- Program Director Report
Ms. Nemzoff explained that Ms. Daniels used to handle the review of the cultural center MPPs along with all other tasks related to the centers, but this year, the review has transformed into a more traditional granting process under Ms. Nemzoff's management. She explained the MPP application and recommended approving the MPP for six centers; she granted AAACC an extension. The sub-grantees were not included in the motion because their funding is included in Somarts.
Commissioner Walker made the motion.
Motion to approve the proposed Bayview Opera House Ruth Williams Theater, Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, and South of Market Cultural Centers' 2004-2005 Management and Program Plans and grant allocation contingent upon receipt of all required documentation.
Bayview Opera House: $ 234,825
Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts $395,406
Somarts: $658,838
The motion passed unanimously.
Ms. Nemzoff explained some HTF history with the percentage allocation and said that the seven organizations are recognized because they represent a larger constituency. Pam Wu explained that the legislation passed with the intent for the City to own more than just four buildings in four neighborhoods. Ms. Nemzoff agreed that she would like to see more programs in the community.
With that Ms. Nemzoff introduced the Programs in the Community grant recommendations:
