the statute of limitations then have to have a case should didn't, she was discriminated against the law the president signed - but even with that law passed women have still on this aribnb $0.79 on this dollar and woman of color is less it was $0.77 when the president's signed we need more legislation called the affair - what is it called the bill important equal pay fairness thank you and what that does it prohibited employers from sdrooiment begins in the event you share your pay that's how you found out. >> it is interesting i've spent time on the campaign trail with bernie sanders the most

commissioner hasz is he said women want the whole damn dollar and men in the audience men in the audience you want it for them two and the men go crazy now that's a particular kind of progressive audience; right? how important to get men and women to work together and make your case for the employer. >> right this is a good question i'm so happy to see an audience full of women and a few men brave men have to be a part of conversation the reason it is important to men, women now comprise half hour the workforce working moms are the sole breadwinners in many households to the income is more important so those issues are important not only to the women but the family and the economy we have

got to pull that wage gap we'll all be better off more money disposalable and spend that money and that creates more jobs good for the economy and businesses and women we are encouraging businesses to do is to just do a survey look at our books figure out whether or not you're paying people equally request a asterisk company is it fair to say and benioff presumed he was paying everyone equal and the employees said a we're not and a $3 million skrerg we are challenging the employers to figure out whether or not you're paying equally if you pay equally in addition to being good for you the economy our workforce will be more loyal you're going to have less turnover that applies to the

basket of working issue equals pay workforce flexibility and paid sick leave and paid. >> what about family and paid sick leave the president at the submit if you didn't go to it you'll find it online and great videos one of the things the president's talked about the role of men and he said our policies are straight out of mad men that people agriculture straight out of stone age. >> it is ridiculous to think we're the only development country the only one that didn't have a federal paid sick leave policy that is ridiculous we have children that get sick and parents and we get sick and does not have a national requirements paid sick leave another bill the

health families that requires every family for eligible for 7 days of paid sick leave if you're sick i don't want you in my office prep my food at the water cooler i mean stay home if you can't afford to stay home and 43 million americans don't have a single sick day they're forced in the position between choosing between making a living they have to make and staying home and taking care of themselves they can't afford to lose a day pay and if they stay home they may get fired and locally we're having a harder time competing for talent because everyone in the world

and in new york a great company they now have 12 months of ma tenacity and maternity sick leave and don't have to taj mahal take it all at one time because in sweden 18 months to attract people to work at the companies they found out the private sector and the government right here with mayor ed lee are fourthly that there are a workforce would be more productive more efficient and loyal less turn over in the private sector more profitable if you invest in our workforce that's the challenge what is does it take for the 21st century workplace to reflect the needs and values of the 21st century worker this is different than the stone age. >> america is the only

civilized destroy country that has sick and others like neugen i didn't and we don't want to be comprehensive with that. >> companies can't afford that. >> sure they can this is what we dispelled at the submit two years ago you hear maybe that is fine for the big companies like apple but the smaller companies can't afford we brought in a group of small businesses to talking to talk about the policies what i heard interestingly won't surprises some of us those empires care about the culture they know the family workers and someone child is sick or the parent is elderly or have the stresses outside of their home and care about the arithmetic of your workers they said it is an investment in that

case itself over several fold we need to dispel the rumor you can't afford it what is better asset in a global warming comprehensive world planning than the human assets that's what you got you should have a round of applause. >> we know the role of government and how hard you've worked and the president pushed for them understanding that government a could not do everything and not get to where a lot of women feel they need to get to what do we do how about us people struggling to make ends meet or struggling with childcare or going to work sick what do you do. >> it is had a right we often talked about the fact disprorpgsz women are locking

workers not choices you can speak up and have your voices heard. >> i want to interpret something you said you had a boss when you are that in corporate law that looked at you. >> yes. i did. >> i was able to side things you wouldn't other wise and i'm always single mom when my daughter was growing up i needed flexibility with media eternity leave and partners with children a four months paid maternity policy that was enprecedent thirty years ago i take advantage of that policy i looked at people who were partners in the firm that take advantage of it a lot of companies might have a good policies but the culture you don't feel you can take advantage so i think that is really important 3 companies adopt those policies walk the walk so mark zuckerberg's takes

a maternity leave and he's one of the most successful people i can go home and spend time with my child what we're seeing more men are feeling a sense of responsibility to participate in the care giving that is good for the guys and recognizing that the younger generation will be healthy and more productive if we invest in that way so part of what you can do is to raise your voices if you can i'm not saying if you think you absolutely know your no a situation you can't say that that to your boss be partnering in sessions like in and vote for people that support this kind of practices you want that's the best form of citizenship the fact that unions

only represent 7 perishes of private sector workforce that people's voices are often unheard they don't have collective bargaining it is harder you feel this you feel power less but in a position i know a lot of women i've known that could have spoken up and didn't if you don't do it for yourselves do it for your colleagues. >> i'm cancerous this is yet - >> that deserves commissioner hasz commissioner hasz honestly how many of you are lucky enough to have a vacation don't take all their vacation time - >> wow, wow so part of it operationally is on paper and part of it cultural rights part is okay what again, you look around.

