telegraph landing is 150 lombard. first, i'm here to express my support for the permit with the added conditions that are contained in the april 10th letter to the entertainment commission which i believe has been forwarded on to you for consideration. and i would urge you to deny the appeal. now, looking back in the details earlier this year in the press about the concert series, the scope, the number of concerts and so forth, there was rightfully created a number of concerns within the community. [speaker not understood] naturally, congestion, noise, thing like that that inconveniences and changes in their normal life. but i think to their great credit, the organizers have been willing to engage sincerely with neighborhood. there have been a number of meetings with the community. they've already been discussed. large meetings, small meetings, meetings at different housing areas as well. and in those meetings the organizers and live nation have been open. they have been -- they have been willing to share information.

that includes 101 lombard, 150 lombard, telegraph hill dwellers. >> okay. all right, thank you. yes. >> and some of the steering committee is here tonight. i'm sure they'd be happy to -- >> thank you. i just wanted to get an overview. thank you. >> we're ready to start with public comment. can i see a show of hands how many people herein tend to speak under public comment for this item? >> madam director, is [speaker not understood]? >> you can invite them up if they're not a party to this appeal. would you like to hear from them? >> we'll wait. >> okay. so, i'd like to ask that folks who are planning to speak, if you can, line up on that side of the room. that will help move things along. if you haven't already filled out a speaker card and you are willing to have us spell your name correctly in the minutes, i ask that you give one to mr. pacheco. i see only one person standing up over there. i believe there are more people who wanted to speak. whoever wants to go first can approach the microphone. >>> good evening, commissioners. i'm captain tom cleary with the san francisco p

i can assure you that 101 lombard homeowners association has not given that to anyone and certainly invasion of our neighborhood and i hope i can convey to this commission tonight that by granting this permit you have not complied with the provisions of the police code. i'm just going to read a little bit of it because i like to use that as a platform. "that a permit is not to be authorized when mitigation under the security plan submitted by live nation -- and i hope i can keep talking because i have good information. >> is that the warning? you have 30 seconds. >> the provision of the permit is not consistent with the rules for the entertainment commission to operate under and lastly i would like to say would you please commissioners come out from behind that dais, and go out and visit the site. >> thank you sir. i appreciate it. >> next person up is brian hornbeck. >> hello. we are the dreamers of dreams and we are the makers of music. those words were penned by ron dahl and spoken by gene wild der in charlie of the chocolate factor. i am brian hornbeck and i the president of the cofounde

i'm a resident of 101 lombard. this is one of several condo buildings located less than 500 feet from the outdoor stadium where the proposed concerns are to occur and i appreciate this opportunity to address the appeals board because we don't know what to do if you don't undertake this appeal in some way. i'm expressing to you the concern of many of the 600 residents in this closely located neighborhood who believe that it is highly inappropriate to allow outdoor concerts with associated loud noise and traffic congestion to occur so close to a significant residential area. this occurrence degrades our environment. reduces our property values, and is a disservice to law abiding and tax paying citizens of our wonderful city. if the appeals board member is the place to consider this, they would be most unhappy if they lived in our neighborhood. however, if the political pressure is so great that the appeals board cannot act, then they should know that our neighborhood is concerned that the stadium will become a perman

[ applause ] >> 49er jerseys fit perfectly with levi, the $1.2 billion stadium in santa clara will have the name "levi" stadium as part after $220 million deal. >> it wasn't just finding someone to put their name on the stadium but to find "the right fit." the largest single deal for naming rights in the nfl. that money is important because it will help pay off the stadium and keep our promise that there will be no public funds used. >> the deal joins two local icons: levi's is san francisco's oldest company that started manufacturing for the original 49ers in the gold rush. >> games are streamed around the world, the super bowl is seen around the world so naming the stadium and all the media value that comes with it makes great business sense. >> 49er fans seem to like the connection. >> it is

