[ [ inaudible ] holding a number of trainings of personnel -- to go through that at the eoc. so finance and admin can continue to participate and related to el nino specifically, we are notifying all departments that because of the gradual or marathon nature of el nino we're activating all the time keeping codes in an automated way, as well as in the accounting system. so your cfos will get messaging on this, so that they can calmly practice it before the storms come underway. if it doesn't come to pass at least they have a chance to practice with it. >> excellent, thank you, todd. any other announcements? yes,

tom? >> last year -- actually this year because of the delay of the grants we have $200,000, chinatown for outreach. we have additional with two more districts we're going to do another $100,000 for each district. one is western edition and one bay and hopefully we have enough people to outreach for the public to learn how to prepare for the seismic safety. >> thank you. anything else? any public comment? october is a very busy month. 26th anniversary of loma prieta as the mayor mentioned and shake-up is in october. if you haven't signed up for it

yet, please do. fleet week, we're going to have a lot of things going on in san francisco. and again, i thank you all for being here today. be safe, and thank you all you also for your partnership in helping us to be better prepared and planned. thank you.

>> 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 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 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. >> 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 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 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 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 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 '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

>> when the new california academy of sciences opened in 2008, it quickly became one of the top tourist magnets in the city. part of the cal academies' astronomical success is the weekly nightlife party. >> i am joined by helen, who is here to school me on all the nocturnal activities that are getting ready to take place here. tell us a little about what we can expect to see at nightlife. >> we open up the doors every thursday night at the california academy of sciences. there are certain things you can see every week you can go to the museum, visit the planetarium, and we bring in bars and a deejay or band. it is a different feel from during the day, something different every week. tonight , we have beer and music. -- tonight we have great beer and music.

it is beer week. we have a dozen local brewers in african hall. we have a deejays to set up throughout the museum and a live performance at 9:00 p.m. tonight. >> what has been your favorite part as a participant or as an observer? >> my favorite part is to walk around the aquarium in to see people with a drink in their hands, getting to know maybe somebody new, may be looking for a day, or chatting with friends. there jellyfish. i mean, they are beautiful. >> the culmination of the animals. >> it is very impressive. we do not have this at home. >> tell us a little about some of the spider's we see here on display. >> at the california academy of sciences, there is a very large collection of preserved and live specimens, which are the evidence about evolution. we have the assassin spiders,

which are spiders that exclusively kill and eat other spiders. they are under the microscope here. research done and the california academy's i rhinology lab suggests that the assassin spiders have been doing this for over 150 million years. this glassed in room is a real scientific laboratory, and the people in that room are preparing specimens of vertebrate, that is mammals and birds. the way they do this is to remove the skin, sew it together in a relatively lifelike pose, and ensure that it does not decompose. >> i am a really big class actress fan, so i am here to see them, and beer week. >> i wanted to learn something

and have fun. >> i always enjoy it. i am not all is well -- always working as i am tonight. sometimes i come to enjoy the music and to dance. ♪ >> culturewire covers the arts in san francisco, and one of my favorite culture artists is here tonight. jason, thank you for being on culturewire. tell us about some of your posters that we have here today. >> most of the posters here are four specific shows or tours. i am hired by the bands or the venue. >> what is the inspiration behind these posters? >> no, disease of the related to the bay and, of course. music -- it is related to the band, of course the musical content or isn't related to the bed. album covers can come from anywhere. ♪

>>ite item 1, ovlose present. compose absent. xhigdser cohen, present. commissioner kim, present. commissioner mar, absent we have a quorum >> great, let's go to our consent calendar. >> consent calendar item 2-3 are considered routine, staff isn't planning to present on these items. if a member objects any consent iletm may be removed and crrbed separately. >> we have minutes and report. any comments or questions or changes to the minutes? okay, see none we'll go to public comment on item 2 and 3. >> [inaudible] >> isn't on the item today. we

your representative in sacramento. there are several new items to add to the matrix mostly coming from introduction of bills in the special session. however, the first bill i would like to highlight, ab 779, dealwise elimination of level of service as a measure in the environmental process and elim namesinates agency responsible for [inaudible] no longer have to track the level of service. the bill was amended lailt in the process and has not been herds. it was set for commit a but the author pulled the bill. this will be a bill that is available in jan unless it pops up in a essential session but we wanted to get on record in support of this measure. it is consistent with long standing policy and believe it will be coming back

