grass-roots organic school community building exercise that we need to build, but i think we can help provide that. >> i would be certainly interested in looking at our school district folks. i feel that's something that should also happen from win the district is some of that community building that needs to happen because the one -- school pool is great but for parents that don't have access to internet or computers at home or a smartphone they're not going to figure out how to get families together for those that drive which there are many so it would be great to work with the school district to see what are home grown solutions that would work within the school s and the successful models that work and bringing them out to other schools with similar populations. commission fewer and then supervisor yee. >> sure i wanted to mention that the school board is considering amending their student assignment preferences
12:31 pm
to include neighborhood proximity attend area to be a third factor instead of the fourth factor. >> i am well aware of that. i have seen the media around that and i wasn't sure when it was going to be heard again. is it scheduled or moving forward? >> yes it is. so in april we're going to hear from a panel of experts around what the effect really on neighborhoods quite frankly of this process so we're getting a bunch of experts together and i think it's going to come before the vote of the full board later in the spring. >> supervisor yee. >> thanks for the presentation. just a quick thought. i am wondering if it's worth considering -- you know
12:32 pm
how sometimes when you're in one habit of doing something and it's hard to change those habits and then i forgot who mentioned but it's one of these things -- oh i walked there and it wasn't that bad and sometimes it takes a little motivation to get somebody to actually experience that and it's not a big deal and would it -- if you were to get like a bunch of -- those bands or whatever maybe the cheaper versions where they count the steps and just hand it out to all of the kids and make that a contest for the families walking to school. once they have a safe route would that work? >> we give out a lot of incentives. on rock and roll school day you may have seen
12:33 pm
them and they have the reflective things for the backpacks and things that they put on the backpacks that say safe routes to school and very popular and it's the week of april 20-24 and we have a incentive, a raffle to win an electric bike and that has gotten 100 sign ups and it's not even march yet but you're right the role of incentives with family is key both for the students and for the families and we're trying to offer for both populations. >> so i guess i am suggesting to move further not just having one prize, but i don't want to say fit bit but whatever -- there's cheap models and pe domsters or whatever they call
12:34 pm
them and give it to any kid. >> we could look into that but frankly it's a budget issue to come up with the -- are you saying for the entire school district? y. ? >> no, no, i understand it's a resource issue, but if you were to do a pilot in one or two schools and safe routes and good percentage of people you thought maybe could be walking but they're not and did this contest for instance in which -- whatever way you want to do it for the week how many steps did you take? and they sustained that habit -- >> right. >> -- as a pilot project and you could prove look at this we went from 30% to 30% walking. you could get more resources but it's not about doing the whole school district. no. >> i hear what you're saying
12:35 pm
and pilot in a couple of schools. we will definitely consider that. thank you. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you madam chair. just a brief comment. i want to thank the mta. we had a situation at john o'connell high school where there was a relocation or placement of an additional school on that campus and the mta was very responsive in addressing additional transportation needs with respect to bus routes and what not, and i would simply encourage you, and i am glad you're watching what is happening with the student assignment piece but it's not just the student assignment piece but also the program placement. if there are changes to programs in terms of the location of the programs they're often implications around the need to maybe change buses or
12:36 pm
add buses, so just encourage you to continue to monitor that. >> great. thank you. >> thank you. >> i have one follow up to the question earlier and the shuttle bus program. are there a lot of shuttle bus stops near the schools? do you have a sense of the number? >> i don't but i could put that together for you. >> they're very big and the drivers are above the ground and i am concerned and the elementary schools and the sight of line and the education we're doing with those drivers and actually i can't remember -- i know we just announced our large vehicle education can iric lum and those that work with the city and it's different in this process and will the shuttle program be in participating in
12:37 pm
that education program? >> i don't know but i will look into it. >> i think it's important and the shuttle drivers often driving large vehicles in the narrow streets get that education how to share the road as well. >> i agree. thank you. >> okay. so seeing no further comments i wanted to open up for public comment on this item so if you have any comments please do come up. >> good afternoon commissioners. i am family and will schools coordinator and work on the non infrastructure piece that darby talked about and one thing we have been trying to do is connect families to engineering proves. one of the things that you just talked about there are certain roads that don't qualify to be school zones and we think it's critical there's improvements centered around these areas. the schools are near the areas are usually bordering high injury corridors so we think it's important to be
