This is a very important program. A few years ago when my son left the nest i decided to stay here and grow San Francisco and, you know, keep everybody working here thats my goal. With the Rebate Program im able to tell folks around the world about this theyre interested because truly even though San Francisco is San Francisco having that extra entitlement makes a huge difference to each year e exceptionally all the people i work with to be gainfully employed and that speaks for myself too thank you. Next speaker, please. If you have are here to speak on item 3 i might have called our name wrong but go ahead and speak im jim im a former San Francisco commissioner and here to speak in favor of the rebate.

Announcements. Yes. Please silence all electronic devices. Items acted upon today will be on the supervisor agenda unless stated. Mr. Clerk call item number. The Film Rebate Program colleagues that is legislation that i introduced a little while ago. It continues to attract both film and production in the 76 San Francisco. The most recent legislation was to rent space that helped to get a series and its stemmed to have an estimated 12 million no our city. This includes the web series among eligible productions and its through june 30th, 2014, and authorize additional funds into the program. Again, were not going to fund those budget it will be next year but it will put the cap. Were seeing that the web series are 0 popular and we need to continue to make sure that is adopting to the film destroy to capture all the film in our city. In the about jobs and our after the community and continuing to promote the on screen productions pr its a streamline of web tv. And rising in popularity th
Money the city will make as well. So we like the extra work but we want more. I dont want to be a sieve actor with an extra job i want to be a thooifr actor and not wondering how to get to la to make a living in what i do thank you. Next speaker, please.
