us insobriety medicine that is a specialty in and of itself. it was a thursday night, so we saw 11 patients between the ages of 22 and 32. they all would of gone the hospitals, most likely. we prevented those admissions, and six of them came by rail cars. five came from ambulances. this allowed the officers as well to have a five-minute turnaround. it just took five minutes to give us what we needed and we took it from there. we had the benefit, we're really pleased that we have a partnership. they have partnered with us to have heard people come out and

move our tents to wherever we need them had set up. it is these three residents that put that up in the morning and took it down the next day. i trained them so well, that if the earthquake happened next week, we would make a call over there, a live rabbit one of our trucks, but get up and put it all up for us. that is set. supervisor mirkarimi: i wanted to say congratulations. before we go, all of these reports are very heartening. coming up, i would like to believe that the new year's eve response and the st. patrick's day response has been a good

precursor for preparing for a very concentrated event that is not unfamiliar to any of us. ""mhíand let that be certainlya level of preparation. this weekend, with japan on our mind and japan town, i think the underscoring the theme is recovery. how encouraged the city family to come out and show full support. >> thank you very much. we will keep things moving here. we skipped over the tsunami alert >> i missed that one on my notes. we did have a tsunami warning that came out. we will be doing in after action

report on this. né of the event. i wanted to touch on a couple of the basics. just a little after midnight, we had the eoc spun up. from there, the primary objectives that we have work to keep the senior leadership informed and to get out the right public message and be consistent and keep the public message out there. the warnings that we get our genetic endowment for the entire west coast. they can be really kind of scary. they require a little bit of analysis. we realize that the amount of water we are looking at is probably not any higher than the high tide we just experienced. our course of action was to set up a buffer zone that was

essentially ocean beach and a great highway. and get on with our media partners, we are not evacuating into this is not something to panic over. they have a different story. for our purposes, we really felt like we had to get out there and keep people, and understand that there was really not a larger threats. with that, i think we accomplished those objectives. lee will be digging into those, so when the after-action report gets circulated, i would encourage people -- we will present it at another disaster council meeting. i think that is is for item four.

>> any other comments before we move on to the next item? who is presenting for recent disasters? hashemi, primarily. the recent disasters, this will be fairly quick. i would like to invite members of the disaster council to engage in discussion. these events are so relatively early. having had the opportunity to be in washington with a lot of people that were directly involved, i wanted to convey some of the things that i've picked up. beginning with the new zealand experience, it so happened that one of the assistant illustrators was actually in new zealand representing the secretary of, and security at a meeting that happened to be there when the earthquake struck. i have the opportunity to talk

to him a little bit. for the first time in a very long time, i am seeing seismic activity really register at the federal level. so often, they're focused on hurricanes and flooding. for now, seismic activity is really high on the radar. with that, there were lessons that he brought back that i thought were very interesting and insightful. it is not so much the number of directors scale that was the problem, it was the energy released in the shaking. this one was lower, but it caused far more damage. it is something i am sure that the department of building inspection is looking at. new zealand has good building codes and there are actively enforced. they still have a lot of damage to really new buildings.

the lessons that will come out of that will probably drive changes down the line in our own building code. there are a lot of things to look at. mother nature will throw us a curve ball. that event in new zealand, liquefaction is something that we talk about, but until you see pictures of it right after it happened, i would encourage people to look at pictures of new zealand, christchurch after the event. they brought back pictures of a car. this really brought it home. we talk about this all the time and it is absolutely, positively the truth. neighbors are the ones that

rescue neighbors. that is what happened in japan, that is what will happen here, are partners with the red cross and every other agency, we have to keep the focus on community resiliency. does anybody have any comments on christchurch new zealand? the japan van, very early, there will be a lot of lessons to be learned. we don't have the experts to really dissect it yet, i wanted to hone in on the experience in washington, the ringside seats in trying to get a public message out about this event. we were there 48 hours after the earthquake and a tsunami. mr. the really deal with the radiation aftermath. watching our partners in the federal government having offline conversations with them, they got hung up in the

bureaucracy of saying what needed to be said. they were begging for just a press release from the federal government that said it is going to be ok. it just goes to the fact that public messaging is another area where we have got to streamline and focus. and with that, any comments about japan? excellent. >> we are going to have diana and commande>> excellent. >> hello. i am commander aa. [unintelligible] -- commander dudley. we started planning the day after the last one.

we heard from the community and supervisor mirkarimi and many others. we heard all their concerns. we changed the makeup of the breakers. we will have a d.o.t. running on the 15th. in the northern part, the trail, where the finish is, we will put that celebration into golden gate park. it will be registered runners only. we will make sure it is a very fun event. we are pretty good plan in place. we are at crunch time now. several heat of you in your have representatives that will be at that meeting.

