this point my name is josh carlin. we hoped with a waterfront transportation assessment. we also help with his efforts in our role on this project was to set out some context in helping the team designed the survey that went up to northern waterfront tenets. as damaging, part of the rationale for this effort was to focus some attention on the northern waterfront were some of the efforts have focused further south. although some the context briefly here and this is really pulling from number of hesitation studies plans reports etc. that happened over the last 10 years or so. it's really just pulling it together to create a complete picture. the first one on the roadway there's been a

number of traffic issues documented, both right along the waterfront with congestion on the embarcadero. some documented intersection delay along the waterfront and anecdotal reports of just regular backups every single day. as you guys may be familiar with. then there's the regional and other city issues that affect this area. so the bottlenecks of the bridges. as well as all the congestion that peter and his team mentioned in soma and along the central waterfront. on the transit side of things this is a bit of a challenge area. there is along the northern waterfront the ferry building north, it that connection though it's coming is not quite there just yet between fisherman's wharf and couch and get all the way along the weight the waterfront. that is coming soon. on the bus side

of things, there are several lines that reach near the waterfront or pretty close but the service is not by any means complete. it is built everywhere so there's some challenges there. on the bike and pedestrian side of things, the city has identified some corridor that are responsible for a large number of pedestrian and bike injuries and fatalities in several of those corridor are attached to the waterfront were the embarcadero, south of the ferry building is one of those corridor. then, looking at bike and pedestrian injuries over the last between 20 weight and 2013 of five europe are not, what you can see is a few intersections we popout as important safety issues. the intersection of broadway and embarcadero, washington and the embarcadero and michigan and the

embarcadero. finally, dr. reports that, there are some issues that aren't necessarily documented in past studies that are ever present and that is some delivery in large vehicle access issues crossing was a major pedestrian and bike corridor to get into some of the waterfront facilities. these are some of the peers that were called out by port staff. then, finally, with events, again, the number of thence along the waterfront and cruise ship unloading and loading is a most an event, and with all those things, there is some congestion along the waterfront. so, there are some plants which will go over very quickly. the e line service should provide service from cal chen and combined with mtas plans for increase frequency on the f will see a pretty healthy bump in frequency in the northern part of the waterfront in the coming years as part of

moving forward in various other efforts. ferries, peter and his team talked about this a little bit. i know you guys have a big interest in water taxi issues and peter 15 coming online soon. it will help with some of that. then, on the bike and pedestrian side things not only the jefferson street pedestrian enhancements, but the embarcadero enhancement project are two major bike and pedestrian improvement along the waterfront. all that stuff is happening. i'll hand it off to darrell to talk livid about the survey and what we found is going on today. >>good evening, commissioners. and pres. adams. my name is joanne davis on the subconsultants two-on this project. we were asked by the port to help them to reach out to your attendance along the waterfront. he ranged from fisherman's wharf only to the

china basin. we assisted with the survey development and administered the northern one for transportation survey. we conducted interviews with tenants by phone and online and through e-mail. they have the option of either responding to the survey online or we did an in person or over the phone interview. we developed a database of about 266 tenants in about 40% of them responded to the survey. which is really pretty phenomenal for a survey that was 36 questions long. it was pretty in-depth. were pretty happy with those results. the port identified about 16 priority tenants and of those, 13 responded to the survey. this was an unrestricted survey. tenants were not required to answer every question, and more than

one person from an organization to respond to the survey. we were unable to view applicable responses based on impact such as number of employees or customers affected. the survey asked about tenant business, how employees get to work, how customers or clients get to their location and about deliveries. response were asked to assess the impact there's transportation issues have on their business. they raided suggestion improvements. it provided feedback and recommendations for other type of transportation permits they thought would be hopeful. overall tenants welcome the opportunity to give feedback. the really encouraged that they were asked anything about transportation and how it impacts their business. their

many pages of verbatim comments that we are still reviewing. so there's still a lot more information to come but we want to give you a parliamentary review what we found. tenants identified the type of business they have and the type of facility. respondents could pick from any kind of category, several categories in the top four categories were most of them were offices, storage and warehouse, fishing industry, and their time. those were the top businesses along the waterfront. fisherman's wharf >> q1 two move the slide. sorry. thank you. >> fisherman's wharf area have relatively a higher rate of response. larger influence on the survey just because they were much more engaged.

there've been some pre-outreach prior to the survey really did pay off in terms of their response. while the ferry building was unrepresented according to the attendance list. south beach had second highest number of respondents while the northeast had the lowest number of responses. so now i like to turn it over to my colleague liz krieger to discuss the findings specifically. >> thank you, commissioners. my boss, libby is out of the country today so i'm filling in. so, in the survey we asked respondents to identify some of their top issues and not surprisingly, there were transportation issues that affected employees getting to work, customers getting there as well as deliveries. when we

asked them to look at what issues impacted them most, however from this entire list of i think 13 issues, the top three were vehicle congestion, event related closures and backups and parking availability. but what we found was all this came out as a whole for the survey average that affected different areas by location varied. so, looking at this by location this shows vehicle congestion. the look at the red and blue bars together you can see fisherman's wharf and south beach were far more impacted by vehicle congestion than were the other two areas surveyed. so, that was an example that told us we need to look by location, not just the survey results over all. so, we also asked them to rank a list of potential improvements from one being low and 10 being high

and the good news was previously a divide attentional influence they all come out as improvement averaging 5-6 from the survey as a whole. the top three that were slightly higher than the others were increased awareness of nearby parking, traffic enforcement direction and improved advanced alert communications. again, that is on the survey as a whole. when revoked by location, without some slight differences in some of those are pretty important. the fisherman's wharf first, their highest priority improvements were by pedestrian crossing my traffic alerts, traffic enforcement direction. they were the only area that identified improved traffic enforcement and direction is a top priority item. if not they were not important to everybody, but as a top priority for fisherman's wharf, his was unique to them. in fact, we had a verbatim comments we have been able to go through. we had some south beach folks say, we think the topic enforcement is working pretty well. fisherman's wharf,

not necessarily so much. they also have a lot of tenants that late-night and wee hours of the morning hours and high percentage of employees driving to work and we think that's related to the hours they are working, but they do have a signatory higher at the survey is old driving to work. looking at northeast, it certainly different priorities as you can see. and a lot of comments about by pedestrian near misses and clearly whether stein said expense when those first hand from the verbatim. in the ferry building, we had top issues. one of them was parking. was not parking for employees. parking for customers trying to get it. we comes about when they arrive for meeting at 10-11 am i cannot parcel. their issue but parking was about employees. as it was in some

other areas. it also had the highest use of transit by employees getting to work and the lowest driving rate of any of the groups. south beach, again, similar to fisherman's wharf had a lot more mix of overnight hours, 24-7 a lot higher driving percentage getting there. they could have requests about better notification of disruption, construction, not surprisingly, and one of the areas not listed is, i don't know if you caught it earlier, we had 14 respondents didn't tell us their location. we are pretty clear from the comments they are south of the south beach area. some member for two peers 70 things like that. they actually

were big enough population in ranking crewmen they affected survey averages. one of the things important to them as a high priority was increased awareness about availability of parking. so is important enough to them and enough them voted for it that made the top three for the survey as a whole. so, that was one of the things we looked at and continue to look at as we evaluate the survey results further is how those who do not tell us their location are also affected the survey averages and how they could be served and clearly there's a connection there with study results we heard earlier. diane alluded to the fact we have more analysis to do. some final reporting some additional outreach to the community and will be doing that, but for now i'll open up to questions. >> is there any public comment? if not, commissioner woo ho >> acute by much. very useful.

