gave out grants in that amount that's why we're shooig away from those kinds of grants >> the last thing i have i don't know if this is something we can look at in the future it involves the city owned cultural cities that will be excluded from the $2 million so mr. city attorney i was hoping at the later date we can put the language that and include them being able to apply for those funds with the arts commission or not. because that's the process that it is now because those particular organizations one which is in my district and supervisor kim's district and supervisor cowen's and supervisor campos district those
5:31 am
city owned facilities yes there open the capital plan and fatally apart but the city keeps delaying and delaying and delaying to a point if those facilities close down we lose artists and access to arts space again, we're just not taking care of those buildings the way we should especially the latino cultural center and the other facilities i don't want to see them included from applying from either pool of money as a way to maintain their facilities so they continue to serve the arts community in the way they have. most of the time those are not well established organizations those are not people who are
5:32 am
using those facilities w that can afford to pay rent. this is where artists first get their break. i don't time to see them included so i want to see the changes necessary for them to apply for either pool like any organizations in the city. oh, and lastly i'll say again, i'm more comfortable before the funding is released that a plan will come back to the board to have a clear understanding of what that trial means and whether or not at that time, we can decide if that plan will be effective. i'm hoping when it happens the in addition information as far as the city owned cultural facilities that they don't necessarily have that limitation of not being able to apply for other arts commission funding
5:33 am
>> supervisor mar. >> thank you very much for kneeing and to the leadership of supervisor jane kim and david chiu for thinking about a strong ultimatetion program that's helping us to address the eviction crisis that's hitting residents and artists as supervisor campos said and community based orchestras and arts organizations. i think the work you're doing with the work group will be informative for a lot of groups i didn't want supervisor campos comment we're not letting the tech companies off the hook but to pay their fair share they're part of as well. i want to thank the budget analysis for the eye-opening
5:34 am
report they did that points to the sharing of resources at facilities and a lot of other resources that supervisor chiu is going to help the artists organizations to utilize their resources but i'm hoping we can share that and to talk about the displacement crisis that's increasing in our community in mine as well >> supervisor campos. >> thank you president chiu. first of all, i thank supervisor breed for adding the points will be the community arts center like in the mission and the mission cultural center their struggling with basic things in terms of the nodes of the building and, you know, unnecessary they just got a new
5:35 am
roof recently but it took time to get to that point i want to see them become a part of the process. i know that probably chair farrell of the budget committee may not be happy to hear this but once we begin the displacement of nonprofits i think that the number that we're talking about could very well grow especially, if you're looking at some of the other folks that are impacted, you know, in the context of the arts community artists themselves. and i would say that going back to the point it supervisor kim made i think that as we look at the twitter tax break we should look at the stock options tax break and understand the consequences of all the acts we
5:36 am
need to pay attention to the tweets and to do that. but i do think this is an opportunity to have a much larger conversation about whales happening out there and the decisions we made are creating some of the challenges so i will revise my comment to include the twitter tax break >> thank you, colleagues any additional discussion. with that, and we take a vote on the underlying measure as amended madam clerk, call the roll >> on item 11. >> supervisor breed. supervisor campos. supervisor chiu. supervisor cowen. supervisor farrell. supervisor kim. supervisor mar.

5:48 am
the many spectrums their gay or separate and blaerd and old and young we've not addressed the problems with the public housing such things as the accelerator working and the folks who live on the top floor many are elderly they can't get in and out of their apartments on a regular basis to make considers appointments and foods and see friends. if you were to step out of this chamber on occasion and holding hearings in the aid tomorrow's in those public housing facilities we'll have a better understanding of what folks are going through you'll make much
