agreements when they go into the par program. secret nondisclosure agreements to they can't talk about what's going on. i think it's illegal and n. a public body to require nondisclosure agreements. why with you do that? why would you do that for a teacher? the reason is, there's a lot of bullying -- workplace bullying and discrimination going on against the teachers and staff in san francisco. we have examples with the martin luther king middle school where teachers were being bullied by the principal and the assistant principal, harassed out of the school. there was a frame up against a staff member to fire him and one of the problems is there's not transparency. i think there needs to be an investigation of this program, and i think it should be terminated or at least moratorium should be put on the program and action against teachers until there's a full investigation. i found it -- we found it outrageous that $1 million is being spent on this program when that money should be going to the teachers, should be going to

the staff. it's coming from parcel a. it was teachers were unaware this was going to be happening. the public is unaware. if it's going to go places should go to the teachers and staff and not consultants and programs that bully and intimidate the teachers. we say enough is enough. it's time to stop harassing and bullying the teachers out of their jobs. >> okay. thank you. the next item is 2, posted in the agenda a listing of cash donations. also, of supplies and equipment items donated to the district item n is the memorial adjournment. this is in memory of ann austin, a retired district administrator. educator ann austin served in an exemplary manner for more than 30 years as a teacher, counselorrer, assistant principal, program director, and principal of the san francisco unified school district.

sea. educator austin urned it the school around. she implemented the 3as, which the school uses today, first is for attendance. second is for attitude. third is for achievement. she coined the terms i rise for the exemplary saturday school program held at dr. martin luther king middle school in partnership with the sfusd and the san francisco alliance of black school educators. ann austin passed away on march 13th, 2018, and the board of education, the superintendent of schools extend our deepest sympathy to her husband of 52 years, dr. therman austin. she now takes her rest. however, she will never be forgotten by her students, colleagues, parents, and family who make up the sfusd. thank you to virginia and emily for providing us this beautiful tribute to educator ann austin.

all the men and women safety and for the and we want to commemorate what happened today on this morning. there was seismic activity and there was fires that swept our city from the maps and it was because from our resilient community then and now that we are the vibrant city that we are san francisco. there are four people that i'd like to just reflect upon that we've lost. one, who i became friends with, he died in january of 16 at the age of 110. he was one of our last survivors. i meet with his niece yesterday at the john's grill lunch in they had. bill del monte was a great san francisco an and i want to acknowledge him. he lost michael, he had great

love for this city and captured many photographs of our city and particular public safety departments. i know we have an under sheriff here. sheriff hennessey couldn't be here today. i'd like you to keep her thoughts and prayers. she lost her husband jim, a 34 year veteran of the san francisco police department over the weekend. i want to thank mayor farrell, it was an honor and privilege to work for mayor ed lee. today is bittersweet in that this is the first water fountain that he has not participated in. not only was he tremendous leader, a great advocate for public safety and a true team player. he became really a mentor to me and also a friend and it was an honor for me at 4:30 to pick up his wife, who has joined us here today. my thoughts and prayers are

continuing to be with the lee family. thank you for coming out. i'd like to pay a huge tribute to mayor edwin lee. thank you. [applause] joanne, making it happen this morning. all right. we have a few more folks to bring up before we do our singing and we hang the wreath here. our newest edition of law enforcement in the city, i got to meet about this time last year when he first arrived in town, our police chief bill scott, everybody! [applause] >> good morning, everybody. so, i too would like to thank all of our public safety partners but i also would like to thank the other members of the city family that always is shoulder to shoulder with us and that -- they're right behind me. we have a great team in this city. so let's give them a round of applause as well.

