key stakeholders and we worked with key stakeholders to really move this project forward. with the school district, you all and the department of elections why is n is really urgent and currently we know there are upcoming i top of that we all to wrap it up i want to just say that we know that as a city, civic engagement is something that we strive for.

>> good afternoon, members of the community. i'm ex executive director and in san francisco. and also members of the collaborative. i'm not going to repeat our two colleagues just shared so i wanted to bring home a couple things. we've all heard what happened on sunday. we have no reason to believe that number 45 will not, you know, try to advance his promises. whether he can or can't and there's a lot of organizations including the aclu stopping a lot of the xenophobic racist towards this nation as a whole. this is no time for our city to not continue to affirm our values. more than that, to affirm we're

leaders. as this country is being put to the test in terms of this nation's values around children and around families, and around people's right to mobility. so, i think the test for san francisco is not our values but about our leading. it's about leading nationally and also internationally. the message of not advancing these resources, which is not that much. we heard 25% for certain department and their spending and a million dollars niagara falls moving costs for an important institution or a city and what we're talking about is $250,000 for seven community-based organizations who the community trusts, who are ensuring that every person in our city can actively participate in the civic life of our community. most importantly the schools where we're raising our children and educating and we are affirming everyday the values of the city so we anticipate that you will continue to support this collaborative and the

funding will be included in the budget and it will send a message that they matter. >> thank you, very much. >> san francisco is a major metropolitan center, is it impossible for you to reach out and engage in negotiating arranging and facilitating greater cultural and arcti arti. i was surprised at the extent of cultural change and performance artists and groups received in keto and while the exhibits were considered at cost they under ride the mission in full. these were typically one evening

events. the embassy of january an provide for a significant sizable and it's an exhibit from southern california depicting a larger than life homeless encampment was in demand across scandinavia. i translated a book a number of decades ago deand the manual script was well received by collection and you see the center for life american studies and cultural understanding and exchange and. i promote it in my experience. i am in conflict with ledge lay ledge tive and i believe they're in presentation and just as i would oppose any similar legislative action seeking to regulate the content of a free press. it is an anti waited approach

relegated to political anthropology. >> thank you, very much. public comment is now closed. i'd like to make a motion to move items 1 and 2 to continue to tomorrow's budget and finance committee. could i have a second, please. mandelman, thank you, very much. madam clerk, do we have any other items before us today. >> there are no items. >> this meeting is adjourned.

>> thank you, wow, we're starting on time, huh? hey to everyone here in soma. i am so excited to be here. this project was approved in 2015. i was on the board of supervisors with former supervisor jane kim. there were a lot of delays.

but delays don't mean denials. this project is going to be done. it is not only going to provide office space, it's going to provide much needed housing in our city. over 800 units of housing with 245 unit of affordable housing for seniors and families who are experiencing homelessness. this is the kind of project that should not be delayed. this is the kind of project that we need in communities all over san francisco. because we know, we have challenges with affordable housing. and we know that sometimes even when we have the financial resources to get the job done, our bureaucracy sometimes gets in the way. we have to change that. because the people who need this housing the most, they're counting on us to make better decisions. they're counting on us to get these projects done. so i want to thank brookfield

and the hertz corporation for sticking with this project to get the job done. this project will provide $76 million in community benefits for the soma neighborhood. and let me just say -- [applause] -- that one of the things i'm most excited about, is that it will be providing art support. as a former director of an arts organization, our arts and our culture are critical to the success of our communities. and it has to be at the center of all of these major projects that we produce. so i'm also excited that soma filipino heritage district is receiving the kind of support it needs, to not only be a cultural district in this community, but it will help to make sure that we provide the kinds of programs and things so that people are reminded of the rich history and