>> - ii think what i did on my vacation time - >> the paid leave is different and right. >> we tried to do in the white house for example, you consecutive a high place to work we work around the clock but the presidents sets the tone and cultural if you have a baby take our 3 months paid leave we'll save our spot when you come back you can hit the ground running and welcoming yesterday one of my top depths had a fever i was not happy we made her sit in siberia in the office but welcome to come in if she walked out in the middle of the meeting i want her to want to come to work she's threatened if they are baby is sick i know she

didn't want to leave him bring him into the office keep him away from me. >> if you want to picture with barack obama bring your baby to the office. >> if you want to go online to google the obama babies you'll see the babies in the overhead office. >> that's a baby whisper the first lady holding a baby he takes the baby and the baby is silly and the look on her face is radio you kidding me how does that work this is a segue the smarter dinner you ever went to we wanted to figure out how valerie got to be valerie i've read about it you were looking

to hire someone and her first maim was michelle she wanted to bring here fiance and his name was barack obama and that was 25 years ago. >> 25 years this month i think june. >> so i was mayor details chief of staff and worked in a law firm and took maternity leave it is miserable and said i'm going to get up and leave any baby and i honest was doing what my parents thought was great my family was proud i was moishlt itself left the beautiful offense in chicago and

lake michigan and sail boats in the summer i went to work in city hall and my office turn out to be a urgent care news a hiring i loved my example four years later i left the law department i enjoyed and mayor promoted me i was looking at for non-talented people to staff the mayor's office and someone sent me a write and said can't stand a law firm that's my person that was michelle robison and you're right i was in a 20 minute interview an hour later she mesmerized me she was saying let

me get back to you a few days later we were talking about i said what do you think i was talking it over with when i if acy and - she said would you be willing to have dinner with us we had a very long interesting dinner i got a sense of them individually and collectively i hope they got a sense of me in the end she worked for me, the rest is history. >> well the rest is history. >> (clapping.) >> it's been said this is an awkward question but what it was said you were the first person to see the police potential in him it was you all along said

this is something you need to do beyond the community organizer. >> oh. >> that would be a good thing to claim there are too many people my claim to family i tried to talk him out of returning for the u.s. senate that didn't workout he didn't listen to anything 24 was a life lesson that he ran against congressman bobby rush and lost and a couple years ago later said he was thinking about running my first lady organized this and designed to talk him out of this race we were on script and the first day he said talk him out of running so the brunch not only absolutely i guess you should run - >> (laughter). >> then he said you'll not raise

money. >> he said you'll chair my finance committee i did at first tell him what if you allows. >> he said why are you afraid of failure if i losses i'll try something else. >> i was busy warrior for him you have to be calculated but i did recognize to get some credit when i first met him, i remember thinking what an extremely young anyone mann who is trying to figure out mostly is how to make a difference and at that point didn't have any idea he was a lawyer not entered politics but i feel like given much and do something they wanted to do something in the public service

i was heartened to see people that could start a company and in the private sector both be committed even at that early age to the public good i think this is a wonderful thing. >> as interventions that explicit workout the way. >> it did workout not the way i planned. >> failure is an important thing i'll tell you a quick story when i he was young on television and my boss said he was taking me off the air i didn't have it. >> i said well, what is it. >> he expected me to capri i said what it it. >> he said you don't have pa and now to months later i was

gone you got the corner office and so that wasn't for you. >> there are different kinds of failure i don't like it word. >> i have in the middle of a divorce i thought i have hard on myself for reasons he can't understand all those years later we have to give ourselves a break it is okay to fail and this is not a reflection. >> how do you get through. >> you get up every single day and keep on trying i think; right? >> (clapping.) >> that's what you do and it is hard i don't want to sugar coat is divorce is one of the hardest things that was hard on me i state - i married to the boy

next door but my mother grew up with his mother and my grandmother with his grandmother what could go wrong with that situation? a lot it for a second me a a long time to come to terms and not feel that was a revenues on me it just didn't work and didn't have to be you know a value judgment on either one of him a value judgment on him but - >> (laughter). a little bit. >> (laughter) >> that's the father of our daughter we're talking about. >> terrible, terrible but my point to you you'll say that bad things had happen if you don't fail at something you're not expanding beyond our comfort zone far enough i'm encouraging people to try and then when you fail that is a bit

