monique moir from the port of san francisco. as you may know there is a section of the charter that is devoted to the port and the ports exclusive right to manage it's properties and from time to time we defer to other departments who have more expertise than we do. several years ago we entered into an agreement with the department of the entertainment commission to help us with our entertainment permits which may affect restaurants, but it may also affect open space and other activities that may occur in the public right-of-way. at that time we did not plan for an appeals process and subsequently we have had appealed and would like to ask your distance in addressing those appeals. it has come to the attention of the port commission that it's a little awkward to approve a lease or license and approving the body at the same time. if you take that into consideration, we would be most grateful. >> miss moir, the permit issued by entertainment are the same as the other permits that they issue? >> so the port issues building permits