12:38 pm
ambitious with the improvements and traffic calming. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other members of the public that would like to comment on this item? seeing none public comment is closed. [gavel] colleagues any closing comments? no. okay. great. i just wanted to thank again our departments for being here today. i look forward to the continuing dialogue and also the passage of vision zero resolution at the board of education but also really able to flush it out what it means at the school district and how the city can support the district in that work above and beyond the partnerships that have already been created but i think we want to continue ensuring that none of our kids are part of our data points and i just want to thank the staff. the passion is really clear and i just want to say from a policy makers'
12:39 pm
perspective it's so great to hear that our staff cares so deeply about the policies that you're pursuing and implementing on the ground so thank you for your passion that you bring to this work. it really matters a lot to our families and kids so thank you committee members. we have a number of hearing items that will be set for march, april, may but i encourage our colleagues to give ideas and call for hearings at well for the committee. mr. clerk are there any other items? >> well madam chair are we continuing this to the call of the chair? >> we can take a motion to continue if you would like it to come back this year. otherwise i will take a motion to file. >> i would think that -- i was
12:40 pm
thinking about another agenda item that is relate the which is the student crossing guard program. i don't know if it's going to be -- maybe it should be part of this but a separate item. >> [inaudible] >> okay. so why don't we take a motion to file. i hope this is an annual hearing at the select committee but why don't we entertain a motion to file. we have a file and we can do that without opposition. thank you mr. clerk. are there any other items? >> there are no more items madam chair. >> seeing none meeting is adjourned.

today we are going to talk about fire safety. we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. it's a wonderful display. a little house in the urban center exhibition center that shows what it's like in a home in san francisco after an earthquake. one of the major issues that we are going to face after earthquakes are fire hazard. we are happy to have the fire marshall join us today. >> thank you. my pleasure. >> we talk about the san francisco earthquake that was a fire that mostly devastated the city. how do we avoid that kind
12:42 pm
of problem. how can we reduce fire hazard? >> the construction was a lot different. we don't expect what we had then. we want to make sure with the gas heaters that the gas is shut off. >> if you shut it off you are going to have no hot water or heat. be careful not to shut it off unless you smell gas. >> absolutely because once you do shut it off you should have the utility company come in and turn it back on. here is a mock up of a gas hear the on a house. where would we find the gas meter? >> it should be in your garage. everyone should be familiar with where the gas meter is.
12:43 pm
>> one of the tools is a wrench, a crescent wrench. >> yes. the crescent wrench is good and this is a perfect example of how to have it so you can loosen it up and use it when you need it. >> okay. let's go inside to talk about fire safety. many of the issues here relate to fire, for example, we have a little smoke detector and i see you brought one here, a carbon monoxide smoke detector. >> this is a combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detector. they are required in single homes now and in apartment buildings. if gas appliance is not burning properly this will alert you
12:44 pm
before the fumes buildup and will affect you negatively. >> this is a battery powered? >> this is a battery powered and it has a 10 year battery life. a lot of times you may have one or the other. if you put in just a carbon monoxide detector, it's important to have one of these too. every house should have a fire extinguisher yes. >> one thing people expect to do when the power goes out after an earthquake about using candles. what would you recommend? >> if you have a battery operated candle would be better to use. this kind of a candle, you wouldn't want it in an area
12:45 pm
where it can cause a fire or aftershock that it doesn't rollover. you definitely want to have this in a non-combustible surface. >> now, here we have our stove. after a significant earthquake we expect that we may have gas disrupted and so without gas in your home how are you going to cook? >> well, i wouldn't recommend cooking inside of the house. you have to go outside and use a portable stove or something else. >> so it wouldn't be safe to use your fireplace to cook? >> not at first. you should
12:46 pm
check it by a professional first. >> outside should be a safe place to cook as long as you stay away from buildings and doors and windows. >> yes. that will be fine. >> here we have some alternative cooking areas. >> you can barbecue and if you have a regular propane bark could barbecue. >> thank you for joining us. and thanks for this terrific space that you have in this exhibition space and thanks for helping san francisco stay safe.
