    Ā 
    There was no further public comment.
    Ā 
  4. Directorā€™s Report
    Mr. DeCaigny announced several upcoming activities of the agency, including the Arts Education Resource Fair on JanuaryĀ 30, the new Galleries shows Part and Parcel, and Fiber Structure, with an opening reception on JanuaryĀ 25, the extension of the call for artists to create a sculpture honoring Dr. Maya Angelou, the call for the prequalified pool of artists for new Public Art projects and the debut and reinstallation of artworks for the rededicated Moscone Center.

He added that the final plan will be presented to the Executive Committee in February and to the full Commission for its approval in March.

    Ā 
    There was no public comment.
    Ā 
  5. Amendment of Bylaws
    Mr. DeCaigny reviewed the amended bylaws, noting the changes from the earlier bylaws, and noted that the Executive Committee had reviewed them in detail. He thanked Commissioner Frankel for his advice, as well as Deputy City Attorney Lauren Curry, who was present to address any questions.
    Ā

Commissioner Collins noted that this step will help to improve the Street Artists program, and Mr. DeCaigny added that staff is working to improve customer service to the artists, and help artists advance their work. President OrdeƱana added that the Executive Committee had provided extensive review and feedback on the bylaws.
    Ā

    Mr. DeCaigny invited Senior Racial Equity and Policy Analyst Anh Thang Dao-Shah to discuss the plan. She presented the background, discussing the definition of racial equity and the need to "lead with race," and gave the context of how this work is going on in the public sector, in national arts organizations, and in other departments in the City and County of San Francisco. She described the Arts Commission's work with the Government Alliance on Race and Equity ("GARE") and the Center for Social Inclusion, and described the process of developing the statement and plan within the staff monthly working group, with input from the full staff.
    Ā 
    Mr. DeCaigny explained that the two-year plan would allow for coordination with the City's two-year budget process.
    Ā 
    The Commission discussed the plan, praising the efforts that had gone into it. They asked for clarification of the role and responsibilities of each Committee in implementing it.
    Ā 
    Public Comment:
    Ā 
    Javier Padilla congratulated the team that had assembled the plan, and encouraged its adoption by the Commission.
    Ā 
    Ariana Flores of the Human Rights Commission spoke in support of the plan, and discussed her commissionā€™s work with various City departments. She praised the Arts Commission as a leader, and is excited to work with the Arts Commission.
    Ā 
    Commissioner Melania asked about the choice of the word ā€œsuccess.ā€ Staff explained that the language had been carefully chosen and discussed, and that success did not refer only to professional or financial success, but was self-determined by the individual.
    Ā 
    Ā 
    Soko Made of the Department of the Environment encouraged the Commission to support the plan, and explained that she had been working closely with Dr. Dao-Shah.
