Budget, were projected were projected to receive 3. 8 million. We given that we expect these revenues to be lower, we are conservative in our programming recommendations, only recommending to one fiscal year at this time. And giving First Priority to backfilling the projects that were funded in the prior cycle. So, that program of projects was shown on the prior slide. And also funding the latenight owl service on the 44 and 48 bus lines. Should there be funds left after backfilling any decline in revenues from the prior cycle, our second priority would be to direct any remaining funds to sfmtas Paratransit Program. So t next steps following the board action that we are recommending today would be to submit the priorities to m. T. C. And then return back to the board in the fall with an update on how revenues are looking from this actual program. They could be, you know, half of what are estimated at this point and [inaudible] the spring, around this Time Next Year to recommend options for the fiscal year 2122. And at that point in time well recommend funds for paratransit or to create [inaudible] program once again. And with that, i can take any questions and we also have the m. T. A. s para transit program. Operator now exiting. Available as well. Vo, there any questions for ms. Leforte or Lynette Williams at sfmtas Paratransit Program . See nothing names on the roster, are there any members of the public that would like to testify on this item number 20 . There are no members of the public. All right. And Public Comment is closed. Operator is now exiting. Is there a motion to approve the programming priorities for the aforementioned 3. 8 million approximately operator hillary is now joining. Mandelman . Is there a second . Chair peskin, we can see you. [inaudible]. Seconded by commissioner yee and on that motion made and seconded, a roll call, please. On item 20 [roll call] can you hear me now . Yes. Thank you. [continuing roll call] the item is approved. Thank you. Next item, please. Item 21, allocate 580,000 in propk sales tax funds and 383,776 in propaa vehicle rent separation fee funds with conditions for requests. This is an action item. Thank you. And before we go to ms. Leforte, as with the discussion that we have on item 19 at a high level, i had the same discussion with regard to this item 21 with staff so i think what supervisor safai and others brought up with regard to item 19 is something that you might want to address and recall some of the or im happy to recall some of the questions that i asked in our conversation when i was briefed on this item before you put it on the agenda. So with that, the floor is yours. All right. Let me pull up my brief presentation that im happy to address with additional comments. So well go through the presentation first and then address the comments, although in summary, the comments are the new lens that were looking at projects and funding requests that are pending and that were presenting to the board is to ask the agencies if these projects are still priorities in light of the Current Situation facing the trans operations and facing the capital programs at the different agencies as well as ensuring that there is staff available. And to perform the work and these are being done as essential work program items. This is for the design phase of the second phase of improvement. [announcement in background] or essential construction [inaudible]. Sorry. Could other participants mute their audio, please . Ok. As far as deeming this as an essential construction contract, this is not for construction, this is operator unknown participant is now exiting. This is for the design phase of improvements to position the Capital Projects to compete successfully for discretionary Grant Programs when design is finished and so this request is for 480,000 in sales tax funds and a project segments to be designed are circled in red on your screen and so the recommendations would be to produce a continuous and accessible and safe series of pedestrian pathways in this area that is known as the hairball. It will connect the community and various different parks and transit Regional Transit stops and different hospitals and Education Centers and food markets and so the scope of work includes design for five new concreteraised [inaudible] blocks and bicycle and pedestrian lanes, flashing beak beacons and accessibility improvements. The next request also from the m. T. A. , sfmta is for Bicycle Safety and education and outreach classes and this would find about 45 classes over the course of about 16 months. And the list of classes that are offered are shown on your screen. These classs are offered in english, spanish, chinese and filipino and each year a minimum of two classes are conducted in multiple languages and education and promotional outreach material are also translated into various different languages as well. The current funding that the sfmta has in place for contract with the Bicycle Coalition is right now the classes, several of the classes have been canceled. But they will be rescheduled onces the shelter in place is lifted. There is one class that has been offered online that does not involve the [inaudible] bike instruction. And several of the outreach and other events that have been canceled, i think that the plan would be to continue to do that outreach once the world resumes in some state of normalcy following the covid pandemic shelter in place. So what the impact is having is simply pushing up the schedule of the existing classes rather than resulting in any cost savings for this program. So instead of the contracts for this funding request starting this december would likely start more like in november or december for the next year of the classes. And this next request ms. Leforte, doesnt that ultimately result in a cost savings . I mean, if you delay