i'm so delighted to have a young family move on o move into the neighborhoods russian hill supports diversities they have activities there four young and oldest families. >> thank you. any others additional speakers ma'am. >> i'm margaret i'm christen's mother and i totally support this project and the reasons we do my daughter. >> someone left the marines after seven years hopefully to raise a family here we knew that was a small houses but many small houses on the streets smaller and i hope you support

their worries about it raise their family an this lovely street with a wonderful life in san francisco thank you very much. >> is there any additional public comment? >> in support of project sponsor. >> dr requester a two minute rebuttal. >> each. >> good evening, commissioners my name is john on may 6, 2015, whether asked about the demolition versus the addition the planner nicholas said this concept is abused this project is unclear at this point he had not reviewed it, in fact, not review them until this afternoon we're not inclined to take his opinion by will look at an informed assessment with our

expert. >> our dr position any twaergs should be within the existing envelope after all the work you're thinking is evolved but no response from the folks two of the 3 levels have no views this is not about views but our modest in relation to an outside use and fine to talk about density but looking at each other it crows the line as an invasion of the privacy at the preapp meeting when everyone are sprersz concerns if i were me i'd like the support of my neighbors they didn't submit the mrantz as is

we had evan to our house thinking this is the best way to reach a solution he said the sponsors will not be receiver and repeated follows up does nothing any brother eye were concerned about the outcome of this project to come before you thinking how our lives are balanced to a close project and ask you to help with a resolution thank you. >> additional dr requester two minutes. >> thank you look i'm not omitted to the families opportunity to refurnish and rehab and add to their properties so overly aggressive and ambitious we're still not

following for the lightwells the residential design guidelines that's siding to be done follow the guidelines and we're not following the rdt retained request to religious the length and the promoter it - we need we can accommodate that and still meets our neighborhood requests by moving the garage to the odds either using tandem parking or an elevator to leverage the use as for any potential i may or may not yes i'd like to do something i don't know that i will, in fact, this project makes me wonders i might go backgrounds

not impacting my neighbors i've talked about a link of a study in immediate tinges and most importantly do not for today, we're talking this project and the residential design guidelines this city has i'm asking you, please look at the project in isolation and the flat in front character the defining feature it feels i'm surprised this went through and wanted to raise and feinstein mr. butler put forth a fair question about the second review and a diversity opinion therefore shouldn't be a proper environmental document for this proposal. >> the public will - i'm

sorry project sponsor an 8 hour rebuttal. >> i respectfully ask 4 minutes. >> 2. >> thank you for reviewing the project i wanted to point out that from the very beginning our project has been 100 percent code compliant we may sure of that in the beginning we didn't want to propose something that was more than we felt we needed in order to negotiator come in with good faith additional trying to be responsible that was spoken to the noise made but is car stacker 80 decimals is created by the units we've offered to locate on the other side of the house the starker we manufactured within 70 decimals that is quieter than a

residential dishwasher the heights towers over our proposed vertical addition our highest floor lines up with the low fats habitable floor of the union street prosper your sgaements lines you up with their basement we felt the dr requesters are unreasonable they demands we extend underground and demand we provide significantly more mohammed space whereas they provide zero space and provided a moment's for phil to speak. >> i'd like to speak to what i feel is a great him cac and the gentleman's house is 2200 feats he complains i'm too close to

his house i'm not the one please don't punish us. >> thank you. >> this portion of hearing is closed commissioner moore. >> as often as the commission findsism standing between two parties have positions that we need to consider, however, no argument one go way or the on that can convince us above and beyond what we normally need to look to make that by which we determine what one party and the other one says to define this what i did i took a close look at the sites this site in front of this commissioner a number of years ago but about the hyde street into residential it took a long, long time because of

units were approved at that point had a serious impact on the liveability of union street and russel streets at a time we're not operating on a flat plain the most important part a multi serious series of planes what happens here so understand the entering dependence of all units no one can tell me the houses are taller i've looked 5 homes in the locations adjoining the russel project and feel that at this moments we're like two

trains not meeting two ships sailing in opposite directions the one thing i've observed nfl i believe the depiction of the existing conditions fails to capture the suibtilitas - not that the oldest homes don't fit this this was exactly as prescribed by some of the families that owned the homes for over 40 or 50 years no code that modifies that, however, when a new building joins the

settings can was surprising to me we can't say really deal with that project when it so - the neighbors that are adjoining those properties 10 or so flats basically turn into tenants units i went into 4 union street homes their stacks and different living conditions their families with young children a little bit odors than one one is in diapers i don't know them tare literally 12 feet away from you balcony and 20 feet away number one monopoly i believe when you live in this place or me looking out there i would not want to live that way i think based on overseeing things we need to

find a better middle ground for this project we cannot workout we should continue this a better understanding a mature understanding and a mature understanding of the demolition or the rebuilding that needs tobacco a better understanding about what this proximity niece in terms of give or take and the balcony could be off no garage stark stack eerie building at this moment the project doesn't understand the height with the typography and the multiply plains including the view lines for privacy and just a few minutes the project didn't understand weight the locality is elevated should come to the

ground and match and i believe the deputy the property given the proximity between the go buildings have not been properly understood not to maybe not a workable project but with the commissioner president fong and commissioner johnson being gone i feel it would take two long to come to a compromise more work needs to be done with a particular understanding about the 3 things with the steps on larkin with the obligation calculations a better neighborliness i hope you can account this that's my suggestion i make a motion to continue i'll say about 4 weeks and let's have a look at the calendars second. >> second.

>> commissioners four weeks puts us out to july 21st i'll only repeat obvious our commissioner calendars is impacts your hoefldz a joint hearing with the sfmta's boards and have 1517 south van ness after that you the following week it's absence hard to get this worked out. >> commissioners you can take our poison all the dates are impacted through cement. >> may we ask. a date future in the future and if a date comes up we can notice it >> and actually hear it. >> sir. >> sir you're out of order.

>> in that times. >> shame on you. >> sir we have complete discretion for the city chapter didn't mean that meets codes that's why we're here. >> we're not here to say there couldn't be a building there definitely can be a this the soot - requires suddenly changing the existing building that is opted out by a larger number of people moving and irrespective of small children other small children would be impacted their ordinary people multi generations people in at

joining homes and they have just as important standing in front of that commission we've not told you this is a denial but basically continue to be sensitive and work closely together that's encouraging you to come up with what is essential essential because they have something this not what san francisco is all about. >> i will ask we move to october 6th. >> is that amenable to the maker of the motion. >> fine. >> can we still comment. >> yes. i'm sorry commissioner antonini. >> we've i've been working with the project sponsors for over a year i went and looked at it i saw their earlier plans and

can attest they've made a lot of compromises to go accommodate the neighbors i'm surprised at some of the department of human resources one the dr requesters is in a little to the northeast of the project their can hardly by any give and take first of all, an elevation change, and, secondly, any loyalty will be coming from the property hidden which that particular dr requester and the dr requesters 64 merely said she's concerned about the lightwell so i don't understand why there is such an issue i have a question for mr. fosters please there's all this talk how close in the 16 want 5 and 20 feet with the separation would be if there's a deck even so an elevation change any distance is not - also a difference in

height. >> the one of the plan in the 311 is actual distances between the rear private property abutting 1241 through 45 union street and the rearmost building wall again, no horizon space only 16 feet 6 inches the balcony on second story that is proposed to penetrate 4 for which 3 feet into the rear yard and into the planning code so to answer your question 6 feet 6. >> somewhat horizontal or vertical. >> a substantial grade change. >> yes. an impact i live in a single-family in western san francisco we have 3 feet between

prels e property lines and that seems to be more than adequate so someone between 16.5 feet i hardly think that is exceptional or extraordinary i could entertain this lightwell issue that one of the dr requesters wrought up but they're also a grade change i know request a little bit of a redesign of the floor levels that level the property at 60 to be able to make the lelsz exactly the same that's something that can be choroid we'll have a opportunities all of this stuff should is have been resolved between the project sponsors long before it came up that is is an appropriate project the

height is barely more than second story above the garage on russel and it is a couple of feet not a huge impacto so i think this deduction why it is a demo doesn't matter the problem if it is a demo it is a conditional use because some legislation was passed recently but the opinion has been made not a demo but still have the project whether it is a demo or not so you know not happy we can't resolve this i've followed it closely the plans are sensitive a few minute things to make that acceptable it is nice it a couple is willing to spend

the time and money to renovate a tiny place i think adequate for a family what question. >> we have prepared to offer to lower the lightwell if that is you know an issue that allows the project to precedes we're certainly happy to offer that i'll see what the votes on the continuance i'm not in favor of dragging it out i don't see anything else in the project that is exceptional or extraordinary so i'll hopefully be able to beat continuance and be able to take this up and get it done. >> thank you. >> commissioner hillis. >> so a couple of thoughts a lot of communication we've seen those projects in alleys and this neighborhoods a lot

i think the zoning rules with difficult to political there's a context that is typical an alley kind of what we normally is the mid block open space in buildings on it and tennis to cause some issues with how the zone is applied we tend to see drs on typical comblokz and mid block and open space because of that coon test we're here today but i think the project needs to change a little bit there are no enormous what i don't necessarily agree with all the changes they're fairly mieftsdz

i get it the building on union street the full block where they think in the full lot their flats and gets light from the properties and back in lightwells we have to recognize that's is context it comes up a lot and your last in so nfl have to respond not just you know built to the zone but i don't think the things are unreasonable we intend not to wanted to design a building based on car parts gits you're trying to put two spots and also trying to fit a building program it didn't work to the height of the building you probably don't need you can

respond there but you know, i think if you eliminate that you start the building starts to come down by 3 feet with one car and you know start to work a little bit better in the context again, the balconies i think have something that can be looked at and potentially eliminated i i get it rear yard and open space difficult to accommodate in those small lots but it is kind of the nature of the lot i mean, we at the end not to have an enormous amounts of open space in those neighbors we're kind of crammed together so i think if you take some of the suggestions and look at them and treat the back of the building as you treated the front of building you did a great job if designing the

building the garage looks at awkward i say the same thing that a garage it sticks out on the first story does a little bit of the same thing not to the extents just a few minutes to you but it does so i think if you take some of the suggestions the balconies which wru you probably won't use because of the context and get the building on union street overshadowing you, we can get to a solution i think relatively painfully on a project that fits better into this context so things like the balconies eliminating the stacker parking you know reconfiguring that back facade you have a back facade it looks

like you have a view you don't you're looking into the back of the buildings are the hill on union street your treating it like getting smaller kind of conventional windows with some three story windows will work better on the back and be more contextual so those are any gentle thoughts we'll not get a consensus here today for four votes to do anything i t we're being unreasonable in october deadline i don't think that project is complex but get with our neighbors and sit down and kind of a neighborly fashion and try to account those issues so i will vote against on

october and try to account today i'd like to see that date moved up and potentially you come to an agreement and not have a dr hearing something in late july are early august so my comments here i impair this discretionary review application and return to us and i give us one page and on the page you included you basically your telling us you took a role of today's do let us make a decision under question two what alternative transportation did you make and willing to make arrested changed the project you're talking to staff not our neighbors i don't don't like the he or she says but people that

live those close you've not talking to we want to see you tells us what they i couldn't do for and why you don't want to do this it shows you they have a very good case to sit up here and take a dr but you rolled dice so i think i'm worried about the demo top drawings clearly that a very, very major alteration no calculations and is drawings i'm worried that what makes we wishes how many more are out there through the did not like never had before

we're trying to address that but were can't cut corners but dos it makes a difference you know i'm a dot all the i's and cross the t's we have someone steep in history mr. butts letter take it up with the hpc and you work with staff to try to get that cross i don't know then is surface burglary the building fits the create but two car parking stackers is a non-starter for me i don't think so the whole crawl space liveable area i think that will be a crawl space i think that is 8:30 i don't want to design this building you need to come back

with a solution don't come back here ideally you have to live invocation or next to those people you're wonderful people with wonderful children and addition to the neighborhoods and working still like up standing folks. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i would suggest some things whether we consider them are not you've talked about the elements an essentially all dr requester has asked for your going to have to getting into the weeds of the starker that allows you to lower the building a couple of feet not sets that at all but, yes did you want to say something. >> speak into the microphone. >> i wanted to point out have

a chance to say the heights of the house is not driven by the staeshg the basement down there i hit my head on that's where the car drops into a but - >> actually you're going down. >> i think it looked at the stacker allows you to lower one. >> perhaps lifts or drop sounds like it is going up. >> it sounds like i'm not sure that's a big issue most people i know don't have real cars and you have to drag a your kids you need a car removing the when i talked about

to the project sponsor you this a good job but the back looks at difference you need french windows and up two or three feet and you need pains things like that so those windows have not so big the dr requesters or the neighbors have talked about those i agree in the necessary to center the glares would make the addition a lot look more like this or the houses in the area in the suggestion talked about uncertainty the railing and open those are fairly minor things i think with those things done this sounds like it a very good project i hope to vote on it not and vote against the continuance i think we can do is october is ludicrous to wait

that long we want housing in san francisco i don't think that is your fault there's no communication with the neighbors. >> commissioner moore. >> i feel the rest of the commissions has a balanced view in the interest of designing a proper building not just reading off a couple of sentence to have the neighbors and is a new neighbors to be open with each and beginning points some give and take and some might not all work i'm looking for a completely different take on starting this building may i ask who the architect. >> why does someone speak for you. >> we were both design i'm the

architect of record no new information i can add. >> if you're designing partners it would be nice for for example, a little more really taking the challenges of design in a difficult situation i know you're not in san francisco but you live in a typography i saw the seaside addresses of your office it is all about that large a fit i think if at all interests of both parties to not push this to october but pull it up closer. >> like i said commissioners. >> any one you want to push it on i'll i'll be happy to add.

