within 30 days, review, and further order to abait, upon the further order to abait, it is referred to as accelerated code enforcement and it is, it is and we file it, with our i forget which department it is right now, one of the departments at city hall, we file it, and we file the notice to abait. i apologize for not being in my notes. >> okay. >> we rapid code enforcement earlier, and just by, reflects that flowchart. and ak celebrated code enforcement. and it receives files and from two different directions, one is through the task force and through the other departments and the city attorney's office. and again, we work as a group to abait, and mainly these are issues with hording and that is the most common with that. and the other avenue on the left

side of the flowchart would be a referral from the administrative hearing process. and again, the accelerated code officer which is our captain that oversees this new fire complaint section, will manage that file and work with the city attorney through its conclusion. >> okay. staffing, we will move on to staffing we have created a new fire complaint section. and which is dedicated for the fire complaints and it will consolidate, all incoming complaints and that is the formal model where the complaints were taken in and managed and addressed on a district by district basis. and now it all consolidated under one section, and this team will also be tasked with improving communications with the field and the field teams and suppression, and so, again, the lieutenant that directly manages this crew will be our liaison with the field and it

will be our point of contact, and we will attend the meetings and etc., and be, and to increase our communication with the field. indicating the complaint section is managed by a captain who will serve as the code enforcement officer and this was the section that will include, one lieutenant and six fire inspectors and the teams will be dedicated and responding to all fire complaints. and in addition the lieutenant will be the training coordinator for the r1, r2, training company program and will serve as the liaison, between the bft and the companies. and this is our chart for our division of fire prevention and investigation. you will see outlined there in the dark blue is our new section, this section did not previously exist. and at the time top is initiated position that is not filled yet. and we have a lieutenant in place right now, below that and

we have two inspectors and then we have four vacancies below that and the chief has just announced the acting positions yesterday and we are trying to fill these positions immediately moving forward. >> ( that is our approach here to address the concerns of the civil grand jury. we have external education, and so the sfsd fire prevention has developed a plan for the pro-active community out reach, it will consist of two members, a fire inspector and a fire investigator who will be 100 percent focused on the fire safety education, and covering all neighborhoods. the team at the end of the direction of the captain of administration will develop, present and fire safety presentations to the neighborhood communities throughout the city and county

of san francisco. the fire investigator will gather data and track the fires on the neighborhood by neighborhood basis, the fire investigator will compare for the data from each neighborhood as well as measure said data against the national statistics and the fire inspector, and closer with the fire investigator will identify the challenges specific to each neighborhood. and the team will then develop and deliver the fire safety presentations tailored for each thard this is a new concept and we have had the community out reach in the positions in the past but it never include a fire investigator.

you would have to look at any complaint in there and see what the date was and figure out what violation, is linked to what complaint, and also in the past, you open ul multiple without closing out the previous inspection and so it could be mislead and so you could have the numerous complaints on there that are associated with one complaint but it could look like two or three and so we are cleaning that up and we are linking all of them, so now you can it is not completed yet and this is our goal and you can go into the fire complaint and you can hit an id and a tracking number on the complaint and it should be able to pull a thread up and it should be able to show you the whole life cycle of that complaint but nov all the way through the city attorney's office. i think that will go a long way to clean up our again, our

transparency, and sharing information to the public. that conclude my report and i am happy to take any questions. >> yeah, thank you very much fire marshall. are there any members of the public that have a comment? >> on the fire marshall's presentation? seeing none public comment is closed and i will go to vice president cleaveland. >> thank you, and thank you for this good report, i can't tell you i was upset as well, that you needed and you know the chief were interviewing for the grant jury people when they were putting this report together. and but i am delighted to hear that you are taking a lot of the recommendations quite seriously and making some reforms within the department, so that i commend you for that. and i commend the chief, and the department for embracing this, and the grand jury's report, and

taking the best out of it. the best recommendations and putting them into place and putting them and making it much more transparent to the public. and tracking you know, incidents of fires and more efficiently and particularly the inspections and so for the public, information can you define what an r2 is. >> it is three or four units and the occupants are there for 30 days. if you are fewer than 30 days you are reviewed as an r1, which is more like a motel or a hotel. >> there is a priority, and could you define that for the public's understanding?

>> if there was an impairment that was required at the time that it was built and it would be, an example of that would be any fire suppression, system and the fire alarm system or the egressystem, if any of those are impaired, the level is considered high, and we consider that a priority complaint. and a standard complaint would be if you are out dated on your maintenance and so your portable fire extinguisherer, and however, we have no, you know, no reason to believe that they still function as installed, etc., and it is just a maintenance and they say, a new issue more or less, and not necessarily an impairment to a system and that will fall under a standard complaint. >> like if the sign is not working. >> correct. >> it is part of the manual that we are developing for the internal training and we are going to list all of the violations that we have and we will have two callings, one will

be priet orty and the standard and so we know and we are on the same page where the priorities and the standards and we can share that with the public and internally with our people. >> i think that is excellent, because i think that there is going to be some training down in internally as well as educate s the public as well as the public owners on what is considered a standard violation and they have ten days to fix it and you know whashgs is a priority, they have to do it, with 72 hours. >> and so, this is really good stuff. >> and we post the violations on site on the property, and how do you decide where you are going to post that sign? >> everybody has to pass by the notice, and that notice will have a detail on what the violation, and what the citation is for and contact the information. >> if that sign is taken down, is that a violation?