something and youre pushing something for the next fiscal cycle, doesnt that i mean, by definition mean there is a cost savings . It extends the links of the project as opposed to if it were to end, if we were to say that the rescheduled classes would be reborn by the next phase of funding, then there would be savings. Right. By mean so far and im not taking on this particular contract, but this is just a way for us to view these things. In so far as this is ongoing service, and we Fund Services for periods of time, generally a fiscal year, and the service is not provided to the full extent in one fiscal year. Yes, it pushes it out. But it means that there is a cost savings in that particular fiscal year when the service is not provided. Right . Yes. Youred noing your head. Youre nodding your head. I see you nodding your head. Sorry. I cant see myself. [laughter] as commissioner safai said and we heard from commissioner fewer and others, this is not going going forward, it is not going to be business as usual. Well have like a lot of very hard decisions to make, so its better to make them sooner rather than later for whatever that is worth. But please proceed. And the board will see this next month as well. We have a bunch of requests from public works for their annual programs for curb repair and Tree Planting and equipment and other annual programs where, you know, its a similar situation. What we are seeing is staff at the agency is that sfmta and public works are requesting funds actually earlier than usual, before tend of the fiscal year in order to be able to set up the accounts and the job orders at the agency and funds are available when they do run out for this currently run out and they do start again for the new cycle that there is no gap in service. Theres something anecdotedly that weve been seeing. And the last request is for the safety improvements. And according to m. T. A. , they are still proceeding as if this according to the current schedule in the request materials. This is the second phase of work along this corridor and it has many Transit Service benefits as far as infrastructure for the signals that would be in [inaudible] taking priority to transit. With that, i can take any questions. Ok. Are there any members who have questions on item 21 . Yes, i do. Commissioner yee . Yeah. This is really a quick question. And it involves buying the smallest amount of money dealing with today. But in terms of the bike Safety Education outreach, how many people are they reaching out, the average sizes are classes. Im a little bit technically challenged with having multiple systems up. But in the allocation request materials are evaluation of past classes that have been offered and im just pulling this up on my screen now and so in your packet of materials, lets se see here. The numbers of classes and the numbers of attendees are actually shown in the materials so over the past number of years and they averaged attendees in 2019 over 27 classes and in 2018 it was about 400 over 26 classes. And that was for the adult bike train and then wheels for more of the novice training, there were nine events and there were 307 attendees in 2019. And in 2018, there were 780 attendees. And one thing i would like to say about the classs that have been canceled is that the m. T. A. Is following the Controllers Office guidelines on payment contractors, so interpreted by the city attorney. So sfbc is still being paid at a reduced rate for the classs that have been canceled because of shelter in place. So, that reduced rate is six per class and refund number of hours [inaudible] of the conducting of the class. Thank you. Does that satisfy your question, commissioner yee . Yeah. Certainly for the younger folks, it is like pretty good numbers. It sounds like for the adult classes, there are about 15 in each class. But if that is the norm, im wondering if that is with the [inaudible] better or not. By increasing nose numbers. Without resupporting it. Thank you, commissioner r. There any additional comments or questions from commissioners . Seeing none, is there any Public Comment on this item . Chair, theres no Public Comment. Ok. Then is there a motion to allocate the 580,000 in propk sales tax funds and 384,000 in propaa funds . Mandelman moves. Vice chair mandelman, seconded by [inaudible]. Seconded by walton. On that motion, a roll call, plea. On item 21 [roll call] the item has been approved. [typing] thank you, madame clerk. Colleagues, is there any introduction of new items . Seeing none yes oh. Go ahead. I have something. This is commissioner hani. Sorry. [inaudible] my camera on here. [typing] whoever is timing away, put your phone on mute. Colleagues, ive been working with sfmta and sfmca staff and i want to take a moment to make a formal request here. As many of you know, weve had to make necessary but painful cuts to our m. T. A. Service, our muni service and especially our latenight bart service which has had an impact on our essential workers. Ive heard from folks who work at Homeless Service providers for whom that latenight service is essential for them to get to and from work. Many of them live in the east bay and rely on bart in order to get into work. Obviously right now we need them more than ever. Were asking them to do more. Some of the providers have told me that up to 30 of their staff are liing in the east bay and rely on bart. Uber and lyft and companies y like that have, in some cases, provided free credit. I think it is critical that we have a Public Program in order to support our essential workers right now. Especially those who are providing Services Like at our hotels, where people who are homeless will be staying and people who are working at other Homeless Service providers or hospitals, etc. And they created a Taxi Voucher Program for essential workers that are impacted by the recent