>> richards you're in the balance tells you what you think. >> july 14th is potentially your best choose. >> i trust you're correct. >> harrison is on that day that's. >> well, i mean really commissioners not a debate you don't have a large project. >> okay 14 july. >> 14 of july it will be i'll accept that. >> dr requester. >> please speak into the mike. >> may ask i'm technologically on call for jury. >> it will be at the end. >> okay. i'll be here than. >> the 14 of july everyone agrees and no dr that's a

possibility you know that you don't have to if you find it works we're free and clear we're not putting any questions into our way we can't support the project as is. >> if you need more times ask for a continuance and we'll hear it later. >> zoning administrator sanchez i wanted to make sure we have all the supervisors comments and come back as soon as possible and highlights with regards to the height the building is raised one the findings in doing the review lower the floor plate can compromise that a pattern on the block that is maintaining so one of the things trying to address one issue you may finds users

refuge into the other issues this is something that had many iterations it is code compliant and unfortunately didn't get the complete calculations for the demo but satisfied the project is not a demolition seems hike perhaps the lightwell those are things that are relatively minor and couldn't be addressed tonight but relatively quickly. >> sxhau can you repeat that about the floor plates it seems like you know maybe some thought the car parking was raising it but seems like that is not true a way to bring it down by a few feats. >> yes. it can be done we're getting into the compromise with

the feature should be maintenance but is this is pattern that the adjacent building mass the recessed pattern i think if we look at the overall issue and the new story could be reduced ross are not floor to ceiling 9 feet so i think that is hard to gain much there. >> okay. >> just only thing that points good to see is alternative transportation you have is 11 or 12 food for thought garage it squeeze into is back gits the stackers good underneath but. >> i don't know if this is a function was stackers or the

entry or alternative transportation. >> as you can see the floor to ceiling height is going go 8 feet plus appraise the raised entry it appears there's a large ground floor but part of it is raised asia go back. >> on the 3.7 the rear the building the, height of 8 feet and it is a section through the area with the parking that's why you see the large part of 11 feet the floor level is above grade is one of the problems and want to make sure we get commission primary concerns that's off on the facades if we

losses the raised entry. >> sir if you're asked a question we've gone the dr requesters times. >> commissioner moore. >> mr. sanchez one objection when i looked the building that was puzzling if it indicate on the lowest level occupancy and saw a grill and banish i think of a slab that might give us a completely different idea how to slab tracks forward i believe that the existing condition needs to be in certain parts of sites on the middle of the west

side i think a notch not coming all the way to the roof a very old building not properly recorded but someone needs to go around and documents the existing condition by which we have a clearer understanding how commissioner wu said the potential and proportional building of a health additional depth. >> i hope under foster can do that i think this is like a fish bowl and things that can be done tonight. >> no. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. during the process of my association with this project i remember when we year ago they

were working being staff carefully to make the entrance to be textural and that was one reason for the setback intermittence think staff insisted the entry is commemorate and maids more difficult a slight elevation an alu and i and having the garage along there not at slant and angle tricky issues that were addressed a way we can slightly reduce the height now i think by keeping all the features that is something we can consider. >> seeing no one else on the rule there is a motion that has been seconded to continue this matter to july 14th a procedural matters only 5 commissioners

only 3 commissioners to pass the procedural matter on that motion commissioner antonini no commissioner hillis commissioner moore commissioner wu and commissioner vice president richards so moved, commissioners, that motion passes that that item passes 4 to one any. general public comment not related to any project tonight >> seeing none, public comment is closed. the the meeting is adjourned

>> good morning, it is thursday june 16, 2016. this is rec and park commissioner. >> commissioner low, here. commissioner harrison, here. commissioner [inaudible] commissioner i think you have something we start on the presidents report. >> yes, good morning, commissioner beel is out today and i'll stepping in. do not call me mr. president. what i do want to acknowledge that we have the honorable mark farrell in our commission room and i know he has a very packed schedule and has many

important things to do today including budget hearings. i want to acknowledge the bis busty schedule and have him speak on a item before it is called. supervisor. >> thank you commissioner low and i can call you acting president. commissioners thanksgivings for having me. i have to run we are actually in 5 minutes starting the budget deliberations for the fiscal year including the rec and park department this year so have to get back to that. i want to speak on the item with fran cisco park [inaudible] this is an agreement two years in the make and i want to thank the staff. [inaudible] in particular who has been instrumental making this happen so want to thank everyone. they are going to give a generous gilf to our city to construct the park we talked about a few

years ago and appreciate all your support for that. bh the time came to vote on those matters we all know the need for open space and this will be a incredible highlight for our entire city when it is built. i'm incredibly excited and this shamilestone in the process. the next step is out reach to the community about the final design the park. they will start now with this in place and once approved $25 million capital campaign to finish the fundraising off. no small task but have aheard start and excited where it will go and be back to the commission when that is finished with concept divine. i'm just here to say thank you for hearing this today. please know my office will continue to be involved as they have been. [inaudible] kelly i should think her are ininvolved in the entire process and your staff as well have done an amazing job so want to say thank you and hope you support it.

>> thank you. >> thanks everyone. >> thank you. >> before we go to item 2 i want to remine everyone to turn off sound producing devices. we request you fill out a blue card for public comment. if you like to speak on a item today you have 3 minutes public comment for each item. if there is a item of interest not on the ajnda but falls under the commissions jurisdiction you may speak under general public comment and that is item 2 and then we'll continue on item 8. last, please address your comments to the commission during public comment on items in order to allow equal time for all. neither the commission nor staff will responds to questions during public comment. the commission may ask questions of staff after-public comment is closed. with

that in mind, we are going to item 2, the presidents report. >> just like to [inaudible] vice presidents report. i want to acknowledge our colleagues commissioner mcdonnell on just a great feat. he finished the aids ride and it is a remarkable story. commissioner mcdonnell would you like to say something? >> it was a incredible experience. 2500 riders and 500 miles from san francisco to los angeles [inaudible] the community of folks supportive of each other. probably the most poignant moment is appreciating the fact we are far from the stigma associated with hiv at the onset, there is still a community of folks living in isolation and inside this bubble they

receive the support that sustains them so i was proud to completed it and look forward doing it again. >> thank you and thanks for your effort and support sharing that community especially in light of our current times we are going through. that is a remarkable feat and a great community erfbt. effort. i see the general manager arrived. >> are you done with your report? >> any public comment on this item? being none, public comment is closed. now we can go to item 3, the general managers report. >> walking right into it. how are you commissioners? good morning. it sown to me commissioner mcdonnell you were talking about you ride. >> yes, sir. >> i was going to start by congratulating you on your ride and how proud of you we are and as i

think you were talking about as i walked in it could not have been a more poignant time which makes your participation all the more important and special so congrats. i got to follow you on facebook quite a bit and you look good in those shorts. i'll stop there, but we are very proud of you at the recreation and park department. >> [laughter] >> one thing to celebrate which is completion of commissioner mcdonnells ride last week san francisco voters scored a huge victory for parks and we can talk about it again because we are no longer on the ballot. we are approvered by about 60 percent of the vote. prop b amend city charter to extend a open space fund until

2046 and gives a baseline that increases by about 3 million a year each year for the next 30 years. this is very very very significant. it protects the parks from future recession driven cuts which is something the commission grappleed with over the last 6 or 7 years and guarantees of 15 million a year to address differed maintenance and that for us is what makes this special. this is not a huge amount of money that our budget increasing every year and have to absorb or own expenses, it is stability and prioritization of something that matters most to san francisco park user which is taking care of our assets and parks and the things in them. the measure also calls upon to develop equity metrix. i think you should feel very proud of the amount of planning this organization has done in

recent years with the completion of the strategic plan. i think the additional steps will make that planning more robust and very significantly make sure that we are making investment decisions that are based on data and based on the premise that it is so important to invest in the parks and communities that need them the most and think the equity metrix will help us get there. we have a number of people to thank. it is game night, so i'm wearing gold here. like the golden state warriors who captivated the world with teamwork prop b has strength in numbers and required the effort of a lot of folks wurbic towards a common goal and want to start with you. you provided us with incredible leadership and guidance and support and you have helped

bring our very diverse communities along to help understand how our organization works. it is relevant to their quality-to san franciscan's quality of lives and this would not have happened without your guidance and leadership and i want to really articulate a very sincere thank you on behalf of the department and park users everywhere. i want to thank the bayer mayor because at the end of the day without his support it isn't on the ballot. he cares about infrastructure and quality of life and basic things that improve lives. the board of supervisors, mark farrell was tenacious making sure this happened but this was supported by a super majority of colleagues on the board so want to thank them for their support. the san francisco park alliance was probably a watershed moment for the non profit

partner. they stepped up ichb a thoughtful and graijs and caring and determined way and effective way. they demonstrated leadership, advocacy, policy, policy guidance, they devoteed resources and most of all they were a trusting collaborative partner and we are very grateful to them. i want to thank the many employee organizations that supported the measure included spirfckly local 261, which demonstrated remarkable leadership on this and fought to make it happen. overall-let me continue, members san francisco unified school board commissioner men doza was a champion. [inaudible] we had community based organizations that fault for sustainable resources in all the neighborhoods. san

francisco voters. wouldn't have happened without folks who showed up and voted. san franciscan's care about their parks and invest in the parks. if you look at the 2008 and 2012 prop bond and proposition b and beach la ndsed up on the ballot, we have done well when it is time to go to the ballot. lastly and i think more importantly the men and women who work in our department. they bust they their humps every day and have high expectation with the bearest of resources and you should be very proud of the sweat the men and wem omen put in every day so we are very thrilled. i mentioned the warriors so let me continue along that front. they attempt to clinch their second

nba teatal tonight but want to just thank my team and a few of our partners for our effort to host a free public viewing party. [inaudible] commissioner mcdonnell was on his bike not paying attention to his duties between san louis bisbo [inaudible] i guess we are now. so, within about 3 days we were able to put something together and that really speaks to the resilience of our team and i want to particularly thank lisa branstan and nathan [inaudible] from the partnership division who literally dropped everything and said let's do this, this is the right thing to do. i want to thank bob [inaudible] and recreation staff, they were out there as

they always are and brought basket ball hoops and arts and crafts and face painting for kids. [inaudible] property management division to make sure we have lots of events out there. this is a very busy week for us at the civicsenter and dana was able to work with some the folks that he already made commitments to use the space and carve out just a little room for this event. alex [inaudible] public and policy affairs team quhoo did logos and graphics and marketed the event and marcus and park rageer tooz keep it safe. we had help from the san francisco police department. [inaudible] i want to thank planet entertainment who stepped up to help

fund the endeavor. these things don't just happen like that and the park alliance do want their support so we were able to turn this around very very quickly. we had about 1500 people out there and it was a happy incredibly diverse joyous evening. it was great when the city hall lights went on in blue and gold when the sun went down. it was rec and park and [inaudible] the city at the best. thank you for the spur to get us going. eric, you probably spoke about the poignancy of your ride culminating with the horrible events in orlandofelt i want to touch upon that and celebrate this month is pride month and it is more

important than every to stand with our lgbt community and celebrate event for inclusiveness, ownenness, freedom and community and there are a number of events going on including women on women dodge ball this friday. june 17 ature reeka valley rec. photo exhibit celebrating pride. we have the transmarch at dolores park june 24. the [inaudible] at dolores park. [inaudible] the pride celebration june 25 and 26 and you should know the flags are up but half mast and will light up the conservatory of flowers in

rainbow colors throughout the month we are excited about and think coit tower will be lite in one or more rainbow colors dependent how effective we can program our piece of equipment. july is partial national parks and recreation month so what better times to celebrate parks? the full house of park loving people you are all excited july is parks and rec month. the national rec park association brings awareness and celebrate all the of the great work the urban parks do. in the coming weeks we will present out a calendar of july events celebrating from community garden days to free play day in the park and coming up this july, san francisco is the international home and host of the baseball for all which we are excited about and more to

come on that. summer is in full swing and as a reminder this summer we are here today operating 92 different summer camps all across the city. more than 15,000 registration. i think we have close to 10,000 kids this summer including 1200 children who are in the learn to swim programs, over nearly 5,000 summer scholarships totally 3 $3 quarter a million dollar. more than 1100 families registered for camp nather the summer and by the way, in haun orthf fact that it is the national park services centennial celebration-i am about to say something controversial, the first head of the national park service was stephen nather so this is a reminder that it is still

subject to debate and encourage people to debate, we go to camp mather not camp maither. i know it is controversial. and then next wednesday on the eve of park squz recreation month, in partnership with this commission and local 261 we will host the 8th annual william [inaudible] at the club house. each year we recognize the top gardeners in the department and thank them for their work over the past years and continued commitment to providing clean, safe and beautiful parks to the public. now, ryan we will show this month in parks which features the opening at [inaudible] sf cheer at deloris.