[applause] >> when you talk about resilience, when you talk about being ready for the big one, i know you guys see us first, police and fire, we're in uniform and we get the first call but we can't do what we do without the team of people that i just mentioned and many others that make this city great. we got some great people until this city and we are resilient. so let's take this moment, not only to remember all of the people that we lost in 1906, but also remember what it takes to survive when we have the big one or a catastrophic incident. be ready. sf72. 72 hours, be ready to take care of yourself for 72 hours. stock up on your water, your food and i can't approach that enough because in times when the big one hits, it might be a while before we can get to you. we always have to be ready and let's be resilient so thank you for being here and again, be

ready and stock up. thank you. [applause] that's why i'm here, all right. chief scott, let's hear it one more time for him! [applause] >> well it's not my pleasure to bring up who we used to call the mayor. he is a real big city mayor and great force in this town. he almost purchased a designer vest for his comments about changing the lotta's fountain. he reconsidered after learning lotta's smoked cigars. here he is. he can fog anybody and do anything he wants up here, welcome our former mayor willie louis brown, ladies and gentlemen. [applause] >> i only have a couple of minutes before all the bells start ringing and the horns start going off. commemorating the time in which the quake actually hit san

francisco. it was some time ago when the first, serving as mayor, that you suggested somehow this fountain should really work. we worked on it and put out a lot of money but we had one great leader doing the job of making sure this fountain ultimately worked. and that was ed lee. he is been referenced by several people. when they've come to say words but there's no way for this city to thank ed lee, except every time we pause, just at the time the bell starts to ring, we must remember the water is flowing because of ed lee. the mayor of san francisco. it's interesting that that would be the case because at the time, in 1906, the chinese, who were harmed just as the quake hit,

were not permitted to use the quake. in the conversation with ed lee about the restoration of the quake, we had that in mind and so on this morning and on this day, i am just delighted that we are pausing to say thank you to a chinese brother who helped put the water back in here for all of us in this to yo true spiritn francisco. please, thank you ed lee. [applause] over the years i've had a great relationship with ed lee. he worked with me, he worked for me, he worked in every capacity he was ever called upon by this city and by you and he did an excellent job. it was because he had an incredible help mate and she's here this morning, you know, i don't know, i think she works as an uber driver part-time.

so i'm just going to ask her to step up here. this is anita lee. [applause] ed's widow and next to him is the mayor of san francisco, and we are about to put a wreath. >> are you ready. >> i'll grab it. >> ladies and gentlemen, we dedicate this death in honor of 43rd mayor of san francisco and to all those who perished during the great earthquake and fire in 1906. and it is possible to get anybody else on this stage. is that possible?

[laughter] how about a hand for all the guys and gals you see up here. our two mayors, our fire chief, police chief, our new mayor, give lee another hand. he is doing a great job. is and we have she we do it no. perfect. our timing is perfect. this is how many people can get into a phone booth. wow, this is like an accident waiting to happen. it's called a fire chief in here to make sure we have too many people on the stage. bring one of your inspectors over. it's about 5:11, 5:10, what do you say right now we ask for a minute of silence to remember those who perished and those who survived the san francisco earthquake. let's start the minute right now.

>> thank you, very much. it's 5:11. [ siren ]

[ fire truck siren ] >> it is now 5:12, what do you say we all start san francisco. let's do it together. >> all right. >> 1, 2, 3 -- ♪ it only takes good timing ♪ ♪ this great big world to make a place ♪ ♪ you love ♪ my home upon the hill ♪ i find i love you still ♪ i've been away but now i'm

back ♪ ♪ to tell you ♪ san francisco ♪ open your golden gates ♪ you'll let no stranger wait ♪ outside your door ♪ san francisco ♪ here is your one ♪ staying a wonder no more ♪ other places only make me love you ♪ ♪ tell me you are a heart of all the golden west ♪ ♪ san francisco ♪ welcome you home again ♪ i'm coming home to go wandering ♪ ♪ no more >> give yourselves a big hands, san francisco, we survived another day! and now it's time to invite everyone to go to 20th and church street for the golden hydrant painting. let's go.

