we do open it next time, it is safe for everyone, and we don't have to do this again. and so while, again, everyone wants a date when it's going to happen, i just put out caution until we know, we really don't know. so i like what you're doing. i appreciate what you're doing. i like the members of the first panel, seismic review panel will find out the members of the second panel that m.t.c. is putting together. as the engineer said last time, it is -- engineer of record said last time, it's unfortunate, but steel does crack, and it does happen luckily often, not too often, but it does, and until we do peer review test and other things, that will determine how we fix it. i always say, there's plenty of time to place blame.

thank you. i do believe we have a couple public comments. >>clerk: yes. we have roland lebrun followed by bruce? bruce. >> thank you, directors. so four things. first of all, on the brown act, i think some clarification's required, and to your point, director harper, i'll be writing to you as to what can be done to put this peer review to the public. now with regard to the peer reviews, i don't know if somebody can show it up on the screen, this hanger beam is key to what happened here.

my advice is we focus moving forward, and find out what load of the bus deck is. the bus deck is moving up and down, which means that beam is pushing or pulling on the park, which is the beam that failed. specifically, whether there was a scenario of a fully loaded muni bus in an emergency braking situation whether it was on top of fremont or first and what happened. in closing, i'd like to mention a couple of monitoring system permanent to your point, director chang. it says, three dimensional services of high-rises while they are in service are becoming more common. the surveys allow owners to monitor the rate of deterioration, create analysis

report, and limit the possible of catastrophic failure. at the end, it says ageing, deformation and movement are inevitable. 3-d laser scanning is the most cost effective manner to lower cause structures and remediating costs. now, the last thing i want to touch on is something a little bit more complicated, but it has to do specifically with bridges. and it was first -- so on the prior point, i believe you're familiar well with what i'm talking about. so in closing, 3d laser scanning -- [inaudible] >> 3 dimension -- oh -- basically, what it does, steel

does not just fail. it starts making sounds, and if you monitor it, you can also hear it. also, if you've got something like a crack, and you use -- i forgot what the terms were, you can determine exactly when the crack happened, so i'm writing to you with the specifics of how this happened. >> vice chair gee: thank you, mr. lebrun. >> thank you very much. >>clerk: bruce? >> thank you for listening. i was here last week, and i made a statement. mr. peskin, i think that's your name, if i could hear it correctly. >> director reiskin: reiskin. peskin is a totally different person. >> i apologize. so of course, you made some very interesting points that i'd like to get back into depth. you said you weren't here last

week. i can't remember if you were or not, and that is that these major girders are the principle members that held up everything below and above, and the notion is one cracked all the way through, and another one cracked partially through. so you can moment that the 2k3w girder had no movement capacity. therefore, others bore a secondary load, so there's been no specific announcement beyond the girder that anyone is going to look into the secondary load path, the possible yielding, the possibly loading problems, so i just wanted to say because of your investigateative minds, it's not going to be the girder, it should be the secondary load

that should be published. the idea is right now, you could determine to some degree the secondary load path overloadings. >> director reiskin: thank you. >>clerk: that concludes the public comments. >> vice chair gee: could the director speak to that? right now we know there's load being distributed to places that it hadn't been designed to carry. >> yeah. part of the peer review, i mentioned before, part of the recommendation is to let us know what other members to look at, including any over stressed members that are adjacent to the two members that cracked. >> vice chair gee: so we've not yet done that in terms of the analysis that's being carried. >> no, we have not. our priority is to find out what happened, get the solutions, and

then get that corrected. m.t.a. was designed for dead load, live load, and seismic load. the park has been dry. it hasn't rained, so that really gives you that dead load. live load, we haven't had the whole number of buses that we need yet, and the park is not full of people, along with saturated soil, and we haven't had seismic loading yet. so in theory, the building's designed for quite a bit of loading capacity, that's right. so -- but we will be looking at all aspects of where the load transferred, what other secondary members took up that load, and if there are any issues there, we would rectify that. as well as are there any members in the transit center itself that we need to evaluate as a

