compliance and haven't filed paperwork, and here are the remaining pool of cases and of them by size, you know, here are the very challenging small units that, you know, maybe what we are really trying to do is create some opportunities for extensions for the ones with the most challenging situations, and not have any give on ones that are just too lazy to submit the paperwork. they are different problems. for us to deal with these tandem issues of need, you know, i

really would encourage the department to really try to devote some new resources into drilling down on the data so that, you know, we are really providing the legislators as much information as we can so that the recommendations and new legislation that they put forward is that balance of these very, very challenging and difficult situations. i would encourage you to try to find some more resources for that. >> thank you. i will definitely do that. >> commissioner lee, please. >> bill, so we have of the 11,000 that submitted the checklist to us, we don't have an idea right now how many are in the category one or two, three, four?

>> that is in the weekly report but the numbers are quite small because it adds up to 3,000. >> what percentage is category one? i am curious. >> i don't know the breakdown on the percentage. >> i am guessing many accident business -- businesses are in category one. maybe to manage this program, maybe we should start getting people to say submit your checklist. if you are in category one submit the checklist and you are done. >> we have had multiple communications and we have been helped out by boma whose members are in that particular category re. it is still a fairly tepid

response. >> there are more out there. i have been asked about this abe program, and walking down commercial street in my neighborhood, i can tell that the businesses have heard about it. they are installing the automatic door openers because they have to comply. there is more buzz out there. i am thinking many of the businesses are in compliance or one step away. we need to encourage people to submit. >> we will double up our effort to reach out to that already compliant category. that will definitely shrink the universe. when we get a better understand how many are infeasible, then we will know what is the compliant

sweet spot to get to, so to speak. >> there also may be an element of the vacant storefront issue in this as well. >> there definitely is. >> trying to understand how m.r.i. own this building somebody is going to do major renovation when i went it to them, therefore i am not changing it right now. >> or reluck tans of the tenant to sign the lease. >> exactly. highlighting those for the benefit of the legislators so they can either give incentives for owners who have vacant storefronts to make the property compliance ready or new tent. >> we really have the knowledge of where these things are and how big an impact we can have by

chiseling out each element of it. i think we are going to be more successful an. >> thank you. >> public comment on this item? >> thank you director of the office of small business. i was just observing the conversation. i want to thank the department odepartmentof building inspectir staff. they are amazing. this is not easy. our office works very closely, particularly with tom. i want to reiterate we have the disability access fund, which we are working with small businesses, and we do work with small property owners who are financially challenged in achieving access. that is from in helping the

property owners comply for those 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? >> no, i don't believe so. it was informational. >> i believe the ordinance has been introduced. you can remember or not -- you can recommend. it is a mixed decision if they want to memorialize that. it has been heard and considered to move forward. >> we didn't get any information other than being updated by bill. we are not here to prove or

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. (roll call). >> thank you. that motion carries manley. eye -- carries unanimously. >> item 9. director's report. update on d.b.i.'s finances. >> good afternoon department at the director. before you is the october 2019 financial report. it includes revenues for july through october. on venues we are about equal to same time last year.

make it more stringent or less. >> i understand that he is expanding the a.d.u. base to be less stringent. i don't know if our own board of supervisors is fully on board about that. i did hear some questions raised and they were talking to assembly man king about it. i don't know where that is now. >> in our city we are dense and homes are packed next to each other, not like the suburbs. >> i understand it could raise immediate questions. >> let's keep an eye on that one. >> item 9c. update on major projects. >> good afternoon. department of building inspection. as you can see, the construction costs go down 5%. any questions?

did you know that many buildings in san francisco are not bolted to the foundation on today's episode we'll learn how the option to bolt our foundation in an earthquake. >> hi, everybody welcome to another episode of stay safe i'm

the director of earthquake safety in the city and county of san francisco i'm joined by a friend matt. >> thank you thanks for being with us we're in a garage but at the el cap center south of market in san francisco what we've done a simulated the garage to show you what it is like to make the improvements and reduce the reflexes of earthquake we're looking at foundation bolts what do they do. >> the foundation bolts are one of the strengthening system they hold the lowest piece of wood onto the foundation that prevents the allows from sliding during an earthquake that is a bolt over the original construction and these are typically put in along the foundation to secure the house to the foundation one of the

