public comment. so not not even specific to my case, but i would just like to make a public comment of essentially what all of this process has shown is that by taking initiative to bring in the department of building inspection actually can penalize you and so the for our case, it's on the backyard. dbi would have never seen anything there. so essentially this process is teaching the public to actually not engage the city. so i do think that kind of calls into question maybe the handling of these matters in the future. but like i said, not supposed to be specific to our case. i would like to thank you for that. i believe the city has been. unfairly, unfairly unbiased. i mean, they they they're supposed to be the experts. they're supposed to know how to read a surveyor report. it has taken three years. it shouldn't take that long. they're waiting for. i don't know what they're

waiting for. for things to figure it out on them. on the city has to. i think from the department. it's a very difficult process that should not be this long. it can be done, it can be improved and we shouldn't be here. we should be working on, on, on this or they should be working on this. but it's been this. these are unfair impartiality. when there is a public record showing where the line of the property goes, okay. thank you. you're getting back into the case. but thank you i appreciate both of your all of your comments. thank you. item i sorry this took so long. yeah okay. thank you. okay. and item e is adjournments or motion to adjourn. so moved. is there a second second. all in favor. aye. okay. we are now adjourned. it's 1:55 p.m. thank you. thank you. there is also.

>> we have been without a major seismic event for over 20 years now. will happen at a moment's notice [♪♪♪] >> today we are practising the activation of our department emergency operations center. >> this is really an exercise for us to train, and we are using fleet week and the entire -- the italian heritage festival as the exercise. we have four different sections that are working today. there is operations, and operations basically is our contact with people out in the fields. they are finding out how things are going, and if there are problems, they are letting us know and we can identify through our action plan what what resources are needed and dispatch those resources. they will fill out reports and then the report gets to planning you will identify if additional resources need to be happening over a long-term timeframe and

then they will provide for that by talking with our logistics staff. the logistic staff logistics staff is the one that will order labor, materials, they will do that, first of all, looking within our own organization, then if we don't have that within our own organization, they will contact the p.o.c. and then they will look at getting resources to us. and then last but importantly as our finance staff. and they are here to make sure that we first of all fill out all the paperwork so in an actual event, when the federal government will be reimbursing s., then we are following the proper protocol, and they are also making sure the money is there in place. >> today in the field we have the environmental service is following the parade, and doing the final cleanup of the parade. and an emergency situation, they would likely be doing something similar to this, only with debris. also in the field is the

inspectors from the mapping. they are doing some live streaming. >> there is an intersection of beach making sure that everything is safe for our public, our visitors, and everyone participating in the event. >> there will be so many different departments working during a seismic event or any other kind of emergency. they will all have a separate action plan, and we are here making sure that for public works the action plan for that emergency event is actually followed through. >> engineers will likely be doing damage assessment of roads , bridges, overhead passes, architects and engineers as well would be doing damage assessment of facilities and buildings. building repair it would probably be doing some immediate repairs to make facilities operational, especially things like shelters, street and sewer

repair, as the urban forestry crew also has big equipment that can help clear the roadways. [♪♪♪] >> we have been without a major seismic event for over 20 years now, so it is important that we are ready, we know the roles that we need to play, and we are able to act quickly because it will happen at a moment's notice so that is one of the reasons why we do this, and again, the more comfortable we feel in our roles, then the better we can respond quickly to emergencies. >> for an emergency planning communication is very important, and so i can't stress enough the importance of figuring out a communication plan for your family, and for the department. that is why we are practising today how we communicate and interact with each other, how we share information, and how we use that information, and then for the city as a whole, so that the city as a halt knows what is going on as well.

>> i never met anyone who recovered from the drugs i was using. i know i was not living the life i wanted to lichb, but didn't know how to get back on track. buprenorphine gave me the life and space to take life one step at a time. i have a life, a life beyond what i could ever dream. a life that includes a relationship with my son. i know anyone can recover. i'm living proof >> shared spaces have transformed san francisco's adjacent sidewalks, local business communities are more resilient and their neighborhood centers are more vibrant and mildly. sidewalks and parking lanes can be used for outdoor

seating, dining, merchandising, and other community activities. we're counting on operators of shared spaces to ensure their sites are safe and accessible for all. people with disabilities enjoy all types of spaces. please provide at least 8 feet of open uninterrupted sidewalk so everyone can get through. sidewalk diverter let those who have low vision navigate through dining and other activity areas on the sidewalk. these devices are rectangular planters or boxes that are placed on the sidewalk at the ends of each shared space and need to be at least 12 inches wide and 24 inches long and 30 inches tall. they can be on wheels to make it easy to bring in and out at the start and the end of each day. but during business hours, they should be stationary and secure. please provide at least one wheelchair accessible dining

table in your shared space so the disability people can patronize your business. to ensure that wheelchair users can get to the wheelchair accessible area in the park area, provide an adequate ramp or parklet ramps are even with the curb. nobody wants to trip or get stuck. cable covers or cable ramps can create tripping hazards and difficulties for wheelchair users so they are not permitted on sidewalks. instead, electrical cables should run overhead at least ten feet above sidewalk. these updates to the shared spaces program will help to ensure safety and accessibility for everyone, so that we can all enjoy these public spaces. more information is available at sf.govt/shared