thank you, everybody! >> make sure you follow me up to the hydrant and i want t to congratulate you for knowing all the words. >> hi, i'm with building san francisco. and we have a special program of stay safe today where we're going to talk about what you can do to your home after an earthquake to make it waterproof and to be more comfortable. we're here at spur in san francisco, this wonderful exhibit of safe enough to stay. and this is an example of what your home might be like after

an earthquake. and we have today with us ben latimer from tvan. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> we'll talk about things you can do you don't have to be a professional contractor to make your home more livable after an earthquake. >> i want to talk about things a homeowner can do. we have comfort and we have things like a little bit of maybe safety if your front door is ajar and waterproofing if you have a leak in your roof, or if you have broken glass on the window. >> so unr, one of the most important fib use is keeping outside out and inside in. let's look at windows. >> let's assume this window is broken in the earthquake. we have wind and rain blowing in. one of the most important things you need to do as a homeowner is secure the plastic properly. if you just take staples or nails and put them into the plastic, we're going to get a strong wind and rip it right off. what i'm going to have somebody do is they're going to have -- this is an old piece of shingle.

you might have -- everybody has a piece of wood in their basement. it doesn't have to be fancy. they take out this rusty screw begun, and hopefully you have one of these. >> there is one at the neighborhood support center. >> at the neighborhood support center. you're going to wrap this plastic around this board, take your screw. and then screw that in. >> you need a permit for this? >> you do need a permit for this. and you can contact the former head building inspector to get that permit. that's it. now when the wind blows, it's tight and it's not going to pull through, having a single point of contact. >> great. what about this door? take a look at this door. what can you do? let's say it doesn't shut tight. what can you do? >> for the sake of argument, we're on the inside. i can't lock my door at night. i have a very similar, very similar idea. i'm going to take my 2 by 4.

i can put it across the jamb in the door. one. two. maybe i want another one up here, maybe another one down there. but i can go to sleep. and that quickly, i can get it off in the morning. >> terrific. what about the roof up here? we see people throw blue tarps over their roof after an earthquake. that seems reasonable. >> i think the blue tarp is reasonable. the things that people want to know that they need to know is if you have multiple tarps, how you overlap. starting from the bottom and moving up so that you're overlapping this way. so, rain running down doesn't slide under your tarp. >> right. >> and the same technique we did over here, as silly as it may sound, wrapping the end of that blue tarp with your board and then securing that if you can underneath, if you have to on top is fine. but making sure that you don't have an area where the wind is going to get under and bill owe that tarp.

>> the wind can rip it right off. >> and then you're back up there again. >> let's go inside and check out what we can do inside. >> old fun. here we go. >> so, ben, i see you have nails, universal tool right here. >> man's best friend. duct tape. let me show you a couple things we can use this for after an earthquake. this window right here, because it's off kilter, we have open seams all along. i have a lot of air coming through. i want to stay comfortable at night. i want to keep that air out. it's as simple as that, all the way around. >> excellent. >> now i don't have any air coming in. let's say this one is one that would annoy me. everything is a little off. my doors won't stay closed. i take a piece of my favorite duct tape here, close it up. and at least it will stay out of my way when i'm trying to live throughout my day. if we're not talking about pressurized water, we're talking about just the drain, sometimes they're going to get a crack here. >> right, sure. >> and you're going to get a leak.

duct tape around that is going to help us get through until we can get a plumber out and get that fixed as well. let's say we only have electricity in one room, so we're running extension cords across the house. if i'm going to run an extension cord from one room to the other, i don't want kids tripping on it. i don't want to trippon it. i take my trusty duct tape, tape it to the floor, and i don't have to worry about it getting kicked. >> great, great. look at this. let's look at the duct tape here because we see a big -- >> yes. in the event of an earthquake, i don't think we're going to have too many -- too much debris that's safe to put into a plastic bag, even as strong as it might be. these are called vice bags. this is what they use to put rice and things when they ship it. this is something where i take my glass, i can take broken pieces of wood, i can take anything sharp and fill it. and it's not going to puncture and come out. it's not going to fall all over the floor. i've not going to have it sticking out, maybe scratch myself, cut myself or anything like that. these are a great thing to

have. >> you have a little go-to box for emergencies. that's great. thanks very much for joining us, ben. it's really been interesting. and i want to thank you all for joining us here at the spur urban center. and we'll see you again >> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco.

sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership

with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of

clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design
