the housing entities for administrative cost. 1 percent to housing authorities. it doesn't go to the locals. in fact the previous versions of the bills specifically exclude the cities and counties from this. it was only meant to go e to the federal agencies. here because our, the city elected to be the housing success or and the housing authority, the san francisco housing authority is not the housing success or. there are no, there is no distribution. but in marine county i know, marine county said we need relief. and this provides relief. it doesn't apply to san francisco and operations.

another item really clarifies for property management plans. in terms of transfer success or agencies were allowed to guess -- designate cities or public entity to approve a redevelopment plan and also clarified what this bill did that is pursuant to a community plan or 5-year implementation plan. we provided some clarification for our particular purposes on the property management plan, it doesn't help us because we were able to fit one of the boxes and does help other entities as we know around the state. >> lastly the bring to your attention there is a formula for loan repayments to the city or county that created the success or, the former redevelopment agencies. we do not have any outstanding

loans from the city that the city expected to get paid back. so this doesn't apply to us but it does apply to a number of success or agencies and sponsored and cities across the county. that concludes my presentation on assembly bill 471 and i'm available for any questions you may have. >> thank you. any questions or 471? >> interesting. >> i have to ask you about another assembly bill. i don't know how much is related to anything in san francisco, but assembly bill 440 that allows local entities to take the place of former redevelopment agencies to assign clean up sites and get environmental reports and require clean up? i can see where that would apply? >> is that steinberg?

>> from october, a few months ago. okay, i can see where it would apply in different states because you have redevelopment agency that they were the only body that would essentially allow a clean up site and responsibility for clean up site and there is no redevelopment agency that is going to do that and it allows the local entity to take that spot and i was wondering if that had any implication with this shipyard at all. >> i'm not familiar with any of the particulars. there are probably #6 or 7 with a number of redevelopment clean up bills and proposing to expand the permitted uses for ifd for affordable housing. i have to do some more due diligence on that and report back to you on the applicability on that.

there are a number of those out there and i have to keep the commission on the posted an we are tracking and following those. >> i think that's the only one that passed and that i had a question about and it was nicknamed polanco something like that. >> we'll look into that one and probably do an informational memo back to you on its applicability and i can put it back on the directors report. >> okay. thank you. any other questions? okay. this you very much. let's go back to item 5e. we finished our discussion. we have the sole proprietor from twin peaks iii. would you like to say anything about your business operations and how you are

finding things on shore view? >> actually what we do if we just monitor the park. >> my name is rita, harvey tyler with maintenance company and we monitor the park to make sure it's clean and if there is anything to be reported back to the redevelopment agency. so far everything is going really good and there is not a lot of major things that are happening that are not normal for a park of this size. >> if you can stand. we have more questions. >> what do you monitor there? >> sometimes there is activity where people come in the park and for example, if they put thing that should normally be in the park like for during the holidays there were a couple of christmas trees in the park. so things like that is what we call monitoring and making sure we dispose of

those items and make sure the park is kept in status with the grass being emptied and trash being mowed and people dispose of things necessarily in the park we make sure we keep it in a safe normal environment. >> do you have a camera there so you monitor everything? >> no. we take pictures of the park monthly when we submit our billing to the redevelopment agency so they can see how things are looking for a month to month basis. if there is activity where it's something out of the norm, then we take pictures. four -- for example like the christmas trees if someone dumped christmas trees in the park or someone left trash that is not normal trash you would put in trash

reacceptables. there have been instances where vehicles have driven through the park and burned grass and we show right away that these things are going on in the park. >> is there lots of trash there? >> yeah, the normal trash for people when they use the park for picnicking and they use the trash receptacle but people dispose of other things that is not normal trash. >> how many hours you spend per week there? >> it varies depending on what we have to do. i would say anywhere from five 5 hours a week we spend there. >> okay . thank you. >> thank you. any other questions? thank you very

much for joining us. i know we stressed you out getting here. we are to the motion part of our discussion unless there is anymore questions or comments? okay. entertain a motion on the extension of the personal services contract? >> so moved. >> thank you very much. is there a second? >> second. >> madam secretary please call the roll. commissioner ellington, aye, mondejar, sing, rosales, johnson. the vote is 5 ayes. >> the next business is item 9 commissioners questions and matters. >> commission matters? thank you very much. >> the mayor has a reception at 5:00 in room 201. you are

all invited to the board of supervisors and district attorney. >> thank you very much for inviting me. black history month went by fast. now it's women's history month. thank you very much, commissioner mondejar. anything else? i know we have a couple of ground breaking events coming up this month. as we come closer we'll give more announcements on that. >> the next item. >> the next item is closed session. there is no closed session. next item is adjournment. >> thank you very much. we are adjourned. >> [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >> >>

