>> public comment on the minutes hearing >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? minutes passes. >> item 4 general public comment i see mr. da costa has public comment good afternoon. >> good afternoon, commissioners today i'll be speaking about the digesters i wanted the commissioner to pay attention including the attorney so there was a time when the people of san francisco were told that a san francisco public utilities commission would address the mitigation of 0 both at the time the clean drinking water and the wastewater and when the time came the commission at the time not to commission maybe commissioner caen was on the commission that

decided okay. we are going to stick with the clean water and relegate the wastewater to the side this is what is happening if the bayview or the white communicated and was bombarded with a stench we get there would be a hue and cry the epa and the president of the united states maybe invited to take a sniff at what is happening this is continuing to happen in the bayview even though the digesters in district 10 see this stench what happened with the stop i'm not blaming them some of them maybe climate to the stench we want to know just the public wants to know if billions of are spent on the

digesters what is happening a timeframe what really is happening when will the stench be addressed how will that be addressed when will the digesters come and y what year 2020 are 2030, 2040. >> now 5 percent of the community fund westbound set aside another one and $50 million you didn't notice directly but you know this indirectly 200 thousand something else is given to summary jobs and the community benefits whatnot one meaningful meeting about the digesters 0 so somebody can give us the timelines and address the stench the community has been adversely

impacted our infants and children and youth and young adults bombarded with the stench as far as the incentive and some people don't care can we have this hearing with all the commissioners so he know what the hell is happening thank you very much. >> hearing none. >> next speaker, please. >> communications. >> you should have before you the communications any questions or comments on communications. >> any public comment on communications hearing none. >> next speaker, please. >> item 6 other commission business. >> commissioners and any business public comment on the business that we don't have (laughter) >> next speaker, please.

>> item 7 is report of general manager. >> good afternoon mr. kelly is in denver attending a utility kwefrnsz part of board of directors for the nationality association of the clean water and two items in the general manager an update mr. richie. >> steve richie this will be a short update here's the typical storage chart i show a couple of things the hunters point reservoir is absolutely full we're doing water from hetch

hetchy been 10 feet above full capacity so water bank is 73 percent for 4 hundred and 13 acres that guess as full as it will get from a storage this is the maximum level in storage this year that will go the main part of summer and to the fall on the precipitation font precipitation basically has leveled out maybe a freak storm here nor there but this picture will not change from october to november at this point and similarly with the snow pack that melted away we're just riding through the summer and looking forward to what next year might bring i've shown this available to the city and again, we ended up with one and 60 acres below the level

that the water that the water bank is in now we have a lot more water than the past two or three years and not enough water to fill the system the one thing that changes is if the demand picture of this chart modified a little bit the black line it is dash dot dash dot our 10 percent level to the customers to achieve the purple doted line is the 2013 demand so this black target line is 10 percent off of that purple line up there as a general demand curve our demand is crept up to two hundred and 29 million gallons a day we're delivering to the customers in the ground

water storage it operationally is into being so o going 0 san bruno and others city's in san francisco and with the popper ground water we are recovery our true demand is 200 and 25 thousand gallons it's creeping up into the summary it's a been fairly hot and not excited until about another 10 to 15 million gallons a day before there is a reason to be concerned about the level of demand and generally our customers are experiencing some rebound but not a heck of a lot. >> so want to summarize the lessons we've learned over the several years of dry water to the water management is dried-up to help us ride through this this drought is challenging due

to the fact of population growth and living with that the agricultural changes out there people going to more pardon me crops and the internet social revolution you've seen pictures of it and the state government is much more active and continuing to do that the governors last emergency declaration carried through january of next year to he's expecting it to stay engaged on the drought we're all doing more reporting that is here to stay and in the legislation water use efficiency and water rights will be hot topics as people pay attention to the things into the drought for the next for seeable future and last but not least the drought is not over as far

as you're concerned that's why we have to continue with conservatism but looking forward to next week we're not full we need to get full to poll out of the drought but every year is a dry stench i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> commissioners no questions. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> next general manager item. >> next is the cleanpowersf update by mr. haley. >> barbara hale for power we have more steady state kind of news how cleanpowersf continues to serve the customers we're at the 74 hundred active locations today our opt out percentage so 1.5 percent the last recorded anothers 3 percent opt out outing folks are still getting they're first

utility bills i think that is part of influencing factor but 1.5 percent is a low opt out rate we have a steady 3 percent are participation our green option our supergreen for wfldz renewable that is that level for the last month and we continue to serve the customers if the hetch hetchy on the active for august one last meeting we had 4 hundred and 71 preenrollments and day it increased to 4 hundred and 97 with those folks signing up for supergreen over 70 percent of the residential customers are signing up for supergreen that's exciting in order to continue with the august enforcement and services

