public comment, ace on the case washington. >> i am on the case and i have been born and raised in the fillmore, and in the hill, no more. and the issue here that i am coming here to speak on and i was coming to say, i am not objective, but i need, and we need to know what the hell they think that they are doing. and now, here they are coming back again, in our community and the audacity to show up here, to shows the competence here or shows some cockiness in which we need ace on the case i am very disappointed. and yes, i will come back, to find out what they plan on doing. i don't know what the procedures of the entertainment commission, but the audacity of michael johnson and his partners which i know some of them, and some of their new partners i know them too. and i can't even speak to michael johnson obviously, and he thinks that it is for the entertainment commission and so we marked that. and right now, i am going through the redevelopment agency and trying to sit down with whoever they are for the out reach. and we can't even speak to them. and so, right now, it is a bad mark, but it c

fan and a consultant in the city but i would like to speak as a patron and lover of yoshis in the fillmore. first i would like to say as long as the applicant meets all of the codes and requirements which seems to be i would ask you to approve this. part of the problems may be from the other ownership was the music from the frontage which probably leaked and that's why there were noise complaints. the music space itself which is dedicated for music, built for music and the sound is contained in the room. i have been to many shows, spinners, natalie cole, stylistics. we need to keep that detroit, san francisco sound alive in the area in an area deemed for live music and i urge you to support this with any conditions that the police department has and obviously after you review them but keep music alive in the fillmore. thank you. >> thank you. all right. well, the matter is now with the commission. and the police conditions again -- i am wondering if you could read those quickly. >> yeah, i will read them and hand them to you. i'm sorry they're not in the binder. basically approve with the

and a company that is located on webster street, and in the fillmore area and thank you, madam chair, and supervisors, i would like to thank the san francisco african american chamber of commerce here, today and i am for bringing this issue to the forefront and i would like the incubator idea and i think that it has been presented, and i just want to execute on that opportunity. and i also like to expand on that idea, and look into the supporting the existing businesses such as red gifer who has just provided in the jails to provide the jobs to the under served communities to reduce resistism. and also a member of the san francisco, african american, chamber of commerce and also the naacp for years and resulting to having the conversations to support all of the minorities and small businesses and inclusion and the diversity and the travel hospitality and my goal is to have the multiple business owners up here testifying next year about how they have benefited from this initiative that has been brought before you by the san francisco. we want to see the execution and the delivery that

we cannot promote it in is of itself, we can create the finishing designation and working with the fillmore leadership, business that we would love to and work with the merchant's association there, and we are working with the merchant's associations in a number of different areas, to help, create them and to show them how to promote the neighborhood as a whole and what were some of the efforts that we are trying to pursue. >> all right. are you able to give me some i guess, i guess, so you ultimately you are saying that you have to be a member of the organization, and the next question is what kind of recruitment or advertisement or how do you let people know that hey, the membership organizations please, come and join us. >> we go into, well, first of all when we hear of the leads, and we have a whole staff, that basically is paid to do that and they go and reach out to any business that they see that falls within their area. so, it bohooves them to reach out and on top of that, now, we do, again, look to the leadership of each neighborhood and so your neighborhood merchant associations a
