i think when i was here the last time, i think you may have misunderstood me. i would like to give you some history on hetch hetchy. my husband is named james rich. he was the first black man to be hired by hetch hetchy here in san francisco. he was the one that trained other blacks when they came in and trained other workers when they came here and worked in san francisco. the reason he could not join the electrician union because they did not allow blacks in the union at that time. and that was one of the reasons i was in support of local hiring, and explained the situation to the supervisor about what happened to my husband. because i had to live that. in fact, when he was going to become the general manager up there, at hetch -hetchy, we went up there to look around because you get free rent and everything. i went up there and saw nothing, but trees, snakes and bears and they wanted to demote him and i said no, we're going

back to san francisco. so that is the reason why. and he retired and when he retired and your people can look it up, the fact how long he was the only black worker at hetch hetchy. james rich. it's not jackson. so i don't want to get it twisted. when i was talking about e, i wanted to know whether or not -- he told me not to use his name, because nobody knew rich. that was why i was able to keep my name, because i have gone under jackson for so long. so he allowed me not to use his name. my concern when i saw about the

electricians and remember when we had the shutdown before, i wanted to make sure that did not happen again. that was my only concern. i was not opposed to electricians, because they make good money, even for today. thank you very much. >> thank you, doctor, i will follow-up on your comment because we commented on same item you remember and the information that we requested at that time was with respect to accepting the work contract, is there any connection between who is performing that work and at rate it was and their inability to meet these requirements for the contractors? right that was the up with thing. the other thing i believe we will get a report from staff. the reason i didn't move to separate the item is because bass electric has performed the work. they have performed the work with a competent crew from what i understand and i will raise this issue under "new business"

so we can continue to have the conversation and shed more light and clarity. >> thank you very much, now i can go home. >> thank you. more public comment? good afternoon. >> is there any other public comment on the consent calendar? we have already had a vote, is it appropriate to move forward? okay then i will go ahead and call for a vote. is there a motion on the consent calendar? >> move it. >> it's been moved. is there a second? >> second. >> and seconded. i will call for the vote, all those in favor, signify by saying aye? >> aye. >> and opposed? the ayes have it and the motion carries. next item, madame secretary. >> item no, approve amendment to agreement no. cs-139 and direct the executive manager to

those problems for about ten years. during the time i was on the cac, i was active in making recommendations about this and that. but one of the things i was persistent about was asking about the puc's planning for disasters. i came to san francisco originally in 1988 from a background as a research scientist in astronomy and worked at va hospital and employed at presidio of san francisco when it was an active military base before they started the wars in iraq and kuwait and it was the headquarters of the u.s. the army and anybody that old, maybe mr. torres will remember a very active military complex. >> i'm only 57, geez. [ laughter ] >> there were a lot of bases

here and a lot of people could do pipe fitting and electrical work and they had excellent training programs for young people who developed those trades, but now they are all gone. and the technical hands-on competence in san francisco is very limited. at the time of the earthquake in 1989, i had my job as chief of operations and maintenance at the presidio for three or four months that included responsibility for all utilities. and i shortly after the earthquake, i told my boss who was sitting around and said, hey, randy, who is in charge and he said you are. i said oh, you know? it was not in my job description, but it was up to me to find out there was a lot of hissing going on and what water breaks and gas breaks and how to restore electrical power.

ed at that point i rented out a type writer to write out plans because if another earthquake, i didn't want to get stuck as the fall-guy. i realized in preparing for a disaster you have to have a plan in advance and i was wondering what the puc's plan -- typically they don't occur during normal business hours and in san francisco, you find that most of your firefighters and police and electricians and others live far from the city. more recently, i happened to visit new york city which had

a storm system that flooded their subways system and closed down the statue of liberty and ellis island and had to develop responses to it. but i am -- i have passed out to you a brochure, not made by me. i had nothing to do with this. this is something that former mayor art agnos has been giving speeches about. and i suppose it depends on big a fan you are of more building around the waterfront. >> thank you, just to be fair to the other public commenters, the time allotted for this discussion has already passed. so we will accept whatever you have into the record and just give us a final thought.

>> first question is where will the landfill be when we have a big earthquake? where are we going to put all the debris? it was a big deal in new york city, if we give up all the waterfront space and open space along the waterfront and if we give up these piers, where do we put the debris? there will be a lot of buildings made prior to the new codes that have not been corrected. >> okay. >> is the communication system now working? there are several articles in the newspaper saying it was a boondoggle. third question it's understood that the cal pacific hospital has applied for a lot of money to build a replacement hospital because it's seismically unsafe. if we had a big earthquake today in san francisco, the capacity. >> there are three questions. >> my third question, where

would the emergency u.s. navy ship, a floating hospital ship dock in all the piers were given up along the waterfront? >> so i do have them here. >> and i'm giving all of these to you and there is a history in san francisco, where there are a lot of political appointees to igsignificant things like emergency response and i would hate to see that done again. >> thank you, mr. hanson. >> my question is what is san francisco doing? >> thank you very much for being here. i will make a commitment in public to meet with you offline to make sure that i have the information just the way you wanted it to be presented and question have staff go over it. we appreciate your time today. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed and madame secretary will you read the items to go over in las vegas? >> yes >> item 17, existing

>> we're back on the record and announce no formal action was taken during closed sessioned and is there a motion whether or not to discuss closed session? >> so moved. >> moved not to discuss the closed session. >> second. >> all those in favor, signify by saying aye? >> aye. >> that motion carries. madame secretary, next item. >> any other business? >> commissioners? >> i do have an item that was discussed briefly today with doctor jackson up at the podium. and it relates to the accepting work performed by one of our contractors, which we did, in fact, accept. there were discussions that reflected in the minute meetings that we adopted and approved today, relating to the connection or lack thereof of performing certain types of work at a certain rate of pay

and the inability to meet certain necessary criteria and subsequent findings and to categorize that discussion accordingly and make sure it appears on a future agenda after we meet with staff and make sure they are ready for that conversation. >> any others, commissioners? seeing none, this meeting is adjourned.
