thumb is one of our question system will it be climbed on? is it safe? people will climb if they can climb. you know this one is in. it is beautifulism know we need something for safety is there any other option within budget constraints that will not make it electric like it is not under construction >> now that is the immediate bandaid. we had a situation we had 30 kids climbing on temperature and you know it is slippery, right. it is slick polished metal. they could have fall koren down special cracked their skulls. we had to get something up really quick. but we are looking at a better option. but now we the first option of keep kids off this thing. >> makes sense. thank you. >> and adults, too.

[laughter]. we saw children for the record. [laughter]. >> are there other comments by the commission on the director's report? may i ask for public comment on the director's report? those in person prosecute seed to the podium and fill out the information card. weer item 4. comments from those in person. no requests for public comment it is now closed. >> now calling agenda item 5 which the committee reports and committee matters for discussion. item 5.1 the civic design review report. and i'm introducing our chair

abbie schnair to present the report on the civic design review committee. >> thank you. president collins. [laughter] we reviewed two projects this past meeting. sf oshg term until throw west modernization the courtyard connector for c4c. phase 2 review. the project team reviewed the feedback during the review. and they shared ann mated walk through of the exterior. the project team explained the material choices and views for the 5 side facade and materiality samples. and commissioners comp

complimented the design you have the horse shoe. terminal 3 is at the end. it is how you connect this beautiful award winning design of the international terminal with the newly phased terminal throw. they have come up with a unique 5 side way of doing this. i will show you more and we'll discuss more once we go through phase throw. i wanted show you this arnmation. i think it is amaze when they have done. you violate administration building now the redo of the terminal itself of 3 and it will go to the c43 connector.

yea. you request see and watch it will go around it and you can get an idea of you know there it looks like a normal 4 sided but it is in the. it is a polyhead ron. and you can see what they are getting a look of terminal the arch way. which is -- ecose the international terminal.

exactly. >> they have fins and they have been careful with the fins in terms of which way they face. for the solar. >> exactly. incredible. yep. you got it. >> well thought out. >> you can -- helicopter view. >> yea. >> trying to give you a sense of you know in plan you will seat 5 side this is way you get the idea. i think that -- like it is invisibility. they did a terrific job. this area is the services the building and administration? the penthouse stuff is and then

under is the passage way for the terminals and the upper part is -- down. >> anyway employmented to show you that. and then the second project we did was -- the sfo westfield campus. and that one is was just a conceptual review this is a huge project will do over 10-20 years. and so the project manager shared an over view of the catch us team and plan. and the goals are to create a human scale and pedestrian or yenlded environment this . is over not where the terminals are. but this is where if you can show me the first one of the -- master plan? >> yea temperature is a slide. yea.

not an animation. anyway. so, as you can see you see where the terminal all that is. this is the westfield campus. and right now what they are doing is -- these are what go become to the first one. these other buildings the ones in blue. this is how more tell be complete. what they are trying to do, 674 was the first building this of done. mark design today and it was supposed to be that build and then the administration building is now at the terminal the

second one. it was the two of them. since then. they decided to expand the to the larger -- campus and really create a campus design vision to be a model aviation support campus sets the new standards for employee experience and efficiency and sustain ability and the public realm will serve the connective tissue. you also have the air train also has the westfield station. well is a way for people back and forth. >> exactly. thank you. so -- anyway. the commissioners encourage the design to soften the image of large scale with methods. we are talking about the 3

projects are basically a garage that is -- sick 70 the yellow one well. and that will create a green court heart to the campus. commissioners when we were encouraging the design to soften the image the using a different materials and scale. and break up the massing to achieve this. and also.ed the team to contract levels of comfort for each employee working on the site and to consider the wind patterns to avoid creating the wind tunnels temperature is windy and as you -- open everything up you gotta make sure as you build you don't create those.

the other thing was that -- there is quite a bit of art enrich am that will happen because the buildings all together is a huge amount funding. we asked them to please. sit down -- with mary chu and go through more of a master plan. and create i master plan of public art for this campus. so. >> commissioner. is -- the museum in the museum back offices are they in 674? that's a completed building. >> yes.

