sorry i'm just getting the right document pulled up and my computer is making it hard on me. i apologize, one moment. all right here we g good morning, commissioners, i have a few topics i want to go through. the first is the grants ruling, i wanted to give you you an update and how it affects city and public works. as you know a federal injunction was in place restricting how san francisco can clear incampments. a portion was lated in late july in response bit u.s. supreme court. that portion concerned when san francisco can site or arrest

somebody for violating our ordinances about sleeping or erecting tents in public. what has not changed since the grant's past ruling is our bag and tag policy which pertains to the storage and disposal of people's belongings. the policy continues to be litigated in the federal court and the city remains under injunction with the paper bag bahing and tag policy. while san francisco continues to conduct encampments operations by offering shelter and service to see those on the street. the city is now better able to enforce laws when refusal of shelters occur. this includes being able to follow-up to a later time to an area that has recently been cleared to precleared encampment. to address smaller encampments. the goal of these engagement is

to prevent reand to prevent small incampments from become larger ones. police department conduct regular to identify any encampment and then work with our staff to clean them. all right, next up is dream force. tomorrow kicks off dream force. the annual global tech conference that is expect today draw 45,000 participants. this is a major event, not just for the tens of millions of dollars that will be pumped into the economy into the short-term but for the city's post pandemic recovery. a successful kfrntion will build on contract attracting more visitors and conventions which bolt sters the local economy. weighs do for all major events we have a de tail operations plan to maintain a public environment. we will have cruise from our environmental services out

enforce keeping streets clean and abated. i do want to emphasize, this is work we do everyday whether or not there is a conference but we do want to make sure that there is some deployed and dream force runs through thursday. commissioners i want today tell you about a ribbon cutting we held in the outer richmond for a set of new solar po watered safety beacons that were installed with the skills trade workers and our engineers. the beacons aim to bolster pedestrian safety. the new formerly known as rectangular flashing beacons and can be activated by the push of a button by any pedestrian want to go cross the busy boulevard. once turned on the flashing rights. this is a collaborative project

with public works and sfmta. several are involved in this vital efforts including our disability access coordination and engineering and from our operation side, carpenter and cement mason help with the installation work. under this initiative, public works installed the first safety beacon earlier this year at the diamond heights neighborhood. the outer richmond marked the second. the next flashing beacon is set to installed at beacon and bolt on near the university of san francisco. last deputy director al degraph participated in a press conference with 311 to announce the expansion of language access at the 311 customer service center. with the app now available in chinese, spanish and filipino,

no longer just english. it's vital to the work that we do on behalf of the people of san francisco, in fact public works receives more 311 service requests than any other department, accounting for one-third of all requests. last year we received 378,285 service request through the 311 system. that's almost 38 requests an hour or one every two minutes everyday of the year. i want to take this opportunity to encourage members to use 311, it does make a difference. this marks the beginning of mexican heritage month. the heritage month committee has packed number of events. this year's theme is honoring and recognizing lat i can x contributions to the sciences

which i'm particularly interested to learn more about. in addition to a great variety of events, the heritage team will be sending out emails that highlight and explain some of the most scientific cxz of the latinx community. i want to give a huge thank you to the entire heritage planning committee for their work to organize and promote all of these exciting events. it's great seeing none gather and seeing the diversity that makes our department so strong. and last up, a reminder that our next beautification day, cleaning workday will take place in the debut and other neighborhoods, this saturday september 21. this is a great opportunity to beautify and meet neighbors and give back to the community. the kickoff is at 9:00 am, at 1601 armstrong avenue.

more information can be found on our website at sf gov.org, i hope maybe you can join us and that wraps up today's report. thank you. >> thank you, does any--do any commissioners have any questions? no? thank you, guys. oh okay, go ahead. >> director short, i just have a question, on all the events that happened. so when the resources being pulled to this particular area, what happened to some of the hotspots around surrounding areas like south of market? union squai, tenderloin, especially i do see some big drops in some of these things that has been happening. so i'm just curious? >> generally, we try not to pull from those areas because we know those are hotspots and

so in fact, particularly we're trying to have a strong cleaning presence both south of market and union square and mosconi area. so generally, if we are pulling resources for an event like this, we'll try to do like an early morning, everybody comes through and tries to help and then they go back to their other areas and we're generally pulling from some of the less impacted neighborhood commercial corridor areas where we have staff working. so it's, we do not pull resources from the most challenging areas to keep clean and we try to, redeployed from areas that missing a day or two is not going to have too much p an inpact on their cleanliness. >> i'm just bringing it because

