that have limited income and working with the businesses as well. i think it is, you know, we are still dealing with many property owners who have had properties for a long time, particularly in the commercial corridors that are still adjusting that they have a responsibility to comply, and i feel this ordinance as challenging as it has been, we need to remember that obligation is currently there both for the property owner and the accidents that occupies the space so we get the compliance done so legal liability is removed. just wanted to say that. in terms of i want to caution on

that this requirement could be something that helps keep a property vacant. if a property owner is not going to be leasing right away or keeping it off, this is the perfect time to make the remediation. i would encourage that message be given. it obviously makes their property a little more attractive. just in terms of that messaging. i am happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> thank you very much for coming out. >> no other public comment. we need to have a motion on this item. is there a vote on the item?

disapprove the extension. >> i think it is really your choice. we wanted to bring it to your attention so that you could take action on it if you want to support the idea be hired the additional time or you can wait until in january when we will be going through the regular hearing process on this, and then we will bring it back at that time. >> thank you. based on the fact it tells them, you know, out there right now i support the bill to extend the timeframe. if you want a motion that we do support an extension. >> i would support it. there is a lot of buzz. the department should keep going forward and do the outreach and encourage the property owners and shopkeepers to submit the checklist so we know what is

going on. >> if somebody would make a motion. >> i will make a motion and i will support it. >> second? >> second. >> i will do a roll call vote.

we're going to introduce and recognize all of them during our short program, but i'm so honored to introduce someone who has kept her eye on this playground for many years. as district supervisor and now as mayor, she is our park champion and chief. our kids do not need an advocate, because they've got mayor london breed. >> mayor breed: thank you so much, phil. let me tell you, i can't be more happy than to be here today. i remember a couple years ago when we cut the ribbon on the new basketball courts and there were conversations going on and on and on about the playground and the next to do something better. the parents who bring their kids here on a regular basis reflects what we see here today. as much as i love.

i grew up in sands, so i'm a big fan, but the fact is these kids are going to have a great time. we are so lucky in san francisco that we have so many people in this community that are so generous and we're actively engaged to shape what this playground looks like right now. we have amazing contributors who have invested so much money into supporting and making this happen. our incredible partner, the parks alliance, thank you so much for your continued alliance

i don't know if anybody has done it yet, but i want to go and slide down that slide. it looks so fun. i have to say that the city is like a tanker in ice. every time we try to do something, it takes that long. this is something that went fast because of community support, because we had private people coming in and saying let's make this work, and we can turn faster than a tanker in ice. thank you, everyone, thank you, mayor breed, and let's play. >> supervisor brown said it perfectly, let's play. the mayor has keys to the city and gives proclamations at the board and we give away park signs to true park champions. thank you for all of your incredible support.

playgrounds across the city. our goal is to raise $14 million, so we have a little bit more to go in order to make this playground and close out this program and have the most equity-focused playground initiative in this country called "let's play s.f.." let's make sure you visit "let's play s.f.." make sure you are part of this movement to bringing this movement to 20,000 kids across this city. it's about making parts a part of each and every community. parks are part of the big puzzle, about keeping the parks part of our story. we need to move neighborhoods forward building parks. thanks for being a part of this movement and let's play. thank you so much.

looked at the preschools for work and realized none of the preschools have outdoor spaces or if they did, it was tiny. so steppingstones uses the community for their playground. what a resource to have playgrounds like these. this is an amazing playground just for the preschoolers, but also now that i'm a mom, for communities like this for playgrounds that inspire community and imagination. we were just here in april for the ground breaking, and now it's november and it's incredible. thank you so much, everyone. [ cheering and applause ]. >> before we do our first slide with our steppingstones preschoolers and supervisor brown, we have some gratitude. i need to do some closing acknowledgements. we have a lot of gratitude for all of our supporters.

[agenda item read]. >> president yee: supervisor mar? >> supervisor mar: thank you, president yee. this resolution declares a state of emergency to rapidly expand the city's emergency firefighting water system to ensure that all neighborhoods are protected in the event of a catastrophic fire following a major earthquake. the resolution encourages the

city to create an affirmative action plan, including to expand the city's high pressure water lines to all unprotected neighborhoods within 15 years. so complete a study for add -- to complete a study for adding a new salt water firefighting plant on the north side of the city, to create interim protections within three years by increasing the emergency firefighting capacity in all neighborhoods currently unprotected by high pressure pipelines, and finally to strengthen public oversight and accountability by requiring an annual report to be presented to the board of supervisors on the status of the emergency firefighter water systems preparedness for a major earthquake and fire. this fall, residents in our city and throughout the bay area have been reminded of the importance of emergency preparedness as we experienced yet another devastating fire

season in the north bay plus a series of unsettling earthquakes throughout the region, and the 30th anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake in our area. since then, our city has taken steps, including the side mistake retrofitting of buildings, and nert, our neighborhood emergency response teams. however, one area that has not been adequately addressed is the threat of wide spring fires after a devastating earthquake. the even more devastating 1906 san francisco earthquake caused 86 deaths and fires following the earthquake. in 1906, the city took the step of building an emergency water system for firefighting

separate from our water system. that includes 135 miles of high pressure pipelines and two salt water pumping stations. this system is designed to furnish large amounts of water for firefighting purposes and establishes reliability in the event of an earthquake. unfortunately, one part of the city is not protected by the firefighting system. most of the neighborhoods on the west side and southeast districts remain unprotected in our vulnerable to widespread fires and property damage following a major earthquake, and san francisco remains one of the most vulnerable cities in the world and certainly in the united states from i'd spread destruction resulting from an earthquake and fire.

the usgs also warns that the pace of larger earthquakes is likely to increase due to geologic geological reasons, so the resolution we're urging today is to bring attention to the urgent issues here in our stay. i want to thank my legislative aide allen wong, and the nanny neighborhood lead -- many neighborhood leaders in the sunset who have provided input. i'd also like to thank the fire department, police department, and office of resilience planningt planning for working with us and the steps that you take to make sure that residents will be protected from catastrophic earthquake fires. finally, i'm proposing a set of

nonresolution amendments that have been reviewed by deputy city attorney givner. the first amendment specifies that the annual firefighting report on the emergency system shall be due on january 1 of each year, and the second by june 30, 2021. colleagues, i thank you for your support on this resolution. >> president yee: okay. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: do we need to take -- mr. president, do we need to take the amendments first or should we -- >> president yee: do you want to make comments? >> supervisor safai: yeah, i do. >> president yee: okay. go ahead. >> supervisor safai: okay. thank you. so first, i want to thank supervisor mar for leading the charge on this. this has also been a certain of mine. i appreciate the calling out that we were able to get five,

four in the budget, one additional through the state. i think that it's important to underscore that there are certain areas of the city that will not certainly have the same amount of underground infrastructure after the 1906 earthquake. it makes sense when areas that have more of the city burned down, they make that decision. i've had subsequent conversations with the p.u.c. to talk about how we can accelerate some of the studies and look at how and when we would underground the additional infrastructure in some of the parts of my district as well as lower part of your district. i think we would share that, along with president yee's district. this is a big concern, particularly in the environment that we're in today, and so i want to ensure that the study

that comes out talks aggressively about, as you say, through the equity lens, how those areas that are not served by emergency infrastructure for water system is not served and this is a priority. also want to recognize budget chair and how she was able to push the conversation through the bond process and ensuring that this is also a priority for all parts of san francisco. so we're going to continue to move aggressively. i look forward to continue to worki working hand in hand aggressively with you to ensure that san francisco moves forward on this. >> president yee: so is there any further conversation?

without objection, then, we'll accept the amendments.