and i am not sure. gi think that is where we are. there may be. trying to remember when we did the last tour through one. i will remember. to your point land scape is very important in a campus. it is different than building the terminals. and so it is a fortunate get right early >> we encourage them to start wing on this so that the design of the building and the concept of the art works together and come together we know that the best public art done that is how it has been achieved. we have been i think we were very thorough in letting them know and they are in agreement. this garage they are building

they are creative with coming up with the whole like large -- stair down to what will be the catch us that can be like a stadium seating thing. they got this as part of it and being creative with how to make the parking structure and how you enter and exit it to become help to make that center part the heart of the campus. i'm intrigued where they will go with temperature other comments by the commission? >> i wanted to acknowledge the amount of work that commissioner schnair and the other members do. i sat in on the meeting ands it is a lot of work. [laughter]. those meetings are very long. i am so grateful and admire your service.

thank you. >> thank you. >> move on to the west view. >> i have completed my report. >> president collins? >> i wanted to also acknowledge commissioner schnair and the wonderful work that you have done. on this cdr committee. and taking it over with [inaudible] and you doe in and your energy is amazing. and you stay your mind is sharp the entire meeting. you don't ever pause. you can't, right. and you are on it. you are on it! and it is so impressive. i'm just say i can't thank you enough for what you have done with that committee. >> thank you. [applause] >> and also [inaudible] there is, lot of visibility in this committee it is intersexting with many departments. one of the things that we want

to do is to facilitate the design process and not to be burden some on it. so, it is not without great notice that it is so important to meet quorum and be there and have done the work. for all ofow that committee, you know we really greatly appreciate the time that you spends in advance. so that00 autodepartments that we are working with are looking forward to. the interaction. that -- you know is something that takes time to develop that culture. the entire committee you know is a product of leadership. thank you very much for each one. you. [applause] >> thank you. >> is there any public comment on this agenda item?

you will see a time and are receive a 30 second warning before where you are time conclouds comment from those in person anyone withhold like to comment on the current item? seeing none, it is now closed. >> in this wonderful not competition but cooperation of committees, now we goat go to va. i'm introducing our committee chair suzie ferris for visual art's committee report >> thank you, president coli believes. no not competition a cooperative. but that said we had a short meeting and not as impressive as the last presentation. but none the less the work is something we are very excite body what we review. report for witness stand january 29 the visual art's committee. we reviewed the design and

budget of pier 27 cruise terminal project. revised the design, based on the modular construction of pole carbonate tiles the design allows for batch production and assembly and permits more dynamic form cantilevering from front to back. you see that in the visual on the right side. this design also enables repair or replace am in the event of surrender limp or damage. . use the similar the same materials that are used on our bus stop designs. the events on the top. don't fade. they are -- easy 3 buffed for scratching, scraping and can be

cleaned with spray paintful each tile since they are not connected can be replaced if needed as needed. following a budget analysis the port is can be thing 61,000 plus a waiver of port fees to make this project possible. this couples with savings found in within the budget equalling 98, 890. contract increase restored the artist fee of 20% of the original amount and the project contingency. do the -- both -- price increases in the materials as well as fabrication. sometimes when the protects stretch on they can increase. that is the factors this went in this increase. and again thank you very much to the port for stepping up.

they wanted make sure that the decrease in furnldzing did not affect the projects that it was small and that great space they have at pier 27. making sure it fits the space and appropriate. and it is going to be an art jewel added to our city. with that, i conclude my report for the visual art's committee unless there are comments or question sns >> any comments or questions from the members of the commission. why one comment is this we should not only praise the port and our staff but the artists. they stayed very engaged and involved it is an important commission. it is an enunciation of arrive nothing san francisco. thousands of people will see this piece. so, thank you for everyone and putting the resources behind how important this location is. yes, thank you presidency

collins, this is so true the staff definitely did the work needed to coordinate that with the pier and with the artist. thank you to anna theresa for being open and flexible to reworking the design. yes. thank you. other comments from the commission. commissioner beltran >> thank you. i wanted to mention for commissioners not thereupon that the upon project supports a local artist my formy graduate student at san francisco art institute. and how become the local art stars with her career. so, all around, a fantastic project to give our local san francisco based artists an art opportunity like this. >> no other comments. are there public comment on the visual art's committee report?

weer item 5.2. your time will start when you begin speaking you will see a timer on the podium. is there anyone who would like to comment on the current agenda item? >> no questions, public comment is now closed. >> now calling item 5.throw.1. which is the executive committee report of i'm chair of the executive committee and my report will be brooefr. january 15 issue 2025 the executive committee meeting started off with the report by the director of the commission to the committee. we had one important matter before our committee meeting. there was a robust conversation on the budget. which will be presented short low with our recommendation for

approval. that is the report of the executive committee. >> are there comments or questions discussion on the executive report? is there public comment on the executive committee report? public sxhent now closed >> thank you. i'm going to call item 5.3.two of the art's commission draft report. and i'm introducing our deputy director of finance and administration.