cuts. I dont know if staff is aware of this request, but i wanted to put it formally on record. I think this is essential for us to be able to continue Critical Services during this time and that there is adequate transportation in place to do that. Thank you, commissioner. We will have staff respond to that between now and april 28. Commissioner safai . Thank you. Thank you, commissioner haney. On a very similar vein, because of the massive reduction in barts excuse me, in sfmta service citywide, there are certain areas of the city, in my district in particular, lakeview that has been completely cut off from any service in the city. Theres a lot of seniors and a lot of lowincome families and a lot of individuals and we have been in conversations with the sfmta about the Taxi Voucher Program as well. If we could also make that a priority where there are individuals that are just essentially completely cut off from any form of Public Transportation. So id like the t. A. To work with the sfmta dhurg time of reduced service to focus on not just the [inaudible], but pockets of the city that have absolutely no Public Transportation access and youre talking about seniors and disabled individuals that cant get around. This is a Critical Service at this point. Thank you, mr. Chair. Thank you, commissioner safai and i know that our executive director will follow up on both of your requests under introduction of these items. Is there any general Public Comment for the s. F. County Transportation Authority . Yes, chair. We do have two people on the line. Operator thank you, madame clerk. First speaker, please. Operator you have two questions remaining. Welcome, caller. Your two minutes begins now. My name is Francisco Decosta and what i am seeing is that, as has been mentioned in general, some areas my name is Francisco Decosta. And what i wanted to state is, in general, some things have been mentioned about the pandemic and the areas where there are no services. But what i want to mention is that it is really despicable when you see on some of the lines that the buses are jam packed. And i think you supervisors have been i have at least tried to contact yall, but you all should do something about that. We cant [inaudible] innocent people in our muni buses jam packed when we have a pandemic. While the mayor and dr. Grant colfax and some others are talking about this, that and the other. Its the same as the navigation center. So, our board of supervisors that we have elected have to learn to represent us rather than, you know, just talking in generalities. This is a pandemic. And in a pandemic, every life is important. Every life has to be taken care of. So supervisors, dont be talking for the sake of talking. Represent the constituents of San Francisco. Thank you. Next eke spaoer, please. Speaker, please. Operator you have one question remaining. Welcome, caller. Your two minutes begins now. Caller thank you. Supervisors, thank you for the opportunity. Id like to bring to your attention that none of this mornings presentations are on the website and i would like to see all these presentations, including the any presentation for [inaudible] on the consent calendar to be posted as soon as possible. And i would like to remind you of government rule section 54957. 5, subsection b which can requires that all these presentations, if at all possible, should be posted on websites at least 72 hours before these items are heard by the board. Thank you very much. Thank you for that comment, mr. Lebrun and im hereby asking the staff of the sfcta to do that to the fullest of that you are ability. Your comment is very well taken. Are there any other members of the public for Public Comment for the sfcta meeting for today, april 14 . Chair, there are no more comments. Thank you, madame clerk. Thank you, colleagues. First its always the hardest and when they look back they really wont see you, but its the path that youre paving forward for the next one behind you that counts. Hi, my name is jajaida durden and im the acting superintendent for the bureau of forestry and i work for public works operations. And im over the landscaping, the shop and also the arborist crew. And some tree inspectors as well. I have been with the city and county of San Francisco for 17 years. And i was a cement mason, that was my first job. When i got here i thought that it was too easy. So i said one day ill be a supervisor. And when i run this place it will be ran different. And i i didnt think that it wod happen as fast as it did, but it did. And i came in 2002 and became a supervisor in 2006. And six months later i became the permanent supervisor over the shop. With all of those responsibilities and the staff youre also dealing with different attitudes and you have to take off one hat and put on another hat and put on another hat. And shes able shes displayed that she can carry the weight with all of these different hats and still maintain the respect of the director, the Deputy Director and all of the other people that she has to come in contact with. Shes a natural leader. I mean with her staff, her staff thinks highly of her. And the most important thing is when we have things that happen, a lot of emergencies, shes right by me and helps me out every time that i have asked. My inspiration is when i was a young adult was to become a fire woman. Well, i made some wrong decisions and i ended up being incarcerated, starting young and all the way up to an adult. When i was in jail they had a Little Program called Suppers Program and i supers program, and i met strong women in there and they introduced me to construction. I thought that the Fire Department would turn me down because i had a criminal history. So i looked into options of what kind of construction i could do. While i was in jail. And the program that i was in, they retrained us on