4:04 pm
$25,000 to the cost housing where affordable housing there's no such thing as affordable housing mercy housing was 5 hundreds and 77 thousand so we all have an obligation to do this the right way i believe that seattle model maybe a lot nor beneficial to existing buildings than people think most building have a ventilation systems in the hallways. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment on item 2 seeing none, public comment is closed okay department of public health. >> well, thank you very much and i want to assure you that i'll continue to work with the

4:08 pm
chiu has joined us as the lead author of item 4 and president chiu called for the hearing president chiu. >> thank you, colleagues. i appreciate you hearing those two items and it's good to be here in land use without talking about short-term rentals i offered this to help build out our fiberoptic to limit the impacts on the residents and neighborhoods and traffic what is a fiberoptic in effect the backbone of the network fiber is to the network go what tire is the integrate. >> we've installed $40 million of fiber we've moved city hall and hundreds of the facilities away from the key lines from the private seeshthsd to a charger network how we eye hetch hetchy
4:09 pm
hydroelectrical powders to keep the lights on at city hall and the trollies returning before you i talk about the details i want to talk about connectivity once a policy will help is close your cities diagnoseal divide and too much members are not online quality services is not an openal lurk but it is 4e67 helpful in our city in the 21st century cities need access to high speed broadway just as access to water and roads and electrical are critical in the 20th century unfortunately, our country laugz
4:10 pm
behind countries of brood ban it helps to leverage the brood abandon services for folks in the city already we are having wifi in market street and 50 and public housing and 32 of our city's parks we can do better and need the infrastructure in place we could lease unused private connectivity to the private sector we talked about the department of technology and services to lease the unused capacity we bring in over $200,000 a year we need to do more and reinvest the revenues in our city's network i want to thank supervisor
4:11 pm
wiener if we're going to disabling dig up streets to install fiberoptic it requires the public and private developers to install the conduit for our students which will safe the department of technology the money not to dig up the streets again, our city will pay for the materials and labor required to install this additional conduit and one stimulate found we can save on to 20 and 25 percent justice with the dig once policy i introduced one ordinance and the biggest change in the substitute ordinance is that the details of the future installations through our dig ones policy like the specification and credential costs will be demonstrated by a
4:12 pm
dbi contractor with the assistance of the department of health will be working with equipment as well as with the utilities i have amendments i have left copies with the clerk somees varieties were concerned so i'm proposing an amendment on page 6 adding lines 21 through 23 to say that notice to d t is only needed more modern 9 hundred linear feet in average 6 st. i state you blocks thees elevator will be installing the conduit and d's t respond to the nose within 7 days to avoid
4:13 pm
detailing projects an is same page line 24 and 25 to make it clear that t d t will work with public works tiled define that they help are with the participation within 7 days i want to thank the city from the technology including mark and you current acting decorator and others to walk through the fiberoptic conduit with that, i'd like to invite up brian. >> hello supervisors i'm bryan with the department of technology i wanted to address both items today by giving me a little bit of context where we are with our connectivity strategy and the big ones into that
4:14 pm
and maybe even going beyond fiber strategy to point out that that strategy is part and parcel of the overall connectivity streaming which currently, the department of technology along with the mayor's office coit and in conversation with the puc and the planning department were working on a new italy ration of that it will appear one as part of the ic p plan the communists plan with the city and in more depth in a separate connectivity plan we'll be happy to talk about that and explain those proposals as they develop but just wanted to stress that fiber is the 63 key to connectivity
4:15 pm
scramble because all conversations conversion not only the voice data and conversations are all being carried open a president pro tem lightner and it's the backbone for wifi, networks for city businesses as well as the public as well as the channel for on the ground aggregated data it will create a apathy that supports the services big concept is simple we place the condition duty to replace the costs when it comes time to respect fiber ones the conduit is in place to explain it is p d
4:16 pm
c pipe usually two to four feet in diameter and subdivided into the cables in which fiber can be pulled in order to access the cunning conduit we'll need pull boxed to be placed periodically and that's how the conduit piece works i want to stress that this whole proposal rests on an existing structure that dpw hearsay done for coordinating the work through the committee and have an online system for right-of-way management it's called in vesting that's the
4:17 pm
municipal and private participate in that's a great that platform to cooperating the construction activities what this legislation does is it makes sure we don't miss opportunities and creates a rigorous application of criteria whether we participate in the interference or not and encourages us to do so at every opportunity and i think as supervisor chiu mentioned for our internal city needs striving to have a robust fiber network we have $140 million of fiber and this fiber connects office buildings and police departments and we're in the process of this year of connecting all of our public health department chaplains and
4:18 pm
facilities overtime to connecting connect all fire stationed so the additional conduit helps to have great resiliency we offer services for other institutions and so far it's in the health and education area we provide dark fiber to explain what it is basically, we install the fiber for the city and the third party puts the electronics on the fiber and the education for the medical institutions and other users that use super high band with it the capacity is only limited by the electronics we also as
