when divca was enacted, we realized almost all of that operational funding was going away. the capital funding, fortunately, was still available, and actually is increasing. but the operational funding has gone away. it is true that the studio itself was funded in part by the capital. we are not talking about operational funds to keep the studio open. we are talking about a staff of nine people to keep it in operation. we did not have the funding to keep those people in place to operate the studio. in addition, we had a bad lease on a particular property, a very high lease. it had a 10% automatic increase with a five-year agreement. it increased 10% over five years. in my opinion and in the department's opinion, it was difficult to justify keeping that facility, given the fact that we had very little operational funding to keep the doors open. that is why we embarked on an rfi to try to come up with a different model and a different way of providing public access that focused on the capital funding and minimize the operational expenses. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. coll
