2. Public Comment
   Joen Madonna of ArtSpan spoke about the survey.
    
   Ann Treboux spoke about the Street Artists Program, and the recent hearing on Manuel Loli’s license, and requested an investigation.
    
   Ada Chan of the Pilipino Cultural Heritage District spoke about the 5M development agreement, expressing her concerns about the project. She urged the Commission to demand improvements to the agreement and not simply accept what was presented to them.
    
   Vinay Patel, Executive Director of the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center, spoke about the 5M development agreement. While he recognized the historic benefits to the arts in the agreement, he was concerned about displacement and insufficient involvement of the Filipino community in decisionmaking. He urged movement on the Filipino Heritage District. He was also concerned about the Redlick building.
    
   Andrew Wood spoke against the 5M development, arguing that the developer has blatantly disregarded the community, and recalling the danger to the arts in the dot-com boom fifteen years ago. He asked the Commission to speak on behalf of the arts as well as the broader constituency.
    
   Truong Tran said that he was a displaced artist from the Redlick Building and was grateful for the support of the Commission. He said that artists were misrepresented and not consulted, and he talked abou the impact of displacement of artists as well as communities of color and working-class communities.
    
   Sharon Steuer said that she was an endangered Mission artist who helped solicit responses to the survey. She said that the arts are not just static pieces purchased from artists in other cities, but that performances and community make San Francisco vibrant. She advocated a long-term cultural plan.
    
    
   Commissioner Frankel entered the room at 1:30.
    
   Skot Kuiper of SPACE said he was eager to hear about the displacement survey and that there was a crisis in low-income housing not only for artists, but for educators and others. He said that he has advocated for the Filipino community, and appreciates what Forest City has done, but doesn’t like to see artists pitted against the community. He called the Cultural Center process a beacon, and advocated for arts and culture uses of City-owned properties.
    
   Marisa Vela, a displaced Redlick Building artist, said that cultural placemaking was trendy, but without involvement by artists, in the end, the area would convert to high-end and office space.
    
   Lorna Velasco of Bindlestiff said it was disconcerting that the cultural benefits of the 5M project were not going to organizations working for 25 years in the area. She said that Bindlestiff had been creating theater on Sixth Street since 1987, and that after being kicked out of their space, it took ten years to bounce back and return. She talked about the vibrant SOMA arts organization, said that arts and culture leaders needed to be at the table when decisions are made, and asked about the housing for people already in the neighborhood.
    
   Mike Roddy explained that he grew up in San Francisco and talked about going to Cal in the 1960s. He proposed a climate museum of 12,000 square feet south of Mission, and referred the Commission to his work online at greenframe.
    
   There was no further public comment.

4. Director’s Report
   Mr. DeCaigny began his report by saying that staff and the Commission take the public comments very seriously and will take them into account in future agendas.
    
   He invited the Commission and the public to the ribbon-cutting and rededication of the War Memorial Veterans Building at 401 Van Ness, at 11:30 on September 16, and to register for self-guided tours of the building that day, as well as the following Friday and Saturday. He thanked the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor for the capital investment that brings the Arts Commission offices and Galleries into the building.
    
   Mr. DeCaigny announced several staff changes, introducing City Hall Fellow Aman Falol, and bidding farewell to Public Art and Collections Registrar Anne Marie Purkey Levine and Community Investments Program Associate Weston Teruya, who will soon have a residency at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts; he thanked them for their years of service at the Arts Commission.
    
   Mr. DeCaigny announced the October 15 deadline for grant applications, and upcoming technical assistance workshops. He thanked the Mayor and the Board for the historic 50% increase in grant funding. He added that grant guidelines and applications were posted on the Arts Commission’s website.
    
   Finally, Mr. DeCaigny reported that he and Deputy Director Krell, along with other City staff representing the Mayor’s Office of Housing and the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure visited an artist housing project in Sacramento, to learn about the financing structure, the artist selection process and other elements, and how this model might inform the creation of affordable artist housing in San Francisco.
    
   There was no public comment.
    