of is stereotype men tend to fail i didn't fail did i they're back up and sometimes we fail you can't take it to heart you have to asking act like you did why shouldn't i be on tv turn out he was dead wrong but maybe something constructive to tell you you have to hear something that is painful and learn and try to do better that's what makes life on have you ever seen adventure first of all, the longevity is incredible i thought i worked hard until i went to the who have it is not 24/7 but 24/7 on stare resides the number of issues is haiti

didn't didn't - how do you do it for 7 and a half years do you sleep. >> (clapping.) >> sleep is over rated this is look purifying timing is everything we were talking earlier can you handle it all in life it depends on our leverage if you stand at your ended to take on this job my daughter was in law school i'm single i didn't have a lot of responsibilities other than myself and the president and first lady are two of my dearest friends that was as it goes as easy as circumstances to ago on and take on this incredible opportunity i love my job i've

had jobs i didn't love and so it makes you treasure one you love more so and have the privilege of serving our country that is the greatest country on earth a 12r50er8d so i would be so upset if you were back home in chicago looking at what is happening in washington rather than being there and only 6 more months you can do anything for 6 more months. >> i want to ask about 6 more months that's the coolest thing you got to do what's the coolest thing. >> i'll tell you i'm not sure how to define cool. >> you got a certify that says. >> you've been on air force one. >> one thing that was sxeerd i went to india with a letter from

president obama to inclusive to the dolby latin-american ma. >> in washington like my buddy with the dolby latin-american ma. >> we were hanging out when he was 80 with a huge birthday party this was a diplomatic mission i was kind to spend 2 1/2 hours talking about his life he returned from europe and in his late san jose and talking about the situation in china and he's a enjoy full spirit that's been living basically, all living in india in exile for 50 years and with a enjoy joyful spirit over the hill and plan

and changes and automobiles but an unusual mission and it was one where the president was trying to signal something important i was the messenger it was really cool. >> (clapping.) >> i have to say i've seen you standing out where the point is coming out into the rose garden. >> so the president comes out to the rose garden you'll see members of the staff when it is really big a supreme court decision about gay marriage you see the which can is ticking 6 more months i see a relax in the president and some of the staff members we've done there is also this idea that six months from now seven months from now the power you have goes away is

there a pressure or something you'll say please god let me get this done. >> there are a number of things on the bucket list that makes it magical every day i'm spending time on the criminal justice system reform we're trying so hard - . >> (clapping.) >> thank you. i'm so glad you feel that way it is so important we spend $80 billion a year on the criminal justice system and have 5 percent of the worlds population and 25 percent of those krartsd 2. 2 million people in prison and 70 million people with a criminal backyard and problems in the community that creates a pathway they disproportionately effects people of color and minimum

offenses for non-violent offenses it is working its way i'm optimistic we have a coalition the aclu and coke brothers both working on something and bipartisan in current system is unsustainable we're trying to get that down or done but at the same time, we're doing what we can to help people as they come out prepared to enter society 6 hundred thousand people are released and the best way to keep them from going back give them a job give them a job. >> (clapping.) >> i'm going to never be invited back we can talk to you forever i was struck at the end of the comment one of the last things the president said we have to tell your story before

michelle obama or rosa parks or billy jean king what do you want people to takeaway whatever age or where every on the corporate ladder the part of your story. >> well, i would have never been expecting to talk to you to the senior advisor of president president of the united states and not aspire high enough i want young people to know you can don't sell yourselves short and building in yourselves and give it the best and be open to changing pathways i think that everybody when i was younger had a straight path up ventured off that and left that corner office that was the harder thing i accident but particularly to young people you get a lot of advise i give out a lot of

advise i can tell you a book full of advise maybe one day a book full of advise. >> you won't dish on the president and the first ladies. >> you don't dish on your friends if you, you do you're not a friend part of what i want young people to know there be infinity possibilities i have a lot of advantages two apartments that loved me a great education i didn't have the confidence in myself and paving shy this was hard to believe never, never have stood up and talked to a crowd a third of this size and kept on being thrown into situation i was uncomfortable and you get for comfortable try it you may like if it you don't

do something else the surest way home is the long path i'm glad i took the long path. >> senior advisors to president obama thank you. >> thank you, very much. >> thank you and thank you and thank you . >> (clapping.) >> thank you, mr. mayor >> (clapping.) >> and no to take us into the next sect the chief operating over for the kaiser permanente janet ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> good afternoon. i have to say that kaiser permanente is very fortunate to be able to sponsor many conferences across northern california we're i am principles to, with you all

you guys a talk and bringing up awesome copes and i bring up my own computer and let me do that i'll be sharing with you some clips along the way of one video clip my message to you is that men are actively ready and willing to fight for gender quality in numbers that is importantly go building it is true i know wait until you hear any story i want to tell you but my backward in the 10 years in the field on cnn one of the biggest thank a back checker and apparently campaigns is a modern of time job i want to be on the debates so have a buzzer and none will get to talk