culture of the filipino community and the soma community. so thank you so much for all of the resources, all of the support, all of the excitement. this community-driven project, that is going to really revitalize and change and shape this community and do so in a way that provides mixed-use, that provides new opportunities and that ensures success and safety for this community. thank you, all, so much for being here and playing a major part in sticking with this project. and being very patient, rudy, as we know it took a lot of patience to get this project done. no more delays. we're breaking ground and we're going to get it done. thank you, all, for everyone who played a role in this. [applause] >> thank you so much, mayor london breed. at this point, we'd like to welcome brookville properties

vice president of development, jason bonet. >> well, this is a very exciting day for all of us. over a decade in the making. we've reached this moment because of the vision, and support. because of the tremendous leadership of mayors past and present. thank you to late mayor ed lee for his commitment for more housing to the city. thank you, mayor london breed, for being here today and for your tireless efforts in this city. thank you to our great partners

hurst and to our team at brookfield that is stewarding the project today. mostly we're here because of the dedication of neighbors, artists, nonprofit groups, educators and so many others who are deeply vested in the past, present and future of soma. it provides -- together we create an economic, social and cultural formula to support positive growth. this formula includes sustaining the neighborhood's inclusivity, creativity and roots. it promotes culture and the arts. it provides places of serendipity for people to socialize and exchange ideas. welcoming to all. all this makes 5m what it is today and it will be.

the next generation of mixed-use urban projects. thank you to all of you who showed up today. thank you for the good weather and i'll pass it back. >> thank you, jason. hurst corporation extends more than 130 years here in san francisco. as owner of the project, that storied history continues. please welcome the vice president and general manager stephen hurst. >> reporter: thanks everybody. we're no stranger to the neighborhood. as you heard, 130 years. my great-grandfather took possession of the san francisco examiner in 1887. i moved up here after doing a stint at the l.a. examiner and magazine group in 1984 and

worked in this building 15 years and held 9 different positions. they told me the glass was bullet-proof, all i know you couldn't see in unless it was night. at any rate, we're a longtime member of this neighborhood. we love it. we have a vested interest and we were in on the ground floor planning, along with the city and brookfield going forward. they've both been great partners. we're very pleased to see it coming to fruition. and the mayor mentioned bureaucracy. 11 years is too long to move a project like this that benefits so many. we can't wait to see the open space. it's going to be graen, it's going to be beautiful and i'm sure people are going to enjoy it on a daily basis. with that, i say thank you very much for joining us. enjoy your day.

>> thank you, stephen. the support and guidance of former district supervisor jane kim resulted in a project that always puts the community first. please welcome former district supervisor jane kim. >> thank you so much. it has really been a long journey to get to where we are today. i just want to acknowledge a number of people who made this project, not just possible, but the project that is sitting before you today. a project that is going to achieve 40% affordable and middle income housing, including very low-income housing. a project -- thank you for the applause. a project that is going to achieve open space and arts and also much needed housing here in san francisco. but it took a lot of folks to get us here today. and first i want to acknowledge

all of the members of our community. particularly here in south of market who get involved and engaged on every single new development here in our city, because this is our neighborhood. like many of the folks i'm about to acknowledge, i also live one block away from this development site, so it matters to me what we get to be a part of when we build this community. i want to acknowledge west bay filipino. podco. tenderloin filipino community association. and the mint mall resident building and their leader stefani. and of course, united players. [applause] the many years that we spent in putting this project together, i still remember the first meeting

i had with hearse when they told me the project would be coming to me within a year or 14 months for approval. i smiled. about five years later we had them come before the board of supervisors, but there was a small group of folks that worked to make this happen. now brookfield, jack and alexis and karen johnson and april ng and many of our community leader who told us what they wanted to see. ensuring that as we build more housing and grow this neighborhood, that those who have lived here, can afford to live in this development as well. while 40% is not equal in every development, it's important to know that 40% part of 5m is for