in january and will make a strong push for it. the other measures i want to highlight are bills that are extraordinary session measures and that is why they are coming so late. several were introduced in late july and in mid-august. there are 4 bills. they go by the gnomeing claicher x 1. [inaudible] 7. mr. chew, ab 8 and senator hills sb 8 and senator alan sbfore, those are 4 bills, 2 of which are identical to the other 2 in the other house. strong effort by the california transit association to put transit discussion into special session. these measures do it 2 different ways even though there are 4 bills. one

instance the measures seek to increase thumount of green house gas reduction finds, in other words cap and trade auction revenues into transit increasing current programs there and the other 2 bills also address transtd funding by trying to increase the level of the sales tax collected on diesel which is the foundational source for state transit assistance program. in my view the latter one is a tax increase and therefore more difficult to achieve but none the less, the administration has taken a queue from the introduction of these bill squz the press conferences conducted around the state by the office of had bills to actually feed into their transportation program increases in trazt which was unexpected. they were resistabout but now that the final package is out they have funding in them. we

recommend support in those 4 measures and i would like to highlight 3 bills we recommend opposing positions on. abx 16, the issue there is it requires more funding dedicated to rule counties and throughout this year as green house gas reduction fund bills have come through the process ones that tend to isolate or favor other programmatic wrairias or regions of the state, we recommended that you oppose that and keep it as wide open as possible so you can be competitive in these grants and recommend oppose on that measure >> how does it appear that has a lot of support? >> no, it does not at this point in time but you never know as we get close to the end of special session dish cushion discussions ensue

>> [inaudible] >> abx 16. i don't have the page number, it is toward the very end >> is this different from ab 6 which provides no further bonds- >> correct. it more of a isolation and dedication to rule communities of the arkz grants rather than sebd sepding to other programs it is locking out urban areas from having access to those funds >> this is for high speed? >> no, that is >> this is different. soree >> it is cap and trade action revenue >> got it >> the last abx 113 by assembly member [inaudible] would repurpose the cap and trade revenues that now go for affordable housing and other programs that have been successful into high ways it isn't running into success and

would have problems even if approved meetic the nexus challenge in the view of many folks in sacramento so it is a exercise >> that is doa as well? >> correct. abx 117 is a different way of approaching taking green house-this would take the green house gas reduction fund monies dedicated to the high speed rail project and instead transfer nem to state high way maintenance. very diligent folks in the republican caucuses. the last meser sb 16 does the same thing. takes green house gas reduction funds [inaudible] >> lot of success with the high way program back in theizeen how administration >> those represent changes for action. i have a few other

things if you would like me to update you on. >> i have 2 questions if that is okay. i just want to ask quickly since i asked about ab 6 and you brought up ab 6 , x. if you can give a update on that. i know our official position is opposing this measure. >> it is not a threat to move this year. it would car eover potentially as a 2 year bill next year because it did not pass-it didn't meet the deadline this year so could be available in january >> is this something we expect to gain grounds or movement in sacramento? >> no >> the second question because you brought up cap and trade is

ab 23. which is on the effective date of cap and trade >> this is the same issue in terms of where it stands. it failed to meet deadlines and could be taken up in january but not likely to move and don't think there is support for it. >> [inaudible] of the documented it provided to us. ab 2 is author is [inaudible] committee revisalization authority. the intents is provide for community revitalization authority [inaudible] we vaindication we are watching it. can you talk to me more about what is the temperature for this particular measure. >> it has been moving right through the process. there has

been a strong interest in tax increment financing, enhance the ifd's parallel to this and think it has a good chance to get to the governor. i don't know his attitude on further expanding ifd. >> that leads me to my next question. i think there is a item that is-i think it is tony atcons, ab 313 that also deals with addressing the elimination of the dwelling units. can you give me a-- >> pardon me for interrupting. it is advised that the enhanced ifd law need today have a separation between the entity that governs the plan and the

entity that is in charge of collecting voluntarily the revenues so what mrs. atcons bill does is it seeks that separation. it is thought by the original proponent of the program to be a enhancement and make it more workable. >> yet dollar is no indication on the governors feeling? >> no but i'm crft the speaker is confident. i talked to her and feels she has a fair chance. she snpt changing the dynamics it is making it more [inaudible] from post approval actions by folks who may want to challenge it. >> i want to go back too ab 35, assembly men chew legislation. increase tax credit for low income housing and allocation by additional 300 million. i