like a paper weight to put on top of wanted buzz eerie became a dad when i became a dad becoming a parent is trauma to everyone that has to experience a universe you're responsible sforp in any families case it was the drama was - here 7 days i like to should this picture that was a nightmare but buffalo it is the story of humanity we innovative and adapt and create here a year later no scare; right? but yeah, that is amazing thank you to all doctors when i became a dad, i first time suddenly cared about money not cared about money you can tell i graduated from yale and went to work for mp r i was a

dad oh, now someday college at the time the more i worked the more i was on cnn i of these doing 12 or 14 hours days i was working on 4 afghanistan and cook zircon and take him for walks and not mentally present then baby two and a major drama he and my wife skipped labor they fell to the floor of the bedroom and stuff was out into my hands i saw his heads and his eyes shooting shut and the umbilical cord i spent a summer i remember a tiny bit of time. >> tatoui thank you for what you're doing yeah . >> (clapping.) >> so this is why i have this

up here i don't share that it took any more than a year i shared some of my 9-1-1 calls with any friend at cnn doctor gop to i'll play that from hln. >> so the baby is completely out. >> no, on the the head. >> it's not crying. >> have her to push hard. >> push hard push hard. >> i'm holding my baby and the you mean bilateral - oh, the baby breathing. >> all the exception that did happened happened to any family here's the result of that has

and progressions it with the experience he should great i for the first time in that moment i didn't care about money but life and family i cared about connection and love and i don't want to miss any of the momentums ever that is mentally present silvers physical i started landmarking for a company had i did seethes i was interviewing a group of dads that is the number one thing i point down there - so we aired this this of the number one thing on the cnn news blog i got called i calls from media wanting to interview me i had to fought i came to understand po

that none talked about real dads and in real life we're not stereotyped what are your worries and economic concerns the tough that the solo working parents and all those things normal conversations we're blowing people's minds they never saw that on tv and what really blew their minds how the check the methodologies behind studies to find out what is going on and true and false i started talking about dads spending 3 hours are kids and they care for them in ever major category and by way of on the second point totally blow out stereotyped the black father's go with their children or the most involved none knows those things code compliant. >> my job is two easy that

information is in any book charley in the new york times is it so twisted a guy like that the point basic facts of fathers was unknown than women now i'm covering fatherhood and all of a sudden a switch i became the dad in the news my wife was breaking and entering with the thirds child i was needed another home for childcare that was a normal thought dads do childcare we're stuck in the past and laws are in the passport the laws at cnn was past everyone can get 10 paid leave for child except a man that gets he's wife breaking

and entering if another person - if a third go person a - a domestic partner that adopted a partner but not adopt the baby i can get 10 weeks to care for the child but not mine that was an oversight no way for this to happen but no answer and then because of my family drama and 35 weeks the symptoms were scary the baby had to come out from the hospital will i get the time or not no answer and ultimately i the baby was born and 11 days i'm home molding my baby and the work said no only two weeks not 10 everything else in high book you can read about it i'll tell you about that that

what i announce i was taking legal action the responses blew me away a floodgates of love that's in sign language okay. >> (laughter). that was awesome so i felt i had unleashed a gate of love and it came from women's and dads from and it came from sxheefrts and liberals and media all of a sudden i was back to when i was covering fatherhood what is so interesting about my case and that's when i came to understand we're all ♪ together what we have oh, the book i was devolving into this any publisher by way of is right here in san francisco harding park one thank you for being

there with me so my agent roger based out of here i can say i said their names he is buzz picking up his daughter i wanted to understand what about any case is too important important i came to understand what we have in the country is stigmas that are in the workplace that push women to stay at home and men at work i came to understand you can't treat the symptoms this is the cause it is madmen so this is literally in the 1950s we were coming out of war and the economy of what it was to be americans in a successful men and women and it was so strictly gender very clear woman baby home and men at work so for

example, as you may know it is a tremendous privilege to have oversight childcare you'll come back to work and pay more for oversight childcare but if it is agree financial why do zero businesses have it, it is the way our work culture was designed men at work women at home with babies we have our policies bye bye far the biggest thing that holds usz us back is stigmas men face loss of their jobs when they put family first a man has a baby gets more money only applies to those men who show their bosses that work is more important than family they stay there extra hours men to

this day a raised up this ranks for sitting at the desks for more hours we're sending the merging message that work is more important men have faced accomplishment a guy in the book he was born - he only amazed missed a couple of days his boss called him into the office don't you, you know we no idea you around here that basis bos what a pregnant women not that many bosses in general are women but rare times women are willing to tap into the norms and guys are accomplished it is connected and bad for businesses i organ those events we get men to talk about the work conflicts that that in

