if we exhaust all efforts to find city-owned space, we are asking that rentals cost be made to the available for rebate just as when they are renting city-owned property. we are not asking for any new additional money. it would allow us to use money already allotted to the rebate program under different circumstances if necessary. without the ability to use this money in this manner we will most likely continue to lose potential productions and jobs and local spending san francisco. i hope that you will recommend to the full board that you will pass this amendment to the rebate. thank you for your time and if you have any questions i will be happy to answer them. >> supervisor cohen: colleagues he have any questions? seeing none let's open up to the public. >> my name is dan camp, a union location manager working in san francisco in the last 20 years. i want to talk directly to the impact that this makes directly to the city of the major series. i work not only on trauma but also on nash bridges; in the sixties since i worked on nash bridges the film office would give me a form to get to the

what brick and mortar is asking for is for the city to follow it's own rules. when i brought that up in my brief, the city doesn't even bother to respond to the rules of process that we had in our own hearing. the city engaged and did not bother to notify us correctly. they did not notice our premises of a hearing. they did not give a reasonable notice of hearing. they didn't tell us what we could oh are not say at the hearing. i think at this point we had no place to turn and asked for the appeals board to step interested and look through our case and ask for assistance and getting ourselves a valid hearing in addressing what the neighbors had to say and to say it time for to us sit down and figure out the sound problem but do this in a manner that makes sense according to the laws. we are asking for the city to follow the same rules that they would expect us to. >> thank you. >> we can hear from the entertainment commission oovment good evening board members, i'm candy blackstone, the director of the commission. executive director jocelyn is out of town. you h