>> hi, in san francisco we're doing a special series called stay safe, about staying in your home after an earthquake. and today we're going to be talking about the neighborhood support center to help people find new resources when they stay in their home. ♪ ♪ >> we're here at the urban center in san francisco with sarah karlewski, deputy director of spur. we're talking about the shelter, a safe place to stay, exhibition at their center. and part of being able to shelter in place in your home is to be able to find a place nearby where you can get the services that you might not have in your home. and that's what this little neighborhood support center is for. >> that's right.

>> what are some of the services that might be provided in a neighborhood center like this? >> yeah. so, we think of the neighborhood support centers as really being homes away from home. so, after a major earthquake there is going to be a lot of confusion. people are going to need to try to meet up with other people. they're going to need a lot of information. so, a lot of what the neighborhood support center is going to provide is that information. basically we're going to be like a hub where people can come to get services, help, information, et cetera. what you see here on this table are a whole variety of did you ever rent things from tools, some walki-talkies. this helps people know what is going on in their neighborhood. over here you have a whole variety of water and canned goods. we're really hoping that people

will stock up for themselves at least for the first 72 hours if not more. i know that i have a ton of canned food and other sorts of things such as water within my own home. and everybody should, but there's going to come a time where people are going to end up running out and needing more. so, that's what we've got right here. >> so, this neighborhood support center, this doesn't look to be a major city sponsored fully stocked space. it can be a small commercial space, even somebody's garage as long as they have the information, a guide of information, who to call for what, communications equipment, some power, have a generator. >> that's right. >> thinking of lights and charge your cell phones and so on. and probably be operated by volunteers. >> volunteers, maybe members of nert could help out, people who live in the neighborhood that have some building skill could be helpful. so, if there is a structural engineer living nearby or even an architect, they could really

help people kind of understand what has happened to their homes and what sort of repairs might be needed. >> here we are with some of the things that you might find in a neighborhood support center. one thing we learned from hurricane katrina, people really rely on their portable electronics and their phone. we say here's a charging station tied up to the generation. the essential coffeepot. >> yes. >> maybe a computer, you can check your e-mail with. >> yes. we have our charging station here. and then over here you can see we've got a whole variety of things, including the all-important different tags. so, lawrence, do you want to talk a little about the tags? >> sure. people want to know what do these tags mean. is my building safe or unsafe. these are the city owe initial tags. staying in your home doesn't require that you get a tag. it just means that you use common sense and maybe get help from people who might be around who can help you evaluate

whether it's a safe place to stay. >> you might want to know because regular city services are disrupted, you might want to know when trash pick up is, if you need to get clean water, et cetera. also in the neighborhood support center, that kind of information would be available and we've got a little of that up here. >> trash pick up resumes regular schedule on wednesday. >> that's right. >> please mark your human waste. >> that's right. >> so, this is kind of an information center, communication center, also a center that hopefully will show people how to relate to their neighboring communities, what else is happening city-wide. and, of course, this is sort of the ubiquitous form of communication. my cat is missing, call me. >> exactly, because a lot of times, even if you do have a cell phone, and people do if you're really trying to save some of your precious energy minutes, et cetera, or it's not working as well as it normally does, it is helpful to have a message board that you can get

information to other people. and, so, that's what we're showing here. you can see people are going to be looking for their pets. they're going to be looking for rides. people are going to need to be sharing resources a much as they possibly can. another thing that you can see here is they're going to need to be fair tools and some of the things that people are going to need in order to be able to stay safer within their homes. so, we're just showing sort of a gesture to that with all these different tools here. but then also tarps, people are going to need to cover their windows if their windows are cracked, if their roofs are broken. so, ideally, the city would be able to know where all these neighborhood centers are and help deliver some of these supplies. >> they could come from a neighbor, maybe not. thank you so much for allowing us to come in and share this wonderful exhibit. and thank you for
