and policy committee of june 18, 2014. >> yes, this is very sad because this is my last report as chair of the rules committee. it was fun. so we had three items, one was legislative overview where we heard about the budget and our legislative priorities. the second thing we heard was the charter school memorandum, understanding the facilities use agreement so right over the agreement and the next step is that the agreements will be presented to the board of education for ratification in august of this year. the last item is we discussed

the appointment process for the community advisory committee for essential education. the -- our committee reviewed the current appointment for office which was discussed a bit at our last board meeting. the appointment process is governed by the education code so it's outlined in the district's plan, and so that plan, which was revised in june 2007 is currently being updated. and what the next steps are around that is to coordinate with the administration and the community and the advisory committee itself to ensure the updated plan is consistent where practical with the district board policy 2020 governing our citizen advisory committee. it's an ongoing process for us with the advisory committee itself. we want to headache sure all our advisory committees are to the extent possible governed by

2012, but obviously this [inaudible] gofrned in a different way so that's a process of working with our general council, as well as staff and committee itself to make sure to the extent possible we're able to align those policies. >> thank you commissioner haney. and may we please have a report from the billings and ground services committee of yesterday? >> we had quite a lively discussion last night. we had a report at 1979 mission street, which is on the corner of mission and 16th street and the proposed 351 apartment units, as well as retail space in the bottom at that location and the impact it will have on marshal elementary school. we also talked about the willy brown academy and the progress

being made in the building of that school. the steel has arrived and so if you go by the building you'll start seeing an actual structure coming into play. so that was very exciting to hear and we're still on schedule to open in 2015 and there are a lot of pieces in place around the marketing of the school, how it's going to be advertised particularly at the -- our annual fair and then we're also going to be hiring a sounding principal so that's going to be another exciting piece to that. and then we had two very interesting reports, one on the custodial services during the summer and we have quite a bit of custodial social securities that need to be implemented throughout the summer because of deep cleaning, because of summer programming, we are going to continue those

discussions and better understand how we balance some of the pieces to that. there are -- it was, i think very clear to all of us that we need more custodians in our district and that how we utilize our custodians, we just need to be thinking about that differently. and then the other piece to that was our permitting on the summer programming so elizabeth lee was available to answer any questions on that. willy green reported on the custodians and then we had larry who came in to talk to us about the work orders and the process in which work orders come through and priorities in which they take and the few number of staff members that he has as well that are helping to maintain all of our district facilities. so we had some really great conversations on how to help him streamline his process. we were actually hoping that there would be an opportunity,

superintendent, for some of david's key staff to talk to the principals at some point. that's something we used to do. maybe in particular some of the new principals, walking them through the process to get work orders completed, to think about how they allocate space and consolidate space for non profits. and permitting, because we think it would be really helpful to have that. thank you. >> thank you. i will now recess -- did you have something to say? i will now recess the regular meeting since the board will be going into closed session. okay,

>> we'll presume the regular meeting. i now resume the regular meeting of the board. and this is the read out of closed session of june 24, 2014. public employment, the board by vote of six is, one accept, approved the krablth of one assistant principal and one program administrator. other informational items posted on the agenda is staff report [inaudible]. this meeting is adjourned. thank

>> hi. i am cory with san francisco and we're doing stay safe and we're going to talk about what shelter in place or safe enough to stay in your home means. we're here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco and joined by carla, the deputy director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why it's important to san francisco. >> as you know the bay area as