[inaudible] support position. the senate second reading, what does that mean? >> that means luck lael or forninately it passed out of propeation so think it has steam moving forward >> are there other folks that are helping move this forward? >> [inaudible] some transportation agencies, i caents tell you one >> is there opposition against this? >> if is it is modest. there detaurmtinant is the department of finance because it allows a higher level of debt to be available for this purpose and it seems to in my view seems to be meet wg success. >> you may or may not know how

toanswer this nex queckz but how would we apply this? if this passes how do we apply this additional 300 million dh dollars to san francisco? >> it allows the state wide amount available through housing programs to be increased and so it is through your normal grants programs at the state level so you just have more money available. >> okay. ab 61 deals with bill expanded authority that now is existing for local authorities to grant transit agencies the right to stop and pick up passengers to also apply to shuttle service vehicles. this reminds me of our long hearing with [inaudible] and addressing the shutting buses. one of the things i recall the most is mta acknowledged their hands were tied and it was a state law that superseded how much could bow charged for any entity that

wants to use the loading zones. is this legislation going to correct that or amend it? >> i am not following this one very closely. >> we have it as a watch position and then it says the status assembly 2 year, what does mean >> that means it missed all the deadlines and won't be available until you take it up in january. >> do you know the intent or anything behind why this looks like coming from southern california that is sponsoring this. >> he told me he read a story after he got elected and thought he would jump into thisue and try to put something into play. >> this is a new member is that why are l the deadlines? >> perhaps it could have brin resist toons the naich thorf bill >> is there support?

>> there was support on record at the committee, but not enough to move the bill along >> were our elected representatives of san francisco supportive of this bill? >> i don't know >> can you check for me and report back >> i will. >> thank you. i think my last question has to do with ab 744. proposed by chow. this bill would eliminate minimum parking requirements for developments near major transit stops on senior or special need housing. it is indicating our city planning staff is supportive of this legislation. i wonder if you can expand a little about -expand more on assembly bill 744. >> other than-no i can't.

>> okay. we are-you made a recommendation of support because of our planning departments recommendation? okay, i'll chick with the planning department. mr. chair i have no further questions. >> we doknow that ab 744 passed assembly sknr going through the senate, correct? >> correct, >> that is likely to pass? >> yes. >> given deliberation has happened on it. >> this measure did not bring significant opposition. i remember sitting through the hearing listening to it and it passed readily so expect it to move ahead. >> great. thank you.

colleagues any other questions on the docket? let's go to public comment. >> [inaudible] >> [inaudible] >> thank you. >> would you like oo quick brofeing on the governors

proposal? i received the language monday afternoon and gown through quickly. i can give you a sketch of what it looks like. >> okay. >> generally it is going to raise about 3.6 billion dollars on a ongoing basis and 1.6 will go to cal transfor maintenance, [inaudible] bridge repair and shop program as well as 200 million dollars for high priority corridors. the local nob mob will receive a like amount but distributed different lay. in terms of local repair unds funds that is 1.15 billion split on normal al county and city roadway distribution formial oz. there is no low carbon program which is 100 million dollars dedicate today complete streets and done in conjunction with road repair or preservation projecs. there

is a 250 million dollar local partnership for self help counties that exist or come into being in the next couple election cycles and last, they provided 400 million for rail and transits grants through moving green house gas reduction funds auction revenues to the 2 programs that are funded here. the revenues roughly there is a fixed to the annual adjustment that we talked about from time to time of the [inaudible] tax that was a remnants from the old tax. that will result in about a 6 or 7 couldn't immediate increase in gas taxes. there is 11 cent per gallon in diesel tax, 6 fifen dollar per vehicle road user charge collected just like the registration fee is and there is a 1 time up front

repayment of the last of othe outstanding loans from the general fund back to transportation programs so that is pretty much the overview of -there are other elements. they proposed in their lajerage wn toolg provide for advanced mitigation praim to help clear projects with a more certainty path of get thg project through environmental process because they know what mitigation is required at the end in terms of provided fundings for land bank. there is expansion of existing program that provides a stafftory exemption from sequa for safety and minor road repair projects within the existing footprint of the existing right of way. in addition, the bill also includes extension of p 3 law that we supported from time to time. that is wrapped into one significant bill and that is