sarah holbeck to present the item. >> good afternoon president collins. vice president shiota and commissioners. thank you very much for your time and attention this afternoon to this important matter. i'm sarah deputy director of administration. i would not be remiss not to acknowledge the work of kevin kwon and the, counting staff. preparing these materials. thank you very much. we will try to get to the right -- wrong way. >> presentation summary. first we start with a discussion of the budget process and time line. and we will talk about the budget climate and the instructions this we received from the mayor. in preparing this budget subnigz mission and touch on revenues, speak a bit to the matter of hotel tax performance.

as you know is important. to our budget. and then we'll talk about expenditure and it is capitol budget of so, we will proceed. so, as you know we are currently in the department phase of the budget process. we are required to conduct two public meetings a part of this process. this is the second of those two. we will submit or budget in late february. the operating budgetful capitol budget request already submitted. and will talk about what was included in this budget in more detail later in the presentation. the mayor interacts with all departments in preparing his budget. which has been submitted to the board of supervisors by june first for you our departments for some of the city's larger enterprise funded departments

may first time line and of course the board of supervisors considers the budget. make changes they may make and ultimately a budget is passed. in june and signed by the mayor in late and july or august. all of that to say we are the beginning of a process now. and you know given the climate which we will talk about on the next slide, this is going to be an interesting challenging several months. as you read in the news, the city is facing a budget deficit of 876 million dollars over the next two fiscal years. ultimately, there are a number of factors that have been contributing to this deficit. but at the most basic level it is a matter of expend tours growing faster than revenue. city's major revenues have been

under pressure so they are growing at a more moderate pace than they have been or not growing at the momentful as well as the fact that the last few budget cycles the budget was balanced based on the use of one time revenues. in hope so of moderating the affects of the deficits in those years and hopeful leave giving the city time to grow out of that. we have not stheen robust growth and the one time source are exhausted or soon to be. so we near a position of having to make difficult choices and as you see here the directive that the mayor's office gave to department in preparing budget this is year is to reduce on going general fund spending by 15%.

both fiscal year and used the word permanently relating to the expenditure reductions. the directives included assessment of community based organization grant allocations for efficiency. reexamining all service and nonpersonnel expenditures and you may have seen a press release the mayor released i think on the ninth of the saying stopping all new programs and contracts and noted here hiring freeze. so, we are hoping that is more of a hiring pause. but at this time we are waiting for feedback from the mayor's office we understand will be forth coming in the near future. so. with that, the revenue picture

we have here, you will see our budgeted revenues and i will walk briefly through what the major sources as many of you are most of you are not all of you are familiar. largest source is hotel tax under prop e. we have a small general fund allocation that is used to cemetery the art's commission'sarctivities. we have a different presentation of the information this year to try to be more transparent about that general fun allocation. becausey will see on the row charter allocation, this is general funds support. but it passes through the art's commission and on to the symphony pursuant to charter section i forget. the charter. . so -- that is not money that we retained for our uses and

thought it was more clearer to all of us and the public this really that is what is happening there rather than one thing to a single line item. one time source exhaustd and crediting changes the holing time one time line item fund balance from prior years over performance in hotel tax. we were able to use that in fiscal 25 we have a small amount. in fiscal 27 we don't have that as a source and innerdepartmental services is

revenue from other departments and work ordered or transferred to us in a manner to carry out work for them in many cases that is public art work. the grant line is revenue from grant source. and -- the bottom section here again this is budget requests that were reflecting. we hope for these amounts revenue. i will talk more about that on a future slide. >> as we talk before we get into talking about ecpend tours i wanted to pause on the recent hotel tax performance. and when woo have experienced it

affected how we chosen to approach the budgeting of expenditures from the hotel tax revenue in this budgetful what you are seeing here are the red embarrass represent revenue budgeted. the gray embarrass represent the revenue actual collected. you see in each of the last 3 years revenue was a level higher than what was collected. and so -- for fiscal 26. this has not happened what this set of bars is representing is what was in the budget for the second year of the important budget cycle. you see that was optimistic when now the base budget for fiscal 26 a 2 million dollars

difference. there is uncertainty how the hotel tax will perform. you see the hospitality sector slowed down and not quite achieved the. hopes that were reflected in prior years. in the last couple of fiscal years we we are many of our grants are not sized until spring. there are application roeszs in the fall. they are assessd and awards recommended to the committee and the full commission in spring. in october they were revising down the hotel tax projection and ghaen january.

