That went down also. It seems like the big hit was at the minority groups. I think the numbers where we look at percentage of underrepresented groups receiving allocations that is the total money available that year oppose today the actual amount of monies are also going down over the years, so there are 2 different factors. The otherit doesnt reallythank you for the analysis. The general question i have is, even though whatever gets allocated to grants fl art, it isnt necessarily tie today the hotel tax. This leaves a soft relationship, but it is general funds and at the same time if the hotel tax goes into dpr againroom funds and went opfaum [inaudible] you would think arts group would get a little more support. What do you think the reason is . When f we have more general funds and the arts group get less money actually i think that would be a question for the mayors budget office. The way it works everything since there is a change in the code where these are general funds revenue
It is unique the way it works with the board and the commissions and the mayor. This is not an easy place. They need to understand the search environment the searcher needs to understand whoever they are recommending has to be someone who has some experience or familiarity that this is politically charged. So it was trying to make it a pc way of saying, you know, san francisco, that were special. Okay, commissioner lee. Just to give me an idea, i understand some of these firms are prequalified from out of state, possibly, but how many firms that we contact that were, like you said, prequalified, how many firms got this notice . There were 10 prequalified firms and all 10 got it. And the firms, the last firm that i used when we went through this in 20078 time frame is also one of the prequalified. And many of the firms have experience recent, very recent and ongoing meaning right now experience with the recruiting for positions high up. Because these are normally only used for positions
You cannot use with regard to other cases pending and against him. These are two cases that merged, dui charges, and gun charges against alden smith. Let me refresh your memory. In 012, police went to his house because there was a party out of control. Police found weapons purchased in arizona but not registered in california. The second set of charges happened in september hes with a suspected of driving under the influence after his pick up slammed into a tree in san jose. Alden smith entering a no contest plea today, in san jose. Again, dui, and gun charges against him. That means he will be sentenced on july 25th. But there will be no trial. Smith faces potential criminal charges for an incident happening an airport just recently. He was joking, going through security line about having a bomb. This is because he had received extra screening going through the airport. That is still pending. That has nothing to do with these charges pending against him. I think that the nfl could sti

I live downhill from the reservoir near galileo. Im a retired schoolteacher. I have 10 grand children. So i think i know something about the parks and kids and the benefit this would have for all. The area is bounded by van ness. Chinatown is one of the most densely Populated Areas in the country and it is as weve talked about, its severely under parked. Although technically the political district 2, the majority of residents would most likely use the park live in
Commissioner mar. This item came up about a month or so ago. We thought it was a good thing that this department become involved acknowledging all the work our staff do, but especially our staff who really do exemplary work. We wanted to start an employee of the month program, but actually its a little bit of a misnomer because we dont think we have the resources to pick an employee of the month. I think the original idea is that we will just start it kind of quarterly and with the caveat that the four people picked the first year, one person would be picked as the employee of the year at the end of the first year. And i think were still discussing the parameters but basically its open to all the employees in the department and we want to make sure that except, i believe, the Management Employees we want to make sure it rotates through the whole division so its not limited to any classification or any division. It covers all the employees in all different parts of the department. I thi