in november we're continuing two our procurement planning efforts and the supply needed to meet that additional enrollment and coming to you on july 26th with an action item to make it clear we have authority to exceed the 50 megawatts assuming the supply is available that it meets the affordability and the phasing best practice and content practices you adopted back in december and the final message we're staffing up so i'm excited to say we've filed positions and conduct interviews and bringing on more analysts and staff to continue to increase our participation in the program and i wanted to say thank you for the support in the budget to get those positions lined up and also to say thank you to the hsr

at the puc for the expeditious progress thank you i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> questions. >> real quick on the staffing do we foresee the majority or the extent of all the risk shuns will be employees. >> we're procuring some services both for the the back functionality the transfer with pg&e that's the service we've hired out for much line marin and sonoma. >> what's that consist of that is taking the meter read data and matching it up with the rates and presenting did information to pg&e in a way they can factor into their billing system a lot of data intensive it intensive work

making sure the rates that are in the applied to the data are accurate in a form that pg&e's system will accept that's an area of expertise that notable energy has developed here in california they provide to service to direct assess customers in pg&e and california public utilities commission and other territories with the advent of community choice aggregation expanded into that area the other functionality we're procuring from them call center services we envision bringing that in house with our own customer service staff perform that function as a program grows and we get out of enrollment mode it is boom and bust and more of a steady state call

services. >> i'd like to go - so thank you barbara for years we've been talking about the jobs component. >> yep. >> so i'd like to have a little bit more opportunity to have a bite of an a lot of community folks that participated with the support of whole finish i don't know we've had a lot of discussion about the clarifications the entities performing those functions elsewhere we probably could all pretty much agree that san francisco has been maybe a little bit differently in marin with respect to organized labor. >> absolutely on that point commissioner, you know, we have the civil service staff marin didn't they operate as a transbay joint powers authority and the civic rules don't apply to their compensation packages

that being said working with the human resources director we got their organizational chart and job classification their compensation packages as we're build outing our program he know what the industry standard is full so we got that information from lancaster choice energy from sonoma and marin clean energy the other operating psa on this lancaster choice is a city department run aggregation program the only one's like us operating within the county civil service group we're doing that compatible it is - >> jason got up hopefully he'll touch on that i'm sure that's been deliberately and

thoughtfully considered. >> not necessarily now. >> sure any other questions commissioner moran. >> on the volunteery sign up if someone goes on the sign up you're the customer will that be immediately or wait until the next roll out. >> not immediately but for the next roll out we're close the enrollments on august 1st and those customers on the list of august 1st will be served november 1st under the current plan. >> so july is a month that people want to get in the next roll out this is the month to do it. >> act now cleanpowersf.org good point. >> thank you.

mr. fried jason fried, executive officer i hadn't going to speak but wringing up questions about the labor i want to remember that when we were launching this program in order to have the system we're currently using outside vendors would have taken time to build and develop have something today, we can use and get the program launched and bring in the services in house the contract allows us to bring the services in house the biggest problem the call center and the puc is not largo enough for november and needing an additional opt out center it is not big enough to actually do that i think your staff is in a - doing a good job i've been talking about with the how to

grinning this in that is important to me as i - i was a 10 to one member and the same people that work why the call center i've definitely pushed for that and you asked that question i know your staff has a good plan to slowly get there at some point in time we need to build our own system to not need outdoor vendors that it takes time we need to test it with the pentagon system as soon as we test i'll not be surprised they'll make that harder to apply to the system i think we're going about it in the right approach and another some point bring a little bit of this work more in house the staff did a good job so i encourage you

from time to time to question where it is at we're at a good spot we're getting the services we need while we're getting the program launched thank you thank you any comments on this item >> without objection i understand a member of the public has a general public comment if no objection we'll take that comment now. >> good afternoon. >> you how do you know. >> let me put my hat on. >> take your time. >> there we go. >> (laughter). i'm ann from friends of camp mather and the volunteer leader for the last week so the last week i hope to see you this is

>> 8 did sewer system improvement quarterly update. >> through the financial schedule and talk about our recent chuchlts and updates on the projects going on and wrap up with workforce development and updated or update on the stakeholder outreach we have 70 projects underway 49 of them in planning and

design and 5 in awards and 10 in communication things are moving this is phase one representation we see each quarter and currently 11.4 percent that is going to kick up as we get more into construction. >> this is our progress for the phase one again and as of the close of the last quarterly report the close is march so several treatments of the projects are into construction and d c y is the next one followed in a year and a half by another project and like to always go back to the early implementation the green infrastructure 3 in construction the reason the sunset looks funny we're doing a

design build and working with the department of public works and designing the blocks while their building the previous blocks and trying to keep that running in the area of sunset mission and valencia or less awarded and under construction over the next couple of months visitacion valley the wiggle part two and chinatown green alley will be going out and staring the reasons end of this year, the last two are yosemite and the beach some of the achievements that was a big list getting to you and getting through that march 22 meeting where we established our baseline scope schedule and budget that's the basis for the detailed scheduled now the detailed loaded schedules and those are the reports on a quarterly basis and seeing me in

august i believe when i come back for the next quarterly report a little bit less of a lag time as we issue those documents and part may be able i'll r you'll hear 2, 3, 4 from the 10 merging the agreement was extended to the ssip project for contracts over may 10th that is exciting that lays out the established fraction for the project and scheduled a - this is something that will be evolving as we egg still using that project one of the alternative analysis phase projects designed for levels of services for performance comparing the alternatives for the bottom line.

