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 respect. I appreciate it.

Anyway, i think this gentleman deserves considerations for one of these grants coming up. I have worked election polls and in 1957 and i have been part of the community. When i started the Poetry Programs, the African American History Program i funded that out of my own pocket without any help. The friends of the library have contributed a couple hundred dollars every year and the poet like the christmas song, Nat King Cole and debra mason and janet, they have been in pr
Vietor. There is a difference in the process in regards to Public Comment. City attorneys office. I think thats correct. The administrative code has requirements with respect to protesting contract procurement process. There are no City Ordinances mandating a specific protest opportunity for grant. It would be up to the granting department to provide inform for that. But certainly Public Comment would be due process for that to occur. Commissioner torres . Council, back to you, under the administrative code the grant producing agency would be the repository for a protest . The administrative code actually at this point does not specify any required citywide protocols for grant making. 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 award a grant and then they would themselves determine whether or not the complaint warranted redoing the grant award. The witness has testified or stated that there wer