4:19 pm
supervisor chiu pointed out we support the internet including the market street and the parks and city buildings like city hall and part of our connectivity strategy is to address how we use fiber to support projects designed to support of the equity and to explain a little bit more how this will work in practice basically, we're trying to get efficiency out of sharing open trenches and the efficiency will depend on the type of trench if we're in adding the communications to a trench including the electrically electric it is 9 to $10 a foot
4:20 pm
it's accommodating the conduit notes a separate trench it can be dug and the efficiency will be lost especially it triggers the restoration and so forth but in the critical areas we'll still consider pursuing that and again over time a continuous system of conduit will emerge that my recollection t - mitigae the need for contradiction that the numbers of years the conduit is in place we believe the proposed ordinance takes the correct approach by mitigating the technology and the flexibility to rent up gradually and take
4:21 pm
into account i've spoken about the electrical and communications versus water and sewer so both of the excavation to the existing dpw process and again that online system that rethey have is efficient and for private illustrates not subject to the same process it should help with the application process so just to touch open the issues we'll be addressing we'll be establishing a standard specification for the conduit the material and the frequency and the number of conduits and the constellation of the boxes
4:22 pm
we'll be creating a process for the dp to establish the criteria and the cost of the particular project relative to the budget con straight up and the sufficient alternative or to underground construction or poles legislation take into account the 9 hundred foot threshold for participation but if we need to increase that we'll tooshth that through the roll making process as well other issue the particular trench will create at risk given an anticipated future and again, it's the water and sewer location and we'll be again harmonizing with the right-of-way management
4:23 pm
system monitored by dpw and finally our proposal for producing the rules this will be a new type of pursue for dp but will meet with the public including the telecommunication industry prior to drafting the specifications and i'll mention including the other municipal pope folk in the public works we'll publish those for 45 days and have another public meeting to talk about the proposed rules in detail and all prior to the
4:24 pm
directors final rules for implementing the directives thank you. >> i have questions for technology this will implement questions for the department as well as thank you for that presentation i'm glad we're moving forward i think this is a long overdue issue i will be honest i don't think that legislation should have been necessary to get us here i think that we it's been indentsly frultd between pg&e and we're keeping things up and not laying a new conduit and i'll be blunt in my view it's part of the technology they
4:25 pm
should have been working and dpw should have been working together and it didn't require legislation although apparently we need to do that to make sure this happens it's frustrating to me i don't know how many millions and miles and miles of streets we completely dug up and recovered and i know they're not conduit underneath there so i definitely want to thank you, president chiu for bringing this forward i'm happy to co-sponsor it i have you know tied into this is my frustration i know that president chiu shares the amount the city's dark fiber is being leased out dwp should be doing more to get the dark fiber those researchers exist and it explicit seem like a lot is
4:26 pm
happening when you look at the connectivity of the city compared to other cities it's embarrassing our infrastructure doesn't compare well, to other cities amendment so i say all this in the context i know that d t will be issuing the registration and d t will have the discretion and i'll have question about the 9 linear feet and d t will there that and also to issue a lot of regulations that could potentially limit the unanimous of conduit authenticity laid and give the past track record i have concerns that d t may
4:27 pm
minimize the where its budget concerns or logical or onsite others departments are this and that problem and the automatic response well, if any departments obtains we'll not move forward and to me we need to think laying this anywhere where it's possible without teacher of the year ulcer up the streets can you talk about my concern expressed given the track record and explain why i shouldn't be concerned and in to the. >> well, i think one thing we've looked at the legislation we have not talked about it it's critical especially with the other your questions about the multiplees varieties it's in the secti
4:28 pm
section it puts a conversation on them to consider the infrastructure during they're planning as well as dpw there's an overarching that's a new edition to the legislation and i know it's on. >> on page. >> page 5 and i think it really makes the obligation of all the departments to include this this is an overarching thing and your question about where particular technical concerns will cause us to you know defer to other departments i think part of our focus is going to be to really challenge every assertion i've
4:29 pm
heard those we don't have those to connect with water and sewer if there's an emergency we'll dig up the fiber and will cause great construction and we'll have to repave the lanes instead of the trench. >> they're going to tell you urge you to have to replace the whole pavement i'm sorry to interrupt you by i work with all the departments i have a lot of respect for them but we see with the pedestrian safety improvements i can't count the number of that times one department tells another department iceberg to pay to move the entire you water this makes it economically unfeasible and have push back to every
4:30 pm
objection and everything that can be raised until it's escalated to dies on the vine i have a concern dp has not done this in the past i'm not trying to be critical but dp has mothers been pro-active even it would have been laid and we're going to hear the objections from other departments i hear them already will d t be aggressive and saying we need to find the solution to get the conduit laid it's not enough whatever department a says off i'm sorry, i see an obstacle. >> i can tell you