>> there's a lot of work with the ceqa progress and it will be continuing through november 2017 we have advertised the r f x an $800 million for the general contractor and gastrogoing through that selection of that contractor over the next 6 months the head works project is moving forward that construction general contractor selection has been made and awarded at the commission their 0 moving through the 35 percent and both projects are in parallel to the arts commission to talk about the approach how to approach this as incorporate the art and how we're looking this focus so we can have the best project delivered for the neighbors after we're complete and d c s a

advertised and a report was delivered to a - a few weeks ago those are projects in construction we actually have 10 projects many more now are our at the plant since this is existing and momentum things are going out and the next phase a few green projects since the flood control projects will be going out with the sewer improvements projects we're working with other agencies and in some cases the mta and the other departments and replacing a sewer line that is old as part of a project lead by another department and here i want to focus a little bit time this is something that is pretty exciting we're working to

judiciously with the economic would it be fair to say to provide real small business and job opportunity to san franciscans prairie from the southeast community and have 19 active contracts 10 are professional services and 9 are construction and the lbe the impact we've been able to have on the small businesses is even more permanent or preponderate 2/3rd's of the sew contractions have been awarded to one and 5 lbe's that is one and 64 million dollars of work this is substantial our local hiring ordinance requires a percentage of workers be resident of san francisco so through 2016 this is to range between 20 and thirty percent for the ssip we've applied this so work on 38 percent of the

projects we've berry been speeding the projects and this is equated for the combined $6 million in wages and benefits on over 60 thousand hours district 10 and 4 and 9 worked on this the san francisco percent of the hours and my colleague wake up u came up with that idea of the craft hours as of march 31st, 2016 over one and 60 though craft hours by 5 hundred workers and earned $10 million in wages this shows the distribution of where the workers are and where the residents are and primarily down from hunters point the mission, the sunset as you can see the majority of work so we're having a positive impact on the local communities one of these is that nearly 40 percent of the hours on the ssip nearly

40 percent have been worked by san franciscans and those residents have earned almost $6 million in wages and benefits the opportunity for entry-level workers to begin a criteria in the construction work and the benefits is compounded the result is nearly 4 out of 579 percent of the hours on the projecting are being worked by san franciscans apprentices this is very good i think some of the jobs get bigger that will take more and more of a list to stay ahead of this this will be challenging some of the things we're trying to establish a foot hold our stakeholder engagement a lot of work with the general contractors and standing room only event over one hundred

contractors came with an lobe certification how to get a lbe state certification some the projects will mta and those opportunities bring contractors together so there is networking we talk about our upcoming projects and get them ready and training classes how to make bids and maximize the interest that we can possibly for our contracts coming up so this is an exciting thing and again folks have led that - we're in the fist year of our student internship into the ssip there are 23 they start in high school and work with through college that is something near and dear to my heart i started as an tenor that was a lange and many of the folks that are now

leaders here i like to see people interested in being engineers sometimes they're interested in other things at least we give them the skills and closer they maybe hires in the water systems in the future and this is a picture there were not that many kids 5 kids (laughter) that was before some of the schools gotten out but hopefully, this give us a sense interests a lot going on and you're going to be seeing more projects coming to fruition and more work going forward. >> commissioner courtney. >> thank you karen honestly

were i don't know of it's something we entertain with respect to the workforce i appreciate the workpiece we appreciate that is rated towards various professions and classifications at the you utilize and with the contractors and some of the 09 genders with respect to the trade down the road anticipate a change in economic conditions and so you have a lot of folks who are in those communities not necessarily district 4 i - that's good news they can't necessarily intern into a

apprenticeship and a lot of them are not ready for apprenticeship and because we've director nolan done it puc has done it and various departments there are ways undertook the invoice of workforce to prepare folks from those communities that point to be prepared we're looking for on avenue to the clear pathway and i'd like to hear more about is like barbara was saying we're stacking i'll talk to the city we've been talking about workforce development i want to get meat on the bones what way to staff up what classifications looking to fulfill with respect to the folks that are the architect of a workforce development with the connection to our programs and what will be

our target audience and you know we're doing it on a smaller scale i believe we have age opportunity to create a pipeline of workers one real critical mentorship piece that is missing we'll dedicate that out to nonprofits and not done in a consistent way we basically fail with respect to the community folks we're trying to provide opportunity to i'm looking for more robust conversations on the next report on the workforce development pieces specifically the preapprenticeship piece and more specifically with respect to the actual construction industry work in the field. >> if i can interject this is a

classic puc issue not on the sewer system improvement project but the utility workers of the future and very eloquently articulated you know what the issue we need to create that pipeline so what i'd like to do a talk to the internal revenue who has the elements and talk about coming back and doing more comprehensive project to you if that's acceptable. >> never mind. >> i did for go a few things the team is working with city build and building in the community-based organizations with the pipeline in mind that will be great to follow the leadership juliette thank you. >> so if we could schedule that pretty sure we're in summary. >> we'll schedule that and get

back to you thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. >> and those - you've identified the challenge of keeping up with that so that kind of discussion is important. >> that's been go diligence and ownership to make that happen and to work with - to solve the problems and fill them with local residents a culture change. >> talk about the community outreach not the workforce but mr. da costa raised those in the quarterly report and dig counsel and find the answers and then some were in the presentation today