smft usual folks in the area, is no longer there for the entire week. i just want to know what replaced that. and about the encampment, i know we've been doing really great job, it's pretty amazing. so my question is there is always no answers. once this encampment being cleaned and then they come back within minutes and there is nobody there to enforce this rules. then they're back there and the resources, so is there strict regulations or can enforcement be there? so they're not coming back? instead of us wasting three times a day cleaning the same encampments? >> we have our healthy streets operation center initiative, we have been focused on returning

to areas once thaifn cleared. if somebody is not sited and they leave the area, it's hard to prevent them after they come back. the effort, the healthy streets operation center is really focusing on trying to go back more consistently and more quickly to areas where we've had a resent resolution. the other thing, as i mentioned in my report, the district stations are working much more with our crews than previously to try to help support those efforts. so if an area has been cleared, the district stations are trying to keep an eye on it and we try to go with them to prevent that. but, that's, that's the best we can do to try to address those

challenging spots. we have had some success in some areas but there are, some areas that remain very difficult to address. >> is this something that we have to work closely with ambassador, programs or something like that that some of these hotspots get a little bit enforcement? so it's clean or? >> we have worked, we always try to work with a serious of partners and there has been some reemployment to try to prevent people from reestablishing once we've cleared an area, so there is that coordination happening that's also helping with the healthy streets operation initiative so. they're coordinating those ambassadors as well as all the city agencies that are involved with any kind of encampment resolution.

>> thank you. >> to kind of follow-up with that healthy streets. i know we're trying to get people under shelters, do you know if there is room in shelters for people to even go to right now? >> it, there are, there is room in shelters, the healthy streets operation center continues to offer shelter as we resolve areas and they typically are have a number of beds that are held for their availability as they're doing this work. so, from the updates that i've been getting, their offers of shelters are being made when they are doing their work and there are beds available. >> awesome, that's great to hear. that's been a challenge in the past. : anybody else have any other questions? no? all right, well thank you for your report. >> thank you.

mr. fuller, please open to public comment. >> members of the public who wish to make three minutes of comment in-person on item 2, the communications and director's office *t report you may line up along the wall next to the door. if you're commenting on webinar, press star-3 to be recognized. and we do not have any in-person commenters and there are no callers on the line, currently for this item. so that concludes public comment. >> great. again, just checking no further discussion? correct? all right, awesome. so hearing no further discussion, secretary fuller please call the next item. >> item 3 is the minutes from

[gavel] secretary fuller post the minutes to the commission website. please call the next item. >> item 4 is the bureau of

building street--participate, the bureau of building and street repair performance measure report and mara is here to present this report and this is an informational item. >> good morning, commissioners, director short, city attorney taylor and mr. fuller, my name is mora wayne. and today i have jeff soria the assistant superintendent and jacob nicole the accounting superintendent of street repair will help with the data presentation. so i'll reach out to jeff to present the building repair information. thank you. >> thank you, mar. good morning, jeffery soria for assistant superintendent for

building repair. for the first dashboard we have for total request received by year and shop in fiscal year 2024 we do show a slight reduction off our four-year average. but subsequent to the report coming out, we definitely have seen a uptick in request for our services. so our the request for our services is definitely strong even with the, with the chart showing the slight reduction. for corrective and project order by shop. this chart usually stays pretty consistent with plumbing and lock being two of our busiest shops just because of the volume of service requests that they get across all city agencies for their services. paint glass carpenter

electrical sheet metal, shows shops show a mix of project base and corrected base service. everything else stays pretty consistent, steam fitting shop is mainly a project base shop because they have more of a, a request for service come for larger projects for our clients from heat from agencies such as the sheriff's department, fire department. and as we go down, near the end of the chart, roofing always sees an uptick as the weather changes so we can always count on slight up take in roofing as we get into fall and winter months. most of this stays very very consistent our paint, service orders have increased. we have goent a lot of request

for lot striping as of late from partnering and agencies such as dph and they have seen a pretty good influx of work coming in from the sheriff's department for their services. so our workload seems to consistently match this chart. the next charge is our total request for fiscal year 2024. and one again, this pretty much mirrors and consistent year-in and year-out with sfpd public library real estate and our own in-house work that we get from our public works group. coming up i do see a a bigger