so, they'll go to 101 lombard, measure the decibels. they'll go to a different residence. they'll measure the decibels. one of the things we're doing with the [speaker not understood] organization is setting what the ambient decibel levels are. i am also not a sound acoustic ition and that's why we're hiring the best in san francisco over the first couple of shows to develop what is the baseline now, what is the baseline for a concert and is it within the reasonable limits. >> and do you have a written plan of where these people are going to be and regarding when they are checking decibels in the neighborhood? >>> there are a number of individuals in the neighborhood that have already volunteered for the residences to be used. so we're developing that plan with charles salter now. >> thank you. >>> thank you. >> one of the statements made early in the presentation by the proponents said that the direction of the stage prevents sound from going backwards. you continue to accept that comment? >>> live nation is purchasing a acoustic curtain. the details are in the sound plan

i am a resident of 101 lombard and i want to also -- i've been really upset about the fact that a "steering committee" is always being referred to used by live nation for their arguments. this steering committee did not representative me. it did not represent sam. it did not represent a whole lot of people, more people than the members. in fact, we're kind of questioning one of the person's last name is albert. and then, what is it, the municipal transportation, their last name is albert. it's just -- that steering committee concept is a farce and i get upset when the argument is used that that steering committee was the support of me -- spoke for me and many other residents of telegraph hill. >> thank you. any other public comment? okay, seeing none, then, commissioners, the matter is submitted. >> i actually have a question for mr. brian. is there anything in our charter that provides any guidance as to exercising our administrative decision making authority to take jurisdiction over this type of appeal? >> well, i think this is not deciding on appellate matter, if you will, and there are

also give you a look at the traffic on city streets heading to the golden gate bridge looking down on lombard where it's slow. now, it's because as allen just said only three lanes are open northbound on the golden gate bridge when there are usually four. so what was the problem to begin with? it was paving work done overnight and the asphalt unraveled due to the way it was set. it began to break up, sent pieces of rock everywhere during morning commute. earlier this afternoon, bridge officials partially shut down the freeway so a sweeper could clean it up. as of now, 1,000-foot section of the middle lane is near the north tower, remains closed until it can be repaired later tonight. >> but it was a roadway hazard. the unraveling asphalt was in chunks and, you know, it was flipping up and, you know, hitting windshields. it was a hazard. so we had to shut things down partially, get the cleaning equipment here. >> reporter: and let's check our traffic map. so again, you can see a little bit of slowing on northbound 101 heading towards the golden gate bridge. but again, this is the evening rush.

right as you make the right turn on lombard street, there is an accident there. traffic is backed up all the way up to -- onto the bridge. you can see that we normally -- we normally don't see any of that. but this morning it's there. looking at the toll plaza, it's been steady and slow just before 6:00 for a 25-minute delay. in the san mateo countyhills, 84 and 45, reported to be one suv and a passenger car there, this is a head-on collision reported. 84 at 35 in san mateo county. let's go to steve. >>> still cloudy, to mostly cloudy. a couple of minutes is breaks in there -- a couple of suns can breaks in there -- sunbreaks in there. much better conditions tonight. although it may be cooler there as the breeze picks up out of the northwest. the temperature will start off at 64. 50, 60s. everyone is held in check. there's a one-degree difference. everyone is pretty close on the temperatures. you can see that little mountain of high pressure beginning to build in. it will really fire up after tomorrow. 50s, 60s and 70s on the temperatures. it looks like they will

traffic rerouted along gary ballfield to va vannevv avenued lombard street. >>> on commercials you hear the phrase prices may vary. turns tout also applies to medical cost. according to the government if you have heart attack in danville arkansas, it will cost you about $3,300. the same procedure at san francisco general hospital will run you about $54,000. overall major hospitals in the bay area charge roughly twice the national average for each and every procedure. we have a link to the survey at abc7.com under 7 on your side. rather interesting. >>> all right, well, how do you hit a five mile an hour fastball. it is all in the brain apparently and scientists at uc berkeley say they have figured it out. >>> also ahead, my conversation [ female announcer ] safeway presents real big deals of the week. or how to keep from driving all over for the best deals. you don't need to run around. safeway gives you real big club card deals each week. surprise mom with gorgeous tulips. 10 stem bunches are just $5.99. starbucks coffee is $7.77. that's a price you can savor. and honey nut cheerios ar

