I wanted to provide an update for all of you that we have been conducting some Community Outreach efforts as staff and really in gratitude to Deputy Director azevedo for leading the charge. But in educating neighborhoods in merchant corridors around our limited Live Performance permits specifically and around other permit offerings that we have. A few months back, she had attended a merchants town meeting and recently we spoke at the Cultural CenterDepartment Meeting for all the Cultural Centers in San Francisco regarding places of entertainment and other ways to activate their spaces with entertainment. And on tonights agenda there are four permits for Small Businesses on the 24th street corridor in the mission. Latino cultural district awarded four businesses a mini grant to pay for their llp permit. So thats what brings them here tonight. So we are really excited about that. And also we are pleased that all their applications are on the Consent Agenda. Theyve done a lot of outreach in preparation for tonight. And we are very pleased they are joining our community. I wanted to let you know about that. And we are happy to continue to promote night life and entertainment opportunities via outreach and education in these ways. Thats all i have. Questions for director weiland . Thank you very much. Looking forward to the retreat this friday. Is there any Public Comment on the directors report . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. The next agenda item is number 4, which is a report from Deputy Director azevedo. Thank you president bleiman. Good evening commissioners. So the enforcement report, i just have a few things highlighted here for you this evening if you want to go ahead and follow along here. So page 1 youll see ive highlighted this. We received a large amount of complaints about the olympic in a concentrated period of time and upon investigation determined that they are not having Live Entertainment. Its just a loud bar. So we did respond to that. But i wanted to mention what the recourse was there since weve had a lot of complaints. On page 6 youll see 22 is highlighted. I brought this up at a hearing recently as well. Just giving you an update that we are still trying to get in contact with ownership there, management wont give ownership information. But we have a managers email address. They are still having Live Entertainment, fullblown Live Entertainment. So the next step is that ill be sending an email out notifying them they have another week. And if they are still having entertainment within that week we will be issuing a citation. So we are following up there. Page 8 youll see that 3910 lounge is highlighted. And this business had closed. So they were recently, this year granted a poe permit and mad permit. But due to somali core license due tosome Liquor License situation they are closed. I received a call from sfpd permit officer day that he received notification that the hotel has outdoor speakers on the facade of the building. And they are stopping homeless folks from staying too long outside the hotel but its disruptive to People Living in the nearby vicinity. So technically this falls into an s path or fixed place amplified speaker permit. So inspector fiorentino went out this weekend to gather contact information. When he went the speakers were off. I will be following up with the management to see if they are using the speakers and if so we can have our first permit. That is all i have highlighted but im happy to answer any questions. Hello. Let me start with a question first. Do our investigators have the capability of writing an incident report or do we just Issue Citations . We have notice of violation which is a step below citation but we dont have what we would call an instant report. Every time you issue a notice of violation you send it along with a narrative in your email that is very detailed and could constitute an incident report. Im just looking at the kave22 and the refusal to provide the owners information. I actually think its a violation of our local laws but its a violation of the abc act. And making notification to abc would trigger an investigation on them. If they want to be that noncompliant that might be the most effective route. Okay. But im happy to make that notification on the commissions behalf that this occurred. If we dont have but it might be something to think about down the road. Maybe kind of an incident report way of memorializing what we are doing. Doesnt have to be really complicated. Maybe on friday. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for that. Thank you for the report. I have no comments personally. Is there any Public Comment on the Deputy Directors report. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Moving along. Agenda item number 6, which is Police Department questions and comments. I dont see any members from the Police Department here so we are going to move along as well. Im sorry, that was 5. Yep, that was 5. And then moving along to number 6 which is a hearing impossible action regarding applications for permits under the jurisdiction of the Entertainment Commission. And Deputy Director azevedo please introduce the items on Consent Agenda for this evening. Thank you. As director weiland mentioned four permits tonight are mini grant funded, which is very exciting. However all five permits on the Consent Agenda this evening are accessory use permits. There was no opposition submitted. The Respective Police districts had no conditions. And they had a lot of neighborhood support gathered. Happy to answer any questions if you have them. Our representative from calle24 here . I have a few good questions for you. Do you want to call specific businesses or. More curious about the program that theyve put together and how they implemented it. Hello, good evening. Im the liaison for the calle latino cultural district. Got it. So thank you for coming in. We really appreciate it. This is the first ive heard of this. Its pretty exciting to me. Can you explain what motivated you to do this and how you went about doing it because i think it might be a model for others. The cultural district became a cultural district five years ago. It is in an effort to bring a more cohesive community, invested in the neighborhood and businesses, so it was a grant that was allocated by the department of diane . Okay. By the department. So we got a grant for some businesses that were long time businesses within the latino cultural district recently established that met some criteria. The criteria was they had to be in the neighborhood for quite a while. They could host some sort of Live Entertainment. Their lease would be at least three years long as of this time. I think that was it. And so based on this criteria, i went from business to business to see how many of them would qualify for this grant. And if there was any interest in this grant. And so it is more for businesses that whose primary business is not Live Entertainment or music or poetry, things like that, right . So we came up with, we have on the list a bakery, we have on the list a small tiny Family Business restaurant that doesnt seat more than 25 people. We have a bookstore. So it was very exciting for us to come up with this idea, there was a lot of interest. Very many wanted to participate. And so its just a matter of our board actually looking through the paperwork that i have provided them. And then they wrote it. And thats how we arrived to today. Diana . Just to provide a little context. From the office of workforce development. So its one of our grantee partners in terms of through our invested neighborhoods program. Part of the grant is to support Technical Assistance with