>> it is a violation, if it is removed, yes. >> i appreciate you setting up a new section. if they were investigated and we need to he had kalt the public so that they understand that most of the fires and the vast majority of the fires were

accident. >> yeah, and and in the past our complaints were distributed to the individual inspectors and we are changing that process and all complaints were coming in to be addressed to the lieutenant and overseeing in the fire complaint section and he or she will distribute them. and so you will have one officer that tracks all of them and we will have up to date status on them >> i think that it is also going to be an important thing to balance the load from the fire houses who are responsible for inspecting the buildings within their what is it? >> their first response area. >> is it and what does that mean? >> the first response area? >> so there are defined boundaries for each. i think that it differs. >> and the deputy could speak the greater detail of that. >> and the general terms, and vice president, cleaveland, the first response is where you do the first alarm area and for the

full box and for the three agent and trucks and, and the chief and two chiefs in the division and the first in the areas is where that individual company is first do. for like a single unit and the dispatch. and that is the first in as opposed to the first do. >> but the response is generally, what was in ten blocks in around the fire house. and i just am trying to understand that a layperson what that means when you say a fire response area. per fire house. >> it varys on the fire station and, it depends on how condensed the fire is, and where it is, and a lot of the stations are closer, then they would. >> sure in the high-rise areas, in the avenues and that will be much more sparse. >> right. >> right. >> is that, is that information available to the public. >> it will be on the map that i show, or in the presentation coming up. i think that the public will be

interesting no know the fire stations and how much of the city is that fire station responsible for. >> and it is on all of the web sites. >> it is on the website. >> excellent, excellent. >> all right, that is all of my comments. and thank you very much. thank you, madam president, and thank you very much chief. i really applaud you on this presentation and this report. and it is not only good, it is very, very comprehensive and it is a great report and when i got the first draft and i tried to read it and go through it, with

all of the discussions of agreed, and not agreed, and recommendations and too. and i am very, very, appreciative of how condensed and professional you put it within this presentation. and shared it with the audience. everything from page 5 in terms of the graphs. and in page 5 or six, and the fire complaint process. and page eight, and all of these have graphs, and each one of these graphs allow myself a real ability to follow through. and to see exactly what we are talking about. one of the main reasons why i appreciate this report so much is that it answers the questions to the recommendation and to the concerns of the grand jury. you did not skate anything in this report. i would like it but i am also

proud of it. but that you didn't but you did address all of the issues. page 11 as well with the new fire complaint section in the support of that chief and i must again, remark how much appreciation from myself as a commissioner and the u.s. administrator in terms of the support that you give to these kinds of issues as well. and the fire safety and education. page 12. and operational improvements, and page 13, and in your presentation, also, what i liked was picking up the key words, and you used the words new mind set. and that we had a new mind set. and we are trying to make adjustments and here or two what is going on and the other word that i heard quite frequently was the word linkage. and again, this is the kind of thing that as a commissioner, i would like to hear, because i know that our department is very

comprehensive and that our members can do the job. and by hearing your presentation and taking on that analysis of how you dealt with these, we can make some suggestions about you indeed if we don't have a new mind set or a new way to do things, it is not going to improve. again, i very much appreciate this report thank you very much. and thank you, madam president. >> and thank you, commissioner. and commissioner, hardeman? >> thank you. madam chair. and you could get tired of being on patted on the bad together, in the fire marshall. >> i am overwhelmed with the work that you have done, and the chief and this is a lot to put together, and we like, your

commission and he said that you are just, and it is just the hardest part in trying to cover up everything. and so it is remarkable work. and the grand jury gets the deadline and the very busy time for the department, and thank you, for doing it and the staff to hope that you are not too warn out and the flow charts and easy to read, and thank you. and hopefully, the grand joo you ary jury will be happy with all of your answers and your response. >> thank you, ditto.

i think that your willingness and your ability to incorporate their concerns and address them so well. is very, very good. so, thank you fire marshall. >> thank you. >> item 7, up date on the discussions regarding the establishment of the h24 classification. commissioners and chief, and deputy chief, and operations. under the 23 presentation, and promptly, and the sfs, and this is a concept in the conceptual stage at this point, and in the h23, ems concept, there is no first level manager in the ems division in the san francisco fire department compared to the other divisions and the

suppression and that is the age. >> can we go to the computer please? >> there you go. >> help you? >> yeah. >> and it is the h23, that works out in the field with the fire stations and the h22, prevention that works with bfp, and works at bfi, and the bureau of the fire investigation and h28. and which works out to be the training. and so currently the first level of the manager is the age, 33 rescue captain. and it is concerned that we must put that as the first level manager. and another wheel driving force behind this is the h1 level and station 49 and has no promotional pathway they only have lateral moves that are available to them and selected to the h2, fire academy and bump to the three, but they have to get a paramedic license, and all of the other ranks are afforded the possibility of the promotion

and if this is true, many of the dedicated members of the department will be afforded the first level manager position and if it comes to fruition. the ems lieutenant will serve, and these are possible, and it is still in the building phase. as an administrative supervisor and in charge of informing them to know their personnel and organizize and super vice the employment of the ems response fleet. >> other possible duties, perform the personnel, management functions including performance monitoring and the ems and provide the administrative report for the field personnel, for the station 49, and also, prepare and conduct, the service and the ems

service training and related to the orientation for the employees and the new and updated for the procedures and standards and says said, the status as of today, we are currently discussing the job classification with the city, and the local 798 for the city's attorney's office. and that concludes that presentation available to questions. >> thank you. chief gonzales. is there any public comment? >> regarding the proposed h23? okay, public comment is closed. commissioner hardeman? >> i didn't even know that i was on there i beat myself to it. >> okay. >> thank you, and madam chair. so, how close with the chief, how close are you with to