formally erly -- formerly homeless. it's important as we build, to include those struggling, but working to live in the city. i'm so proud of this project. thank you to everyone involved. especially the ladies. they were involved in the negotiation room. alexis, april, karen, in the office, it was a pleasure to see this through. thank you very much and congratulations to brookfield hearst. >> thank you, former supervisor kim. united players says it's takes a hood to save a hood. so organization has been active and participatory in the creation of the 5m program. please welcome united players executive director rudy corpus. [applause] >> thank you, jocelyn. first of all, i want to say

thank you, god, for giving me this opportunity to be here to share with you guys. and be up in here with the mayor, the arest of the you guys. when i walked in earlier today, several people asked me, what you doing here? i said i live here. right down the block. why shouldn't i be here? so i say that because, in order for us to stabilize our community where you have over 100 years of filipino history, you have to be a part of the decision-making that is happening in your community. so when you ask to take the hood to build the hood, i am the hood. i've been here all my life. i used to run up and down these alleys down here and make bad choices, but i'm still here. me and our organization and other organizations here like west bay, the oldest filipino

organization on the west region, we been here. but it's important for us to build relationships. to understand, to be a part of the solution and to be at the table with the people who are here also. that's what community is all about, building relationships. we all going to agree? no, we're not, but we got to sit at the table to figure out what is the best for our people that exist in this community right now. otherwise, we're not going to have no filipino community. you got a building right here, 90% of the people that live here is filipino. we have so many good ideas, but you have to make sure you're sitting with the people that is currently living here to build them bridges. i'm into building bridges, not walls. if you want to come to a neighborhood where i'm at, come see me. because we're going to be here.

that's right, come see me. matt is the district supervisor, but i'm the godfather of this neighborhood. believe that. so i finally want to say this to all my united players to did all the amazing work. we have over 200 kids right now, mayor breed, in this community that we're working with. kids from all over the community. they can't be because they have programming right now. so i want to say. i was asked to come here to be a part of this ground-breaking. we going to use this shovel right here. this is symbolic shovel and i share with you why. green door, other ones, right, was also supported by the late mayor ed lee and the current mayor london breed and jane kim. we melted them guns down for mothers who lost their kids to

gun violence. we put the gun parts in a furnace at 3,000°. we melted it down and made 50 shovels. this shovel right here for the commemoration of martin luther king, had a 50th anniversary when he was assassinated in april, they planted a cherry tree. this is the shovel that was used. his great-great granddaughter used this, to plant a tree for martin luther king. where him and his wife was buried. we use soil from a man who was lynched because he looked at a white woman and they said, you can't look at white women. they use his remains because they burnt him. and they threw him in the ground of the river. the mothers who lost their kids to gun violence, we melted it down and made this shovel. then when i came back to san francisco, we used this shovel

when mayor ed lee died. and we planted this tree. the mahogany tree by the library. so this symbolic shovel is being used to plant things that are really special. so now we breaking ground with this to plant this building right here. so everybody is doing something positive and productive and constructive is with this right here. may the earth again be free. in the bible it says, that swords would be turned into plow share. this is one right here. so you cannot touch nothing unless you using all the right energy and the spirit of love that came from m.l.k., martin luther king, jr., mayor london breed.

this is made out of guns, you all. this is going to break ground for our community and our people. i'm always here to acknowledge my filipino people and everybody from this community that has been here. because when i'm done finished speaking and breaking ground, guess where i'm going? walking right back to my neighborhood. thank you. >> thank you, rudy. thank you to all our speakers. as you can see, we have plenty to grow here. and as we all together break ground, it's a special momentous occasion. so before we move on with our program, we'd like to ask our speakers to take a celebratory photo down here by the trees. because we have plenty of room to grow as a community together. but also wanted to share with everyone as we celebrate

together, we have amazing artwork that is done and we have bags, so please join us in the continuous making of art together with the community. and at this time i'd like to ask the speakers to walk down. >> mayor breed: going to turn the dirt. okay. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! [cheers and applause] [ ♪ ]

san francisco, 911, what's the emergency? >> san francisco 911, police, fire and medical. >> the tenderloin. suspect with a six inch knife. >> he was trying to get into his car and was hit by a car. >> san francisco 911 what's the exact location of your emergency? >> welcome to the san francisco department of emergency management. my name is shannon bond and i'm the lead instructor for our dispatch add -- academy. i want to tell you about what we do here. >> this is san francisco 911. do you need police, fire or medical? >> san francisco police, dispatcher 82, how can i help you? >> you're helping people in their -- what may be their most vulnerable moment ever in life.