this is looking down lombard where it was a little slower earlier but you can see a few brake lights out there. now, it is because only three lanes are open northbound on the golden gate bridge when there are typically four. so what has been the problem? it was paving work that was done overnight. the asphalt unraveled due to the way it was set. it began to break up and sent pieces of rock everywhere during the morning commute. earlier this afternoon, bridge officials partially shut down the freeway so that a sweeper crew could come in and clean up all of the mess. now, as of right now, 1,000- foot section of the middle lane near the north tower remains closed until it can be repaired later tonight. >> but it was a roadway hazard. the unraveling asphalt was flipping up and hitting windshields. it was a hazard. so we had to shut things down partially, get the cleaning equipment here. >> reporter: and again, if you are planning ongoing to the giants game tonight, it may be a good idea to take the ferry because the southbound traffic is still backing up. all lanes will reopen about 6 a.

probably asking: when can i turn on to the parkway from 19th avenue and head into san francisco towards lombard? not until the new viaduct is finished sometime in 2015. >> that pet cemetery is special. >> some of it has been there for almost 100 years. >> yeah. special. >> awesome. >>> a lot of history around here. it is a great town. and the weather today kind of coomber but okay. >> yeah. we got -- cooler, but okay. >> yeah. we got the june gloom start and decent may-like finish. i'll show you the highs in a second. we'll see the onshore flow decrease. if you are a fan of sunshine you will be happy with where we're head, san jose 70 degrees. you had sunshine with the cooling influence from the ocean. you can stay pretty chilly. san jose only 67. in the back drop here comes the next round of low cloud cover that will envelope the bay area tonight and help us to start off cloudy tomorrow. morgan hill the most sunshine 75 degrees. livermore 70. fremont 68. san jose 67. sonoma 67. the city down to 52 tonight. the cloud cover will push inland again to. here's why. we are left in no man's land. low

so traffic is beginning to stack up on to marina boulevard and lombard. once you get on the golden gate bridge, as you can see, it is picture-perfec towards marin county. wait time down to 15 minutes towards the pay gates at the bay bridge toll plaza. the metering lights have been on but we had a stall on the upper deck that kind of backed things up later in the morning commute. to our other live traffic cameras now westbound 237, pretty sluggish for the silicon valley ride out of milpitas to sunnyvale. but things are improving through the altamont pass and livermore. wayne: one more time! you've got the big deal of the day. who wants to make a deal? jonathan: a trip to fiji! - oh my god! amazing! jonathan: it's time for “let's make a deal.” now here's tv's big dealer wayne brady. wayne: hello, america, welcome to “let's make a deal.” i'm your host, wayne brady. let's get down to it. let's make a deal. who wants to make a deal? with the sombrero. yeah, come on, come on. come on, come on over here. - ooh, ooh, ooh. thank you, thank you! wayne: what

if overland could go under what is to stop the next bank on lombard street from going under? to have this wave of panic where suddenly assets that would be completely normally traded freely in normal times called discount bills nobody had trust that they would maintain their value and the flow of commerce shut down in the city of london so the bank of england stepped in and said our rule is to be the lender of last resort. we are going to stand here and any collateral that would be good in normal times we will take it and give you a short-term loan. we will keep the flow of money happening in this economy come hell or high water. walter bacher wrote a book about that and that establish some of the doctrine of what central bankers have been doing for 200 years since. you lend freely at a penalty rate and stand ready to make money available when it is otherwise not. it's not a seamless progress for the good when you look at this history. a lot of you probably know the stories of the 1920s and what happened in germany. this is the power central bankers used and they have sometim
