i hope that everybody goes. the tickets are fairly inexpensive and i think that they are $15. and it is going to be a great show and i hope that everybody will make it at 7:00, it starts. at the castro theater on the fourth. thanks. >> thank you. >> is there any other public comment? >> seeing,

i know that this is something that commissioner hyde is very interested in. and i mean, like, in this situation, where we have an applicant who says that they are doing out reach, but, that was further investigation, we have learned that that is not really what is happening. so, do, and i don't see like, a sample script or here is a sign-off, sheet that you must present, that you spoke to so many people and a sample script that would be hi, i'm from so and so and, is this is the application that we are trying to do and open until 3:00, etc. so where are we? is this something that is a long-term goal? >> well, i work for you. so if that is something that would you like, however, i will just say that there is a danger in doing the work for applicants for them. i mean, the same as handing them a security plan and saying here is a sample, why don't you do a security plan like this one and then you are going to get the same-sexty plan back at you. writing a script for somebody implies that they are not cap able as a business person to actually do their own out rea

. >> i want to speak to what commissioner hyde said. i tend to agree with you. i don't think that if you put the conditions on these guys, and they acted more responsibly, i think that we cannot assume a nuisance that does not exist. it is like assuming someone does a crime before they do a crime. so, i think that, i tend to agree with you, these guys took this seriously, and improved their business, and improved the neighborhood, they clean up, they have gone to a lot of expense to do this. and i think that we have to give them a shot at the extra part of it. i mean, we could certainly have the inspector go and monitor it and make sure that it is working and we could at least call them back in and revisit the matter. but, i listen to your points, commissioner hyde and i think that they were well taken. that is my two cents. >> okay, any other commissioners have comments? >> to me, the security part of it, if there is a certain capacity in having a security outside, should be, you know, limiting the amount of people that go in. you know, so you have two security

. >> commissioner hyde. >> here. >> p*e. rez. >> here. >> i am told for the record that commissioner akers is present. >> we have a quorum. bryant tan is excused this evening. >> okay. okay, first item to the agenda is public comment, the members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are under the subject matter if you want to talk, this is the time that you could do that. >> thank you, commissioners, my name is mark and tonight, i would like to discuss, something that is coming up in march that i think effects the industry and is going to be a really good, i think, boost to our industry. it is the 90s awards, the castro theater on march fourth. which is an award show, creating to celebrate the night life industry. and about 20 years ago, bam music magazine, hold an award show down at the civic which was a great party, unfortunately bam magazine went out of business, the music awards stop. but i think, this is a good way to recognize there is some excellent programming and creativit

>> aye. >> commissioner hyde? >> aye. >> commissioner perez? >> aye. >> all right, thank you. >> thank you. >> is there public comment on the executive director's report? seeing none, public comment is closed. item number 4, police department questions and comments. lots of blue in the room. anybody coming up? >> i'm here for an application. >> oh. >> steve mathias from central station. couple of incidents over the last couple weeks. on january 26 at 12:30 a.m., a large fight, 10 people fighting inside cosmo, located at 440 broadway. january 26 at horizon, 998 broadway, one woman was bunn punched in the face by another woman. the woman fell to the ground and was sexually battered by another [speaker not understood]. the initial suspect was arrested and the male suspect got away. there were the following specses from persons from the following clubs. club el monte, [speaker not understood]. and monroe at 473 broadway. on february 3rd, let's see, a little after 7 o'clock at the irish times during the super bowl, two victims were at the irish time

. >> commissioner hyde? >> i was just wondering, what kind of qualifications you are looking for that other position? do they need like police training? >> for the other inspect or position? >> no, we are not looking for police training we are asking for some kind of experience in the industry. you know, it would be preferable and we are looking for someone that we are defining as some kind of law experience. meaning, you know, whether it be law school or working even as a legal aid or something like that. this job as the commissioners know entails a fair amount of code and law working with the city attorney and other agencies, so, having someone come in who has some basic understanding of that it would be helpful. >> and then, everyone who has some kind of security, or code enforcement or law enforcement background is going to get pushed to the front of the line just because of the nature of the work. >> okay. >> any other questions commissioners? >> is there public comment on the executive director's repor

there is no process like commissioner akers was talking about and commissioner hyde and i know that we have done an inquiry around how to impose into our process something more formal that does not exist now. that it is more like, what? the planning department may do in terms of process. this will add time and money and effort into our practice and that is again, up to you guys, to impose. >> so let me ask you this. >> if someone comes to us, and it is a permitted use, they don't go through a planning process, right? >> if they come to us and it is a conditional use, they have gone through the planning process and they have done the neighborhood out reach? >> so, conditional... right? so conditional use, people come to us with conditional use and people who have to do 312 notifications and stuff like that. they have already gone through the process and the planning department to make them repeat the process here. it seems a little weird. >> i don't think that you would have to, but i don't think that everyone does go through the conditional use process. and i think that we have seen to

we're in chicago at hyde parking academy. some of the students waiting if president obama to speak here and touch on a number of issues, hi may touch on jobs and the economy. here's a look at some of c-span's series on the first ladies. we'll bring you back to hyde parking academy when the president arrives. >> i think the women were interested in politics but had to vehicle to express that in their own lives. so they were attracted to men who were going to become politically active or already politically active. >> each of them i find ingrigging. half of them because they are so obscure. i think half of these women would probably be unrecognizable to most men and women on the street. >> this president's day c-span premieres its new series "first lay dailies" with historians, chiefs of staffs, chefs, exploring the lives of the women that served as first lady. in a first of its kind project for television. it begins monday night on c-span, c-span radio and c-span.org. watch the program earlier in the day on c-span. saturday, b

commissioner hyde? >> you are going to take tables out of the patio and put in a piano. >> it is a room out on our patio, it is enclosed. >> how is this... i know that it is a piano but how is this sound proofing out on this patio bar? >> bullet proof. there is panel glass and doors. >> i just wanted to, you know. thanks. >> and concrete. >> any other questions? >> your smoking is it done in the patio? >> it is done outside. >> you guys i think have a floor plan, there is a structure out on the patio that is a whole room of its own. the smoking is done at the guardrail on the geary side. >> so when people go and smoke the door opens up and the music goes out? >> sure. >> is there any way to buffer that a little bit? >> i don't think that it is going to be that much of an issue. it is a piano and people tend to enjoy that sort of thing it is the afternoon. >> i mean you get until 10. you have that option. >> any other questions? >> i just want to make sure that i have the floor plan right in my head. so
