went through the mayor's office on disability, and carla and joanna, and heather, you tried. you tried. i am looking here at this absolutely wonderful letter over carla's signature and everybody else, her crew and it has it right there. what did cindy shamban not see and i'm talking about the first paragraph that has maybe four sentences in it. of course, she, meaning carla, acknowledges the folsom street fair accessibility fair and the folsom street event, so we're real clear about the transparency of doing it on tv. i am writing -- cindy had 30 days to respond to me, an illness befell her and she missed her deadline. next thing i know, mayor's office on disability is supposed to respond, which is kind of, sort of, liability, not a good thing. but we'll overlook that for now. this is just amazing. so it's in regards -- it's 4/17/2013 complaint regarding path of travel obstructions that you have observed during the folsom street fair. i spelled folsom street and up your alley, over the past eight years, you got that right. thank you. that is the good news. in your complaint,

so you're probably all familiar with the wonderful job that carla's group did putting this together with photos and materials and any question that a property owner or operator could think of asking. they covered most of it, at least 99.9 percent of that. we get to come up with a survey and i have the housing inspectors to go out and there and take photos and give carla information so they can prop out what we're going to see. we continue the outreach and to encourage the property owners to put these in and also that is also included attending the senior and disability action monthly meeting. we have supervisor mar here for the building inspection commission who may want to say something about that. he's been supportive of this and he's been attending those meeting and i will let you know that the housing inspectors as they're constantly in the residential hotels on a day to day basis, we're seeing the grab bars installed and if you see any problems then we're work with the property owner and the building inspector to make sure we continue this progress so when september 4th comes, which

carla bryant? >> no she is not a current member. >> not as a member. >> not as a member, but as an official member representing the district. >> what is it that you need to know? what are the answers? >> what i need to know is what i am trying to get to is the balance of the representation on the cpac and if there are different divisions that we are allocating out, how many of those seats are rotating? verses people staying? seats, or you know going into different categories and then being on the cpac for you know ten or 15 or 20 years, verses having some diversity on the commission which includes representation on the early ed side as well as child care side as well as, you know, all of the different folks that make-up the cpac. and so again, you know, we just have never been engaged to question who comes to us and it comes to us in a slate. which means that you know, we are approving a group of folks without having really had the opportunity that you know the folks that are going to, that we as a

and the next is we will hear a report from the instrum director, carla. >> before i start my director's report today i would actually like to invite wendy james up to the podium because i know that she would like to address the council this afternoon and i thank you for that. >> good afternoon council. i'd like to read my letter that i wrote to the mayor. it's stated july 19th, deal mayor lee, it's with great regret that i submit to you my resignation from mayor's disability council mdc effective july 16th, 2013. under your leadership i served on the council for two years. most recently as cochair. san francisco has a rich history of including people with disabilities in a wide array of engagement. i feel that my personal contribution to the ndc has to bring inside into the unique challenges people with multiple disabilities -- visible disabilities including mental health among others. i am especially appreciative of the opportunity given to me to explore my potential and to develop my leadership and communication skill. i have the greatest respect and appreciation for my fellow members

we're here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco and joined by carla, the deputy director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why it's important to san francisco. >> as you know the bay area as 63% chance of having a major earthquake and it's serious and going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in san francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this mean for us? part of what it means is that potentially 25% of san francisco's building stock will be uninhibit tabl and people can't stay in their homes after an earthquake. they may have to go to shelters or leave entirely and we don't want that to happen. >> we want a building stock to encourage them to stay in the homes and encourage them to stay and not relocate to other locations and shelters. >> that's right so that means the housing needs to be safe enough to stay and we have been focused in trying to define what that means and you as a former building official knows better than anybody the c