dan said that seems to be transportation they have accommodation of what's happening currently part northern waterfront with the overall city plans is very very helpful to connect the dots together. i'm just wondering i guess asking you and the staff, what you do more analysis how we do something about this information? had we expect to be able to certainly want to survey people and ask them for feedback, they're expecting some reaction and action. to address the feedback. >> all leave the door open for peter alpert doesn't want to take advantage of his further thoughts. i think i first thought was we just needed to get some stable information to start working with. to date, it's largely been enteral or observational by port staff. when we talk about the e line or f frequencies or certainly

the team worked closely with sfmta team that's leaving that embarcadero enhancement bikeway planning project as well because they are already interested in taking on taking in the responses to inform the public process to develop a conceptual design for the site planning. i think that we don't have a fixed program, as to the action steps for what we do with all of this. we are trying to get the survey together and then convene with the city team to start figuring out where there are additional costs will be can be connecting between efforts that are already underway and maybe some small moves that might actually respond to some of the feedback were getting on the survey as well. speak up i guess from the commission standpoint the rest of the commissioners would definitely encourage you to take it-i know you're still studying and nursing. i had the insight that within the waterfront neighborhoods have

different issues. that's a good learning for us and makes a lot of sense. sometimes it takes you to ask questions to find out and not look at one thing as one big sort of one entity. it's not. different neighborhoods because they are affected differently in their needs are different. i think it's very very useful for us to understand that and i think i've always been a proponent not even on transportation but asking our customers and clients , what is on your mind. i think transportation is one of the biggest issues on their minds i think will do other surveys like this because we want to be viewed as someone very responsive to our community and advisory committees, but it's good to do specific surveys to get more deeper into the issues on our clients and tenants mind. >> right. i spent will get more that feedback because once this is actually completed so we can report it out we can

schedule it for our advisory committees for example and later additional information. >> atrophic commission peter albert mta, i also facilitate ballpark mission decor needing committee. that's become a really useful forum for look at the growth having about around the ballpark. it's good model. look at this and i don't know -meet with fisherman's wharf, but there's a focus on transportation but there isn't quite the same sort of structure . i looked at karen again because she seems to be everywhere but we talk about transportation but when the role she plays on that is to make sure were correctly feeding back group into something more meaningful than an idea fast. it's actually group helping track coronation making strong recommendations. in end up being codified more or less for development project. i'm not sure that's the community direction but we like it because it's a communication we have with the community that

has piqued that actually is meaningful and shapes the future development can be going out to the wharf next week to talk about super bowl or the big projects on managing. i would love to be able to say the next number meeting on a regular multicore native meeting we can nail down these issues. i don't know if we have that form in the northern part so i think this is an opportunity. >> commissioner katz >> i think it's really informative. it really is that we appreciate getting the feedback from our tenants the people that believe around the ground that can give you that anecdotal is probably not the right word but they're there every day and they know what has an impact in with me. so look thank you all. >> i agree. thank you for a very very good report. this is good information. what does the

buck embarcadero enhancement project planning? >> what is it? it's an effort to develop a conceptual design from a public process about how to improve bike access, safe bike access, along the embarcadero, it is not only a bike project because we've all heard the stories and the scary stories about how promenade howell busied is on the product. one of the reasons we have not just sort of said bikes get off the promenade is because for the range of bicyclists that we are now seeing along the embarcadero, the green bike lane, actually has, i think

affected to improve bike use but it's not for every rider. that's why we've been reticent against imposing a new rule about pedestrians only on the promenade until we can really work with the city to figure out what is a long-term plan for the improvement of the embarcadero for bikes and maybe what may be coming from that work also some pilots were shorter-term opportunities to organize bicyclists versus pedestrians and establish some protocols that can be enforced. >> is that an internal wart? >> no. that's part led by sfmta and it's an outgrowth where the waterfront trip sedation assessment. so there's a team that's been working and they have a number of public workshops last year. they have some staffing changes, so there can be resuming the public workshops this year. >> thank you.

>> i have a quick question but they do serve the survey with the waterfront when use committee? >> yes. we have a transportation oriented meeting on the docket and the hope was to get all this information packaged and organized for that as well as i do think it's important to share with our advisory groups. >> i want to say thank you. this is a great report and look forward to you coming back. i know all the commissioners know commissioner spiegel said she was a more in-depth but this is great work and great stock. so, thank you very much. >> item 12, new business. >> commissioners, any new business? >> is there any public comment?

commissioner? >> i moved to adjourn. >> all those in favor say aye. opposed? we are adjourn. >>[gavel] .

>> here we are at the embarcadero. we are standing at one of locations for the street artists. can you tell me about this particular location, the program? >> this location is very significant. this was the very first and only location granted by the board of supervisors for the street artist when the program began in 1972. how does a person become a street artist? there are two major tenants. you must make the work yourself and you must sell the work yourself. a street artist, the license, then submitting the work to a committee of artists. this committee actually watches them make the work in front of them so that we can verify that

it is all their own work. >> what happened during the holiday to make this an exciting location? >> this would be a magic time of year. you would probably see this place is jammed with street artists. as the no, there is a lottery held at 6 in the morning. that is how sought after the spaces are. you might get as many as 150 street artists to show up for 50 spaces. >> what other areas can a licensed street artist go to? >> they can go to the fisherman's wharf area. they can go in and around union square. we have space is now up in the castro, in fact. >> how many are there? >> we have about 420. >> are they here all year round? >> out of the 420, i know 150 to

sell all year round. i mean like five-seven days a week. >> are they making their living of of this? >> this is their sole source of income for many. >> how long have you been with this program. how much has it changed? >> i have been with the program since it began 37 and a half years ago but i have seen changes in the trend. fashion comes and goes. >> i think that you can still find plenty of titis perhaps. >> this is because the 60's is retro for a lot of people. i have seen that come back, yes. >> people still think of this city as the birth of that movement. great, thank you for talking about the background of the program.

i'm excited to go shopping. >> i would like you to meet two street artists. this is linda and jeremy. >> night said to me to print them -- nice to meet you. >> can you talk to me about a variety of products that use cell? >> we have these lovely constructed platters. we make these wonderful powder bowls. they can have a lot of color. >> york also using your license. -- you are also using your license. >> this means that i can register with the city.

this makes sure that our family participated in making all of these. >> this comes by licensed artists. the person selling it is the person that made it. there is nothing better than the people that made it. >> i would like you to meet michael johnson. he has been in the program for over 8 years. >> nice to me you. what inspired your photography? >> i am inspired everything that i see. the greatest thing about being a photographer is being able to show other people what i see. i have mostly worked in cuba and work that i shot here in san francisco. >> what is it about being a street artist that you

particularly like? >> i liked it to the first day that i did it. i like talking to mentum people. talking about art or anything that comes to our minds. there is more visibility than i would see in any store front. this would cost us relatively very little. >> i am so happy to meet you. i wish you all of the best. >> you are the wonderful artist that makes these color coding. >> nice to me to. >> i have been a street artist since 1976. >> how did you decide to be a street artist? >> i was working on union square. on lunch hours, i would be there visiting the artist. it was interesting, exciting,

and i have a creative streak in me. it ranges from t-shirts, jackets, hats. what is the day of the life of a street artist? >> they have their 2536 in the morning. by the end of the day, the last people to pack the vehicle probably get on their own at 7:30 at night. >> nice to me to condemn the -- nice to meet you. >> it was a pleasure to share this with you. i hope that the bay area will descend upon the plaza and go through these arts and crafts and by some holiday gifts. >> that would be amazing. thank you so much for the hard work that you do.

