issues facing san francisco, facing your district, and how you are going to balance the needs of san francisco at large against the needs of your district? >> we actually see the needs of san francisco and the district cannot be counteracted or counter intuitive. when we address the needs of the district and residents, we also address the issues of folks that are living in the mission, people that are working class people, people that have blue- collar jobs. really, it is paramount and centered on education. for young people, making sure, ensuring we are providing them a quality education in public schools. i served as chair on the select committee, a committee between the members of the board of supervisors and members on the school board, coming together to address the challenges. in this particular case, we are talking about education. we are talking about a working- class community, the excelsior, the bayview, all of these different neighborhoods are smaller enclaves. we still see the same kinds of challenges. when the schools begin to perform a stellar academic programs, businesses will continue to relocate because the employees will want to live in san francisco and

on environmental cleanup in the areas of san francisco where that is a growing concern. >> you know, in san francisco, specifically in the southeast quadrant, san francisco is the industrial armpit. we have got the two major toxic sites, we have the shipyard and the lock site. both of those toxic chemicals that are still in the ground are from earlier activities, business activities. we also have the puc, the water treatment plant, in the district. for me, the quality of the environment is very important. it is a direct relationship with the high breast cancer rates, a cancer rates in particular, but also breast cancer, and to some degree childhood obesity, there's a correlation between the environment people are growing up in. when we talk about my legislative priorities, the environment is also on that list of priorities. minimizing asthma, maintaining the asman task force, that we will keep implementing that my predecessors started, educating people on healthy lifestyles, exercise, healthy diet. we talked about the environment. it is about the food we are taking into our body, our stress level, and a component that is not often discussed as

san francisco unique and defines us. without these unique abilities to enjoy ourselves, it would not be san francisco. understanding and embracing this has been a priority for me as a member of the board of supervisors. engaging in the study of the economic impact as an entertainment and lite light industry, this study, which i anticipate will be completed later this year, will be providing a key policy tool. no longer will we be unduly focused on the negative. instead we will see the negative and the positive. i look forward to sharing this with you and working on it together. the commission does not have nearly enough resources to do what we wanted to do. the commission has done a very good job over the past year in focusing on its core mission. we need to make sure that continues to have credibility. finally, as we activate more public spaces, it is important for the entertainment community to work with our city department and make them interesting. thank you for what you do to make this town interesting and break. i will always be our ally." [applause] >> he is a lot shorter than supervisor wiener, if you know. again, thank you for coming. as the tgv is more bunched than i want them to be, but thank you for being here. i hope that you will take the time to turn around and find your permit officer and your venue. it is really important that you have a relationship. one of the things that we will do in the breakout sessions is talk about that relationship, shared space, and shared resources. that will be important to think about. in the meantime, i wanted to underscore the economic impact policy. we were hopeful to be more further along. i will ask that you be prepared to engage in that study when the survey instrument it's done. it will probably be an online survey that should be fairly easy. the more people that fill it out, the better the data we will have we think it will likely be in the billions. the more you that it involved and give the data that is asked of you, the more accurate it will be. i will leave it there. the other thing i was hoping to do today, just a power play instead of the actual web site. many remember when, about one year ago, we had some violence going on. the mayor shook a finger in city hall and talk about fixing the night life and policing yourself. it was passed by david shu, regarding promoters. it started a few years ago ended did not go anywhere. basically it wound up being a listing of promoters. so, we are pretty close to launching this website. it will look like that. not bad. it is super simple and it is one of those things that you sign up for this free. it does not create a good promoter list or a bad promoter list. it's simply is a list. san francisco has never had a listing or registry at all about who is in that business of promoting. the definition is pretty much anyone that does events at night time in san francisco. the biggest part of it for us, then use permitted by the entertainment commission -- venues permitted by the entertainment commission must use licensed workers. because it is something that you can use any time, it is simple to put your name in. not to block anyone, but this is the us in the city and how to get in touch with you so, it is pretty simple. lots of those men new forms. this page is public information. the stuff all along the bottom asks you about your former officers and more business information? that is not public and frisian is that -- so, if you are a venue and you want to check on a promoter that comes to you, this is what you will see. clicking on it will all of you to see, again, that public information. so, that other step will not be accessible to people in the account holder. a real

san francisco. san francisco has had a great tradition of taverns. until the turn of the 20th century, there was one tavern for every 50 people in san francisco, more than churches. i think that is probably still true. the reason taverns were such a popular place was because working people needed a club. the bars or a place where ordinary men and women could gather, eat and drink, exchange information, but also due politics, raise funds, create a community. the eagle is in the best tradition of those kinds of community structures, the glue and held marginalized communities together, which is why i am very much opposed to the liquor license transfer. if we are looking at the needs of the community, the convenience and necessity of this, i want to tell you transferring this liquor license flies in the face of community convenience and necessity.