turn talks about a huge difference this is one of the biggest reasons a big incentive and u.s. men are moving to another country for more time w that was found and seen the statistics men are leaving in their jobs and not talking about why businesses are losing greatest employees that is brain drain men and women are leaving their jobs and businesses are losing phenomenal people that is hurting all of use it is expensive to replace an employee global world i'd so men in maternity leave is it is unused because of stigmas getting rid of of the stigmas until we do that we'll not have equal

opportunities my children will feel into a madman work cultural 20 years ago from now and my daughter will not have the option to stay at home and one other thing it is my industry that blouse it presenting the wrong idea about dads this is a strong example another jerpd gap men spend more time in leisure activities and jumps on the lazy dads it operationally is anti dads stereotyped i know that sounds backward this is false the recorded spends more time the study says on average the dad spends more 20 minutes on leisurely sport and women spends more time on sleep and the number of hours with the day

work and caregivers theirs quality but people believe that why give a man maternity leave keep the woman at home he'll drink a beer and keep him at work all the backward ideas are the same thing the flip coin of the privilege against women women shouldn't work their ways up in range and the men should not get maternity leave make them stop and this is the last thing this is a guy in any book it lives in san francisco mark and i met him evident at any table in the hotel he works 3 jobs he sees his kids when their asleep the same structures we need living wages and transportation and the ability to tackle men are suffering so

we have an opportunity when we starts talking about this allows conflict the men want the opportunity to care for their children bring that out into the light we see how we really are in this and guys talk about guys are afraid to talk about that they'll unintentionally say something offense i start out with male events and they bring in a few women and men feel comfortable and end with this what was yours first dream not the first overnight but the aspiration people say we want to commend be an ass not or a firefighter they're wrong the first dream that we all had was the same one it was to be held

and loved and explore this amazing world whatever with love in our lives and look inside the baby it is primal we're used to this the first dream what we're here we get lost in the forest for the trees for the initial things let's remember how what we're here to talk about value and love exists i said earlier innovation it the story of humanity it's only half the story by maybe more than half the other part that we love and might be your children or parents you're taking care of it would be your friends that you love to do make sure you have love in your life so putting it altogether into one is simple this is what it is

to be all in thank you very much everyone >> (clapping.) >> thank you. >> and so, now we're going to bring the awesome panelist i want to talk about them we have powerful comes up their phenomenal by the way, everyone link in with me link in with everyone those couples that will be joining us power comes up and exceptionally in the segment factor and fiscal year on gender quality and their charities are incredible the first are the kohlman's and kent was was one of the first african-american in the tech world to work at hewitt

packard in 1972 worked in silicon valley and lost his start up and she was one of the first black tech chairman and served on the nonprofit silicon valley foundation and i have spoken to them and founder quote they frankly are key mentor to the successors of women and people of color in silicon valley let's give them a round of applause. >> (clapping.) >> and our second couple rita and michigan they have an amazing set of experience they may be seated with i mitch was the head of a corporation rita was brought in for the organizational development he mind lotus to you be progressive she started to make that happen

and ever since that's how they you were married and the center for social impact and created staurpts and have welcoming cultural that are from the start and talking about the levels a big round of applause for them. >> hi, everybody how are you doing. >> i'm making sure as i talk about to you i'll nodded weigh in on the genetics i'll start with the kohlman's i want to talk about successes it is what has worked you have incredible successes now we're here bringing the men into the

forest so one of you tell us about a moment you had secretary in getting men vofdz. >> for me back into the first moment but a powerful one that is when i was at my first startup in the 1980s and working with two co-founder one male and female the difference the lens is so different it shared by those two perspectives and as a result we had i was there very early we have eventually more than half the population of our company was female but not only that half of the executive staff and the management team was female and that just stuck with me and sort of incited me as i've gone through the career. >> an example of a great experience getting men involved

♪ effort >> there are so many i want to echo what what was said about the 80s for those of you not born or in diapers in the 80s the rest of us were in about corporate american tech was more diverse so i think finding how that was undone is part of what is here but you know, i can think back to starting divided counseling in 1984 at lotus rich was the ceo we had men and women and people of color we had out gay representation in 1984 so all of those were shared issues shared problems how we're going to make

lotus the most progressive employer in the u.s. >> it is interesting that is a lot of undoing what happened since then and mitch talk that how we undo it. >> i think - we're placing our emphasis at this point on working with the new generation ever startups that are going to bake in diversity and exclusion right from the outset we admire and support the afternoon of the tech the google's and facebooks to conservator their miserable numbers but some or so successful they don't have the motivation they mites otherwise have we're realistic and being ocean lineers hard to turn around in the bay area a new