- >> all right. so first of all, i want to welcome everybody who is here the press, all our communities partners are here come on matt we have matt right there are for the school district thank you for making it this press conference happen that is probable one of the month crucial and important issues and topics that is going on about gun violence you know taking into consideration what is happening all around the world and country and city we're here as a

community everybody is one to eradicate gun violence i'm rudy the ed of the analyzing an organization that has been standing and fighting against gun violence for the last 21 years i'm here with my people my community and everybody that is here who is serious about this issue we we want to make sure we eradicate gun voipgsz that we are here you take this issue serious one of the most important protections is dealing with the mothers the mothers have lost their sons to gun violence we want to make sure we let them know that also they're being heard and they're being dealt with prove or disprove so me being involved in the violence field for 21 years we tale with youth kids from all over the community all over the

city with the help of brothers like brother rich from project and from the vip team in the building and so without further ado, i want to invite mayor ed lee to come on up we've got to put him on pause the president of the united states we have to put on mayor ed lee let's welcome the ferry rosz robber mayor the city mayor ed lee (clapping.) >> rudy thank you to you and your staff for making your house available to co-host this important press event that announces our intention to join you you're police chief and mothers, people who really want

to embrace non-violence to do this gun buy back this start saturday in the morning i want to emphasize now working with united playaz and others community-based organizations and important as education is to us i know we have a school board member matt haney as important we want good jobs and everyone it this room that wants better paying jobs in this city we want training, we want economic development and other nonprofits to be on their own buildings like the united playaz all of that becomes nearly enforceable inform you got violence violence distracts you from everybody and the trauma lasts for generation unfortunately for families and the communities

that are involved and so it is our attempt with this gun buy back to reduce the opportunity for violence people can have disagreements purely disagreement between me and the board of supervisors sometimes can create some good solutions but if people resort to violence to resolve their it didn't make any difference to make their presence known or try to get something that is not going to solve anything that worsens the situation for everyone so i want to take a big that, of course, because this country as rudy indicated with the call from the president there is a lot of violence under our entire country and the bay area is no different and we got to reach out to more young people reach out to not so i don't know people that resort to

violence we can't that that as an alternative we'll do our best working with the police department and along with the community groups and along with mothers and victims of violence that i know have every right to say what we need to say in front of the city hall or the mayor's office e.r. community groups i support that you mean at the end the message is less violence and embrace each other find a way to communicate with less violence if we do so you'll see advancements in education and advancements in jobs and more enhancement in community economic development that is what we're doing in our housing public housing that is the site of so many violence we're trying to champion that with community

policing pea new techniques and 0 investing in our community and people and make sure we educate our kids it is no, no good answer and solution if you use violence and if we use good afternoon. welcome so getting the guns it is effective over the years i think we gotten over worsening one how guns off the streets month of them not properly purchased if doesn't matter their illegally purchased that violence didn't mean if you purchased that illegal or legally it is the use of goes on to prevent violence we come together i'm united of the united playaz and their friends and communities and groups and individuals that want to change their lives would hope that others would just put the guns down and let's talk through this

city got resources not like we're not offering anything we have making the go bhith investment in the history of the country but trying to get jobs for everyone including those who have a questionable background we'll help you to erase those background and train you in all the industries that the city has been successful we have so many promise as a city question shouldn't have to resort to violence we stand with the united playaz and the officers and community groups and everything that from out of you're prison system we need to do better and need to find alternatives to prison to get people jobs to raise their families and get people where we need to be this is a great city we will be better if we reduce

city and bayview and the hatred golden gate park but the process we'll undertake when we prepare for this storm will be meeting with the national weather service we'll look at winds and temperature and duration and amount of projected precipitation based on those factors we'll decide whether or not to activate the shelters we'll prepare in phases so if we do make the determination we need to activate for our long phases do it in phases the way we stage the locations allows us to bring the shelters up to two or three hours so that excludes mats and partnering with meals on wheel easy this salvation army and others meals on wheels and staffed with city staff as

well as the nonprofits the shelter will operate on to a form 700 to project how long it will last and probable a half or a day after the transitioning out of the shelters the types of location the first thing we look at where are the existing be shelters are providing shelters for folks our emergency shelter some is 15 hundred and 25 beds right now at hsa and that's 1 hundred plus for single adults women and families and some have drop in areas or cafeterias to allow individuals that's the first place we'll look and activate and have our partners with the rec and park department their 3 rec centers that will be used and then the nonprofit

partners and others who have facilities we can use and lastly other facilities ymca for example, has stepped up to provide their give him nature in the western edition and activating weasel be learning was a as we go it is hard to anticipate but in 1998 we had a thousand beds that seems to me you looked at sort of the homeless places in the at any given time 3 thousand people on the streets some don't want to good indoors and at risk of our harming themselves partnership with other agencies and temporary accommodations for two or three nights and others for the homeward bound the

transportation program in other cities and shelter the remainder as we assess the storm and the demand and already have contingencies for hundred additional beds should we need that the facilities will not be some discussion or word on the street to have tents they're not tempts those are permanent structures that will be adding mats and other things to - some of the facilities some of the bigger sheds might be heat and in those cases erect a tent inside of a structure but no plans for tents on the city streets and thanks to the partnering with tdm and others nonprofit partners with the department of health we'll be doing the street outreach and the hope sf so we feel that

we're prepared and almost finished with the memorandum of understanding and contract for locates we'll be ready to activate within a couple of weeks we anticipate the weather is hard to anticipate but the heavy el nino rains from january so february we'll be prepared for the homeless residents thanks. >> thank you's interpreting we'll hear from barbara garcia. >> good morning the district will have roving teams to make sure that the medical needs and the mental health needs of clients are taken care of we're working with the outreach teams for the serviced to make sure they know that the sheltered will be available particularly our homeless outreach team that have mooeveng relationships with the people over the years will have the ability to get the

need to wrap up. what i have isn't too long but sometime said get wordy. senior and disability action formed from merging senior action network and planning for elders in the central city and both started about 1990 so we have a long history. the merger took place about 3 years ago, 4 years ago this year it will be becoming senior and disability action. our mission is about educating, organizing and supporting seniors and people with disabilities using a blend of individual support to make sure peoples needs are met and collective action. we have a vision building a movement of seniors and people with disability to make san francisco more livable for seniors and people with disability squz everyone else with a focus on low income seniors and people with

disability squz constantly recognizing seniors and people with disabilities are people of color, immigrants, lesbian gay, transgender and bisexual. we have members and participants all over san francisco. our office is pretty close to here at 10th and mission and we do events and meetings in neighborhoods all over. i want to give a overview of the major programs. if councilmembers have questions feel free to jump in. housing is one of our biggest programs because there is a such a crisis in san francisco now so we help people on a individual level to deal with evictions, go through affordable housing listings and get on waitest lists and do a lot of policy work around short term rentals, building new affordable housing, inclusionary housing and we see our

role as really educating seniors and people with disabilities and then helping people to get information and skills they need to be able to come to city hall and speak to the board of supervisors and disability council. we do similar work with health care action team and they work on health care and home care using a fun mix of tactics. there are hat members who come to city hall at budget time that sing songs. they put together a skit on hospital discharge to be able to present that in a fun and inkbaijing way. one thing hat is working on now is a survey of domestic employers, seniors and people with disabilities to hire personal care attendants and understand that issue boater and working on in home

supportive service, overtime ishis and imp lmentation. then we have a couple educational programs, we have senior and disability survival school which is a series of classes designed to teach people about resource squz benefits available in the community. how to access them and deal with issue squz appeal if needed. senior and disability university which is a similar educational program that we go and do at public housing or maybe a senior buildsings or senior center, all kinds of places. the focus of senior and disability university is organizing skillsism how can people learn to talk to a legislator and lead a rally, to a letter to the editor. i mentioned we do a lot of direct service and a lot of that is what we call crackle like snap crackle pop and that stands for

