fatality. >> the answer to move faster on the projects and everything i mentioned earlier about putting better processes in place and have the staff crossing over different agencies to be focused on better and improved delivery rather than to focus on the constraint that perhaps put on ourselves and face the mta over the years the answer i would give is that i want to get to a point we're moving much faster in the design and design legislation processes. >> this is my last question i apologize. i didn't get all the questions you know this came up recently with the bryant the employing appeal that the supervisors brought up last tuesday and ultimately 9
12:01 pm
residents wanted signal listed crosswalks because it is a freeway intrarn and it is recipe for injury or fatality i know there is resistance because the crosswalk was to support this building on sfmta partly opportunity so the project sponsor agreed to my for them but they agreed to pay for the signal listed crosswalk that took a little bit of pressure but the response from the sfmta was that normally it takes a minimum of 18 months to design it but the project sponsor is going to pay for the design and pay for other cost of installation it will take 12 months i wonder why the building is a ton of residents are concerned they've taken away the proposition appeal why does it
12:02 pm
take 12 months if someone else's is it paying for it and how can we get those projects done faster. >> i don't have the specific details on fulsome we can get back to you on that the signal contracts which are a big part of the vision zero delivery in is something we can take a hard look at. >> that will be great. thank you very much. >> thank you okay looks like we have no further comments or questions thank you for your presentation why not go to public comment on item number 5. >> before you speak sir, i want to remind you, your public comment is limited to items discussed on item 57 please if there is any members of the public that wants to speak on

12:05 pm
the environmental clearance and a lot of community process that is important but sometimes, we don't do a good job in the beginning and ending of the process but the smaller projects they are not particularly complicated projects and often not controversial projects but projects that save lives it's important we move forward quickly with them i see progress being made i want to acknowledge that and look forward to continuing to have this public communication with the agency and moving forward and with that madam chair, i ask we continue this to the call of the chair. >> thank you very much seeing that is seconded by supervisor kim and i move we send it to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> to the call of the chair. >> sorry to the call of the chair supervisor wiener wants

12:07 pm
revised ordinance to address the concerns that have been raise by gentleman broir you have copies of the amended ordinance and if based by the board of supervisors this amended ordinance would still be subject to just broirz state we're submitting this the package of that ordinance will comparisons of strengthen the city attorney's appeal before the ninth circuit that is the assistance for tenants under the ellis act to give the evict tenants a fighting chance to live in san francisco the current relocation assistance amazement's are simply too low and what it means when when your evicted it essentially leads to those tenants once eviction happens being forced out of the
12:08 pm
city before us the ordinance as amended makes the following changes one it caps the relocation assistance at $50,000 which before there was no cap and second it requires tenants to use the relocation assistance payment under replacement housing and moving costs or other costs to mitigate did negative impact on the tenants when faced with eviction and finally it specifics the method the controller uses to estimate the costs this is something the prior ordinance didn't do i want to make additional substituting the actual date of 2015 for the effective date on page 6 specifically the controller will use real facts for the calendar
12:09 pm
year instead of the most currency posting on page 8 reducing the accurate term quote tenants of the unit as of the date their landlord files the notice of intent to withdraw the rental unit unquote instead of tenants in a unit specifically the time within which relocation payments are made with the declaration and the prior amendment as silent within a reasonable period of time and that bay is on pages 10 through 11 and on page 11 lines through 23 that makes specifications the tenants will be paid the greener greater of the payment through section 37.9 a b.a.
12:10 pm
where it formally says is it incorrectly identified the tenants with the relocation payment on page 11 and page 12 respectfully ask for your support of amendments to the changes to take a look at the courts ruling and enhance our standing with the appeal before 9th circuit. >> thank you very much let's take public comment is there any public comment on item 4 if so come up two minutes to speak seeing none, public is closed is there a motion on this item supervisor campos. >> madam chair i'd like to if the committee can make a motion to amend along the lines i've outlined and once amended to move it forward.