january/february. another reduction to the annual revenue collection and again at the 9 month report in march. that's the trendful as a consequence. what you will see on the budgeted expenditure slide is a line item you have not seen before. we have broken the expenditures we have community investments. once again this allocation -- the charter -- section -- did not have that in the footnote. administration this is the new line item you will not have seen in the past this is to create a

buffer with what we expect expect program to spends and the budgeted revenue such that if we go through a process like the last year or two where -- the forecast is something today. but the time we get midway to next fiscal year and this revenue is not performancing up to the mate in the budget, we'll not have to community a lower amount of grant funding to our community but will have already accounted for that as we go through fiscal 26 we are confidence the revenue budgeted will be collected we can program the funds its is a buffer or cushion against downward revisions to the forecast. otherwise, so where that shoes up is in that top line you see

the investment. operating budget. . is projected to be significant upon next year and the following in fiscal 25 that is as a result of the hotel tax not being the forecast itself or budget lower. partially as a result of this setting aside of portion of that revenue or projected revenue and in is not all of -- the community investment program. there were general fund grant activities not being receiving funding for those in going forward. i would like to nev. -- the decrease in public art and civic

direction is reflective of the ending of the revenue recognition for melon grant. this will have been recognized as of fiscal 25. grant period conditions to fiscal 26. that is part of that larger decline. the other item the public art -- as we talked about in the committee meeting that only captures the portion of the public art budget that is budgeted as operate nothing our budget most of the art enrichment activity talked about in of the prior agenda item is the art enrich am funds budgeted in other departments capitol budgets. they are not reflective the

small number of 1 and a half million dollars for public art collection is in the reflective of the public art enrichment work we do or the staff that support that work. other departments are carrying out programs that funds that art work when we look at the recent throw-4 years worth of ecpend tours in the art enrichment and public art program funded it is averaged in the throw envelope million dollars a year. a question was how much do we have this we are managing and electronicing represents the art work and conversation components of those projects and it is

about 20 million dollars. we have a system which when we receive it keep know how much we have and the components that we are allocated to spends on which of the activities. moving on to the capitol budget this is the requests again. requests -- for cultural centers and gal reese. there is awe large request that we have again included in our budget for 10 million dollars for the facility. i did not show it threes the scale you have too much will the rest request range from 20 thousand to half a million

dollars. for everything from capitol center cull roll center maintenance. roofs, doors and floor repairs. fire, tiles for the main gallery. we are hopeful we'll be will successful. we understand the budget climate and the capitol planning committee has been clear with all departments tell be a challenging time this year given the constraints on the available funding. it is a happier picture from the art collection. at least as of recently this slide reflects the history funding for the civic art collection. back to 2018 and our ask for fiscal 26 and 27.

you see -- we were in the getting money before the. pan dem and i can our budget was just decimated when the pandemic hit. i should noetd note our cost model that the public art team maintains reflects a need of million and a half dollars a year to conserve the collection. we were am extremely pleased to be successful in our asks last year. we received over 2-1/2 million dollars. we have been able to make progress. i'm sure those of out committees that approve and updated regularly on the activities of the checks's team. they have been hard at work. and so we are going ahead and asking for when we need this year. for fiscal 26 and 27.

we don't know we will be as successful. we are hope. . but we're asking for when we need. and we are oorp00 just hopeful we have done such a good jock in deploying funs we were allocated last year and made a difference in publicly. matters of public interests roll to sculptors that will be successful again watch that i would be happy to answer questions that you may have. i want to thank you and the entire department of the [applause]. with the budget climate and new instructions from our new mayor, we're are appreciative for the care. weave d. have a chance to look at this in committee. thank you for this points to the commission. are there comments or

discussions from the commission on the budget? commissioner beltran >> thank you. could you go to the first slide i wanted clarify something. . thank you so much to you. and the team. kevin. the spreadsheet >> i wanted clarify you were talking about in terms of00 autopast with the symphony that 4.prison and 6. that's the allingcasion but we don't see that revenue? >> so that is the allocation that is computed in the charter and miss to us and we -- pass it through to the simple font

competence get i portion back to support some of our operations off set what would be a general fund comp the upon general fund is for our operations? laterally the administrative team. yes. that is -- that is when we retain to runt department. >> and the general fund from the mayor's office? >> it -- guess through the process the mayor's office and board. approved. looks like it is constant. >> it is fall koren i think if you went back another year it fall koren by a mission. >> yea. >> million and a half >> cut every year. >> since i have been here they cut our fund allocation a year.

