we've heard some here today. please match that. thank you. >> thank you, ms. jones. are there any other members that would like to speak at public comment? seeing none, we will close this item. i really want to thank all of our members of the public and our staff who waited through a two-hour hearing to speak at this one. it's really unfortunate that we couldn't have a more robust discussion around some of the engineering pieces and how we can better realign some of those processes, a deeper dive into the funding and, of course, into both the enforcement and prosecution piece. but i do want to thank everyone for being here today to do that. you know, some of our morningseses were spent here, but there is a rules committee meeting that's going to be starting soon and both supervisor yee who is chairing that and supervisor mar will have more committee hearings to go through this afternoon. i want to thank [speaker not understood] for your resilience today. just closing comments that i will just make.

i'm really looking forward to continuing to push this forward with supervisor yee and avalos and many other supervisors that are co-sponsoring this including supervisor mar and supervisor campos. we know that this is our commitment to saving lives here in the city and it's not just fatalities that impact families. it's injuries as well and as people continue to live with injuries from what they've experienced in the street has a long-term impact on their health and economic well-being as well. so, we know how important that is. and, so, i do want to thank sfmta, s.f.p.d., the district attorney's office, and [speaker not understood] for their strong commitment of vision zero. we can make this a reality. it's going to take many more discussions, but it's great to know headway is being made today because we can't wait for months or for years to make this happen. and we know that we've already had more fatalities than we've already wanted in the past two months. and, so, i want to hand it over

to supervisor yee and mar if they want to make any closing comments. supervisor yee. >> so, i'm also delighted that the departments and the city government are not waiting around for us to pass this resolution -- this legislation. and you're taking this step forward to actually make this a reality. and because of that i believe this is an action item, so, i would like to make a recommendation, [speaker not understood] positive recommendation for both item 2 and 3. >> thank you. so, we have the motion and all three of us are now committee members. so, can we take items 2 and 3, a recommendation to support without objection on both items 2 and 3? [gavel] >> thank you. mr. evans, is there any other business before us? >> that concludes today's agenda. >> thank you, everyone, for coming out. the meeting is adjourned. [gavel]you.

san francisco. some of you may have seen at the 3 and 4 in the morning people line up because you don't know how many 7090 daybeds there are it's not safe for men and women to be out in the street. i'm glad to say we've shifted that we're moving toward a lottery people can call 311 and make a recreation for a bed now we're going to see that people don't have to be out in the middle of the night people can go and get a meal and go to their appointment and those beds are by lottery. we looked at the long-term beds users people are afraid to have

a seizures or episode in a small hotel room so we're making changes inform did system interest the amazing thing i think the way our world is changing the people that have made 311 restoration people can get a text message and know where you're going to have a bed that might. there the leadership we've opened two other shelters one hundred and 20 beds for chronically bed also between folsom we're opening 374, fifth street there are homeless people between the ages of 16 and 24

and this facility came about and people are moving into this building to have housing. so i want to take a moment and acknowledge people from houston steve and judy harris stand up and wave (clapping) we love the mayor houston not because thoes the lesbian mayor. in the a first time that we have this sponsor and it's inspiring to us that google is our sponsor for pa c for this event we're really, really pleased. lastly i'm wondering in any friends in hand dot can i see a waiver from hand dot.

if you get a chance stop and see the amazing organization we've been supporting. hand dot uss pretty much a sponsor of homeless someone who was approaching his forgetting reunion he was homeless. it's a principal to work for a mayor that's you should in an area not only of growth and prosper it in the morning where your problems are big or small mayor ed lee >> thank you good afternoon, everybody. happy 53 and tenth this is where the beautiful people have come

in morning i've been laborer looking for. those are the times when people need help and us. they need us with good hearts and smiles and a good connection this is what project homeless has been about for 10 years i've been happy to work with barbara garcia and supervisor farrell and the a other supervisors and new partners that are helping us improve our services. it's not just keeping the cycle that bev vin talked about how about in connection with people giving them a warm smile talking about how to get into long-term support and services. we also help build thirty thousand more unit in san

francisco. how about that you how about we race the minimum wage yeah. help people get a descendent job and work with people like sdoolg so people on the streets can use them launching sf late the other day how about thanking you for the impact grants and all those wonderful things that are happening in san francisco. ? the greatest city in the world but i and everyday now are proving it to be the greatest city people want to be looking at the views and riding great cable cars up to the stars and walk the block but we want to

touch people's hearts like that kid did. everyday we're doing our best. sth past year we've learned more youth that on the streets then we thought before more less obedience and gaze a population of 50 percent we reduce chronic homelessness by 38 percent that's good but we have more to do we always have more to do we invite the challenges and create new perspires that's why good looking is here we need the best of our city government workers and the best of our community to help folks.