community-consumer right for community living. you would thipg i would get it by now. we have a partnership with independent living resource center and that working with people one on one in their own language to get the services and resources they need to problem solve together. most of-some the crackle work is led by advocates. we train senior jz people with disability tooz work with each other on deal wg some of the issues that come up. those are major programs. a couple other things we do, we have a transit justice group that meets. we worked for free muni with seniors for people with disabilities. we have a computer lab and outfit it last year with accessibility equipment so want people to know that is available. we

also did training on disability and ableismism we have the training for intake staff at aging and adult service and available for community organizations, unions. that covers what we do. while i have the microphone i want to encourage people to get involved and there is a lot of ways to do that. we vameeting once a month and everyone is available. it is on the second thursday from 10 to 12 and meet at [inaudible] at franklin and geary. the housing collaborative meets once a month, the heth care action team meets once a months. i mentions the disability training, if you know a organization that may be interested in training let us know. we are recruiting people with disabilities and seniors to come to the office

and have training so people are prepared to work with people and how do you listen and help people with the issues that may come up. i think that covers it >> excuse me jessica, can you include your contact information if anyone would like to know more about what you do and what your organization does and how they can become involved? >> thank you so much. i forgot to that. the office is on mission, 1360 mission between 9th and 10th. on the 4th floor. yoi can stop by any timeism the phone number is 415-546-1333. someone generally answers the phone between 9 and 5 unless we step out. my e-mail is jessica @ sd action.org. our

website is www.sd action.org and we try to keep that relatively updated with what is going on. and we have a mailing list. an the website there is a quick form you can fill out to sign up to be on the mailing list. we don't send a lot of things out, but if you are not on that we encourage you to the sign up. >> thank you, jessica for delivering that report and all you and your staff do. >> i do have a question for you. you eluded to this, but what is your biggest success in 2015 and challenge >> the biggest success is free muni. that was a huge policy change, 55 thousand seniors and people with disabilities signed up and hear it all the time. the big thing they want to work on is making sure that goes permanent. the good news is we don't think that will be a big fight.

the biggest challenge is housing, to figure what to do about the housing crisis. one of the things we are fighting this month is this so called housing density bonus that is very complicated. it sounds like a good policy to allow more housing, but everyone is saying it may lead to massive displacement and seeing so many people with disabilities and seniors driven out of their homes and city. it is trying to put a stop-it feels very reactive but trying to stop people from getting pushed ouz and rents rising and people can't afford to stay to keep people in the city. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> okay. next up is a report on superbowl 50 events and have kristin hogan from department of

emergency management. >> good afternoon members the committee and thank you for having me here. my name is kristin hogan with department of emergency management. we know superbowl 50 is coming to san francisco soon. we call it the superbowl of superbowlsism we are excited to have superbowl coming to san francisco. we are honored to host the superd we believe this will be a event of family friendly and free events and activities running through the course of january 30 and culminating with the day of the game, which is february 7. [inaudible] we are drawing from our experience in hosting fun and safe celebrations to make sure that the 50th superbowl is that, fun and

safe. [inaudible] organized a series of exercises that tested the cities emergency plan and the ability to work with our partners to make sure we are able to be prepared and ready to have a fun, safe and coordinateed superbowl experience for inentire city. as a result of the work, san francisco is not only planned for the superbowl but prepared to respond to a variety of events whether planned or unplanned event and also that could include mass shootings and terrorist atacts that are realitys of the world we live in. superbowl city and nfl experience are the 2 largest events in san francisco. [inaudible] superbowl host committee, superbowl 5 ohost committee and it is a free family friendly event taking place in [inaudible] the nfl

experience is hosted by the nfl and it is a ticketed event and will be taking place in the mu coney center. streets will be closed for superbowl city and nfl experience january 3-february 12. the street closures are the market street east of beale and davis to stewart street. stewart street from market street to don chee wang. embarcadero from washington [inaudible] and howard street between third and fourth. security measures will limit access to the event streets, the closure, but there will be 4 main public entrances, one is market street east of beale and davis and 3 along embark dareo at washington [inaudible]

beginning january 30 san francisco will activate emergency operation center. the emergency operation center will support the [inaudible] operations and coordinate agencies in the role they have in coordinating and helping to make sure superbowl 50 is a great success. we'll also provide public information as necessary so we'll activate our joint nrfgz information center beginning january 30 we will be available at 5 a.m. to handle media inquiries and dusiminate public information in a accessible format. we made it easier to sign up for alert sf. san francisco text and e-mail based alert system. if anyone has a smart phone or cell phone available i urge you to text 888777 and in a

text message you just type in alert sf, one wort. that will register you for the alert sf system. i welcome any questions. sure, great. thank you. i'm pleased for the call to action >> spell check. didn't work. >> i got the same thing, spell check. >> you should get a automatic response. >> welcome to alert and the phone number. very good. thank you. any questions from councilmembers? >> thank you. you mentioned in the presentation about public information outreach because you want to make sure especially around the events

and security everyone is secure. we want to make sure people with disabilities, paratanst can get to and from the destination and there is minimal impact so what type of outreach will you do for that population? >> we will work with our mayors office on disability and also we had a series of exercises that helped us think through the particular issues and brought up about outreach to the -those that may have trouble getting around because of the closures. our plan of inactivation [inaudible] joint nrfgds center is activated is we follow a protocol of providing information that emerges or as needed, however, there is proactive information going out through the partner agency. if it is

transit related we would work with the municipal transit authority to make sure that message is going out and whether it is public works or [inaudible] i think it is not a bulls eye answer to how we engage in a variety of different audiences with specific challenges that result during the superbowl. i think we are very excited about the superbowl but there is a inevitable challenge that will come about with such closures overa extended period of time. i will say during the activation and as we dissiminate public information we will be dissiminating that in the form that is accessible to all audiences so we have the ability to arrange for interpretation and translation. we also work with department of public helt to help get the word out

to service providers as well. it is a balance of that proactive outreach taken place before hand and during the activation situations will emerge and we'll have to solve them. we can come together and solve problems which includes messaging and deliver the messages as needed. >> thank you >> i would like to follow up. you may have said this and spaced out, but will a member the staff be at the eos to help facilitate and deal with consumer needs? >> we just updated our emergency support function [inaudible] annex off the cities emergency response plan and that is the plan we follow to dissiminate public information.

it is what we follow in the [inaudible] we added a position which is a accessible communication specialist so that position is formally indock ruinated into our practice how we operate public information during emergencies. we work closely with the mayors office on disability and we asked them if they can help to [inaudible] i think everyone involved with the superbowl we are very [inaudible] the answer in the physical presence, perhaps not, however we do have very strong connectivity to the mayors office on disability so we can virtually interact whether through a conference call or e-mail, so rest assureed we will reach out to the mayors office of disability as much as they will accommodate us.