striking a deal? is it looking more promising, than it was in the last time that you reported with trying to get all parties to agree on it. >> i hate to put a forecast up there, because sometimes you jinx the process. and so, i would say talks are amicable and i think that is where we are headed. at this point. >> and good to hear. thank you. >> thank you. >> and the chief of the department, would like to say something. >> i just wanted to add, i think that i would have definitely agree with your statement and i also, i believe that the department of the attitude to the president covington and the vice president cleaveland because it is a complex model. and as we move forward, and it is it has been helpful to have both of you at the table to understand and give your input into the discussion and so i am not sure if the commissioner and the commissioner were aware that i know just in this or sense the

last meeting that we met, i think on settlement 1st and the 7th and your participation is not only appreciated but it is making a difference. >> thank you, chief. >> the vice president cleaveland? >> >> thank you, chief, and chief, for working on this. and i think that it is so important that we have a ladder of advancement for everybody who works and serves in the san francisco fire department, including our emts and so this is new. this is going to be a completely new model for advancement of emts who are not paramedics and who are not firefighters. and so i am delighted and very much support the h23, position, how many do we expect to create about five is what i understand? ; is that correct? ? or do we not know at this time? >> that is still a work in

progress, p we do anticipate at least two or three. >> if i had it right now, but, the numbers will be determined on the as-needed basis. >> i am delighted to hear that all of the parties are working together with the da and to create this sort of job description if you will. and i think that everybody who works for the fire department absolutely should have a ladder or have the opportunities to advance and not necessarily having to be a firefighter. and so this administrative supervisory position is a wonderful addition if you will to the department and particularly for the emts and their future. and so, i applaud you on working on this, and i applaud the chief and i applaud the local, 7, 98 and all of the other parties that are working on this to make it happen. and so. >> and thank you, vice president. >> and we would like to echo what the chief said, thank you, president and vice president for all of your help.

>> thank you. commissioner nakajo >> thank you. just a point of clarity, we are talking about a conceptual concept officer, ems so just for my clarity, administrative level of ems is chief meyers and the achift ant chief is that what it is? and after that, is it the rescue captains? and going to the next jump and we are talking about the lieutenant and the ems and being between or before the rescue captains and structure. >> and so the ems division, rests under the administrations, and ems, assistant deputy chief and you have the section chiefs. and as you mentioned, it is, an acting section chief operational. and he is overseeing station 49. and there are rescue captains that report to that that rank and the entry level, one and two, and they all report to the

age, 33 captains at this time and we are trying to put in the lieutenant. and like all of the other divisions in the sffd. >> all right so that the members who are participating in the station 49, would if we have this, h23, they would report to the h23 as the supervisor rather than the rescue captain? >> it work similar to the fire station and others work differently where the inspectors per se in . and it will be working the same as the suppression and in the suppression, and. >> and depending on the situation given? >> the lieutenant will open to the captain when it comes to making decisions. >> okay, just the administrative

ems h23, some of these job duties are the administrative management type of duties. is that to help the section chief with some of that administration at 49? >> absolutely. and it was purely administrative at this point the way that it is being built. >> okay. again i support all of the comments by the commission to administration to get this done and if we can get this in some movement, that would address the question of stronger oversight and supervision to the ems core which is where the intechniqueses of what we started out to be. ; is that correct? chief? >> absolutely. >> thank you very much, madam president and chief. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. and at this time, well, certainly thank you very much deputy chief and the chief of the department and members of

station 49. and of course, 798 for coming together and hammering out this collaborative effort. and so, thank you chief, i am going to excuse you at this time because we have guests for the next item and thank you. and our commissioner commission meeting has to end at noontime definite and so we want to make sure that we go over item 9. so i will continue item eight, and madam secretary, could you please call item 9? >> item nine, up date on station 49/ems new building.

development and progress. >> thank you. >> welcome chief lumbardi. >> thank you, president covington. >> at this time i would like to call up we have a project team from department of public works that is working with us very closely now. and so they could come up here i will have them introduce themself and start with the presentation. >> thank you. >> gentleman? and lady? aplea aplease come forward. >> hello, i am the project manager for the department of public works and we are happy to start this at a rapid pace and start the design process. i am tim, and i am a senior architect with public works. >> my name is reggie and i am the architect from the public works and building and design construction.

>> good morning, commissioners i'm kathleen and i am one of the project managers working on this project. >> thank you all. >> i would like to thank them all for coming. the reason that i invited them here today is to show the commission how serious the department of public works is, in getting this project finished quickly and properly and working together with us, it is great and as anyone knows the bond passed in june and however what a lot of people don't know, is the funding does not take place until november or possibly january, and so with the smart thinking of our director, director, plan and finance, we put in for this year's budget to have enough money to continue so it would not slow down and so it pass and we have money to get to january when we start to collect the funds and move forward. >> and so we have a great team assembled and our internal people and it is moving forward

rapidly. so, i have a slide show for you and, then there is obviously, with this team here, they can answer any questions that you would like. >> those are the computer? >> okay. thank you. >> so for lack of better words, this is what it was worded on the ballot of the ambulance deployment facility and i would anticipate that it is station, 49 when it is done and built to keep it clear what the project is. it is the ambulance deployment facility. >> it shows that we are current existing facilities at 14, 15, evans the new proposed facility over all, and the street and station nine, and we chose this facility and because we think that it is a better location in between, highway 101, and highway 101, and 280, right off of the street and you can really go, and get to noo he where in the city rapidly from this location. existing project and you have

seen this slide before. and it is behind the station nine and the city also owns a strip of land which is in yellow, between mccennin avenue and the gar ald avenue and that is the entrance from the property site there is currently three existing buildings on the site. two of the buildings in the lower half of the page will be demolished as part of property ject and the third building at the top right of the page will stay in the new parking structure will go up and into that building separating fire station nine from the new ems facility. >> when we had to get this ready for the bond, we had to do an environmental impact report and part of that process was to put together a program of how big do we need this building to be. and how many employees do we have and so it was quite a few people working on it from the fire department. and we came up with this

