Festival. He did the food event. He has partnered with our sound inspectors in the city for smaller events. I have photos of the stage i can show them if you would like to take a look . I just want to know the experience. Yeah. Although you are pointing away from the hotels, but sometimes we get across the bay the sound travels. So they are used to handling things like that. But its such a small, these are small groups, right . Local. Yeah, like garage bands. Huge systems. The grammy award winner, i was chatting with the owen brothers today on the phone. And really they do fourpart harmony. They actually sing the National Anthem at big events. And they are big on vocals and not big on a lot of thumping base. Its not like an edm metal concert. Its look at our musicality not how loud we can be. Ironically we took a look at who is going to be complaining and the only potential nuisance would be the north apartments which are on the other side. So we are projecting the music towards alcatraz essentially. And on the other side we have the Apartment Building. Weve let them know about whats happening. Ironically all the hotels, they are all on the Port Commission board, and they want this, you know, this event and really the businesses do to promote foot traffic and get everybody down there. So we dont have a lot of people not wanting it. Theres been a lot of festivals encouraged, because its been a bad kind of tourist summer so a lot of the neighborhoods are asking people like yourself to produce activation to bring in more foot traffic. One of the beautiful things about this too, so the wharf cares program is near to dear to my heart. The ambassadors are creating a situation of warmth for the homeless where they can provide blankets and refer referrals into Mental Health and other services. People that dont want to spend the admission for the chowder competition, they can watch the event, bring a basket of food and eat and enjoy the day. So im trying to make this as much of a fun event for everybody and accessible for everyone, you know. Great. So yeah, so as far as projection, i talked to tony today for sound, and we are excited about having him come by 11 amon11 00 a. M. A. M. On saturday. I think there will be two orthree sound checks throughout the day. The band will be landing at 11 a. M and there will be another one at 3 30 for the band when they get set up. I will be mindful of where we are putting that extra sound. Okay. Thank you. Yeah. Im wondering if theres any other sort of descriptors i can provide or other visuals. I brought other photos. I dont know if thats needed or whatever you think. Im okay on descriptors. I have a question. I understand we are asking, and this may be partially for the staff as well but you are asking for a onetimex pangs onetime expansion. Raymond wasnt requesting this, he applied for the onetimeout Door Entertainment permit and i flagged it because it looks like a larger event and he was having several bands and the footprint looked bigger so i had crystal reach out to see could he comply with the condition which is in Municipal Police code to the inaudible at 250 feet from the property playing at the event or the last attending audience member. And he said he really couldnt comply with that. And he wanted a little more leeway. And so our condition is its not super specific in terms of what their sound limit is because we need to go out when they have the event set up and be there for sound checks. Were asking you allow us to administratively set that limit based on the closest sensitive receptor which is likely far beyond 250 feet. Got it. Thank you. One of my concerns really is i work at the building for the Fishermans Wharf benefit district. And we have a lot of these street performers that come in and i can sometimes hear from my office which is a few blocks away i can hear the performers that are right there at the triangle lot. So i guess as it exists, the community is used todayly amplified sound just because of where the location is. But to be sensitive to you within that 250foot range if i have somebody on a mic the mc for the event and i have the cover band performing and they go beyond one city block just to be mindful and be within guideline. We want to let you know and be up front about stuff. I think i mean when they did the americas cup they had this big debate whether they have their big concert stage. Usually its great for you to come out because you never know on the hill who is going to complain but i think in this case its a more local festival. I dont think youre going to have that problem. Thats why i was asking who is running your sound. And thats your key. If you have somebody experienced then you shouldnt have complaints. But this is nothing compared to what was down there for americas cup. Yeah. And also they did a big presentation for i think it was the nba a few years ago on pier 39 and that was another amplified sound event. So this is not the first time its been done. Its now its a little more structured. Our goal would be to try to make this more robust of an event on a annual basis and bring more money into wharf cares. The street artists come under the street performer. Doesnt really come under our purview. Thats the thing. One time they tried to figure that out, you know, but. Our goal is we have the receiver the zefer. We are motivated to end this by 8 00 p. M. And get people into the bars and restaurants as part of the business promotion. Our goal was to bring in proceeds for wharf cares but promote the local businesses. So we are not going to go far beyond 8 to anow a annoy people. I think its good. I would encourage you to aim the speakers towards oakland because they are outside of our jurisdiction. Berkeley. Aim it towards berkeley. I think weve heard enough unless anybody has more questions. Ready for a motion . Thank you. You can have a seat. Thank you guys. Im really excited. And please come by on saturday. We would love to have you. I would like to open this up for Public Comment. We do have a commentator. This should be one of the chowder judges. Good evening commissioners. I just want to also give kudos to randal and rachel from the Community Benefit district at Fishermans Wharf. The business there is like a roller coaster ride. Today was completely dead. So events like this help merchants it keeps the vie vibrance. The fact that we are having this discussion, i mean, is great. Theres a Michael Jackson performer. Theres a sinatra performer. They are not permitted performers. They just come up randomly whenever they want so to speak. But having this discussion today, we are ready and we know what we are getting. I commend this gentleman here. Wharf fest is going to be very successful. I think it will be sold out. This is not a first time event. They have a history behind this event. So i just think that this one in particular, the music is going to be really cool this year. So im all for it. Thank you. Anymore Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Do we have a motion . Ill raise the motion to approve it with the staff and the sfpd recommendation, the two conditions for approval. I second the motion. [roll call] it has been approved. Thank you very much. Congratulations. Please follow up with our staff at your earliest convenience for next steps. Thank you. Good luck. All right. And the final agenda item is agenda item number 7 which is commissioner comments and questions. You know how we have maybe this for commissioner falzon, since we havent had Police Comments in a while the permit officers from each district with come and air their frustrations or any suggestions of improvement or promotions maybe that we can do to beef up entertainment