so be able to provide them immediate help right then and there, it's really rewarding. >> our agency is a very combined agency. we answer emergency and non-emergency calls and we also do dispatching for fire, for medical and we also do dispatching for police. >> we staff multiple call taking positions. as well as positions for police and fire dispatch. >> we have a priority 221. >> i wanted to become a dispatcher so i could help people. i really like people. i enjoy talking to people. this is a way that i thought that i could be involved with people every day. >> as a 911 dispatcher i am the first first responder. even though i never go on seen -- scene i'm the first one answering the phone call to calm the victim down and give them instruction. the information allows us to coordinate a response. police officers, firefighters,

ambulances or any other agency. it is a great feeling when everyone gets to go home safely at the end of the day knowing that you've also saved a citizen's life. >> our department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. >> this is shift work. that means we work nights, weekends and holidays and can involve over time and sometimes that's mandatory. >> this is a high stress career so it's important to have a good balance between work and life. >> we have resources available like wellness and peer support groups. our dispatchers of the month are recognized for their outstanding performance and unique and ever changing circumstances. >> i received an accommodation and then i received dispatcher of the month, which was really nice because i was just released from the phones. so for them to, you know, recognize me for that i appreciated it. i was surprised to even get it. at the end of the day i was just doing my job.

>> a typical dispatch shift includes call taking and dispatching. it takes a large dedicated group of fifrst responders to make ths department run and in turn keep the city safe. >> when you work here you don't work alone, you work as part of a team. you may start off as initial phone call or contact but everyone around you participating in the whole process. >> i was born and raised in san francisco so it's really rewarding to me to be able to help the community and know that i have a part in -- you know, even if it's behind the scenes kind of helping the city flow and helping people out that live here. >> the training program begins with our seven-week academy followed by on the job training. this means you're actually taking calls or dispatching responders. >> you can walk in with a high school diploma, you don't need to have a college degree. we will train you and we will teach you how to do this job. >> we just need you to come with an open mind that we can

train you and make you a good dispatcher. >> if it's too dangerous to see and you think that you can get away and call us from somewhere safe. >> good. that's right. >> from the start of the academy to being released as a solo dispatcher can take nine months to a year. >> training is a little over a year and may change in time. the training is intense. very intense. >> what's the number one thing that kills people in this country? so we're going to assume that it's a heart attack, right? don't forget that. >> as a new hire we require you to be flexible. you will be required to work all shifts that include midnights, some call graveyard, days and swings. >> you have to be willing to work at different times, work during the holidays, you have to work during the weekends, midnight, 6:00 in the morning, 3:00 in the afternoon. that's like the toughest part of

diaster council meeting of the fiscal year. i'm calling the meeting officially to order. my co chair here, mayor london breed, chief of staff shawn. before we start, i like to start the meeting by remembering one of our colleagues and dear friend who passed away last month. i worked with joanna all 15 years, really that i was here. i learned so much from her and she has instilled in me certa certainly values and advocacy around folks that are the most vulnerable. as we're going to talk about later in the meeting, there are some significant risks we have as a city that will affect our most vulnerable. i want to say a few words about

joanna. she was a trailblazer her entire life. she was the first person with a disability to attend the public school system in her native grease. after graduating, she pursued disability advocacy work. the pacific a.d.a. center and the city of sacramento before she joined the mayor's office of disability in 2006. joanna played a leading role in insuring that the implementation of the american with disability act was consistent with our city's progressive values. her work helped to ensure that san francisco moved closer to inclusion and full social participation of all deaf and disabled people. joanna developed the city's first ever a.d.a. trainers academy and she was passionate about employment, transportation, safety, and disaster planning for people