- as. >> we focused on the bio project but we are always talking about the program as a whole start with an umbrella of puc and the ssip we do a lot of small business outreach our folks were at hunters point cac and done the webinars with the with the outreach we were working with the southeast on a monthly brass that was by abrams and talking about all of our ssip projects and connecting them together when i start to tally it i think we probably had

50 to 70 meetings over the last year and a half maybe i'll if the chair and you took the words out of my mouth to provide a write-up to - it is an esteem amount when we had a metro quest public survey so if people can't attend the meeting get input and a lot of workshops that format has worked better than attending a meeting so we have a 4 hour window for the staff to explain the issues surrounding this so i'm happy to provide a comprehensive report because it

is. >> we're trying to catch dog patch and castro hill and bayview hunters point and pull in the populations of people i think staff is doing a job but happy to provide the correspondence to give you an idea and best further - >> one of the things just to ask folks to think about is this is a huge program very complicated and in the complexity 0 losses site of basic things for the comments number one there is owner that's a real simple problem to see it is a smell not a simple problem but identify that as a problem is something that anyone passing talbot neighborhood and the frustration how long it is

taken to manage you're absolutely right the program was put on hold and as a result we had to spend a lot of money to do do repairs that do mean anything to the fix those repairs give people false hope so what i'm thinking there is despite of complexity there is fairly basic concepts that need to be dealt with anyway and i just like some thought to be given you know in the future report and come back to the committee how to address those surface level concerns not the deeper dive but the stuff where we're concerned about. >> i will look at that.

>> i'm hoping we can get feedback to stay on top of the investment decisions. >> we have great results in caesar chavez and some ones are wrapping up this is where we should get more you know wet weather wet weather. >> yeah. but we'll continue to be able to get that information and caesar chavez is one i can certainly provide that up you to that was very good and baker did well. >> that would be great to start to unpack the metabolics and the opportunities to the water retention and diversion and any other benefits that we you know are hoping for in that prom we're participating in the

national ground level certification program it is getting that even training for portfolio for the maintenance workers this type of thing a national standard because it is a fairly new area of work we have an opportunity to get something that could be national standard so people can know it is a mobile skill and and then across the country. >> i heard interest in having you come before us more rent control i don't know about every month but i see you are smiling. >> smiling. >> maybe every two months it is such a big program and piece to keep track of i would suggest that is the yaerl update this is produced and takes a while to put together if you want a monthly update we can do

something along those lines. >> that would be fun and have a regular program. >> we get those clean power updates that make sense. >> i'll focus 10 minutes on making sure the communications type of thing is rotated. >> okay that would be great unless objection. >> no, i be given the nature of those procedures that is easier to deal with small fifths and not hang up quarterly. >> thank you thank you any public comments on the report. >> hearing none. >> next speaker, please. >> item 9 are considered to be routine may be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission, the public, or staff so requests removed from the consent calendar and considered as a

of sfpuc in hillsborough california. >> good afternoon, commissioners assistant real estate director we're proposing the work in the right-of-way as part of pepper water project that involves the installation of a new 12 inch pipeline to replace an existing line it connects to our value line the scope of work in the property economists of disconnecting the old line and removing it from our property once in service the new line they're constructing the 12 inch line is located within the public right-of-way the town of hillsborough planning department issued a categorical exemption from ceqa and the puc was responsible agency concurred with that determination the sfpuc proposed to issue the license with no in

accordance with the 2015 real estate guidelines approved by that commission after that item was placed on today's agenda they removed the structure with the band in place allowing for a 6 month term rather than a 5 month term and thankfully the resolution gives of these general manager the authority to reduce the term because such an amendment is in the best interest of the city and not increase the obligations and all the terms and conditions of the license remain the same any questions. >> questions. >> is there a motion to approve the tefrmz and authorize the general manager to exude the lease. >> second. >> any any public comment on this item?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

thank you so much for the hard work that you do. . >> we all know a major earthquake will eventually hit san francisco are reproerl presented san francisco is making sure we are with the public safety buildings. >> this consists of 4 consultants the police headquarters with the from 850 with a brand new fire station number 4 to serve mission bay swimming pools at office of