things we'll show you many types of bolts let's go outside and show the vufrdz we're outside the epic center in downtown san francisco we'll show 3 different types of bolts we have a e poxy anchor. >> it is a type of anchor that is adhesive and this is a rod we'll embed both the awe hey that embeds it into the foundation that will flip over a big square washer so it secured the mud sell to the foundation we'll need to big drill luckily we have peter from the company that will help us drill the first hole. >> so, now we have the hole

drilled i'll stick the bolt in and e post-office box it. >> that wouldn't be a bad idea but the dust will prevent the e post-office box from bonding we need to clean the hole out first. >> so, now we have properly cleaned hole what's the next step. >> the next step to use e post-office box 2 consultants that mixes this together and get them into tubes and put a notice he will into the hole and put the e post-office box slowly and have a hole with e post-office box. >> now it is important to worm or remember when you bolt our own foundation you have to go to 9 department of building

inspection and get a permit before you start what should we look at next what i did next bolt. >> a couple of anchors that expand and we can try to next that will take a hole that hole is drilled slightly larger marathon the anchor size for the e post-office box to flow around the anchor and at expansion is going into the hole the same dinning room we'll switch tamet so, now we have the second hole drilled what next. >> this is the anchor and this

one has hard and steel threads that cuts their way into the concrete it is a ti ton anchor with the same large square so similar this didn't require e post-office box. >> that's correct you don't needed for the e post-office box to adhere overnight it will stick more easily. >> and so, now it is good to go is that it. >> that's it. >> the third anchor is a universal foundation plate when you don't have room above our foundation to drill from the

top. >> so, now we have our foundation plate and the tightened screw a couple of ways to take care of a foundation what's the best. >> the best one depends on what your house is like and our contractors experience they're sometimes considered the cadillac anchor and triplely instead of not witting for the e

post-office box this is essentially to use when you don't have the overhead for the foundation it really depends on the contractor and engineering what they prefer. >> talking to a qualified professional and see what .>> good afternoon, everyone. hi, there. [applause] so my name is jackie flin, i'm the executive director of the a. philip randolph institute, san francisco. i want to thank everyone for taking the time to gather with us as we prepare for the thanksgiving holiday. thanksgiving is a time when families reflect on the hard work and sacrifices made throughout the year. traditionally we celebrate a harvest, one nurtured by our

elders, gathered by hard working parents and gathered by people who care. all year we make sacrifices so our children can play, learn, grow grow, and this thursday, enjoy the feast. in san francisco, we are putting families first. i'm humbled to lead an effort in leading the largest turkey giveaway in san francisco in which 5,500 families in need will receive a turkey. [applause] >> i'm honored, supporting the citying across the city. it's an honor to introduce someone who works tirelessly. she's creating a city where no families and no children are forgotten or left behind. she's realizing the dream of the city with opportunities for all families to thrive. please welcome the mayor of the city and county of san

francisco, mayor london breed. [applause] >> hello! i love coming here. every time i go here, i get more and more excited. i'm excited about this community and all the amazing things that continue to happen here. and i want to start by thanking a. philip randolph institute for all their incredible work. [applause] thank you. and also a special thank you to the folks at bayview station and all the officers. [applause] our police chief bill scott is here. our fire chief, jeanine nicholson is here. and let me tell you, it does take a village. i know we got today is really about giving.

and let me just tell you, it is really a blessing to be a blessing. and i know that in so many ways, we are going to be handing out turkeys here, thanks to foster farms and whole foods, but we also know that many of you who are cooking those turkeys are going to be sharing them with your family members and neighbors and friends. [applause] so i want to take this time to acknowledge and thank the folks who are here volunteering. your supervisor watson is here as well. [applause] but i also need to pause and explain to all of you why the mayors of san jose and oakland are in the house. [applause] let me explain. see, what had happened was we had a bet and a couple months ago, we had a bet, first it started as the battle of the bay, we are battling for the bay.

to clean up the bay, to clean up our city, to love our cities, to show love and respect to our community. and let me tell you, first the bet was between me and oakland mayor libby schaaf. [applause] and then at the last minute, mayor liccardo was like hold on, i want a piece of that. so he joined in. [applause] but guess who won, san francisco. [applause] but let me explain, mayors. let me tell you. we had not only the most volunteers, we had the most volunteers from the bayview hunters point community in the city's history. the bayview showed up and showed out. that we have more volunteers but oakland collected more trash.