living and how to make the right decisions and i chose construction. And cement mason didnt require a High School Diploma at that time so i figured i could do that. When i got out of jail they had a program in the philmore area and i went there. My first day out i signed up and four days later i started to work and i never looked back. I was an apprentice pouring concrete. And my first job was mount zion Emergency Hospital which is now ucsf. And every day that i drive by ucsf and i look at the old mount zion emergency, i have a sense of pride knowing that i had a part of building that place. Yeah, i did. I graduated as an apprentice and worked on a retrofit for city hall. I loved looking at that building and i take big pride in knowing that i was a part of that retrofit. My first for formen job was a 40 Story Building from the ground up. And its a predominantly male industry and most of the times people underestimate women. Im used to it though, its a challenge for me. As a female youre working with a lot of guys. So when they see a woman, first they dont think that the woman is in charge and to know that shes a person that is in charge with operations, i think that its great, because its different. Its not something i mean, not only a female but the only female of color. I was the first female finisher in the cement shop and i was the first crew supervisor, in the shop as a woman. When i became a two, the supervisors would not help me. In the middle, theyd call me a rookie, an apprentice and a female trying to get somewhere that she dont belong. Oh, it was terrible. It was terrible. I didnt have any support from the shop. The ones who said they supported me, they didnt, they talked about me behind my back. Sometimes i had some crying, a lot of crying behind doors, not in public. But i had a lot of mentors. My mentor i will call and would pick up the phone and just talk, talk, talk, please help me. What am a i going to do . Hang in there. It was frustrating and disheartening, it really was. But what they didnt understand is that because they didnt help me i had to learn it. And then probably about a year later, thats when i started to lay down the rules because i had studied them and i learned them and it made me a good supervisor and i started to run the ship the way that i wanted to. It was scary. But the more i saw women coming through the shop, i saw change coming. I knew that it was going to come, but i didnt know how long it would take. It was coming. In the beginning when i first came here and i was the first woman here as a finisher, to see the change as it progressed and for me to become a permanent assistant superintendent over the cement shop right now, thats my highlight. I can look down at my staff and see the diversity from the women to the different coaches in here and know that no one has to ever go through what i went through coming up. And i foster and help everyone instead of pushing them away. Ill talk to women and tell them they can make it and if they need any help, come talk to me. And they com knock on my door ad ask how i move up and how i get training. Im always encouraging to go to school and encourage them to take up some of the training with d. P. W. And i would tell them to hold strong and understand that things that we go through today that are tough makes you stronger for tomorrow. Although we dont like hearing it at the time that were going through all of this stuff, it helps you in the long run to become a better woman and a person shop and dine on the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of San Francisco by supporting local Services Within neighborhood. We help San Francisco remain unique, successful and vibrant. Where will you shop and dine in the 49 . San francisco owes the charm to the unique character of the neighborhood comer hall district. Each corridor has its own personality. Our neighborhoods are the engine of the city. You are putting money and support back to the community you live in and you are helping Small Businesses grow. It is more environmentally friendly. Shopping local is very important. I have had relationships with my local growers for 30 years. By shopping here and supporting us locally, you are also supporting the growers of the flowers, they are fresh and they have a price point that is not imported. It is really good for everybody. Shopping locally is crucial. Without that support, Small Business cant survive, and if we lose Small Business, that diversity goes away, and, you know, it would be a shame to see that become a thing of the past. It is important to dine and shop locally. It allows us to maintain traditions. It makes the neighborhood. I think San Francisco should shop local as much as they can. The retail marketplace is changes. We are trying to have people on the floor who can talk to you and help you with products you are interested in buying, and help you with exploration to try things you have never had before. The fish business, you think it is a piece of fish and fisherman. There are a lot of people working in the fish business, between wholesalers and fishermen and bait and tackle. At the retail end, we about a lot of people and it is good for everybody. Shopping and dining locally is so important to the community because it brings a tighter fabric to the community and allows the Business Owners to thrive in the community. We see more Small Businesses going away. We need to shop locally to keep the Small Business alive in San Francisco. Shop and dine in the 49 is a cool initiative. You can see the banners in the streets around town. It is great. Anything that can showcase and legitimize Small Businesses is a wonderful thing. My background is in engineering. I am a Civil Engineer by training. My career has really been around government service. When the opportunity came up to serve the city of San Francisco, that