economic workforce development in the fire station thirty. >> is the the hall of justice on bryant the new home for 2 hundred and 50 uniform and voiven compresses we all it was opened in 19 so sociothat is a 50-year improvement as far as structure and work environment had that will be a great place to work. >> when construction began in 2011 this was with an clear goal to make sure with the big one heights the resident will will have a function police department those are the highly seismic standards it is up to operate up to 96 hours from the police department perspective that building is self-sufficient for a main made arrest in all disastrous zake ever after we will run our operational from

the city state and federal level. not only will gsa provide a physical space which we had quite a bit of, but we will also provide some expertise in certain areas. gsa is a leader in procurement and also digital services in our digital consultancy etf's house just down the hall. minute you walk by their offices. just today. we've seen a significant amount of success at the federal level addressing the german challenges and changing the way government bills and buys technology. etf and parent organization the technology to information service can bring these past successes past and failures to the conversation. so, without further ado, we are very excited to commemorate the launch of super public and were honored to have with us another special guest. from you hear from the harsh reality recognizer speakers from today's event. gsa

sought. it's not been by accident you've seen us here working with the mayor quite often. as administrative gsa, i have the pleasure of working with people are very committed to a really having a joint effort when they come to any community could gsa manages over three 75,000,000 ft.2 of space. we manage over $50 with spending occurs through the federal government and has been a straighter and you pointed out, i do have a deep deep background in city administration as well as in other capacities that i care a lot about how we are partnering with community could because when i know him and were working together both at city state and federal level, as well as with the private sector and public sector, the we are at our best and that's when we achieve our best. so when i came in as administrator i prioritize how do we use our physical footprint on knowledge, our access all resources to partner with these partners. as well as to partner with the federal agencies of

course. an idea is for us to be able to bring the best foot forward in any place were entered weaver wants to never call her economic initiative which is really about how do we take a footprint and look for opportunities with communities. i think this is a great example of that. you are aware is into pointed out of our 18 f and pts and the work they been doing in digital services and current technology in bringing together that effort to our efforts and the federal government and it's been really exciting. so when asked about what is super public meeting for gsa why are we partnering in what respect to get out of this? i spoke to see us be able to continue to partner with other communities did for me this is just the start. to start an example and a strong example of what it means for how we can really

leverage the space we are managing. this space the resources, the people be accessed. that's what is happening here. that is what were all part of today. so this is just a really exciting time for us throughout gsa not just the technology space but for all this that are here because were burning at the same time and will take these learning and share with other communities as well. so, mayor thank you again for coming here. thank you and your team for having the vision as well as city innovates. i've just been excited getting to know the work that you're doing and vision you have not just your locally but international. what a wonderful thing. so thank you for coming here and thank you for choosing this partnership and thank you for having the vision. >>[applause] >> thank you, denise. our next speaker has incredibly strong track record of driving collaborative partnerships in the first mayor in the nation to create an innovation office and city governments. please, welcome mayor ed lee. >>[applause] >> thank you into for that introduction. gsa of instead of ross, thank you for being here. this is one my favorite buildings outside of city hall.

it shouldn't surprise you that we share the same architect and it's one of the few buildings like my office that still has curbed the wars. so there's a lot of history that we share but being here in gsa again, connotes a lot of good memories. certainly, it harkens back to city administrator these two director of purchasing a less political position in the city there i had fun. i truly had fun when i was director purchasing, spending the public's money about $1 billion a year buying things but trying to do it smartly and trying to incur local jobs, small businesses, get them involved in the economy of our city. and, even as mayor, we are still making sure were trying to do the right thing as all of our governments are. this idea of super public is exciting because in a few years, you're

going to see an absolute necessity for this to happen. while it seems volunteer and innovative to do it now were actually creating the conditions the private sector, for the public sector, or academia, for those in government want to innovate, were trying to equate those conditions now so it has a lot more opportunity to be successful. as a city of innovation, i want to say that were already working not just as a city but is the region, i'm already deep conversations with mayor schaaf and mayor ricardo with our supervisors, in san mateo county about regional issues and making sure were paying attention, more than just what the part on has for the immediate future. more about our challenges and how we can really work outside of our sideload cities and counties and into arena where we can

really and truly invite the private sector to work with us. the academia sector and our innovative arms. it's no surprise that gsa is a partner because it's fast becoming the most innovative arm of the federal government i've ever seen hit their really pushing it well ahead and they're challenging us to be a great partner and we want to be. because we have a lot of things that could withhold benefits to our public if we didn't start working cooperatively. we just are thinking outside of those silos that and you mentioned that we all know is a very fact that prevents us from doing better. and i say that we started this over a year and a half ago as well thinking that to be smarter city, not just an transportation but everything else that we do but transportation is a great example to start out with because if were not thinking

more :-), not thinking more collaboratively and innovatively, beyond the cities and into a regional if not a state and federal approach, were going to fail. whether it's bikes, whether it's public transportation, whether it's getting less cars have thinking about automated vehicles and how to make them safer, how to use them how to use automation and delivery of goods and products, were going to fill it we don't innovate now and have that spirit. that's why i'm excited about joining our gsa partners and our city administrator, our members of our board of supervisors, and our innovation arm of the city working with the other innovation arms of federal government and state government. this is more than exciting. as i suggest to you super public is going to have to be a necessity because as you look around, not just united states, that's starting to happen in new york and los angeles and allow places, you look at what international cities are already doing. you don't have to look-has, by the way, happy the steel date those of you who have french

