collect information and enter it whatever it necessary. i also strongly falsify sf save they're good with dealing with the public this is a very good and ease thing for them to do >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning. i'm mark i'm a teacher and resident in south of marketing. i want to say thank you to the supervisors the sftv and everyone n involved in crafting a violation for a san francisco this is a save for continued cycle >> thank you for your great work in education. >> i represent the association at c park station. we're lucky enough to have c

station taking care of of registration. it's not horrify you've got to get the numbers of the bicycles to the owners. the other thing you talk about bike parking there's no one at city hall. i think if you're going to start to promote safety and save parking start with city hall okay. thank you >> mr. lee. >> thank you. good morning, supervisors. i'm edmond lee. i want to say that i want that is a great idea and a there's a lot of interest out there and it shouldn't be two difficult to implement you know what all the best practices. as has been mengsdz i think with the educational component and the outreach this will give the

community a greater sense of safety that someone's watching they're back and people may look at bicycles as the alternative mode of transportation. so with all those efforts combined we can make this something that's doable and something the people will welcome. and i think it would be really helpful. i budget a bike about a month ago so and got it registered. thank you >> thank you. >> good morning my name is jean i'm a member of the richmond police advisory board. i'm here to thank you for spearheading this and thank you

to all the bicycle coalition. this is a phenomenal program and i really, really like the sound of the collaboration. i think as supervisor mar pointed out out he lost emphasis bicycle in grammar school the impact of having a bicycle stole s can last a long time. this will help deal with some of the frustration and anger and the sense of he feelsness. finally i'd like to give a shout out to sf save. i've had the pleasure probation officer to work with those folks. i strongly support those folks.

thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning. i'm shawn sullivan i'm a member of notary republic no. i live on ashbury where the bike lanes. my personal experience in san francisco i've lost two to theft from my private property. the result of break ins and almost a year ago exactly i was cycling towards golden gate park and i saw a van with its backdoor open and in that van were maybe 20 bikes and on the grass between the panhandle grass were 15 bikes and people

were working on them. i rode past and i know what happened. i stopped my bike and a waited about 20 minutes and thought i'd call 9-1-1. i found out that that phone call ruled in a felony arrest warrant but the apathy was shong. the bicycle registration program certainly will go a long way of mite the results of having your bikes disappear.

about a year ago i come down to my garden and found a little kids bicycle and the bike had been discarded along with an into beer bottle. i could picture the kids face his bike. but if this bike had of been registered he could getting get it back >> hi i'm jenny i'm a resident of oakland i work here in the city. i serve on the board of the bicycle coalition. i had my bicycle a high-end mountain bike stolen no oakland last year but was lucky enough to get it from a flea market.

i realize by putting out the information that we work as an interactive producer but there's not a different coalition of information. but it vardz and people don't know what to do when are a theft occurs. i set up a gooelg account and there's tips of what to do if you have a bicycle stolen. i probably get maybe 5 to 10 e-mails. i think i've made a lot of contact there's folks no portland and a woman in boston

that's created a bike mapping to show where bike thefts occur. but i think if we can make a concerted effort that will help >> thank you for your tweets and facebook activities is there no one else on the public who wants to speak. >> thank you. i'm dave i'm a resident at 150 lombardy in the central district. i appreciate you bringing this issue up today. it's really become american people epidemic. i've had too high end road bikes stolen they were both valued over $2,200 and one was in my

condominium garage locked with a secure electronic gate tv surveillance. then i lost another bike i keep my bike with me at all times. and i ride a clunker. the bottom line here i agree with the ridge but my concern is getting to the root of the problem the thieves. the bike operations are necessary. after my second bike was stolen this year i talked to the police captain they're concerned but the bottom line is when they bring the thieves in front of the judge the judicial system

kicks them out. the judicial system is the area we need to hit open because when the thieves are brought to court we need to instill a deterrent if the word gets out they're getting tougher that will help. the system now betsy let's folks back outthink the street >> thank you, mr. sherman i think there's no other speakers on the public. >> thank you very much supervisor mar and colleagues do we have any more questions on this issue. i thank supervisor mar >> i want to thank all the speakers in the public

especially sf save and the bicycle coalition for working with us. a lot of the jazz reports and analysts reports we hope to work on but also the long-term term he sugsdz from the police department. i think that the great study done has a lot of practical advise. i'm feeling much better about the 40 years of having my bicycle stole in middle school. i think with the police departments suggestions i feel like the law enforcement side is one of the key points of having a much stronger prosecution and ability to go after the theft rings that some people brought

up 90 from the public and so my hope is we can look at those long-term issues and with the district attorney's office. on the other side i'm grateful for the that your, honor with save and especially from the it depends that have spoken here today. but i feel better about louis my bike and we need to promote bicycle as a key mode of traffic. and i want to add that one of the things that stuck out in my mind there are a lot of people not reported the bicycle theft. so regardless of the proof or minimal they need we want to

stress the importance of reporting. so in the presentation it had estimates of the potential number of bicycle thefts and a lot of that folks have tome their you bikes have been stolen but never reported. i think i want to make sure we include a way to do reporting so people can know what their sets up are in terms of reporting and highway we he can be just pro-active about getting 23 that information out into the public. thank you for all the participants and i'm happy we've tale a leadership role so we can get the problem under control >> thank you. i forgot to mention the work done in my office i did some

work but peter did the outreach and i want to thank peter for his work >> i move to table this item. >> okay. great thank you very much. again, i want to thank all the participantss to the bicycle coalition for sf save and to our city staff and the police department and the public and for the mta for their work and officer friedman thank you you are truly on a unsung hero. so with that we have a motion of table. thank you very much. thank you supervisor breed and periphery more and more to you and your staff. mr. clerk call the next item and

