The next item on the agenda is item number two general Public Comment. Just a minute. Let me get this. Ah, yes, mr brook. Heres the speaker card. Thank you. And im ready. Hi my name is michael trellis and im here. On behalf of friend um. A fact friends and allies of the castro theater. And as you can see, i am holding up two signs. The first says another planet sucks. The other sign says castro needs films. So um, since another planet took over management of the castro theater. There have been 242 dark nights of absolutely no Programming Using the calendars from now until the end of january, 2024 there will be another 171 dark nights at the castro theater. No movies, no programming. No nothing at the castro theater. Ah what we really need this commission to put it on the agenda. What is happening at the castro theater now, um ive looked at your minutes since january of 2022 and not once. Has the castro theater and another planet been on your agenda. For some reason. The entertainment that we are getting from another planet. And then the dark night when we get no entertainment and the impact of no entertainment, no programs at this theater is never discussed by this panel. Now, stephen torres. Has parlayed his interest in the castro theater into a position on this commission. Hes been on this commission since october. And yet, not once. Has he put it on the agenda. How the ape greedy people or affecting his business at the twin peaks bar. Hes an industry representative, which is really a joke. Hes representing himself. That needs to end. Since steven has shown he has no interest in bringing the castro theater to your agenda. Um, asking the rest of you. As we are facing 171 dark nights from the castro theater, just put it on the agenda. How is the lack of programming affecting the businesses in the castro corridor . It should be a prime importance to stephen torres, but its not. But the month of august there will be only two programs that the castro theater that is unacceptable again. We need this commission to look at another planet and the castro theater. Thank you. Thank you. Is there additional Public Comment for items not listed on the agenda. No more Public Comment for this item. Okay Public Comment is closed. The next item on the agenda is item number three approval of minutes for the august 1st 2023 commission meeting. Do we have a motion . Motion to approve second. Could i make an amendment . Actually um , just, uh, that with the comments made by the representative of the district that their title being noted as director and. That the first comment in regard to opposition was opposition predicated on um commitments that were amenable to the tenants as well. There was a nuance to the opposition. Just if we could annotate that. Okay . Do we. Do we have to adjust the motion motion to approve with commissioner torres is adjustments second. Hey can we have a roll call, please. Or actually, its time for Public Comment. Is there any Public Comment . On the minutes . Yes. Yes. Hello Michael Petrella is again still from fact, friends and allies of the castro theater. Regarding the minute here on item. See about the, um , petition for limited Live Performance at the micro black storefront on Market Street under the Public Comments, it will list someones name say that theyre a neighbor and then commented in opposition or commented in support. Of the permit application. Um well, that is good information. What is missing is knowing just a little bit about why they opposed the permit or why they were in favor of the permit. And, um i think that, um you need to look at revising your minutes to include a little bit of information about why people have slept all the way down here to city hall, or they called into the meeting to make comment to tell us. Um just a little bit about their position. Um. Now regarding comments from tina aguirregaray, um, she takes to identifying factors here, she says. Shes a community member. Any representative from the castro lgbt cultural district, and she commented in opposition to the permit application. Ah as someone who monitors this cultural district. I can tell you that they have not had any public discussion about the micro black application, so im really curious without having to look at the video from your last meeting. Why tina was taking this position. She really would have been speaking only for herself, and if she thinks she was representing the cultural gesture, eqt as some sort of representative of the community , i would challenge her on that. Regarding item seven, tina geary says again as a representative of the cultural district. She thanks the staff for their work offer help to mitigate discussions between businesses and neighbors. Um thats really rich. Um we dont get any discussion from the cultural district. About their positions regarding the castro theater and what theyre gonna say here. So, um thank you for listening. Okay thank you there additional Public Comment on this item. There are no more comments on this item public. Comment is now closed. Can we have a vote, please . One second. Sorry ah, we are doing a vote. Yes um, president camino. I as. I commissioner thomas commissioner torres, right. Hey the Meeting Minutes have been approved.

Next item on the agenda is number five report from the Senior Inspector. Thank you, president camino. Good evening commissioners. We have received 37 311 complaints since our last Commission Hearing on august 1st. I have just one update below. Please let me know if you have any questions. Update is about vanity nightclub located at 4 12. Broadway street, vanity holds a p o e and any hp permit with our office. On monday, july 1st permanent officers saying of Central Station notified Deputy Director as a veto of an incident that occurred outside of vanity on sunday, july 30th at 10. Pm officers saying reported vanity security had denied entry to an individual because they observed that the individual was carrying a rifle in his pants. Patron was told that he could not enter the venue with the weapon. But then security failed to contact sfpd. Once the, uh. Yeah failed to contact sfp v wants the rifle was observed. Then the individual who was carrying the weapon and his group were later involved in a robbery, then assaulted other bystanders in front of vanity. Officers saying stated that the call for service was generated for an assault and requesting an ambulance, sfpd Central Station nor the ec received an incident report from management. As per sfpd. The following violations were observed on july 30th. Not all security staff were wearing their designated uniform. 911 was not immediately called when the security found a patron trying to enter the club with a rifle in their clothes, and there was no incident reports submitted within 24 hours of the assault that occurred later that evening, Deputy Director azevedo issued a citation on august 4th. For the aforementioned permit violations should also be noted that Deputy Director as a veto, attended a meeting with the permit holder and sfpd Central Station captain morino. Permit officers saying and lieutenant gains to discuss the incident. Permitting explained that the effect that Effective Immediately they will no longer be working with the promoter who had been hosting the sunday night events. Okay, commissioners. Any questions, comments . I just have one do regarding the last part, which. I suppose i appreciate that. They wont you know if they found the promoter particularly problematic, obviously in that they connected this to the to the incident. But do they also, um, indicate that theyre going to be following the guidelines are supposed to be following thank you, commissioner. Tourist yes, absolutely. So there is more to come on this first and foremost, the applicant is working on a revised security plan, and then they already all are aware that there will be a directors order to follow to ensure that they are adhering to that, so they have a deadline of submitting that revised security plan by friday, the 18th and then at that time director weiland will issue the revised. Excuse me the directors order. To adhere to the revised security plan. Um and officers saying and i will be going through that closely. Thank you. I had a question. Does the venue have a history of incidents with police . Can you be a little more specific or what is what do you mean by that . I mean, just in terms of like police calls coming to the venue regarding incidents of violence. They know that they said that they will, you know, not work with this promoter. But in terms of past experiences and just curious if its been flagged. Sundays specifically with this promoter have been the problem. Um and which is why specifically, the venue has moved to eliminate working their partnership with them otherwise, officers saying had reported along with an attendance on that meeting was the night lieutenant who often is in the you know when the entertainment is occurring no other issues throughout the week. Its specifically the sunday night party. Okay. Thank you. I guess i do have another question. I know that outside lands is not our jurisdiction. But can you share any, um i dont know. Whats the t when we hear about complaints that were coming in the 311, so we wouldnt receive any of those complaints directly. Those would have been queued to reckon park. Um so i dont have any knowledge of sound complaints, but im happy to check in with their permit staff and see what the numbers are like and see if its comparable to other years. Theyve let me know that its year over year been very similar for quite some time and less. Theyre up for a public hearing in that particular year. Then there might be more complaints. So im an Interesting Data point. Um i went on saturday and i enjoyed my experience. Its always so beautiful in the park and great to see it. Ah totally lit up and filled with people and all of the live music everywhere. Um and its almost already totally packed in, um i