program, and that is how the next few slides, and it is probably a ten-page document and i just put in a few in there and one has to do with the personnel and one has to do with how many vehicles and obviously, when you are designing a building and okay, you know the chief needs an office and how big does that office need to be, and how much square footage and the department of public works worked with us, well before the bond to get this done and get an environmental impact report done before the bond was even on the ballot. >> the slide number, or, seven, is what we came up with, after doing that whole study, and program, is that the subtotal of the building is about 37,000 square feet, and the subtotal is about 60,000 and the whole area is about 96,000 square feet and so that is how we came up with this and so now we are in the process of design and we are

taking this document that we were find a few years ago before the bond obviously and now we are refining it more and just the other day we are sitting there with the chief, and chief meyers and you know, on this initial one that we had and they had a 120, employees, and well that is jumped back by 50 or 70 people already, and so we are trying to make a building that will last for the next 30 years and so it is projected out to 20, 30, and we are anticipating building something that will handle the vehicles and handle the staff and the employees for that many, for that many years to come. >> so in our rough design, before the bond, these next few pages show the layout, and it was a good design, and we are staying with that, about you now that we are really getting down into the nuts and bolts, we are saying, you know, just this office needs to be next to that office? does it flow? are all of the classrooms together? are the teaches by the

classrooms, are the locker rooms where the people are going to come from the parking although the into the building? why are the locker rooms not close when they come in the building when they need to get washed off and so stuch like that and we are snot reallevan changing the size but changing the layout and making sure that is functions well sxl in doing that we will be reaching out to the other employees from the station 49, from the logistics and i have asked this week, the commissioner cleaveland to also help us in just so that we vet this through the different ranks before we go into the construction design of the property. i think that our last slide is what the people are eager to see. and this is what we have on the duration right now. and i know when i first showed this slide, a few months ago, it was well into 2021, and thanks to commissioner cleaveland he had a meeting with the director of public works and the schedule has been adjusted and as you can

see with the team here, it is a top priority for public works. and so with that, open for any questions, or any questions of the public works team that you guys might have. >> thank you chief lombardi. >> is there any public comment on this item? >> the new station 49? also known as the ambulance deployment facility. >> and seeing none, public comment is now closed. >> commissioner cleaveland. >> thank you. >> thank you fshgs madam president and thank you, chief for the report. and this is a very significant project obviously we want to thank the voters of san francisco for approving the bond. and so that we can build a new ems response headquarters. and so that is very, very important. i also like to design and i would appreciate the fact that you are working with the people that are going to be working in

the facility, and to make sure that you accommodate their concerns, and i know that in the past we have had the issues on the design and whether their compatible with the people that are working in the facility, and they very much appreciate the fact that you are reaching out and make shurg that that happens, and i appreciate the dpw personnel and ramping this up and as a priority project and it is the priority project for the citizens of the city and so thank you for making or put tg at the top of the to-do list. at the public works. >> so, we will keep an eye on this and i can't tell you how delighted i am, chief, that we have the funds that the citizens and the voters of our city voted this bond and we will get a new station, 4 #, and that will be state of the art and it will allow us to grow as a city, and meet those needs for the next decade, to a couple of decades actually, thank you. >> thank you, mr. vice

president. and commissioner. >> thank you very much, madam president, chief, if you could perhaps the team could be near you, and so that i could ask a few questions. first of all, i just wanted to thank you so much, yes, please? >> for your hard work. but also in terms of your concentration in your intentions to get this done. just as a point of information, i have been a commissioner for 21 years, and part of this is i was a commissioner when the merger occurred. and it was a growing experience that we at the fire department enher it the medical emergency services we have gone through a lot of growing pains and we have grown, and we have changed our culture, within it to a medical model as well. and we are finally a department that is whole. i don't know if you have done the ride alongs with the

individuals for denying it, but if you sit in that buggy, for ten to 12 hours, and you want to eat something, or you want to go through the rest room, you are going to find that kind of a circumstance that effect these individuals, as well as what corners they sit on. and so every model that we have, that started from having the ems and in the station houses out to the rapid deployment on the street e it is a hard workplace to sit in your rig out there, trying to respond and those member, the men and women do the best job that they can, i want to acknowledge the vice president of this commission, cleaveland, commissioner cleaveland has not been on the commission too long but he has been effective and has moved this agenda, with the lightning speed. and the seriousness of his efforts is what we have today, and you know, we are so proud to be part of this with the chief and the rest of our commissioners and because this really, really finally, depicts a home for our ems medical staff

i just really appreciate it, and i question that i have, is two buildings are going to go down in the building on the right near the parking lot, and standing up what is the reason for that? >> for the two existing buildings, are the light construction. >> please identify yourself for the public? >> tim, the department of public works. >> two existing structures are light construction and they were there since i think when the fire station 9 was built, and it is basically housing some utilities for the alternative water source and the water trailers and things like that. and there is also fleets and units and within the building are work functions. and all of which will be removed. and not necessary for the new program. >> so commissioner, those buildings were for originally when we had droel control of the

awsh, we had the plumbers under the fire department that is where they were based out of it, and now that puc runs it and they are no longer based out of this, the building is not a fightal function for anything that we do right now. i appreciate that as well as being able to identify this piece of land as well. and these graphics and the mockup $really help us as well. and it is interesting that after all of these years when we talk about the designs v the houses and the functionality, that the issue of functionality comes in play, and again, during the experience, we have had a situation where the station one was torn down, and moved by the museum on the hill built by our abilities in terms of what our needs were and also a couple of other stations are on the project as well.

so to hear the term functionality, and how well does it work, for us to walk through all of the areas and see what works is really is gratifying in our standard to be able to have everything that we can in termdz of making it the best building that we can. for a long period of time. and i just personally again wanted to thank you for all of your concentration and your intention and i am just looking forward to this working of this project, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> commissioner hardeman? >> thank you madam chair, and chief, as usual you are very talented man and you do a very great job. this is a great report. and i am glad that you are keeping an open mind on design and no one is objecting with the person alibi as that might not be warranted that you are willing to move along, just like commissioner cleaveland says that i think that is very important.