is that because. next one. i think. revenue. the revenue. okay. >> the departmental services is

this like -- is that what -- add backs. total add backs? >> innerdepartmental service. yes. department this is may work or funding for example to administer for them. right. >> other types of we have a collaborative rep with the library and so -- revenue come through that and show up in this line item 2 performance service. >> it connects to this and it is another slides. folks have been talking about for a long time.

when -- the stuff is happen nothing other departments those come through. the art's commission. they don't now. i mean -- sometime its is planning department or -- whatever. i think that -- if we do that. tell make more sense to that priority. that -- the city starts looking at all of the stuff what way. so, i'm hopeful as you talk to the mayor's office that -- you bring it together. because -- we are having, when we don't fail at being efficient, everybody loses. we are not doing when we need to do. so somehow i think we need to use that priority to really coordinate everything better. it worked well when we inform covid. everyone was going in emergency

orders. it would be great to keep it there. so we can be more efficient in this way. there will be -- somebody -- determining what -- that efficiency is. are we setting the goal and meeting the goal? are they good with funding all that. we need it consistent. i will just i think put this there. i think it will be more and more important as we strug welincomes a city. so -- i think that -- so, commissioner, walker. we had a leadership meeting today before this meeting of all the people in my line of reporting. for economic and -- and so --

we're meeting regularly. head to the museum, sfo me, the head of war memory yell we are meeting in the same room that is a first since i have been here. we are meet and talking and coordinating we have a separate pod this is all art's related. programs this we will meet as well in all together we can coordinate all these things as you suggest. >> great. i think that will give us more revenue from other departments to fund our staff and infrastructure so this we help facilitate it. it makes good sense. great. are there other comments, commissioner carbon and he then commissioner benzo. >> could you go to the last slide? that one.

the -- the conversation looks like it was -- it is -- pretty amazeing chart. 7 or 8 years we were urn funded you in we have a huge catch up. is it possible to equalize this now? or -- i'm sure well are politics involved >> well is cosflid there, >> guess way before covid. we ask for when we need. and communicate you know communicate with the capitol planning committee. what our needs and priorities are. and what the consequences is not funding the needs are. >> and then -- they -- take that information and all the other requests and priority and

give when you say they give us. so -- we are sort of at the -- mercy of the capitol planning committee we do be clear about what it is that would enable us to -- conserve the works and as you say not have the feast or famine it is difficult on staff. it can wonderful problem to have but to have so much little for so long and have just getting our contractors on board. increasing the amounts to push out this much work so it would be -- desirable from perspectives. equalize this. >> all of the conversation come through the capitol planning committee. 91 of it out of the 2% budget that we get? >> the art works that have been

funded throughout art enrichment have that 10% conversation allocation have that on going source for a period of time. but -- there are many works in the correction of 4,000 that don't have that allocation. i asked in the future that we have a discussion on this. because it pertains to art collection and it is interesting how for example, of the airport accounts for the conversation. so it is a one of those things we as commissioners should understand and so -- we asked raffle at the appropriate time to bring that to us and it might be at the invitation we have the new director of the museum at the airport. this is now what you are talking about commissioner carbon sesitting with revolve and he will bring this forward

temperature is something important. as director said 1. 5 million is the steady state. right. that it is the heart beat. we are looking at the peek you are concerned about the valley and there is the distribution of work within those things that are ours. who pays for this? that is a part of it. let's not get bogged down in this today it does ask the question. how are those pieces where they are under who's responsibility to they lie? there are interesting implications in the art of 2%. that's a lot of stuff. and tell be brought to us in an orderly way. >> and those are things we can we will tease out during the strategic planning press. because -- civic maintenance of

our art collection has been a very pressing subject for men years. we love putting up new shiny things but deponent like maintaining them. we need to get advocacy around it. commissioner. yea. thank you for the presentation. and all the hard work. i want to comment about the scale and proportion. you know if we assume there is a 13 billion dollars city budget, we are 1. 5% of 1 percent of total. i understand we have to be part of the sdoougz solution that is important i'm glad we are doing that. that mine00 million dollars condition be solved through the

art's commission. and how we work with the city is important, too. on the flip side i'm noticing our budget ecspend tours are going down by 2 million dollars. it is sen and a half % in the 15%. i'm curious if how that squares given the -- desire from the mayor's office for 15%. i'm not advocating for additional cuts at this moment. i'm wondering how you are think burglar that i'm curious. >> sure. the budget proposal you see today does -- meet the

directive. the directive is to reduce general fund spending by 15%. our general fund budget fall koren to the earlier conversation that we don't vice president to cut as much if we had a birth budget of what a silver lining. this proposal does meet that target. >> thank you that's an personal thing for all of us and the public that is the difference. thank you. thank you. this is all very new to me. and -- thank you for my colleagues for teaching me. the twhoon is grant.