result of the test results, welding and everything else. >> rather than have a conversation, can you just ask the m.t.c. panel what are the things that need to be looked at? that would be a great start consistent with the comments that the public speaker made. no, please, but thank you. [inaudible] >>clerk: the mic is off. >> vice chair gee: executive director just because of the urgency and sensitivity, if there needs to be a special board meeting, please do not hesitate to call it and keep the board and the public informed. i know we don't want to get in the way of what's going on, but having a special abort immediating is appropriate. if we need to meet every week, every other week, we need to do what we need to do to make sure everyone knows what's going on. >> thank you, director. i appreciate the board's supports. >> vice chair gee: next item, please.

>>clerk: all right. next item is item nine, the retail leasing update. >> good morning, drarirectors, mart martha velez. with regard to deals in the pipeline, the numbers in the top row do not reflect a slow down in interest or activity. rather, they reflect a slowing in the amount of time in decision making. a primary factor is an increase in the out-of-pocket costs for the process peculiarti-- prospe

anns. confidence remains high in fully leasing the center in a reasonable amount of time. i should also note here that the temporary closing of the transit center is not a factor. collier's has not seen a corresponding reduction with regard to inquiries. with regard to the next row, store opening targets as indicated, the current sign deals represent over 40% of the transit center, so the 39% target for occupancy in the second calendar of quarter 2019 remains -- remains a good target. this slide is slightly different than last month's in that we wanted to be clearer about what was approved versus what was executed, so the orange shaded areas indicate what is fully signed. last month, the orange shaded areas indicated what was

approved, and i will further explain on the next slide. to walk you through the map, the orange shade, tlehese are lease that are fully signed and in the design process. these are five leases representing eight spaces, which is 42% of the center. space 103 was approved in july, however, did not come to fruition. this was an early deal while the transit center was under construction with some of the base building elements of the space not in place until later, specifically, some mechanical units. so when in place, the configuration of the space did not work for the tenant's concept. as such, it is shown in green, back on the market to be leased. with space 131, this was

approved in september, however it was not fully signed. the final lease document is with the prospective tenant, and they are expected to sign it next week. similarly, it is shown in green. to mitigate this with other early interested parties, collier's and the lincoln construction team are rewalking the spaces with the prospective tenants to make sure the current space configurations work. to close, in general, interest continues to be strong with many of the spaces having multiple parties interested in them. that's my leasing update. any questions? >> vice chair gee: thank you for your update. any questions? director harper? >> representative harper: given the flexibility we're now

encountering, let's make sure the leases that -- we've executed one or two, right? >> actually, we've executed eight. >> eight. they may need to be looked at or amended in some respect for this. i don't know what the details are in dates and things like that. and the ones that we are going to execute, we'll have to -- maybe have to be looked at in terms of the flexibility we need. so -- and i'm sure that's going to be done. but any way, that's -- i just -- let's not let that -- let's not forget that -- that's what? [inaudible] >> representative harper: the other thing is if there's anything that i hope that could be conducted between the temporary and the permanent fix period, however long it is, i would hope that it would be to

allow tenant improvements to take place because that just makes it all the much worse if all of a sudden we end up with worst case, three, four months there in which tenants did want to get in and get started and really had contracted setup and things like that. so my encouragement, if there's anything we should be a limited opening for, it would be the construction crews. there's going to be more people working on our fix, any way, than what there'll probably be in there, but i think that should be seriously considered. >> director zabaneh, did you want to make a comment? >> yeah. director, we have five concepts open for lease. our discussions with them is that hurry up so we can start the tenant improvements right now so the transit center is closed so they have maximum