with disabilities. most recently, joanna's personal testimony on what it is like being a working professional and mother with a disability helped to move s.v.26, the aisesabil y aisesability -- accessibility for all act, that went to be signed in 2018. this ensures wheelchair users will have access in the future. most of all, joanna's love for her family and her kids was central to her life. she taught them the values that she lived by, that disability, equity and culture must be recognized and never separated from race and class and the voices of people with disabilities must always be heard. her unique style and approach, her humor, for sure, will never be forgotten.

i would like you all to join me in a moment of silence to honor our colleague joanna. thank you so much. >> okay, we are going to begin our official meeting agenda. i'm going to be reporting out on last week, last week or so. excuse me, heat response for the days of june 7th to june 11th of this month. so, as everyone knows, i don't need to tell you, most of you were probably here, it got really hot in san francisco. unseasonably high heat caused public health to initiate their extreme heat protocols. these included regular daily d.e.m., instant management calls that we initiated with the

national weather service and lead agencies, many of whom are here today. we issued as a city, daily situation reports, capturing expected temperatures and alternatives to city services based on the city's heat response. we identified facilities for public cooling and there was a robust public outreach, including community based organizations which we will hear a little bit later when the mayor is here. what happened in san francisco? so we did all of this outreach, but really how did it affect us? we had a surge in the 9-1-1 system, which required the need for in-county and out of county mutual aid for ambulance services. the last time this happened was in the 2017 labor day heat wave. fortunately, our mutual aid plans were implemented and

worked like they were supposed to and we were able to manage the surge. the next step we are working on is take a close look at the data to see where these calls originated from, who were the most impacted by the heat, so that we can preposition and put our resources to where they are most needed. all of this calls for a greater understanding and prior authorization of our built environment. the fact is that the majority of our facilities and infrastructures are not equip to handle this kind of heat. while other cities in california can handle 90 degrees and up, and it's not an issue, why is it a crisis for san francisco, and that has to do with our own environment, as i'm sure you all know. we're working with the city administrators office, and we will continue to look for solutions, not only short-term,

but midterm, and long-term strategies to address and improve our capen't -- capabilities for providing air quality relief and looking at long-term potential solutions for adaptation to these new climate changes and extreme weather that we're experiencing. i want to thank everyone, all of my colleagues that came together and got us through this and we will be working on this a lot more and we have some more conversations on this when we get to the public safety shutoff and air quality issues that are on the agenda further. at this time, the public may address the entire disaster council for up to 2 minutes on any item within subject matter that is within jurisdiction of the council. so this is general public

comment. do we have any members of the public here that wish to comment? okay. seeing none, we will move on. so, we are -- let's see, excuse me. so, mayor breed will be joining us in a little bit and at that time, we will pause the meeting for some special accommodations. now we're going to ask brian, where are you? there you are. >> can i jump in real quick? >> yes, please. >> am i on? hello? okay, well, there you are. i just really want to -- as we start off on the tall building strategy, which is the topic that's up next. i really want to take the time to say this started up in 2017,

mayor yee asked the director of emergency management, the d.b.i. and the public utilities commission to come together and create a tall building strategy for our downtown neighborhood, not just downtown, but our financial district and as we see it, it's merging into mission bay now. as we're thinking of all our tall buildings. it's one of the strategies in our earthquake implementation program. tall buildings was one of the initiatives we would think about after private school evaluations and we worked with the applied technology council to find academics in the world, and engineers who have not touched any of our tall buildings in downtown san francisco, who can give us an objective, thought about how we should think of our

