President Ordeñana asked for recusals. He said he would need to recuse himself from item 13 sub items 9, 10, 16, 21. He explained that these organizations all rent space from his employer, SF LGBT Center.
President Ordeñana said he understands there were questions in the community about a few of grant awards and a call out for discussion. He explained that these motions are typically discussed at the Community Investments Committee but because they were not scheduled to meet and staff were working to get these funds out as quickly as possible, these items were introduced at the November Executive Committee meeting. He asked Commission Collins to provide more context.
Commissioner Collins expressed appreciation to staff for their hard work and thanked Jeff Jones and Vinay Patel for their help in navigating this process. He said that it is important for members of the public and the arts community to look carefully at the decisions being made. He said that items 9 – 12 on the consent calendar were discussed at the November Executive Committee in order to not slow down the process to get these funds out to the communities in need. He explained that these items focused on Prop E funds and were designated to be re-granted. He said that the $1.7 million dollars of re-granted funds will go to small organizations and individual artists most severally impacted with a focus on BIPOC and LGBTQ communities. He described details relating to the Arts Hub grant Universal Basic Income, Re-Opening Safely grant and the Sankofa Initiative Professional Development and Wellness grant.
He continued to clarify that these re-granting programs will keep in alignment with the four priority funding areas of the 2019-2024 Cultural Services Allocation Plan. He said they also took into account additional community feedback and the Economic Recovery Task Force recommendations with special attention given to those in the community that are most financially vulnerable due to the impact of COVID.
He noted that these funds will go out into the community six months faster than other annual grants and clarified that these grantees would work quickly get the funds out into the community.
He also added that to ensure that these re-granted dollars are being handled with attention to our agency’s racial equity values and goals, he proposed convening a special meeting of the Community Investments Committee in January. He explained that this special meeting would give Commissioners, staff and grantees an opportunity to carefully review the grant agreements and to hold these intermediary organizations accountable to getting grant dollars out quickly in keeping with Prop E’s and our agency’s racial equity principles to support our local sector.
Commissioner Beltran thanked Commissioner Collins for the comprehensive explanation. She said she was excited for special January meeting to give an opportunity to provide accountability and give more information to the public.

Commissioner Stryker added appreciation for being flexible and getting funds out quickly.
Commissioner Walker, seconded by Commissioner Stryker moved to approve the consent calendar items, as presented (except sub items 9, 10, 16, 21).
Public Comment:
Vianey Patel thanked the commissioners for their thoughtful comments and thanked Commissioner Collins for his recommendation to hold a special meeting in January. He said he is concerned that most of the Prop E money awarded was given to large budget organizations. He said he is concerned about precedent set for the future of the cultural equity endowment since the spirit of cultural equity is to support small and mid sized organizations run by and imbedded in BIPOC communities. He said the perception is only large budget organizations can do the work and have access to these funds. He urged commissioners to have discussions about the process of the awards to understand and ensure that cultural equity is served by every resource given out by the commission. He added thinking about the selection process and the role of cultural equity in the evaluation criteria.