going be the center piece of discussion for the rest of the week. t thais it in a nut shell >> that could be approved in the session? >> crecktd, special session running concurrentsry to the regular session and it ends on foy day but can be extended. bills that raise taxes or have urnsh clauss become effective immediately otherwise any other bills attached in special session thise package become affective 90 days. >> including the governors proposal? >> the governors proposal because it has tax increases in it would be effective immediately. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you >> colleagues any other questions for mr. watts? we have public comment open and it is still open and haven't closed it yet.

>> i was listening to you quite intently. these are some of the bills being deliberated in sacramento and think as i listen to them on caps and on how our roads are going be repaired, we in san francisco need to look at our congestion and our increase of the carbon footprint we cannot take lightly. so, i understand it is good to have some questions and i understand that sometimes we can be a little bit cynical when certain type of legislation is put in by maybe small counties and we may be a city and county of san francisco with a 9 billion dollar budget and we do have supervisors who are supposed to represent

certain districts and address quality of life issues but i can tell you very clearly in the south east sector there is much to be done and right now whether we like it or not, our roads are being destroyed in the southeast sectors there are thousands and thousands of vehicles with contaminated dirt [inaudible] with the san francisco county transportation authority doesn't pay attention to because we have to think about cumulative pollution and how to repair the roads, when will the roads be repaired and keep bragging they will build 30 thousand units in that area but are we addressing quality of life issues when it come tooz the environment especially

res putory diseases, cancer, heart problems and so on and so forth. thank you very much. >> thank you. okay. >> good morning. chair avalos [inaudible] i just wanted to thank the governor for his leadership and recognize the delegation and hard work orphthe inlegislature in bringing the revenue proposal of transportation to this point. early in the session there was a clear indication this would be a yoor we would address the high way back log which is very sig cnts, about 60 bill wn dollars mptd san francisco was consist nlt working with like jurisdictions on alad voicateding for transit to be part of the conversation [inaudible] together with his colleagues with transit operators and cities to aed voicate for transit, bike,

complete street and vision zeeree investments. i believe this is a great development and comprehensive approach and have a few commentss here and there but hope this gets across the finish line with our l our support. thank you. >> thank you. okay, so we'll close public comment and this is just-there is a action item? colleagues we have a motion? >> so moved >> second. >> motion fraumg supervisor kim and seconded by commissioner cohen and take that without objection. >> item 4, commissioner avalos, aye. commissioner campos, aye. commissioner cohen, aye. commissioner kim, aye. commissioner mar, absent. the item passes. >> great, thank you. before we go it had next item commissioner mar isn't able to attend today due to family

emergency. would like to have a motion to excuse him. motion by campos and second by commissioner cohen. >> item 5, executing a funding agreement with bay area rapid transtd for 3 year peerds in thumount not to exseat 406, thousand for san francisco bart travel and authorize to negotiate agreement terms and conditions. this is is a ookz item >> senior planner with transportation authority to present the item which begins on page 63. the item focuses on your authorization to execute a funding agreement with bart up to 406 thousand to work on a pilot program we have come up with. that is the focus othf item but we want to

take the opportunity to tell you more about the pilot program itself. it is interesting consopet and want to share the overview if you have questions or comments rchltd we call the pilot tentatively the san francisco bart travel smart rewards program. we'll work on developing a new name. the pilot will be focused on trying to address peek congestion on bart using travel incentives. as many are aware we have a very extreme condition on bart now with our employment growth in san francisco. we have seen very steep ridership increase particularly as you can see from this graphic the embarcadero and monk montgomery station the most. this illustrates the ridership growth for you all just looking

at 2012 to 2014 there is about a 20 percent growth in the transbay market in particularment this graphic shares a little about the crowding that resulted in. barts standsered for crane occupancy is 107 passengers per vehicle. some of the peek lotes are up to 140. we are inl conversation with bart and the other regional agencies about how we address this crowding and as i'm sure you are aware there a number of different efforts. there is the transbay study. bart has train cars coming on line in 2017 that are more capacious and reduce the crowding by providing more standsing room however in the shorter term, the remainder of this year and next year and to the following we don'ts have a short term