>> at the [inaudible] park is a example of collaboration we have to have in order to be real effective in the park. [cheers]. where i grew up i did not have a park with a [inaudible] in san francisco 19 percent of everybody who lives here has a park within 10 minutes.

[inaudible] i'm having a issue [inaudible] with the water issue, so what i'm looking at is how to approach it. on the wild life approach there are a lot of

violations going over on the ocean beach area, [inaudible] mountain lake so they have different type of [inaudible] turtles and everything else. all these type of issues, i don't [inaudible] it should have been. so i think there is no one to speak for animals so i try to come and speak on their behalf. of course, on animals behalfs but roit now that is a issue that is critical but dont think they pay much mind to it, they went right past it and [inaudible] i was at the west side park. the planning department [inaudible] but there is a issue that came up when i heard commissioner michael antonini

and he had something good to say talking about trying to have the gravitational approach. he responds to it with gravitation and has 2 ball fields, lincoln high school, washington high school and higher elevation such as football use for reservoir jz can have gravitational [inaudible] down. that is a lot of the-all that stuff going around ocean beach. [inaudible] my issue i brought up before this commission is [inaudible] alternative routing to such projects that i understand anything can't be done to the project itself because of ceqa. i spoke with the [inaudible] which i strongly recommend if it is

able to 15 million gallons per day and requires 25 million gallons so i spoke to such issue. if you use that you can use lake merced to south lake and [inaudible] drain down gravitation ally. thank you for listening to me. times up, bye. >> thank you. >> anyone else who would like to make public comment under the consent calendar? being none public comment is closed. commissioners? >> second? >> all in favor? opposed? so moved. >> we are on item 6, the san francisco zoo. >> good morning. >> i don't know how to use

there we go. excuse me for that. stephen hanes, vice president of san francisco zoo. happy to be here. i'm not in the wrong place mr. gins burg. it is the summer months so we are drawing to close wonder fm program the zoo mobile. this was a record year with over 12,000 students and 442 classrooms so that was thrilling. also we just graduated a new class of doseens. dwevl graduated a week and a half ago so are thrilled to bring them

to the zoo to help with the volunteer efforts and all the guests that will come through the door. this is the bige time for zoo coming into the had summer months. happy to say we are seeing a upward tick in attendance. memorial day had nearly 21,000 people over 3 days so i'm trying to bring enhanced market and tools to that and see great success in the future. may had a total of aattendance of 91,000-sur plus of 91,000 attendsees and have seen increase in web traffic. mexican gray wolf, that is the new exhibit we opened last week at the zoo and this falls under the 3 c's. in 1973 there were 5 remaining gray wovls in the

wild. through a partnership with u.s. fish and wild life we are working this effort and taken these 3 brothers in at the exhibit and opened the exhibit last wednesday june 8. we really hope to continue work with u.s. fish and wild life and we believe these 3 brothers will have offspring that be returned to the wild so we can see the population rebounds in the southwe say west united states. abc was there, cbs, kqbt is univision. what is wundserful is this exhibit is repurposing of older exhibits. it was two former bear exhibits that were revenivated and restored. it is spectacular

and what you see with the photograph, there is a large 6 foot glass wall that really puts the attendee in the guest of the zoo all most in the exhibit, it is a great experience. it is also one of the most technically advanced exhibits. part of the program with u.s. fish and wild life is there is little to no human interaction so there are electronic feeders and fences that help keep the human element out of the exhibit best as possible. other photos. this is part the exhibit in the center. you can see this is where the wall used to be that separated the two older exhibits so that wall came gown and we added a bump out so

it is a 270 degree experience that puts you in the middle of the exhibits. this program of course is what is most important to stress is this ads to the zoos national credibility work wg u.s. fish and wild life. new arrivals for the summer months. adding to the color and flair of the zoo. that says mothers day but i wundser if this is slide old. the new exhibit-i will staurp for a minute. this slide presentation looks like it is older one so i will continue verbally. last weekend we celebrated world oceans day. i think it is important to stress that the san francisco zoo is the only zoo in the world that is on a coastal line and on a ocean so we want to

celebrate that connection with water. we brought in experts from aquarium by the bay and marine wild life center and had lectures. napeer trail opened june 4. speaking to what mr. gins burg said for the summer months, education is important. the summer will have 1700 zoo camp members and full and hope to add more in the future but nature trail celebrating the 4th 40th season. we hope to have teen volunteers to guide the guests where you can get close to 12 animals. this upcoming weekend is fathers day and also world

giraff day which started in 2014 because of the world wide loss of the population. we are added [inaudible] on both days, s saturday and sunday. sunday for the dads we are saying come out for free so bring you dad and have a great day too. to celebrate pride in san francisco next thursday actually happens to be international pink flamingo day. yes, it exists. it is not the john waters movie. thursday we'll kick off pride and at this time with what happened in orlando this is a great time to come together and ban in solidarity. san

francisco zoo is part the pride per aid every year so each day we are asking people come out, we will have a craft station so you get to help craft the decorations for the float that will be created over night saturday night in a festive pink flamingoes. the weekend after that it will be the 4th of july or two weekends after that so it is the annual red, white and zoo fest. we will expect a large crowd especially being a 3 day holiday weekend, saturday, sunday and monday. we have new arrivals in addition to the ones you saw on the previous slide but welcome a coo coo, red forted tortoise and [inaudible] >> we welcome new coo coos all the

time. >> very excited to laurch to the summer months and see a lot of great programs added. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. so, we are now moving to item 7 , which is the san francisco reservoir. >> good morning, commissioners. general manager, i'm lisa bran stn director of partnerships at rec and park and here for discussion and possible action to recommend the board authrise rec and park to enter

into agreement with fran cisco park conserveancy regarding funding of a new park. second action is accept an in-kind grant of construction service for the new park of approximately $25 million and annual cash grants for future maintenance of the park and fpc and future grants for additional improvements and third, amends the park chode coed to list the new park as one of our alcohol-free parks. i wanted to start by saying how grateful the department is for the hard hard steadfast work the fran cisco park conservevancy has done. they are a group of community volunteers who come together to advocate for the park and we are grateful for the financial support but their steadfast

determination to see a beautiful piece of open space at the site of a long abandoned reservoir. so, just for a little background, the fran cisco reservoir is a partial of land between hyde and larkin street south of bay street and adjacent to a small strip of ownen space under department jurisdiction and the [inaudible] hill open space. two years ago after years of advocacy the department sought and received commission approval to enter into a mou with public utilities to aquer the property over 12 years with immediate transfer of conditional jurs diction. the group that has become the

francisco park conservevancy funded park development and maintenance and the agreement under discussion today is the formalization of that commitment. so, already there has been enormous amount of preliminary work done on the project. rpd and fpc have kun preliminary studies the site including top graphical survey, geo [inaudible] tree assessment and historical resource review among other work. the next steps include a city wide community outreach process to develop a final concept plan and donor recognition plan for future commission approval. fpc also hopes to change the official name the site to francisco park. for budgeting and planning the fpc developed the preliminary base plan and

have a design team under contract. just for your reference, this is a prelim flare base plan and it is a little hard to see that but you see the [inaudible] nice aminities including a dog run, a bathroom, ada accessible path ways which if you have seen the site and understand the steepness should be nice. as funding becomes available there is thought where they may put a childrens play area. so, this is the anticipated schedule. it starts from now so we are step 1. there is a lot of work to do. it is hard to read up there but step 7 will be when the group comes back to commission with a concept plan for review and approval, a doner

recognition program and name change. that is expected to be probably the spring of next year. so, you have the agreement in your packet, but i want to share some highlights. this agreement creates a long term partnership between fpc and stewardship of the resource for the city. the term is, 20 years with 10 year extensions possible for up to 50 years. fpc funds development of the park with expected valuef oabout $25 million. through the term of the agreement fpc will also fund park maints at approximately $150 thousand a year which will be finally determined when park design is complete. that funding will cover one full time gardener, appropriate staffing and supplies for gardening and custodial staff. rpd will maintain and

operate the park and agree to meet 3 times a year to review park maintenance and operation. actually wanted to site that one. this is really a parlt nership between the department and group and think that is a nice aspect of this agreement. fpc play a important role in ongoing park stewardship and rpd will provide fpc 60 days notice before commission action on capital improvement in the park or policy change specific to this park. actually that is pretty standard with the outreach we will do but will provide the chance to present to the rec and park commission. rec park and fpc jointly develop a asset management and landscape management plan for the park and these are nice new features. these are things we are going back and doing with the existing park

and have a park open with these plans in place is a really great thing for the department and its assets. so, just to repeat, the 3 actions for commission today are recommend the board of supervisors approve the agreement, recommend the board accept in-kind grant of the base parks, cax grants for maintenance and grants for future park improve. ment and recommend the board amepd the park code to add the park to the list of parks where alcohol is not allowed. just for your reference, the next commission action is approve design, approve the donor recognition program and new name for the park. so, again, i really want to thank the fpc for all the hard work that has guten us to this place and look forward

in partnership opening a great new aminity for all san franciscan's. thank you. >> commissioners would you like to go to public comment? >> yes. >> so, i have a few cards. richard, ken and mellany to start with. >> good morning. commissioners, mr. ginsburg. my name is [inaudible] i live in north beach and i recommend your commission approve of this project. it benefits everybody and the city and the residents and our tourist. the high street cable car run by this park and it will attract especially the families with the children visiting us and when they go to fisherman's

wharf i'm sure they will stop by and have a-good time in this park. this is a win win win completely funded by a private entity, maintained by private entity and i hope that you push it through, the sooner we get it the better. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good morning commissioners as well as mr. ging burg. i'm ken lee and speaking in support of the project. i'm third generation proud generation native san franciscan and born and raised in north beach chinatown community. i am rec and park guy and spent my youth playing in the

playground. chinese play ground, helen wells, and as i plan to visit my mother tonight as she turns 90 tomorrow and i recall coming home and my mother looking at me and goes, giving me a hug and goes, you smell like a playground, go take a bath. as i say, as i visit her tonight and she will be in 90 and in a situation where she doesn't speak, she has dementia but she still looks at me and can hear her say, son, have you taken a bath. i just retired a year ago as a principle of francisco middle school in north beach and had 9 great years there and as i was sitting in the audience i was doing some math and i thought i was good at math but

trying to recall around this time of year when i went to summer school at galileo and walked past the park all the time and came up with all most 50 years and said that is scary. 48 years to be exact but walked past that park and look at the park on a daily basis and-[inaudible] and said it would be great to have a park there and that is all most 50 years and grateful for the efforts of a number of people pushing this project forward and just to have that available. when i was growing up and student at francisco that would have been fantastic. i'm fully in support of biltding the project and hoping that you will follow us and support as well. thank you very much. >> thank you.