so they won in the trash collection, because we couldn't find stuff to pick up. [applause] we cleaned up our city. but the fact is, let me explain, let me explain, mayor, let me explain. the fact is we are all one bay area. we are all one community. we work as partners to address some of the most challenging issues that you all know we face around homelessness, around housing affordability, and we know that the only way that we are going to get to a better place is not if we work in isolation but if we come together. and this was an opportunity to come together and have a little fun. [applause] so i'm wearing my giants, even though they was losing and

stuff. i still love them. i still love them. i'm a giants fan. i still rep, even when they losing. i'm going to still rep the warriors even when they losing. we share the warriors. but them niners though. [applause] so just -- i am just -- let me tell you, and i'm going to let our mayors have a chance to say a few words, but i'm so happy to be here. i feel the love. i feel the energy. i feel the excitement. and that's what makes this an incredible community. you all make this an incredible community. and as we continue to address some of the challenges, we are here to make better decisions so that future generations who grew up in what we know followed the conditions that existed when we were younger or when you were at

the old one, we can't let that continue to happen in our city. and that's why we're changing things for the better. [applause] yes. you all know i'm from o. c., but i love double rock, i love hunters point, i love this city. and my plan is to continue to work with you all to make it a better place for all of us to grow and to thrive and to be safe and to prosper. so with that, i want to turn the mic over to the mayor from oakland who is going to talk a lot of mess. oakland mayor sam. [applause] >> thanksgiving. i can't talk mess on thanksgiving. no, i'm not putting that on. [laughter] >> [off mic] >> to come together.

>> maybe at the end i'll put it on. all right. you know, like london was born and raised in san francisco, i was born and raised in oakland. [applause] we say in our house, we never ate blueberry muffins, we only ate vita blueberry muffins. that's why the battle for the bay was a reminder to everyone that, you know, the environment doesn't care whether it's in san francisco or san jose or oakland, right? it doesn't care. we have to work together to take care of our precious resources. and that's why, really, everybody was a winner in the battle for the bay. because we got together like 6400 volunteers in one day in our three cities, caring for our environment.

[applause] now, the reason i'm not putting on that janky orange hat. >> you may not make it out of -- [off mic] [laughter] >> like i said, the reason i am not putting on that janky orange hat. [jeers] is because while san francisco had more volunteers, oakland picked up so much trash, literally more than 109,000 pounds of trash. [applause] it was more tonnage than these two cities combined, okay? okay. now, and sam said, oh, you must have dumped out the dumpsters.

i said i wish that were true. we actually had that much trash to pick up. but here we are in thanksgiving. and this was a fun bet because part of the bet from the beginning is that the three of us are going to be going to each other's cities, and i look forward to seeing you in my city and yes, you are going to wear that orange hat, but we are going to be volunteering together around issues that matter to all of us. because poverty does not care about municipal boundaries. income inequality, homelessness, housing insecurity, housing shortages, they don't care about what city you're in. we know that just like challenges don't stay confined to municipal boundaries, neither do solutions. and that is why the three of us -- here, hold my hand.

hold it. [applause] we are here to work together. together. all right? and this beautiful region of the bay area is going to have some opportunities to start thinking of ourselves as a united family. the holidays are a time when we think about family. and it's our job to make sure that you feel like you are a member of my family. all right? [applause] [laughter] [cheering] >> all right. [cheering]

>> all right. i'm going to step away from this microphone. so that bay area, we are one bay area. we have to see every person here as a member of our family. and we are going to be working together more and more and more to make sure that the bay area sees its own family and that we take care of our family members a little better than we've been doing. all right, with that, happy thanksgiving. thank you for having me here. [applause] >> for the sake of unity. i got the hat on, okay? you all, don't post me with this hat on. [laughter] don't hashtag me nothing, right? you all got my back, right? okay. so like i said, now mayor liccardo came in last minute. i would have never did that

because i would have known that i was going to lose. and if he didn't bring in hardly any volunteers, hardly any trash but i got to give it to him. he said he jumped in there like less than two weeks, i think, and pulled some stuff together. and then he not only came with me here to hand out turkeys, we hit two other locations before we even got here, so, ladies and gentlemen, san jose mayor, sam liccardo. >> thank you, mayor breed. well, thank you all and happy thanksgiving, everybody. mayor breed, you are absolutely right. this is an incredible community. and thank you all for welcoming me so warmly. i appreciate it. [applause] yes. you know, it wasn't like this all the way. the first place we stopped at, the occur turkeys were late coming in and they were all looking at me. and they were looking at me

