environmental goals, congestion goals, land use goals, equity goals are all important. and, therefore, before the city make policy, before it determines whether to give away the public right-of-way to any of us, it needs to understand whether the services are helping meet those goals. if they're not, did youant mean the services aren't good. they may meet some needs out there, but they may be consistent with all the policies that exist in the city. i did want to make a couple other comments just real briefly about what common goals are for car sharing. and i mentioned some of them before. you've heard about three models here today that i think are very important. the car to go and the one-way model. but based on the little bit of information we have, it's really meeting the needs of people who are going on short distance trips. i believe, and they can speak better than i can. but based on some information they reported in toronto, car to go is seeing trips of 15 to

30 minutes and a few miles. p to p folks are seeing -- most of them meet a key exchange. they're seeing longer trips. people are taking them for days at a time. >> okay, i need you to finish your idea, your thought. and then there's other car sharing options that, like city car shares, are basically meeting sort of the interim trips, the ones that sometimes are short distance, but generally in a 3 to 5 hour range and for shorter distances. >> could i ask you to elaborate on the benefits of your model, the city car share model? well, city car share believes car share is an extension thev transit. the beliefs of integration, technology is important as well. so that car sharing will reduce various models of car sharing, particularly our transit oriented model will reduce car ownership. and we have enough studies done to show our impact on the environment.

i can share some of those with you if you'd like. but also our reduction of congestion, reduction of need for parking. supervisor wiener has some excellent legislation that is going to come up once it's done that will help expand access to parking, which is very, very much needed that will also help, quite frankly, build less parking and reduce congestion in the city. >> thank you. >> next speaker. good afternoon, eduardo [speaker not understood]. i own a smartcar that i use to get around in eureka valley. it is a good service that enables individual car owners to share the car when they're not using it, making money in the process, about $200 last month renting my car to a

neighbor's friend, people living in the same block. get around provides the insurance and technology to make it very easy to share. and no ownership fees and cars that rent for as low as $3 an hour, 15 a day. the peer-to-peer model can operate in a variety of locations unlike fleet, traditional fleet-based model that are limited to the dense urban areas. so, you can find peer-to-peer cars, get around and operators. in the sunset, potrero hill, bayview and really all over the city. parking is a serious main point for peer-to-peer car sharing and get around in particular. both for owners and renters, providing owners with access to car share parking. on street and off-street is an opportunity to incentivize more car sharing. eich wise for renters, the ability to access floating

parking will incentivize car sharing over owning a car. * likewise so, again, last point, because peer-to-peer car sharing can easily expand beyond traditional car sharing areas, it is very important to support peer-to-peer car sharing to solve several of the city's mobility issues. >> thank you. thank you very much. next speaker. hi, my name is andrew goldman and i have a masters from mit in city planning and 13 years experience in shared vehicle space. so, there's 15 years of research showing that every car share vehicle and traditional service takes between 9 to 13 cars off the street. car to go has a new model that can increase the positive impacts and there need to be clear rules that favor all car share operators equally. so, first the public right of

ways for public good not just the highest bidder. car to go does not have evaluation behind it but it clearly has public good. the city needs to balance the interest of all users as you consider developing cost benefit criteria for on street uses right away. use of right away such as car to go should have clear targets and metrics. for few years demonstrating thea benefits. this can be contracted out to a third-party if necessary. if it does not have any expected positive benefits, it should be reevaluated. two, the city needs clear rules everyone can play by. different car share models can have different rules but there needs to be some underlying logic and consistency. the city should be made whole for any loss of parking revenue. for example in portland car to go parking costs estimate againing of each quarter and trued up [speaker not understood] in the preceding quarter. all operators should be required to make their monthly hours of public parking data publicly available to auditing purposes by location gps. and cars at fixed locations

should have certain utilization requirements 24/7 availability or [speaker not understood]. standard public hourly rates and all operators should be given the option of parking advantages. in the definition of what a car share operator should be should not preclude innovative new models of car sharing. three, it's immaterial whether the company is for profit or nonprofit if it is delivering [speaker not understood]. and the taxicab status not administrative rule. [speaker not understood] regional tax base [inaudible]. >> okay, thank you very much. did you want to finish your last sentence? i'm not sure we've actually figured out the models for those areas you're talking about. i think there are some interesting ideas here that could work, but there may actually need to be a new model designed for the neighborhood you're talking about for one.

