11:11 am
this. >> thank you. next speaker, please good morning islam erica perez. i'm a actor in the bay area. we're very happy when they come and shoot a movie unfortunately, we only get background work because they don't want to pay all the taxes. yes. i support in but i also support my coworkers here janet mentioned why is there a cap. if we want them to come and spend their money on hotels and restaurants ail those businesses and they will - the more movies that are made here the more money the city will make as well. so we like the extra work but we

11:13 am
budget i realize there are a lot of obstacles so people shoot movies elsewhere. the tax incentive likewise small budget such as a ourselves to bring talent here and merger the talent here. it builds the community you the after the community and builds self-sustaining artists. i'm an after the at heart. i think that lowering the permits on a daily basis would be a huge difference. when going through this budget i think this sometimes, people pay an after the versus paying for a permit or paying for food that's what it's about

11:21 am
general services and it commends on june 11th. on page 13 of our report the airport obviously can't estimate the total amount of private donations for the capital improvement promotion. the amount of the funds endured will likely advisor in accordance with the airport capital improvement will have a spate account within the fund. and feinstein on page 1315 as indicated we ask you amend the ordinance on page 9 and 10 to change the airport frequency reporting from quarterly to
11:22 am
annual we think annual would be sufficient and quarterly is not needed and specify those reports of the sources and da donations received. we recommend you change the approval of resolution of any donations to be inconsistent with the provision that requires the board of supervisors approval to extend the grants as well as the recent prevention fund. and we recommend you approve this proposed ordinance as amended >> colleagues, any questions or comments? anybody wish to comment seeing none, public comment is closed. that were colleagues, we have some proposed all the time.

11:25 am
this project is flaw at this point. should this site be democratable and should the voters approve the bond the city must be in a position to secure site control immediately they were. this is how best a establish that led us to the all the time and that's a lease with the purchase option. another option would involve a cost but not the view so we choose this one. should the city decide to use this option after the g o bond election and after the evaluation is vetted and approved. it's interesting we've been clearing the way for the

11:29 am
housing that is permanent and their tlooif in the community. those are in line with our 5 year consolidated plan. i use this opportunity to give you an up to date to talk the funding levels. as you know we're on a continuing resolution with congress, however, the actual enemies that have been authorized going forward for neiman the president's budget request bill and the senate bill just to give an idea for our house file if a funding is all 3 versions are relatively flat although the house has a slight decrease the homeless programs would be flat across the