>> especially after, seeing the condition of the present facility. i don't know what the vote would have been if the members of the public could have took a tour or a ride along, or whatever, with the workers, of the 49, but i think that they probably would have been flabergasted about how we ended up like that, and what we ended up how we ended up like that, and it is all economic and so they took them and the voters took them into their own hands and believe that the city leaders, and the fire department, and that this is really necessary, so it was, it was long overdue and thank you. >> commissioner, cleaveland, thank you for getting involved and talking with the public works and to everybody stepping forward and taking this and put thanksgiving top priority from dpw and thank you for taking the time to personally appear, and all of the most important people on this project and i think that this is going to be gra it for san francisco. and i think that it will be

great for the moral of the people reporting these state. and 49, and they will get the respect and they have such a terrible, difficult job and if you go out and run with them and you see them and you have to bring them back to life who is dead or something who does not want to even be alive. and they are trying to they don't care about their own life. and all of the emt and the paramedics and the firefighters go out there and do the typical san francisco attitude is, everybody is taken care of. and we really appreciate it looks like a great facility and, thank you to the mayor, and all of the politicians and everybody who supported this project, and thank you for the explanation in the finances again, and how good you have done with that chief, and chief, during this, and thank you for moving it along. >> great. >> thank you, commissioner hardeman. and thank you to the entire

released as we look at the plymouth area results of the seawall one ability studying aggressive enough to extend an invitation to come back and i'm very happy to be here today to talk about this effort because as steve mentioned in a very nice introduction, this was a planned it was really about alignment more than about anything of it was a lot of great work happening in the city a lot of different departments a lot of different committees were involved in the problem was was happening in so many different silos we really had to try to bring it together to focus on a couple different issues. i think when we talk about resiliency in san francisco resilient story query starts in 1989 with the earthquake. i think national uca resilience that narrative-we sowed the 12th run extreme floods sea level rise could all important parts of resilience but i think it's important to couch our lives a lands in san francisco through a seismic event. the building inspection intimacy work for a number of years of project they call the community action plan seismic safety or caps which is unique about this the ground up approach to earthquake safety we work with over 100 community mems over 10 years to develop a plan to ultimately address the

privately owned property of san francisco and responsible way. starting with our soft story buildings which we currently oversee right now. there's over 5000 buildings on the soft story retrofit program retrofitted by 2020. to give you an idea the summers about 50% of our total population that currently live in dangers buildings within the building retrofitted this program in a number of you could adjust a very small like a large apple. the earthquake safety with israel looks over 50 tests which were working on now for new legislation which range from retrofitting some of our older hazardous buildings developing new buildings and standards to new buildings to get a higher level safety out of that. to that process, with the earthquake safety limitation organisms integrate the rockefeller foundation for 100 visiting city junket the hundred cities globally around the world overall tacit looking at developing resilience that she protested. in san francisco were also joined with other colleagues until 40 from oakland from berkeley and from los angeles but they go as far

as bangkok durbin and other cities around the world. we are really having this interesting mix of colleagues were able to work with and would realize our charges are all very similar and we put some deafening locally but alternately we put ours together our strategy which is the picture you see in front of you released in april, and it's a citywide strategy that we need to look at resilience. resilience is such a buzzword these and in need so many different things to so many different people. first, we had to help organize the divine that hazards were looking. the strategy look at six specific hazards. i apologize for the quality. this is actually literally a screenshot from the-we haven't developed a formal presentation yet but we always the look of the paramount issue of earthquakes that san francisco pasted we also looked at climate change sea level rise aging infrastructure social and equity and in affordability. we spent two years talk to the community and other city leaders these were the six issues we have seen come up. in every conversation so we knew we had to address them. by

addressing those which come up with larger goals. this movie came with the alignment started today place with a secured we have a lot of different efforts and it's hard to measure a particular department goals in terms of a larger city resilience goal. we had to develop a framework under these four goals was able to briefly. plan and prepare for to market this really focuses on a lot of the city's planning efforts on earthquake preparedness on sea level rise and really doing the planning out so the event when it does happen or when we have to do with these issues later down the line were better prepared. goal two is to retrofit mitigate and adapt. this is all the work when ashley begins. when we start making our buildings safer. we start caring for climate change and the impacts the world is going to secured goal three it's winter house event and after disaster. it's no surprise to anybody were to middle the worst housing crisis cities ever seen. the zone earthquake on top of that it's going to compound all these

effects drafted yet we looked on housing production and also things to address almost population and how we can stable up skill these after disaster when we found possibly hundreds of thousands san franciscans without a home. also the manpower neighborhoods to improve connections. this was where we really do with the social resilience issue in san francisco. we talked about connections, we are actually talking about people trying to connect to the government get a lot of community members act bottom axis in san francisco government and equally so san francisco government of our time accessing and getting through to the community on many outreach efforts. so that's front and those bonds but also top of that neighbors to each other. that something we found as we talk to different committees around the city the areas where people knew each other where they knew their neighbors. that there's something there that you have to pay attention to. because those are the years that networks with a commune on each other and support each other through these times of stress. specifically some initiatives highlight a lot of the port work and why think that's important we take things like the earthquake longer ability happening at the northern seawall and tie to a citywide list. through the plan is