and i think that there are different models that are going to come out in the next few years as well. and i think that we need to be focused on meeting -- figuring out what the social and environmental goals are and developing clear rules that work across the board for all these different models and don't support one model over another along as those models are supporting different niche in terms of people's needs in the city. >> thank you very much. >> mr. goldman, i'd be interested if there is research or any recommendation that you have, i'll give you my card. absolutely. >> next speaker, please. good afternoon, supervisors. my name is patrick gibson. i'm a five-year resident here in san francisco. when i first moved here only a couple months after i got here i was accuweatherly able to sell my car and get rid itv because of the transportation options available here in the city particularly because of the car sharing program. * actually so, i think having a really

good mix of transportation options in the city is really, really key to having a good city. and i think that the renter car share programs are awesome, but different from the one way trip car sharing program. i was recently in portland and got to use car to go for the first time it was a great experience. partially because of the way the billing works. it's done by mile a minute as opposed to others like zip car or city car share where we do it by the hour or by the day. instead of being a lot more economical, i think it's something like $7 in portland having to use car to go three times. overall, about the economical mix of transportation offer, it's really good. just having things like private shuttles or car sharing programs or muni and biking, you know, help. [speaker not understood]. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other speakers

today? good afternoon, land use. oh, i'm on the 20 tv dance party so be sure to watch the car pool showdown, car pool showdown on [speaker not understood] tv 20, san francisco. sundays at 9:00. ♪ good luck with your city car share program with you ♪ whether you want to do is all right by car share me ♪ 'cause you make me feel car share brand-new ♪ i want to drive -- i want to drive and share my car with you ♪ why do cities break up with their car share program and they really reap and makeup ♪

opportunity to be here this afternoon discussing these important issues. our sf director and other operations folks are all out on the road right now, so, i'm here to answer any questions that you might have on behalf of zip car. as the largest car sharing company in the world, and certainly the largest in the san francisco bay area with over a thousand cars, zip car is very proud to serve the residents of san francisco. we are really excited about the opportunity to participate in the on-street program and we really look forward to more information from the city about the on-street program and opening it up to other certified car-sharing companies in san francisco. we heard you loud and clear about increasing access to car sharing in the southeastern corner of the city and we currently have 29 vehicles across [speaker not understood] 10 with two car sharing pods in

the bayview neighborhood. and, supervisor cohen, we were actually out in your district this weekend sponsoring the visitacion valley festival and we're also proud supporter of the bayview library and we'll be hopefully part of the opening in february. we're always looking at strategies to keep engagement in the city and we welcome the chance to increase our dialogue with your office and other city officials and talk about how we're doing. thanks so much. >> great, thank you. are there any other folks that would like to contribute to public comment? okay. seeing none, i think public comment is closed. excuse me. i'd just like to offer a couple of concluding remarks. i just want to say thank you to the different car-sharing organizations for coming to the table to participate in the hearing. also want to give a special thank you to our city staff.