>> i was concerned advocacy was being done on the spot and sounds like it is. any other questions from councilmembers? any questions from staff? >> yes, thank you to the chair. cochair supanich. i want to just reemphasis what kristin is saying about the mayors office on disability relationship with department of emergency management, it is very strong and close tie and i wanted to in particular gichb a shout out to kristin and some of the training that donna and joanna did with public information officers. it has been about 2 months now. there is a lot of planning efforts going into thiso vent making sure we can make it accessible to all and also send out the important transportation alerts or information about things like where you do

a paratransit or taxi drop off and giving people a understanding what they can anticipate in the way of the security disruption and if they try to go to the area. the department of emergency management is unique because they are a facilitator to bring together all the different departments that touch an event like this, so if you go to the emergency operation center during this activation, you would see police, fire, ems, health, care and shelter, mayors office on disability to the extent we can and get a appreciation for the collaboration about problem solving and also the openness to including disability advocacy and everything that they do. during the week of the superbowl itself, we are a little constrained to physically be present in the eot the way we would if it

was a post earthquake event. we would be at the eoc for that type of response, but we remained committed to being connected to the em and joint information center to make sure as things come up we are able to get the word out and get it out in the right format. i have been particularly pleased and proud of the things the em has done around integrating american sign language into the press conferences so we are seeing a lot of great things coming out of that relationship so thank you for being here today >> thank you and thank you for your kind words we can't articulate how important our relationship is [inaudible] you deserve a lot of effort for [inaudible] everybody can

understand and access. thank you. >> [inaudible] >> thank you >> thank you. >> did someone want to make public comment? harriet? >> hi, i just wanted to know when the public will know that embarcadero will be closed during i believe january 23 to february-whatever it was. >> i will be happy to answer that if i

could. i know we'll hear a presentation from peter albert later shortly and he'll talk about the transportation changes, reroutes, but i did want to assure you there are no plans to close bart. bart will remain operational unless it gets overcrowded. the same consideration happened during like pride. if a individual station gets too overcrowded for safety reasons they may choose to close it down. there is one of the stairs that comes up from the embarcadero bart station that will be located within the superbowl city but all the other stairs and excollators will be open as well as the elevator that service the embarcadero bart station. bart will beope frn the duringation unless it is over crowded >> it is my understanding

mission street will be closed? >> i think your questions are very timely and peter albert is here and he is the person who has the best grasp for the transportation changes. >> i actually work in that area and it will be a little difficult for me for them to deliver my child to my office. i dont know what the 10 days will be like. thank you. >> that is a good question. >> would you like to respond? >> [inaudible] when i walked into the room i recognized exactly those questions because believe me, i am getting a lot of them t. is a extraordinary challenge to grapple with the changes that are a direct result of what is happening in downtown san francisco. what i'm pleased

with is partnership with mayor office of disability and mta, cal train, everyone working together to make sure the day to day needs of san franciscans are not compromised by hosting thiz huge event which can bring about a million people. the comment i heard, director [inaudible] the bart station -there are 5 portals on embarcadero station that come up to the street. we worked out a deal where all 5 will be open. it is tricky, the one on spear street is the one still in play. we didn't know if we would have to shut it down because it is against major security concerns and federal reserve and police compound. my experience is that is one the heaviest use portals. i use that myself every day when i go to embarcadero ymca. we worked out a deal

to take the pressure off the people at peak. between 645:00 and 945 a.m. they will let commuters go to the portal because a concern is that distance between the fair gates and the escalator is fairly short and if people don't know the portal is closed and came up and had to turn around they would be hammed in with all the people doing the same movement. we take the pressure off the morning period. it is a breakthrough i'm pleased we could reach. the conversation about deliveries or helping people get through, we are putting on the website for how people need to get into the core of the area can do so. we ask people to work their buildings owners with a credential system. you get a credential from the owner if

you [inaudible] our parking control officers will allow the people showing the credential or placard to come to the streets that are otherwise restricted. it is different on market street because it is so controlled with the security barrier, but all the buildings on spear, main, stewart, mission, the streets with restrictions, we allow deliveries and the local traffic to happen. >> thank you. we are ready for your presentation. >> it is already uploaded-wonderful. if this microphone is working-- my name is peter albert, the director

of planning at mta. one of my spault is not just coordinate transportation for mta for this event it is coordinate the planning for the region because if this event will work well and believe me, the way we are working it will work well. i looked at [inaudible] making sure the needs of san francisco are not forgotten in the conversationism it needs to work well in the region and city cooperate. this is a ofernview i'll give but you will get a sense of the extraordinary cooperation and some the challenges that are not easy to make but we make them on 2 basic premises. [inaudible] first of all, we need tomake sure that hosting these events in san francisco will provide a safe and secure environment for everybody, not just the people attending the event but people that

live and work nearby. we cannot take the proximity lightly of having so many people in one area where so many live and work in this area. we air on the side of public safety. that said, another overriding goal is insure those that live and work in san francisco can still get around and we welcome visitor squz see they have a good time without compromiseing safety and hopefully snding away a positive impression of san francisco. the core of this presentation and this is very short but think it is probably the most important part is q and a, the questions and answers. we will divert traffic and you will see from my partner, rosy, they are doing programming with superbowl city or nfl experience, those programs go from january 30 to february 7. for us, dealing with the transportation we actually have

to close those streets a lot longerism we close market street and south bound embarcadero january 2 3. the bake down is faster, it is 4 daysch after the superbowl game we do the break down from february 11 and all the streets resume to normal. the 2 graphics show some of the highlights of the coordination going on. what you see in the graphic is that these are the only muni routes running, these are only the muni routes effected by the closure. the map of muni itself is much more dense, but we looked at every line that might be impacted by the closure of market street between beale and [inaudible] or south bound embarcadero and we made sure we addressed the needs of every bus get thoog

terminal. sometimes they are a block away, sometimes they are at the same terminal but approach it via a different route. one thing i want to point out is there is one elevator in embarcadero on the north side of market. people use the bart station to go from north to south side but ifia need the elevator you can't do that. the agreement for people with accessibility need to go to the front of the gate that help keep the perimeter safe. they are expedited to the front so they can go through superbowl city if all they need to do is cross market street. the second map shows the traffic diversion. if youover overlay the maps the transit routes are in the yellow orange area of the street concentrated closer to superbowl city. the goal is push the

traffic diversion further out and the reason is there will be a lot of traffic trying to go south bound embarcadero and use the downtown grid and want to divert the cars away from the buses. if we are successful people are not driving, they are taking transit. that is the way we challenge our sevl tooz make sure the buses run rely blee and freakquently, manage the traffic and keep it separate. zee the same level of detail for pedestrian jz bikes. when you go own the website at wwwsfmta.com, the first banner pops up about superbowl fiv 50 and you see maps. we paid close attention

to paratransits. we have these identifies for paratransit and these are protected curbs. they won't be use frd other parking or back stage operation. there is washington street on the north side between embarcadero and drum, mission street between embarcadero and stewart. market street in the existing cut out between freemont and beale. california between [inaudible] and third street east side, the existing [inaudible] we called these out because we need to protect that curb so that could be used for paratransit louding. we did a similar effort for taxi standsism we have california, stewart and howard street. these are where cabs have access and get in and out while regular traffic is held back. with that [inaudible] typically we do this the other way but think it is okay

to lead where the idea we solve the transportation stuff before we put rosy on the hot spot. at this point i'll turn it over to my colleague, rousey spaulding. >> good afternoon. rusey spaulding from the host committee and for the event planning and operation and here to give you a ovview of superbowl city and some of the planning happening in superbowl week.

apology this is reversed. typically i would start with a overview and hand over to peter to explain transportation. none the less, here we go. so, superbowl week is actually really a week long activities and most people know about superbowl sunday which is sunday the 7th of february, but it is actually a whole week of festivities. the host committee was founded about 2 and a half years ago when santa clara and san francisco were awarded the bid so we put the bid forward 2 years ago and transformed to a host committee that are responsible for the host committee around the superbowl. that includes preparation the stadium, helping with

transportation solutions, provided venues to the nfl and their sponsors and team, providing practice sites for the teams and delivering a public experience for superbowl city. the teams and game itself will be played in santa clara as you may well know, many events will take place in san francisco. there are 2 main public experiences here in san francisco, one being called the nfl experience at mos connie center run between mu sconey north and south. it is a similar footprint to what is typically set up for [inaudible] and dream force [inaudible] there is a closure between third and fourth on howard street. the second experience is superbowl city that i mentioned and that is free to the public experience and part of our bid obligations we have to deliver to the nfl. i should have said