>> melody and jan and annie. >> good morning. my name is melody wong and i'm here on behalf of telegraph neighborhood sener in support of the francis co park project. [inaudible] provides meals and health care service and educational programs to more than 500 kids, adults and seniors. has a deep history in the north beach and chinatown and know the family will be thrilled to see it built. the park would be a benefit to the seniors who i work with every day. our seniors love to have a park nearby where they can walk and enjoy the fresh park airs. this is also a park i live around the neighborhood in and

i also grew up in that area, so i want to the neighborhood schools and [inaudible] galileo high school and always walk past it to go home so feel that would be a good space to have a park where all the high school kid can go to and the people at [inaudible] can go to and just like the people in the neighborhood. on behalf of the entire tell hi neighborhood center i urge you to support the francisco park project. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> next speaker. after annie i have jeffrey and rebecca. >> good morning commissioners. my name is jan wong and i'm a member thorf board of directors of the francisco park conserve vaes. we are glad to be here today and working on since 20 laevl. fran cisco park will have a sustainable and healthy

landscape. it will be dependent upon native plants and drought resistance plants to reduce the need for water. it will be also be one that is very welcoming and provide habitat for birds, bees, butterflies and pollinators which the environment needs in the city. this will attract other wild life we want to attend to the park to keep it as healthy as possible. following the initial irrigation to establish the plant base we will get net zero water platform which means we collects, recycle and reuse the storm water and gray water on the site it irrigate. we want net zero. in addition to this, environmental sciences department of galileo high school is planning to do science on the park as a living

laboratory which we are very excited about. student will be able to study, they will monitor and report on flora and fauna, the natural phenomena in the park and will be able to use their data to further increase sustainability of the park so it will be a very good science project for all of us. this park will help heal a small but important part of san francisco and it will [inaudible] so many people. the many diverse and neighbors of russian hill. i hope your support this park project. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good morning commissioners. so, i want to take this opportunity to thank the park and rec commission because i work closely with you on the

west portal, south sunset and [inaudible] last night i was getting my car at the grad grad garage and it was 7:30 or 8 o'clock and if you stop by the [inaudible] quer there are still 100 people using that park. the men play chess games or card games under skimpy light and the women do music and aerobic dance so it shows how desperate we are in chinatown for public space that allows the namlies, residents and seniors to enjoy something in the open because they live in very very small rooms as you are most aware. i'm here to support the francisco park project. i was involved when jan and other representatives reached out and went to visit the site and pass by it dailyment we have seniors that live in

francisco and bay street and it will be a wonderful addition to see seniors and residents in the area enjoying the open space and beautiful park so i urge you to support the park because the benefits will be tremendous. we know that the parks extension of a lot of the seniors living space because where they live they just don't have the luxury to do exercise, visit with families or enjoy the open air, so i urge you to move quickly approve what lisa recommended. it is tremendous, you have a private group that fund the development and maintenance of the park and i'm so enveious we should start that for chinatown so urge you for your support. thank you. >> thank you. >> jeffrey and rebecca. >> jeffrey ing. i work at

[inaudible] neighborhood sentser for 10 years now. 6 years i was a manager of at the school program and summer camp and can tell you the park is a wonderful asset for the community and kids. when i was-you see kids on the street and are on their smart phones and i pad and not get thg exercise they are needing and i think it-i didn't have a cell phone until high school and then they had pagers. i think i also am a teacher for north beach medical service and volunteer there and work with kids with high body mass index and do a lot of research and show a lot of kids now don't get the proper exercise and that 60 minutes of play each day and we value that at tell hi. we

encourage to go out with families and have fun and get exercise. we are living in san francisco where cost of living is high and a lot of families can't afford. even when i took my cousins to the movie theater it cost nearly $100 for 4 goes to the movies and getting popcorn. a lot the working families that can take their kids out and enjoy. i urge commissioners to fully support the playground funding. thank you. >> thank you. >> rebecca. >> good morning and general manager. rebecca evans and here on behalf of the sear era club and have 75 mbs in the city and 30,000 in the bay area. we are in friends of francisco

park. my neighborhood park is lafayette park and union square but pass the site frequently and think it is a important asset to the city and communities. chinatown. i go by [inaudible] 4 or 5 times a week and see there are a lot of people there that can use more space. we remember there are 60 million members a year that come to the ggnra and this site is within walking disance of fort mason and aquatic park so think it will be a wonderful asset for the city to encourage you to pass all these things before you today. thank you. >> thank you. >> richard. >> commissioner [inaudible]

good morning. we had a little [inaudible] today i'm interested in not bumping heads with you, i'm interested seeing what we can do about the public/private relationship. [inaudible] jan and her team come up with the real dollars [inaudible] and they are not quite ready to get into design aspect. being there is a reservoir up there and able to hold water i like the idea where you get something like a lagoon that would be nice up there because it has the calm and art straes of the location. now it seems it will be a stripped down park. [inaudible] restrooms and plumbing to have [inaudible]

that is maintenance they are talking about so don't know how they will do the plumbing. [inaudible] i'll probably highly support of this project. i think it is wonderful you have a place with diversity of people meeting on common grounds. myself, i'm one of the bad boys that would go up on the sides. [laughter] i like to conclude by thanking you for this and the people who spoke and sure people spend time and get here on time. >> anyone else who would like to speak on this item? if you do, could you please come up now. okay, being none, public comment is closed. >> commissioners. >> commissioner levitan. >> i have a procedural question. there

is the base park plan. i know we looked at probably hundreds of projects in my time on the commission, it is typical to do a base park plan before we do a conceptual design? >> the base park is not the department term for this project. they are calling it the base park because the park will be developed in two faces. what they call the base park and there will be aminities added later. they did the base park plan to develop a budget and understand where the project was headed. >> good, but that is a preliminary plan. >> just curious because we have a process of taking in public comment and public interest and what the design ultimately looks like. >> 100 percent available to the community and will talk about the park design. i think they can show the base park plan and had it is helpful

to have a idea what is possible. this is new park and will be a certain number of things they have to do, the grading and those sorts of things so at least they have done study and work would the landsscape architect to see what is possible. >> that is great. i just say gratitude and appreciation to the community for taking the lead, thank you very much to supervisor mark farrell. in a city that is increasingly compressed, more open space, not less. we are lucky to have this not just on the north side or northwest side of town, all of san francisco is lucky to have the space so thank you to eerfbd. everybody. >> commissioner mcdonnell. >> thank you, a couple questions, around the basic agreement and

provision around 6 months to take action to step away from the agreement and think this is [inaudible] want to understand the provisions in the agreement because it isn't clear to me. when either side exercises that option if you will, to step away from the agreement, what happens in terms of the commit to fundraising or sustaining or completing the project if that happens? >> i'm not sure what section of the agreement you are referring to. are you referring to the dispute resolution section? >> there was a-i think it is -i'll try to find it. it says a 6 month notification to discontinue the partnership. >> right. i think that is

contemplated for after the agreement-like after construction of the full park. i don't think that is contm plated to happen during construction. >> what happens if it happens during? i don't have a concern--[inaudible] rehabilitation certification of funds in hand. i think that is sort of a stage one. we have most of the language addresses what happens moving forward with respect to operations. so, if francisco were to give 6 months notice today we wouldn't build a park there, that simple. i think once there is basically a certification that funds are raised to develop the park, construction proceeds. i'm

don't have the full agreement in front of me, but legal issues would surface is there is a effort to dyscontinue construction mid-process usually there is security bonding because the general contractor at that point gets involved too. >> don't look at me because i'm a lawyer but- >> i am looking at you commissioners. >> let me throw you a life line. the construction wouldn't start until there is a certification that all the funds are raised and have dedicated staff that will certify the fund are in hand before construction would start. the termination period, the right to terminate would really be something such as like the legging in the fundraising timeline. that is when that comes into play, but the

general manager was correct, you wouldn't start construction until there is certification all money is raised. during construction should there be a construction dispute we are still working out these details, but there is a payment and performance bond the general contractor would have to post so if there was a dispute on payment, there would be the bonding capacity, general contractor to back up the payment of expenses. the 6 month termination i think the results of mediation and try to work out the dispute before the parties would had a right to terminate that would probably be-come into play prior to construction if the project schedule was not met. >> i think that if- >> i'm not the lawyer on this commission. >> you are, there are a couple of us.

i think i entered the same way as a practicing lawyer. the other issue is what happens if for some reason either party decides to walk away after the park opens? the park will belong to the city and within the jurisdiction of the commission. i think what would happen if the partnership dissolves is some of the provisions summarized in the presentation would no longer be required. we wouldn't have to provide notice to fpc before there was a change in policy or wouldn't have to meet 3 times a year. as a practical matter, these are things we do as a matter of practice with all our friend group regardless so not sure how much the significant change in policy would be because we would be doing neighborhood outreach before a significant

policy change anyway. that is really the issue. >> and i believe that once the park is built and then dedicated to the city, there probably will be discussion to asur that the park maintenance funds will be assurances the park maints funds will continue to be paid but thereat could be a point if it is not paid that would be a example of whether the dispute resolution would kick in. >> great. thank you. and again, i'm not concerned about those things happening, just want to be clear there are provisions and understood by all sides they are in place and everybody understand how we play together or not when the circumstances arise. in terms-am i correct to understand that the process for concepteral design will follow the same [inaudible] of engage of community and bringing on

project manager, all that is the same? >> yes, a project manager is assigned and will assist with the outreach but the outreach will be perhaps more robust in this situation but it will follow the standsered department practice on community outreach. >> thank you. lastly, in terms of use of the parks, so the agreement in 5.1.3 speaks to being available to all residents and visitors, am i correct the only other i guess stipulation apply to the park at this point is the no alcohol provision? >> that is correct. >> there are not other stipulations arounds use or access? >> not at this time. >> thank you. >> just to highlight that point, there will be community workshops to develop a concept plan. >> correct >> and a concept plan comes

back to the commission for approval? >> ye yep. >> with that idea, i would like to make changes to the the agreement to capture the concept which will have it be review said by the francisco conservevancy board and like the secretary to take the comments and present to the francisco park conservevancy board and really the concept is to assure the plan will be developed after community workshops and come back before the commission and the base park is a idea but not being approved by this commission. >> that is a correct. >> um, with that amendment, is there-i guess we should take this one at a time. with that amendment, is-amendment to the agreement, a motion to authorize the rec and park

department to enter into this agreement? >> so moved. >> second. >> you want to enter into the agreement with the two amendments you just noted or want to make those amendments before you do the amendment? >> i like to have a motion to authorize the department to enter into this agreement with those amendments. >> thank you. >> it was really to incorporate that the community workshops develop a concept plan and a plan comes back to the commission for approval. >> that is one amendment. >> community base and comes back to the-hrf - >> sorry >> before you vote i just want to say two quick things. i do think it is worth putting this in context you approved a strategic plan for us last year and i think as lisy noted

in the report, this is very targeted to helping develop open space and address population growth. our nisative over this period of time we talked about planning for design and constructing new parks in the basin which is well underway. noe value, town square in construction, 17th and folsom in construction. [inaudible] in design and planning. one new site in d 6 which will come to you in july with a potential acquisition and now this agreement and we move to the next stage of development in fransisky. francisco. as the city is more dense look at all that happened in 12 months. that was one point. the second point but probably more important given the moment is to thank the fransisky park conservevancy folks. lots of

incredible amounts of both treasure and sweat in the effort to just leave san francisco with another park and that shoulden be lost. this is an amazing opportunity and probably one we woulden have been able to follow on our own. i just want to say for the record how grateful we are to francisco park conservevancy and their leadership for getting us this far and want to thank my team and dawn and her team on the initial acquisition and to lisa and her team for some pretty exhaustive work as we can all attest to get the mou to agreement and last but not least, this is a really important project for supervisor farrell who between prop b and now this there should be no mistake about the supervisors commitment to park and open space. [inaudible] extraordinary amount of time

helping reach this agreement and see [inaudible] lesley served as the leader of francisco parks conservevancy i thank you for patient and persistence and vision on the project. >> i like to say any further thank yous until we get all items approved. with that motion and seconded. all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? so moved. item 2, accept in-kind grant of construction for the new park of appreciately $25 million in annual cash grants for future maintenance of the new park from the francisco park conservevancy and future grants from the francisco park conservevancy for

additional improvements, motion to approve? >> so moved >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? amind it park code to list the new park as alcohol free park, motion to approve. >> all in favor? motion carries. >> you voted aye on all of those? >> yes. >> thank you. >> now we can thank the francisco park-[inaudible] thank you for your leadership on this. >> we are now in item 8 general public comment continued. anyone who would like to make general public comment? being none, this item is closed. item 9, new business setting

commissioners. public comment? being none, this item is closed. item 10, communications, commissioners. any public comment? being none, the item is closed. 11 is adjournment. >> so moved. >> second. >> before we adjourn i want to say that during these awful crazy times of what has gone on in florida, i think now is a good time in solidarity with lgbt community to get to parks and connect and take a deep breath and relax and just remember those who lost their lives in florida. >> hug the one you are with. >> or who is next to you. >> with that, so moved. >> all in favor? >> thank you.