ad backs and like always, there's always going to be more needs and not enough money so it was difficult to always make that decision of what we want to support and what we don't. we want to support everything, but we have limited funding. i think the cover my second out of this was a very good compromise. we worked real hard to make sure that nobody was left behind. maybe we wanted to push certain issues but we all figured it out. so, thank you chairman farrell f working with everybody to make sure that we could have a conference of budget that could make our city better. thank you very much >> thank you supervisor yee. supervisor weiner >> thank you mr. chair and again mr. chair i want to really thank you for your

to zero which is a monumental undertaking. something that was unimaginable even at few years back and once again it's what keeps san francisco not just on the cutting edge, but creating models for addressing ultimately and ending the hiv epidemic that can be exported around the country and around the world. the budget package is $3.1 million. the mayor put in $600,000. this board of supervisors has put in the other $2.5 million. that's 100% funding this plan. the plan is great but without the funding attached to it it can't do what we need it to do. i want to thank personally and publicly thank chairman farrell for his incredible support in making the getting the funding possible and for having the back of the lgbt community. so, thank you to everyone. this is a good budget.

>> hi today we have a special edition of building san francisco, stay safe, what we are going to be talking about san francisco's earth quakes, what you can do before an earthquake in your home, to be ready and after an earthquake to make sure that you are comfortable staying at home, while the city recovers. ♪

>> the next episode of stay safe, we have alicia johnson from san francisco's department of emergency management. hi, alicia thanks to coming >> it is a pleasure to be here with you. >> i wonder if you could tell us what you think people can do to get ready for what we know is a coming earthquake in san francisco. >> well, one of the most things that people can do is to make sure that you have a plan to communicate with people who live both in and out of state. having an out of state contact, to call, text or post on your social network is really important and being able to know how you are going to communicate with your friends, and family who live near you, where you might meet them if your home is uninhab hitable. >> how long do you think that it will be before things are restored to normal in san francisco. >> it depends on the severity

of the earthquake, we say to provide for 72 hours tha, is three days, and it helps to know that you might be without services for up to a week or more, depending on how heavy the shaking is and how many after shocks we have. >> what kind of neighborhood and community involvement might you want to have before an earthquake to make sure that you are going to able to have the support that you need. >> it is important to have a good relationship with your neighbors and your community. go to those community events, shop at local businesses, have a reciprocal relationship with them so that you know how to take care of yourself and who you can rely on and who can take care of you. it is important to have a battery-operated radio in your home so that you can keep track of what is happening in the community around and how you can communicate with other people. >> one of the things that seems important is to have access to your important documents. >> yes, it is important to have copies of those and also stored them remotely. so a title to a home, a

passport, a driver's license, any type of medical records that you need need, back those up or put them on a remote drive or store them on the cloud, the same is true with any vital information on your computer. back that up and have that on a cloud in case your hard drive does not work any more. >> in your home you should be prepared as well. >> absolutely. >> let's take a look at the kinds of things that you might want to have in your home. >> we have no water, what ar we going to do about water? >> it is important for have extra water in your house, you want to have bottled water or a five gallon container of water able to use on a regular basis, both for bathing and cooking as well as for drinking. >> we have this big container and also in people's homes they have a hot water heater. >> absolutely, if you clean your hot water heater out regularly you can use that for showering, drinking and bathing

as well >> what other things do people need to have aren't their home. >> it is important to have extra every day items buy a couple extra cans of can food that you can eat without any preparation. >> here is a giant can of green giant canned corn. and this, a manual can opener, your electric can opener will not be working not only to have one but to know where to find it in your kitchen. >> yes. so in addition to canned goods, we are going to have fresh food and you have to preserve that and i know that we have an ice chest. >> having an ice chest on hand is really important because your refrigerator will not be working right away. it is important to have somebody else that can store cold foods so something that you might be able to take with you if you have to leave your home. >> and here, this is my very own personal emergency supply box for my house. >> i hope that you have an alternative one at home. >> oh, i forgot. >> and in this is really

important, you should have flashlights that have batteries, fresh batteries or hand crank flashlight. >> i have them right here. >> good. excellent. that is great. additionally, you are going to want to have candles a whistle, possibly a compass as well. markers if you want to label things if you need to, to people that you are safe in your home or that you have left your home. >> i am okay and i will meet you at... >> exactly. exactly. water proof matches are a great thing to have as well. >> we have matches here. and my spare glasses. >> and your spare glasses. >> if you have medication, you should keep it with you or have access to it. if it needs to be refrigerated make sure that it is in your ice box. >> inside, just to point out for you, we have spare batteries. >> very important. >> we have a little first aid kit. >> and lots of different kinds of batteries.