saying hey, the turkeys are late. and i thought they were talking about the politicians. [laughter] but in fact the turkeys really were late. so i just wanted to say i'm a lot happier to be here because the turkeys are here. it is great to be with all of you. i love coming to san francisco. and i really appreciate both my -- >> [off mic] >> thank you very much. thank you. [applause] i appreciate what both my colleagues have said about the fact that we need to work together. around affordable housing, transportation challenges, deal with poverty, all the challenges we know we face, together. i will point out, however, that mayor breed, although we got in late, we did get more than 1300 volunteers out there. [applause] so you can be sure that next year, we will be ready. and i'll have the sharks jerseys

ready for both of you. [cheering] thank you all, happy thanksgiving. >> all right. ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, before we -- oh, we got a couple more speakers. all right. okay. so the turkeys need to thaw anyways. we got plenty of time. ladies and gentlemen, your viewership virus walton. >> happy holidays -- your supervisor walton. >> happy holidays. i want to thank you for your work on getting volunteers out. for the environmental cleanup day. [applause] and i am glad that mayor schaaf said they picked up more trash in oakland because you know how hard we have all been working to decrease trash, specifically here in bayview.

we got a long way to go but i think this means we are starting to get some things together, because there's less trash on our streets. we did a response from d.p.w., we get a response from ecology. long way to go, working on legislation to address illegal dumps, but we are going to do everything we can to make public housing the place to be in san francisco. [applause] >> i know we've had some real tough conversations around parking here. to make sure our safety, to make sure our communities are safe. we are working on a plan with sfmta to increase more parking off the property while we continue to work towards other solutions. we are hard at work for this community every day because we love you. you all know i live right around the corner. i see you every single day. so that's not going to change. but when is the last time we had three mayors come and hang out

on double rock? [applause] so there will be no isolation, we will be working together to make sure the heaviest comes to our cities and community and of course our focus in district ten. i love all of you, happy thanksgiving, thank you so much for showing up. a wonderful community. it is very important. [applause] one last thing, i'm sorry, mayor. a lot of you showed up at rules committee last week, because you know the mayor and i and my colleagues, we are pushing preference legislation so that folks who used to live in all our hope sf housing communities get to come back home. they get to come back home. [applause] so as we continue to revitalize, continue to rebuild, brand new housing, some of your family members, some of my family members that have been pushed out of the city will get to come back and live at home in the community. so i want to thank the mayor,

most of my colleagues for helping to make that happen. [applause] and all of you. >> all right. the president of your tenants association. come on up! [cheering] >> she's like a cheerleader back here like go, go, go. >> i don't know how you feel but i feel so blessed. thank you. this is a great event. we have three mayors coming out to our community. and thank you so much, mayor london breed. thank you all of you, for sticking together. thank you officers, thank you so much. to god be the glory. amen. [applause] >> all right. i'm feeling the love in this place today. can i get an amen?

>> amen >> that's right. okay. now as we think about the holiday season, let us remember one another in this community. we are one community. we are one city. and it is our responsibility to do a better job of taking care of one another. that's what creates a better community. so during this holiday season, when you know if there is a senior who may not be able to cook, make sure you look out for the seniors. make sure you bring them a plate or do something nice to support your neighbors, because that's what having an amazing community is about. my grandmother who raised me passed away in 2016. and i would do anything to spend this thanksgiving with her. and so when i spend time with the community, it makes me feel really connected to what she used to do when we grew up in plaza east, o. c. and ms. brown, we didn't have much. we had that free food are coming

in the white box and the government cheese. the macaroni and cheese and everything. and let me tell you, people would not knock on the door. and i'm like mama, we don't have that much. and she would give food to people, and she said so what, girl, you big enough. here, share. [laughter] let's share, let's come together, let's remember why the holidays are important. it's about community, it's about family, it's about love, and it's about being a blessing. so thank you all so much. let's get these turkeys handed out. [cheering] >> so thank you, everyone. just a few more thank yous before we get out of here. to our san francisco housing authority, we couldn't do this without you guys. thank you tonya. [applause] i also want to thank bill of our california poultry association that worked with foster farms to

include an additional donation. and last but not least, our rec and park department for also helping the distribution of the 5,000 turkeys across the city. so why don't we go ahead and move out the way and let our residents come on in and get these turkeys. thank you. [applause] ... >> hello everyone. welcome to the bayview bistro. >> it is just time to bring the

community together by deliciou deliciousness. i am excited to be here today because nothing brings the community together like food. having amazing food options for and by the people of this community is critical to the success, the long-term success and stability of the bayview-hunters point community. >> i am nima romney.

