7:06 am
percent communitycy it is 6 hundred and 45 thousand plus dollars this is not to exceed and is reimbursable and the cost to have the services is one hundred percent reimbursable to the d b.a. that slide shows the budget broke down down by the consultant of 3 hundred and 95 thousand and cf s has a budget and ventura has a budget. as far as our progress to date in april and may have 2014 we bracketing brought the schematic designs for the kitchen and those building designs are in the development design stage we're trying to get the permit.
7:07 am
at the may 21st commission staff performed 7 to 10 artists have challenges moving into the studios with $11 plus per square foot the staff has a solution it's a condition of approval to further adjust the floor plans for the affordable ability and star has commented to try to raise fund for the artists. since then we've worked with the lenar the architecture design firm to have a main goal to have them foofbl and some of the concerns are mitigated with you some artists have affordability concerns. for those 5 artists the
7:08 am
difference between what they pay and their estimated rent adds up to full subsidy less than $19,000. so while we have no operating subsidy to assist with that star has committed to precise try to raise the funds to support of the artists. the fund star raises will help that will be for the solar panels to assist with the affordability of the building and i'm going to turn it over to star representative to talk about this >> good afternoon. my name is is marty i'm the president of the shipyard we call ourselves star. star does not have a fundraising history we're an advocate organization so we're embarking
7:09 am
on a new venture we've supported ourselves and get one contribution through the tidas foundation so we're on new ground here but our goal is to make sure none of the artists get left behind we have a board that supports this endeavor so the solar is the biggest monetary component. the solar is projected depends upon the system and use to save this is based on two quotes from solar installation companies both in the city and both in the district 10. the solar savings is projected between 18 and $28,000 a year. the way the solar saves will work there's a monitor on the system so we'll knows at the end of every cycle we wish to
7:10 am
identify the electricity that is generated i'm insured that it is easy to translate that into a conflict of interests savings we've not accounted the accounting we know how to assess the funds and get a vail on savings. so at this projection between 28 and $18,000 we feel the artist we've been able to identify that are going to need subsidy we feel we can help them all the details has not been accounted yet but just there are no public speakers on this item the solar didn't work we're working on a fundraising movement to try to get feed money for the fund so our annual presentation we
7:11 am
expect you to come to we're magnifying that event and hope to generate between 10 and $15,000 in funds we're geology to have extra seed money we feel that roadway as we know the issue to be we're going to be able to manage it we have some savings we've been able to stay within our operating budget every year so we have a savings in seizing every $20,000 if we need that before the solar money kicks in we feel like the money part is covered. the problem is those 5 artists have been identified based on the survey that ocii and star conducted at the beginning of the year and follow-up telephone
7:12 am
conversations fill they're signed the lease we don't know exactly who will say oh, guess what i can't afford it or i can. so we're trying to plan a larger margin of dollars in the event that there are unexpected you know situations that arises. we've done i think with the support of ocii we've done a commendable job in getting people to put in writing their intent but we have no way of requiring them to sign a biden document that's what they told us in the moment and a lot of people change their mind we're appreciative that the architect
7:13 am
has reconfigured we had over 1/3rd of the artists asking for smaller spaces about a third of the arts are fine able to afford the size that is comparable to their current space about a third of the artists wanted more rent the rent is amazing rent in san francisco for the artist space that's the lowest that anyone has heard about. it worked out more people wanted more space and lessee people wanted less space it worked within the configuration of the building we're within the 28 thousand feet of studio space we're there right now and again also something changes at the point people are presented with the requirement to sign a lease we believe that we will be able

7:26 am
for our operating budget and support other local programs so your goal is to raise an additional 5 to $10,000 this year to use that as seed money so it gave us a curb on before the precedes from the savings and the solar kick in. >> so you don't know how much you'll need to submit device the artist rent. >> we don't know for sure based on phone calls and surveys every effort to determine who niece subsidy we've identified 5 artists if star subsidies hundreds percent of what they're paying today it will costs $19,000 a year so our goal to make sure we have 19 thousand. >> i see thank you. >> sure. i had a quick question had you