and another spare flashlight. >> so, alicia what else can we do to prepare our homes for an earthquake so we don't have damage? >> one of the most important things that you can do is to secure your valuable and breakable items. make sure that your tv is strapped down to your entertainment cabinet or wall so it does not move. also important is to make sure that your book case is secure to the wall so that it does not fall over and your valuable and breakables do not break on the ground. becoming prepared is not that difficult. taking care of your home, making sure that you have a few extra every-day items on hand helps to make the difference. >> that contributes dramatically to the way that the city as a whole can recover. >> absolutely. >> if you are able to control your own environment and house and recovery and your neighbors are doing the same the city as a whole will be a more resilient city. >> we are all proud of living in san francisco and being prepared helps us stay here. >> so, thank you so much for

joining us today, alicia, i appreciate it. >> absolutely, it is my pleasure. >> and thank you for joining us on another edition of building >>[gavel] >> good afternoon and welcome to the local agency formation commission. i'm john avalos chair of the commission joined by the right by vice chair commissioner cynthia crews and to my left eric mar. mr. clerk please share with us your announcements >> [inaudible] coffee but from memory, please sounds all cell phones and electronic devices. if you wish to speak or have a documents to provide to the

commission, please provide it for the clerk into the inclusion of the file. >> thank you. today's meeting is broadcast by sfgtv staff. jesse larson and charles clement. thank you for your service. mr. clerk, looks like we've we've done the rollcall. if you could please actually, yet a couple of commissioners absent. do we motion to excuse commissioner campos? will take that without objection >>[gavel] >> we just didn't local. let's go on to the next item >> that motion was to excuse commissioner campos. the motion was made by commissioner mar. seconded by commissioner crews did that motion passes without objection with commissioner campos being absent >> thank you. number two, please >> item number two approval of

sflafco minutes from the may 20, 2016 regular meeting. >> any comments or questions? commissioner chris >> like to move to approve them >> will do that after public comment. will open up public comment on sflafco's minutes. we will close public comment >>[gavel] >> motion from commissioner crews did seconded by commissioner mar dirt will take that without objection should be dick without objection that passes. >> great. >> the agenda item number three resolution to the board of supervisors regarding amendment to sflafco terms. >> okay, so this is a resolution that discusses moving our executive officers position, which is actually terminating i'm not sure what the date is-june 30 continued

for two more years. the continuance of the position will be allowed by resolution, but also would be subject to a decision by sflafco extending funding and the fte by the board of supervisors. so, really, i want to make sure that especially moving through this fiscal year that as we are launching cca, executive officer position can continue. that's super-critical. i also feel that since we spent a great deal of our time on cca, clean power sf, there were in transition right now to look at new projects, that sflafco can pick up long-term, one that we talked about for a number of years have been the municipal fiber program, which is been off and on the topic of

discussion, but not a real long-term topic. i want to make sure that we put something before us very very shortly that could address some of the long-term work that sflafco could you. i believe this other projects that we can pick up as well as an agency and i want to see if those can be explored. so, i'm willing to entertain other ideas that commissioners might have before inserting other ideas and projects that could be for sflafco seconds i support the position for two more years that will be through the fiscal-to the end of the fiscal year 2018. commissioner crews >> i think that it was a few minutes ago we talked about future agenda items and how we could use our executive

director without impacting the work on cca but also making sure there something in the pipeline. i think that possibly at the next meeting i like to bring some ideas forward for other projects. i just want to give myself some to think about it and maybe look at work that other sflafco that are similar to us have done. and you sort of thinking about how we can best utilize the agency. i certainly support expanding mr. breed's context. i'm sorry. it's the position not a contact. and then making sure that we have projects and budget approved through that time if that's appropriate. >> great. i am wondering if there's a little bit of what you might be able to do before

this resolution comes before the board of supervisors. that could be may be sharing just maybe through e-mail with us that would be helpful. because i think we are going to be a lot of questions will be asked about future work that sflafco could do. i think the municipal fiber one that the board will be readily ready to discuss but other things we could throw in the mix as potential work for sflafco in the future but other ideas that come up, i heard, would be preparing the city with long-term plans for sea level rise and some of the infrastructure will have to develop around that. i think that could be a great project. i think other jurisdictions might be looking at similar type of issues and might want to explore what they find perhaps in california. >> what i was thinking was

cal-but he recently and perhaps there was some workshops that were relevant to our sflafco but other sflafco in california were-how they are staff hours and projects and everything are directed to my maybe that would give us some insight into ways we can expand. >> okay. will open the site up for public comment. any member of the public who would like to comment, please come forward. see no one come forward will close public comment. >> >>[gavel] >> will move this recommendation. moved and seconded. will take that without objection. >>[gavel] >>

