requirements and guidelines for the seismic design of new tall buildings using non predescriptive seismic design procedures. these guidelines mandated third party reviews for all new tall buildings. develop with the structural engineers association of northern california. since may of 2017 at director huey's request, building safety reviews for tall building. still in draft form and expected to be submitted to director hui by 2018, improvements include... broadening the scope of the regulations beyond the current structural design with more comprehensive structural engineering design review with geotechnical and seismic hazard mitigations. tightening technical qualifications that the expert involve in the tall building review must be a licensed california geotechnical engineer or licensed civil california engineer with expertise. beginning another effort to work separately to improve or work on ab083. we expect that to be coming next year. in june 2017, d.b.i. distributed a request for qualification, rfq to create a pool of academic seismic experts to draw upon as needed for future tall b

if we have a building who -- might be performance based or predescriptive, we have controls in place recommending a large building concrete that's heavy or whatever. is that correct? >> yes. that's the number sat information sheet. it's very inclusive and there are a lot more conditions in there. there are many conditions related to that. >> perfect. thank you. appreciate that. commissioner. >> do we at this point account for cumulative effects on adjoining buildings. >> now you have forced me to read a couple items. so a few of the bull it points are -- considering land slides and other geotechnical site hazards. >> can we get you up on the screen? >> this is s-18. interim guidelines structural technical design review for new tall buildings. these are the bullet items i wanted to respond to -- i'll just read them. soil foundation structure under static that is gravity and seismic conditions. liquid factions, land slides and other geological site hazards. ground improvement, effects of the watering on the project site and vicinity. foundation performance of neighboring structures. so

feet of the proposed cannabis businesses, and the objective of that is we wanted to not be super predescriptive, but that the cannabis business does respond to the needs of the community or community concerns in that place, and then one or more of the following which is committing to technical assistance and businessmen toring business mentoring by an equity operator. >> so this gets to another part of this legislation, which is about colocation of businesses, so are we going to allow colocations. >> so that was an amendment that the supervisor introduced today, a colocation amendment, which allows for multiple business -- multiple retail businesses to be on the same premise, as long as they have at least 300 -- or no more than 350 square feet. >> multiple retail businesses? 'cause the important thing, actually, here is colocation for -- well, neighbor for retail businesses, but equally important, if not more important, is colocation of manufacturing businesses, because like a shared kitchen, they need to share -- they need to share the -- the capital assets required to formulate, cook, run a b

this process is not predescriptive, but it helps bring to light important issues such as the sustainability of banks' business models in a low rate environment and their operating costs in comparison with their peers let me conclude. now three years into the life of the european banking supervisor and the track record so far is encourageaging those the single supervisor is still a young and developing institution, it has in many ways lived up to the high expectations that accompanied its fan. rigorous and uniform supervisor has led to high levels of capital and a more resilient sector overall the credit risk of banks is now less determined by the credit risk of their country of establishment. let me just incidentally thank all the staff of the -- the fantastic work they've done in the last three years it's things that if you go back with hindsight, it would be unthinkable three years ago. so i think we all owe a debt of gratitude to them. healthier banks have in turn helps helped transmit the ecb's policy more thoroughly across the area leading to a stronger and broader recovery and the new

some of the same mistakes, you know, and understand how to live my life, but again it's not a predescriptivenstruction manual kind of thing. it's like listening to a song or understanding a sense of something intuitively, or something. or internaling something. >> rose: you say by writing, i mean not sitting down and writing everything out and tediously adding in images later, but allowing it all to happen at the same time, uncertainty, the way we remember life itself. with just as much overlap and exchange in our minds' eyewitnesses uh-huh. that's true. and i think in am couldics, that is what all writers do anyway even if they plot everything out. once they get down to the business of writing you're still filling in the cracks and there is a degree of improvisation that comes from the way one's brain is connected. it is a highly organized thing. the only organ that named itself. but as a cartoonist you have the added advantage of drawing and remembering at the same time am when you draw something that you have recalled, it remaineds you of something else and you actually enter that space o