influx of work from treasure island as we've been requested and going out at looking doing quarterly maintenance on their parks. so we're in that beginning of development of that but that is going to be coming up here shortly. and a nice larger influx subsequent to when this report came out for both natural resource sxz land management. their water quality team, we've gotten, we're doing tentative improvement project in millbreak and burrling game so we'll be doing an influx from partner and agency. the next chart is our

conversion what we estimate and what turns out for a real job for us. and right now, we are well over 60 percent which is consistent with what we've seen in year's past. and we, we will take any work that we can get for lack of a better term. so we're happy with that conversion rate but we would like to see it go up. but, if we can get 7 out of 10 estimate that's we provide to our clients and partner and agencies, we'll definitely take it. and with that, i will if there is no questions, i will see to jacob-nicole the acting assistant superintendent for street repair. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> how is everybody doing?

how is everybody doing? good morning, my name is jacob nicole i'm the acting superintendent for sanitation repair. and if we look at this, this is our 311 service orders coming in and the response rate that we have to those. so we have a 72-hour response rate we would like to reach a 90 percent goal of reaching those public. we're at our 90 percent for fiscal year 24. let me go to this next slide. so this is our annual quantity of potholes repaired. this is not only 311 but this is potholes that we prepare with our sweep crew, this is some possibly sewer-related potholes. but compared to last year, we're up on our pothole

considerable amount. and we completed 12,440 potholes last year. this is our so we have a sweep crew that has been running now for the last couple of years and this is a proactive pothole crew that combined with the 311 calls that come in p.the proactive sweep is accounting for nearly 26 percent of potholes being filled around the city which i think is pretty amazing. it cuts down on the 311 request and it let's the public know hey, we're out here trying to get ahead of the 8 ball and make sure that we make those repairs and the public is safe. and our last, i think this is, no, so in this slide, this shows our block paving. the number of blocks that we complete per year and as you can see in year 24, we reached

our 120 block goal. and we were able to keep on to this next year coming up. and then, this here, basically shows where we are as far as we have patch paved voids, depression and blocked paving. as you can see, fiscal year 24, we had more a little bit more scare footage completed on our program than the previous year. patch pave has stayed pretty consistent. it has jumped awe little bit highser this year. and that's because i believe that proactive engagement that we're getting into, we're going to do more patches with the distance with the sweep crew. and you can see that our depressions, that's work that we do that is basically puc it could be a sewer depression, something that needs to be

taken look at. but that number has gone down and that's because of our coordination and being able to, to you know, just work in concert with them, they will let us know of a location that needs to be addressed and made shave will come out proactively and complete those repairs, that's why i believe our sewers are down for this year. any questions? >> i know we talked about this before, what happen at a certain street that is still under sf county but somehow become another county's responsibility and it remains not repaired? i know jeffery mentioned earlier, that dpw partner with other counties on some works. so why we not partnering with

this particular county to fix these street road potholes? >> thank you, thank you for bringing that up. i remember us being out there and checking that area out. so right now, you know, there is some confusion as to who owns that street city of brisbane or is it city and county of san francisco. so what we need to do and what i'll get on top of and differ with colleagues that may have gone through this before is just kind of coordinating with them, if there is a way that you know, we can just come to an agreement with who is going to make these repairs. if assistance is needed because brisbane may not have the tools that we have and maybe differ them more. >> currently streets and

highways is work width city, the county of san mateo and it's reviewed by the board of supervisors, the agreement between the two counties before any improvements can be made in the area. so that's what we're waiting for before we can actually resurface the street. i've been told once we resurface it will go under the maintenance of san mateo county. >> is this an on going thing? >> it's been on going thing. i don't know if it's reached board of supervisors at this point. but this is the position that's been provided to me by streets and highways. so. >> years, months? i'm just curious, this thing has been there right in front of us. >> yeah, unfortunately, they could not give me anytime line but i've been told it can take

sometime for it to go through the process, because it needs to be approved by the county of san mateo though. it will take some time unfortunately. thank you. >> director short? >> just to add, so it's part of our department of engineering, they've been negotiating to try to come with a reasonable, we should be invested in getting this roadway repairs and ultimately maintained. so they've been in those negotiations. and i would say not years but a few more months likely before we can get the, the plan accepted. and then, the hope is that, you know, that we'll have an agreement on the future maintenance of that area and essentially, bring it up to standards and then, one of us will be responsible for the