we ever really good plan going. we will have a great morning for the bay to breakers. >> thank you. >> pursuant to the previous reports, where you put 2800 inebriate id? >> [unintelligible] [laughter] we have learned over the years -- new year's eve, things happened. we had several large events where inebriant some are a problem at the front end and at the back end. it may be an ambulance call. they may put a lot of pressure on sfpuc. with that in mind, we talked about the sobering centers, if

you will. it is of force multiplier women use public health and fire ems, -- when we use public health and fire ems, when it would normally take two officers and up to four hours. for bay to breakers, we will have it set up similar to what we talked about seeing patrick's day. >> in short, mayor, we're going to have a much bigger tent. [laughter] >> i cannot believe it. rob? america's cup. i invite you all to san francisco in 2014. for next year, in august or

september -- we are well into the planning. we will of fire, ems, representatives in our monthly meeting. it is a huge endeavor. the united states coast guard will be front and center in emergency management. this year, the u.s. coast guard will open up over the summer a command center on yerba buena island. they will be the commander on the water, the waterways, search rescue, any kind of incident we have on the water. the police departments will be -- will be the public safety lead on the land. the office of emergency services in the counties of marin, san

mateo, we will use their resources. for the first time in the history of the america's cup, we are going to have a theater in a bay where we will have 300 degrees of viewing area on the land. not to mention the water traffic. so, we are going to rely heavily on our neighbors in those counties. it is a coalition of law enforcement agencies on the water, different then the intentions of society. >> [laughter] >> and we are well into our planning. we have partners from the drought outside resources to come in. we've set up a series of exercises. the law or three each years.

tabletop for joint training exercises. there will be an exercise this í4xwthváu)s& all be able to see and purchase. they areg7tw.)um all to preseo show us, we are right in our planning. i will hear any questions you may ask. >> i know we may want to make sure we have some exercises with oakland' because of shared water responsibilities. i look forward to those exercises with other cities in the bay. >> any other questions of commander doubly? -- dudley? thank you. are there announcements from disaster council members? >> yes. >> [unintelligible]

>> you alluded to an event tomorrow. there will be approximately 15,000 citizens taking place -- taking part. i appreciate all you do, and everyone who actively works with the neighborhood emergency response team members. it will be tomorrow between the hours of 8:00 and noon. i look forward to seeing people out there. i would also like to acknowledge the members of the department under the department of emergency management. like mayor lee said, i know that we were up their acknowledging the great work they do. they need to get a lot -- the people who wear uniforms did a lot more acknowledgement the people who do not wear uniforms. we also appreciate the people who work downstairs at the

department of emergency management. i was very impressed on the very early morning of march 11 for the tsunami warning how quickly and how well organized we were. there were a lot of challenges that morning. it is a credit to you. and also to the red cross. a shout out to herald broke -- harold brook. the fire in montgomery -- it got a lot of attention. last week, it was challenging two nights in a row. always professional, always organize. we are very grateful for that partnership. thank you some much. i invite everyone to join us early on monday to commemorate the anniversary of the earthquake and fire. >> thank you, chief white.

other announcements from council members? yes? >> [unintelligible] is the department aware of training the first week in april? there will be fema documentation and everything there will be needed to support it. i want to thank everyone for making themselves available for that, for the training on the turk street. still awful, up to your sites and operational staff will make sure you have access to your buildings and things like that, so that our cost recovery experts can deal with that. >> thank you very much. other announcements? yes? >> [unintelligible] of vaccination clinic on may 14? >> for what? a vaccination -- >> of

vaccination clinic. [unintelligible] may 14 they are having won at john mcconnell high school. >> other announcements? just a reminder. when we do in anniversary of one of our two quakes here, the personally prepared. it is an opportunity for you to go home, see whether you've of water stored, flashlights and batteries, really simple. just look on 72hours.org. i'm sure that everyone is more prepared than they think they are. just look through. it will make you feel better. is there any public comment? ok. hearing none, say this is

adjourned, unless, mr. mayor -- ok. thank you for coming. president olague: good evening. this is a special joint hearing between the san francisco planning commission and the treasure island authority board. before i take roll, if i can just ask everyone to turn off your cell phones, any pagers, any computers, anything that

may sound off during these proceedings, we would very much appreciate it. roll call for the planning commission. president christina olague. >> here. >> vice president ron miguel. >> here. >> antonini. >> here. >> borden? >> here. >> kathrin moore? >> here. >> and mr. sugaya. >> here. >> president claudine cheng. >> here. >> larry del carlo. >> present. >> john elberling. larry mazzolla. linda richardson and honorable jane kim is not seated tonight. thank you. commissioners, the first category on this joint agenda is public comment on agenda items where the public hearing is closed. and that's an opportunity for the public to speak prior to the certification or the commission's consideration of the certification of the final environmental impact report.