is any of nafederal government grant. >> fortunately very small aim. >> i believe we had -- a -- 25 or 50 thousand dollars nea grant. i think we may not have assume today in the fiscal 27. those grants are -- largely the melon grant we received. >> thank you. why other comments. mii ask for a motion. i like to ask for a motion to

approve the proposed fiscal 25-26 and 26-27 art commission budget. knowing this is proposed and there will be revisionss we move through the finalization expect in the july. of this year. >> so moved. beltran. >> second. >> schnair. >> is there public comment on the budget discussion? is there anyone withhold like to comment on the current item? >> public comment is closed. >> now the motion all in favor? >> aye >> opposed >> motion is approved

announcements. commissioner schnair. >> so, i will try to sum this up quickly as i can. >> a couple of mf a's from act started and -- several year ago their own production company. call teleconscious collective about bringing stories to the front than i felt were important for people to here in terms of inspect films. they asked my husband and i to get involveod producing a film they had seen it was just shown at sun dance. and the director just won best director award. so. and it is coming to the san francisco festival in april. and once i get date for the viewing of this i will let

everyone know. but it is -- a potent story about called ricky. and it is a very potent story about a young man come out of prison when he is 30 gone in at 15 and getting his life back together at that point. it is moving and poent. and he is being taughted now as this young new exciting director. so. this is our first time out and think we did well. i encourage to you see it. >> all right. >> the most important thing is that more important announce am is coming from commissioner brenzel. >> drum roll. >> i wanted to announce that the san francisco symphony chorus,

>> [music] you are watching golden gate inventions with michael. this is episode exploring the excelsior. >> hi i'm michael you are watching golden gate inventions highlighting urban out doors we are in the excelsior. pickleball. let's play pickleball! pickleball is an incredited low popular sport growing nationwide. pickleball combines tennis, bad mitton and ping pong. playod a bad mitton sized court with paddle and i plasticic ball. starting out is easy. you can pick up paddle and balls for 20 buck and it is suitable

ball player its is difficult but fun. thank you for joining me in the excelsior this is goldenate adventures.

>> i don't think you need to be an expert to look around and see the increasing frequency of fires throughout california. they are continuing at an ever-increasing rate every summer, and as we all know, the drought continues and huge shortages of water right now. i don't think you have to be an expert to see the impact. when people create greenhouse gases, we are doing so by different activities like burning fossil fuels and letting off carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and we also do this with food waste. when we waste solid food and leave it in the landfill, it puts methane gas into the atmosphere and that accelerates the rate at which we are warming our planet and makes all the effects of climate change worse. the good news is there are a lot

of things that you can be doing, particularly composting and the added benefit is when the compost is actually applied to the soil, it has the ability to reverse climate change by pulling carbon out of the atmosphere and into the soil and the t radios. and there is huge amount of science that is breaking right now around that. >> in the early 90s, san francisco hired some engineers to analyze the material san francisco was sending to landfill. they did a waste characterization study, and that showed that most of the material san francisco was sending to landfill could be composted. it was things like food scraps, coffee grounds and egg shells and sticks and leaves from gardening. together re-ecology in san francisco started this curbside composting program and we were the first city in the country to

collect food scraps separately from other trash and turn them into compost. it turns out it was one of the best things we ever did. it kept 2.5 million tons of material out of the landfill, produced a beautiful nutrient rich compost that has gone on to hundreds of farms, orchards and vineyards. so in that way you can manage your food scraps and produce far less methane. that is part of the solution. that gives people hope that we're doing something to slow down climate change. >> i have been into organic farming my whole life. when we started planting trees, it was natural to have compost from re-ecology. compost is how i work and the soil biology or the microbes feed the plant and our job as regenerative farmers is to feed the microbes with compost and they will feed the plant.

