the police department and the hours and the types of acholic beverages sold it seems like reasonable conditions have been met. i'm concerned about large retail impact on corridors but going into the old sears building that's a nature fit so i'm supportive. >> thank you supervisor i want to thank everyone who came out. there's a great deal of deprives a that's given to the supervisors here and i'm supportive. i do want to note something 00 though with target i appreciate all the work they've done with the community but one thing i'd like to hear more about and to
12:45 pm
be honest it is quite surprisingly to me even though we had a meeting a few years back there was never any followup and donates the work that the target has done with the lgbt community they gave $150,000 in minnesota to this group and minnesota was very supportive and very anti, you know, gay candidate who, you know, talked about, you know, hurting gay people and doing all those horrible things we tried to connect those folks with the lgbt community so show how you
12:46 pm
can do right by this community who shops there myself includes. i never heard back. i think especially, if they're continuing to, you know, expand their presence in san francisco it's only appropriate they take the time to explain what is it they're doing with the lgbt community in the of the fact that contribution was clearly a slap in the face to that community. it seems like they're doing a lot of good things but i want to know more. i know that every member of the board who's supportive of the lgbt community wants to know more from target. a was there any action taken when we conducted connected you to those groups.