this is a mobile cafe. we do soul food with a latin twist. i wanted to open a truck to son nor the soul food, my african heritage as well as mylas continuas my latindescent. >> i have been at this for 15 years. i have been cooking all my life pretty much, you know. i like cooking ribs, chicken, links. my favorite is oysters on the grill. >> i am the owner. it all started with banana pudding, the mother of them all. now what i do is take on traditional desserts and pair them with pudding so that is my

ultimate goal of the business. >> our goal with the bayview bristow is to bring in businesses so they can really use this as a launching off point to grow as a single business. we want to use this as the opportunity to support business owners of color and those who have contributed a lot to the community and are looking for opportunities to grow their business. >> these are the things that the san francisco public utilities commission is doing. they are doing it because they feel they have a responsibility to san franciscans and to people in this community. >> i had a grandmother who lived in bayview. she never moved, never wavered. it was a house of security answer entity where we went for holidays. i was a part of bayview most of my life. i can't remember not being a

part of bayview. >> i have been here for several years. this space used to be unoccupied. it was used as a dump. to repurpose it for something like this with the bistro to give an opportunity for the local vendors and food people to come out and showcase their work. that is a great way to give back to the community. >> this is a great example of a public-private community partnership. they have been supporting this including the san francisco public utilities commission and mayor's office of workforce department. >> working with the joint venture partners we got resources for the space, that the businesses were able to thrive because of all of the opportunities on the way to this community. >> bayview has changed.

it is growing. a lot of things is different from when i was a kid. you have the t train. you have a lot of new business. i am looking forward to being a business owner in my neighborhood. >> i love my city. you know, i went to city college and fourth and mission in san francisco under the chefs ria, marlene and betsy. they are proud of me. i don't want to leave them out of the journey. everyone works hard. they are very supportive and passionate about what they do, and they all have one goal in mind for the bayview to survive. >> all right. it is time to eat, people.

>> i want to welcome you all to the salvation army light center for the annual turkey carving event. and we are so glad that you are here today. because we didn't want to have to carve all this turkey by ourselves. it's always better when there's many hands. thank you so much. and i want to introduce our divisional leaders, captain matthew mattson, the salvation army state divisional leader from our headquarters downtown. [applause] >> good morning, folks. it's great to have you here on this wonderful occasion. this was a thank, it really is a season of thanks and we have much tore thankful for. i want -- to be thankful for. i want to thank the metro advisory board and advisory

[applause] all right, now it's my responsibility to tell you exactly what we are serving. so tomorrow this is going to be the thanksgiving dinner that we are preparing. roasted turkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, beans, cranberry sauce, a lovely juice box, some fruit cups. you can't go wrong with grandmother's cookies. hot cocoa mix and hot apple cider. the reason why we are doing it is continuity of service. this is the 60th anniversary of

the salvation army's participation in serving our seniors. i've met people that this is their fourth generation. they are teaching their great grandchildren. and that's the continuity of care that our city and everyone has for one another, that when we can, we serve. so we are welcoming you here. the captain is going to come and give a brief announcement of the holidays activity he's going to do. and then we are going to have the courtesy of introducing our civic leaders. for this army of ammunition is love and compassion. that's what we do. that's what we are here to do without discrimination. we love people and we serve them. and in order to do a lot of things we do, it does take money. you'll notice we have a lot of red kettles. we ask you when you step by, put some money in there. we have a new online giving thing, you put your phone up there, check it out.

there's celebrity bell ringing event is going to be at macy's on december 6, between 12 and 3. it's going to be a lot of fun. if you want to volunteer, ring for change.com. you can find a place that's in your neighborhood and you can support the salvation army right where you are at and that money stays there to serve the people. thanks again.

didn't have to spend time doing it. so thank you. [applause] i want to also thank the people who are going to be delivering these hot meals tomorrow during the holidays. again, we are really appreciative to be here. we know that it is a blessing to be a blessing to others. and that's what san francisco does best when people meet us, we roll up our sleeves, we come together and we make magic happen. so thank you for making magic happen for so many people in san francisco today.
