additional room for a dog to take up enough space for 1 person. so i'm wondering if there was some ability underneath to provide underneath the seats enough space. i have not entered a car yet with my dog. i do have a disability and have a service dog for balance. i would appreciate any consideration you can make for those of us that require dogs to be functional. thank you. >> thank you. is there any other comment on the bridge line? okay. moving on. going to agenda item no. 8.

information item, report from the disability disaster preparedness committee. >> good afternoon, the disabilities commission met. the first meeting held march 26,27, and 28 transportation

was one area of many exercises. it was community based organizations and city and county government, muni and private enterprises to solve the problems with transportation during a disaster. the next topic the committee took up was the review of the city shelter database. which roughly 50 percent of the city shelters are fully accessible. many others are unusable but not ada compliant. there were many

efforts to make shelters fully accessible or at least unfavorable for people with disabilities in an event of a disaster. there are three categories of shelters in the city. one is city owned properties and schools, two churches, three, private schools and the work base organizations to work on accessibility issues. there are no requirements for private schools to be accessible. the committee thought importance to pursue in the future. then the committee set several goals in the next 18 months. included in the list were for data base, point of distribution, sites throughout the city for food and supply for people with mobility issues and coordinating with government and community based organizations to lower -- services and ensure maximum

effect of services in the event of a disaster. this concludes the report. the disability committee meets next on friday july 11, 2014, at city hall. we welcome all to attend. thank you. end of report. >> thank you. >> you're welcome.>> i would like to make a correction or clarification to the board. one of the items that were discussed at the disability disaster preparedness committee meeting is that more than 80 percent of the site on the list on the shelter data base list are usable to people with disabilities are not necessarily ada compliant as the current regulations of the department of traffic

requires. and approximately 50 percent of the site are city and county under city and county of san francisco jurisdiction so we know a lot about the disability. the other 50 percent are faith based organizations and community agency which remain to be inspected and reviewed. >> thank you. moving forward, we have agenda p item no. 9. public comment. items not on today's agenda but within the jurisdiction of the mdc council. >> hi, good afternoon. cochairs. just want to touch on a little bit of the history in san francisco in terms of

advocacy and also what you have been doing and those before you. i recall one, after the meeting. one item in front of us was ada related training. soon after the incident approximately 12 years ago. after heated discussion and ada coordinator from michael sergeant sullivan, i don't know if he's still there. he asked for $40,000 in training for the police. it's not big money. after the discussion we moved fov it and support it. i talked to myself, 5:00 p.m., why have we done so far, are we going to make a difference. the guy, the supervise who controls the funding, the finance committee. that

happens to be leland yee. so i make a phone call to his office to give it a try and we are in some relationship with -- mayor's supervisor. he's done a few good things and significant by the city college. i was a student at that time as well. i made a phone call. two days later he called back and woke me up and he said, this is leland, are you there, michael? i said yes. what happens to the $40,000 funding for the prang is -- training is not a big amount. it's never been my style or my approach, but i think when we as advocates or councilmembers we should try to do something we could have

done differently or out of that box to make that phone call whether you know them or not because they serve on our behalf. they are on our payroll as well. annoy -- you know what i mean. thank you. >> thank you. is there any other public comment for item no. 9. items on today's agenda? okay. >> hi, my name is larry j edmond's. yesterday was my birthday. i come down here especially because i want the mayor to know that and sro's that we have a little bit too much race as much, verbal abuse, profanity, threats and violence and phobic. i have been dealing with this since february. a young lady came to me today where she's in a room at 208 and i'm in 520. i'm

glad that she was here. she left before i got here. the ideal that the current newspaper, i told her that she can come here on a third friday. she was amazed and she beat me here. generally when we get to the hotel, a lot of tenants don't know about these meetings here because somebody will remove them in our building. she was like, i was just glad that she made it here and she knew how to get here and now she can come back. but being a person with disabilities and not being able to approach a person is sometimes is hard that people don't want to is survive by your disability. you should have disclosed the disability when you respect others. but, today i'm supposed to be right now. mental health really matters. i really hope that

more on mental health will be brought up for keeping the sro's because there are people just sitting there. they don't get out. i think bart could be good. i ride bart to the end of the lean. -- line and people can use those types of mobility back and forth and i hope bart will run better. i know when they come in those bicycles and wheelchairs. i ride cal trans a lot for football and basketball games. they have a set up where you put the bicycles. something needs to be worked because there is frustration with people not being able to. last night about 2 or 3:00 i'm looking at the ac transit.

about 60 people getting on the bus. it's amazing how a 24 hour bart and it's amazing how many people got on the bart. so many people come here at night. if you are ever downtown at 2 or three in the morning, it's taking so many people back to east bay. it's amazing and wonderful. thank you.a any public comment? we have on the bridge line. >> hello. are you there. >> i have no more comment, thank you. >> okay. thank you. okay. moving forward. agenda item no. 10. information item

correspondence. >> there isn't any correspondence this week. >> thank you. discussion item. agenda item no. 11. discussion item. councilmember comments and announcements? i have got a comment and a question. how did everyone here at council think about today's show up of people in attendance? comments on that? >> it was encouraging to see as many people out here as possible that we saw. in particular the mobility impaired, sight impaired community was represented. i wish we could have heard from more. >> thank you. i agree.

cochair supanich that it's always a great sight to see in person and the bridge line people taking advantage of that access for their means. today hopefully moving forward whether it be about bart, whether it be about housing, whether it be about any other issues affecting our community that you know that you have a place not to just come every third friday, but for a place to go afterwards. this is a hub that we can create here to go forward outside of this council and do good work. and comments? councilmember? >> did i just cancel myself? i want to thank the organizations and the disability community coming out today. i'm really glad that we could provide a forum for these issues and concerns about bart and access issues.

and i hope this begins the dialogue between the disability community and bart. and going forward, i would like to see a future updates from bart and from the disability community to see handout you -- how this partnership goes forward with the recommendations. i look forward to hearing more. thank you. >> thank you. and with that, agenda item 12. adjourn. thanks for coming. we'll look forward to seeing you next june on the third friday.
