Nice work, mr. Williams. Its still 1,000. Thank you, doctor. You should hire mr. Williams as council next time. The next card i have is mr. Watson. Good afternoon. My name is watson, executive director of public glass. I got one of the grants, my organization got one of the grants in question. I just want to come and say that we from the bayview found out about it we had somebody from all organizations, i met people at the library and we sent a representative to the process. We are a very, we are a small organization, but we do a lot of work. There are about three or four of us on staff that have done i have done this kind of work in rhode island. I have received grants before. When we sat at the meeting, we all do great work and i dont think my organization deserves it anymore or less than anyone else. I left that meeting saying we need to get our grant together and do it in a way that its written and get everything in order and get it in. Thats grant writing. Its not creative writing
200 a day which they receive for their time. There is a policy that artist should be paid. I believe commissioners should be paid too. [ laughter ] we need a raise. Just to clarify, we have 5 panelist who if they so choose can accept 200. It was correct that it was 1,000 for all the panel. Nice work, mr. Williams. Its still 1,000. Thank you, doctor.

I see evaluating. This is not really everybodys fault, but as some of the people mentioned that its new era here in san francisco. We have no time for eras. Im glad im speaking about the role, the puc, its taking on a roll now. The out migration. You have mr. , i forget his name, thats working with him. Theo, hes doing a great job. Let me get back to the arts. The young lady that comesen here. The same process happened in the west edition with the Arts Commission. We got shambled and you can find it through the Redevelopment Agency with an audit and they put people in contract that werent in our community. Even on Sunshine Commission they came in with there, how can you put it, unsufficient evidence and they used the title and city and county. Let me just centeres this here. I think there is a new day in the community which im presenting as a community reform. You got reforming Everything Else except community reform. Now, my concept is that im not going present it now because somebody
Forest service. I dont know if that answered your question. Who gets the money . Us. Do we get the money for the removal . The contracts for the removal . We are trying to recover that through fema process and today will be able to talk about that as well. We might also be able, i dont know if we can get that on our insurance.

I think its important to be tracking that as well. I know there is legislation put forward to pass bye pass some of the federal laws about the water act and the salvage logging. I would urge the puc to tracking those
That we say in our community that you have to put worken and i have constantly put in work all my years and when we had Mendell Plaza presents, i always contribute to my community. I work with seniors and the youth and i get nothing. Im tired of people taking from me and using me as a network for people that come in the community. Its unfair. I have to get materials and costumes for the children and its just very unfair and they know what i do. Im wellknown in the community because im also an activist and i have taught over 5,000 and im getting a little tired. Its time for me to mentor teenagers. Its not just a performance, its a livelihood for us. What kind of unnerved me is one of the comments that was made that i lacked sophistication. Are you serious . Then they made reference to my son. My son was taken from me from hospitalized. It will be 38 years in november 7th. These people, i dont know who these people are, but its not right to attack people all around. We use performing art
