shared and connected vehicles when they are ready to be brought to market. [inaudible] work better together and provide more access to mobility without the car ownership and also save customers time and money. a big focus of the grant is customer focus and figure out the opportunity we can improve the customer experience in the transportation system. from all the research we have done we know vehicle technology can meet multiple city goals if guided effectively. they can reduce traffic fatality, reach the [inaudible] and reduce [cough]. we think we combine the suvss together and should be able to see something that is trans formational and [inaudible]

shift more priority for things we care about which is walking transit and cycling but also if we can save up the demand for needed to use the parking garages we can potentially transform them and create affordable housing is that is a huge opportunity to reclaim some of our public space dedicated for private car use over to something that is more aminable to social equity which is affordable housing. the grant focused on 3 areas, one is create a city policy framework [inaudible] a lot of the companies are brand new and they are literally all over the place in terms of their ability to meet our city goals and objectives. work on developing the [inaudible] and then guide the development of the automated technology. we have 6 keep principles we would like to push forward on as a

screening criteria before we qualify the companies from now on and that is looking at the safety both in the vehicle and traffic safety approach to the operation making sure they focus on affordability, accessibility, available across the city and make sure they work with each other so they are [inaudible] and leading to the [inaudible] these customer focus objectives will help improve the things people have been telling us that are important. for example, being able to see all the different transport services in one app. [inaudible] and pay in one app. those things will create a simplified approach in knowing the services are available and also utilize around the city. we are going to work with the companies to create a governance structure how we manage our data and tie that to the open data portal we have with sf open data and create city

dashbords and metrics how we can see the efficacy of the work. lastly, which is important, is how do we test all this new technology on our streets? we will develop a community design framework to prioritize the different [inaudible] on the streets and then integrate the technology into the municipal fleets and land use policy because the potential for connected and automated [inaudible] will have a big impact on parking and that will allow us to reassess some of our parking policies we have in land use. now, before we do any of this we need to develop metrix and a process to make the changes so again, data driven is critical. let's walk through some of the concepts we have come forward on. we have the idea of [inaudible]

platform where we filter providers through the 6 goal areas. one area we focus more on is understanding our customer needs, so learning more about what the residents, workers, visitors and commercial delivery services need to move around the city. work with providers to qualify them so they can be considered part the transportation system and work with our technology partner tooz integrate all the technology makeing getting from a to b [inaudible] what pilots we can do to apply the technologies on to our streets whether [inaudible] station squz so on. if we can move forward with this approach we can see that based on the research this is a hi ypothesis of the analsis, we should see

collision, congestion, emissions and street demand go down over time and also affordability and liability going up over time. there is a phase to the roithd right that we should repurpose streets and parking for more aminities we consider important in the city. we have diagrams [inaudible] currently in phase 1 where we are today, a lot of cars on the streets [inaudible] taxi and transit, but mostly a congested experience for everybody. recently we had the increase in the different tnc services which are creating more capacity for on demand trips but still not a real change in the transportation system. we believe that if we expand the sharing economy in the transportation system to have more car and bike sharing and the

different carpooling services that is when we will see travel demands in the city and should be able to repurpsh spots for [inaudible] and things we care about in the city as well. when we get to shared and connected system where the vehicles are connected and communicating they can move much closer to each other and aware of the traffic conditions and safety issues that is when we'll see positive reductions in meeting the vision zero goals and reducing emissions and so forth. [inaudible] we can start repurposing the street space to open space and things we care about as a city. ultimately the vision is that in the automated version there will be less space needed to move people around and more space dedicated for things we care about and that is basically our vision that we are moving forward on with this grant. the second piece of

this is to create a community challenge to ask the neighborhoods how we can start piloting in the area. one neighborhood is selected, we may select more neighborhoods but it will start one first and figure ways to we can provide technical services to the applicants and improve the [inaudible] services and new ideas into that neighborhood. the city team that is moving forward with the grant is a core policy team between my team and the mayors office, uc berkeley and the consultant we are starting with and the technical support team consists of many different groups inside the mta and city partners with department of technology, the sfcta, metropolitan transportation commission, [inaudible] and california strategic

