sbay center become the exemplar of this vision zero of making sure that we have done all that we can to prevent that. so i had proposed that the vision zero theme meet with maria and her team and bruce and i would be there but especially with the commander who sits on the vision zero is signed to the vision zero campaign and task force so that we hear from the police what they are doing around the transbay hub and know that we are going to have something very important there. of course i would ask
1:01 am
chairman harper to ask if to distribute that report. i think that report would be very helpful for all of you. after meeting with the staff then, they will the vision zero team. the comments as vice-chair agd mentioned them. if sponsorship dollars are not sufficient, we should not award any bids and resubmit the rfp closer to completion of phase one and it could be more valuable and attractive at that time. i think all of you were dealing with the time
1:02 am
constraints already in this, i'm merely mentioning what was discussed at the cac. no. 2, component sponsorship is a great idea to sponsor the entire transit center and the bid such as a 10-year sponsorship, the cac was concerned with name changing on a regular basis as the sponsorship changes. according to him felt it loses dignity with the significant public infrastructure the last one is one that is i have suggested from the beginning that we explore as one of those exhibits on the park
1:03 am
working with the exploratoria. it has external exhibits and mayor lee has created the living innovations zone on market street showing these exhibits. i think what's important in these exhibits as spontaneously as people are circulating on the park they come and realize some of the significance of transportation. i would suggest the two themes they should focus on is transportation and history and what not and/or how current transportation works and no. 2, san francisco's historic regional role as a regional hub here. i would also just suggest that at least one exhibit should be on the politics of how as the
1:04 am
transit has created. that concludes my report. if you have any questions i will try to answer them. >> i do want to thank you for bringing vision zero. looking for large vehicles and the truck and association in and one of the concerns is the large vehicles that are making delivers to san francisco and i know the project brings a large
1:05 am
number of vehicles and i would ask that you tap into the communication and some of the ideas that are being discussed there and more importantly they are coming up with a video that anybody doing business with the city and hopefully you know the larger greater san francisco that all drivers should take that 1 hour video to understand what it is and the difficulties of getting around san francisco and making sure that safety is the highest priority and making sure that we reduce those fatalities. thank you for bringing that up. >> thank you. >> supervisor? i assume that they are an in a project that they will participate. one of the incidents involved in one of our subcontractors
1:06 am
with our fatality in south beach. i'm hoping the contractor will be participating in pedestrian and bike safety program. this has come up before and to director i would ask that they are working in part with this group and making sure that all drivers are trained and they view the video so if we can make that happen. item 7. public comment. not received a card from anyone but looks like mr. patrick is moving forward. >> thank you, i'm jim patrick with san francisco. i want to make a comment on
1:07 am
this proposal for the sponsorship. i believe there are several issues we need to look at. one we constructed this proposal we heard this morning that we are in events of one or the other. we have to sell a product. when we sell a posted note. we don't discriminate who we sell our product to and we have to watch so we are not placed in a can then resell the advertising value. he resells
1:08 am
it. or something like that. i don't know propose unless and we should extract as much value. i think it's for 10 years to rebid it and rather than being stuck with a negotiated settlement. thank you. that concludes members of the public that wanted to

>> 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
1:23 am
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
1:24 am
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
1:25 am
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
1:26 am
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
1:27 am
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
1:28 am
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
1:29 am
over the long time so thank you very much for hosting us and hosting this great exhibit, and thank you very much for joining training so good evening, everyone everyone happy new year. >> happy new year. >> my name is richard carranza i'm honored to serve at san francisco skwufth and on behalf of off all of us i extend a cordial welcome and begin this earning presentation and this earners ceremony with the presentation of colors by the gallow junior officer reserve training i'd like to ask everyone to stand for the pledge of allegiance and continue to stand for our national anthem. >> if you have taps we'll do
