8:05 am
us learner more and figure out what we can do i ask we do that you know in the next few months would be great i know you guys have a lot on our plate but i think that will help in the long run it will strengthen the people with certificates so that they are better prepared and ready to be able to hopefully get into one of the unit as they come on is market and is other workshop that i i would ask i've asked this before about you know and commissioner mondejar brought it up today, i know we discussed it that we have a great rendering that come in on those buildings with a lot of art and you know we've been pushing a lot for local people getting the opportunities to really, really you know be a
8:06 am
part of creation of those incredible buildings and incredible communities you know my dad was a construction worker he took us around friday enemies to show us the building he had a sense of pride with a 6th grade education it's no different for people that are artists you know we talked about maybe the possibility of doing a workshop where we invite local artist and organizations especially in the healthy we're so rich with art in this city you know have them come in and present what we do and have all our development partners who are buildings have them come in and taking into account what those artists over they may say i like our artist
8:07 am
our sculpture let's talk or i like this your style of murals we want to do a measure california can we talk we're only making the connections for the vendors as well as the local artist i think we provide value to the community by helping to make those connections and then is last thing i would like to add again we talked about having the meeting at the western edition i'd like to have us i know we've talked about that for a while and you know, i think one of the things we should do i know you probably thought about that staff is working hard on this stuff how can we san francisco is such an incredible place where everyone wants to be you look at the rent
8:08 am
and is cost of housing do - how do we work with the office of economic workforce development and i really you know the western edition had a history of the harlem of the west historically the music and is jazz and just the life that coyote of that area if there is something we can do to incentivize or help think outside the box on how to bring businesses to that area 13 hundred you you know she's trying her best to make that work i think when she come on board when i was a redevelopment commissioner we were very, very existed she was bring the taste to is western edition and i
8:09 am
think we owe it to her as well as the community around to really go out of our way to think of what we can do to again help this is a city that everyone wants to come to not any area if something is for rent or sale everyone wants it that's my guns but how can we think outside the box engage other whether their city partners or other partners to find businesses that can fill those spaces we're not running at the deficit in the garage people will want to go and those businesses are thriving and maybe because i'm a recent may be graduating grad let's look at the business options that's is last item. >> i agree we need is meeting
8:10 am
in the western edition soon we need to have the attorneys advise us on what's happening probably not at this meeting but have the attorneys advise us first and go to the meeting so that needs to be at the top of the program is the distress to see a vibrant area historically yeah. my dad played jazz on that street before deploy was born my older cousins remember it street we need to do weaver we can i'll echo that sentiment and i'd like is idea one of our speakers brought up sort of a report i might say audit maybe that's two strong of a word for the community benefits programs
8:11 am
i'd like to know all the community benefits program that this agency obviously the one that is done and complete but that's history but the ones in place in some fashion get a comprehensive report too much to retain in one city it would be interesting to see you'll see were the outcomes achieved are they being achieved we're alexander and adding and adding all those other projects and community benefits we're seeing those benefits come to fruition but from a community impact stand up social judicious imare we making a difference to be with interesting read yes. >> i want to write on what
8:12 am
commissioner said about is preferences of certificates because my understanding this was one of the projects that is mayor's office of housing was going to work on there are 65 hundred certificates issued out there and we don't know who they are there are seven hundred and 50 on file i'd like that workshop you're talking about maybe then accelerate and found spread the word is good work this commission this ociis is doing and so i support that because i think maybe mined there was supposed to come up with a report in the next meeting or in the next this second quarter is process of fund we made on that software they're working on to kind of found out where the web permanently we've been talking about is about a year almost a year if i'm not mistaken yes. i
8:13 am
think that would be great to coincide the workshop that commissioner bustos is proposing and hopefully that web portal is done so people can sign and also the outreach found how they quality and how to get into the promissory note program or list i did you know again was mentioned by sxhorlz it is in conjunction with the open spaces i've requested that before where are the contingency benefits program what are those spaces that are available to the public who is utilizing them where are they i know a couple of nonprofit organizations that received the benefits which was given by the
8:14 am
enter continental hotel developer were they able to take advantage of the benefits that were given to them or one of the well those two organizations were is beneficiaries of that program when the enter con and is bloomingdale facility was including but not limited to built i echo what the individual who raised this is again part of what commissioner moore's and commissioner bustos were saying where are those benefits community program is is great way to report on is good work by all the staff that you know there is a housing crisis but this is what also has done for the exultant by is vendors that partnered with our agency so,