access. especially for the areas above the muni bus plaza, we have our offices and we have offices for lincoln, property asset manager. we want to take the opportunity while the muni bus center is closed to do as much as we can. also, sf fitness is doing their design right now. we're having discussions right now if they want to hurry up, we can give them more access. we're taking the opportunity right now to let them know that they have more access to the building than when the building is operational, and if they hurry up, we can expedite tenant improvements. we don't intend to amend the leases. i think everybody realizes it's a matter of time before we open the transit center and gain the interest that we had before. >> representative harper: so if i could just clarify, the current situation is not

impacting interest to the spaces we're showing tenants when we're starting work? >> the transit center is three distinct buildings. you've got the east building parked which is where fremont street, central building, which is west of first, and then, the west building, which is the -- by second street. the center and west building are not affected. >> so hare the food trucks stil out? >> no, the food trucks aren't still out. so when we decide that we can redeploy, we'll do that. >> 'cause they're over to the end of the west building. >> they are, but we haven't activated the building for the public. we're using it for construction work, basically. once we open the park, we can activate the food trucks and so

forth. >> okay. my sense was most people using the food trucks are from the surrounding ground level neighborhood, not necessarily coming from the park. >> actually, a lot of them just took their food to the park. >> that was a pattern that we saw very early. yes, they grabbed their food and went up to the park. >> they stood in line and went up to the park and enjoyed their foods. >> it was a decision not to have the food trucks operate during this time made by the tjpa or private vendors. >> we closed it this entire time -- >> i'm just trying to decide. you said theed are stand-alone buildings, we can show tenants, and improve tenant work, this is the very southwest end of the building, so i'm just not really understanding why that area would be impacted at all by what's happening here? >> because the main interest in

the transit center was the park, and we've closed the park. then, there's no other areas -- we can put back the food trucks, but we can look at that, but, you know, we decided to close the whole -- >> if there's not a safety reason for them not to be there, i would at least see if the food truck vendors are interested in being there. >> we can look into that. >> we can certainly follow up on that. >> we'll look into it. >> all right. thank you. any other questions from the directors? all right. >> thank you. >> i believe that concludes our agenda today. thank you for all being here. we'll see you at our next meeting. meeting adjourned. thank you.

good afternoon, everyone, my name is naomi kelly and i'm the city add straight to be. thank you for joining us here at the marine memorial. i'm pleased to share the summary of recommendations from the tall building's safety strategy. this was a report that was commissioned by our late mayor edwin lee. who asked myself and the director of the department of the emergency management to work with outside consultants to help

us preview our existing tall buildings in san francisco. copies of the summary and the recommendations and summaries are available here and will be postponed online at one san francisco.org/resilience/sf. it's a pioneering effort by the city of san francisco is the first of its kind in this nation. and it represents 14 months of city wide collaboration with the san francisco tall building stock. having this information available is a huge step forward and our ability to think collectively and proactively as a city about the seismic safety and the resilience of our tall buildings in the implications of their surround be neighborhoods. here today, we have with -- we just came from a tall building

panel discussion and discuss our strategies with us today is professor greg deerloin and a member of the applied technology council. he is an author of the study many of we also have mary ellen carole the director of the department of emergency management and angus carty and oohed like to bring up professor to discuss a little bit about the recommendations in this report. >> thank you. i've been working on a team with the applied technology council with the team of other academics and technical engineers to develop this. there's 16 recommendations in our plan. i won't a at the present time to go through all of them. a few of the high points, first to get a handle on the issues with tall buildings, we initiated developing a data base of how many tall buildings are there in san francisco. what are their occupancy and

about what types of materials were they built out of. depending on the age and materials of the buildings, we learned things through subsequent earthquakes. with concrete structure and in 1994 north ridge earthquake and l.a. we learned about fracture issues with frames. in the existing building inventory of tall buildings there's many of those tall steel moment frame buildings in the city. so from that, we developed recommendations and some of these are related to what we can do better on new buildings and there's some related to putting more pre and there are looking at tall buildings and recognizing current building codes just to protect life safety of a building. they don't address recovery. thinking that tall buildings, especially those that are residential, are housing increasing number of people on

