Welcome to the may 23rd, 2019 regular meeting of the Public Safety and Neighborhood Services committee. I am the chair of the committee. To my right as vice chair stefani, to my left a supervisor walton. Our clerk is john carroll. I want to think matthew and corwin at San Francisco government t. V. For staffing the meeting. Do you have any announcements . Thank you, mr. Chair. Insert you silence your cell phones and electronic devices. Completed speaker cards and copies of any document should be cemented to the clerk. Items acted upon will appear in the june 4th, 2019 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated by motion. Please call our first item. Agenda item number 1 is the hearing to consider the promised apprentice premise beer and wine and Liquor License, during businesses a market located at 168 to 186 eddie. Great. Colleagues, we continue this item from the main ninth meeting to allow for the applicant to work out some conditions and get a signed document to the alu. I think we will hear from the alu first. So where are we on this . Good morning, supervisors. I am with the alcohol liaison unit at sfpd. We have come to the agreement the conditions for this type 21. The sale service and consumption of alcoholic beverages shall be permitted only between the hours of 7 00 a. M. And 12 00 a. M. Each day of the week. Petitioners should actively monitor the area under our control in an effort to prevent the loitering of persons on any property adjacent to the licensed properties. These conditions were signed as of may 16th. Can you explain the issue to me between a 7 00 a. M. Opening and 8 00 a. M. Opening . That was our recommendation is to have them start. It is hard understand why you need to be selling alcohol in the tenderloin at 7 00 a. M. It is difficult for us to agree on this as well, but working with a. B. C. , ultimately they hold license, it is a state license. We just provide our recommendations and after looking at, you know, the letters of support that came in the fact they are in the community and they do operate at a good level what we expect them to operate under, we were able to agree on the 7 00 a. M. Start time to help them out being that they are part of the community and they do well for everybody there. Thank you. Supervisors, this was pretty much heard the other day, i want to say if we could have the overhead, what we have here is one of the good players in the tenderloin who has been part of the community, part of the bid. The tenderloin neighborhood developments corporation, you have a letter in the file from dawn fault who is the c. E. O. They have a building where my client is now at 200 ellis street eddy street, they are moving across Taylor Street into a larger space in the hope is that we can create a Community Grocery store in the tenderloin with Fresh Produce. They have Fresh Produce now, but larger produce section and healthier foods for the community. Can you maybe explain, i mean it was enough of an issue that you wanted to negotiate whether the start time should be, the start time for the alcohol sale, but whether the alcohol sales should start at 8 00 a. M. Or 7 00 a. M. , and im curious why it is so important to start selling alcohol at 7 00 a. M. Thank you for the opportunity to explain. We have been in the business for many years and we have tried to manage the way it should be in the neighborhood and provide everything to the customers. This is not everything we did not want to have any confusion or any kind of conflict for the employees fresh food tends to be open at 6 00, but they can sell alcohol until seven. Even if we open at seven, two hours is a little bit of a gap in between for the local community. For some people, they do buy alcohol in the morning. Some stores, most of the stores open at 6 00, but we dont. We open at seven and that is a reason why there would be no problems with this or confusions great. All right. I dont see any comments or questions from my colleagues. Thank you. It appears that we have some Public Comment. I am seeing John Mccormick and shelley dyer and anyone else who would like to speak can line up over here on the right side. I am going to say a few things about Public Comment before he let you start. Speakers have two minutes. We as he state your first and last name and speak directly into the microphone. If you have prepared a written statement, you encourage you are encouraged to leave it with the committee clerk. No applause or booing is permitted. In the interest of time, we encourage speakers to avoid repetition of previous statements. My name is John Mccormick thank you for having us here today. I just wanted to say that it is a corner store that is a staple in the community and it is a neighborhood that does not have access to Healthy Foods and vegetables. Unfortunately, it is a reality that the viability of the business depends on selling liquor, and we wish that was in the case and we wish we didnt have to ask for this license, but we want to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables that can be sold in the neighborhood, and i just had a resident in the other day tell me that if he could buy more produce, he would, but the case that they have right now is small, it is not a very large unit, and if he was able to buy more produce, he would. This is amanda and s. R. O. Who does not have access to healthy vegetables or access to healthy food in the neighborhood. This would give us more access to the healthy fruits and vegetables that create healthy lives, that create healthy brains, that create educated citizens. This is an investment, not only in the tenderloin, but in San Francisco. When we have healthy people, we have healthy, educated citizens i can help us create a sustainable future. Please, please, please help us translate this Liquor License in order to get more healthy produce into the neighborhood. Thank you. Next speaker. Good morning, supervisors. I am a Program Supervisor for the Healthy Corner store coalition with the tenderloin develop and corporation. I work very closely with him to support him and in increasing the accessibility to produce within the tenderloin community. We are in support of them transferring this Liquor License one of the positives of this is it is not a request for a new license, even moving from his Current Location just across the street to the new Family Housing building. This means that residents that are living above the building will have access just below the residential units to have affordable and Fresh Produce. Within this plan, he is planning to expand the amount of produce that he is selling and just over the past year, or Small Business consultant round numbers were he selling four times more produce in the quarter one of 2019. Being willing to participate in any Community Engagement effort around nutrition and availability of fresh food that he has been able to increase himself and we are confident we will have even more Fresh Produce when he moves to the new location. He has assessed the financials and we do agree that he does need this liquor relations to survive. He is also providing more Fresh Produce. Thank you for the opportunity. Fifty of me agrees with what youre talking about. The other 50 of me is furious. I was just fine when i walked in here and you said his name and you assign the contract to him, and before i get started, i agree with everything that was said before hand and as far as liquor is being sold, you have to keep in mind that you have wiener wanting alcohol to be sold all the way to 4 00 in the morning. Is that clear . Don god damn fault, youve got threats of violence and verbal abuse against staff and tenants. We are going on six years of living in a hostile environment. [ bleep ] ill kill you, [ bleep ]. That is how i am being treated. I had to represent myself as my own attorney and restrain the courts against tenants and even actual one staff that work for him. He didnt do a god damn thing about it. [indiscernible] all of them like, the compliance monitor refused to give me equal opportunity in housing. You breached that contract. If youve got zero tolerance for threats of violence and verbal abuse, you are being arrested in there and [ bleep ] on the god damn premises where we live. Then we are not demonstrating and complaining about it. Understand me, they dont do a god damn thing about it. If you start whipping on them, then youll be charging me. I go through all the legal procedures get restraining orders and put them in jail, when they get out, they come back to the building. [indiscernible] thank you. Mr. Chair, the speakers time has concluded. [indiscernible]. Thank you, michael. [indiscernible] we cant let you talk more than Public Comment, but we can talk with you offline. Okay. Are there any other members of the public would like to speak before i close Public Comment . Seeing none maybe there was someone. Nope, you will be back. Okay. Public comment on item one is now closed. Colleagues, first i want to thank the a. L. U. And the applicant for working together to get the concerns that we had last time resolved. They have clearly brought Community Support for this. We have documents in order. Unless anyone has had concerns or objections, i think we can direct the clerk to prepare resolution and file public convenience and necessity for this application.