5. Presentation by Entertainment Commission Executive Director
   San Francisco San Francisco Entertainment Commission Director Jocelyn Kane, with the assistance of Deputy Director Maggie Weiland, gave a brief overview of the Entertainment Commission, its history and activities, and how it relates to other City agencies. Ms. Kane discussed the tension between regulating and addressing bad actors and promoting a safe and vibrant entertainment culture in San Francisco. She discussed their efforts in creating new kinds of permits for limited live entertainment, tailored for smaller, quieter performances like poetry readings, as distinct from nightclub performances. She discussed the entertainment summits they have held, and efforts to work with the trade organizations and small business owners, as well as with the Police Department. She emphasized the importance of studies to document the economic impact of the entertainment sector. She discussed both nightlife and “daylife” activities such as festivals, and how inspectors from her office work on compliance with sound limits and other regulations. She discussed the Entertainment Commission’s work with Supervisor Breed on a nightlife compatibility ordinance to help entertainment venues to be good neighbors, and to address potential conflicts as early as possible in the development process. Finally, she discussed street performers, noting that they were somewhat similar to the street artists in the Arts Commission’s program, and she looked forward to discussing how the Entertainment Commission might learn from that program.
    
   Mr. DeCaigny thanked Ms. Kane and Ms. Weiland, and noted that the Arts Commission funds neighborhood festivals, which sometimes face permitting challenges; he looked forward to working with her on improving that process.
    
   The Commission also thanked Ms. Kane and Ms. Weiland, and they asked about economic impact, the good neighbor policy, whether the Entertainment Commission was addressing the displacement of musicians from San Francisco, zoning and other concerns. Commissioner Moore noted that the Planning Commission has asked for better disclosure from developers to forestall neighbors’ complaints.
    
   Public Comment:
   Ms. Treboux said that street artists and performers are completely different.
    
   Another speaker said that rehearsal space for musicians is scarce, and that nobody wants it near them.
    
   Another speaker, affiliated with CELLspace, said there were large areas of the city where one couldn’t get a permit, particularly for small and nonprofit arts organizations. He thought the limited live performance permit was a great step, though it was still inadequate for theater and smaller events. Finally, he said the permit process had been improved, and he called the Entertainment Commission “awesome.”
    
    
   There was no further public comment.
    
6. Individual Artists Space Need Analysis Report
   Mr. DeCaigny invited Commissioner Moore to discuss how the Planning Commission has addressed the need for space for artists and others. She suggested the possibility of a joint session. She described the displacement of workers and artists as a state of emergency, and described the actions taken by the Planning Commission. Referring to the Eastern Neighborhood Area Plan, she reported that they had rezoned a large area for Production/Distribution/Repair (“PDR”) activities, which includes a variety of arts and culture uses. She reported that Planning focuses on enforcement and recognizes the challenges of affordability; she cited the development of the Mission Action Plan and the engagement of artists and arts organizations.
    
   Mr. DeCaigny asked Communications Director Kate Patterson-Murphy and ACLS Fellow Dr. Anh Thang Dao-Shah to present the findings of the Arts Commission survey of artist space neeeds. They reviewed the impetus for the survey in the anecdotal evidence of artist displacement, and described the structure of the survey and its distribution. Dr. Dao-Shah reviewed the findings, discussing the respondents, their space needs and challenges and information about displacement from both workspaces and living spaces.
    
   Commissioner Moore left the meeting during this presentation.
    
   Finally, Ms. Patterson-Murphy thanked the artists present at this meeting who helped with the survey.
    
   Mr. DeCaigny thanked Dr. Dao-Shah and Ms. Patterson-Murphy. He pointed out that Creative Space Grants will be increased by 100%, and he discussed the average cost per square foot in regard to determining what is market rate and what is below market rate. He also noted that many of the artists who responded work in two-dimensional media, and that the agency also wanted to hear from performing artists. The Commission discussed the report and what resources were currently available or might be developed to address the availability and affordability of space.
    
   Public Comment:
   Ms. Steuer asked the Commission to advocate for artists.
    
   John Elberling of the TODCO Group distributed information, and predicted a very alarming mass exodus in the next few years, as people are displaced.
    
   Cheyenne Concepcion of TODCO discussed research they did on artist spaces in the South of Market (“SOMA”) area, noting that only a small portion of the arts space in use is owned outright by the artist or arts organization, and most of that is in the SOMArts Cultural Center. She said that large new projects have space for artists, and that development agreements were required to provide it. She added that in their survey, many said that a rent increase of $.025 or $.50 per square foot would push them out of their spaces.
    
   Mr. Kuiper sand that a great deal of space has been lost in San Francisco, and more will be lost by the end of the year. He described Root Division’s and ArtSpan’s new spaces in dormant buildings as successes, and said that living space was also critical; he referred the Commission to the example of the Tannery in Santa Cruz, and he thought the provision of PDR space on the first floor of a building was a great option.
    
   There was no further public comment.