different areas where we call out a little icon here says integration next to it. that's a good plan to talk to itself through various initiatives when you read this section not just talk about the vulnerability study but the port is doing. talk what other efforts were looking at the sea level rise could not just safety. other efforts around design competitions. obviously, the most recent announcement with the budget of the new windows going to further study with [inaudible]. some of the other port issues at regional waterfront design competition did i know we've heard for my colleagues about this resilient by design competition for the bay area. that's actually involving quite nice. is been executive director for this regional competition to a looking to launch it running in general. very exciting to see that getting regional momentum. one of the other things the mayor talks with early on we use his pasta lovers this was around the sea level rise action plan that the mayor released in march. as with opportunity for us to work with a comedy called our nested approach me about $500,000 with a pro bono work for us under

the terms of this grant we did is develop cost to seybold sea level rise good we can say with comments is a will or $77 billion public-private assets exposed and we do nothing about sea level rise. that's the first fundamental that would planning these big citywide palms we have to understand the impacts and work ourselves backwards and try to understand how we mitigate against those impacts. the sea level rise action plan again event presentation on very familiar with it is very exciting to see funny be dedicated to the snow sapping dedicate to this now planning department is doing amazing job worked with port staff to take the lead on that. i mention what about the bay area. resilient by design competition again berkeley barb offer what we saw after hurricane cindy in new york was was you go by design to another community effort look at rebuilding infrastructure better. we know we don't have to rebuild the same wall in the same place. these opportunities we see disasters actually we think what our community really needs when we look at

waterfront structures or other issues in the community. so i do realize that through in about 10 min. throughout your plan we spent 2.5 years developing kids happy to answer any questions for the commission at this time. thank you. >> is there any public comment on 11 a? seeing none,, public comment is closed. commissioner katz >> thank you veritas. that was an impressive presentation could definitely a lot of information a short time. very excited to hear about all the efforts going on in the focus and i think one thing i'm particularly breast with was doing down into some key areas and making sure those are emphasized. the one issue i sort of heart on every time when i appreciate the funding for the studies, but could you talk a little bit about funding for what the studies then show and how we are going to stand for obtaining the funding? i imagine given the studies themselves are not inexpensive so i can imagine the cost of

doing the recommended work is going to be stratospheric. i know were good competing with other communities as well for some of the federal funding. have we started that process of lining up requests? >> absolutely could all draw another parallel similar to this we started looking at looking at soft story building. here the big thing missing from there was no one knew how to find it. as soon as we approach in creative financing program which is been successful in this case, all the sudden the

study be done around the seismic issues was really the backing we needed and these all practical things that come in front of it to be able to find it up so you get these efforts going. in terms of the seawall, i see this being the exact same thing. i think the port is an amazing job of dedicated resources that we see other city department sharing resources to look at this vulnerability it's a great way to do the planning and think you're exactly right. that's all were doing is the planning at this point. that's right get excited about this idea of the design competition. his only daughter can my hopes and dreams other design competition but one of the practice and there is a cancer to be asked to develop financing mechanisms for this. i do not think this is a one-size-fits-all. i don't think is that she'll ponder something like that and then it started getting to be a variety of sources get i think was the local state and federal come together i also think the idea of talk about our waterfront is a regional asset is not just the san francisco acid gives to get a hold reason think about how the jobs report provides your book public and private transportation and everything out that's factor at a port that's what i think you start to see funding get loose. i think of to make that case that he would been getting it to the right people run the table. i'm hoping this advance planning process is the linchpin we need to remove here. >> great. piggybacking off of that using this as a model, i'm not sure or are we ahead of other communities that are

having to face these issues and can that be also a sort of role we played.? i also often used to joke san francisco is the rand corporation of public posted it starts here first. is it something we might be able to export? b was absolutely gotten our expense with a design competition today. while it was sort of bait in san francisco, i would say we devoted we could see money towards it, was never intended to be a san francisco competition to see it starting to take life into a regional role, that's the transition that gives us a lot of hope and a lot of faith. >> i certainly think from the port perspective and looking at how we share certain resources and a lot of differences in terms of the focus of our two people but san francisco and open are the life blood to the region. for bringing goods in and we saw what happened when there was that slowdown last year. what impact that had get we want to make sure we keep the goal region moving solidly as the need to so, thank you >> commissioner brandon

>> thank you so much for a wonderful presentation did you become a*lot over the last two years and it's great to see the collaboration between the agencies, the dedicated staff and the funding going towards this part. so we all know that it's serious and something we really have to focus on. so, thank you very much. he was thank you very much commissioner brandon >> patrick, thanks for coming back. it's funny, san francisco as a city has a lot of successes. but then there's problems, too. these are some of the problems you're laying out and it seems like today were getting less money from federal and state funding. i think it's going to take more really hard decisions. taking this thing head-on when we talk about sea level rise from earthquakes some people say, well, it's going to happen. it's just, when should be

proactive in getting out front and these are the tough difficult question is i think we have to ask ourselves and you guys meet in committee and talking about it. i think we might even need more private somebody's companies to help with the money because the state and federal we just seems were not getting the money as much as we might need for this. we are talking also about the quality of life. which, i think just like we talk about the homeless problem. the social ills and things that we have to deal with that we can't run from but what i was good to ask you, going forward, what do you see as we look at it as a regional and him and laster are right about especially oakland and stephen been the hub, how do we move forward to get to where we need to get to do you thinks. >> that's a very tough question but i think the sets were taken our getting us there. i don't think this is something were you wave a magic wand and all of a sudden the waters are calm and we can get this from. what i also see is that one of the things that are