growth council and have a externt support team with different technology providers and we'll work with community engagement organization to help with the community challenge. our key steps in closing is that we are initiating the project team to get this final phase of the grant delivered. we develop the community challenge with community partner tooz create the engagement, website portal, [inaudible] and review panel and developing the qualified technology partners because we are ininidated and want to be able to screen them to help they add value [inaudible] as part of a requirement we have to do a 3 minute video slaining the vision and concept. i want to mention the smart city grant should we receive it will accelerate the program where most of the stuff is

already under way so this will give a big boost. that is my conclusion, happy to answer any questions. >> thank you papandreou. colleagues any question or comments? seeing none we'll move to public comment then. thank you. any public comment on item number 10? >> this time should start when i arrive at the podium so could you reset the button please to 2 minutes? thank you. so, one supervisor asked a question of the grants-there is no guarantee they'll get a grant, but then we ask a couple of questions. number 1, the southeast sector, 30,000 units are [inaudible] right now if you

evaluate the transportation system in the southeast sector it gets a f minus. now, if you travel from the southeast sector to the north, every day you supervisors should go and check the freeways. the congestion is so umbearable people are fighting on the freeways and soon we'll have shooting on the freeways. it is very nice to hear plans as if we are living on another planet. as far as i know we are living on the planet earth and we need to be realistic. the first thing is san franciscans need to be respected so the public transportation system should cater to san

francisc's. we recently had a report on the newer buses that maybe the performance isn't so good even though some talk that they would be good so we need to reevaluate the new buses and find out if you spend millions and millions of dollars if you are doing san franciscan's right by spending taxpayers money. i appreciate it very much just giving us 2 minutes on the very very convoluted topic. thank you very much. >> thank you. any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. okay, this is a information item. item number 11. >> item 11, introduction of new items, >> colleagues any introductions? any public comment on item 11? seeing none

public comment is closed. this is also a information item. item 12, any general public comment? >> good morning commissioners. when the truth of one is in charge [inaudible] and destiny of origin [inaudible] travel a thousand miles in [inaudible] knowing of true destiny then [inaudible] human way of life in circumstances should make up proportions to have a way of [inaudible]

holy destiny [inaudible] loyalty, parental love, dignity [inaudible] having the wisdom and courage [inaudible] ones existence of true self [inaudible] is ones true heart [inaudible] thank you so much.

>> next speaker. >> supervisors, so i like to address quality of life issues. and i know the supervisors-some of the supervisors who work in our districts trying to do the right thing. we need to address transportation in a different way. ofn we put the emphasis on consultants and as i look to the right here, i see a lot of change of faces. a lot of change of faces. i do not see a diversity. we need a diversity and we don't see it here. we are

going to visit you all at your office and not a couple people but maybe 2, 300 people just like we did the other day. when we went to two supervisors they were missing in action and than were [inaudible] relevant pertinent questions they couldn't answer, so you know, i'm here to put the san francisco county transportation authority on notice and i can do that because i represent the first people of the area to mark malone and you all haven't been paying to that. a lot of your eir ceqa and so forth you came here 2 or 300 years ago and took things over you can do as you please. we really don't need to be building so much. we

don't need congestion. thank you very much. >> any additional general public comment? seeing none public comment is closed. item number 13. >> item 13, adjournment. >> colleagues we are adjourned. [meeting adjourned] welcome to

did you know that many buildings in san francisco are not bolted to the foundation on today's episode we'll learn how the option to bolt our foundation in an earthquake.