the city and offices. on tall buildings, who we think of upping the seismic design requirements to address the issues of recovery to reduce the risk of damage and down time of the buildings. we also have a number of issues that are related to what you can do before an earthquake to address the existing building stock. one of these is looking back at the types of buildings that these welded steel moment frames that were damaged in the north ridge earthquake, the earthquake occurred years before that here in san francisco and there's never been a systematic reassessment of those buildings. some of the connection fracture was not obvious. there's a start to look at the existing problem to go back and recommending to. there are things on existing get a better handle on older buildings that may have

deficiencies that are the trigger the building code can use to. when major buildings change hands, that might be a time to do an assessment of it and there's a major new tenant lease or something like that. there some of the recommendations for the new buildings and building eveners and commercial owners have insurance or other financial capital where when there's damage they'll be prepared to repair their buildings for their own ache and collectively for the community and liking and recognizing the stressors after earthquakes and the set of recommendations is looking at what we can do and anticipating inspections after the earthquake. and of course, california the city of san francisco emphasized a lot doing post earthquake buildings inspections, training

people and getting volunteered lined up and so fourth but are there issues to tall buildings or systems that can be more proactive. san francisco has pioneered a system program building occupancy program that is voluntary that any building owners can lineup ahead of time and do studies and inspect and recover and to exercise that board program and run a field exercise and think about if it should be required or some version of it be pride for some, tall buildings or gone back to existing ones. there's a number of sort of recommendations on being better prepared to following an earthquake and to inspect tall buildings and if there's damage to tall building and sometimes that can trigger larger assessment and retro fits and to again, reassess whether those triggers in the building code and how they apply to the

inventory of tall buildings that exist there now and also the steel frames, concrete building and they're specialized guidelines that have been developed over the years to inspect those to make sure that they're part of the program here. finally, our last set of recommendations is to continue to enhance this data base of tall buildings with more buildings and with also getting more information, different types of information on the buildings and in fact, then to use that to look at a plan for dense parts of districts three and six with low rise and just to kind of go through and anticipate what some of the issues might be better prepared for those issues. that's a snapshot of those 16 recommendations. >> are there any questions? we'll open up for q and a. >> yes.

>> so, there were 156 tall buildings, why now? and why not before now? >> well, i'll just say this, san francisco has had one of the most -- some of the most stringent building codes in the country. there's been and we always are looking at how do we improve those codes? just saying that in what was different now is that we're looking at existing buildings. we're always moving forward in improving our code for new buildings. now we're going to go back and look at existing buildings and see what can we do to go back and make those more resilient. not just making sure that we can get out after a major disaster. but now that more and more people in this area, what can we do to make sure everyone stays in place. >> two years ago, when there was a huge attention to tall buildings. as a result, we want to make

sure there's trust in government. the trust in our regulators and we want to make sure we do it in a transparent and un bias way and that's why we asked the -- that's why mayor lee asked us to reach out to some of the academics and engineers who weren't conflicted and worked on some of these tall buildings in the downtown san francisco area. they helped us with our review of our existing building codes. and see what we can do to even go above and beyond what we already do. and again, just look at the resilience. we would like to stay in san francisco when the next one, the next big one hits or anything else and so we want to make sure that we're able to stay and live here in san francisco. and be a safe place for our residents and tourists and visitors.

>> thank you for the question. also, i'm one of the authors of the study. i have a team. so, this type of fractures that occurred in the 1994 north ridge earthquake, occurred in a time of welded steel program popular for buildings of various rights uheights. from the 1970s up to the northridge earthquake. that was the type of construction used throughout, especially the western u.s. it would effect los angeles, seattle, oakland. it's not unique to san francisco. that would have occurred in all of these cities. i think this is kind of one of

the first efforts i think to really look back and start to address and be proactive about starting to look more carefully at assessing those buildings. i would emphasize, you hear in the news and l.a. has an ordinance on the book for non ductal concrete buildings the level of risk in those is much, much higher than what we expect in the welded steel moment frames. it's reasonable that it wasn't on the top of the list but now, because of the large inventory of them here to be proactive looking at them is why now? >> is there a priority? how do you prioritize it? there were 15 major recommendations. what are the priorities with the top? are you going to enact them all at once? >> let me turn it back to naomi. in our report that you have there, we listed the end, out of