buildings, not just how we survive an earthquake, but how do we make them more resilient because more and more people are living in the downtown neighborhood of san francisco and we need to rethink not only our building codes but our recovery plans and how many engineers we have who are certified to be inspectors and to think through our resilience of downtown san francisco. i really want to thank boma for being an active participant. this tuesday we had mayor breed ask us when we put out the tall building strategy in october, she first and foremost wanted us to outreach to all the stakeholders and to go into other cities to get best practices. boma who has been a great participant with us, thank you for that. there is a lot of great work that came out of this and brian and his team, danielle miller had led the effort and how we're

looking at them short-term, midterm, and long-term, and how we implement those recommendations. >> yeah, thank you very much naomi and thanks. i'm happy to be here, the third time is a charm. i think as i seem to get pushed off the agenda, they had us go first, which is great. naomi covered some information in the first few slides so i can move through it fairly quickly. you should have hand outs and i apologize if you can't see the screen up front. this project was initiate in 2017. it was -- a lot of this was work that we've been thinking about around building performance, but also around downtown is a different part of san francisco. you know, emergency plans and recovery plans in downtown are going to be different than what you're going to see in the sunset district or in other parts of town, clearly because of the infrastructure there and the tall complex buildings and

the impacts they may have. that was a big reason we wanted to do it. we're the only jurisdiction we're aware of in the country and around the world that has looked at tall buildings and earthquake impacts on tall buildings. so, if i move through the presentation here, naomi mentioned the motivation for doing it and then if we talk about our 30 year cap plan and lot of this falls into that area of do we, you know, of enhanced building performance and how we think about it and our existing building stock. it's easier to think of making changes to future buildings, those not under construction, but what do we do about the vast number of buildings constructed in the last 100 years. so we look at these different buildings and map them out and spent a lot of time with a number of engineering students that went to d.b.i. and poured

through 165 different records for tall buildings. these are buildings that are over-240 feet, and this sort of shows graphically where those buildings are. the colored ones in the middle of the map on the left are the tall buildings, the red ones are 240 feet, but then you can see the other ones that are in excess of 75 feet. 75 feet is another important number because that's how the fire department defines tall buildings, and correct me if i'm wrong, i think it's how high a ladder can get from a ladder truck. they can get to 75 feet, but beyond that, the ladders aren't effective. so that's the other marker we're thinking about. if we go to the next slide and we begin to look at -- again, this is focusing on district 3 and 6. you can see the percentages of office and residential buildings that we're having in there. so the lighter colored or the

lighter color in the bottom right corner there, you can see the hotels, mixed use, residential, there are some medical facilities in there and the darker ones, the blue ones, the more traditional, what you have been thinking of office or retail. so originally downtown 20 years ago, during the weekends, it was a ghost town. you can find parking there, it was easy to get around, and now you know that's no longer the case. that's because we have really changed it from being beyond business to residential, but that means those buildings are occupied 24/7, not just 8 hours a day. it has a lot of implications for infrastructure and the types of people living in downtown, and also the impacts on the communities that surround it. chinatown, soma, those communities that have been there. if we go to the next slide, you can see the different types of occupancies i'm talking about. so, primarily the residential

are moving south of market. they're the red buildings. we don't see as many of those in the northern area, closer to north beach. the red ones down below, you are typically in areas where we see a lot of action throughout downtown. you see that shaded on the graphic there. so, that's one of the considerations that we had and san francisco in 2007, i believe, was the one that we actually started implement performance standards for tall buildings. in other words, when you wanted to construct the tall building, you had to verify it with having it being peered reviewed to be verified. we updated those in response to the millennium tower. so that is happening and we actually been leading the way on having this performance standard. those are the buildings we're not so concerned about.