63% chance of having a major earthquake and it's serious and going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in san francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this mean for us? part of what it means is that potentially 25% of san francisco's building stock will be uninhibit tabl and people can't stay in their homes after an earthquake. they may have to go to shelters or leave entirely and we don't want that to happen. >> we want a building stock to encourage them to stay in the homes and encourage them to stay and not relocate to other locations and shelters. >> that's right so that means the housing needs to be safe enough to stay and we have been

focused in trying to define what that means and you as a former building official knows better than anybody the code says if an earthquake happens it won't kill you but doesn't necessarily say that can you stay in your home and we set out to define what that might mean and you know because you built this house we're in now and this shows what it's like to be in a place safe enough to stay. it's not going to be perfect. there maybe cracks in the walls and not have gas or electricity within a while but can you essentially camp out within your unit. what's it going to take to get the housing stock up to this standard? we spent time talking about this and one of the building types we talk about

was soft story buildings and the ground floor is vulnerable because there are openings for garages or windows and during the earthquake we saw in the marina they went right over and those are -- >> very vulnerable buildings. >> very and there are a lot of apartment buildings in san that that are like that. >> and time to. >> >> retrofit the buildings so people can stay in them after the earthquake. >> what do they need? do they need information? do they need incentives? mandates? >> that's a good question. i think it starts with information. people think that new buildings are earthquake proof and don't understand the performance the building will have so we want a transparent

of letting people know is my building going to be safe in it after an earthquake? is my building so dangers i should be afraid of being injured? so developing a ranking system for buildings would be very important and i think for some of the larger apartment buildings that are soft story we need a mandatory program to fix the buildings, not over night and not without financial help or incentive, but a phased program over time that is reasonable so we can fix those buildings, and for the smaller soft story buildings and especially in san francisco and the houses over garages we need information and incentives and coaxing the people along and each of the owners want their house to be safe enough. >> we want the system and not just mandate everybody. >> that's right.

>> i hear about people talking about this concept of resiliency. as you're fixing your knowledge you're adding to the city wide resiliency. >> >> what does that mean? >> that's a great question. what spur has done is look at that in terms of recovery and in new orleans with katrina and lost many of the people, hasn't recovered the building stock. it's not a good situation. i think we can agree and in san we want to rebuild well and quickly after a major disaster so we have defined what that means for our life lines. how do we need the gasolines to perform and water perform after an earthquake and the building stock as well, so we have the goal of 95% of our homes to be ready for shelter in place

after a major earthquake, and that way people can stay within the city. we don't lose our work force. we don't lose the people that make san francisco so special. we keep everybody here and that allow us to recover our economy, and everything because it's so interdependent. >> so that is a difficult goal but i think we can achieve it over the long time so thank you very much for hosting us and hosting this great exhibit, and thank you very much for joining (music) >> herb theatre,open rehearsal. listen to the rehearsal. i think it is fun for them,

they see our work process, our discussions, the decisions we make. it is good for us. we kind of behavior little bit when we have people in the audience. msk (music) >> we are rehearsing for our most expensive tour; plus two concerts here. we are proud that the growth of the orchestra, and how it is expanded and it is being accepted. my ambition when i came on as music director here -- it was evident we needed absolutely excellent work. also evident to me that i thought everyone should know that. this was my purpose. and after we opened, which was a spectacular opening concert about five weeks

after that the economy completely crashed. my plan -- and i'm absolutely dogmatic about my plans --were delayed slightly. i would say that in this very difficult timefor the arts and everyone, especially the arts, it's phenomenal how new century has grown where many unfortunate organizations have stopped. during this period we got ourselves on national radio presence; we started touring, releasing cds, a dvd. we continue to tour. reputation grows and grows and grows and it has never stopped going forward. msk(music)

>> the bay area knows the orchestra. you maybe take things for granted a little bit. that is simply not the case will go on the road. the audiences go crazy. they don't see vitality like this on stage. we are capable of conveying joy when we play. msk(music) >> any performance that we do, that a program, that will be something on the program that you haven't heard before. string orchestra repertoire is pretty small. i used to be boxed into small repertoire. i kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. if you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson;

fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. is our gift. msk(music) >> and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. the most challenging of all. string orchestra work. 23 solo instrument, no violin section, now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. the challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off.

i can't tell you how aware i am of the audience. not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. i have been doing this for a long time. i kind of make them feel what i want them to feel. there is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note. and that is our encore on tour. by the way. i am proud to play it, we are from san francisco. we are going to play that piece no matter where we are.