offer and accepted on the departments division so a guy named bill rice from san francisco super qualified and start date soon hit the ground running we're in the middle of festival season so we have a lot the low 0 do. >> can i just say that myself and ben have an opportunity to meet dillon and toured the museum the music museum. >> we toured the music wing of the museum we were in chicago for rh i a couple years ago he's pretty colonel. >> okay there you go i want to update the commission

as we typical do on corrective action and not many corrective action done with respect to place of entertainment holders but unfortunately last week, i think it was last week i can't remember we the sfpd and the entertainment commission sort of together sat down with the end up and i issued a director's order based on some violence that happened inside and the results was basically a volunteer closure of 18 days they've been in the midst of serving we were clear with them the gravity of the situation needed substantial changes and old them in the directors order

and put-down up the surveillance cameras and a making sure in their security plans were revised we're still waiting but that had to take place before pride weekend were we understood this is a financial burden and something that their employees have to bear but the consequences of having the kind of violence happen inside is it so the most serious matter they were understanding and they didn't have any problems with our requests i know that inspector lieutenant is here and on a site visit so if any questions he's over there we felt like that with what happened and why and we're going to keep our fingers crossed that

pride when they reopen will go well going forward and survive this it is a big deal that's all i want to say about that and inspector pauley is out today but burk it is here. >> when will they reopen. >> i think hold on - >> we did this directors order so they would the volunteery closure was on june 6th. >> so this friday sounds right we counted ought to be mindful of important weekends obviously them and the city and they were of the mind they could get the changes required

done in time. >> okay. i think imgiven what happened in orlando and other concerns about security i was completely shocked to see the headlines that people are shot and killed at one of our clubs. >> that happened before. >> right. >> and there was no indication because really had has nothing to do with with in is more gang violence related but regardless for me not important it is important that the breach occurred having that breach occurred and make sure this didn't happen the story of what happened and choose gun didn't matter to me. >> right and no excuse for a gun inside and for security that lacked laxed you even your

customers are two wealthy to be searched maybe not own a club user your customers should go to another club it is unconscionable. >> the situation they felt people were not important to pat down. >> they have protocols but a breach more than one entry and exit and we feel like maybe their communication or cell phones are great in some ways and dangerous in others and people indoors communicating with people outside someone drew the security out the door and we again made some droifshgz order about putting that very loud

alarm in addition we never leave a door urban manned regardless of wla whether interests a ruckus and not leave the door unmanned but have some mechanism if it gets taken over by someone else you are aware that was the case and is consequences of someone got in there and used it >> there hadn't been much going on with the security just in a normal pointing people left it unattended. >> no excuse. >> yeah. no excuse. >> so i feel san francisco has been very safe we have had an excellent record and somewhat dismayed how it started. >> well will you inform us of

what you've learned about active shooters. >> yes. >> awesome thanks. >> good evening, commissioners a few notes for you this week. >> we had an event at at&t park this weekends a private event first one since i guess the past 6 months a quieter event and quieter we did get one complainant 311 and with at&t park are waiting for a full report two complaints via the hotline and so all in all a different somewhere than the last events there i was there towards the end of the events that was very

different they shut down the pa it was operational definitely not as loud as other times i was halfway down lot a and started to trail off that was different than before a couple other visits over the past couple of weeks i picked up on monroe and broadway. >> unit above broadway and have established ambient reading as well as what the that sounds like during events at morrow and following up with the complainant to discuss those measurements and - i think this wraps up my investigation at

monroe a couple one offices permits we issued one at the festival and one at food parks over the past weekends both were in compliance as far as mobility conditions and both ended prior to the end of the permit and did not start until the start of the program. >> so all and all there was one additional visit i a was paved off from jordan to myself the square bar kitchen i made a visit to the complainants residence and the establishment itself and confirmed that two out of 4 speakers were removed from the bar and i think that is going to take some monitoring at levels of their system to make sure as

opposed to adjusting volume on the fly things changed inside the bar some limits to insure that people know where to set them and leave them i think this should be resolved shortly. >> the only thing other than that i have reached out to a place called a slogan fourth street got a complaint 311 that turned into a night club i left a message for the owner i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> about my report. >> if we could get into the numbers can we get a report card. >> the damn thing is free you get a hair cut. >> any questions or comments for our inspector?

all right. public comment on director or inspector report seeing none, public comment is closed. move on to item number 4 discussion and possible action regarding recently amendments to police code section 1050 want 5 i'll pass it on to my colleague >> thank you so there was a cumulative legislation that was passed months and months ago it was a bunch clean up 1060 and one of the things we did i think you recall and i think can you all find it is sort of exempted out 1065 and the yellow section in the last page substitution that relates to the 9 month period we've struggled with in the past with respect to accomplishing

everything you need to have a final grant of permit 1060 was amended to basically allow a set of additional months going forward and one of the things in the language here is that the commission may designate to the power to extend the deadline according to subsection h i'm asking the commission to discuss and then possibly move is that extension of authority to staff you know in a formal way we can go ahead and do pretty much what we were doing prior to this change we've called it clean up anyway you need to formally adopt this and that's have a communication about that.

>> all right. commissioners seems straightforward you, you guys want to discuss this you. >> it's a good idea in planning the cases so - i'm many in support of extension for the full 24 months up to. >> up to; right? >> up to. >> commissioner thomas. >> have we had many people and applicants in this position. >> i mean do you guys know the number we've had. >> how many people extend- i mean, i don't know i want to give this guess and probably in the order of 20; right? 20 percent or so typically, we'll run into some kind of snag on a bureaucratic

level and many cases like building an electrical or plumbing issue sort of things i'm kind of - who knows so maggie inherited and cammy inherited it,too the straddlers are taking a long time you know quite well on marin street still not accomplished i don't know when matt it's been at least december the pearl remember that one i think that is maybe enough and yeah ross are not because of operator who is not accomplishing those are people on them to be making the best effort to finish what needs to get finished in many cases the inspector is gone and now a new

one and can't source the materials a number of stories and you know rearing projects it takes time so typically we don't want to come to you that early but when we know there is it is a delay so people that don't have the issue but sometimes you know for for better or worse they want to get a continual grant a signal to move on spending the money on construction or renovation or even the transfer of ownership so this stuff happens in a different timeframe for everybody and sometimes there is a holed up and sometimes people end up in court you know you never know. >> so getting the ability to

extend the continental didn't mean in their operating a grant they're waiting to achieve the final permit. >> just to tell you the planning department might have a long a wait they don't come to us the planning department and everything under the building department like we have a lot of finals that are required in order to get a final permit and also materials to us in case you haven't noticed an explosion of construction in san francisco and everything from drywall and especially the drywall that had been soundproofing our place and technical is not an easy thing soundproofing used to be easy to get it was sub flooring but not easy to get. >> another example paradis

loans down to the studs so this is - again what i'm asking for in the language of the code that says showing the cause as the abilities to make that judgment call with the blessing. >> a question from the months to 2 years. >> potentially the way it reads it sort of you know little by little by little this could be that long like - >> can you get an extension. >> you can. >> so it is 18 months to 2 years. >> after the two years having the ability to do it in 12 months. >> if this is what it says okay. >> maximums 3 years. >> it's taken 3 years. >> educate the commission if someone has a piece of property and trying to build a club and

taken 3 years because not to operate and earn money and spend money or wait way wait the materials and inspection is just costing them a future they're not open. >> might as well give it up. >> it depends on how tenacious and how much money like you. >> (laughter). all right. i have a process question i think the codes clean up happened at the supervisors level do we have the ability to change this section of code assuming yes so i'm not asking you to change the section of code i'm asking to play out the last couple of sentences that says that the commission may spectacle all the directors in whatever manner the

power to extend the 9 months deadline >> i need you to make a formal action >> to - >> approve or. >> a to authorize staff. >> the use our discretion. >> that helps me think of a motion. >> any other during the course from commissioners are questions any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed commissioners. >> i want to make a motion. >> great. >> this body does designate to the director to extend the 9 month deadline. >> so you moved to give our director the power to extend the deadline. >> you bet. >> great a second. >> second and it's been moved

and seconded anything else. >> a question after the first extension you give them 9 more months. >> we can do anyway and thank you. >> you want the director to make the third extension. >> i want her it make all the extensions she wants we've conditioned the grant this is to finalize why bring that back to the commission to do what. >> what's the holdup. >> so recommend a better contraction i mean seriously. >> is there a problem or something we don't know about i don't think that will be that. >> not in our department we've conditionally granted the building department or the fire department has a holed up we have no power to do anything.

>> it it would be nice four future business. >> i will entertain a friendly amendment that if someone comes back with an extension more than the second 9 months that the director reports to the commission on that fact. >> is that okay. >> that's good. >> all right. that motion is clear >> okay. so this is a motion that didn't have a second yet. >> oh, commissioner caminong you second that. >> okay. great. >> on the motion as amended commissioner lee commissioner joseph commissioner caminong commissioner perez commissioner thomas president tan that item passes looks forward to not hearing that many updates from project moving on to item 5 police department questions or

comments oh, lieutenant is coming up great. >> right. >> good evening president tan commissioner joseph and commissioners lieutenants with the san francisco police department i want to briefly circle back this is a critical takeaway the executive director talked about the zero tolerance for breach as pointed out i think from the other components that need to get out to the security industry it they have to have a contingency plan with preparation to participate what historically we have not seen in clubs that specific event was well organized and involved any individuals and they came to distract the security and did it successfully that substantial allowed the reach and the

subsequence incident that followed i think we need to look at security for intellectually i do want to say the group tends stepped i applaud deputy director jocelyn kane we moved swiveling everything we we are getting will prevent in the future a breach audible noise to alert security the takeaway securities needs to be smarter and not easily distracted if they are and pulled from their post it is as simple as security pulled from in their post a bartender or any other staff manager needs to slide into that slot and it should happen smoothly and quickly and then

lastly i know executive director speaking about active shooters i want to brought to your attention this is an area the department is in very good shape twice we've conducted active shooter training as you recall we took over the schlage lot and did a school simulation i was telling me the executive director earlier today we used what is semi ammunition shooting live rounds the bullets are supposed is to be non-lethal and they are but they can pierce your skin i got cut it brings a real sense it is not a mock somewhere quickly with the theme of today is which is very different than in the past is in

a situation like this what we're training our officers to do so long as on scene someone takes charge and they make just i entry and the next time in passports times i should say what there was a lot of strategy well in the meanwhile a lot of can age on the inside now stop the threat we're doing the training in a way the officers don't know to know each but we're all taught to do it the same way it is intuitive and pretty effectual but you know the obvious realty excuse me - the obvious realty it puts our officers in an immediate threat we're training our officers unlike others staff we're con fronting the threat

with the goal of stopping it nfl in the past it is deny at the extension of active members of the departments such as ours anyway wanted to give you that update and the incident we are speaking it was a good wake up call but shows the city's commitment to zero tolerance o tolerance we met with them immediately and steps up to the plateed and studied the business for 4 working weeks a significant hit arguably close to a total annual income and the executive director said we're sensitive to employees they're impacted but on the other hand, it needed to be a serious wake up and i'll wrap up i met with the owners a little awhile go ago and did a walk through

they've doing everything we've asked from them and a bit of a bonus for people to like to enjoy the place we're getting a remodel because trufl the place never shut they didn't have time to get a good cleaning and updating and all that have. >> didn't go into the bathrooms but the space looks at good. >> i have a question so you have an active shooter situation and the police finally get notified it take time for the police to come and do their thing what is - there some protocol that is directed to the management and the employees of the night club maybe the patrons

but modern than hit a panic button. >> similar i mean, the vice president of i've had communications offline and basic things the ability to safely and quickly raise up the lighting you'll be surprised in some of clubs i've been in over the years and ultimately the place is sutd shut down are we waited while the place closes turn up the light a 2, 3, 4 thousand square feet and one hundred light bulb we need to come up similarly to what we did with your good neighbor policy and your security plan models was we have to starts looking at now okay you know what is your critical plan and what are basic

features that you'll have mechanical like lighting and you suggested in the past every disc jockey a dated term. >> they don't say disk york but to pop-in a play to redirect the energy in case we're getting the people out quickly overseeing kind of things those are why's that the executive directors and i have been talking about for your summit that is would be appropriate place i think to get that kind of information out and in a formalized way. >> this is a question for staff is there a way to message anything about security at this point just a permit holder outside of come october thirds you know, i feel like there

might be tips or measures that kind of the best practices and security. >> so again, we're going to do a call to get a sense of how much information and how much is appropriate and move it around on friday and then we can see if there is a little bit of something sensible to get out i don't want to - i mind want to do this smart and in concert with pd so everyone gets the same information and then sure i mean, if we can get something done sooner the ideas for them to finish the summit. >> the thank thing about panic b but the they have the ones you

squeeze together you have to intellectually do it to sound the alarm and the police respond immediately so having panic buttons about you itville and especially, if you have it in multiple places if the cashier didn't see it the barnyard or some of the dj see it and the bullets are good if you have an alarm system the company may give you one it is a cheap way to be safe but also training staff to hit the floor and hide or i don't know have bottles behind the bar do something to protect yourselves or take out the shooter it is important to establish protocols for what bar

staff can do to stay alive for themselves and patrons i'd like to us to think about that. >> you know i think that like so many projects we've taken on in the past we conveniently phrase best practices we're talking about critical and practices we have a lot of good dos and fridays conference call will be the first step hearing what others people are doing i agree with the executive director and yourselves the key to come up with a product that everyone is comfortable with and message it consistently one thing i was encouraged we try not i know that every industry saying their needs are special but looking it from the departments point of view i will want to make sure that if we're going to do something different for entertainment and genuine

need i'd like to think that a critical instance in a perfect scenario proevenl probably never it is we they they have basic elements and not train the departments with all nuances we miss the mark it is critical that with the right people at the table and have the discussion. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. any public comment on the police comments seeing none, public comment is closed. move on to item 6 residential development review consent calendar four projects on here. >> yeah. just as a review and you know sort of a little bit of inconsistent we had trouble with the quorum back the projects that have come to hearings and

then recommendations need to be september sent to planning and the building department they come to you as sort of you know a listing for your review not role for deduction but one content item to be voted on together >> all right. is there a motion. >> i move to approve the content agenda as it stands. >> do i hear a sec. >> second. >> great public comment not seeing any, public comment is closed. >> call the questions commissioner lee commissioner joseph commissioner caminong