foundations. paris story got a super public that we are studying and looking at as a model. toronto, under the great international city. other international cities have already figured out that indo global competition that we are engaged in, and we must recognize that, that is those regions that recognize how collaboration and innovation is going to help their cities become that much more successful in a global competition. when not opting out of anything were opting in to a global setting and making sure we are ready to do that even better. so, i am excited as you can probably tell because i didn't, i visited the offices this year and the space that were talking about and i know into says we have not got the furniture yet. but, i will

tell you, you got the calendar ready. furniture comes after the talent arrives. i think that talent is here the dedication the commitment is here and i will tell you, i have never stopped trying to figure out how to decrease red tape. how to really convince our public who has to pay a lot of our taxes to say, your money is going into a smarter collaboration that we can be more transparent and telling them how we are cutting red tape. how small businesses can have a federal partner, a star partner, a local partner that says you're going to have a lot less red tape to be more successful. i have never stopped and effort in making sure that our city is talking with all our federal partners to it smarter and we better get how i say procurement officer as our city administrator is, to suggest that we can buy things and still have it at a less expensive price but get

payments to our local small business faster so that we can really have a foundation for good employment in the long run. how we can tackle transportation, tackle homelessness, tackle poverty in ways which we never talked about before. yes we've got good ideas in san francisco but the navigation centers, like a cherry, like car sharing. how can we make this a regional thing and academia, with its berkeley mit, stanford were all part of this effort, going to contribute to that because they know that we've got the document we got to talk the man could we do to make sure our models

are examples of things we can really share with people, and we've got to prove that we can do it better than the last generated so, excited about this. i'm excited about super public, and i know just in the few years is quick to be an absolute necessity for the global competition and we are helping our country by doing this. we are hoping much of the federal people be better quit estate people be better on local people be better, but as a community of people interested in being smarter about what were doing we hopefully will the public was a breathing that much deeper committed to using your dollars smarter to making sure we do things in language data can really drive and help us. this is what i think super public is and i want to just say, ken, thank you to organizations like the innovate fund and our innovation civic innovation leaders, i did sector comedies like at&t stepping up with berkeley folks and others to really say we can do this even better. but we've got to think regionally now. we can just think is that independent circuit either to make sure talking with sam ricardo and their interest in san jose.

-mayor schaaf people in oakland and san mateo because our challenges are no longer just within our region with its housing, dissertation, with there's even a simple idea of procuring. we've got to do it smarter and better in this consistently foundation. it's exciting to be in a room full of innovators to do this. thank you very much. >>[applause] >> thank you mayor lea. our next speaker is the event supervisor mark farrell. his work to communities which the digital divide. please, welcome supervisor farrell >> >>[applause] >> thanks everyone could post about is a tall our gsa partners, the winners always like this in san francisco. you come out for entire week. so please come out more often. i'm truly excited to be here today. from my perspective, super public is the future. it is what we need to be doing across all every single city in the united states. when we think about san francisco as much as

we have a booming economy we have issues as cities have all the time. whether it is mayor lea mentioned, the housing crisis, we have transportation issues, but they're not singled out for steve and cities across the united states are facing these issues. with the homelessness were bridging the digital divide these are issues we need to work in san francisco that matter to our residents. doing it alone in the government is something that is not going to be part of the future could need to partner with a private sector. need to partner with academia specialist visit here in san francisco today the innovation capital of the world and thank you to all our private sector partners will contribute to make this happen today. partnering with you partnering with academic, this is the

future. we need to do it together because i will tell you, we cannot do it alone and several also city hall. we certainly cannot do it set up chambers of the board of supervisors we need to do it together as partners. binders and with the federal government or state government together we can do it. we also need our private sector. we need academia to be able to do it together. so i'm incredibly excited to be part of this. take you to all the people who contributed to it. congratulations to all the founding members. i know this is a long time in the making. the most excited about, is not just today but the future. this about our children and making sure as we think about problems as my son jack sits over there, honest will, this generation when we tackle problems not just san francisco problems the regional problems and were not tackling them the city government were tapping together with private sector with academia and that the wording of the best solution yet so congratulations to everyone and thank you i just can't wait for the future here together. thank you. >>[applause]

center on mission street in san francisco talking about staying in your home after an earthquake. i have guests today, pat buscavich and his dog, harvey and david, and both structural engineers and we want to talk about things that you might do before an earthquake to your home to make it more likely that your home will be ha bitable after an earthquake, what should we do? both structural and maybe even important non-structural things. >> you hear about how to prepare an earthquake kit and brace your book shelves and water tank and that is important. what you have to be careful is make sure that you are not going the easy things to make yourself feel better. if you have a bad structure, a bad building, then you need to be looking at that and everything that you do to keep your collectables in place is small and compared. if you have taken care of your structure, then there is a lot of stuff that you can do in