>> hi, everybody welcome to another episode of stay safe i'm the director of earthquake safety in the city and county of san francisco i'm joined by a friend matt. >> thank you thanks for being with us we're in a garage but at the el cap center south of market in san francisco what we've done a simulated the garage to show you what it is like to make the improvements and reduce the reflexes of earthquake we're looking at foundation bolts what do they do. >> the foundation bolts are one of the strengthening system they hold the lowest piece of wood onto the foundation that prevents the allows from sliding

during an earthquake that is a bolt over the original construction and these are typically put in along the foundation to secure the house to the foundation one of the things we'll show you many types of bolts let's go outside and show the vufrdz we're outside the epic center in downtown san francisco we'll show 3 different types of bolts we have a e poxy anchor. >> it is a type of anchor that is adhesive and this is a rod we'll embed both the awe hey that embeds it into the foundation that will flip over a big square washer so it secured the mud sell to the foundation we'll need to big drill luckily we have peter from the company

that will help us drill the first hole. >> so, now we have the hole drilled i'll stick the bolt in and e post-office box it. >> that wouldn't be a bad idea but the dust will prevent the e post-office box from bonding we need to clean the hole out first. >> so, now we have properly cleaned hole what's the next step. >> the next step to use e post-office box 2 consultants that mixes this together and get them into tubes and put a notice he will into the hole and put the e post-office box slowly and have a hole with e post-office

box. >> now it is important to worm or remember when you bolt our own foundation you have to go to 9 department of building inspection and get a permit before you start what should we look at next what i did next bolt. >> a couple of anchors that expand and we can try to next that will take a hole that hole is drilled slightly larger marathon the anchor size for the e post-office box to flow around the anchor and at expansion is going into the hole the same dinning room we'll switch tamet

so, now we have the second hole drilled what next. >> this is the anchor and this one has hard and steel threads that cuts their way into the concrete it is a ti ton anchor with the same large square so similar this didn't require e post-office box. >> that's correct you don't needed for the e post-office box to adhere overnight it will stick more easily. >> and so, now it is good to go is that it. >> that's it. >> the third anchor is a

universal foundation plate when you don't have room above our foundation to drill from the top. >> so, now we have our foundation plate and the tightened screw a couple of ways to take care of a foundation what's the best. >> the best one depends on what your house is like and our

contractors experience they're sometimes considered the cadillac anchor and triplely instead of not witting for the e post-office box this is essentially to use wn you don't have the overhead for the foundation it really depends on the contractor and engineering what they prefer. >> talking to a qualified professional and see what. >> shop and dine the 49 promotes loophole businesses and changes residents to do thirds shopping and diane within the 49 square miles of san francisco by supporting local services we help san francisco remain unique and successful where will you shop and dine shop and dine the 49. >> my name is neil the general manager for the book shop here

on west portal avenue if san francisco this is a neighborhood bookstore and it is a wonderful neighborhood but it is an interesting community because the residents the neighborhood muni loves the neighborhood it is community and we as a book sincerely we see the same people here the shop all the time and you know to a certain degree this is part of their this is created the neighborhood a place where people come and subcontract it is in recent years we see a drop off of a lot of bookstores both national chains and neighborhoods by the neighborhood stores where coming you don't want to - one of the great things of san francisco it

is neighborhood neighborhood have dentist corrosive are coffeehouses but 2, 3, 4 coffeehouses in month neighborhoods that are on their own- that's

co-sponsoring supervisor kim and supervisor avalos and supervisor mar that builds on prevention that supervisor mar spearheaded in 2009 that legislation allows landlords to evacuate families owner move-in the families have children under the age of 18 the scald system and prohibits the eviction during the school year the current legislation expands the existing legislation to include all no fault evictions so that families with children in our system can not be evicted during the school year for evictions related to condominium conversion and substantial rehabilitation the second thing it includes educator and we define educators as people that

work in san francisco continentals directing with students and home daycare's both public and private this not only includes the teacher a classroom a paraprofessional an administrator a psychologist or security guard or liaison a cafe worker janitor or school nurse we know that san francisco is facing an affordability crisis if this affordability crisis that impacts our education in terms of the crisis in housing the san francisco retirement board provided the data that shows that there were 2000 notices of eviction filed