the nfl experience is a ticketed event and the main difference is nfl experience is ticketed and very much focused on superbowl. superbowl city is focused on the regional celebration of the superbowl and celebration for that week. connecting the 2 experiences is something that the nfl called the 50 mile and there are no road closures between these experiences but encourage peep tool walk or use market street between the 2 experiences as much as possible. along the route it is a way finding path along market street and there will be a couple of parts that [inaudible] that was a opportunity that the nfl and we saw and host

committee to retell the story of what happened from the first superbowl held here and through to now, superbowl 50, which is a milestone superbowl. this diagram shows the rough layout of the mos coney center. as well as the nfl experience the maus coney west will house the 5 thousand credentialed media that will come into town. a hub of activity around maus coney center. superbowl city joined here, this is work in progress but this shows the footprint. what we are in the process of doing is overlaying the elements of superbowl city and the accessible points of this map. for example, the accessible dropoff points identify would

the [inaudible] in addition to paratransit areas. it is a secure site, security is something that is very important to not just the nfl and host committee but sfpd and federal agencies that are all involved in planning not just for the game in santa clara but the events in and around san francisco. especially in light of recent events, security is something we take seriously with any major sporting event and it will be a secure site. there are 4 main entrances into superbowl city they are shown in green, so i think peter mentioned one the main closures is market street east of beale dave us and runs to stewart street and there is a green area east of bill daibs and that is a main entrance to superbowl city and the main gateway to lead

peep tool the nfl experience. coming down to market street there are activities and events at [inaudible] and also [inaudible] the other main closure is southbound embarcadero between washington and don chee way and you can see on the map there are 3 more entrances on embarcadero side and one at washington and embarcadero and [inaudible] a entrance at don chee way and embarcadero. [inaudible] the things people can experience, there are a number of things. we have 3 [inaudible] cbs, [inaudible] and they will be-they have a set to make

a min ifootball field they are building over the top of the boccie ball courts and cnn will broadcast. a number of martners will put on interactive and engaging exhibits and that is what they are tasked with. for example, [inaudible] levi will have a retail work. intell and chevron are putting on exhibit said. the host committee is responsible for putting on a activation called the [inaudible] in the center of justin hermann plaza. we also have music and entertainment, so 6 evenings we will have entertainment in the evening. we announced the head liner which is alicia keys on the 6th of february. there is local

programs as well so during the lunch time period and sometimes in the afternoon, the weekends will have ballet and [inaudible] there isilateal food and beverage. we are mindful there is a fantastic array of food and beverage. that said, based on previous [inaudible] we could look at about a million people over the 9 days so we want to put a little more food and beverage as a back up to that. we have 6 food booths there. they will operate by [inaudible] and will be local restaurants to put those 3 booths together. there are 2 water

stations that will supply, so there is water free to the public. the accessible components are yet to be laid on but work would the mayors office of disability on that process and as soon as we have it we will update the map. it is a accessible site. there will be bathrooms and accessible paths of travel throughout the venue. as peter mentioned, we will be expedite people through the secure entrances. if they need help because of their disability we will have a viewing platform in the consert area. there is no seating in the concert area so it is a standing venue, but we will have a plat form area where it is designated for accessible seating. i think most the key elements of the plan-it is 9 days, 30 of january to february 7 and

the days leading up and post will be building so [inaudible] the 23 of january through thursday february 11, the impacts are in this area. the secure site is only for those 9 days, for the rest the time we'll be careful to protect both the construction and then members of the public from that construction with fencing and staff to insure people can safely travel around that construction while it is happening. and then the hours of operation. on this slide it shows hour of operation for the nfl experience and superbowl city. we are aware we are excited about this and some people want to get to work so we are mindful of that all the time. we are

aware that the ferry buildings and there are a lot of people coming from the ferrys to get to work and using that embarcadero station, so we tried to mitigate that by not opening superbowl city until 11 a.m. when i say not opening, that means events and actaveties won't start before 11. people can walk through this site any time, but the event and activities won't start until 11. we recognize it is a added challenge, we will be-it should be easy to get to work, it will just be through a secure entrance before 11 a.m. then closing times we close at 9 o'clock on week nights so sunday through thursday we are open to 10 p.m. fridays and saturday. on superbowl sunday which is game day we [inaudible] 3

o'clock we close superbowl sunday and we start dismantling the venue immediately after that. that concludes what i have to say, but welcome any questions. >> we will entertain questions for mr. albert and mrs. spaulding. any questions? councilmember wong. >> thank you for the update. i have a few question. can you tell us for the superbowl 50 experience, how much are the tickets and can you purchase it at the venue or you have to do it on line?

>> the nfl experience is ticketed. i want to say the tickets are about 30 dollars. you can purchase the tickets on line and pretty sure you will be able to purchase them at the venue as well but recommend you go on line. >> is it one ticket per day? >> that is correct. superbowl city is free so there are no tickets for superbowl city. >> alright. the superbowl city, will they have additional retail shop frz the nfl for souvenirs? >> yes, we do have a small retail shop at superbowl city. a large one at the maus coney center but there will be a nfl shop. >> the superbowl experience-you get into that retail shop to be

? >> that is a good question. i think so. we do have one at superbowl city which you don't have to pay for. >> okay. the entrance i noticed the one main entrance over at drum and market, is there any other entrance in case somebody may not necessarily know that is the main entrance? >> there are 4 entrances . one is on market street east of beale davis and 3 on the embarcadero side >> so basically it is [inaudible] >> those are the public entrances and should mention that for-we won't publish them [inaudible] there will be other ways of getting into the

site. for embarcadero is within the footprint. if you want to go to embarcadero center you can do that through the normal path of travel between the hyatt regency and [inaudible] you can still get into the area but go through a secure check point but there are other ways to get into the area, but we are not publishing those because we are trying to make it easier for residence and businesses to maintain as much as possible their daily lives and needs each day. >> yeah. i'm glad that the detailness of the paratransit and taxi stands. i have been in many committees of the superbowl committees in san francisco and this is the first i have seen that is identified so i'm really

glad. i was curious where it was so now it is answered. thank you. >> any other councilmember question or comments? >> i also want to thank you for taking the consideration of the superbowl city and nfl experience for everyone to have a enjoyable time by make tg accessible for seniors and people with disabilities and especially for the communication part out there for the public such as councilmember wong mentioned about the accessible drop off for paratransit and taxies and a area where they can enjoy the same programs and experiences so appreciate the presenters taking that into consideration for the experience so thank you for both being here today. >> i have a number of questions myself. starting with transportation

presentation, i'm assuming a lot of the electric trolley buses will be converted to diesel, is that true? >> no we were able to keep all the trolley buses rubs as trony buses. we created a 2 way street out of 1 way street on beale that allowed buses out of the way of traffic that is one block over and still get people to and from transbay terminal >> f line as well? >> the street car is one exception. the street car will be a motor coach from castro on market street it makes the turn on to beale and then goes down mission and mission becomes transit only lanes and help you get through that part and connects with the trolley south of the ferry buildings.