commissioner perez commissioner thomas and president tan. >> that item passes consent calendar passes can i make a request to include just a little bit more information i think just the cover sheets in your packet the next time all around for the content items the listing is fine we want to get the practice that is having the cover sheet yeah - >> thank you. >> all right. moving on to item 7 i see 8 on the agendas is actually 7 hearing and possible action under the jurisdiction of entertainment commission only one tonight >> so our only permit application for place of

entertainment on utah street a change in ownership from the previous owner and they have already gotten a temporary permits if mission station as well as the executive director so there is no lapse in entertainment for the permits and currently they have the similar model for entertainment on djs and they plan to have live music and also are planning to add 20 thousands of sounds like installation to the ceiling as well as adrc sounds like curtains on the soundproofing this is not in a residential area if i neighborhoods in the area and i did receive a total of of 7 letters in support for those from the owners he have not's received any option mission station approved the

application with the attached continents on the last page i'm happy to read those of you like and the applicants is here they'll come up and talk about that. >> take into consideration a quick overall we plan on doing in terms of taking over mighty the application is simple mighty is a wonderful venue it can be international recognized in the music world we plan to create a beautiful new planned space and a need for a present location in san francisco operations and security

operations will be mirrored on what we do with monarch with a season manage and managing partners on premise and we make sure of that in order to provide a safe and entertaining environment for the patrons security will be provided by jury box security protection we've used them they've established the security company our plans for entertainment will be similar to the plan with the monarch house music your crowd is older in the 20 to 35 in the programming will reflect that sorry. >> they're to the youth tab. >> (laughter). i know we also plan to do some live bands from jazz to rock picture neighborhood outreach businesses

along impeding and 15 street and san bernardino were contacted and aware of the space known as money two letters from businesses across the street longevities residents of neighborhoods and 40 snatches from the building neighborhood and others neighbors from the south of utah we tried to open up to the businesses and fortunately to our delight the sent time was welcoming to the idea of our establishment i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> commissioner joseph. >> so you are not keeping any doorsteps. >> johnson is not assimilating that and one still remained on with johnson the reason we didn't stay that way mighty stated on and going with a

contracting service. >> but not try to transition. >> we offered the ability for them to join johnson security and one accident actually but that they needed guard cards, etc. >> i'm concerned eve people losing jobs and then under your your door policies bed checks is that what you're going to do bag checks. >> i think per the discussion we had previously our security in addition to whether it is bag or pat downs or pats in the front and making sure we have enough security guards to make sure the stairs and doors are covered after orlando there's been for me personally head of

the security and i had a conversation what can and should be aware of and pride it is more sensitive is an ongoing communication we see a daily conversation there were things that were brought up this evening i think we can push the buttons and in a straightforward way of protection one of the other items that the lieutenant mentioned was lighting and i ronnie in monarchy the ability to flip two switches it is nice to hear the things in place moving towards what is probably a new recognition of what security practices should be but rest assure we're talking about with the security team and look forward to a deduction with sfpd and the entertainment commission

and there is additional best practices and want to know about them and i will say that practice them but understand what we can do whether it is just to be pro-active but the circumstances that arose to training our staff. >> great to that end i'll recuse myself to vote. >> thank you commissioner joseph. >> can you can you talk a little bit about the improvements you're making there is additional soundproofing are you doing other things to the actual space and primarily cosmetic the great thing why we're excited one of the reasons it has great incentives you go into clubs that is just a wreck and have to start from scratch mighty has been operating

incredibly well from manchester it makes it easy for the owners to transition we will want to establish a new brands and fortunately, i think we'll do that with cosmetic. >> are you planning are strictly in house promotion. >> primarily. >> we'll work with some promoters but pro tempore's we've worked with for the last 5 years and established a relationship at monarchy and known the entertainment industry. >> i think know that a lot of people use the mighty for if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer thems it will be available for that. >> absolutely absolutely we'll work with a number of people that worked with mitigate yet and this weekends coming up with

the pride with that said it is going took available so far if you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer thems or working with the promoters but fundamentally the important thing we'll always be there and on the floor never giving up any managerial abilities that's 100 percent. >> i get it commissioners other questions commissioner lee. >> the same security team as monoarches the same company. >> monarchies has their challenges. >> as a venue done a good job with the local neighborhood trying to make sure the partners are safe and it is a different over at mighty but still you know we want to be pro-active

because cars get broken into and people leave the club so at monarchy we do our best to take care of the patrons inside and outside i spoke with the folks from the alu and conditions of the licenses to be pro-active if we see something happened with criminal activity or they might be break into cars. >> tow so tomorrow you'll, joining the rest of club owners. >> one of our other partners will be there and representing monarchy at the station. >> have you seen the police conditions i'm assuming having video surveillance and report for thirty days. >> yes. >> okay. >> commissioners other

budget, academy 25 anniversary and special events and communication and outreach from the public. report from administration-report on the administrative division facility status, finance, and training within the department. >> thank you. supervisor tang has now entered the chambers. what we can do is go back to item 3 and then return to item 5. thank you. >> item 3, proposed legislation from the board of supervises. discussion and possible action. fire code disclosure of fire safety information. ordinance amendsing the san francisco fire code to require building owners and home owners associations to provide fire safety information to residents in buildsings with 3 or more

dwelling units and annually fire safety information and train toog residents in building with 16 or more units making findings to local conditions per suntd to california health and caed and directing the board of supervisors to transmit the ordinance to appropriate state officials. >> thank you, madam secretary. welcome supervisor tang. >> thank you so much for taking the item so quickly. good evening commissioners. ka ty tang. the legislation is amend the fire code and there are 3 component tof. one is building with 3 units of more we like to require in common areas there be a posting regarding fire safety information. we am vision thill will be in the form of a map with symbol squz language when inspections were

done to fire extinguishers and safety so it can be cultural competent. the second component is in buildings with 16 or more units scr the reason it is 16 or more is there is requirement that there be a resident manager living on site so in those buildsings we require there be a annual training with the tenants living in the building about fire safety and prevention. i think this is incredibly important because we have more and more people living in san francisco and together and more and more devices we are using there is so much more in terms of fire hazards we are all creating, so it is my goal to insure that through the trainings, the residents not only know what to do in the event of a fire, but also better prepare to prevent it in the first place. thirdly, for buildings we are also requiring

that each year the building the lands lord or resident manager provide disclosure to each tenants about fire safety and prevention. it contains similar information posted in the common areas but can also contain information contained in the trainings as well. again, we would like to groiment document where emergency exists and are, last inspection squz how to access fire extinguishers and so forth. and if for the training portion, if the tenant does not attend, then we hope that the information in writing will help with the tenants. and so, just to take a step back, knroe there have been a lot of fires that occurred in the city recently and especially in the mission and so forth. we actually introduced theolog

slaigz july lats year after the office had under gone the nurt training so after that i saw very inspired to work on legislation especially deal wg multiunit buildings and making sure people feel prepare squz how to prevent fires occurring. i think preparedness is the best way to go and most likely we will all probably-there may be a higher risk suffering from a fire incident than something else like a tsunami so after we had introduced the legislation i know the fire safety taskforce was started and had done a lot of work to figure what we can do to better prepare or residents in san francisco. we had waited until the process concluded to move frrd with our legislation but it actually ironicly had nothing do it r with it, we had

gone through the nurt training and wanted to do something with fl city. it that is the legislation in a nutshell. if you have questions i can answer them. we went through all building inspection and cac and took recommendations such as any time the housing inspectors go on routine inspections they also look out for the common area postings that are required. >> wonderful. thank you so much for being here and thank you for being so diligent in introducing this legislation after your nurt training. a neighborhoods emergency response team is great and think it is fabulous that not only have you gone through had training but staff members as well. i should call for public comment before hand and i'll see if our commissioners have questions for you mpt . >> great, thank you. >> thank you. any member of

the public that would like to comment on the proposed legislation? seeing none, public comment is closed. i will go to fellow commissioners and comments and questions beginning with commissioner cleveland >> thank you madam chair and supervisor tang for breeing here and introducing this legislation. i think all of us are keenly aware currentsly of a deficiency in the building stock in the city, particularly the residents. i would like to ask a few questions about the legislation if i may. first off, it is residential we are talking about and so i think in the top portion of the legislation ordinance amendsing san francisco fire code we should insert residential where it speaks to building so we are clear we are dealing with buildings people live in. >> we can make that amendments.

[inaudible] >> i had a call today from one constituent saying does this mean that in residential buildings we have to have fire drills? i looked at this and nothing says we have to have fire drills like commercial office buildsings so nothing requires fire drills, correct? >> it does not require fire drills, it is really a information session. if they want to walk through emergency exists they are welcome to do that and may encourage that. >> was there consideration when thinking about this differentiateing between buildsings that are sprinkleed and those that were not ? >> the legislation can be achievable in any building regardless if you have splinklers or not. that is

touchy subject because of thecast. >> the buildings that are sprinkled perhaps their set of rules can bree different, less of a requirement. just suggesting that as something to consider maybe as a amendment to your current legislation. um, i'm curious about how we will communicate to tenants and if tenants are not responding to what they have in their tenant spaces, if they are unresponsive are you suggesting the landlord send certified letters to all tenants so their apartment buildings saying you have to smoke detectors in every bed room or sleeping area. you have to have co 2

detectors? if you have unresponsive tenant, what do and do? >> so, first to take a step back, we are not requiring the resident managers require anything of the tenants. this is simply information on prevention and so forths and preparedness in case of a fire, so there is nothing that says the landlord or residents manager need to insure yes, there is a working smoke detector even though that is already required in all units. so, there is nothing-no additional requirement for the landlord to check. [inaudible] >> even they are in the units and have been disabled for some reason it is not going to be the landslords responsibility to make sure that fire- >> not through this legislation. >>-is armed so to speak. >> not through this legislation, we encourage the landlords and building managers

to make sure they are functional and working but doesn't require the lands lord to do that. >> i can see in the common areas it is the lands lords responsibility but in the tenant areas it is much harder to supervise. >> exactly >> you are asking the fire department to provide a lot more oversight, if you will on residential apartment buildings and to make sure that they are educating, if you will, the tenants on fire safety and make sure there are postings and what not. this will cost more money and take more time and wondering if you have done assessment or gotten any dollars and cents figures on just what it will cost to ramp up this additional inspection? >> so, so far what we are in am midst of the budget process as you all probably know so i know

there is a request in terms of fire prevention safety particularly in the mission district so i'm okay if for example our legislation-if there a focus in the mission given so many fires have baracken out, there is the pot of funding we'll find out soon if it is in the budget and move from there. the in next budget process we will reevaluate whether more is needed. >> do you see the budgeting focused on certain neighborhoods like the mission, tenderloin and chinatown, areas that are dense and had issues? >> i think it should be city wide that we all have personal preparedness and so forth. now again, because what happened in the mission recently, i'm okay if we want to start there first and thing city wide >> some of the additional

funding to go to create training materials, if you will, safety training teerms the fire department could dissiminate. it is great if it fire department had the fundsing and put the notices together, on line it could be downloaded and uploaded and printed out and fill in the blanks with the number of units and safety tips because they will be uniform a lot of time squz add ichb the ones particular to your building. i think it is a great idea and think your legislation is a positive step in the right direction, it just needs to be funded nchlt >> sure, and quee will know soon if the effort will be funded and can advocate for more once we enter the next fiscal year to broaden the scope of that work. and again, i think that a lot of our work does overlap with the fire safety task force recommendations as well, so i

think that there is already talk of that funding because of that process. >> thank you, supervisor. >> thank you, vise president cleveland. commissioner nucauja >> thank you very much and thank you supervisor tang coming this evening and making a presentation on this change. is it a change or is it a clear addition to the building code? the reason i frame it that way, maybe i should just comment that -i want to be clear that we are looking at buildings with tenants with 3 or more or 16 or more and 3 and more is more of a education posting, i'm just paraphrasing, the 16 plus is rolled into integration of training by the individual tenants with accountability and some responsibility by the

owner. i deem on the hearing that your inspiration came from nurt training i thank you for the participation and inspiration because you know as well as i do nurt training or the concept is city wide. it is preparation for everybody in the city and county of san francisco. it is volunteer mechanism. what i hear through this is we are triing to get the tenants of the building owners to join in education to the individuals in a language they understand as to information printed to advance their safety. that is kind of how i get this interpreted so when i ask if this is different than supervisor campos legislation it is vastly different because it focus on the similarities of fires in the community. in the mission it talks about fire systems and

fire alarms in terms of cost additional responsibility for our personnel in terms of the question that i asked is the oversight. in this lard regard as i understand it, concept wale it sound like a great idea to educate tenants and have training. my question is you have all these levels, who will reinforce the participation because there is a point behind all this and if i may, supervisor, i can like to ask madam president, chief prevention as to as you introduce this maybe you can answer some of this too, introductions is there something within the buildings code that does want address these? i like to hear the fire departments take on this as it