between be marking 2014 and 2015 this is a significance 55 increase compared to the 5 year period before that wrpts with regards to no fault 4 hundred and 38 vibrations were on record if you ask the advocates the number will probable be do you believe that number the impact on families with children raises concerns many families who are veektsdz can't afford to stay in san francisco and therefore are forced to leave san francisco but not just the families themselves from the family is evicted the impact can be felt if an educator is evicted not only of that educator and his or her family by the students that are educated by his or her that's why this legislation make sense and to put it into context of what it means to a school worker

let's look at the salary for a full kre7b89d teacher is less than 3 thousand 4 hundred conflict of interests a month that teacher has to if they want to stay in san francisco facing an eviction they have to deal with the market where a one bedroom apartment the medium rental prices for the one bedroom apartment is 3 thousand 6 hundred and 20 more than the entire money they make within a month the issue is worse foyer a paraprofessional here in san francisco a paraprofessional their average salary is $2,083 a month imagine living on that when you have to pay 3 thousand plus for a one bedroom a december 2015 professional survey by the educators of san francisco that represents payrolls and teachers found that 70 percent of all responded to

that survey and 59 percent were concerned with the high cost of living in san francisco this is impacting the educators of our city x baiting the issue san francisco, california ray and nationally a school teacher and staff shortage problem pursue the number of people enrolled the program has dropped if a 45 thus to fewer 20 thus and that is between 2008 and 2013 and at the end of the school year last year we have nine hundred openings the school district alone and an insufficient number of substitute teachers we had a hearing pointing out that because of the high cost of living that we have the school district unable to hire all the substitutes it needs this

ordinance about help mitigate the impact of displacement of educators and families 2 will be something simply needs jeer we can know that city has taken steps to help the educators those findings steps require that we actually it takes time to do some of the things we've talked about we have programs to create housing for teachers that it takes time for those findings projects to have an impact unless we act now and today by the time we do something we will have los lost so much of the educators i take the opportunity to thank you the staff hillary and my legislative aid that has worked on that for quite a few of the i want to acknowledge the critical role that the midnight educators lee the audience and

others if usf and particular i 2079 acknowledge the work of dean preston the decker the tenants together this is actually something that came out of the work that dean has been doing in his neighborhood it's been dean's brainchild working with the tenants throughout the neighborhoods and communities that issue came up and that solution that dean came up with and brought to our office important i also want to thank the youth commission for unanimously supporting the legislation and acknowledge the board of education sandra fewer and matt haney who is here today i know they have drafted a resolution that will be kcmo about the board of education at their meeting tomorrow colleagues, i believe we need to act now to address this crisis

because that housing crisis unfortunately has created another crisis i respectfully ask for your; is that right and unless questions or comments i'll turn to public comment. >> thank you supervisor campos for your opening remarks especially ladies and gentlemen, we allow public comment to happen right here come and share your thoughts with us. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm the director of the pacific primary which is a school for early child center and schools that has two sites at barker and grove the school is over 40-year-old and serves parents a few day around the school serving one and 55 children i've been the director for 20 years

and have been an educator in the city for 40 years and this is teacher crisis is the worse i've seen the city norman if we put an ad out for a teacher 10 to 20 applications zero resumes this legislation is essential and i want to thank preston that has done an offered amazing support for the teachers at 1.4 teachers were facing homeless they have evictions and i strongly support this legislation we have teachers right now that are driving into the city from vacerville and ann took 3:30 the morning to get here it is really impossible our teachers are afraid of what will happen next and the

children and families the city will be absolutely being affected now and what is ahead is terrifying i holy hope you'll support this legislation and know that is one step among many steps for this serious crisis thank you very much. >> thank you, thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors chair cohen i'm the executive director of the james center we are a new development agency the mission district and provide off-street parking social and meekal support the visitacion valley and serve one youth and children a year we are seeing as