was just an opportunity i really needed to explore. [ ] [ ] i think it was in junior high and really started to do well in math but i faced some really interesting challenges. Many young ladies were not in math and i was the only one in some of these classes. It was tough, it was difficult to succeed when a teacher didnt have confidence in you, but i was determined and i realized that engineering really is what i was interested in. As i moved into college and took engineering, preengineering classes, once again i hit some of those same stereotypes that women are not in this field. That just challenged me more. Because i was enjoying it, i was determined to be successful. Now i took that drive that i have and a couple it with public service. Often we are the Unsung Heroes of technology in the city whether it is delivering Network Services internally, or for our Broadband Services to low income housing. Free wifi for all of the residents here so that folks have access to do job searches, housing searches, or anything else that anyone else could do in our great city. We are putting the plant in the ground to make all of the City Services available to our residents. It is difficult work, but it is also very exciting and rewarding our team is exceptional. They are very talented engineers and analysts who work to deliver the data and the services and the Technology Every day. I love working with linda because she is fun. You can tell her anything under the sun and she will listen and give you solutions or advice. She is very generous and thoughtful and remembers all the special days that you are celebrating. I have seen recent employee safety and cyber security. It is always a top priority. I am always feeling proud working with her. What is interesting about my work and my family is my experience is not unique, but it is different. I am a single parent. So having a career that is demanding and also having a child to raise has been a challenge. I think for parents that are working and trying to balance a career that takes a lot of time, we may have some interruptions. If there is an emergency or that sort of thing then you have to be able to still take care of your family and then also do your service to your job. That is probably my take away and a lot of lessons learned. A lot of parents have the concern of how to do the balance i like to think i did a good job for me, watching my son go through school and now enter the job market, and he is in the medical field and starting his career, he was always an intern. One of the things that we try to do here and one of my takeaways from raising him is how important internships are. And here in the department of technology, we pride ourselves on our interns. We have 20 to 25 each year. They do a terrific job contributing to our outside plant five or work or our Network Engineering or our finance team. This last time they took to programming our reception robot, pepper, and they added videos to it and all of these sort of things. It was fun to see their creativity and their innovation come out. Amazing. Intriguing. The way i unwind is with my photography and taking pictures around the city. When i drive around california, i enjoy taking a lot of landscapes. The weather here changes very often, so you get a beautiful sunset or you get a big bunch of clouds. Especially along the waterfront. It is spectacular. I just took some photos of big server and had a wonderful time, not only with the water photos, but also the rocks and the bushes and the landscapes. They are phenomenal. [ ] my advice to young ladies and women who would like to move into stem fields is to really look at why you are there. If you are if you are a problem solver, if you like to analyse information, if you like to discover new things, if you like to come up with alternatives and invent new practice, it is such a fabulous opportunity. Whether it is Computer Science or engineering or biology or medicine, oh, my goodness, there are so many opportunities. If you have that kind of mindset i have enjoyed working in San Francisco so much because of the diversity. The diversity of the people, of this city, of the values, of the talent that is here in the city. It is stimulating and motivating and inspiring and i cannot imagine working anywhere else but in san we have private and Public Gardens throughout the garden tour. All of the gardens are volunteers. The only requirement is youre willing to show your garden for a day. So we have gardens that vary from all stages of development and all gardens, family gardens, private gardens, some of them as small as postage stamps and others pretty expansive. Its a variety all of the world is represented in our gardens here in the portola. I have been coming to the portola garden tour for the past seven or eight years ever since i learned about it because it is the most important event of the neighborhood, and the reason it is so important is because it links this neighborhood back to its history. In the early 1800s the portola was farmland. The regions flowers were grown in this neighborhood. If you wanted flowers anywhere future bay area, you would come to this area to get them. In the past decade, the area has tried to reclaim its roots as the garden district. One of the ways it has done that is through the portola garden tour, where neighbors open their gardens open their gardens to people of San Francisco so they can share that history. When i started meeting with the neighbors and seeing their gardens, i came up with this idea that it would be a great idea to fundraise. We started doing this as a fundraiser. Since we established it, we awarded 23 scholarships and six work projects for the students. The Scholarship Programs that we have developed in association with the portola is just a winwinwin situation all around. The Scholarship Program is important because