The plate applicants were first time applicants to the Arts Commission and with the City Arts Grants Program it takes a while for first time applicants to learn the process. You dont have a teaching . We had a workshop. Two workshops. Part of the workshop did you have information about complaints . No. I think its important because we have that in the puc about a grant. People know where to file their appeal or protest. Thats not the case here. No, we certainly all of the plate applicants get a letter telling us when the plan is reviewing it and they could come. Its a learning experience. To my knowledge, the applicants know and its in the application that it goes from there to committee and from committee to full commission. But, no, we do not specifically spell out what happens if they dont get it. I think you should. Thank you. No. 2, i say that with all do resp ....
Good afternoon commissioners, my name is larry ware. Im the founder of the Poetry Program i started 35 years ago at the Bayview Library and started the African AmericanHistory Program 40 years ago. I was the last unsung hero at the program and honored laureate for my work and i was honored for the city and the mayor elected someone else. Now you know who i am.

So if an agency receives a complaint, that agency can ignore it or does it have to act upon it . They have a process by which they would ....
Bring you a map that showed you the location of all these communities. I didnt need a map. I just wanted to be aware of the process is. You should be receiving the complaints. So if i have a complaint or questions about how the process was run and clearly the ultimate decision, i would talk to you . Correct.

In some ways this is a really good time to get the process issued rolled out and solved so when the substantial funding comes forward that process is something we all understand and agree to. Yes, again, i just want to emphasize that the two 2 percent we have to give to the arts. And we are leveraging that and having that spent be spent into community. Commissioner . It sounds like the process was a good process. It was an open process and some variety of applicants that came forward and its an open process. Anyone can apply and then there is Due Diligence to make sure the money gets done and that can change when there is no monies available, it might be a Different Group that applies and emerge and they need to have 5013c status and they need to have the capacity to do the work.