those 16 recommendations, short, medium and long-term. we didn't feel we could prioritize them. they're all important. the short, medium and long-term, we prioritized in terms of which were low-hanging fluid that you. the others would be long-term. we provided that input to the city. in terms of priorities, my sense is that needs to be a continuing discussion amongst agencies. >> sure, we can. but i have another question over here. >> what about buildings going down -- >> we did look at that. that was a question we got.

so a few things. first, in the building inventory, we tried to identify of the existing 156 buildings what foundation types they have and we have to look at the numbers but out of that 156, there's three or four that have the drilled shafts that go to bedrock. we point out in our reports, one of our recommendations is to for a group to put together an administrative bulletin or information sheet to take the best practice in geo technical engineering and the foundation design is less pre descriptive in the building code. it's to try to get the best practice from the geo technical engineering community and others to kind of agree on that and for the city to have kind of a incorporate that they're building code or to have that as an administrative bulletin. part of that answer you would get from every geo technical foundation engineer is whether

or not a foundation goes to bedrock is building-specific. it's very site specific. so while in the popular press, it might say every building should do that there's no reason to do that. it would be a number one a waste of resources to do that every case and there's also even in more environmental impacts when you are going down to those depths. >> don. most of the -- out of those 156, except for three or four, some of them are on shallow foundations, map foundations that might be on rock or shallow stand layers and some of them are on pile foundations with the mat. >> are they the most vulnerable? >> going through the site exploration, i mean, geo technical engineers and this is not around san francisco and around the world. this is something geo technical engineers focus on. what's the best foundation type. there's important cost

implications in performances so the community at large does a good job on it. what our recommendation does is helps san francisco and the building department here have their own set of a little bit more pre descriptive or requirements on good perhaps that will building departments look at that. >> yeah. well, the current building code requirements, these are two in san francisco and across the u.s., it's based on a national standard. it says that under an expected earthquake, which is sort of the one we assessed in the studies we did, that buildings can drift two percent. that means that under this very large earthquake, if you had a story height that was

100 inches, two inches. and under more severe quakes it's more. that's a level where it damages the non structural components. interior partisan walls. curtain walls. they are designed to accommodate that drift and not lose the facade but drop it off. it could cause leakage problems. one of our recommendations is to revisit that and to think about tightening it up. part of why we do that for tall buildings too, because of a variety of design constraints we did a survey of many of the tall building that's have been until the in san francisco, los angeles, seattle and other cities, and many of the buildings don't approach or don't typically push that maximum limit of that 2%. some of them are close to one or one and a half percent. we're asking look at that and if that could improve the recovery of these buildings to think about imposing that, here in san francisco, it's along the lines

of these initiatives to have functional recovery or recovery based or occupancy and it's going in that direction. not yet. when we bantered around, it might be a number of one or one and a half percent instead of the two. but that is something i think, our recommendation is really in san francisco it has a long history of this is to bring together groups of engineers, structure engineers to really talk about that and sort through the issues and come up with a consensus on what a good number it would be. >> all new buildings are safe. all existing buildings are. all the recommendations are important. the example of puerto rico, you know, we've been reading about in the news media how the

biggest loss of life in puerto rico from the hurricane was not during the hurricane but it was the slow recovery for the year after it. part of our recommendations here so to make sure the areas of california can recover better so people get emergency care and all those things. there's not a direct relationship between any of these and say lives. >> i think from our perspective, and the recommendations that apply to emergency management and response, are around accelerating our ability and resources to do assessments. so we can determine the extent of damage. again, we expect that, as the professor states, we don't expect to have complete failure

of these buildings. our bigger concern, probably is the longer term recovery and when we can get people back in the residentses and businesses back up so we're looking at that from that perspective. it will take a lot of resources to get engineers to do the type of assessments we need. and then we're looking at -- we've committed to putting together a financial, a specific financial district response plan because there's some, with all these buildings there's a unique environment and particular challenges that will have as far as that goes. so working with building owners and businesses residential and neighborhoods in these areas to look at longer term recovery and immediate response. >> i really wouldn't add anymore to that many of this is the type of thing that keeps us awake at night.