it's on the storm preparedness >> that was another issue brought forward by supervisor mar. >> thank you so i wanted to thank chair campos for hearing this important matter on storm erroneousness and preparedness. it's another issue that's been brewing since a tremendous amount of water leading to a man cover busting forward and raw sewage flowing into the pacific ocean and other problems throughout the city when this happened. i know we're faced with climate change leading to

unpredictability of weather patterns whether a number of regional bodies participating there will be more thurmdz and high winds. even this past year they lead to flooding and property damage and also the safety of folks. but it's been a priority to make sure we're prepared for those types of sformz. we are within our departments working on the best methods to address issues but it's come to my attention as many baerments of varies buildings and many homes and the basements and in-law units tend

to get flooded so it causes a horrible situations with molds from those types of storms. every few years there 0 underground situations. i think the issues may become worse. the sewer openings are clogged so many correspondence get flooded and proper drainage of rainwater is a critical issue for the city as well. the last storm system in the city we saw the impacts on our neighborhood addresses the sewage promises can result from

different levels of types of flooding and the debris blocking the drainage sometimes lead to some traffic danger as intersections get flooded. in addition to ocean beach which is damaged at times erosion is another problem that is caused by storm with different levels of sand transfer from one area north to south or vice versa. strong high winds have common in san francisco and this year we had winds up to 75 miles per hour and trees become damaged and heavy damage to cars and

homes and other properties and businesses. i i know on park boulevard there's been a number of trees and fulton as well. but the measures are current been taken but based on those problems i think the hearing today will hopefully achieve 3 goals. the first one is the permit we understand our cities plan for storm response and we have the public works and department of public energy to talk about that. i think it's important to know which lead agency if there is one. i think the communities need to be aware who they should call for help if a tree falls.

second i think it's important we work on strengthening our storm response system so hopefully, we'll hear about what the city is doing there as we expect for extreme weather. it could corporate with other department of energy plans. and lastly, i think we need to collect for systematic data. so the representatives from the department of works and public works and public utilities commission are going to address those. so we have a gentleman from our department of public works. we have a a staff member here

from the public utility commission. i am going to call on the director from the department of public works >> okay. i'm with the department of public works and supervisor i'm the program manager for our energy response. so let me start out by saying i'm going to phone call focus on the respond and preparedness for responding to storms. the department of energy management will look at a board citywide view and in terms of the sewers exacerbates the

public works about begin to address. we're going to go dribble and go border and border. i'm going to start out by saying the public works and puc work together in response. we sort of work together and have for many, many years in terms of those activities. more recently, we formed that relationship into a written protocol so we have written protocols of what to say before and after the storm. and every year we modify it and update it bans our recent experience. so similar we responded to 8 hundred and 52 storm related calls like tree obstruction.

we indoctrinated 3 thousand sandbags. so let me talk about the protocol. it's to minimize the impact of the storm the rain and high wind on the public and to mitigate the infrastructure dangle. so the objectives we focused on was really to restore the passage ways by removing debris. the sxep we have it the protocol and equipment and things. we have certainly actions to take before the storm and we identify things before the storm and afterwards. let me talk about the planning

piece of this is looking at the storm protocol and check list. we are look at the piling of the sandbags and coordination of public information. so one of the major things like the supervisor mentioned t is getting the public to sweep up their leaves so they don't end up in the catch basin areas. so during the storms we've do our outreach. before the storm we conduct a prestorm planning meeting initially and look at the anticipated conditions of the storm. how much rain are we expecting and whether there are high tides.

sometimes, people don't realize in a low tied situation the impact would be different than hi tides. we will challenge phone number and look at t and look at the vablth of the resources and make a decision as to whether we anticipate opening up our department operational centers we may open up one or no one or both. before the storm begin we'll safer and trim tree limbs that maybe problematic. this will remind contractors to secure sites. during high winds we've

experiences like skalg falling and so we'll do a little reminded to check out the site and make sure everything is secure. during this storm we encourage everyone to call in and to use 311 so we centralize the information. so we're not duplicating or going to the same calls. so again, we encourage everyone to use 311. we'll send out a storm watch team and they'll go to airs that generally have past histories of flooding and they'll be monitoring. then we'll dispatch includes

according to clear the catch basins or cut the trees up and remove the debris. in most cases dp w is clearing the catch basins. so if we can't do it we'll get other downstairs to help. we'll notify the puc of the areas. we'll maybe have to have both agencies come together and kwopt through the structure. and then after the storm we like to conduct an after review of the event what happens and should we have done things

better and we'll identify the gaps and make the improvements through the protocol depending upon what we if the and that's about it for the response. my questions >> no thank you very much. >> thank you. >> the next speaker who's the executive assistant for the department of management. actually, i want to start with a question she mention the prestorm planning. how much time do we know before a large superfluous storm is a hitting i i know there have been storm warnings. i appreciate the opportunity to

appear before you. i think there's two answers. i think we know every winter we're going to experience bad storms and we work hard to educate the public because whether it's a stomp of heat wave or earthquake we have the planning that should happen everyday have 3 days of food and water and supplies. in terms of a bad storm we coordinate with another agency to keep close tabs on storms. we are getting the same information as your local weather man but here able to provided feedback. we don't have to wait to turn on

the news but we work with other agencies to get the forgets and share that with city officials as well as with the public. and that's what i'll talk about here is mostly how we share information. the public works and puc really have responded out in the streets. as the department of management we're the citywide coordinator. we coordinate with the our state partner and we'll do a series of confidence with them that can tell us