12:12 pm
madam clerk, any other business before this committee? >> madam chair no further business. >> thank you very much this committee is closed >> hi. welcome to san francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban
12:13 pm
center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths. what do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i
12:14 pm
read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing. >> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain. i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day? >> yes. it happens when it's least convenient. when it happens people say we were lucky and when they don't. it's terrible timing. it's never a good time for an earthquake.
12:15 pm
>> but we are going to have one. >> how about the ground swallowing people into the ground? >> like the earth that collapsed? it's not like the tv shows. >> the earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but it's not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. >> it's not going anywhere. we are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the
12:16 pm
ocean is not real. >> southern california is moving north. it's coming up from the south to the north. >> you would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. >> for better or worse. >> yes. >> this is a tough question. >> those other ones weren't tough. >> this is a really easy challenge. are the smaller ones less stress? >> yes. the amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. >> i think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of
12:17 pm
magnitude earthquakes of 4.7. >> so small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future? >> not anyway that you can count on. >> i have heard that buildings in san francisco are on rollers and isolated? >> it's not true. it's a conventional foundation like almost all the circumstances buildings in san francisco. >> the trans-america was built way before. it's a pretty conventional foundation design. >> i have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. is there anything of value to that ? >> yes, if you are in your room. you should drop, cover
12:18 pm
and hold onto something. if you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. if you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, it's not a bad place to be. >> the reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. you are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. you are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. >> you want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. >> where can i buy a richter scale? >> mr. richter is selling it. we are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. they are not available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use the richter scale anymore. we
12:19 pm
use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ? >> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in
12:20 pm
'89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for >> you're watching quick bite, the show that has san francisco. ♪ ♪ ♪

>> we're here at one of the many food centric districts of san francisco the 18th street corridor which locals have affectionately dubbed the castro. a cross between castro and gastronomic. the bakery, pizza, and dolores park cafe, there is no end in sight for the mouth watering food options here. adding to the culinary delights is the family of business he which includes skylight creamery, skylight and the 18 raisin. >> skylight market has been here since 1940. it's been in the family since 1964. his father and uncle bought the market and ran it through sam taking it over in 1998. at that point sam revamped the market. he installed a kitchen in the center of the market and really made it a place where chefs
12:22 pm
look forward to come. he created community through food. so we designed our community as having three parts we like to draw as a triangle where it's comprised of our producers that make the food, our staff, those who sell it, and our guests who come and buy and eat the food. and we really feel that we wouldn't exist if it weren't for all three of those components who really support each other. and that's kind of what we work towards every day. >> valley creamery was opened in 2006. the two pastry chefs who started it, chris hoover and walker who is sam's wife, supplied all the pastries and bakeries for the market. they found a space on the block to do that and the ice cream kind of came as an afterthought. they realized the desire for ice cream and we now have lines
12:23 pm
around the corner. so, that's been a huge success. in 2008, sam started 18 reasons, which is our community and event space where we do five events a week all around the idea of bringling people closer to where the food comes from and closer to each other in that process. >> 18 reasons was started almost four years ago as an educational arm of their work. and we would have dinners and a few classes and we understood there what momentum that people wanted this type of engagement and education in a way that allowed for a more in-depth conversation. we grew and now we offer -- i think we had nine, we have a series where adults learned home cooking and we did a teacher training workshop where san francisco unified public school teachers came and learned to use cooking for the core standards. we range all over the place.
12:24 pm
we really want everyone to feel like they can be included in the conversation. a lot of organizations i think which say we're going to teach cooking or we're going to teach gardening, or we're going to get in the policy side of the food from conversation. we say all of that is connected and we want to provide a place that feels really community oriented where you can be interested in multiple of those things or one of those things and have an entree point to meet people. we want to build community and we're using food as a means to that end. >> we have a wonderful organization to be involved with obviously coming from buy right where really everyone is treated very much like family. coming into 18 reasons which even more community focused is such a treat. we have these events in the evening and we really try and bring people together. people come in in groups, meet friends that they didn't even know they had before. our whole set up is focused on communal table. you can sit across from someone
12:25 pm
and start a conversation. we're excited about that. >> i never worked in catering or food service before. it's been really fun learning about where things are coming from, where things are served from. >> it is getting really popular. she's a wonderful teacher and i think it is a perfect match for us. it is not about home cooking. it's really about how to facilitate your ease in the kitchen so you can just cook. >> i have always loved eating food. for me, i love that it brings me into contact with so many wonderful people. ultimately all of my work that i do intersects at the place where food and community is. classes or cooking dinner for someone or writing about food. it always come down to empowering people and giving them a wonderful experience. empower their want to be around people and all the values and reasons the commitment, community and places, we're offering a whole spectrum of
12:26 pm
offerings and other really wide range of places to show that good food is not only for wealthy people and they are super committed to accessibility and to giving people a glimpse of the beauty that really is available to all of us that sometimes we forget in our day to day running around. >> we have such a philosophical mission around bringing people together around food. it's so natural for me to come here. >> we want them to walk away feeling like they have the tools to make change in their lives. whether that change is voting on an issue in a way that they will really confident about, or that change is how to understand why it is important to support our small farmers. each class has a different purpose, but what we hope is that when people leave here they understand how to achieve that goal and feel that they