the last speaker said a marked increase in the hardship that our teachers go through i want to talk about the impact on the opportunity community as a whole james town is unique we try to serve the kids as long as potential not just the year we hire our own participants when they're no hostile and support them after they graduate this past year 14 of the state of dissatisfy that graduated from college this is racket most from protecting african-american and latino communities a fairly low graduation rate the reason we support in our paternity and stand-off while they're working for james attain and a piping into the san francisco unified school district of bilingual teachers that have the relationship already because we

come from the community so i'd like hope that you, please help us do what we do and try to stem this community crisis by the way, we're losing teachers and seeing the loss outcomes for the youth thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please come on up in need a water queue up automatically. >> thank you supervisor avalos and all supervisors for your renewal and thank you for the support of this bill i'm with the ancestry providers association i work with providers the centers and family childcare across the city we've been struggling with the wages crisis that effects them knowledge and working here with the children i'm grateful the two speakers before me shared their works i'll go over those findings and reemphasis that early childhood

make half of what the was this are already lower than was this so any workforce supervisor avalos i'm pleased to see they were included with educators all other educators in this bill so thank you and i look forward to your support. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm the president of the non-compliant educators to everything urge my choerld support and thank you for supervisor avalos to bring this pardon first of all, as educators we support this legislation is expands the rights of families of the students that are faced with the affordable crisis, and, secondly, i'm important to us a concrete step that the city can take we hope takes to provide a degree more security for the

educators in the city i'll give you two example really the last week not a week has gone by since i've taken the job in august getting e-mail address from the educators that are facing an out right eviction or translates into an eviction important one teacher and veteran teacher serving 25 years facing an eviction now part of progress and the other from a teacher her living in a critically important field and trying - a computer tech teacher said i'll not know what i'm doing april tloth that legislation will present lots of a degree of security it will serve as a center for our

educators and thank you very much. >> hi, i'm josh i cook for the kids in the preschool and a the chapter for tenderloin one we represent custodians and school secretaries and cafeteria workers and people that do safety inspections it is our mix about $1,700 a month so the crisis is not a secret especially for the members and important we have a little bit of security because we're the folks after school in the morning we keep the kids fed i'm pleased to see the cost workers were included in terms of the ongoing operations with the district it is crucial we be able to support the educators that are serving the classrooms and make sure that the school

itself is running so people can focus on the class thank you very much. >> hi jennifer with the san francisco tenants union and little mapping promotions we wholeheartedly support this legislation and while i wish there was a ban on no eviction by providing community establishment we have similar legislation to protect the families this think an intelligent decision to capitalized it keeps the classrooms stable i support the government interventions to help our vital educators. >> >> next speaker. >> >> afternoon mediating president of the board of education want to express my strong supports for the legislation and thank you to supervisor avalos for breaking and entering it forward at the

at least we can insure our educators work hard with the youth i don't have to face the threat of eviction or losing their home the middle of the school year as president of the brown act board i get to see the schools and this is to be routine by the planning commission, and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote issue that is coming up more and more this morning i was at jean parker long-term supervisor peskin district and the principal told me when we can do to better support the school he didn't say more books or resources do something about the housing crisis we're facing a way that our teachers what live in san francisco and stay without a threat of eviction if we're being asked asked to build the community that are stable that are necessary for all the children to be successful it

takes creative building solving that allows us to have quarters that can create homes here and have establishment and build school communities that you are successful so i'm strongly supportive personally our school board is considering a bill tomorrow evening hope to report back from the entire school district and thank you for the hard work of the folks behind us this is the least we can do and i'll be supportive thank you. >> next speaker >> supervisors thank you, madam chair and supervisors especially supervisor campos and especially for including family chaffering seven hundred and thirty licensed childcare happening half own and half rent the renters are afraid the process of being evicted and

we're provider can and educate the youngest children almost all are working families i don't know how the city will work with the stable quality of the childcare for agriculture division those findings kids you mentioned time we don't have that much time and this is moving if one country's to another and have to have providers and families stay in san francisco thank you, very much i hope we can do that quickly thank you very much. >> next speaker, please. >> my name is michelle sorry. >> and i'm a retired family childcare provider from glen park a program for 33 years this is one of the reasons i can be here when other childcare providers can't you know i'm fortunate to have bought any house when it was

