commissioner meko? motorcycle here. >> commissioner perez? >> here. >> president roja? >> here. >> we have a quo rom, commissioner cavellini is absent. >> we are going to lose one commissioner after an hour. after public comment, i'm going to go right to the action items and then that will conclude the meeting. so if you're here for anything else -- everything else will be continued to the next meeting. public comment, number one members of the public. item a, madiigan, the san francisco marathon, loud speaker application, july 31st, 2011 from 5 p.m. in various locations. >> commissioner, the marathon as you know, and i looked it up online, i might be wrong has been run since 1977, and it's obviously a marathon. they also run a half marathon, a 5-k. the race runs through much of the city. i think there are over 20,000 runners on the course throughout the day. there are thousands of spectators along the course as well. the race requires a street closure which i also attached behind this memo for you to l

commissioner meko: i see. and they closed down about a year ago. >> the restaurant seemed to close down to a point where it was (rarely. -- open very rarely. commissioner meko: and now it is a location for spontaneous parties. one last wednesday involve violence with the residents across the street. >> you brought that to my attention. at this time, i still do not have any paper from southern station. i am waiting on that. they have been doing these kind of events on the past, both southern station and the sfpd. we all know about it. to be honest, it is just catching them. commissioner meko: this probably is more relevant to the sfpd and fire marshal and it is to you. >> correct. commissioner meko: you do not have the tools to deal with them. >> correct. in the past, i will make a call to dispatch. commissioner meko: hanks. -- thanks. president newlin: public comment on the executive director's report. seeing none, will move to item four, police department comments and questions. >> good evening. i am steve ma

commissioner meko: yeah. i would have to add that i did read your application thoroughly and notice that you tend to emphasize the areas where you have little impact such as one sight faces the freeway, one side faces 6th street. but i might also remind you that in recent memory, this club was shutdown by the police department because of the impacts that the club, i guess, eight or nine years ago. the inspector is agreeing about nine years ago because of tim packet that you were having on the immediate neighborhood which would tend to suggest that you should do more outreach. >> and that was under prior ownership and that was not when this diner was involved with the club. but again if the commission feels that we should do more outreach before the commission can issue a permit, be-we'll be happy to do that. president roja: since there is four of us, we have to have a unanimous vote. commissioner meko: i was hoping that you would ask for a continuum to allow yourself to rectify the errors that are on your app

commissioner meko: i see. with the crowd of hundreds. >> this particular event i encountered this last weekend, it was probably about 120. in that particular event, seven station was called in. commissioner meko: that is a good-sized therapy group. and dear old kimo's -- how did that show up on your watch us? -- watch list? >> it is very rare we have problems with them. commissioner meko: it is warm and fuzzy. it goes back to the 50's. >> it is predominantly live music, exclusively live music on the second floor. we have permitted them for a long time. we have done some tests. -- sound tests. we had a neighbor complaint two years ago, which we were able to resolve. this is just a new neighbor complaint. it is relatively new. it is not incredibly dramatic. no one is jumping up and down and screaming. on at nicer nights or busier nights, they open a door. this is one of those issues so that the commissioners have that option. but it is an incredible venue. commissioner meko: one final question about non-permitte

commissioner meko: better lighting, our cameras? >> sometimes cameras.mmissioner meko: four years ago, it seemed this commission had reached a point where we had normal conditions that we could possibly apply. >> you can preconditions. -- tweak conditions. i am happy

commissioner meko: better lighting, our cameras? >> sometimes cameras.mmissioner meko: four years ago, it seemed this commission had reached a point where we had normal conditions that we could possibly apply. >> you can preconditions. -- tweak conditions. i am happy to send you the conditions on both of those. >> i have it here, thanks to technology. >> you have it in your blackberry. >> currently, we have one of them right here, which is mist. some of the conditions that we would cease at 1:15 a.m., that there would always be a manager on premise, that the southern station officer would get a calendar every three weeks of events, that their security staff ratio would be adjusted. it is one to every 40 patrons. there would be security staff on duty during all hours of operation. obviously, all security will be over 21. and all security will wear distinctive clothing. for mist, that is most of the conditions that were set. >> i can explain, if you want. you can stop us. commissioner meko: you are right. >> we wrangled a round at the meeting on the issue

commissioner meko: the appeal would be

commissioner meko: it was beautiful. >> i am going to make it look nice. it will not be all black anymore. commissioner meko: mr. renny, congratulations on your efforts at neighborhood outreach. the earlier you do it, the better. i would rather see that you have contacted various associations rather than you intend to contact various associations. in general, this is good out reach, particularly to district 6, which is probably the most of an organization to you, and the tenderloin community benefit district. the central market community benefit district, which you are a part of, would be good our reach as well. otherwise, good luck to you. you might want to rethink that picture. >> on your security plan, it says that fuel research the use of enhanced gateway security systems, including a blue light interface system that will speed up the process of entry into the venue. these systems confirm the customer is of legal drinking age by calculating their age and presenting it onscreen to staff members. this allows staff to identify age more quickly. we have no

[calling votes] >> you are excused. commissioner kane: this is the continuation of the item from last month. just to keep its move, you have documents from the planning with the proposed conditions, so the permits are mechanical amusements, and i will turn it over. >> if i may, as a reminder -- i am the attorney, and we were here last week. this is an application from my client. she is purchasing from the existing e -- llc. it will be operated much the way it has in the past. we asked for a continuance so we can get in touch with community groups, and ms

commissioner meko? commissioner meko: it should be under the 30-day rule. has the supervisor's office requested a delay in this? >> no, commissioner but it was made clear to me that the planning department had to hear some portion of this. >> but there are time constrainted -- constraints under which the planning commission must hear it. >> it is my understanding they will not be hearing it until august. >> august. well, the supervisor must have requested that delay or agreed to it for it to be put off that far into the distance. i will move to continue it. >> and i'll second it. >> ok. >> may i -- >> very good. ok. any public comment on that? none. ok. item number five. police department comments and questions. officer mathias, welcome. >> good evening. steve mathias from central station. i had a few incidents over the weekend. i will just kind of go into the major ones. there was a stabbing incident at 2:23 a.m. may 22. a large crowd and people fighting in the street near the condor club. police activated sirens to disperse the crowd. seven officers respo

. -- commissioner meko. there has been a request made by supervisor wiener to amend code section 1070 which is a police code section that we work with regarding extended hours permits. he is asking the city attorney to draft an amendment to exempt restaurants from security plan requirements. in 2009, when we had a schedule change, they were basically made it to mirror each other in terms of almost every aspect including security plans and the corrective actions we are about to do now. it has not happened up until recently that an applicant came forward wanting to do basically food service after 2:00 a.m.. we have not faced this issue before. it was made clear to this applicant that we were previously the bagdad cafe. we will be required to have security and they requested that the supervisor make an amendment to the law. it has not been drafted but it has been assigned to -- because he has familiarity with 1070. i don't know anyone ceiling on whether this is appropriate or not but as this legislation comes f