is adequate look at supervisors and chief gun jolls >> we are will toog work on this legislation. i spoke with [inaudible] fiscal impact on the fire department and i do agree that we should do it as a priority where we have to go first. i think that what my fire marshal said i can have him [inaudible] is that this could be a possibility potential 25,000 buildings and if that is the case i believe one fte full time employee can handle 2 thousand of those and that would be a impact to the department. we look forward work wg you and getting down to the finer details of a legislation if it does pass. dan, if you like to further comment on how much it might impact us, if you can-- >> chief gonzalez, at thistume

i like to hear from fire marsing decossio. >> good evening commissioners, chief. we met today and in full agreement and think this is a good idea, the question is resources and what it take tooz implement this. i spoke with the plan check section. we do something similar with business and high rise buildings and with hotels and motels. basically those occupancy transient in nature. these maps and evacmaps and safety maps familiarize the occupants with their surroundings. that is why it isn't typically seen in apartment buildsings because they live there and there long term, however i agree we

reinforce the notion to familiarize yourself with the building. having said that, each map compare today what we do now with office buildsings is basically over the counter review and takes about a hour to review. we can do each site in about a hour so one hour per map for each building for plan review and for field inspections it takes two tripsism wego out the first pass-usually you voosoft copy of the map you place for orientation and look at the layout of the building, is everything configured correctly and oriented correctly. once approved that goes for manufacturing and do follow up inspection. total of 3 hours-not talking high rise buildings, we are talking

buildings 3, 4 stories in height a average 3 hours a building. the number of buildsings we have now, if we look at 3 units and more, approximately 25,000 buildsings so assume those buildings that don't have common areas and direct access to public way, this would be a non issue as far at the maps. i don't know how that changes the numbers, but it will be at least 20,000. 16 or more units now we expect 9 or more and thatd is about 5,000 a year. where does 16 cut off? i'm not sure what the numbers are yet for the training. i like to speak to the supervisor and get more detail on her vision oof what type of training involves and oversight or regulation, what role we play in that. again, concept wale we like the idea, just need to dig more and get better understanding and detail

and also our resources that will be needed. >> thank you. mr. courseo, do you have anything to add and supervisor tang i'm sure would like to speak again. >> mark coursey. just to echo what chief decossio and gonzalez. to insure we have sufficient resources to undertake what is required. there is overlap on some of the functioniment the department does and there also is the evnew for revenues generated for inspection and plan review so don't think that is a issue, it is just dependent and working closely with supervises office on the details whether is phased or how the roll out will be implemented to insure we have sufficient resources. >> thank you mr. corso.

>> thank you and one thing that would add is we have been in conversations for example with the department association and i think that is a really great avenue and even the small properties association as well to have maybe there are some forms that would be generated by the fire department and spoke about this at the building inspection cac meeting. the department association can turn arounds the information so we don'ts always have to go to the fire department staff so that something we discussed early on about so it doesn't overburden the fire department staffing. >> thank you. i'll go back to commissioner nakajo. >> thank you. i did want to hear from chief decossio and

mr. corso. when the numbers come to me of 3 to 16 it covers everybody's. for myself when it was bigger residents or numbers there is a limititation or variable with that mptd the numbers we are talking about is everybody. so, for me if this is part the spirit of education, concept wale i support that. what i want to hear from the department is enforcement of this as the inspectors go to the residents what additional time it will take for us to do that and there is additional work and coordination between the department and various tenant. i think that is a lot of work but support it and think it is real important. i think that the whole spirit of nurt is get folks volunteer to the table to educate them sevl squz be prepared. i think the goal of this legislation the way i read it and educate as many people we can in terms of what to do

in the light of tragedy or fire. to me it makes sense. every hotel room i go to as i close the door i look for the map where i am i look frg the star how to get the heck out of there if something happens like a fire. for me in terms of the tenant or individuals to create that preparedness i think is a good thing so just wanted to comment on that and make sure we have revenue reinforcement within the legislation. >> one of the things i would also note that not only is it about personal preparedness but the property owner or manager has to do that posting with information about when things are last inspected, i think it also serves as reinforcement they are doing their job to make sure just like we have to make sure the elevator permit is updated ever year, we want

to make sure they do their job tooz have the inspections. one other thing i forgot tonote is this legislation has a new requirement where in those multiunit building there would be a visible place where the residents manager or the landlord have information reposted so if a fire inspector goes into the building for routine inspection they can easily contact the manager and this was a suggestion brought to me and thought it made sense because i live in the multiunits building and the fire inspectors came in and couldn't get a hold of the managers. they did come and found a violation and can imagine this happening countless time. my hope is it reduces staff time to come back to a building to access when the resident manager isn't there and don't know their phone number. i hope that will

help. >> thank you. commissioner mardman. hardeman. >> thank you madam president and supervisor tang for taking this challenge on. and thanks for your demeanor. you didn't come and scream at the commissioners and all the chiefs about the fire on mission street again, appreciate that. it was a very tragic one. chicago and new york have legislation and sure they have similar legislation, anybody check with them? >> no, i did not personally. >> it seems to me they probably would have done this type of a legislation. just curiosity. i do appreciatetle is all positive for the fire commission and for the fire department because all the

intentions are meant to help people and to-so the finances of it is something that has to be worked out but it is very well written, very thankful you are involved because just the way you carry yourself whether it is a committee meeting or supervisor meeting or here, very good demeanor and nice way of dealing with people. i just want to comp lment you on. >> thanks. i want to go back to commissioner nakajo question between the difference between what supervisor campos put forth and this before you. one key difference is the fire code supervisor compos such on the building and fire code. ours has more in termoffs the postings and trainings but both

have intept making sure certain things are working in terms of fire safety. for implementation we have work to do to make sure we are coordinateed on both pieces and will follow up on the funding discussion and so forth. >> thank you. supervisor tang, can you tell me a little more about how the two legislations that are being proposed would be combined or joined? >> so, what we tried to do was at least tried to write it in a way for implementitation will be easier. i original had for building of 5 unit or more the postings in the common areas take place. because supervisor campos impacts 3 or more 1 why i changed my. i hope the way we structured it awill allow all the staff to piece the two

legislation together and it is a streamline way of implementation. >> where does the legislation rest now? >> it will be heard by committee at the board for the fire commission decides to give some sort of recommendation today. >> okay. and what about the buildings that don't have a traditional common area you know like a number of victorians, people have their own separate entrances so other than the stoop landings, there is no common area. >> so, we discussed this at the building commission meeting as well and removed language about what to do in those situation. the building inspection folks felt there are so few types of those buildings there is a way to post it somewhere. i did

want to put it in legislation but that can be sorted out. just somewhere where people can see it. >> i think the legislation is good and think a number of commissioners have all said you know, we just need to make sure there is funding in place to be able to fulfill our obligations. you talked about a phased roll out, can you talk more about that? >> i don't think i mentioned a phased roll out, i talked about in this budget process we are trying to secure fundsing for fire prevention outreach in the mission and so hopefully that will stick and we will evaluate how much is needed for the program and get it into next years budget >> for this program and inspections that are needed, when would you expect all the buildings to have been inexpected?

>> eventually once the ordinance takes effect and the date of it it is supposed to be annually, however, within issue that came up is the fact that with building inspection you got inspectors inspecting a certain number of units every 5 years fire department got 3 plus units and every year-there is a gap in terms of inspections between the building commission commission-building inspector squz fire staff and so i think that is a larger conversation. i don't think we will be able to solve that with legislation but it is issue we noted and so again, that is why we actually wrote into our legislation that when a building inspector is coming to a building they can also look for this if sthra gap period at least the

fire-hopefully there is a way the building inspectors can notify the fire department has been done. >> is there a task force or joint committee or any particular body that will be grappling with the details of implementation? >> there isn't a committee but hope to use the fire safety task force if we need to work out more details here. >> okay, because i think the details with a vore short timeframe coming up, the beginning of 2017 the details will have to be hammered out fairly quickly so getting all the parties slav involved in the same room to do that would help us in terms of implementitation. >> absolutely. >> thank you i see vice president cleveland has a comment and commissioner nakajo.

>> thank you. i want to first thank you work wg the residential property owners association in the city to gauge their input on how they will implement it. my question follows on to our presidents question, you have 20 to 25,000 buildsings that need to comply with the ordinance and be inspected, when do you think all 20 to 25,000 buildings will be inspected for compliance? >> yadon't know that answer, i think had fire department is probably better equipt to answer that. we can look into a more phased in roll out if that is something you desires in terms of the workload but don't know how you would face it out or certain neighborhoods. i don't know if i want it based on neighborhoods, but knroi better than i how long it take tooz complete your inspections.

>> you want me to-i'll differ to our chief. >> again phrvisor tang, we offer our cooperation and use a matrix and it isn't by neighborhoods but we have a lot of variables but would be a phase out approach and would look to find efficiency if we have to train building owners maybe we can create a module. we talked about maybe something on a website that they made sure they done this and every tenant checked it off. we are willing to work with you and want to find cost efficiency, we just know it will be a fiscal impact but remains tobe seen and don't expect it will be 25,000 in a year >> i can work to amend the language ifinacysary to accommodate your inspection

schedule at committee. there is still wiggle room for that. >> absolutely and offer fire marshal decozeios services for that. >> thank you. >> thank you supervisors. i think with supervisor wiener codes legislation and campos and now with your legislation fire department is hit with a lot of new requirements, if you will and a lot more work, so we are not adverse to it, i think the commission supports all the initiatives of the 3 supervisors here including yourself, we just need the finances and ability to actually do it. thank you. >> thank you vise presidents cleveland. at this time it would be appropriate for a motion. put your thinking caps on and i'll go to commissioner nakajo.

>> thank you madam president. i was trying to get a point of clarifyication with you supervisors as you would like to see as we had this discussion with the various recommendation squz suggested amendments to recommend and approve this this evening, is that what we are doing this evening supervisor? >> sure if you like to sends forth recommendations you like me to make by the time the legislation hits committee i'm happy to work on those. >> for myself i think all agree with it. i see it as a huge task and education task. as commissioners expressed to support it and see how it works out logistically is the key issue and don't think we need to repeat how we will function with that. i hear some kind of a possible amendment in terms of prioritys or roll out

dependent on the priorities that occur within the mission all in the spirit of fire prevention and education city wide, so again, i would lean on the department to come out to when they think realistic to address the questions vise president cleveland put out, when do you think this would be accomplished? the other part is it is a huge education piece. nurt is such a big education piece so part of that is our department within the last couple years are growing and evolving into all types of services and legislation within the city. madam president, i like to make a motion to recommend we approve this legislation sponsored by supervisor tang. >> thank you commissioner nakajo. thank you for your

second vice president cleveland. just reviewing the discussion that we had this afternoon, early evening. does your motion include making it clear that this is for residential buildings only? and also, the prompt of a phased out program. >> i'll let the supervisor responds to again the clear definition of what we are trying to target but the phase out concept i think you understand the spirit of that with the fire department is coordinateed discussion of how we will be able to implement this lined up with responsibility of budget revenues so we can realistically do this and

figure out with-come out with supervisor campos as tohow politically and use that delicately phase out with the city in fire safety. i think we are all on the same page so supervisor- >> if you want to include that in the recommendation i think that is great and happy to make those amendments at committee. >> thank you. we have a motion on the floor, we have a second. we have acceptance of friendly amendment to the motion and all in favor please signify by saying aye. >> aye. >> thank you so much. >> thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> we appreciate you as well. madam secretary. >> do you want me to recall item 5? >> yes, ifia could. >> item 5, chief of department

report. report from mark gonzalez, report on currents iges as, actaveties and esuperintendent since meeting june 8, 2016 including fiscal year 2015-16 budget academies and 150th an zrsry, update and special eventsen communication and outreach to other government agencies and the public. rortd from administration, report on the admin straisive division of fleet, facilities, status and finance support services, home land security and training within the department. >> it would be a few weeks before we would address the fire that happened over the weekend but i did visit the site yesterday and chief suhr was very kind to show me around

and talk about some things so i asked for a detailed report to the commission this evening regarding that and it will be part of chief gonzalez report. >> thank you. good evening commissioners. i'll start off the chiefs report with the 5th alarm in bruno heights saturday. i did respond to it. assistant chief suhr was assistance commander. he was present would a very challenging fire from the get go. it was a windy day, afternoon and warm day. a large amount of black smoke. it looked like it was coming from the hotel on the corner but it was behind the hotel and more than one building was involved. he had to make decision based on what he saw first and it was a changing environment and fire. i like

to cu-mind all the units. they all did a great job. without the coordinateed fire tactic they did do they would have lost a lot more than 6 buildings. with that, i like to introduce chief to the presentation. >> welcome chief. >> this is a really preliminary report limited in nature based on what we know to this point. chief gonzalez asked me to hasteen my report to him and will try to get that done in the next couple weeks if possible. i put together some of the facts of the incident and videos i was able to download. if you look up on the screen over here--5th alarm