people get off the trolley can get off the bus and off the bus on the trolley. we tried to make that as seemless as we could >> superbowl city-you can take the f line all the way to the warf and back? >> that is correct. there is a new service on embarcadero called the e line. the e line is historic street car that runs from california train station to fishermans warf. we augmented the rail connection between cal train and embarcadero with e and n and e won't run on the weekends but it typically would run to allow f extra suvs. >> great. my question is the paratransit zones and taxi stands,

these are for everyone or just going to superbowl city? >> hat these are needs for avenue wn in the downtown area that are accommodated with these services >> will the folks subject to a security check? >> yes, if you get off the vehicle at that point you use one of the 4 gates rozy described. someone with a disability goes to the front of the line of the security gates >> just a couple more questions but think they are important for people who live and work in the area. you mentioned commuters from the ferrys walking through superbowl city, do they have to go through security rer are there specific routes for nem them to take? >> thank you for asking the questions, the most important thing is get the word out because there is so much misinformation so i love this

line of questioning. we did a lot of work between the ferry building and bart stationism we won't have a passage way that allows you to go from bart to the ferry building from marpth street because market is in the perimeter of superbowl city. you can go that way and go down market and exist the gates and go to had ferry building but we want a better alternative that dozen require you to go through check points so the alturns we are looking at are on the north side of market i recommend you use the drum street exist or elevator and go around washington. that will be the closest connection to the ferrys that go to vallejo. if you go to the golden gate ferry that serve [inaudible] on the certain terminal. the quickest way is get off bart on the south side and during the morning commute we will keep a passage way open for spear street. they only amount to about a block and a half extra

disance but about the same distance if you go to the the oakland alameda ferry. >> thank you. now, we have the [inaudible] and then we have nfl experience at maus coney and security goes to beel davis. between beale and third is there a heightened presence for the large number of people traveling between the 2 events? >> i will invite [inaudible] there will be a presence a nfl manned area but it isn't a secure area and people are free to come and go between the 2 experiences as they please >> i want to thank you for taking time out of what must be a hectic time in your life. any other questions? let's move on to staff.

>> [inaudible] i just want to take a opportunity to thank kristin, rosy and peter because i have been in a few of the exercises and i get to go home and not think about it but you do this for a long time and for you to give up your time to do this on a important issue for people with disabilities trying to manage their way around the city for 10 to 12 days i appreciate it. i was talking to a colleague yesterday about sfmta having embasters >> they are trainling embasders [inaudible] we are giving everybody a common script. the message is the same and different responsibilities, but one of the main functions will help orient

people because there will be changes, connections will be a block here and maybe different, some of the bart station portals will change after the commute so there will be embasders to help people nachbigate >> i would like to thank peter and rosy for coming today and all the incred fwlae good work you have been doing over the last 6 months. they had the skill to be able to remain calm and make the effort look effortless but i know there is a lot of engagement with our office and also with your wonderful resources at the mta including on accessible service tooz make sure the transportation and security will work for all. our office will work with rosy and staff to do orientation training for some of the different staff that will be at the gates or in the venue to make sure we have

a disability sensitivity that is part of the experience. we will use the website to link to that important information that can be found at the mta website as well as the host committee website so people can keep up to date on the latest happenings. i know there was a question staff asked a few moments ago and that is whether or not the superbowl website would perhaps have a contact person so that if somebody has a disability question they know who to call and the person is trained to answer the questions whether that is about the drop off positions or how to get to the seating area at [inaudible] to enjoy the free entertainment? >> we will have a help line we are setting up. it isn't just for

accessibility but for local residence and accessibility and it may be a good idea if the same person is included in the training we talked about. the hot line will be operational during the opening hours and lead up and take down it will be more of a answering service but people check that message twice a day and respond but when we are up and running it is open during the opening hours. >> we can help you with a little of that language to use those key terms that people are trained to recognized on websites. i also wanted to thank you rosy for all the work you is done around the permitting because you had that big tent approach to bringing the port and public works and mta and mod and rec and park together so we can make sure the installations are fully

accessible and maintain a good path of travel down market street so thank you for your efforts. >> thank you we are quite [inaudible] >> i would like to-next week i will do a presentation to muni accessible advisory committee. i want to acknowledge [inaudible] has done as well as [inaudible] people that make sure we have the needs addressed. >> any other staff questions? do i have public comment on this item? anyone on the bridge line, mr. web? no. i want to thank you both again. thank you very much. we are moving to

item 7, it is with some sadness that we engage in this item. this is the last meeting that mrs. harriet wong will attend as a member and we would like to say a few words. if you when come to the lectern harriet, and denise and i will meet you down there. we have a couple items for you. >> we hope to see you at the

[inaudible] harriet, appreciate your service to the counsel and community. you represent several segments of the community very well over the years. [inaudible]

>> good afternoon. i'm harriet wong and i served on the mayors disability council for approximately 6 and a half years. i think i learned a lot about the council itself. how government is in san francisco and just a lot about

disability issues. i have a daughter with special needs myself. this has been a whole learning process for me and i'm really happy that i have been able to serve my community. this is the city that i was born in and i grew up in and i also spent 12 years [inaudible] but, i'm kind of getting on in years and it is a little difficult dragging my daughter everywhere with me and doing all these things, so i think i'm just taking some time off for right now and hopefully i will retire next year, but i really enjoyed serving which community and city of san

francisco and really want to thank everyone. susan mizner and councilmembers, the mayors office on disability, carla johnson and john [inaudible] so, i really enjoyed all the discussions we had here and i'm just taking a little break. thank you so much. >> [inaudible] any councilmembers like to say a few words? coshare senhaux >> harriet, what i can say, i it is a pleasure working with you 6 and a half years. i learned a lot from you. you sent many meetings and worked

on various resolutions with us and the partnership is incredible, i learned a lot from you as a parent with a child with special needs. you brought a lot of issues to our attention and feel i learned so much and you will be missed and hope to see you again at these meetings. i dont like to say good bye, i'll just see you soon and hope you get the needed time to relax, okay? thank you again for serving your community and working with us and i'll see you soon. >> i really enjoyed working with you too denise tatiana and [inaudible] i think you were both here when i started. i am a little shy so i think the leadership roles i got into

[inaudible] i'm still a little shy. thank you and [inaudible] >> councilmember roland wong. >> surely i will miss you too. i have learned a lot and as far as many different types of disabilities and it is hard to describe, but i will be definitely in touch, okay? thank you, harriet for serving the city and county of san francisco and the mayors office on disabilities. that you know. >> thank you roland wong, i admire that you do so much. i mention it all the time that you are-you have all these accessible things for everyone in the city and you just do so much that i

really encourage those that i actually know that are wheelchair bound or whatever that if roland can do it, so can you so it is like, get up. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> dona atkins i'm glad we crossed paths again. thank you everybody. >> councilmember kostanian >> harriet you are a [inaudible] thank you so much for your-showing us the way. i wish you all the luck and congratulations in your years ahead. don't retire. >> i think with my daughters stories and with everyone elses stories that i heard it is really broadened my

horizon about just people themselves. i'm really out there to help people and hope i can continue helping people in whatever way that i can. >> harriet, like i mentioned earlier, you effectively represented several segments of the disability communityism children with disabilities, parents of children with disabilities. you [inaudible] education issues and park issues for children with disabilities. your voice was the sole voice for the community and that was a very important role . >> i think i was a voice for the chinese community and those with children that come after the child is 18 and they don't know what to

do. >> i hope you continue your advocacy efforts on behalf of the communities because you needed. >> i surely will, thank you. >> thank you. harriet it has been such a honor and privilege to support you in your leadership role on the mayors disability council and want to echo the words the councilmembers have already expressed that your perspective was unique and necessary for us to hear and it was lovely to see clar here too. i think it was always good to meet her and know there are many clars out there and that is part of our responsibility is make sure we gets everything she needs to thrive in our community. i also appreciated everything you taught about the work with you did

with lions and other advocacy work in the community and just want you to know we appreciate you and will miss you. >> harriet, you and i have known each other a long time. i feel like i watched clar and you grow up together sort of. i have known clar since she was in high school. the perspective on the council like the perspective of a parent, the perspective of a parent with a person transitioning from high school to a adult. i enjoyed watching you and clar interact over the years and glad you are going to retire because i know low hard you work but do keep in touch. >>