how we can get better at this. the program we have in place we're evolved and trying to improve that. we have a program we're trying to influence new building owners to participate. it will help us and the recovery. getting people back into their buildings quicker and sooner. this is the thing we're always evolving and trying to improve on. >> that was a great question. anybody else want to answer? [laughter] >> in terms of how it was founded, it's an interesting story. the day after the north ridge earthquake, you didn't read about this in the headlines and

the fact it was different ways. it was one building i know that had residual draft. other ended on broading to inspect those in a couple of those and they looked into the connection and spotted some of these fractures and there was one building under construction where the connections were exposed so that is how it was found. and then that -- you know, it became, it was so obvious in the few that was found, if you look at newspaper articles a time a month or two after the earthquake they said and if we want a year later it was 100 buildings after they had a proactive inspection program. that's how it was found. it was due to a combination of design and detailing practices and how they connection details that were used and the weld medals and the welding processes and since that time, the steel industry has stepped up and have much more stringent requirements on those types of systems and in terms of of what can be done, some of these building have been

retro fit and meaning that that would involve going in and removing and replacing the weld medal. it's augmenting with braces or viscuk dampers. i think one of the questions is like how do you start that process if you have a building that is vintage, there's actually inspection protocols and one of our recommendation snow squalls to bring those forward into make more known in the city. they are statistical based. if you have a building of that vintage you open up and look at connections and if you see damage, look at a few more. at some point, if you don't see damage, you are reasoning you don't have that problem. >> well, in our data base and we focus on buildings and the number is about 60 or 70. i have been asked that question. now there's many buildings, that's 240 feet. there's many other steel frame buildings below that. one of our recommendations, for

the city to require an inspection of steel frame buildings that existed in 1989, would trigger that, which could be -- how that's crafted whether it's all buildings or the taller buildings is remains to be seen. i don't know the number for all the steel buildings in the city. >> all right. well, i do know that the city, along with the department of building inspection, the department of emergency management, my office and our board of supervisors and mayor look forward to this report and start implementing the recommendations. thank you very much for being here today.

bayview. >> a lot discussion how residents in san francisco are displaced how businesses are displaced and there's not as much discussion how many nonprofits are displaced i think a general concern in the

arts community is the testimony loss of performance spaces and venues no renderings for establishes when our lease is up you have to deal with what the market bears in terms of of rent. >> nonprofits can't afford to operate here. >> my name is bill henry the executive director of aids passage l lp provides services for people with hispanics and aids and 9 advertising that fight for the clients in housing insurance and migration in the last two years we negotiated a lease that saw 0 rent more than doubled. >> my name is ross the executive directors of current pulls for the last 10 years at 9 and mission we were known for the projection of sfwrath with taking art and moving both a

experiment art our lease expired our rent went from 5 thousand dollars to $10,000 a most. >> and chad of the arts project pursue. >> the evolution of the orientation the focus on art education between children and patrol officer artist we offer a full range of rhythms and dance and theatre music theatre about in the last few years it is more and more difficult to find space for the program that we run. >> i'm the nonprofit manager for the mayor's office of economic workforce development one of the reasons why the mayor has invested in nonprofit displacement is because of the challenge and because nonprofits often commute technical assistance to understand the negotiate for a commercial lease. >> snooechlz is rob the

