You know, 80 days away, literally and i think the community can live with 80 more days and within that time do exactly what you want done. The Entertainment Commission, a new permit can go filed for. The Entertainment Commission will have breathing room to do what youre saying and the kids will not be pen alized. Im for the lion dance and i think 80 more days to june 30th, thats okay, thats really okay in the spirit of the children and in the spirit of continuing the culture dynamics of china town. Thank you for letting me opine. Commissioner so i can reclaim. Lets follow the order, because i want to respond to what you said. Thank you, i have the same mind of what commissioner swig just expressed and i agree with the language concern that commissioner transvina expressed. My position is that, the path that its currently on the table is the only solution that addresses that has the potential to address the language concern, thats the only one. Because were not going to do that and were not going to do that before may 8th, even if we want to create a new process and bump out even further, do our own notice process that weve never done before and take that upon ourselves. But that that path is uncertain, its new, it, it cancels more performances. So the solution that weve cobbled together at least gives us an avenue and again, its entrusting the commission that theyll keep their word about fixing those language notice issues that are now in every ones radar. And you know, guess what . If we get to june 30th and there isnt a deal and if there isnt a cure of the notice issues with the robust public hearing with the ec, then it sounds like mr. Lau needs to go get another permit. And i would hope that in that permit application for something starting july 1, that by then, we would have those notice issues addressed before the ec with the new permit. So i, i also agree with that concern but im convinced thats the only path that gets us to cure that concern. I think actually, commissioner transvina is next, commissioner swigs. Thank you, i dont want to be painted as anti young person, particularly since some of the dancers are from my own high school, but i respect the other kids as well. We have were not denying the lion dancers to dance. Just on that block for a week or two weeks, the first week of may. Always, i you know, i i think think response what you said is that, if even if we were to continue this matter, it doesnt force anymore people to the table than the solution and i think this actually achieves your goal somewhat better in that it makes the whole process start over again for the permit application within the next 60 days, or sooner because they will have to start the applications pretty much immediately and to get a new permit by the end of june it has to be agendized with the Entertainment Commission, there is all of these things in place already and because its the, continuing it tonight would not bring all the rest of the merchants or the resident of the 700 block to the table and it would not guarantee it it might. The better way to get the people to the table or at least invite all the people is to restart this process again which is what is being accomplished by commissioner epplers. I completely agree what mr. President lopez said about the language barrier. And for me the Biggest Issue is the cots is not not in our ability to do it. But i think this also, im convinced the mr. Lau and the stakeholders will come and amend the scot permit. Thats all i wanted to say thank you. With that, why dont we call the question to vote. Okay, do you want me to read out the motion. Sure. So we have a motion from president lopez to grant the appeal and issue the permit not the condition that it be revised to require that entertainment and amplified sound will occur only on saturdays until june 30th on the 700 block of grant avenue from 10 00 am to 5 p. M. And further to require that any prerecorded sound be measured 25 to 50 feet from the event periphery and the sound should not exceed ambient. I think president lopez accepted my amendment to start at noon. Thank you, getting tired. Yes, i understand. Noon to 5. I think that covers it and ~ ms. Wyland, raising her hand. You need to choose 25 or 50 feet. I said 25. 25 feet, thank you. Okay, on that motion, commissioner transvina. No. Aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. So that motion carries 41 and the appeal and well send the written decision out tomorrow. Thank you. Before we advance, we are past 10 00 oclock. I would like to as a point of information do we have can we do one more . And then, so thisso well go ahead. Go ahead vice president. Im concerned that if we dont do it, were shooting ourselves on the foot with the next hearings which are really busy, were rescheduling these three other hearings for future meetings. But in may, there are four appeals all of which are related so thats really one item. I believe its two related. May 8th appeals are all appeals of notice of violations it would be easier to rescheduling four of them are related. Im sure the people would not be opposed because it prolongs the process. Thank you everybody for coming tonight. Sdmo. We want to check in with mr. Teague on that . Okay. Okay were contemplating the appeals. We need to check in with the parties, im sure they would not be opposed. Can you remind me which. Alameni and mcallister. Okay, combined those two cases are just five separate nov, i forgot different properties. I can talk to you after. Lets see with the current cases but these people have been waiting a long time are we going to hear another case. Thats what i would like, can everybody stay for one more . I can. I would rather not. Ill differ to commissioner swig. Because i see us getting out of here at the stroke of midnight and that is, thats why we did it in the first place not to start at 10 30 so were going on fumes and were trying to get the hell out of here because were tired and thats not fair to the you know, the hearing people. Commissioner eppler. Ill go either way, i can probably make it through, but i dont want the commission to be compromised in any way by tiredness. What i will do is recess the balance of the agenda to our may 8th meeting and until then, the parties for the remaining three items that are being recessed until may 8th, i would encourage you to reach out to our executive director about scheduling, if may 8th. Hear you. Were recessing the last three items on the agenda for this evening, given that were past 10 00 oclock and we wouldnt real istically be able to finish before midnight thats why we asked for interest and content to continuing to a different date but im going recess the meeting, the three items that were originally proposed for tonights agenda will be moved to may 8th, before may 8th, i will ask any of the affected parties with these three items to reach out to our executive director if may 8th does not work, otherwise, the items are all recessed until may 8ths meeting and with that, the meeting is adjourned.