some of the buildings more in the blue area are older, pre-1990 steel frame biddings where we found after north ridge, there were issues with the connectors, the wells. those showed up and there were concerns that we may have similar buildings where there is still a lot of debate, even among the engineering community and how dangerous these buildings are, but there is certainly we want to look at and something we're going to follow up with. if we go to the next slide, we sort of look at some of those structural systems that are in, and i mention this is the greenish one, the steel frame buildings we want to follow up on, and i think i already covered the sheer wall, which the orange ones, it's a mixture of concrete and sheer wall, that we have confidence that those

buildings will perform well. those are our recently constructed buildings. >> what are the building types we discovered after the north ridge quake are problematic? >> yeah, those are the steel moment frame ones. those would be the green ones that are down below. again, there are some questions on how dangerous these buildings really are and there have been some antidotal evidence showing that it may not be so bad but, again it requires more exploration. as we go to the next slide, you look at building foundation. there was a lot of discussion on every building should have peers that go all the way down to the bed right or wrong -- bedrock. there are two buildings that go down to the bedrock. those are the black ones in the middle. we have a lot of other buildings

that are map foundations or map piles, which we expect they will perform very well. so i think that was one of the things they wanted to talk about in the report as well, that you don't have to go down to bedrock, it's not necessarily a result in a better building or performance. so, there are a number of factors they talk about, the depth of rock, like we were saying, the soil type, and you know, whether it's liquified, and the type of soil that's there, building height, the slope of the lot, the adjacent structure, grown water level, we know we're having issues with the water level increasing and sea level rise, that's something we're following as well. we know that there is a lot of de-watering that is happening with a number of buildings in downtown on a regular basis. so, from this analysis we developed a number of

recommendations. there are 16 of them in the report and i won't go through all of them. i'll just mention you know, the mayor's executive directive they focus on what is the more important short-term issues and lot of them are around this regulations for geotechnical issues and they have begun to issue information sheets for their staff, and we expect those to return into administrative bulletins which requires a more lengthy process to implement. a lot of those will be around making sure we have the proper pier reviews and higher design standards. if it's a tall building, maybe it should be beyond code. for most of you, you may not be aware if you build it to the code, that means it will survive after an earthquake. it's not necessarily built to be reoccupied immediately after the earthquake. so there are some discussion, and we seen it at 181 fremont and some other buildings where

they're goingon the code. we're going beyond the code with our city buildings. fire and police buildings are required to go beyond code, but that's another part of the discussion, when would it make sense to go beyond code? certainly part of that is how much did the building shake and you want a little bit of flexibility in the building, so that the structure will stay with it, but if there is too much flex ibilitflexibility, th non-structural component of the building could fail. we have some components that are innovative requiring certain levels of stiffst in -- stiffness in the building. that's something they have been doing in other parts of the world for a little while. finally some of the other executive directive ones. i think this is more to the work that we're doing here at disaster council, around the state safety assessment program

and how we're able to get buildings back up and cleared after an earthquake. that was a part of the decisi decision -- discussion on tuesday, where a lot of folks from different parts of the state around what's the best way to evaluate our buildings. there respect -- aren't a lot of cities that have buildings over 240 feet. you can't take a person that comes from, you know, potentially an engineer from santa monica that's not use to looking at tall buildings and then have them look at our tall buildings. there are questions on how do we make sure we have partnerships that have people to evaluate those buildings. so another big part of it is looking at a downtown recovery plan and recovery framework. i'll go to the next slide here. the reason for this, i think

there are many, thinking of different events that have happened, and the other reason is you think of downtown. we're looking at the tall buildings and we want to understand the context of those tall buildings, where are they sitting in? you can see the red on this scatter plot here shows those buildings that are higher and you can see by age, a fair number of them are relatively new. your building may be perfectly fine, but in the building across from you fails and you had to cordon off that building, then your building may be perfectly functional will not be able to be occupied or used. so there are implement -- implications for the building owners and the neighborhoods around it. we wanted to think of chinatown, soma, mission bay, those areas that are communities where a lot of people live and i should mention, we're also going to look at the demographics of