it helps people to be able to tin in their situation and afford to take classes. I was not sure how i would stay in San Francisco. It is so expensive here. I prayed so i would receive enough so i could stay in San Francisco and finish my school, which is fantastic, because i dont know where else i would have gone to finish. The scholarships make the difference between students being able to stay here in the city and take classes and having to go somewhere else. [ ] [ ] you come into someones home and its theyre private and personal space. Its all about them and really their garden and in the city and urban environment, the garden is the extension of their indoor environment, their Outdoor Living room. Why are you here at this garden core . Its amazing and i volunteer here every year. This is fantastic. Its a beautiful day. You walk around and look at gardens. You meet people that love gardens. Its fantastic. The portola garden tour is the last saturday in september every year. Mark your calendars every year. You can see us on the website [ ] i just dont know that you can find a neighborhood in the city where you can hear music stands and take a ride on the low rider down the street. It is an experience that you cant have anywhere else in San Francisco. [ ] [ ] district nine is a in the southeast portion of the city. We have four neighborhoods that i represent. St. Marys park has a completely unique architecture. Very distinct feel, and it is a very close to holly park which is another beautiful park in San Francisco. The Bernal Heights district is unique in that we have the hell which has one of the best views in all of San Francisco. There is a swinging hanging from a tree at the top. It is as if you are swinging over the entire city. There are two unique aspects. It is considered the fourth chinatown in San Francisco. Sixty of the residents are of chinese ancestry. The second unique, and fun aspect about this area is it is the garden district. There is a lot of urban agriculture and it was where the city grew the majority of the flowers. Not only for San Francisco but for the region. And of course, it is the location in mclaren park which is the citys second biggest park after golden gate. Many people dont know the neighborhood in the first place if they havent been there. We call it the best neighborhood nobody has ever heard our. Every neighborhood in district nine has a very special aspect. Where we are right now is the Mission District. The Mission District is a very special part of our city. You smell the tacos at the [speaking spanish] and they have the best latin pastries. They have these shortbread cookies with caramel in the middle. And then you walk further down and you have sunrise cafe. It is a place that you come for the incredible food, but also to learn about what is happening in the neighborhood and how you can help and support your community. Twentyfourth street is the birthplace of the movement. We have over 620 murals. It is the largest outdoor Public Gallery in the country and possibly the world. You can find so much Political Engagement park next to so much incredible art. Its another reason why we think this is a cultural district that we must preserve. [ ] it was formed in 2014. We had been an organization that had been around for over 20 years. We worked a lot in the neighborhood around life issues. Most recently, in 2012, there were issues around gentrification in the neighborhood. So the idea of forming the cultural district was to help preserve the history and the culture that is in this neighborhood for the future of families and generations. In the past decade, 8,000 latino residents in the Mission District have been displaced from their community. We all know that the rising cost of living in San Francisco has led to many people being displaced. Lower and middle income all over the city. Because it there is richness in this neighborhood that i also mentioned the fact it is flat and so accessible by trip Public Transportation, has, has made it very popular. Its a struggle for us right now, you know, when you get a lot of development coming to an area, a lot of new people coming to the area with different sets of values and different culture. There is a lot of struggle between the existing community and the newness coming in. There are some things that we do to try to slow it down so it doesnt completely erase the communities. We try to have developments that is more in tune with the community and more Equitable Development in the area. You need to meet with and gain the support and find out the needs of the neighborhoods. The people on the businesses that came before you. You need to dialogue and show respect. And then figure out how to bring in the new, without displacing the old. [ ] i hope we can reset a lot of the mission that we have lost in the last 20 years. So we will be bringing in a lot of folks into the neighborhoods pick when we do that, there is a demand or, you know, certain types of services that pertain more to the local community and workingclass. Back in the day, we looked at mission street, and now it does not look and feel anything like mission street. This is the last stand of the latino concentrated arts, culture and cuisine and people. We created a cultural district to do our best to conserve that feeling. That is what makes our city so cosmopolitan and diverse and makes us the envy of the world. We have these unique neighborhoods with so much cultural presence and learnings, that we want to preserve. [ ] [inaudible] to start the meeting. I think so. Right . This is a special meeting of the Small Business Commission Held on april 13 of 2020. The meeting is being called to order at 11 02 a. M. The Small Business commission thanks Media Services and sfgovtv for televising the meeting and helpinging to run the virtual meeting, which can be viewed on