in their districts. Im happy to make that offer yes. Its been both kaitlyn and crystal have been really great at educating them on any changes within staff and showing them the map of our permitted places and we are working with each permit officer directly on any enforcement action. So theyve been super engaged administratively. But i agree it would be great to see them in here. You know, weve all been doing a lot of thinking around our mandate beyond just the regulation of night life but also the promotion of night life. And there are a lot of moments where when we are listening to different groups, tonight was really beautiful. We had someone from calle24 and we had the wharf fest. These are legacy businesses. Theres a lot of history there. And im starting to become more curious what their outreach strategy includes. As we think about how we create a platform for promoting night life as a city agency, i think we need to incorporate more learning in our permitting process around what our permit holders and what people are doing to just engage at this point. I want to have an understanding of its like street team activities, is it facebook. I mean, im very curious what strategies people are employing as we look at all the articles that are coming out in the newspapers these days, we are seeing the businesses close and we do a count of how many businesses have closed since the beginning of this year im curious as to how many are starting to open. One two, how many are becoming a permit holder and are becoming part of the commission and how Many Services they are utilizing, whether its through the outdoor event producer series what kind of ta programs they are utilizing within oewd and mohcd. I think we are kind of in crisis for Small Businesses at this point. And i think its sad. I think every sunday paper we are learning about all these different businesses closing. Thats a great idea, especially because i think we are so close to the problem and these permit holders. And i think oftentimes when we hear that a business closes theres another one that opens in its place. So its good to know what our story is and what these Business Owners are doing to still activate their spaces. I think staffwise we can definitely do a lot more data analysis, which i think would be really interesting to do, especially to look at all the businesses that closed and see which held permits from us and then what happened with that space, so i think Deputy Director azevedo can work with van houghton on that and then just on the intake side, we could always ask more questions in our permit application meaning thats totally relevant. And we should just talk offline and see if theres anything we can include in the applications. And during our retreat i think we should powwow around the different kinds of questions we should be asking so anecdotally when people are coming in front of our commission well be able to learn what tools people are utilizing to promote their establishments and how we can better promote night life. The other option is this is a previous mandate from a previous president of the commission, but if you want to know more about these limited Live Performance permits i know it definitely speeds up our agenda to have them all on consent. If you want to know more about their stories, we can change that up and have them on the regular agenda. Its really up to the president. Well, thank you for those comments. I had a couple things. Does anybody else have comments . First of all, seeing that calle 24 bundling of llps and grant program, i think its something we need to take a much smarter look at. I think theres probably tens and tens of different neighborhood corridors that might be able to use that. And i think our goal, at least my goal and i think our goal should be more llps at the minimum across entire city so theres more opportunities for artists and performers to play and our culture is more vibrant. So that was really cool. And im shocked that i was unaware of it before, and thats on me. I also think that we got to the point of Small Businesses reaching out. Last monday there was a pretty heated discussion at the Small Business commission on the proposed fees around go boxes. And i think some of the legislatures legislators are starting to see how frustrated Small Business people are especially in the service industry. And i know that a lot of businesses feel like they cant raise their prices anymore and continue to do business. And thats a serious issue. And i commend anyone with an environmental mind who wants to change Human Behavior and wants to produce less waste in San Francisco. Its a crushing issue of our time. Im just hoping that we find ways to do that that dont also force Small Businesses to continually raise their prices. For the record, beer and a burger at my bar in the mission is currently 27 with a tip. And our burger is not that good. Ill put that on camera here. Its okay. But its not that good. [laughter] thats a lot of money for a burger and a beer and everybody sits around talking about how millennials are ordering online and changing their buying habits and austria try having student debt and spending 27 on a burger and beer and you would come up with other buying habits yourself. Finally it takes a lot for a government body to surprise me in this day and age. But i encourage you to read up on the responsible Beverage Service act that has been proposed and now is being implemented by the california abc. It is very rare that i see a steaming pile of turd this large that affects Small Businesses in our state. What they are proposing which they did in a very quick timeline, essentially over the summer break when nobody was paying attention, they are trying to create a new bureaucracy in the state which will actually force every Single Person who serves alcohol to sign up in the dmvlike state setting in order to just serve alcohol. It will rival the dmv in size and scope. I know personally many servers in the city who would be uncomfortable putting their name into a database for various Different Reasons not the least of which are things happening on the federal level around Immigration Enforcement et cetera. It also requires a brand new extremely onerous basically collegelevel course for everybody to complete and get at least a 70 percent on before they can serve alcohol. And they are offering it in just two languages, english and spanish taking out the literally hundreds of other languages that people serving alcohol in california have to or speak as their first language. It also makes the id process incredibly difficult for checking ids. To the point where it will slow down business and really, really hurt business what they are proposing. Its a solution in search of a problem. The Public Comment time is over now. But anybody watching and anybody else watching this, i would encourage you to reach out to your state representatives your local representatives, scream it from the rooftops that this is exactly what we do not need right now. Its a solution in search of a problem. So i just wanted to point that out. Is there any Public Comment on our comments and questions . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And i will adjourn this meeting at 6 19 p. M. Thank you. In this San Francisco office there are about 1400 employees. And theyre working in roughly 400,000 square feet. We were especially pleased that cleanpowersf offers the super green 100 clean energy not only for commercial entities like ours but also for residents of the city of San Francisco. We were pleased with the package of services they offered and were now encouraging our employees who have residence in San Francisco to sign on as well.