people in the tall buildings and lot of them are seniors, older people, people with disabilities where the idea of living in a tall building with an elevator is very convenient, but it does pose challenges after an earthquake making sure those elevators function and people can get out and you have rest centers and those things. the last slide i'll end on, we put together this draft recovery task force. you know, we've been talking with seattle with a recovery task force, portland is in the process of creating one, fema has guidance around developing a recovery task force and we started to lay out the outline of what we thought one would look like in san francisco. we have a contract that's out that we will hopefully go into, entering soon to put together this framework and think about how san francisco will approach the recovery of a major earthquake or any other type of

event. it would involve a mixture of public and private, and non-profit people in the leadership roles. it would be looking at a lot of these different recovery support functions the way we have emergency support functions. they wouldn't match one to one, but again when you begin to talk about recovery, it's not something that lasts a short period of time. it can go on 5, 10, 15 years, and some aspects may be done quickly and in two months and other aspects, including housing, it could take several years. so having said that, thank you for your time. i don't know if we -- i think i'm over. i don't think we have time for questions. >> it's okay, anyone with comments or questions, we have time for one or two. >> and i'm available, easy to find afterwards. it's online as well. >> thank you, it was a great event last week, so thanks brian for all your work on it.

are there any members of the public that wish to comment on this item at this time? okay, seeing none, we will move on to number 5 on our mayor directive 1804. also, whoever is speaking or if there are any comments, please remember to use the microphones as we are televising and recording this meeting. heather. >> okay. >> thank you everyone, i'm heather green.

[indiscernible - low volume] >> here's the mic phone. >> thank you. >> no problem. >> i'll be all right, i think. let's see. can you hear me okay? okay, so i'm here to report back on the piece of the mayor's executi executive directive that our office took the lead on working and close collaboration. let me thank the department of emergency management, the department of public health, the mayor's office, our city administrator for making all of this work possible. the piece that i'm talking about is the inventory of locations available for use during future poor air quality and other weather-related events. the directive was issued in the wake of the smoke event that we had last fall, but as director

carol was just saying, we have heat coming to us as well, and those are both important types of events that we need to plan together because the systems that treat them are related, hvac and cooling, and we need to look at these things in tantum. we also heard that smoke is dangerous and smoke affects us, but it's heat that is an acute risk in the short-term. we want to be mindful of where the real, most pressing risks are. the work that we did in our office was delivered through the heavy lift of four fellows who i want to thank and name. that would be -- thanks to their data lift, we were able to

consolidate the data we have from three different sources of the city, our emergency shelter list, our facilities resource and renewal model that we use, and our facility system of record to get a handle on all the buildings that were even conceivably possible, so we didn't leave any stone unturned. that gave us 765 buildings, a lot, too much to process, so we put some common sense screens to get a shorter list. we excluded private buildings for the short-term, which we have on our shelter list to take a first pass on public buildings, excluded things that have an unfit use, so things like our fire station and police station where we would not want people congregating, like our health clinics, and those things don't make sense to send people there. two small buildings, buildings

that were less than 900 square feet, just to draw a line to exclude the stand alone restrooms and small properties that we have in those systems. then we excluded those with no hvac systems whatsoever, so that's something we were able to capture through our renewal models. many of our buildings have nothing, and certainly not the mechanized ventilation that we know we need. now wet go to less than 10%, 143 buildings. the next follow up, thank you to all the departments on this slide and more as well. you know, we ask that the fellows asked out and asked the facility subject matters, and these departments to get to the answer as fast as possible. we could do an engineer's review of every building of the 143 buildings, but our building

manages know which ones are best set up for the work that a rest bit center would need to do. we're trying to move as fast as possible, we are trying to get a handses -- handle on what the best next step would be. thank you to everyone that contributed. there is a list that emerged of buildings that are ready today to serve, if activated with the proper protocols for cooling and/or cleaner air. so you'll see that. while i'm here, the cleaner air, and in this column. sorry, my kid had some doctor issues this morning so i'm on call. the list for cleaner air, ready facility is smaller than the cooling set. we know that we have work
