The intention is to design an arena that can really be collapsed to host shows and events that are that attract a wide range of audience and different size audiences. So, that means really reaching out to the full breadth of the entertainment and night life community. In addition were working very closely with sf travel to ensure that this venue is complementary to the convention the Convention Industry and the Tourism Industry and making sure that those types of uses are also fully addressed. And i believe we also had Alex Rosenthal who represents the night life Music Consortium here at budget and finance talking about her organizations ongoing support and commitment to working with the warriors as the proposal moves forward.

I took a break, went to the rest room and i overheard some conversation that was basically im just looking to get a piece of the pie. Thats fine. We all need to make a living.

And as you understand, we are the citys overall ada coordinator here to make sure that all of our city programs and services and facilities comply with americans with disabilities act. And part of our role is actually to perform an architectural access plan review of important City Projects as they come forward. We prefer to be involved with the City Projects at the earliest possible stage and understanding that and [speaker not understood] the office of economic and Work Force Development called a meeting that i was involved with about ten days ago in order to introduce me to the important project at an early stage.