developing as described 12 community support for these issue. because were seen ourselves and were seen multiple hazards identified themselves in something like the waterfront. so where you had oh so were concerned about sea level rise on one side and maybe folks concerned about earthquakes on one side and folks concerned about public open space, those folks never really talk to each other unless there's catalyzing issue. looking at a waterfront issue for structure, think is that perfect issue could i also think it's not just about the community good i think you need our elected leaders to be strong on this issue not just locally in san francisco but around the region. they are competent in richmond has been great about putting this out front and center in his administered mayor-in berkeley other folks around the bay area been concerned about is good to get her elected officials leisurely together to work out issues that are that far outlasted terms is always a challenge. but we seen those conversations happen not just in a way that because they feel

like they have to. it's happening in a very intelligent wants to wear. that gives me hope walking in the right direction but this way, statement is push the boulder up they'll kind of scenario. i think that's what we are doing very well as a city and is a community but i think there's a lot more work to do. >> thank you. one of the things you might also talk about in the future is that you may have to look at bond measures. sometime we might have to pay our own way. we can't depend on the government. washington dc do we might have to pay our own way because it's got a benefit the citizens of the region the citizens of san francisco and also we have to look to the generations coming by and talk behind district would like caretakers and we have to take care of it. i hope that you come back in the spring and update this summer on where you are at and keep us-we have to continue to keep this discussion and let us know it on anything we can do because were one of the stakeholders did i really appreciate you coming out. thank you. >> thank you president adams wasn't happy to come out at any time >> clerk next item please >> item let 11 b update on

the seawall resilience project. >> good afternoon once again commissioners. project manager in engineering division. i'm going to stick to the teleprompter today. >>[laughing] avalon presentation. so, maybe you do your best to stay with me here. this is an informational updates the was a really really long presentation >> on the seawall resilience project. today's update is to inform you the earthquake vulnerability study is complete and available to the public to provide a review of the seawall vulnerability impacts and mitigation concepts and provide an overview of the next steps to advance the project. i would like to note the leadership of mayor ed sleight the city's capital planning committee and

the port commission for supporting the effort to date and providing significant additional financing to advance the project. the current budget now stands at $9.5 million including $3.5 million from the port and 6 million from the city. this will allow us to move the project forward without delay. you remember this. the original shoreline in the 1850s. this photo shows yerba buena to take advantage of this kind of bait the state for the [inaudible] without charge to grade the seawall and create a deep water port. the seawall was constructed out in the bay by dredging a trench through the mud doing with rock and capping with a short bulkhead wall on in wharf to get out to deeper water. when behind was created by filling

on top of bait mud. bait mud. construction started in 1879 near fisherman's wharf finished nearly 4 decades later. by mission creek transforming the city and creating a waterfront that we have today. this section shows the typical condition and one of the historic bulkhead buildings which the bulkhead building sits on piles driven through the rock seawall. since 1906 san francisco has experienced a historically quite period of seismic activity can seismologist think this bird that may be coming to an end as stresses begin to build back up after the 1906 earthquake. the usgs protects this a 72% chance of at least one major earthquake striking the bay area within the next 30 years. last major earthquake could test the waterfront with the great earthquake of 1906. while

the 1989 earthquake was significant, and caused the city considerable damage and suffering, its epicenter was 60 miles from the san francisco. in fact, the city was only subjected to moderate levels of ground shaking for about 8-10 seconds. in 1906 earthquake least 60 times more energy should the city for nearly 8 min. only the ferry building and the northern portion of the rock were in place at that time. this picture your today's pier 27 shows evidence of the rock seawall shifting they buy several feet and lateral spreading damage in the sediment of the embarcadero. this is a typical condition on the seawall today. the rock dyke in bulkhead wall supports filled lands it provides shoreline protection. the bulkhead work is supported by the wall and partly driven through the rock get the bulk of building sit above and pier

and chips extend they were. the major earthquake. much of the field behind the seawall is expected to liquefied which increases pressure on the seawall. the lease was below the rock two zones of failure resulting in the rock dyke settling and moving they weren't until strong ground shaking stops. as you penetrate the rock by including those that support bulkhead wall and works of art dongle vulnerable to damage involved. the landline is honorable to settlement and lateral spreading as we saw in the 1906 photo. increasing the risk of damaged utilities and the embarcadero. the earthquake on her ability study includes massive expected permanent ground displacement at various earthquake levels. these are lateral-these which

are looking at now are lateral spreading maps showing a repeat of the 1906 earthquake and will miss over 1 foot can cause significant problems. these maps indicate that move mints can reach 3 feet or more in some locations. it's important to note that this is a screening level analysis and detailed study is needed for each facility. so, don't get too excited by the specific contours locations. earthquake damage is not the only risk facing the waterfront. sea levels are expected to increase much more quickly over the next 1-2 centuries as a result of climate change could today's best guidance is the plan for 12-24 inches of sea rise by 2050. to put that into context, from 1900-2000 the day rose approximately 8 inches. today, we see evidence of a combination of waterfront settlements and sea level rise manifesting itself an occasional nuisance flooding just south of the building.

this map shows the coastal 100 year flood zone in the year 2000. the 100 year flood is a flood event is 1% probability of occurring in any given year. it is a statistical combination of lunar tides, oceans welcome and storm surge and wind driven waves. it does not include rain, precipitation. the embarcadero roadway is vulnerable in this at 2000 between mission and fulsome streets. just 6 inches of sue sea level rise the 100 year flood owner building increases consider the waterfront near the ferry building is at risk including all vehicle lanes of the embarcadero from washington street 2 howard st. under the high sea level rise scenario projections this could be our situation next year. under the likely scenario this could be our situation in 14 years. at