we want to be astronomer active for them so when google said they're to come in a volunteer i smiled because they started with the affordability how about free muni for youth for the next 23 years how about wifiing our parks so monoanyone can use this afternoon how about the rally for life how about all the wonderful grants give to impact people's lives in a positive way and to join the volunteers. those are the wonderful things and supervisor farrell is going to talk about how hocking to improve project homeless connect is just the beginning of tropics it was never both going to be the end when you touch people's

lives and they start opening up their lives that's about the engagement how to grab the challenges and work with them that so thank you people from houston. one of the security staff said how did howe house the road i don't in houston we don't have that here we have tech rodeos; right? >> (laughter). >> right. but this is all my way of saying with outline sincerity you have a great deal mayor we're going to work hard with you to make people astronomer their lives i want to start the foundation and please continue to help and get

our employees and employers involved and your family and friends and let's make tropics a real vision and thank you. let's celebrate project homeless connect (clapping.) thank you so i just want to mention as i bring up the next speaker many of the key staff out here providing services are in from our department of public health we couldn't do this without them let's give them a shout out. now i have the opportunity to bring up our rock star of public health. barbara garcia has been in the front when it seemed like we

couldn't have health care there's things about the affordable health care it's going to cover health services and without coverage no better partner than our health advocate barbara garcia >> good morning how many are first time advocates. all right. so i see workday workday folks raise our hands. we hope you'll have 10 more years and hopefully by that time we'll have the opportunity to house many more people. one of the things we are going to be doing as you see the incredible amount of services but daily connect it wouldn't look like this it will be our

staff going to into the shelter for signing up people for my glasses and homes. we have the advantage of getting people into one hundred percent homes. it's going back going to be beneficial as mayor ed lee talked about also being able to get them housed and the department of public health i think we find it's worst a hand in order to complete somebody's health care and be in the best health they need a home. i want to thank you you you're going to have tired feet from walking in the concrete so make sure you come back and we're going to look for you in the

next 10 years thank you very much (clapping.) so it's been mentioned this the the tenth anniversary of project connect and also the tenth anniversary mayor newsom partnered with another colleague and pulled a plan together to end chronic homelessness. as the mayor indicated we've cut that in half 63 one hundred and others are chronically homeless. one of the main goals was to develop 3 thousand new units of permanent permanent howard's now we've got to 28 hundred and i think that demonstrates we can

be successful and i also want to say that was 40 percent of our jail population was homeless now we're down to 20 percent. i bring those issues up because supervisor farrell give him a round of applause. supervisor farrell is our last speaker a great friend to the mayor and myself and others i'm glad to say he's held one meeting already and laid a road map for many hearings we talk about homelessness and reflect over and over on our services a 20 percent drop for veterans and so we're happy to have our supervisor supervisor farrell >> thanks how about a big round

of applause for mayor ed lee and all the department heads. so i want to first of all, thank for being here today. what you're doing is what we're all about in san francisco volunteering our time and taking time out of your workday no pun intended for the work folks. the magnitude we have 35 hundred people every night sleeping on our streets. we have mothers and fathered and sons and daughters those are people we need to care about this is a human issue and to be part of our city's effort we can't do it as a city government alone we do things together and all our cooperate sponsor to google who contributions not

>> hi. welcome to san francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths. what do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special?

>> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing. >> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no

relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain. i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day? >> yes. it happens when it's least convenient. when it happens people say we were lucky and when they don't. it's terrible timing. it's never a good time for an earthquake. >> but we are going to have one. >> how about the ground swallowing people into the ground? >> like the earth that collapsed? it's not like the tv shows. >> the earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but it's not something that opens up and sucks you up

into haddes. >> it's not going anywhere. we are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. >> southern california is moving north. it's coming up from the south to the north. >> you would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. >> for better or worse. >> yes. >> this is a tough question. >> those other ones weren't tough. >> this is a really easy

challenge. are the smaller ones less stress? >> yes. the amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. >> i think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4.7. >> so small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future? >> not anyway that you can count on. >> i have heard that buildings in san francisco are on rollers and isolated? >> it's not true. it's a conventional foundation like almost all the circumstances buildings in san francisco.

>> the trans-america was built way before. it's a pretty conventional foundation design. >> i have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. is there anything of value to that ? >> yes, if you are in your room. you should drop, cover and hold onto something. if you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. if you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, it's not a bad place to be. >> the reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. you are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. you are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity.

>> you want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. >> where can i buy a richter scale? >> mr. richter is selling it. we are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. they are not available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use the richter scale anymore. we use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ? >> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the

duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in '89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey,

thanks pat for >> the pledge of allegiance? >> president mazzucco i would like to call roll. >> please do. >> president mazzucco. >> present. >> vice president turman is in route. >> commissioner marshal? >> here. >> commissioner dejesus, in route. >> commissioner chan? >> present. >> commissioner kingsley is resigned. >> okay. >> and commissioner loftus? >> here. >> present. >> commissioner you have a quorum and also with us this evening
