political positions as a non-partisan body in situations i appreciate you putting this forward it is important and has huge impacts on the population i mean, i'll support it is a tricky one i wanted to note that especially seeing none, no other comments oh, commissioner maufas. >> i would like the author to consider alexander commissioners, if they'd like to be at you'll have to ask. >> i think everyone ongoing groovy ready for a vote and mr. haney ms. maufass ms. mendoza-mcdonnell dr. murase ms. norton ms. wynns

president fewer 7 i's. >> now standing board member's reports may we have a report from the buildings committee. >> thank you so we had two reports one was on the expansion of the water bottle station from nick that is going well, we're going to get more in our schools and the facilities local hiring program for career paul mccartney a light discussion about the opportunities our students will be receiving through the internship program to the career patrick's and - pathway that's slowly growing and nice to see. >> great could you have report

from the city and school elect committee i guess that's me (laughter) okay. we had a reports on the services for unaccompanied immigrant children and then we had a discussion on the cities policy for new enrollment due to increased community development we've learned that san francisco's population has been growing by 10 thousands residents a year for for o the last 10 and in 9040 we will be adopting so for the now residents this is an ongoing discussion so okay are there any other reports from board members? yes commissioner haney i'm not sure i have a report and

this is from personnel and labor >> oh, yeah. forgot that. >> (inaudible). >> is that okay and it's not agenda dis. >> standing committees right okay commissioner haney you're on. >> give me 5 votes (laughter) can i resubmit that (laughter) is it okay. >> yeah. >> okay. all right. we had a. >> i'm sorry, i waiting want a motion you need 5 votes (laughter) no do you want to read this okay so we had a meeting of the ad hoc labor committee that was our first meeting of the year i'm the chair of the committee

and the meeting it feels like a long time ago but it was last time i've not left since then and the one item that was on the agenda was the 2014-2015 hiring report actually, the majority of board was interest i won't say too much but i recommend you get a copy there's a lot of information some of the highlights were some certificate areas of focus and concern we did p have an increased number of resignations over this year more spots to fill and a lot of late resignations and some of the concerns and some of the drain over or on our hiring process obviously folks who might we might go after in the

process obviously those are picked up jobs if we're hiring in september we started the year with less vacancies but had concerns around the vacancies that exist as of today that was like 19 vacancies that exists have teachers we excused at length some of our efforts around attracting candidates and how we recruit eastern exists candidates there are 3 focuses of our h.r. department highlighted as priorities one was to shift to year round krout and diversely our sdraejz

we're in the process of setting another meeting i think a lot of what we explored we'll continue to go deeper and the second thing we've talked about the intermits so as i'm sure you're aware there's a huge challenge to fill the substitutes spots and schools have been reaching out we've heard about the streams that have been used and explored and also some in particular concerns around the proposal development and things that are taking teachers out of the classroom and doing a better job cooperating that and other strategies corporal so the foul wore to have h.r. through the superintendant come back with a

proposal and plan for the board to how we're going to address that and really make sure we don't have the intermit crisis on an ongoing basis members i saw commissioner maufas you have something to add you if i may commissioner haney the packet you have before you probably with the other commissioners that were not present they've received this but i really want to stress that information in there was just a small snip even though of all the information that i know the h.r. department has housed and has been presented before us so i would encourage the confirmations were not there to look forward to the mexico bring your attention in the h.r. depth we really asked for the full

compliment and complex breathed of information that house and that should be the babies where we start the conversation which was based on older meetings and again dr. murase was the first person on the committee i think we need a solid baseline of where the conversation begins and looked to higher he level questions it's imperfect for the commissioners that were not present and the h.r. department to be aware of thank you >> okay superintendent. >> yes. thank you to commissioners so i had a briefing of last times meeting i'm working with the staffer of

3 pages that came you're not going to get 3 pages but a plan. >> you couldn't ask for a ball park plan. >> that's not going to happen there's a plan for the staffing of substitutes which i will bring to the board didn't need board approval but i'll least you know in the final process and want to remind the browns board two years ago when we have the steven report we hired a partner to work all year on bringing information from the system the antiquated system we don't have that kind of american people fte so restructuring and pulling people off tasks like staffing our staff to pull that data so we'll be able to i'll

able to bring forward a recommendation how to address that as we go forward. >> commissioner maufas. >> i want to emphasize the crisis we're facing and i wanted to echo the story that the commissioner norton and president fewer relied in committee of a fifth grader assigned to a kindergarten classroom because there was a teacher shortage that is not acceptable it really, really not acceptable. >> i'm going to make a plea we're about to approach veterans day and thanksgiving please ask tour educators to come to work before those holidays we see historically a significant spike in absenteeism on those days so i'm going to ask you to keep kids fifth graders from being in

kindergartener classes please come to work. >> through the chair superintendant of president be to specific about the information is information they actually have which is so we have that - i wasn't going to reintensity the wheel if we have the information it was created for a reason didn't appear after the person left it's in our house and that should be the baseline of where we start. >> i want to make sure we're not assuming what we have and don't have i'll come back to the board. >> i appreciate that. >> interest so that was a long report on that committee okay so, now the board will now go

into closed session so i call a recess of regular meeting

>> 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
