not to defer people from exercising their rights under the ellis act it's for the purpose of giving tenants a fighting chance to sty in san francisco. that's all it is. and i think that a fighting chance is something that everyone deserves and t is sxhifth with the values of san francisco. we'll come back to this item for the next meeting and i strongly courage my colleagues to support in piece of legislation and to move forward it forward to the board of supervisors >> thank you supervisor campos. one thing i think it's important to keep in mind that if someone's getting ellised out of their unit whether a mom and pop landlord or a major conglomerate i think it's equally devastating

to the tenant. i i know in terms of ellis evictions and threatened ellis act evictions they're done by large new real estate investigators and long time landlords. we know that a significant majority of the ellis evicts they've not owned long so senator leno will prohibit of the ellis act evictions with fewer than 5 years of ownership but all the evictions are problematic and so i think that's important to keep that in mind >> supervisor kim. >> thank you for supervisor campos office for the work on this legislation. at the minimum wage costs should

be to reflect the current market and inflation. we're certainly seeing here 90 in san francisco this the the rent increases are above and beyond what we've seen and it's been articulated where land is quite valuable. it's important we keep up with the times and sure a level of stabilization for our tenants fatiguing eviction. i appreciated the members of the public who shared their stories picture its important to remember the experience of eviction is not only the loss you have your unit by the immense stress when you see there's nothing i can food it is

really, really unfortunate. by, of course, overall the loss of the special network and especially, if you're a senior resident that's something that no amount of money is replace or be accounted for the larger issue is what we're seeing in san francisco the wide abuse of the ellis act. i look forward to that in sacramento as we try to close the loophole and sure that the act is what it's meant to be not only by owns coming into the market and flipping and often they flip in the first 5 years. i really appreciated having stand up come ice cream i'd like to see that more often i think a (laughter)

doing a special series about staying safe. let's look at issues of water and sewer. we are here at the san francisco urban center on mission street in san francisco and i'm joined today by marrielen from puc and talk about water and sewer issues. what are things we should be concerned about water. >> you want to be prepared for that scenario and the recommendation is to have stored 1 gallon per person per day that you are out of water. we recommend that you have at least 3-5 days for each person and also keep in consideration storage needs for your pets and think about the size of your

pets and how much water they consume. >> the storage which is using tap water which you are going to encourage. >> right. of course at the puc we recommend that you store our wonderful delicious tap water. it's free. it comes out of the tap and you can store it in any plastic container, a clean plastic container for up to 6 months. so find a container, fill it with water and label it and rotate it out. i use it to water my garden. >> of course everyone has plastic bottles which we are not really promoting but it is a common way to store it. >> yes. it's an easy way to pick up bottles to store it. just make sure you check the label. this one says june 2013. so convenient you have an end date on it. >> and there are other places where people have water stored in their houses. >> sure. if you have a water heater or access to the water

heater to your house, you can drink that water and you can also drink the water that the in the tank of your toilet. ; not the bowl but in your tank. in any case if you are not totally sure about the age of your water or if you are not sure about it being totally clean, you can treat your water at home. there is two ways that you can treat your water at home and one is to use basic household bleach. the recommendation is 8 drops of bleach for ever gallon of water. you add 8 drops of bleach into the water and it needs to sit for 30 minutes. the other option is to boil water. you need to boil water for 5-10 minutes. after an earthquake that may not be an

option as gas maybe turned off and we may not have power. the other thing is that puc will provide information as quickly as possible about recommendations about whether the water is okay to drink or need to treat it. we have a number of twice get information from the puc through twitter and facebook and our website sf water.org. >> people should not drink water from pools or spas. but they could use it to flush their toilets if their source are not broken. let's look at those issues. >> sanitation is another issue and something people don't usually or like to think about it but it's the reality. very likely that without water you can't flush and the sewer system can be impeded or affected during an earthquake.

you need to think about sanitation. the options are simple. we recommend a set up if you are able to stay in your building or house to make sure that you have heavy duty trash bags available. you can set this up within your existing toilet bowl and once it's used. you take a little bit of our bleach. we talked about it earlier from the water. you seal the bag completely. you make sure you mark the bag as human waste and set it aside and wait for instruction about how to dispose of it. be very aware of cleanliness and make sure you have wipes so folks are able to wash up when dealing with the sanitation issue. >> thank you so much,