>> we went a little long for a break but [inaudible] stuck in the elevator for a period of time. it happens. we'll begin with item 8 about new ways to address hoarding disorder. the speakererize jill nielsen and john franklin >> hi. thank you for the invitations, i appreciate the time you are going aford john and myself. i'm the program director for the cities adult protective service program. two sentences about adult protective services, we are a 2 hour state mandated program, county run hire here in san francisco. our program is located within it department of aging and adult services and respond to cases

of physical abuse, emotional abuse, financial abuse, negligent, self negligent. today i'll focus on a pilot project that we recently completed and the issue of hoarding disorder and how it impacts our clients with disabilities and older adults that have hoarding disorder. so, i will try to keep this as concise as i can. if i run over let me know, where want john to have time too. it is and we don't need to run through had whole piece. i'll run through it quickly. can i use this one instead, is that okay? thank you. hoarder disorder is-there isn't a lot of research about hoarder

disorder. it now part of the d smt is oun set of mental health disorder, but 2 to 5 percent of the population experiencing hoard er disorder. to compare that rel vens, the same rates approximately of alzheimer's disease so it gives a sense this is a condition that is prevalent and don't think the research to date we have a good understanding of the impact especially the financial impact hoarder disorder has an our economy. in adult protective service, typically hoarder disorder is seen as clients as part of self negligent. the photo in the powerpoint is a photo from a

client that participated in our pilot project and the picture is showing a room that is very stacked-orderly way with primarily books. this is sort of a more star typical, people may think of neat orderly rows, that isn't always the way it presents. some of the other photo's i will show you later show it can look-can be quite in disarray. self negligent is a very significant part of the adult protective service work that we do. in fact, last fiscal year, fiscal year 14-15, we had 3300 reports of self negligent. sometimes

cases come in with self negligent and abuse of others. i will say self negligent is our bread and butter. it is what we do. self negligent may lead to abuse by others. if someone is self negligenting it places them at increased ringe for exployation or abuse by others. 70 percent of the cases that we investigate involve semp negligent confirmed. it is happening at a very high rate. 2600 reports of self negligent that involves had health and safety violations that don't want to get too descriptive but may involve residences that hoard and clutter or cluttered conditions, but may also fecal matter, urine, blood, real public health sanitation issues. i

will say that we are troy trying to get better about tracking the hoarder cases or cases that involve hoarder and and the last fiscal year we had 550 cases that were assessed that we were able to say had hoarding disorder and of those cases, 350 of the folks were assessed at moderate to high risk for eviction. eviction risk is a very key part of especially for the folks that live in rental units that is the majority of those. if you are a rental and having your residence filled and in hoarder condition places you at risk of eviction and everyone knows and agrees in san francisco eviction is crisis. we do everything we can do avoid evictions. this slide is

really showing the challenging issues that come up for adult protective service disorders. the client very often may have cognitive impairment and dementia, mental health issues above and beyond the hoarder disorder that make it difficult for us to work especially in a very efficient-it may make the process longer. all most always be have low income client with financial constraints. i have written abatement deadlines that is working with a client that is part of the eviction cort. we have the dates set through abatement hearings through environmental health so you deal with strict scary deadlines. of course most the clients

with hoarder disorder are reluctant to discard their items. that is a part the disorder and melthal hlth commission. about 18 months ago, 2 years a, january 2 years ago, started on a pilot project really to try something new and so we were lucky because we were able to partner on a new intervention approach. the intervention approach is the hoarder intervention and tenancy preservation pilot program and this came out of a group in boston called the metropolitan boston housing partnership and got connected to the folks in boston through the hoarder taskforce and through the fabulous international conference mha puts on every year that attracts people from all over

the world. it is a handful of people that know how it deal with the issue and doing research on it. we were able to partner with mental health association of san francisco and also partnered with dbi, department of building inspection and helped fund the evaluation piece of the project which we are grateful for. we worked with researcher, doctor moncu[inaudible] who did the evaluation for us. the participant profile we are focused working with people that were actively at eviction. they had to have code violations, building code violations or health code violation. what we found when we started work wg the pilot folks we had a small sample 2 folks

and 90 percent had melthal health conditions above the hoarding disorder and 76 percent had [inaudible] the prime ary goal is prevent eviction and resolve health and safety. we partnered with environmental health on this. they are interested finding new ways to avoid eviction. they don't want to evict people. we were look toog reach clients that typically don't access treatment on their own. mental health association of san francisco has an array of services for hoarding and tend to focus on folks [inaudible] aps clients often do not have that awareness, they are not able and at the point where they go and access

groups. we are looking to improve collaboration and wanted to learn more about hoarder disorder. when i talk to people about it i encourage different programs to try to engage in research at any level because there is just a [inaudible] of research on this subject. what was new about the intervention technique, what was really new is in addition to doing our aps crisis intervention and assessment we did weekly visits. my social workers are mandated do visits every 30 days, on average aps cases in san francisco are closed in 39 daysism much of that is due to the fact we have such a high volume of cases coming in. our high this past fiscal year is 679 reports of abuse in august. that was a absolute high for us. part of

it is preservation, we have to go in and deal with cases quickly. this model we tried out was really sort of throwing that out, let's try something new and this was long term. one of my aps social workers working intensively over a 18 month period and some folks stretched into 2 years. visiting folks weekly. the big part is first development repore through motivational interviewing. the social workers, most are very talented and experienced and able to develop repore with a lot of the clients. clients with hoarder disorder require more visits to develop trust and repore. key also was the skill building. my social worker was going out and doing weekly visits, building skills,

sorting and discarding practice, so trying to teach people how to manage this disorder over the long term and you have to teach them skills and do homework. the skill building really key was doing it in the home, having a social worker that would go to the home and homework. i went out and met the clients she was working with and one the clients-sorry we couldn't find a consumer who could come. it is daunting experience to come and speak. i met with one of her consumers and see said having the weekly visit was a motivation. i go cloudia would come back from one week to the next, i would commit to clearing off half the table and wanted to have progress. claudia takes picture, they celebrated the progress. this woman i met

with and know she is okay telling you that story, her dream is she had been-she worked in cosmetics at macey's and wanted to go into boarder care and assistive living facilities and bring in the make up and make up older adults. she wanted to give back to the community. she also had a sister who lives back east and wanted her sister to come visit. the point of pride for people. this is her house. that was her kitchen. not insame what i show is a picture of a kitchen that is filled with lots of odds and ends, you can't see the floor, you cannot see the table. claudia works with her slowly bet surely to come up with measurable goal squz a key goal is let's

get your stove back. we need a safe stove area where you can cook. this is a woman who is very very burdened by the hoarding disorder but focused on nob fub [inaudible] nob at the end of the intervention we were tibel connect her so she can participate in her own recovry past the time we closed her case. case management was a key. comes up with the clients and came up-this client in particular utility bills that were overdue and she was at risk of having her electricity turn off. aps worked with her, get those utility bills paid off so she doesn't have that stress. that is a

key piece about this work is that having it be broad multi-faceted and meeting client where they are at and trying to help to address all the crisis in their life because the hoarder disorder causes impairment that makes it difficult for them to manage all the difficult executive functioning issue like paying bills, if you can't find the bills how do you pay it, if you can't find the check book how do uyou pay the bill? on a average of 4 month tooz resolve health and safety violation jz 4.4 month tooz remove the threat of eviction. claudia worked with our pilot group for 18 months to 2 years, but we were able to resolve the health and safety code violation and get environmental health to close their case within 4 months. the threat of eviction was gone within 4 months and

that is really not a long time. i was pleased to have that number because i thought that is a manageable number. unfortunately it isn't manageable for adult protective services give chb the high level of cases we are dealing with, it is a a challenge to keep cases open for 4 months. it is a obstuical to provide visits once a week a month. 88 percent resolve the health and safety code viications and 75 percent of the client preserve their housing. we didn't preserve everyones housing which is unfortunate and part of the learning process. we did also find there were benefits from the model in terms of mental health improvement, anxiety rates were improved, but what we did find is
