and jane blachly whose father has an oil painting. there are four or five oil paintings. her fearlt's painting is a good example of what's missing at coit tower. there is not a tag next to her father's painting saying who painted it. it's fallen off years ago. we want to pay attention to the grand jury's report recommendation which blame a dysfunctional dynamic between rec and park and the art commission that we hope the board will help fix. as to art funding -- get zero funding for the coit collection. not 1% of what coit towers brings in, and the proposal under the new concessionaire would bring in about 6800 a year under the new concession for coit tower meaning the entire value of the 27 pieces of art there is worth 680,000 in total. think about that. you think what's built at coit tower, what's painted at coit tower is worth just 680,000? i think it's more. after communication we urge the arts commission to reconsider engaging the community in a new forum. what's existed hasn't worked a advisory committee would be a way for the public to point out problems, help fix