thank you very much for being here and your thoughtful leadership on the issue. i think it's clear that if we're going to continue to go forward and be successful, we need to -- successful in expanding our car-sharing program, we come to more of the outlying neighborhoods and continue to do a better job in working together. i'm glad zip car was at the table. and sometimes [speaker not understood] you're the largest. i'm glad you identified yourself. i will be finding you. i'd also like to thank sfmta -- or welcome you to come back to share with us some more specific details, evaluations of what you believe some of the benefits and challenges would be if we were to actually implement a one-way car sharing program. specifically would like to hear directly from some of the departments from other cities that have implemented these programs. additionally, i would like to work with you and some of the

other large property owners in my district to discuss additional on-street parking space. what comes to mind is 1500 3rd street. mr. chair, i'd like to call this matter to the call of the chair. >> sure, so, thank you to supervisor cohen and everyone. so, can we continue this item to the call of the chair without objection? thank you. is there any other business before us? >> there is no further business. >> thank you, everyone. meeting adjourned. [adjourned] >> good afternoon. this is our

disaster council meeting of october 26. thank you all for coming. welcome to our emergency operations center. as you know we generally meet at city hall but today is a very special day that you will learn about as we unfold our agenda and thank you again for coming. i'm going to turn the table over to mayor lee who is going to give some opening remarks. >> thank you. good afternoon everyone and welcome to our turk street emergency operations center. first of all i want to thank everybody. anybody wearing orange gets a special treat in my eyes today. anyway we're still celebrating and i never knew that wearing orange and the giants and sports will be so closely connected to what we do in emergency management but it is and it is for good reason because our city's success is really dependent upon inviting thousands more people here to enjoy our resources

here in the city, to tax us a little bit on it, but this is what we do as a great international city. all of you have a very distinct role in all of this and it's my pleasure to begin telling you how proud i am and the months of september and particularly october have all been full of great events, and numerous events, and sometimes on schedules that while we had mentally took note they would be on the similar weekends, we were of course needing to really communicate with each other, and make sure we did all the things in the background that no one ever sees and talks to each other to make sure things happen smoothly, and i want to give big kudos to ed risin and all the others in transportation and advising people to take public transportation and emphasize that in all of our major

international and worldwide and world seize of events that happened in the city. >> >> whether it's america's cup or fleet week or some incredible music on the bluegrass side of the city as well as just neighborhood events that we continue to invite we shined very well because we did do the right emphasis and we encouraged all of the public safety departments to work well ahead of this, and i want to thank them for constantly keeping me and many of you on the sf alert program and texting us and making sure we were assured that the critical departments were working together just in case and it's always about just in case. right herald? the red cross knows this more than anyone and it's about being prepared and again i want to give great kudos to all the public safety divisions of the city from the police and fire

to the paramedics working behind the scenes and people out on the streets from dwp and to building inspection and you have to inspect some of the structures that go up whether it's putting on a bmx bike or skate board and allowing a hill of dirt to become controversy in front of city hall. i didn't know that. to our public works area that make sure that we are doing everything right on the streets and accounting for both pedestrian and the various traffic modes that we have. it's all being under the bright umbrella of dm and that's why we are here to today to make sure people continue this as the world series hasn't ended yet but let's say we are doing other plans as well that will

complement what i hope is the wonderful conclusion of these games and speaking of that i know the world series will be talked about in more detail and it's in front of us. we have a viewing opportunity at civic center for potentially i think this sunday and hopefully people who want to and would like to share in the enthusiasm of our team will come down to civic center and basicked around in orange as the twilight occurs and the viewing of the game happens. otherwise i think everyone going to be at their favorite watering holes and dinner places when this all happens. obviously the police are working very hard as well and not only focused on the series but they have to be focused on certain parts of our communities that oftentimes

flare up and i commend them and the district that was part of the shootings and curtail that pattern and follow up with the agencies and the community base agencies and the youth and violence prevention agencies that deanna is heading up in our office and paul and the others working hard at doing this, but again we ask for everybody's help. if you really are concerned or see anything that we need to get done please let us know possible public and private side. i also want to complement our private sector. i was there at the building operations, owners, manager's association just yesterday and when we called out for san francisco orange pride week gosh we got a lot of volunteers and that enthese yusm has helped