long term maintenance. so it has been a longstanding area but i don't think we've been working on it actively for a long time. that's been relatively resent. so we should be able to get this finalized. >> that's why it's taken this long to kind of get going you know, so thank you. that's very helpful. all right, do we have any other comments? oh i would like to say great job with you know, with especially with the filling the potholes and being proactive with that, that is awesome. i know i appreciate that when i drive. so i was wondering, do you why you've been able to repair for potholes this past year? is it staffing? or? >> well it could be that a lot more people are becoming

familiar with that 311 app. so more requests are being made. i know that, you know, there was a pretty substantial rainy season as well. and that definitely affects, you know, the payment index on these streets and drives up calls into 311. that's what i would, you know, amount to the increase and the potholes. >> yeah, i think last year, we also had a big rainy season as well so. it's been a challenging last three years for you guys. >> it's great that sweep crew, we're creating service orders, a couple of different things kind of bring to the reason why that number is up. >> that's awesome, thank you for that. >> thank you. >> all right, so hearing no further questions, mr. fuller, please open this to public comment.

>> members of the public who wish to make 3 minutes of comment in-person on item 4, the bureau of building and street repairs performance measure report may line up against the wall furthest from the door. and if you're commenting from outside of the chamber, press the raise your hand button in the webinar or press star-3 on your phone to be recognized. and we do not have any in-person speakers and there are no callers who have expressed interest on this item either so. that concludes public comment. >> all right, secretary fuller please call the next item. >> item 5 is new business initiated by commissioners and this is an opportunity for commission inventories make announcement sxz raise topics to be added to future commission agendas and this is

an informational item. >> all right, commissioner harrison? >> yeah, i had occasion to be out on sunset boulevard and was wondering why it looks so rough? so with that, i would ask that the department could give us a report on the sunset boulevard maintenance issues at our october meeting. is there any new business? no? does not look like it? so hearing no further new business, mr. fuller please open public comment on this item. >> members of the public who wish to make three minutes of comment in-person on item 5, new business, may line up against the wall furthest from

the door and if you're commenting from outside of the chamber press the raise hand button or star-3 to be recognized. and we do not have any in-person or telephone commenters at this time. sol that concludes public comment. >> all right. hearing no further discussions, secretary fuller please call the next item. >> so item 6 is the general public comment continued from item 1 if necessary is not necessary since we did not pass the 15-minute park of total comment at that time. so this item is not necessary. >> all right. and then, mr. secretary, is there any further business? >> there is no further business on the agenda. >> okay. this commission will meet again on hearing no objection.

yeah. on hearing no objection, are we okay with--adjourned this meeting at 10:42 am. i think that's our quickest meeting.you.

>> what do you think about working at an airport and i love it is busy all the time. >> we want it to be an those away was this is a venture if i didn't love it i'll be an accountant. >> we want the experience that is a non-airport experience the negative stigma we're trying to erase that. >> everything is in a bad food to excite them about the food and they have time to learn about us. >> people are imitated by traveling and the last thing to do is come to a place fill of chaos. >> telling me how the extent of

napa a farms came about. >> it was a vision of the airport director he had a suspicion of a really cool gourmet speciality market locally friendly products this market local flavors this is the best. >> can we get a little tour. >> absolutely (laughter) ♪♪ ♪♪ >> so first on our tour. >> we have the clock we like to call it. >> this is coordinating it is made in san francisco. >> what about the customer presence. >> we like to get the permanent farther i love the cappuccino and you have to go to multiple places for the cupcakes the cup

a cakes from kari's people want to live here they're longing phone call for one thing in one spot in you know anything about san francisco the cheese the most popular cheesy think a lot of the people from the west coast say so this the real san francisco sour dough and they're curious. >> you find people respond to the idea of organic and absolutely. >> this is autumn. >> thank you, thank you and there's a lot of personal touch. >> i see san francisco. >> it's very hands on. >> what's the most popular items. >> this is quite surprising our fresh jotting this is the chronicle special a bowl of warm oats and coconut that's mites

farther. >> and speaking of drinks tell me again the cocktail scenes is that one, the things your known for . >> the cocktails are fantastic. >> really. >> fresh ingredients we don't have a mixture it to order this is our marcus bloody mayor. >> farmer's market bloody mary the bloody marys in the airport are great shikz it up. and then we're going to garnish it with olives. and some lime and a fresh stalk of selly. right on.