your house that is non-structural and your chimney and water tank. >> let's talk about what the structural things might be. >> and he is exactly right. you don't want to make the deck chairs safe on the titanic, it is going down, you are going down, you have to make sure that your house is safe. there are basic things that you need to do including bracing the water heater, not just because of fire hazard but because of the water source and the damage, but basic things are installing anchor bolts, and adding plywood and strapping your beams to column and posts to footings and foundations are really easy things to do and most contractors can do the building department is set up to approve this work, and these are things that every home owner should do, and it is a little harder because you have to get a building permit and hire a contractor. but you want to be able to after a big earthquake to climb in bed that night and pull the covers up and say i don't have to worry about going to a government shelter. >> that is the main focus that it is great to have an

earthquake kit to be able to bug out for 72 hours. here is a better idea, stay in your own home and in order to do that you have to be make sure that your structure is okay. if you have a house, the easy things to do with the wood construction is feasible. if you have a renter or you live in a concrete building, you need to talk to the building own , and make sure they have done their due diligence and find out what the deficiencies are. >> when i have looked at damaged buildings,vy seen that a little bit of investment in time and money and structural work provides great dividends. >> especially if it is the wood frame, typical house that you can do the things that i was talking about, the anchor and the plywood in the first garage area, you know if you refinanced in the last three years, get some of that savings and it is a really good investment. and the other thing that i try to tell people, earthquake insurance is not the solution

to the shelter in place, if there is a big earthquake and your building is damaged, you are not in your house, you may be somewhere else, if you work in the city, it is going to be really hard to commute from sonoma, you want to do what is necessary so that your house is retrofitted and a couple of years of earthquake premium could get you to a level that you could be in the house after a significant earthquake and it may have damage and there is still a shelter in place where you are at home and you are not worried for the government taking care of you and you are living in a place where you can go to work and you want to have your wood frame house is really easy to get to that level. on top of the wood frame house, i mean every wood frame house in the west half of the city have a water tank and the water tank fall over because they are gas fired and start fires. and that is something that you could do for yourself, and for your neighbors and for the whole city is make sure that your water tank is braced. >> if you look at the studies that are predicting on fires, we are going to have a lot of

fires and for every water tank that is braced there is a potential of one less fire that the fire department is going to have to fight and we don't want to have any more fires than we need to. so bracing the water heater is the first thing that you want to do. >> and so easy, and you go on-line and you google, earthquake, water and heater and you google the sites where you can find the details and you can put them out there on the hardware store and you can hire a small contract tore do that for you. that is a couple of hundred bucks, the best investment. if you are in other types of building it is complicated. if you are in a high-rise building you just can't anchor your building down because there are no anchor bolts, but at that point, the tenant should be asking questions of the owner's and the managers about earthquake preparedness >> and don't take the easy answer, oh, our building is safe it was designed to code. that is not the right answer, ask the tough questions and see if you can get a report that has been given to you. >> what is the right question? will i be able to stay in my

home after the expected earthquake? is that a good question to ask? >> yeah, you may be more specific if you talk to the owner, if it is not a recent building, if it is ten or 20 years old see if they had an inspection done and there you will have a written before that will tell you all about the structure. >> thanks, pat. >> thanks, harvey. and thanks david for joining us and thank you for joining us on >> good morning, everyone and welcome to the people's palace and i'm here this morning to announce yet another milestone in our city's commitment to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by and people will work

this fourth of july weekend we are celebrating our countries birthday but recognizing in the celebration throughout the weekend people like the people had that are standing with me are working whether the restaurants or hotels or health care workers and others and and we all feel for working people that is hard in our expensive city to survive unless you have a december sent wage that's why a couple of years ago i destined or joibd the board of supervisors full board of supervisors to place before the voters an $15 an hour minimum wage and people that work in all those industries we did it together and we're celebrating because today it goes from $12.25 an

hour to $13 and up to 15 and after that cpi takes over i want to remind everybody this city was brought together with our labor unions and your working families made up of all the exit are represents our city and got this done in a strong collaboration with everyone and showed not only the cities around the bay area but the state of california if we got together and thought about people's lives what glosses the challenges every day we can get this done for them i think we're happy here to see the wages go up are rehappy yeah, we'll have more to celebrate in addition to, of course, the bitter of our nation and things we enjoy we picked this date it is a significant move and i also want to say that we know that our

workforce all those people's here they are still an affordability gap so this is going to help people he you go that suggest that a lot of people are working two jobs to support their families we want to celebrate those moms we're all ushth together to help them but for also myself and mayor libby schaaf of oakland that recognizes our workforce is more regional than ever do more than benefit the residents that work in our city and so we joined. >> today and cities that are committed along with cities like new york and seattle and los angeles and portland and the others also raised their minimum wage we want to the state of california to do the same thing because what could happen i think all the labor advocates know and people that we raised