solution. we came across a pilot program that was done in singapore and this will replicate. it was called the singapore rewards program and this is a screen shot of that portal where the transit riders log into the portal, provide transit card number and they get points-all their transit travel but they goat greater points for traveling off peek period. they accumiate ports and provided with rewards and can cash out their points. in their case they provided them with transit value but their card can we used to make purchase. you can cash out or play a came game. this caused a 7-9 percent decrease in peak paerd congestion. that is a

significant margin which is relative to other strategies we have available. we were interested to see if we can replicate this in the bay area. just chted to share a little about the scrope we have in mind. we want to replicate the singapore program. what we'll do is we already have a partnership with bart want to conform if objectives what we are tritoog achieve. at this point we are look ing at train crowding. there was a software program that they look at licensing and market that to bart rider squz request they sign up and offer incentives. we also envision a employer outreach component and that involves working with employers in case there are issues they have with respect to allowing their employees more flexibility. we have done 2 workshops with the san francisco chamber of commerce

where we invited employers to come in and give resources for them. that will be a component. we are hoping to launch the pilot next spring and weual expect it to run for about 6 months and do an evaluation where we look at a range of metrixes particularly the cost effectiveness and whether it improved ridership ovall, reduced crowding. we'll look at a couple different metrix [inaudible] then we make a determination where to go from there. there are lot of potential application squz if it is successful we can see this to grow . in the netherlands this is a screen shot of their program where they have daungals they keep in the vehicle jz receive points traveling in off peek periods and created a partnership with

shell to provide frunds the incentives. there are interesting directions we can goin. we see it as a interesting pilot to explore and look forward to hearing your thoughts and questions and just to wrap up for this item all we are looking for is the authorization to execute that funding agreement with bart >> commissioner campos has a question but before him my biggest question is what is the experience we had so far in doing outreach to bart riders and leping to change behavior? do we have something in the past we have done that will show this will be a successful pilot in terms of reaching people we need to reach? >> i think there is outreach to bart riders but i don't think to this scale and nothing that i'm aware of with specific provision of incentive combined with tracking behavior. we ask people to sign up with their

clipper carbds and see if they respainds it the incentives. that is why we view this as a pilot because it is testing a snu concept, however givethen experience in singapore and similar programs in the netherlands it looks like there is a good track record that allows us to expect success. there are challenges, one being the peak is very spread. we have been looking at the data and it is a pretty crowded for a large window of time so that is a challenge but wile design the program to address that the best we can. >> how does it work? how does the software? >> the software was created by urban engine and based out of pala alto where google and stan ford people. you sign up with the clipper carbd and the program will be monitoring that information and looking for

those who are most responsive to the incentives and continue to provide them with opportunities to win additional rewards. again, there is a algorithm built into the software that make as aermidation as to the level of incentive dependent on the travel pattern squz how responsive they have been in the past. >> thank you >> okay. no other questions from the committee? mrs. [inaudible] >> if i can quickly outline the funding for this program for the total cost is about 950 thousand dollars of which 500 thousand is provided by the federal high way administration. the transportation authority work wg bart submitted a application and successful achieve thg funding from shwa. bart is contributing 400 thousand dollars and will see a request

for [inaudible] >> thank you. open up the item for public comment. any member of the public like to comment? >> [inaudible] >> thank you. we'll close public comment and colleagues can we approve this item? okay, we'll take that same

house, same call. so done. our next item please >> item 6 introduction of new items. >> colleagues any new items or new issues to bring up? public comment is open on this item and seeing no member of the public--not just yet. it will be the next one. general public comment is now closed and our next item is general public comment. >> yes. [inaudible]

>> we can't take about campaign issues at the committee. thaupg very much. any other member of the public like to comment? seeing none we'll close. >> item 8, adjournment >> we are adjourned. thank you.

>> >> please silence any devices that may sound off during the proceedings. and when speaking before the commission, if you care to, do state your name for the record. i'd like to call roll at this time. commissioner president fong commissioner wu commissioner antonini commissioner hillis commissioner moore and commissioner richards we do expect commissioner johnson to arrive commissioners, the first item on your agenda is for continuance under our consent calendar for the items west portal is continued indefinitely and that comes from the brlg and item
