"The subpoena follows a request from District 9 supervisor Jackie Fielder to the Government Audit and Oversight Committee. Podell has not confirmed that he will be present at the Feb. 19 meeting and to ensure his presence, Fielder asked for the subpoena. It is unclear what will happen if he ignores the subpoena. The city attorney's office declined to comment."
"The dispute goes back to September 2016 when Podell's lawyer, speaking at a hearing, committed $500,000 for a community art space within 681 Florida St, a 100-percent-affordable housing complex built on a parcel of land that Podell donated as part of the development deal. The art space is now occupied by Cultura y Arte Nativa de las Americas (CANA) and the work was completed in October of 2024."
District 9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder requested a subpoena for developer Nick Podell to compel his attendance at a Feb. 19 Government Audit and Oversight Committee hearing about an alleged unfulfilled $500,000 commitment from 2016. Podell allegedly pledged the funds to build out a 10,000-square-foot community art space within 681 Florida St, a 100-percent-affordable housing complex on land he donated. The art space is occupied by Cultura y Arte Nativa de las Americas (CANA), and work finished in October 2024. Records include a 2016 Board of Supervisors hearing and a follow-up letter naming Podell.
