President tan commissioner joseph congratulations again, im going to turn it over to lisa nor cognizant of the project than i am i building weve passed all our inspections and requesting a grants rather than a continual grant other than lisa. Is this timer going to starts i want to check and see off so you dont have the presentation but should be there. Oh, there it is. Whoops i proceeded i dont know how to make it go back with the mouse ill explain what urban solution is for 2 two years urban Solutions Built more better neighbors one best at that time, in under served neighborhoods and phil the vasectomies we firmly believe that vacancies creates a vacant and create the better to be safe than sorry businesses to assess the capital and help them with the leases and provide Technical Support one of the things we do we help to activate merchant corridors and we have been active in the fillmore merchant corridor for over 20 years that concludes my report. The merchants in the lower fillmore neighborhood helping them with the ramping and access to capital and putting on events and marketing and others aspects to bring feet on the streets to the lower fillmore we working closely with the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development and as part of the work supporting the lower of him corridors we were asked to activate the former business folks in the neighborhood and machineries have been suffering by having a huge, huge space empty for so long and in fact, it was our understanding that when the building was built the fillmore Heritage Center the neighborhood and local residents will have access to the space and now the space is not being used as a entertainment venue it is important we have the space open and qualified so were honoring the commitment to the neighborhoods and the residents and also our neighborhood merchants can benefit from having feet on the streets rather than scott wagner an enormous vacant storefront as part of project we put together a enormous program to benefit the neighborhood and the idea is that we will have the fillmore Heritage Center open and available for events maine for the communities to rent the space and it will be available through december 2016 when we first started the project back in january our original plan to activate 4 spaces therapy the art gallery, the Screening Room, the lobby which is basically the walkway tattoos parking garage and the Cocktail Lounge so we built how plan on that and thought oh, people can have an event not art gallery a show or invite folks and have a Film Festival going on in the neighborhood but really become obvious people said if youre activating this we want to put on a show and designed for music go where is the music so coming from that we spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to have music and we have successfully had 3 music events had a salsa festival and concerto and had to keep on going to the teamster to pull a oneday license and finally jocelyn contacted us and suggested we come and receive an apartment permits only activated until december but such desire to use it as intends thats why were here for our place of entertainment grant. As you can see we have a website where folks in the neighborhood can see what we have available whoops how do i make it go to the next oh, whoops no, i cant say go backwards no going back im sorry not clear for i apologize one of the things we have a technically training call big tech for small buzz i could benefit we help the businesses with technologies and help to build their biz and what happens after december 2016. The city will issue an rfp to get the building sold this is activating the building while in the process while the rfp process is there we dont want it sitting there by. And planning to hold how many more events there four months period. Funny you should ask to events that we have people that have confirmed theyre interested we have a report. Weve had 13 events since we went active and officially the kickoff at the end of may may 27 a migration ceremony and hosts june 18th that was amazing and then it is gone on and folks interested in having business presentations and town hall meeting a nonprofit that is using the restaurants area to have a symposium on fundraising and the supervisor candidates meeting and poetry and talk shows and merchant bizarre as well as a halloween masquerade. I get it. Does that answer your question. Now it is available people are interested in it happen and as parts of grants agreement with the office of Economic Workforce Development were making live Space Available at low rays for the community and the rentals rate commissioner crews 6 security guards they include janitorial services, and includes staff time so it is all of our effort of marking the Space Available and assessable to the community to have events and activate the space. So we have done considerable did you have a question. Yeah. He did you said the rental includes 6 security guards. Is youre actually 6. It is depend on the space their renting for instance, for the theatre the occupancy is 4 hundred and 17 so we will as part of rental fee that will cover that of security guards will be covered as their rental fee and require people renting it to have more security. Do you have people represent that simultaneously like the Cocktail Lounge and the theatre at the same time. Nates thats not happened we have people interested in renter the Screening Room but all connected to the same events. Therefore the occupancy went up to what. The Screening Room has an occupancy of 39 can i ask another question during the fence is alcohol served or a indicatorer. It depends on the event some events have alcohol it requires that the events host pull a abc license and then, of course, needs to have that with someone that is either the carter or the absent license. Kibitzing. You want to keep ongoing with their presentation. Sure weve spoken about the outreach and a considerable number of supporters people that have hosted events and looking forward to hosting more as you can see we have the support of supervisor president london breeds and Mayors Office of Economic Workforce Development weve reached out the hoa the lower i fillmore are Merchants Association and individuals merchants and neighbors and the Fillmore Group has submitted their letters of support. So i love your line feed on the streets that is awesome that is great i guess my question to you is that it is a great says that a great neighborhood theres a lot of jazz and great music going on there why do you have any idea why it didnt work before and how are you been well have you a short timeframe if it workers or didnt work your timeframe is short. Yeah. For this the purpose of this project so activated it with specific events where people are advertising them theyre either public or private events but their advertised it hard to support a 4 hundred space jazz jazz is a smaller intimate venue. Thats a great answer. Okay. Thank you. Commissioner lee. Can you tell me how do you screen or use i mean a ton of nonprofits and a ton of different causes im curious how you go b. A. About you know wanting to know, you know who will be a great consumer for this evening will all your venues stop at midnight. My dads says nothing good happens after midnight laughter . Her dad lived in. Now my son a becoming a teenager im sticking by that i know that is on tv. So the way we are screening is first for the most part the priority to folks the neighborhood that have neighborhood connections saying look we want to put something on life giving and viable for our neighborhoods for the most part folks inviting people that know people that automatically kind of changes the tone of the fence because of people that know each and everyone we require anyone having an events provide their permit application you have to put in a deposit and have to go through the process of getting additional Events Insurance and may the city and county of San Francisco naming them an, an insured that kind of stops people like if youre not going to do that how will you be organized to put on a events. Your security plan we discussed a few meetings good i think this is the First Security plan with an activate shutter plan we had a discussions a while back and seems cover is a good model for a lot of the night clubs in the city im impressed on the items owe commend you you dont need such a plan. You dont i hope not but thank the gentleman. We have a comment it is important that everyone the commission to i think something a security person looking at it it what if this happens if this happens you know. Well, i think this project is really debris know it were for 4 months i wish for 40 years using a great space and activating and allowing the communities members to use it is too important for nice venues their cost be prohibit active the fact for graduations and parties is a wonderful thing thank you very much for dead on arrival doing that. Thank you. And teaching people to do events planning in a complicated city is great too i think those hosts december 2016 to continue on you know depend on what they decide to do with that afterwards there is a 0 role that you as urban solution can play and the community can play in making that venue thrive so commission oh, i think supervisor president london breeds office here and take Public Comment.