Small Businesses on the ground, activations, events, and so the Mini Grant Program grew out of that support to support the entire Economic Strategy for the corridor. So obviously its a cultural district with lots of events, cultural things happening. In the past there had been entertainment naturally happening in these restaurants. And it went away. So we also saw this as a way to strengthen what was already there to make it more vibrant and for businesses to be able to participate in a way that was within regulation. So with gabbys support as our Business Liaison on the ground for the cultural district, she was able to help and work directly with the department with the Entertainment Commission to help them through the process. Because a lot of times its not even necessarily the money but its also the bureaucracy the understanding of how to do that. So she served as our liaison to get them through that process and be able to package it in a way that would be accessible to these Small Businesses. So with that, part of the funding provided the initiation for the grant and to get that through to benefit overall the overall strategy of the area and the district itself. So this is the first four. And well see how it goes from there. But we are super excited to be here, to be supporting that and for them to be a part and collaborate as there are activations along the corridor not just individually on their own and being able to use it as a tool for revenue and to support themselves but also to be part of the Bigger Picture when there are events and to be able to leverage that for the entire corridor. Do you know if they have plans to replicate this program in other neighborhoods . Yes. I know theres been discussions in the bayview. And we are looking at it from this model well be looking at other cultural districts and how we can support that in the same way. Cool. So do you educate them as well, you know, about the good neighborhood policies and all that . I mean because having a permit is one thing but to understand how to not disturb the neighbors to keep going. I think thats a very key piece of the neighborhood the local calle 24 cultural district wanted to be responsible in terms of a permit of what it means and also to protect themselves in in terms of what responsibilities come with the permit itself. So thats part of actually gabbys job as the liaison. Shes not only liaison to Small Businesses but also with the community. Its very well integrated into it. Great. Well, im really excited about this. I think this might be a model that could be used all over the city to encourage artists and performers and venues for hiring people. So thank you very much for contributing here. This is really cool. Its great to hear. Thank you. Did you have something you wanted to say too . Im one of the founders of the calle 24. We have a board of 19. We have four committees under us. We will be watching them and guiding them and looking for anything that is out of line and trying to make it work for everybody. Thank you very much. Its great work. And great work for the ewe. Is there any Public Comment on this specific agenda item . I mean the consent the entire consent calendar . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Wait. Im sorry. Motion. We have to motion first. I didnt make the motion yet. Ill make the motion to approve. I second. All right. Now we got it. All right. [roll call] congratulations. Its been approved. Please follow up with our Deputy Director as soon as you can for next steps. Thank you. Good luck. Congratulations. All right. And now we have a onetime event permit request. And im going to ask commission aid crystal stewart to introduce this for us. The only item on the regular agenda is for one timeout Door Entertainment event for the seventh annual on saturday october 19 from 11 to 8 30 p. M. From 12 to 3 there will be a chowder competition between local restaurants. And four local bands will play. At 4 00 p. M. They will host a benefit concert featuring four bands including the slide deal with grammy winning artist charlie collins. And frazier of sugar lake and joel and scott owen of the pawnshop kings. The concert stage will be positioned toward the bay with film projected away from the local businesses and hotels along jefferson street. The applicant requested to attend tonights hearing because they anticipate exceeding the Standard Outdoor sound regulations of npc260. 16. Staff recommendations and Entertainment Commission inspectors set a sound prior to the event during a sound check based on the closest receptor. We approve with conditions listed below. I have sullivan here to speak on behalf of his application. Its great to be here. Thank you for having me and hearing me at the end. Im excited. I have a jump drive. I can show pictures and things of the set map. Just tell me if thats appropriate. Its right here, im going to just pop it in. With technology you never quite know whats going to happen. I have a degree in computer science. Then we are lucky. This will be the one we dont need a. I will go ahead and show you. Give you a visual. I dont know if you can really see it if its big enough. You can see our stage over here. Can you see that okay . We are pretty familiar with the spot. There we go. Can you hear me okay . Sorry. Give me a second here. Sorry. Have to rotate i think. I think that works. We can see it. I can enlarge it a little bit. We have individual monitors. So you can see how we configured this years event. The way the footprint looks its in front of the bakery and right between the francisco and pier 39 is off to the right there. So really how we are really thinking of doing this is starting our event at 11 00 a. M. For v. I. P. Guests. We have a v. I. P. Lounge furniture with donated furniture for the day. We are paying for the shipping for it. We have our v. I. P. Area. And youll see the stage. And the greenrooms in the back. And so the idea would be to have we have four bands going on. We are going to be opening with a band called the heather nation, shes a cover band, local lady and real mellow Acoustic Guitar type sound. Shell be starting at noon and going until 1 30 and the other band, the cary bailey band, swing music followed by a group called the walking dead, a cover band more 90s grunge rock sound going into the side deal which is our new super group a new band these guys ive been dealing with them today on the phone. Great group. Its three grammy award winners. Its stan frazier from the pawnshop kings weve got Charlie Colins from train who is a grammy Award Winning song writer. Theyve gotten together and formed this group. So they are using this as their launch event for their new album. So while all this music is playing during the day, we are going to start our chowder competition at 12 p. M so we are going to do three hours of chowder tasting with vintners beer. I believe mayor breed is going to award the chowder trophy. We have five chowder judges that will be voting on who gets the best chowder. From there the event turned from a foody, wine thing into a music kind of a rock n roll event. It goes from the really the focus on the music will be from 4 00 p. M. Until about 8 p. M. And it will end up wrapping up at 8 p. M. So its a complex event. But its nonetheless it will be kind of fun. All the benefits and proceeds go to wharf cares which is our benefit program. I have a question. Sure. Who is running your sound system . We have a guy we are working with called glen, called audio north. And he is going to be handling all the sound for the tonight. Have they done Outdoor Events before . Yeah. We got him from the wine 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.
