- Approval of Minutes

RESOLUTION NO. 0107-19-001: Motion to approve December 3, 2018 Minutes.
- General Public Comment
Jungle Smith apologized for his tone at the last Arts Commission meeting he attended and promised to be more civil, but stood by his remarks. He said that he lives near the Castro station and he spoke against the proposed plan for Harvey Milk Plaza and referred to an online petition to “Save the Grove and Garden.” He said that the station does need some refreshing, and would like to see a green canopy and a clear elevator.
There was no further public comment.
- Director’s Report
Mr. DeCaigny announced several upcoming activities of the agency, including the Arts Education Resource Fair on January 30, the new Galleries shows Part and Parcel, and Fiber Structure, with an opening reception on January 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.
Mr. DeCaigny announced the extensive community engagement process which will influence how the funds allocated by Proposition E will be spent. He explained that there are several open houses in many locations, mapping activities, an online survey, and a town hall meeting on February 6, with flyers available on the Arts Commission’s website. He added that outreach is being conducted in Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish and Tagalog as well as English. 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.
The Commission clarified the fact that the Angelou sculpture was not required to be a bronze figurative bust, and that an artist could choose another way to speak to who she was and to her legacy.
There was no public comment.
- 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.
Mr. DeCaigny pointed out the name change of the Community Arts, Education and Grants Committee to the Community Investments Committee; its members will henceforth serve as the Street Artists Committee for disciplinary actions as required under the Police Code. 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 Ordeñana added that the Executive Committee had provided extensive review and feedback on the bylaws.
There was no public comment, and the motion was unanimously approved as follows.
RESOLUTION NO. 0107-19-002: Motion to adopt amended Arts Commission bylaws.
- Racial Equity Statement and Plan
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.
Mr. DeCaigny explained that the two-year plan would allow for coordination with the City's two-year budget process.
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.
Public Comment:
Javier Padilla congratulated the team that had assembled the plan, and encouraged its adoption by the Commission.
Ariana Flores of the Human Rights Commission spoke in support of the plan, and discussed her commission’s work with various City departments. She praised the Arts Commission as a leader, and is excited to work with the Arts Commission.
Commissioner Melania asked about the choice of the word “success.” 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.
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.
There was no further public comment, and the motion was unanimously approved as follows.
RESOLUTION NO. 0107-19-003: Motion for the San Francisco Arts Commission to adopt a racial equity statement and two-year plan.
