>> yaerth preparedness is a way of life in san francisco san francisco we hope the new law requiring the upgrades is soft story building will help keep residents safe and sound. so bill tell me about the soft story building program what is it >> it's a program the mayor signed into law a year and a half ago the whole idea was to help homeowners strengthen buildings so they wouldn't collapse. >> does the soft story program apply to all buildings. >> it only applies to buildings built in a timeframe of 1978 and earlier it's aimed at wood framed building 3 or more

stories and 5 are more units but the openings at the garage level and the street level are not supported in many buildings without the support in a major earthquake the professionals sent them to flatten and many are under rent control so everybody's advantage to do the work and make sure they're protecting their investments and tenants. >> nos have gone out to have thousand owners but fewer one one third have respondent and thousand might miss an important deadline in december let's talk worse case scenario. >> so first soft story walls the building will collapse and be a total loss. >> can you talk about the

sfrelg in the retrofit. >> you want to think of this building like a rubber abandon in the upper 3 floors are a rid i do box and the earthquake the garage tends to really over the first floor is a very tough but flexible e flexible rubber abandon you would not drive the forces to the upper force so it goes into the plywood or steel frame. >> so here we are inside a soft story building can we talk about the kinds of repairs property owners might expect and it's a simple process we try to keep it that way so what's involved whether you install plywood to make a wall and cover it with the gossiping so many stellar it

adds underneath e flexibility so during the earthquake you'll get movement but not collapse it gets strengthened more when we go to the doorway to the steel frame to support the upper floor. >> so potentially the wood and steel that sound like a straightforward process takes our odds of collapse from one in 4 to one in thirty. >> that's exactly right we're hoping people will move quickly and make this happen. >> great let's take a look at. >> so let's talk extremely frame talk about that. >> we have a extremely frame there are two of those and go up to the lower floor and a beam that goes 0 across that forms this it's a stiffer and stronger so during the quarter the upper

floor won't clarion and according the engineers and contractors it could be done in two weeks time easy. >> if you're a property owner with questions about the soft story retrofit program signs up to this on august 11th from 3 to 5 at the main public library and the dbi staff will be there the deadline for applications t is september 15th. for more information >> good evening and welcome to the regular meeting of the snifks once in a while we'll begin by roll. >> commissioner renne.

commissioner hayon. commissioner andrews is excised we're expecting commissioner keane mom ring with the harmonies of liberty; the public comment this is not appearing on the agenda. >> good evening chair patrick i'm here as a private citizen i'd like to ask the gentleman to distribute the 5 copies for the commissioners leave one for commissioner keane and commissioner andrews that's a formal complaint of a statement of incapable violations by sunshine task force member

david. was submitted to the clerk of the board of supervisors this morning and to mr. chad field mr. syncountryside. mr. pill paul has no business coming before you and holding himself out as an agent of the task force. or an ambassador for the task force during the deliberations of sunshine referrals sent to you for enforcement. i believe it's your responsibility commissioner andrews that when mr. pill paul comes up to the microphone and introduces himself david pill paul member of the sunshine task force and sales to mention he's

speaking in his role as private citizen it's your responsibility commissioner andrews to immediately cut him off and rule him out of order. he's not permitted under the s i a to hold himself out as an agent of the task force and if at the continues i think it's your responsibility to cut him off and not wait until two hours into a hearing as you the on april 28th when you wait until two hours and 8 minutes into the hearing to inform him no one is soliciting our input mr. pill

paul. thank you. >> commissioners ray for san francisco of open government i've asked you to review the recording when members of the public raised the issue radz documents provided to the members of the commission some of the comments were inappropriate the sunshine ordinance which like it or not this ethnics has an obligation to enforce and requires it provides documents to the public how can we have a public meeting when you have documents and we don't know what they contain and so forth. my personal concerns about such indulgence is mr. sin tripod countryside is using his position to manipulate hearings

he determines in advance the desired outcome and presents evidence unquote unquote that will support of the outcome and omits evidence that will support of the outcome that will support excuse me. change the outcome a omits evidences that will not the public has a right to see documents in open or closed session not specifically prohibited from disclosure this ordinance has been in effect for a dozen years you can't tell me a person has specialized as the executive director didn't know the documents for your consideration have to be provided to the public unless there's a specific exemption. and yet we sat here that last meeting and had this ridiculous argument and there were

disparaging comments saying to the public do you think we're trying to pull something over yes, we do and in particular the executive director he decides the outcome let the city employee off the hook and stick it to say the complainant who's a citizen of the city and manipulates the session and hides the dproments the public so we cannot look at that and very specific works. now does he know he's suppose to provide the documents sure and his staff gets millions of dollars to handle those things properly and the simple fact you can't follow a law and i'm not getting paid for it ridiculous. you have an obligation to follow the law if you look at side executive director report iowa

do i see under sunshine every item has a description of what you've done that has nothing because you don't do anything >> i want to address the description of the agenda item 6. of course, there's many public records that were left out of the group that was sent to you. there are no public speakers on this item started in october of 2012 when i made a records request and gone through hearings 3 hearings before the task force and gone through all the litigation in which the superior court ruled i was in corners with the law and it's

been about a year and 15 months that's 15 meetings of ethnics that the issue raised whether to assert the attorney-client privilege what have we been doing but dealing with the issue have you even seen the withheld documents. the other point i want to make is that there's no really case pending right now. the superior court case is closed. the case now in the court of appeals has been argued and briefs filed we're waiting for the decision so it's he pending that there's nothing you or i can do to alter the progression

of the lawsuit in this court of appeals that kind of surprises me there is no appellant i was the petitioner that case was concluded the petitioner in the court of appeals is the ethnics. there's no defendant i'm the respondent. i am the respondent. so when you describe the commission in some way as a defendant that's been beaten up by some person in the city i think it's a little bit sad. and finally it baffles me the action you can take i'm on agenda 6 that's if i want to wave the privilege do that. i assume if you want to do other things that resolves it that will be something you can do.

thank you >> good evening, commissioners can i have the overhead, please. my name is john i'm here this evening to request that our staff your staff accept mine and other candidates running for the november ballot for ss e f c for public financing. i have given another example of another department that does a correct e check off list you don't so $0.35 that's my problem you're not fundamental and that's the real issue here when i applied for in my candidacy

with the ethnics and the file i was given misinformation and your department needs to do a complete check off list like another department of each candidate to come before the file to be more efficient please consider my request to accept my form s f e.c. dash 142a >> sir, can you pass that up the overhead is not working. >> i don't have the perm information this is a form from the elections department a check off list of everything you're supposed to do. >> what are you saying. >> i'm saying the department didn't do anything. >> you can use the microphone.

>> your dysfunctional department no check off list for all the items you have to do with the ethnics when you file if i had done this i wouldn't be here. and >> is it because you have to fill out certain forms. >> not only that they didn't tell me about the forms yes. >> are you now aware of the forms you need to fill out. >> yes. >> okay. >> but the due date you have a complete check off list that's another depended that's more fundamental and it gives that to the candidate when they apply so i'm asking not only for me but the other candidates thank you. >> good evening, commissioners and mr. sin country i'm hope

johnson with the task force. have been i'm here to speak on item 6 even though it was held over it is way at the end of the agenda that's coming close to 0 closed session i might not be able to stay so it would be nice to be in front of newer items i want to encourage you to hear this item in open session it's about public policy surrounding the sunshine ordinance and it's connection it's specification that things related to the sunshine ordinance are not falling under the television station attorney-client over and over their exempt and that's something that the public needs to hear especially in a time right now government is trying to be as private and secretary active as possible while we're
