Speaker, colleagues, we have the mayors appointment on the Entertainment Commission welcomeblast ben bleiman did i say that right. Would you, please address the committee and speak on your qualifications and i thank you for the opportunity to come before the committee for Entertainment Commission commissioner, i feel like my experience as a Business Owner in San Francisco and my advocacy on behalf of the night life in San Francisco for the last 5 or 6 years gives me the ideal Qualification Agency a Business Owner i have owned 8 and 10 bars and restaurant in San Francisco and a busy Events Company that puts on fullscale prouksz with musical events through the experience i have developed intimate knowledge with working with the neighbors and the local community to make sure our night life business is done responsibly and successfully if i had to boil down my philosophical on San Francisco night life i would put it i stand for responsible educational and affordable night life for residents of San Francisco and visitors that means didnt mean that every night life establishment is correct for every single neighborhood whether it is a jazz club in the avenues or something a thumping night life in the south of market each area has its own flavor and needs to be take into account when making decisions around that. As on my advocacy side ive been the chairman of the called Culture Association that is the main trade organization that represents bars and restaurant and Music Festivals and music venues through the experience ive worked with supervisors across the aisle whether on the left to pass meaningful legislation in San Francisco and some of my main favorite scott wieners School Board Members have been i spearheaded a petition to support sxooepdz petition that gardened 4 hundred signatures and used as a main piece in her argument for passing that legislation and i also structural in helping to write and navigate the passage of 10 b a complicated subject that had kind of tortured the night life advocates for decades we were able to pass a meaningful reform are that working with supervisor campos and supervisor farrell together as well as the poa and the police chief so all the experiences ive had taught me how to advocate for responsible needle in the haystack in San Francisco and my experience as a Business Owner to successfully operate night life establishments in San Francisco. Again, thank you ben bleiman colleagues any questions for ben bleiman. Supervisor fewer. No questions. Okay seeing none, i will ask a question i know you talked about supervisor president london breeds legislation how has that impacted our industry sew its the first of its kind in the world a landmark not as a city but the world nightclubs and music venues have been in areas of low population density thats why they were there not to bother the neighbors, etc. With the hemorrhaging in San Francisco and the boom even if residents move on all of a sudden and saw the areas with major areas of development the issue at hand people will tour a condo next to an existing club and turned off on wednesday afternoon they buy the Million Dollars plus condo and on theyre first night they hear the music coming from next door business as usual inform a night life waiting to get in, etc. And having serious issues this legislation protected not an incredible amount but major venues in San Francisco to protect them from Developers Moving in and not informing the residents moving of the facility issues with the night life nearby and so how it did that it required the developers to inform residents ahead of time in writing of the appearance of a night life establishment and that went a huge way towards allowing the two important things residents and night life to coexist peacefully it is hard to understate figuratively and actually gray. I have one more question he know a lot of the work on the Entertainment Commission is about preserving existing night life and preserving venues but if you can speak a little bit about our thoughts about potentially expanding into areas of the city that modesty not have that economic make up that. It is important night life in San Francisco is more expensive to do business and anymore expensive for the customers on the customers does the one way we can help to mitigate that and the effect of rising expense of doing business filet mignon is a thing for the wealthy and not for everyone else that he cant afford a drink or ticket price, etc. This is to expand night time and not necessarily allow clubs but extend night life offering to neighborhoods that dont have them like the live music permit for jazz or bluegrass or other offering not to crazy but the diversification is the amount of initially there will be affordable options it is a main point by will hope to stress as a commissioner. As a part of light city representing a part of the city that is definitely underserved by night life and opportunities of such that is something that is important to me as a supervisor and member of the committee thank you for take into consideration colleagues any more questions and supervisor yee. Let me followup supervisor safais question so in reverse i guess whether this is new developed built in traditionally not night life areas you know their complaining when the night life was there already i guess wasnt ill concerned about it from youre thinking this you should expand into the other areas or people at home want a home that is quiet and the not put night life there. Yeah. And the people that run operate those things cant say well, what are they complaining about. There are two points night life a huge category and to me it means you know quiet jazz or acoustical music up to the premier nightclubs in the city i dont think that nightclubs should be in every neighborhood and not right for every street and community; right . It has to be done carefully and the other thing theres a fundamental difference between a place it existed peacefully and operated responsibly for years or decades and a new place that is moving on where people are already living peacefully this is a transmission between the two things and you need to take a case by case and from the local community for example, in supervisor district 11 will embrace new opportunity not looking at for new night Life Activities we that need to work with those communities. Thank you. Any other questions oh, supervisor fewer. Thank you. I have one question what are your thoughts on the entertainment business. Did you say rationale racially. This is bigger than the Entertainment Commission but i think that prioritizing diverse racially and socioeconomic and, etc. Is key and really helping smaller maybe groups that dont have access to incredible amounts of wealth as others do to navigate and on the night life places and working with each neighborhood specifically and if were in one neighborhood in chinatown theyll want a totally different offering of night life for the residents in chinatown than soma or north beach, etc. So i think that is treeing to support each community to bring more night life to as they see fit to theyre residents. I notice that actually, the businesses that are own are all businesses that actually have a liquor license; is that correct . Yes. And you serve ages over 21. They have the licenses that means technologically we can lie people under 21 in theyre not allowed to drink alcohol for the record but traditionally well let them in on off nights and off times but put a door person on to card everyone at a certain time when it gets busy. How long have you owned the entertainment center. My first bar was in 2008, in september we owned he 10 and bought and sold a few were down to 5 in San Francisco. Okay. I see concentrating in the mission. We specialize in neighborhoods bars and taverns and restaurants we try to serve the Immediate Community not our some kind of a designation people travel so weve been kind of opportunistic we owned places in union street and divisadero and policies and russian hill in the mission. Okay. Thank you. Colleagues any other questions for him seeing none, any members of the public wants to testify on this item seeing oh, state your name. My name is Audrey Joseph im the retiring commissioner for for the seat ben bleiman is going for and i was the last remaining founding commissioners of the San FranciscoEntertainment Commission and to me the person that replaces me has to have two distinct qualifications one in operations and procedures where you really know how a business should operate and operating safely and is anly and to know sound sound is a huge issue at the Entertainment Commission to know sound not that you cant do it but offer some restrictions that will help you have sound and yet not possibly disturb the neighbors like what you do with our base or highend in my research the ben bleiman his knowledge is knows how to handle staff and customers and keep the venues clean and up to code and a unique knowledge of sound those are important for me the other thing that is important is advocacy so advocacy for the industry as an industry rep that is your job and the Entertainment Commission is a 7 member body is includes neighborhood representatives Public Health urban planning the police and the industry and so it is important that he be able to advocate so for the industry he is the chairman of cpmc and Industry Organization and the founding mechanic of the bar alliance i think that he will be a great advocate for his industry thank you very much.