12 inches of sea level rise, the 100 year flood vulnerabilities to the underground bart including transbay tube. the embarcadero from broadway to harrison. the first two blocks of market street. this could be our situation in 14 years under the high scenario. were 30 years under the likely scenario. it seems that every day we read in the news the high scenario becomes more likely scenario. of 18 inches at sea level rise the 100 year flood risk to downtown is considered. approaching the yerba buena code. this could be our situation and 25 you. under the high sea level rise scenario or 50 years under the [inaudible] scenario. impacts from the earthquake and flooding damage at the seawall include risk to life safety, damage to port and city infrastructure and

disruption to the port city and region. earthquake lay safety risk from seawall movement is highest along the embarcadero promenade in bulkhead buildings. lay safety threats may increase due to impaired emergency response. this fire boat is designed to pump water from the bay to the city's auxiliary water system. the talking points and hookups are adjacent to the seawall. the major local seismic event could erode horribly damage the embarcadero historic district. damaged utilities along the seawall leading to a loss of water, sewer, power and gas service to the waterfront and portions of the city. damage may also include the ferry docks, muni trains, the embarcadero roadway in the multiuse promenade. the

vulnerability study indicates that $2.1 billion per year in port rents, business income and wages that port facilities as that rested this does not include other areas of the city. the citywide tourist industries valued at over $11 billion per year. much of which takes place on the waterfront. the ferry and cruise industry pilots, water taxis, all part of the maritime industry is expected to play a major role in earthquake recovery, subject to contingent axis. access. they has always been one of the major assets of san francisco. the main reason the city grew. it can be enjoyed by everyone and has inspired many. today, it is perhaps more popular than ever. more of the city's residents get their exercise along the embarcadero than anywhere else in the city. so,

what late might we do about it? the vulnerability study studied the wide range of improvement for the seawall ranging from various types of ground improvements to structural retrofits and replacements. four basic options are most promising. mitigating liquefaction of filled lands and reduce pressure on the seawall. limiting movement improves the performance of the filled lands in the facilities that sit on them. techniques to do this includes stone columns, soil mixing, and compaction. all of these techniques are highly disruptive and required restoration of service treatments. by only treating the fill, however, the week mud below will complicate any efforts to raise this area in

the future. second, alternative includes ground improvement underneath the rock dyke. improving the soil underneath the rock dyke can provide stability to assist earthquake loads and solid foundations for raising the wall. check routing is a likely technique. it's used small diameter drills to reach the week ground in a high pressure nozzle to mix cement into the soil. once stabilized more conventional retrofits are effective on the non-concrete bulkhead and wall. the third option is ground improvement using landside techniques only. to stay out of the water completely. the prior option would include some work in the water. the combination of soil mixing inject routing can be used on the website of the bulkhead wall to create a stable block so the world resist earthquake rose raised in the few. this avoids working abatement cost concentrated on the embarcadero. stability of the rock dyke is improved but not as effectively as the ground improvement mentioned

above. finally, i knew they would seawall. this alternative seeks to avoid construction in the market or by creating new seawall on the bayside. one method is great sheet pile cell hydraulic refill it with soil using marine equipment in use deep soil mixing equipment to create an approved soil mass. the area between the new and existing walk and maybe filled the lightweight cellular soil creek. this option allows it to raise the new wall area above sea level rise. the earthquake: ability study and the previous sea level rise study were completed have made it clear action is needed to improve the safety and performance of the seawall. it will require significant investment and vision get this should be done with a sense of urgency. as

much as $5 billion to be required for long-term response to sea level rise along this portion of the waterfront and $500 million or more may be needed to plan design and construct the most vertical improvements within a short period of time. moving forward, goals of the seawall gazillions project are to improve earthquake safety without delay. reduce earthquake damage and disruption. lower flood risk,. enhance san francisco date and create a stable foundation for sea level rise adaptation. strategies to import the project include planning for long-term adaptation, limiting disruption during construction, maximizing local business opportunities and jobs, transparency and public accountability, and local state federal and private funding sources. as we move forward, we

must fully engage partner with the regulatory agencies to deliver improvements on time. you can see the complicated picture here. it's currently estimated that $500 million is needed to plan, design permit to construct it was critical improvement and earthquake risk and rising flood risk are driving the project schedule. you can see the earthquake risk on the bottom of the schedule in red now. the flood risk is becoming red as we move towards 2025. given the complexity, we think it's possible to complete this initial effort by the end of 2025 provided we can accomplish planning phase in the next two years. this is imperative we complete a detailed planning effort with widespread stakeholder engagement and transparency to stay on track with the schedule.

success starts at the top. the port executive director will lead the effort along with that the port executive management team. the city executive advisory team will ensure the project is aligned with the short and long-term city goals and priorities. the tactical advisory panel subject matter experts will provide oversight and guidance in waterfront design seismology, engineering, construction, and the baby environments. the hiring process is already started for additional staff to execute the project including hiring a project manager it project administrator, public relations officer, environmental planner, and the mayor senior failed to assist with public policy. finally, consultants of the port will be needed to execute much of the project to planning through conservative staff anticipates advertising a master project management contract later this year and we when we returned to the commission with detailed request in the coming months.

there are several key efforts underway that relate to this project. the resilient san francisco strategy that we just heard from patrick. the waterfront plan update, which is the land use urban plan design policies along the port one. the mayors sea level rise committee, which released a sea level rise action plan. finally, we are working with the living city's infrastructure cohort to look at a grants program the focus on innovative financing approaches. you made it onto them. next steps. finally to wrap up, the next ups are to assemble the project team, collaborate with the city family and the city's executive advisory team. form the technical advisory panel. develop a detailed project management plan could advance the consultant selection process. advanced the