>> we like >> in the bay area as a whole, thinking about environmental sustainability. we have been a leader in the

country across industries in terms of what you can do and we have a learn approach. that is what allows us to be successful. >> what's wonderful is you have so many people who come here and they are what i call policy innovators and whether it's banning plastic bags, recycling, composting, all the different things that we can do to improve the environment. we really champion. we are at recycle central, a large recycle fail on san francisco pier 96. every day the neighborhood trucks that pick up recycling from the blue bins bring 50 # o tons of bottles, cans and paper here to this facility and unload it. and inside recology, san

francisco's recycling company, they sort that into aluminum cans, glass cans, and different type of plastic. san francisco is making efforts to send less materials to the landfill and give more materials for recycling. other cities are observing this and are envious of san francisco's robust recycling program. it is good for the environment. but there is a lot of low quality plastics and junk plastics and candy wrappers and is difficult to recycle that. it is low quality material. in most cities that goes to landfill. >> looking at the plastics industry, the oil industry is the main producer of blastics. and as we have been trying to phase out fossil fuels and the transfer stream, this is the fossil fuels and that plastic isn't recycled and goes into the

waste stream and the landfill and unfortunately in the ocean. with the stairry step there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. >> we can recycle again and again and again. but plastic, maybe you can recycle it once, maybe. and that, even that process it downgrades into a lower quality material. >> it is cheaper for the oil industry to create new plastics and so they have been producing more and more plastics so with our ab793, we have a bill that really has a goal of getting our beverage bottles to be made of more recycled content so by the time 2030 rolls around t recycle content in a coke bottle, pepsi bottle, water bottle, will be up to 50% which is higher thatten the percentage in the european union and the highest percentage in the world. and that way you can actually feel confident that what you're

drinking will actually become recycled. now, our recommendation is don't use to plastic bottle to begin w but if you do, they are committing to 50% recycled content. >> the test thing we can do is vote with our consumer dollars when we're shopping. if you can die something with no packaging and find loose fruits and vegetables, that is the best. find in packaging and glass, metal and pap rer all easily recycled. we don't want plastic. we want less plastic. awe what you we do locally is we have the program to think disposable and work one on one to provide technical assistance to swap out the disposable food service to reusables and we have funding available to support businesses to do that so that is

a way to get them off there. and i believe now is the time we will see a lot of the solutions come on the market and come on the scene. >> and is really logistics company and what we offer to restaurants is reasonable containers that they can order just like they would so we came from about a pain point that a lot of customers feel which wills a lot of waste with takeout and deliver, even transitioning from styrofoam to plastic, it is still wasteful. and to dream about reusing this one to be re-implemented and cost delivery and food takeout. we didn't have throwaway culture always. most people used to get delivered to people's homes and then the empty milk containers were put back out when fresh milk came. customers are so excited that we have this available in our

restaurant and came back and asked and were so excited about it and rolled it out as customers gain awareness understanding what it is and how it works and how they can integrate it into their life. >> and they have always done it and usually that is a way of being sustainable and long-term change to what makes good financial sense especially as there are shipping issues and material issues and we see that will potentially be a way that we can save money as well. and so i think making that case to other restaurateurs will really help people adopt this.

>> one restaurant we converted 2,000 packages and the impact and impact they have in the community with one switch. and we have been really encouraged to see more and more restaurants cooperate this. we are big fans of what re-ecology does in terms of adopting new systems and understanding why the current system is broken. when people come to the facility, they are shocked by how much waste they see and the volume of the operations and how much technology we have dedicated to sort correctly and we led 25 tours and for students

to reach about 1100 students. and they wanted to make change and this is sorting in the waste stream they do every single day and they can take ownership of and make a difference with. >> an i feel very, very fortunate that i get to represent san francisco in the legislature and allows me to push the envelope and it is because of the people the city attracts and is because of the eco system of policy thinking that goes on in san francisco that we are constantly seeing san francisco leading the way. >> kids know there's a lot of environmental issues that they are facing. and that they will be impacted by the impact of climate change. they will have the opportunity to be in charge and make change and make the decisions in the future.

>> we are re-inventing the way the planet does garbage founded in the environmental ethic and hunger to send less to landfills. this is so many wonderful things happening in san francisco. i feel very fortunate and very humble to live here and to be part of this wonderful place.