$35,000 in glen park and that allowed me to have lower fees for the kids but so i'm fortunate but just very you know alarmed at how many childcare providers are losing their homes you know the 50 period of time that rent we care for the youngest and often the most vulnerable and so, anyway i want to thank you, very much and especially you supervisor campos for including us thank you. >> thank you supervisors and especially supervisor campos for introducing that i'm depa and in any years of being an eviction defense lawyer i've seen first hand benefits the children bend from the existing law and transitions or calmed the panic

and were able to enter the school system without a crisis in that - i've seen first hand time after time the panic here that people experience when they get an eviction notice and to be able to keep for the entire school community the costs to mitigate that a little bit makes a big difference not all we want to see in terms of of tenant protection but you can do it now to make things a little bit better thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors dean preston district 5 a parent of school-aged children and tenant advocate and thank you supervisor campos for offering this legislation and to the co-sponsoring to supervisor mar for planting the seeds in 2010 hopefully, the board will expand

upon i hope we can come together on that i think everyone recognized the crisis in teacher housing as well as single-family homes sf in san francisco we need to ask ourselves wharf of a city if we can't house our families and can't house our educators while we'll built plans for the affordable housing for educators in the future we need to protect those findings who are affordablely housed doing everything we can as supervisor campos legislation does to protect educators from evictions i want to echo something depa said the enormous amount of stress eviction folks are under and the amount of centers the families and educators are already under even without an

eviction so far educators would low salaries to struggle to afford the city and hard work of taking care of and educating our youth a adding an eviction on top of that makes that stress unbearable and the least we can do make sure that didn't occur and disrupt the school community >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm 101 restraining order less represent the senior action there's an excellent book by the late frank called teacher men an excellent book gives us appreciation for that profession i grew up here and went to various schools to enlivening peabody and george washington we had teachers that had a stake

like by the time my teacher as george washington high school that lives in the community my writing any career as a writer i owe to the entertain the fact teachers are consulting out of town and walking up at 3:30 in the morning they need consideration for the priority why else will they take a job that pays so little unless they see a need for fulfilling a need like that i appreciate supervisor campos for bringing up to legislation and again, please read the book teacher man by frank la court about the thirty years in taken care of in new york city and give you a very poignant graceful sniebt

into teaching in that job. >> good afternoon, supervisors my name is kevin bogus work a nonprofit and san francisco native born and raised i'm here to ask you to support support is it teachers play a vital component in presenting the students and in fear of eviction is something they don't need to suffer an as negative impact and as someone that attended san francisco schools we had a lot of teacher turnover your favorite teacher about varnish has an negative impact on the kids i want to ask you to support this and continue to take steps to prevent the working-class families from being evicted in san francisco

thank you. >> afternoon supervisors supervisor avalos thank you for this legislation my name is a connie ford the vice president of the council no way i'm here to represent the council fully behind this legislation a beautiful and wonderful piece of legislation we're trying to entrap emil with the economic disparities in san francisco i thought i'll tell you both of my children were born and raised and went through public schools i remember the day any girls kindergarten teacher had to leave it broke her heart she didn't want to go to school i have a granddaughter going to betsey carmichael is in love with her teacher if he left

it would be hard to pick up the pieces so children who need the support and love not only of their families but of their institutions so we're grateful for this legislation to keep over families together and to keep our schools supporting our children so thank you very much for this. >> thank you thank you connie my colleagues reminded me how heartbroken i would be yes, ma'am ma is one year ahead of me (laughter) sorry fred go ahead. >> i love the small towns i'm sarah from human rights committee we were a kid we had to move around and most years my parents were able to wait for