executive director and co-founder of at the crossroads we want to reach the disconnected young people not streets of san francisco for young adults are kicked out of the services our building was sold no 2015 they let us know they'll not renew our lease the last year's the city with the nonprofit displacement litigation program held over 75 nonprofits financial sanction and technical assistance. >> fortunate the city hesitate set aside funds for businesses facing increased rent we believable to get some relief in the form of a grant that helped us to cover the increase in rent our rent had been around $40,000

a year now $87,000 taylor's dollars a year we got a grant that covered 22 thousands of that but and came to the minnesota street project in two people that development in the better streets plan project they saved us space for a nonprofit organization national anthem and turned out the northern california fund they accepted us into the real estate program to see if we could withstand the stress and after the program was in full swinging skinning they brought up the litigation fund and the grants were made we applied for that we received a one thousand dollars granted and that grant allowed us to move in to the space to finish the space as we needed it to furniture is for classes the building opened

on schedule on march 18, 2016 and by july we were teaching classed here. >> which we found out we were going to have to leave it was overwhelm didn't know anything about commercial real estate we suggested to a bunch of people to look at the nonprofits displacement mitigation program you have access to commercial real estate either city owned or city leased and a city lease space become available there is a $946,000 grant that is provided through the mayor's office of economic workforce development and that's going to go towards boulder the space covers a little bit less than half the cost it is critical. >> the purpose of the organization trust to stabilize the arts in san francisco working with local agency i go

like the northern california platoon fund that helped to establish documents of our long track record of stvent and working to find the right partner with the organization of our size and budget the opportunity with the purchase of property we're sitting in the former disposal house theatre that expired 5 to 10 years ago we get to operate under the old lease and not receive a rent increase for the next 5 to 7 years we'll renting $10,000 square feet for the next 5 to seven years we pay off the balance of the purpose of this and the cost of the renovation. >> the loophole will that is unfortunate fortunate we have buy out a reserve our organization not reduce the services found a way to send

some of the reserves to be able to continue the serves we know our clients need them we were able to get relief when was needed the most as we were fortunate to arrive that he location at the time, we did in that regard the city has been - we've had tremendous support from the mayor's office of economic workforce development and apg and helped to roommate the facade of the building and complete the renovation inside of the building without the sport support. >> our lease is for 5 years with a 5 year onyx by the city has an 86 year lease that made that clear as long as we're doing the work we've been we should be able to stay there for decades and decades. >> the single most important

thing we know that is that meaningful. >> it has been here 5 months and even better than that we could image. >> with the economic development have announced an initiative if ours is a nonprofit or know of a nonprofit looking for more resources they can go to the office of economic workforce development oewd.com slashing nonprofit and found out about the mayors nonprofit mitigation program and the sustainability initiative and find their information through technical assistance as much as how to get started with more fundraising or the real estate assistance and they can find my contact and reach out to me through the circles of the city through the

improvement. my sister is the biggest influence in my life because she taught me to go forward with what makes you happy rather that what makes you the most money. >> i graduated from law school in 1972 at a time when there was a beginning to be an influx of women in the legal profession and tried criminal cases for about 10 years, treatment for delinquent operating programs, government budgets, analyzed fiscal legislation. i came to the san francisco city attorney's office and i have been here for about 12 years advising on tax matters. i did just about anything you can think of. some things that lawyers do and some things that lawyers don't do. >> i'm from the mission in san francisco. i have grown up there and i have lived there pretty much my whole life.

living there, i do see other women, some of them older, some of them look just like me like my age and a lot of them work nanny jobs, child care jobs, retail jobs. i don't know, it seems kind of like a reminder that you are kind of lucky to be where you are, i guess. just when you haven't gone so far at all. i want them to go on maybe go on an interview that's more challenging that they think that they can't get that job. you know, just to kind of challenge and surprise themselves when they get that job and feel better. >> there had been women

practicing law for many years, but there were so few of them that a lot of the issues hadn't really come into play and some of them worked out and some are still being resolved like equal pay and women in lawfirms and making sure women get fair assignments and in the decision making and working with law firms. i consider myself more of a beneficiary of all the women that fought really difficult battles along the way. >>