it is very much like in business where you say take care of your employees and your employees will take carolinas of your customers. the same thing. take care of the soil microbes and soil life and that will feed and take care of the plants. >> they love compost because it is a nutrient rich soil amendment. it is food for the soil. that is photosynthesis. pulling carbon from the atmosphere. pushing it back into the soil where it belongs. and the roots exude carbon into the soil. you are helping turn a farm into a carbon sink. it is an international model. delegations from 135 countries have come to study this program. and it actually helped inspire a new law in california, senate bill 1383. which requires cities in california to reduce the amount of compostable materials they send to landfills by 75% by 2025. and san francisco helped inspire this and this is a

nation-leading policy. >> because we have such an immature relationship with nature and the natural cycles and the carbon cycles, government does have to step in and protect the commons, which is soil, ocean, foryes, sir, and so forth. -- forest, and so fors. we know that our largest corporations are a significant percentage of carbon emission, and that the corporate community has significant role to play in reducing carbon emissions. unfortunately, we have no idea and no requirement that they disclose anything about the carbon footprint, the core operation and sp360 stands for the basic notion that large corporations should be transparent about the carbon footprint. it makes all the sense in the world and very common sense but is controversial. any time you are proposing a policy that is going to make real change and that will change behavior because we know that

when corporations have to disclose and be transparent and have that kind of accountability, there is going to be opposition. >> we have to provide technical assistance to comply with the state legislation sb1383 which requires them to have a food donation program. we keep the edible food local. and we are not composting it because we don't want to compost edible food. we want that food to get eaten within san francisco and feed folks in need. it is very unique in san francisco we have such a broad and expansive education program for the city. but also that we have partners in government and nonprofit that are dedicated to this work. at san francisco unified school district, we have a sustainability office and educators throughout the science department that are building it into the curriculum. making it easy for teachers to

teach about this. we work together to build a pipeline for students so that when they are really young in pre-k, they are just learning about the awe and wonder and beauty of nature and they are connecting to animals and things they would naturally find love and affinity towards. as they get older, concepts that keep them engaged like society and people and economics. >> california is experiencing many years of drought. dry periods. that is really hard on farms and is really challenging. compost helps farms get through these difficult times. how is that? compost is a natural sponge that attracts and retains water. and so when we put compost around the roots of plants, it holds any moisture there from rainfall or irrigation. it helps farms make that corner and that helps them grow for food. you can grow 30% more food in times of drought in you farm

naturally with compost. farms and cities in california are very hip now to this fact that creating compost, providing compost to farms helps communities survive and get through those dry periods. >> here is the thing. soil health, climate health, human health, one conversation. if we grow our food differently, we can capture all that excess carbon in the atmosphere and store it in unlimited quantities in the soil, that will create nutrient dense foods that will take care of most of our civilized diseases. so it's one conversation. people have to understand that they are nature. they can't separate. we started prowling the high plains in the 1870s and by the 1930s, 60 year, we turned it into a dust bowl. that is what ignorance looks like when you don't pay attention to nature. nature bats last. so people have to wake up. wake up. compost.

>> it is really easy to get frustrated because we have this belief that you have to be completely sustainable 24/7 in all aspects of your life. it is not about being perfect. it is about making a change here, a change there in your life. maybe saying, you know what? i don't have to drive to that particular place today. today i am going to take the bus or i'm going to walk. it is about having us is stainable in mind. that is -- it is about having sustainability in mind. that is how we move the dial. you don't have to be perfect all the time. >> san francisco has been and will continue to be one of the greener cities because there are communities who care about protecting a special ecosystem and habitat. thinking about the history of the ohlone and the native and indigenous people who are stewards of this land from that history to now with the ambitious climate action plan we just passed and the goals we have, i think we have a

dedicated group of people who see the importance of this place. and who put effort into building an infrastructure that actually makes it possible. >> we have a long history starting with the gold rush and the anti-war activism and that is also part of the environmental movement in the 60s and 70s. and of course, earth day in 1970 which is huge. and i feel very privileged to work for the city because we are on such a forefront of environmental issues, and we get calls from all over the world really to get information. how do cities create waste programs like they do in san francisco. we are looking into the few which you are and we want innovation. we want solutions.

>> are you looking for a rewarding career and eager to acquire skills that can unlock new job opportunities? what if quou can receive training for free? exciting prospects are waiting for you. offering through economgic workforce development, the hospitality initiative prepares participants in hospitality. no experience is necessary. explore training and services in the restaurant industry for food and beverage careers including chefs, line cooks, bartenders andber easters and [indiscernible] service industry careers [indiscernible] housekeeper maintenance manager security guard and more. class are taught in english, spanish,s cantonese and mandarin. connect to job opportunities throughout

the city. elevate your skills. ignite your passion and embark on a journey of growth. to get started, visit >> we do in a way which is