the summers i remember the awful year i was behind on everything. >> and how much i was bullied in school a new place that was totally different and hundreds of families with kids it come into our office with the human rights committee and it is really scary to help them fight evictions and the choices to take care of their children and the status show that moving the middle of the year and pulling u pulled out in general sets kids back months in schooling increases the risk of smoking before their 18 and increases the risk of teen suicide i don't think that is too much to ask the lrpdz left hand to

wait for a no fault eviction i wish the kids could stay no matter what when it was about money but we don't seem to be able to do that so let's help the children. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors and chair malia cohen my former student with katie tang we could have a reunion one of the beautiful things of being in a big town smaller city to retain the communities between classrooms and teachers and other school staff when people can afford to stay in town so back in ancient 1985 i taught with a nice studio apartment

the public works code to have been xhfblt with the stormwater permit supervisor wiener is the author i believe a few opening remarks thank you, colleagues this ordinance updates the san francisco stormwater management for the returning requirement to insure the controls are consistent with requirements of california state law the ordinance updates and modernize which kinds of projects that trigonometry of compliance with stormwater the san francisco stormwater giles are an solution to make sure the new developments in the city deal with stormwater onsite and in doing so minimize the contribution of stormwater to the sewer system this minimize the discharge of contaminated water into the bay and from the

san francisco public works is here with a brief presentation. >> all right. thank you for that introduction thank you, supervisors for having us to r here to talk about the stormwater i'm sarah i work with the sfpuc the water shed policy with the projection and programs to implement the green water structure to manage the stormwater i'll briefly talk about the ordinance that has achieved in the first 6 years and the drivers of the supervisors original in 20104 thousand

square feet and the stormwater management ordinance requires that projects implement green infrastructure to manage stormwater on site we have a couple of conditions the city that merits the stormwater management the sewer our concerns to treat the san francisco entertainment commission before that is in combined with the system areas we want to slow down the water for the commissioner makras to the system the first 6 years of implementation we've had two hundred and 40 projects and one and 4 final approvals and as you can see that the ordinance is really having a positive impact on the urban sheds you'll see the pictures in the presentations are all projects succinct to the we're getting urban habitat and removing millions of gallons from the system

getting great projects with green garden and other tools today's briefly is really about the amendments that are proposed to consensus the regulatory experience with the new new permit requirements from the water control before do that is issued every 5 years and a analysis to see what changes to remain in compliance where we had the opportunity for feedback if stakeholders and so we're using this update to also implement our lessons learned as well as coming into compliance the main changes to know about the changing trerd in 2010 small promotions blow 5 thousand square feet were not regulated in this new all the time projects between 25 hundred and 5 thousand square feet will be regulated per the permit this will only be applied the

separate sewer areas we believe this will have a low impact overall the other important change is the change in threshold language in 2010, the language was based on ground disturbance now we're replying that the creation and imperfect surface clarifies the language in alignment what the boards language our analysis really shows this won't make a huge distance but fewer open space projects for the stormwater maintenance those main changes we want to brought to your attention thank you for letting me speak and any questions i'll be happy to take your questions. >> thank you very much any questions for elizabeth no okay in case we'll go to public comment on item number one

legislation that is long overdue to reform, restructure and sitting improve the cities process in other words, to make the buildings safer and a crack down on code violator to make sure that people are living in habitable december sent housing to remove nuisances and create a revolving loan fund to help people correct code violations they impact the neighborhoods and recipient all over the city we all every one of us seen buildings with boarded up windows and broken stairs and major incomplete construction work that is there for years obvious extreme hoarding and portions of buildings that are missing those extreme and obvious violations can sometimes last for years without

correction without enforcement and they can lead to serious hazards for occupants and neighbors we have also seen situations where construction projects are not voigt or not complying with the codes we want safe buildings this important for neighborhoods and residents particularly for tenants forced to live in below standard conditions and violations and code enforcement too often inspections occur but unfortunately, no action or extremely late action by city departments repeated complaints about inflated conditions and too often property owners incur the violations and any violations to enforce against them the complicate system lacks