and even larry baer said "i can't believe the number of buildings and the opera hall and the ferry building and the private buildings and coit tower and voluntarily celebrated with us, so that is incredible unity in the city. moving to another topic because we will cover these later i wanted to make sure i mentioned that within these last few months through the cooperation of our city administrator naomi kelly we have appointed a manager of the caps program, and of course that is the community action plan for seismic safety. it is a plan we wanted to make sure that was lead by someone who can immediately get on the ground and figure out all of the things that we need to do to make sure the soft story buildings which are the most important focus that we have to have for the next seismic event and starts

with that planning with all of us, so i wanted to make sure to introduce and congratulate patrick otiline who has come aboard to take care of this incredible responsibility. patrick, thank you very much for being here today. [applause] i will note that currently the caps program is lodged under city mmptdor's office and a conversation i had when i was city administrator and we wanted to put it at a place, but it is there for now, but with patrick's help we will make sure that program flourishes at the right place and with all the different resources that we have to have along with my commitment we will have appropriate legislation in due time when we are ready when placed out before the voters what we require but we will do that in

collaboration and not talking out because it is expensive and we know lives are at stake and we have to do it the right way and have a program that will work for everybody. now, i also want to say to you that there has been a person certainly in my own career as a public servant that has been impactful. i met rear admiral john banoff in 89 after the earthquake. he was still with the navy. helped us tremendously with a aircraft carrier and the work in recovery, and in 1992 mayor jordan sought to seek his leadership and have him head up what is today our dem but at that time it was the office of emergency services so for five years i got to work with

admiral bit off and lead the effort at oes but at the time that we really required some strong leadership because it was shortly after the 101 california shootings that we realized very clearly different agencies within the city had to speak more deliberately with each other, had to have systems and communications and culture built around much more collaboration, particularly with communication. well, that spawned this particular building, and its housing of not only the emergency management, but its physical location of our 911 emergency dispatch system which is right upstairs, and that was started on and under the leadership of admiral bit dlf off. it was concluded very well. he then went on to what i say was parallel to me because

i thought i was having the best job of my life of purchaser and we all got a different call and he went to the school district and we had fun with the most difficult assignments we could get, and if you ever work with the school district, and i know the school district is here it's a hard job, but it's one that he focused on with respect to their assets, their property, their role in emergency management and has faithfully well represented them for all these years and i think it was later, earlier last year you sought that big "r" admiral to retire and i know you're here with your wife maureen. thank you very much for being here. i would lieg to commend the admiral for all

your years, for the critical years and being a friend to us because you have always been very approachable. for those that work in civic life for years appreciate the people that have a complete open door, don't wall themselves off because of their expertise and know that we all need to be educateed in the different roles and you have been doing that and you have been a friend to me when i was learning to expand our roles and whether it was dpw or the human rights commission you have been a great friend to the city, so with they would like you to come forward and receive due recognition with a special proclamation and as you come forward and due to his wonderful history here not only will we present

this proclamation in our appreciation but we would like to announce in concert with our dm staff and crew and all of you here we are dedicating the naming of this operation's center to be rear admiral john bitoff the emergency operations center for the city and county of san francisco. [applause] . >> well, thank you very much

very much mayor. it's a pleasure working with you. you're a consummate servant and it's a great pleasure working with the great people that manage this city and i thought it would be worth while if i could just take a couple of minutes, and i have the mayor's permission to make a couple of remarks and to tell you that i first set foot on this spot the day after the 1989 lo preaida earth yaik. mayor jordan -- mayor agnose called me and said "i need help". i said "i will do whatever i can". he said "can you meet with me and i have a laundry list of things" and absolutely where do you want to meet? i am at the command center on turk street. i asked

what the cross streets are. you know the bridge is down. can i land my helicopter there? yeah and lee got the police to clear the park. >> >> i came in here. the mayor was waiting for me and he took me down in the basement of the fire department communication's center to what was the fire department was the bedroom for the firefighters in the 911 -- in their 911 -- in their portion of the 911. i couldn't believe it. they moved beds aside, and they had butcher paper on the wall and i will never forget this. there was a consiewl general talking long distance