exciting engaging-the idea is bring the stories to life, because they are so relevant to the questions we all are asking today about where we belong, who are we, who do wree want to be. we wanted to be do something about food, because it is such a wonderful entrance. to get people to think what are these cultures, how did they come about and how do i relate to them. we can't live the idea [indiscernible] >> there is hundreds if not thousands of immigrants kitchens and we wanted to show how immigration from 1849 through now the different dishes bought here and how it shaped the culture of the city. . not the thing we have to sit down and read for hours and hours, but you get a 2 and a half minute story and the feeling you can eat those foods

and never get a dish the same way again. you have the context. >> we decided to set an journey across the city. the result is [indiscernible] >> san francisco is a place where there are so many different immigrants communities. we are a sanctuary city, a welcoming place to be and the melting spot is a great to get out and explore the city, the history and how we got to have some of the best cuisine in the country and maybe even the entire world. >> my mother and myself and two sisters--we had to leave quick. my mom had one hour to pack and gather her things and gather her kids and head to the airport and

evacuate. we found ourself in san francisco. my grand mother was already here. that is why san francisco was the destination for us. it goes back to my grand mother and who loved to travel and she was also very afraid of the war going on in vietnam. she came to san francisco and she kind of fell in love with the sitdy. city. she visited the italian deli by oakland beach because she loved the beach and met the owner and the owner told her that this place is for sale and she decided this is her opportunity to stay in san francisco and her dream to be a business owner and open a restaurant. >> i was born [indiscernible] i graduated from a french program

culinary school, then i [indiscernible] at that time, we had college of san mateo in the back yard and had a program for foreign students and we got together and went to the american embassy and this woman welcomed us and she gave both. it is not [indiscernible] and then after that i got accepted and [indiscernible] ended up in san francisco where i had friends so i came to college of san mateo. from there, i transferred to chico state college, so i graduated there and that is when my culinary adventure started. i love cooking and also remind me of my childhood mptd

>> my father had a dream and grit and determination. worked very very hard. to me, food is one of the most readily accessible to understanding a culture. i don't think many people have the opportunity to travel to armenia or lebanon. we are lucky in the city, the abundance of asian cuisines and [indiscernible] restaurants are in many ways an opportunity to engage with another culture through food. >> my grand father had his backyard you name it, we had it. [indiscernible] but my grandma's cookie the memories of the [indiscernible] very powerful. when you channel these memories

there is a image because it is a experience all 5 senses get if to it. i think that is why city is so important for immigrants. the first thing you [indiscernible] we got to eat. you got to nourish the body and you remember and i went from memory really. >> i remember my grand mother telling me stories that when she first opened in 1971, people really didn't know much about vietnamese food and she started selling the italian deli food and half the food and half vietnamese food and she stands in the corner trying to pass samples just to lur customers into the restaurant and try vietnamese food. i think when you enter a new place and you have your family and you have each other and food is what holds

your family together. at least for my family for sure, that is the time we get to enjoy food, make connections, bond, sit together and be together. i just remember my grand mother and mom working hard all the time and once a week we would have family dinners. we gather and she would cook the food. all the kids we always look forward to that. my grand mother coming in 1971, she brought vietnamese food in san francisco. we are one of the first vietnamese arrest raunt restaurant in san francisco. >> for san francisco to have this map and look at all the people who

came here and made things you can only find in sf. we are the place to get a mission burete. burrito. that could be overlooked and not seen [indiscernible] >> important because it highlights the san francisco, the diversity for each restaurant and each spot on the map to share their story through food they serve to diners. i think it is special way to highlight the welcomeness and the [indiscernible] san francisco community is bay area has. >> it is one of the project that is so uniquely san francisco that speaks to the long history of immigration and cuisine the city has been known

for. the melting spot allows the small businesses that have been around for a while to really shine with their own unique stories and flavors and so we really love it. the ecosystem in san francisco is very unique and very welcoming of immigrants and immigrant initiatives. san francisco choice to honor us with the legacy business recognition really shows their support of small local businesses. >> a legacy business is a business that has been around and open in san francisco for at least 30 years. legacy businesses are the most foundational businesses in our neighborhood corridors. they provided services and a place for community to gather for often times for generations. they are really part of the culturally fabric that makes san francisco neighborhoods so unique. >> the idea is take what i

think is [indiscernible] about immigration, about belonging, about some of the amazing history of the city. [indiscernible] gov good afterm

going to call us to order. >> could we have a roll call please? president stacey you're vice president are say here commissioner gender here commissioner leave aroney you have a quorum thank you. before calling the first item i'd like to announce that the san francisco public utilities commission acknowledges that it owns and are stewards of the unceded lands located