the coordinates and communication amongst the city departments that leads significant gaps and albeit and follow through in addition the departments are reluctant to pursue the enforcement because of funds the last 5 years we've seen referrals to city attorney very widely from year to year or across departments continue 2010 and 2015 for example, the department of building inspection made 87 refers to litigation and the health department u public health department 56 and the fire department 2 and the planning department 4 referrals that is difficult to track what is going on with the buildings and complaints the system is not working for the neighborhood for the residents along with supervisor cowen a year or year and a half ago i

held an oath hearing when the building and health fire and planning department all recorded on their code enforcement with the recommendation how to improve the system after the hearing showed a lot of work that needed to happen i began to work on prevention which is now before the committee today, the legislation is broad impacting our building code and fire code and heeding and provides better coordination and stronger enforcement tools i want to thank jeff in any office for working on this and arrestgraphy debris as well is it creates a unified code process for the dbi and the fire department and the department of health including the deadlines for issuance of

administration action and problematic cases to the city attorney's office they did did not have different timelines and limitations on whether the visioning even have to be issued we need to set strongest standards of accountability it improves the cooperation cross the departments and the system we based the progress on one employed by the department of building inspection this is a good model for registering the complaint and specifically the process will when the department official as an inspector determines a condition renders the structure or building unsafe they need to serve a notice of violation they must serve one within 15 days the code violation is not corrected or a significant process is not made the case b will be referred to a

administrative hearing at the hearing the hearing officer shall either determine the violations is have been abated or issue a written order that specifics the scope of work and the timeline to be implemented it shall not steady one and 80 days notice the use of the word shall we've no longer the discretionary uses but this process will move along once our deadline has passed the case can be referred to the city attorney's office if not brought into compliance there are a few slight derivatives between the codes to count the very well procedures for example, the fire department is never been required to issue a notice of violation and not required to hold an administrative hearing but a notice of corrections not part

of fire code so lack any enforcement mechanism and generally, the fire department is not held the enforcement hearing while the requirement of noigdz will change how the fire department practices enforcement i believe it is necessary we create a true process for insuring abatement of violations the fire department handles a eventual good news amount of violations some significant and some minor two tier did violations priority complaints that are safety issues and egress and other issues must be addressed those are treated by the mandatory process and second cart for the fire department of standard complaints more minor exclaims so far those complaints the department will have a window of would restraining order one and 80 days to allow

for corrections before that an administrative hearing this will give the fire department the flexibility and making sure the process move forward so the legislation in addition board of supervisors the city attorney and grants the city attorney the authority to file lawsuits without deadlines action or exhalation of the administrative processes that applies to the department of building inspection deducting and fire department and planning department currently the city attorney can only take action against seerlt code violators if it is retired to the city attorney's office as we've seen many, many times the departments appear to be hesitance to refer to the city attorney's office and it takes them so long to refer that the

violations are stale and, of course, of course, a report by the city attorney's office as i've described earlier shows a number of referrals by each department and varies drastically of the departments and with the planning department and others fire department in particular referring to extremely few cases additional times the city attorney gets a case referred through one department but then can't pursue violation by at departments for example, a dbi referred the case to the city attorney is it may turn out there are frier code violation not addresses under the law the city attorney can't include those under this ordinance the city attorney's office can hold all violations into one lawsuit and not by with an department or another has failed to refer a case for litigation

in in this case each department will be billed separately orders homelessness violations and referral not be charged with the work contributed to other departments that didn't make referrals this allows the city attorney to proactively go after the code violation is establishes a quarterly report for all departments and each report includes every single case that is referred. an administrative hearing or an outstanding order specifically the department shall report whether the issue was resolved along with the costs paid and the matter has been or will be referred to the city attorney for review or other explanation of how the matter is handled this will insure the cases don't linger and the public has full transparent at the various departments
