we have a second by supervisor mar and colleagues, can we take those motion without objection and the underlying item can we take that without objection? do so as well thank you madam clerk item 8 >> item 8 is an ordinance to amend the prevailing wage code for work on the on-site assembly that's temporary inhabits delayed and module especially inference for covering the deck ratify materials with conventions and others special events on city property. okay supervisor wiener. >> thank you, mr. speaker, colleagues this legislation will help insure that workers who are involved in the set up and take down of trade show on city

property are paid a living wage. we want to make sure that the people living in san francisco, california live here we have a history of making sure that people are paid a decent wage. this legislation that is endorsed by san francisco labor council says that workers will be paid for take down and set up and others special events when this work happens on city property. the legislation is clear and explicit that street fairs run by nonprofits and other community event are not included in this legislation. the legislation is about insuring with the large corporate events the advertising of a product product and service

pay a living wage they spill out into the city streets are include like the pride and folsom in free public access are not. when the legislation was introduced there was concern raised they'll be saddled with a new financial obligation they couldn't food that's not the case. colleagues this is the right thing to do and will have a benefit to the workers. today i'll be making a cynicism non-adjective action after the board of supervisors adapts the

wage so we have a prevailing wage rate created by the commission so colleagues, i ask for your support and i would like to call up joe the business representative from local 10. >> thank you to the board and to supervisor wiener. also to andreas power who has worked with us for quite sometime. this is a big deal furs. i've been with local 510 for 42 years grew up in san francisco and the sign delay work is my trade it's allowed me to stay and make a good living in the city. my primary you don't say was

tree crossroad with the local i see what it's like to have opportunity to live and make a decent living in a city like san francisco that's tough. we fall in any local a sort of a strange inch we're not part of san francisco building trades but our inch is a service industry in the trade shows some of the corporate events closings down t down the oracle shows there's been confusion about it for us whether or not whose jurisdiction is that. it's been in question we took what we saw from our colleagues with local 16 and the teamster's

and took that as a prime model to follow suit and avoid conflicts in the future we're working with getting along with each other for the benefit of the city and industry. i really appreciate the opportunity be to be able to put forth this language. i'd like to call forward a couple of members from our union that by the end from the work we do >> why don't they come up urging during public comment we appreciate the remarks. >> thank you. mr. chairman at this point we can open up for public comment

>> is there anyone who wishes to speak on the item? >> good afternoon, everyone i'm affordable housing phenomena's i'm a local 510 sign and union member he i was born and raised in san francisco and recently completely that i apprenticesship program it's made it tougher than ever for the san franciscans to stay here now as a journey mammal it allows me to make a decent living wage for my 65-year-old mother and i to live here. i'm concerned that one day i may not be able to afford living here that's why i feel it's important to continue to train

we can continue to live here and support our community. thank you. >> thank you is there any further public comment mr. chairman may we close public comment. >> colleagues at this i mentioned that is a good step forward in our city's commitment to earn a wage where we can live in the city and i would like first to adapt a minor amendment i mentioned and ask we moved with a positive recommendation. >> we have a motion on the floor it's bs'd been circulated a second by supervisor mar without objection and the underlying item. >> a motion to move forward are a with a positive recommendation.

>> okay is there anyone who wishes to speak on the item? >> no, mr. chair. >> okay. we're >> 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

all right, everybody. it seems we got our issue resolved. our interpreter is being featured. if everyone can take their seats we should begin momentarily. >> first of all thank you for coming here today. welcome to mayor's disability council here on may 16, 2014. my name is derek zarda. the new elected cochair. i will be handing it out to mr. wong.