our minimum wage just and ourselves in the city of san francisco or just in oakland we would probably be golden state talent that belongs to where everybody lives and not as affordable to them as it is to those we're helping so mayor libby schaaf and along with the united health care workers started a process and emigrate hundreds of thousands of snatches set the minimum wage higher of $15 an hour tour the state of california in uniting all the cities with the labor unions and workforces and people good minded across the region we got the governors attendance and the state of california attendance such that a few months ago governor jerry brown signed the legislation to raise the states entire minimum wage for everyone for $15 an hour

over a period of time those movements wouldn't happen unless we place the needs of working-class families that work hard to build that consensus i'm here to join in the celebration and here to say that i'm going to be working this weekend as well as in addition the celebrating but also acknowledge the people that always serve us at the hotels and restaurants and people that are working the janitorial and building maintenance and all working class in the city we're there to be of help this will be consistent raising the minimum wage to attack affordability challenges is part of solution paid parental leave is part of the solution making sure that we work so that no one is a theft of their wages that's why your head of the

department the labor enforcement is joining us with the advocates of people that earn those wages i'm saying they earn every single penny they deserve to make sure they get it in their hands that's why we announce these and make sure that everybody is prepared adequately ahead of time to make sure those wages are paid and wage theft we have to make sure that our workforce that speaks many languages don't get capture and been take advantage of this is how we really in city year ago we have a benefit and make sure that everybody obtains that benefit i want to say at that moment i'm proud of the working folks in san francisco but the intensify region and proud of state of california and your legislation for working with the governor to a raise the minimum wage that adds to the

celebration of the fourth of july and makes that more meaningful and then we hope that the entire nation does this as well question hear a lot of stories from a lot of places across the country that the liveability is under challenged or we're taking care of business in the city and state and let's go on the national level and support of the prosperous country to make sure they get a december sent wage wsip think we have paula to speak for her experience and what that means to her paula >> (clapping.) >> good morning. i want to again thank the mayor mayor ed lee for being the vera person that was instrumental in making in milestone occur and happen my name is paula i'm a home care

this facility. we thought it would coincide with our efforts to get folks to recycle, it is a great educational tool. since then, we have had 95 professional artists come through. >> how has the program changed over the years? how has the program -- what can the public has an artist engage with? >> for the most part, we worked with metal and wood, what you would expect from a program like ours. over the years, we tried to include artists and all types of mediums. conceptual artists, at installation, photographers, videographers. >> that has really expanded the program out. it is becoming so dynamic right now with your vision of interesting artists in gauging here. why would an artist when to come here? >> mainly, access to the materials. we also give them a lot of

support. when they start, it is an empty studio. they go out to the public area and -- we call it the big store. they go out shopping, take the materials that, and get to work. it is kind of like a reprieve, so they can really focus on their body of work. >> when you are talking about recology, do you have the only sculpture garden at the top? >> it is based on work that was done many years ago in new york. it is the only kind of structured, artist program. weit is beautiful. a lot of the plants you see were pulled out of the garbage, and we use our compost to transplant them. the pathway is lined with rubble from the earthquake from the freeways we tour about 5000

there is a piece of sheet music up there that i have embroidered third. there is a pamphlet about hearing dea -- nearing death. this is a dead rabbit. this is what i am working on now. this is a greeting card that i found, making it embroidered. it is for a very special friend. >> while we were looking at this, i glanced down and this is amazing, and it is on top of a book, it is ridiculous and amazing. >> i am interested in the serendipity of these still life compositions. when he got to the garbage and to see the arrangement of objects that is completely spontaneous. it is probably one of the least thought of compositions. people are getting rid of this stuff. it holds no real value to them, because they're disposing of it.

pieces you have made while you have been here. >> the first thing that attracted me to this was the printed surface. it was actually a poster. it was a silk screen watercolor, about 8 feet long. in terms of the flatwork, i work with a lot of cloddish. so being able to cut into it come at into it, removed parts, it is part of the process of negotiating the final form. >> how do you jump from the two dimensional work that you create to the three-dimensional? maybe going back from the 3f to 2d. >> everything is in the process of becoming. things are never said or settled. the sculptures are being made while i am doing the collages, and vice versa. it becomes a part of something else. there's always this figuring out of where things belong or where they could parapets something

else. at the end goal is to possibly see one of these collage plans be built out and create a structure that reflects back into the flat work. >> thank you so much for allowing "culturewire" to visit this amazing facility and to learn more about the artists in residence program. is there anything you like our viewers to know? >> we have art exhibitions every four months, and a win by the public to come out. everybody is welcome to come out. we have food. sometimes we have gains and bands. it is great time. from june to september, we accept applications from bay area artists. we encouraged artists from all mediums to apply. we want as many artists from the bay area out here so they can have the same experience. >> how many artists to do your host here? >> 6 artist a year, and we receive about 108 applications. very competitive. >> but everyone should be
