“I don't think there was a second on my nomination. Let's just vote on Francisco and let's see if it passes and then let's move on. I think that we've, you know, And I appreciate all your comments, Maria.”

“And so we all can voice our opinions, and so being chair is, it is a good time consumption, but it is also, and Francisco's done a formidable job keeping us on track, but at the end of the day, we all have, the same vote, and it all carries the same weight. So I think that that's important, and I'm here to work cooperatively with the group, and I made the nomination for Francisco, so, and I think there's a second, so I think, Mr. Chair, if you're okay with it, I think we should vote.”

“No, no, I was just going to say, I mean, I don't think that's our purview to say whether we can just say not to that we don't want to be involved in it or not. I mean, I think that that's why there's a city code and there's a process. I think that, you know, my opinion on all of this is that you should want to support what we as a board want to support. We're here to support you. And we're being antagonistic in this whole conversation because it seems like we, our goals are not aligned in the sense we were here, we thought this was gonna be the most important project for this board in terms…”

“I support your resolution. I don't support the thing you added because I think that that, you know... going further to dictate what division, what department, I mean, the city changes. I think that, you know, the public arts division is already codified, and so I think that that's what we need. Wherever they lie, now, unless you're telling me that because it was under the auspices that it fell under this division, they no longer had to report to us, then I would... My question is more of a, you know...”

“And that's where I was going. So I support what you're saying here. And if this was going to achieve what I think it's intended to achieve, I'm sad to feel that the interpretation that has been proffered in terms of option A or option B, this is not going to solve that.”

“I support it because I do think that the standard operating procedure is not spelled out, and so I think it's good to codify that somehow, but I think that ultimately, if If the interpretation is that a public project can directly acquire the 1.5% art and then come to us at the end, then that, in essence, is what we're battling. I think that That's not going to, this isn't going to solve that. And that's all I just want to say.”

“And I think that that's the legal opinion that you've requested. So I think that that needs to come back and we need to have clarity. Because if not, we're going to continue to have this conflict as we go forward. So let's once and for all put this to bed and...”

“And can you go back to the very beginning when you described this whole master plan agreement and the SAP? So is this contemplated in a special area plan that you would do a master plan agreement? Or is this something, explain how we got here because maybe I missed that at the beginning.”

“I mean, I haven't seen any designs either. So that's where I was going to go. What's in the call to artists? I mean, what's in the call to artists? What plans are in there that they are actually bidding on without a dollar number?”

“I think that's a good idea as well. And I think that you can come back with whatever you've already put out. At least you can bring that back and incorporate it as part of this. And you're saying we're not too far along.”

“I mean, I think it should come back holistically. Yeah, let's come back. I don't want us approving something independently, but I think that this whole master plan makes sense. I like that. I like that it's holistic like that, but I think that this should be incorporated. Now, if you told us there was a critical path, And that's why you had to do what you had to do in terms of doing this, even though I know we did discuss this at our last meeting.”
