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. I just feel like this is what i was born to do when i was a little kid i would make up performances and daydream it was always performing and doing something i feel if i cant do that than i cant be me me.

Here we are at the spur urban ken center and we are in this little house that was built to show what it is like in San Francisco after an earthquake. We are very pleased to have with us today, pat brown from the department of animal care and control and her friend oreo. Hi. Lauren. Could you tell us what it would take after an earthquake or some other emergency when you are in your home and maybe no power or water for a little while. What it would take for you and oreo to be comfortable and safe at home. Just as you would prepare for your own needs should an earthquake or a disaster event occur, you need to prepare for your pets. And i have brought with me today, some of the things that i have put in my disaster kit to prepare for my animals needs to make sure that i am ready should something happen and i need to shelter at home. What are some of the things that people should have in their home after an earthquake or other emergency to help take care of their tasks and take care of themselves. I took the liberty of bringing you some examples. It includes a first aid kit for your pet and you can also use it for yourself and extra meds for your pets. And water container that will not tip over. We have got both food, wet food and dry food for your pet. And disposable food container. And water, and your vet records. In addition, we have a collar and some toys. Yeah. To keep oreo busy. He needs toys and this is San Francisco being a fruity city and come on oreo. This is your dinner it is patte Style Chicken dinner with our foody seen here. What they say now is that you should have at least a gallon of water and i think that a gallon of water is small amount i think that maybe more like two gallons of water would be good for you and your pet. Does the city of animal control or any other agency help you with your pet after an emergency. There is a coalition of ngos, nongovernmental organizations led by the department of animal care and control to do disaster planning for pets and that includes the San Francisco spca. The paws group, the vet sos, pets unlimited. And we all have gotten together and have been getting together for over four or five years now to talk about how we can educate the public about being prepared for a disaster as it involves your pets. A lot of services. I understand that if you have to leave your home, we are encouraging people to take their pets with them. Absolutely. We think that that is a lesson that we concerned from karina, if you are being evacuated you should take your pet with you. I have a carrier, and you need to have a carrier that you can fit your pet in comfortably and you need to take your pet with you when you were evacuated. I am going to thank you very much for joining us and bringing oreo today. And i am go we have been without a major seismic event for over 20 years now. Will happen at a moments notice [ ] today we are practising the activation of our Department Emergency operations center. This is really an exercise for us to train and we are using fleet week and the entire the italian heritage festival as the exercise. We have four different sections that are working today. There is operations, and operations basically is our contact with people out in the fields. They are finding out how things are going, and if there are problems they are letting us know and we can identify through our action plan what what resources are needed and dispatch those resources. They will fill out reports and then the report gets to planning you will identify if Additional Resources need to be happening over a longterm timeframe and then they will provide for that by talking with our Logistics Staff. The logistic staff Logistics Staff is the one that will order labor, materials they will do that, first of all looking within our own organization, then if we dont have that within our own organization, they will contact the p. O. C. And then they will look at getting resources to us. And then last but importantly as our finance staff. And they are here to make sure that we first of all fill out all the paperwork so in an actual event, when the federal government will be reimbursing s. , then we are following the proper protocol, and they are also making sure the money is there in place. Today in the field we have the Environmental Service is following the parade, and doing the final cleanup of the parade. And an emergency situation they would likely be doing something similar to this, only with debris. Also in the field is the inspectors from the mapping. They are doing some live streaming. There is an intersection of beach making sure that everything is safe for our public, our visitors, and everyone participating in the event. There will be so many different departments working during a seismic event or any other kind of emergency. They will all have a separate action plan, and we are here making sure that for public works the action plan for that emergency event is actually followed through. Engineers will likely be doing Damage Assessment of roads bridges overhead passes, architects and engineers as well would be doing Damage Assessment of facilities and buildings. Building repair