the incident number phone call came in at 1419 or 219 in the afternoon. the reported address is 3312 mission street which is south of the corner buildings of 3300 mission street. wish that was bigger for us to see, but some of the times-219 is when the call came in. at 1423 so 4 minutes later 4 units arrived and announced it was a working fire. upon my arrival observing smoke conditions, the potential for a fire and looking at the size of the building we requested second alarm which brings 4 additional engines and truck company and battalion cheap. went to 4 alarm. additional rest cue quadand another rescue

captain. at the third alarm things were very dynamic, there were a lot of things going on and input coming from the interior companies and my observations and started to anticipate the need for the potential for setting up exterior operations so i called another truck company before asking for the forth alarm. it become clear additional resources will be required. 1441 hours which is 13 minutes later from the forth alarm, we started to have problems with water run off from the building and so a utility unit was called from station 21 to move water and dealing with the sewer and water department to deal with the run off and hose streams opraiterating in the building to prevent further property damage from water. at 1820 hours we declared the fire

contained but it wasn't until the next morning when we declared the fire under control. the total resources we had on scene were 22 engine companies, aithd truck companies, both rescue squads, [inaudible] 3 rescue captains and number of specialized pieces of equipment for about half the on duty staff. preliminary estimate on property loss is $9 million. displaiss octpoints are 60. we had two civilians transported for smoke inhuilation and one other individual was evaluated at the scene and released from the parent and as far as i know the cause is still under investigation. we continued with operations at the fire. i did-i observed and clearly understood the original

companies on the scene had taken energy and smoke and heat so it was my primary ub objective to rotate the companies to get cleaned up and take a shower and get rest and get hydrated. we continued with the fire watch at 8 o'clock working with [inaudible] at the communication center. in 4 hour increments we had battalion chief, 4 engines and 2 truck companies. we remained on site and released the properties back to the building ownersion at 2000 hours sunday evening. to give a orientation, this is looking south on mission street. mission street is the larger intersection here on the left

and this is 29th street below. the corner building. --that is interesting the red dot doesn't work on the screen. let me walk over here. this is the building at 29th and mission and this is [inaudible] this is 29th street. this area behinds the building is extension or [inaudible] of the hardware store on 29th street and delivery access door and slopes down fl to the basement area. we have [inaudible] down 29th

street westbounds on 29th street. when i first arrived on scene when we approached the scene i saw the smoke conditions over the corner apartment building, something all as chief officers look at and realize once it gets into the attic space we will have our hands full. the smoke conditions and put into my hard drive is i had a fire in the corner buildings. the smoke was over the top the building looked like it was coming from the rear. one reason i went for saecd alarm, i anticipated getting companies inside. the first engine company thought the same thing, the initial hose line going into this fire entered that property on the mission street side on the stair well that went up the stairs. i [inaudible] on 29th

street as i walk into set up [inaudible] i observed 11 engines taking their hose line into the building. i think the primary fire is in the corner building. different perspective, this is now looking west. you see the corner building at 29 th and mission, the hard ware and store with the tarp on top. probably about the half mark maybe less than that became well involved in the fire and fire was-it appears the origin of the fire is in the triangular area at the rear the building [inaudible] if you look that orientation, it is quickly intathe corner building, [inaudible] this is

westbound on 29th street. engine companies, engine 26 [inaudible] on the mission street side and coming down 29th street they noticed that that building the first building west was being impacted by fire and positioned there and informed me to knock down fire in that location. from a orientation perspective, this is a typical san francisco challenge for all of us because of how buildsings are laid out in san francisco. we have zero property lines. our buildings are very dense. i'm looking at the corner apartment building and of all the challenges and priorities that i had to think about, the time of day was to our advantage. a fire at 2:20

in the afternoon on saturday and put it at 2:20 in the morning i have different objective squz priorities. very fortunate at the end we have two minor injuries. to me it is a comp lment to men and women of the department how this was handsled. any questions about there orientation? we can come back to that if we need to. so, i downloaded 3 videos. this video here is probably one of the earliest videos available for this incident. it is someone on a muni bus. the muni bus is heading north on mission street. [inaudible] this is [inaudible] the smoke conditions are on the top of

the building [inaudible] indicated to me it was potentially in the corner building. there is a short amount of time this bus sitting here [inaudible] becomes significant in a short amount of time. towards the rear of the building, if you remember the orientation that is at the-if you look that front of 3300 mission street is the left rear the building in the coal hardware area. this is probably if i was to be betting this is about 2 or 3 minutes after we are on scene. this fire has a significant head start and has energy behind it and there is a usual for that time of day but maybe more than usual wind blowing west toeast and can see the smoke leaning in that direction. so, this

video is taken from across the street maybe just a little later, probably i'm geing to guess probably 1435 or 1440. one thing i find curious about this is that you can hear the wind. you can see the trees moving and how the smoke is laying down. [inaudible] you can see the fire coming out of the top of the roof. this is 10 to 12 minutes after on scene [inaudible] one thing i liked about the video is it shows the fire conditions and short amount of time and see the win conditions we are confrontsed

with. the first engine company took the hose line up the coal hardware. they are going up a chimany with wind coming down at them. it is probably soon after i see the conditions changing in hearing report of the battalion chief i made the determination to remove the fire fighters and get into exterior operations for defensive operation. this is now the building next to the coal hardware store. it was under construction, so it was wide open and no sheet rock, it was studded up walls, the rear window was [inaudible] so it wasn't going to take much energy to get of the coal hardware store and into this building. that's the presentation up to this point from arrival on the scene at

1419, rapid progression to second, third, special call of 4th and 5th alarm. some unique challenges is we have dealing with hardware store and you center small propane tanks blowing and paint cans. the owner of the building talking about being furt ertilizer in the building. [inaudible] did air monitoring and had the department of public helths come out and support with water run off dealing with the sewer department. at some point in the early stages we were contacted by saint lukes hospital to the north of this location and they are concerned about smokegretting into their building. i worked closely with public nrfgz officer who contacted emergency communication to put out a advisory in a 5 block area to

shelter in place because of the amount of smoke and potential of hazards in the air from this type of fire. between air monitoring, water run off, rapid advancement of fire conditions on the ground, once again at the conclusion of all this, very proud of the response that injuries were at a minimum and the potential for what it could have been is a true testament to the men and women of our department. >> wonderful, thank you cheer for that update and thank you for gathering the information for residents in such a timely fashion. we will go back to chief gonzalez report. you want to ask him now? okay. alright, chief the commissioners would like to hear you now, they can't wait.

commissioner nakajo. >> madam president, thank you very much chief for your report. we again know that usually we wait for couple weeks for the report but because of the enormity of the fire and most recent and all the fires in the mission we thank you for the timely update and report. truly appreciate the way you described it chronologically as the engines and men and women responded. before i ask anything i want to echo the comlment to you chief and all the men and women in the department that respondsed to that fire. um, folks know i have been here for a little while but a 5 alarmer is a big one and just a observation how quickly it went from 2 to 3 to 4 again for us a lot of us in

the department once you hit 3 and 4 you are really paying attention, not that you don't pay attention to the other levels. with it being in the mission is again in the mission. seeing how it fs and observation from the television crew jz such i know at one time we had a video recorder that would bring all the material to us and perhaps some day we can coordinate with the tv station tooz take advantage on that but this helps. can you tell what is geing on with the building? you talked about 60 civilians but in termoffs the fire department is the work done, are there stationed with personnel and turned it over so chief could i getd response? >> i can get clarity from had

fire marshal but it is my understanding the hotel may be saved because it is sprinklered. [inaudible] under dbi at the time. >> yes, the corner building sro had a sprinkler system. also a fire alarm which functioned properly, arriving units herd the soundsing alarm. the buildings are in the hands of the building department, their jurisdiction and to my understanding they will demolish two of them declaring a emergency demolition within the next few days. that is all i have at this time. >> chief the other thing and observation, it seems there are tenants and businesses. as you go and do your inspections and make sure that fire is completely out, it seemed to me

that a lot of the personnel or individuals that attendance on the streets, they needed more information or again, i express this and i was young but my family had a 4 alarm fire and say thank god for the red cross but folks want to know what to do, where to go, do i get to pick up my materials so it is there coordination between ourselves through the department, between the fire department and mayors office or building department that you knowx i think we talked about someone being there providing information to the public citizens as to what is going on and madam president, i also wanted to go and observe but because of that not knowing exactly what will be on i hesitateed not to put curious what is in place or what is not in place and what we might be able to do:

>> i think president covington experienced some of it yesterday. 8 o'clock sunday evening the fire department officially turned the building back it the owners and outside agencies from the mayors office, dbi, are on sight and deal wg building owners. to your point when i stepped out of the vehicle yesterday the tenants of the buildings are seeking a lot of information and if there somebody on site from the city to assist, as a fire department we become caunds wit to get debi or mayors office involved. i think it would be in the best interest of the city for all of us if somebody remainled on site in a vehicle or information sentser people that are displaced and looking for pass ports and personal

belongings and told they can't go back in the building and the owners are not being as responsive as they would like. i will say is the city family, mayors office, dbi, fire department needs to provide a presence for some period of time . i think it would help mitigate that and be the proper thing to do. >> chief did you want to respond? y i have a couple things. that day when the tenants did come back and saw the circumstances, there was a collection point for the occupant in the safe way parking law with red cross and mayors office and supervisor campos and our chief of department came back on duty for the fire and there was direction given to the

occupants then. also what we are doing there is a meeting friday with the residents and the community and mayor campos, dbi and ourselves, so there is follow up. i do believe that this is the hardest thing, you lose everything. thankfully everybody is healthy but need direction especially a lot of the poor citizens in the sro, a lot don'ts have fire insurance and there should be something available to them. >> i appreciate this information but commissioners and colleagues, when the fire department goes out whether it is inspecting units folks gravitate to the department and want help. that is what is going on and if the fire department is there we try to provide as much as we can and it is lot of information we cannot provide. >> i think that is correct. there needs to be a

collaboration of city agencies to work with each other and there needs to be a overarching authority and there are different types of occupants, so to speak and where to direct them for help would help. >> i will give a example, a gentlemen came by the fire house how he will get hiss pass port and the valivation army sent them to the fire house to see if we can help is so made phone call squz got him in the right direction. if there was somebody on site for a period of time, people just want information. >> i think at some point we should try to take this and real action. i like to collaborate with our commissioners on this department. again i know we take a lot of responsibility but something like this if it doesn't exist it doesn't have to be a 5 alarm fire, it can be any major incidence, if your house is there, you still go

there. what do you do? i think we should try to come up with a coordination so i will put it up to administration and presidents of the commission and colleagues to try to do something about that and follow through the the department or mayors office or who ever needs to be involved. thank you very much. >> thank you. any other commissioners have questions for chief? >> i want to echo commissioners nakajos sentiment that i commend you and everyone involved fighting the fire and putting it out as quickly as possible, saving lives so like to commend everyone putting the fire out. >> commissioner hardeman. >> yes. another job well done.

wisdom, that is what comes when somebody has been arounds a while and that is what you bring to the table. i like that you pulled everybody out of the building when you did. it was a good time. glad to hear you sent the earliest crew back, that comes from judgment being around. you knee the heat of that is the most--i was watching in sacramento, i was at my daughter in laws soccer game. [inaudible] anybody knows soccer been arounds a long time, she plays on the team sporadicly because she is pretty old and scored a goal in the 89th minute and the team won. but your judgment, quite often your name comes up. when you go to work you can count

there will be a great alarm fire so it pays to stay home. >> that will be coming soon. >> we don't want you to retire. at least i want to encourage-- to do that. anyway, that was quite a-6 buildings, watching and listening to it and the sound was amazing hear thg water and wind and thought i heard a chain saw in the background, so amazing it didn't spread further and congratulations on a great job and made the san francisco fire department look good. thank you. >> okay. chief gonzalez did you want to say something? >> i just like to reiterate that [inaudible] did a great job as did the other units [inaudible]

san francisco fire department. >> thank you. chief [inaudible] there is a lot to be said for the amount of experience that is needed to coordinate this effort when you have 6 buildings ingulfed and involved and even-thank bauz god for a lot of things, the time of day and the fact the sro had sprinklers and alarms. that made a tremendous reason and one reason we are pushs for all the safety measures. i want to share with the commissioners that we know during the heat of the moment that our members are of the department are cool

headed and efficient and very good at what they do but also afterwards. yesterday when i was with chief [inaudible] a number of people were standing outside of the building saying we want to get in and need to get in. this young man from france who could not have access to his pass port, it was the second day we was told you will be able to get into the building today so he lost two days of work and it seems as if he showed up at the fire station- >> it was a different person. >> okay. another story. people are not only hungry for information, they are des prit for information about how they can be reunited with their important papers and their things. to commissioner nakajos suggestion and i know

chief sera guza and chatted about this yesterday, there does have to be better coordination, there does have to be a point person to make sure that when so many peoples homes and belongings are involved, that there is a person who can answer their questions and give them a time table, a real-time table, not a estimate well sometime this week, so again to commissioner nakajos statement, if we have to take the lead on pushing for such a person in such a process i think it is all to the good. thank you for your excellent presentation and thank you also chief [inaudible] you there? hello. alright. and now we will return to the chiefs