>> motion to refer without passes without objection with commissioner campos being excused. >> great. let's go on to item number four case >> item number four executive officers report. >> jason breed executive officer. the things i want point out since were meeting today of the leaders chairs provocative not them have our meeting on june 24 did so when next meeting will not be until july 22. i want make sure folks were aware that we don't have a cca update on this agenda because we want to [inaudible] i wanted to a couple quick update on stuff going on. there's a bill called ab- 1530, which doesn't directly impact cca itself but it does the with electricity generation and pass-throughs that occurred. it would impact both pg any and-customers equally. but it does have some issues with it of how setting sometimes they don't like that potentially impact related cca matters. we

are monitoring that i'm and there's also a second oh, and four, ab--11 which would basically limited the cpuc independence from state legislature. right now, there's a firewall put in place and still learning about this just came out. last couple days for me so i'm still learning to try to get my head around it but from what i understand would basically say the cpuc would it potentially stokes this but the state legislature could change our functions and how it works and actually be more treated more like a department that an independent agency. so, there could be some good. but also be very bad that occurs with that. i know there's some advocacy groups out there that are

advocating against it. the constitutional amendment it is already past two thirds by the assembly. it still needs a two thirds vote in the state senate and then would go to the november ballot and when he two thirds of the general public support as well. if not can happen immediately but something that might be worthwhile to pay attention to potentially and come out opposed to if we so desire. ashley came on my later after after we did this i judge it out what the judges determine if there's any action we need to take before the next meeting as far as sending opposed letters to the state senate or anything like that to try and stop it it makes sense for us to use out >> what are the initiatives to do this come from? >> i apologize. i don't have that information with me. i know that some in the audience is a lot more detail on this bill than i do. i would yield to public comment to answer that question. >> okay. commissioner crews. >> not that i haven't spent a lot of time on the california secretary of state website, but when do you know when the filing deadline is for this in terms when it needs to be put on-to go on the november ballot? window would be

finalized? >> i'm assuming in the next month or two women 20 to finalize anything to: about. since it's a state legislator posits it's a slightly different process and i don't know the state processes then i know the signature gathering one. >> thanks. >> okay, thank you. when we hear from the public. public comment. >> good afternoon, commissioners that eric brooks, today on speak on behalf of both energy folks like california for energy choice and public next along around public broadband and internet access because it was the to the bill that your staff just raised. it's actually technical corrections aca-11 because it's for ballot measure. basically, with this bill came from is that it sponsor a summary member mike gâteau, had attempted to put through a measure and failed that would've allowed at&t to

completely dump it where mine service which would have been very bad for a lot of low income people that need their phones. he had previous legislation that actually have divided the cpuc into up into five entities. this legislation will create a ballot measure that we completely open-ended and will allow the legislature, if it wishes, to completely get rid of the california public utilities commission. absolutely. create new agencies to put their responsible is another existing agencies. it would get caught lunch to the legislature to do whatever it wants. in light of the fact that the legislature is heavily influenced by fossil fuel interests and communications interest, for example, in the sp-350, oil limits were completely gutted from the appeal because of money pressure from oil companies, so, were facing a situation where this gets to the ballot and it passes, we will have to engage in a gargantuan effort to make sure we don't end up going out of the fine hand which is the cpuc witches

admittedly be terrible and into the fire of the legislature hacking us to bits. so, i really encourage you to staff follow this carefully. quickly, it won't be too late by next months meeting to deal with this, but you may want to consider special meeting if it looks like this is moving forward me to weigh in on it. thanks. >> i decided i should also mention like i said, this impacts not just clean energy and committee choice. this impacts the public bobbin system. the legislature several years ago also got rid of the ability of local municipalities like ourselves, to form our own franchise agreements and the hard-line on our franchise agreement with communications providers like comcast. now those are state franchises. so on communications as well, we will be throwing control of

these utilities these two communication utilities to the legislature and that to me is a scary prospect at this potential major benefits on both energy and efficient but also as potential disastrous consequences. so, thanks. >> thank you. any of the members of the public would like to comment? seeing none, will close public comment is closed. >>[gavel] >> this is just an information item so we are onto our next item >> item number five, public, members of the public may address the sflafco on matters that are within their jurisdiction and not on today's agenda >> good afternoon commissioners. the mass population, of the giant, upon [inaudible] of active missionary forces leading to total ms. of well-being of having extreme fine way of changing [inaudible] definitely witty expectation for mankind

looking at sea level rise,, open source voting which is one we taken up as well. i think working with commissioner crews to see if other sflafco's are working on projects that might be appropriate here for san francisco might be worthwhile as well. okay, this item is now open up for public comment. future agenda items. see no member of the public, and will close public comments. >>[gavel] >> will go on tour last item >> item number seven, adjournment >> we are adjourned. thank you. >>[gavel] >>[adjournment] >>