that is the only item on this calendar that has already been heard in a public hearing, and the public hearing has been closed. so for all of you who want to speak on the certification of the environmental document, there are a number of cards, and they're all mixed up. so if the joint chairs would allow, i would ask for those who want to speak to line up in the center aisle. president olague: that is the preferred way of dealing with it. thank you. and just so the public can be aware, this will be your only opportunity to address certification of the e.i.r. once the commission closes public comment in this category and they go into deliberation on the certification, the public hearing will be closed and your opportunity to speak will be lost.

madam president? president olague: we'll take public comment tt -- at this time. >> and how much time? president olague: two minutes. >> the president has decided that she will allow two minutes per speaker to address them on the certification of the e.i.r. president olague: the microphone doesn't seem to be -- >> i'll turn it on. try it now. >> hello. good evening. my name is judy west. i have been a member of the citizens advisory committee to the san francisco public utilities since 2004, attempting monthly briefings affecting the city's water and sewer system. i became alarmed about the treasure island project when i learned recently about the burden that's going to be placed on the p.u.c., which is not highlighted in your environmental review and yet, could seriously impact areas much larger than the subject

redevelopment area. and so i want -- before that you conclude that this project will not have a negative impact on the conditions of the mainland sewer system, i would like to see that you review the scope of the proposed citywide sewer master plan and the sewer and water rates that are going to be required to pay for this. unlike the redevelopment agency, the p.u.c. is an enterprise agency and must generate its own funds from water and sewer rates to fund their operations, as well as upgrades to the system, including $125 million sewer treatment plan that's proposed on treasure island. san francisco is decades behind in repair and replacement of the aging sewer system below the ground on the mainland due to voter-mandated freezes on water rates in the 1980's. the project sponsors are asking the city rate payers -- water rate payers to build an entirely new sewer plan for 8,000 new homes, when we don't have enough money to upgrade the system we have in the

bayview, which deals with 80% of the city's waste water for hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses. it's the actual cost of the -- if the actual cost were paid for by the developers or by infrastructure bonds or whatever and then repaid by stimulating the local economy, these huge investments by the p.u.c. might make sense. but there's already conflicts about the amount of affordable housing required or other public benefits, such that there's no guarantee that city, the developers or the p.u.c., which is what i'm concerned about, is going to be repaid for this investment. [chime] president olague: i just wanted to clarify that this is the only opportunity to speak to the e.i.r. you will have an opportunity to speak to the project at another time in the hearing. >> my name is dick millett. i'm a former president of the boosters neighborhood association. i'm speaking for myself. i just noticed in the little

handout here, the project description doesn't address parking. it does talk about 8,000 homes, 500 hotel rooms, 100,000 square feet of office space. i don't believe the ridge can handle it. i don't think the ferries can handle it that don't exist. i question are we going to charge a toll to help out the bridge, which keeps going up and up, or half a toll, because they'll be using half of the bridge? i live in a neighborhood where we're studying congested parking and it's going to cost me $3 or $6 to move around town. it cuts my ride in happen. are we going to do this with them? i think the plan is not well thought out completely, and i want to see that we have

guaranteed transportation. we don't have guaranteed transportation in san francisco . all of these projects that we're doing, where we're increasing the density, we don't guarantee that we're going to have the transportation. thank you very much. president olague: thank you. >> good evening. my name is paul and i'm a candidate for mayor of san francisco in november of 2011 and i speak on behalf of the citizens of the state of california and object to the whole proceedings where the e.i.r. is being accepted or certified for acceptance, when the property and the title of the treasure island belongs to the people of the state of california, not the u.s. navy. it was not the navy's to sell for $110 million and it's not private developers to develop. this is privatization of the public commons and i object to

it. the value of one piece of property at 110 embark darrow is $6 million without any development. that's lands value alone. if you extrapolate that to treasure island, the property is worth $20 billion, that's b as in billion, 100,000 million. $6,000 million dollars. we sold this or allegedly tried to sell it to lenar for $110 million. this is a rip-off. the ownership issue has not been settled. title has not cleared. the privatization of our commons is something that is extremely serious, especially when it's for private gain. this is something that absolutely has to stop. the land belongs to the people of california and i object to the consideration of the e.i.r. at this time on behalf of the people of california. thank you. president olague: thank you.

>> good evening, commissioners and title board members. my name is gail gilman, the executive director of the community housing president buell: and a provider of homeless housing on treasure island for the last 10 years. . . i'm here tonight to urge you to approve the e.i.r. and also to understand that my comments extend to the rest of the hearing on matters of approving the plan. this is a great opportunity for the city and county of san francisco to create a green transit-first community that will have over 400 units of housing for formerly homeless families and to give those families an opportunity to integrate into a safe, state-of-the-art community and break their cycle of homelessness and poverty. as we all know, many of our supported housing sites in san francisco are in disenfranchised and poor neighborhoods. this will be the first time that an emerging community will embrace individuals living in poverty and
