european lawmakers are aware of the harmful effects s.f. 6 can have they've already prohibited its use in the production of tires and soundproof windows now there are calls to ban the gas and switch gear to the plant is due to publish a report on possible alternatives in the 1st half of 2020. shallow to who see as a consultant who has coauthored a study of sulfur hexafluoride and switchgear she says a major barrier to moving away from the gas is cost. switchgear is designed to last for more than 40 years. so for a great operator that has just installed say 3 or 4 new units it would be unbelievably expensive to say ok we're going to remove the switchgear that was supposed to last for 4 decades and replace them with s.f. 6 free switchgear that through a 6 fireside it's only fair that the parties involved be granted a transition period of time that i threw out in. june and wants to lead the way his idea has already attracted several 1000000 euros from investors and the technology behind it has won awards. at a test center outside the western german city of deuce book one power company as

a gas called sulfur hexafluoride s f 6 as an insulator and that poses a major environmental problem s.f. 6 is the most potent greenhouse gas in the world. if you take one to know 4 as of 662-3500 tons so for. what it means is. it's not only that it's $25.00 and more effective in creating global warming but it's also a very long week and the reason is there is no natural saying. if you take c o 2 that is plants which are solving it and that is a cycle which is happening and this cycle doesn't exist for as of 6 sulfur hexafluoride is a heavy in there and in combustible gas making it an effective and compact insulator the issue is according to scientists that there is always some leakage during the production of the gas during the use of the switchgear and after it's decommissioning releases of some 8000 tons of s.f. 6 into the atmosphere each year. although it's hugely damaging to the environment as step 6 barely features and public discussion companies that rely on it have a vested interest in keeping it that way. manjoo not wants to change his company has developed technology that enabl

i'm an s.f. resident and proud member of the s.f. bicycle coalition.trongly believe we need to expand car-free spaces not just on j.f.k. drive but in golden gate park in general. we should absolutely do that after the shelter in place is lifted but i also think that we should consider doing it now to give more space to folks who need to get outside, either for mental health or get to an essential job in a responsible way. as someone who bikes regularly throughout the park, i've been harassed by drivers asking me to stay in the bike lane, which on most parts of the j.f.k. drive isn't even a bike lane, it is a parking lane and i've been passed by cars spaoing through the park wrecklessly. the difference [inaudible] and we need to open up the park like that every day. i know that there are some concerns about access for folks with disabilities and i absolutely believe that we should and can take appropriate steps to ensure that the park is accessible to folks throughout the city, including those with mobile disabilities. but evidently the way to make that

our hope s.f. sites. we have been working along with the s.f.p.d. to distribute face coverings and information about social distancing. working in partnership with our communities, our street violence prevention program and our faith-based leaders. today we delivered over a thousand face coverings in the tenderloin and the western edition. this week we will work in partnership with s.f.p.d. to do some caravans, to distribute face coverings, to share information about social distancing, and working with trusted messengers to share that message. we have been supplying essential household needs directly to community to minimize the time they have to spend outside. as the mayor mentioned, we've been giving gift cards out to families and working with seniors so they can purchase things online using those cards. we've been developing distance learning materials and distributing thousands of books, computers, and activity sheets throughout communities that have not only been hit by coronavirus, but prior to this pandemic and having this shelter in place we

our s.f. counts communication strategy started back in the summer where we've informed people what is the census, why we do it, and so on. the toolkits are available to all of our nonprofit organizations, and anywhere we go, we make these available, with inclusive languages. they're available in spanish, russian, chinese, and filipino. we're on the second round of our outreach collateral to motivate people to action and participate in the census, and those will be in a lot more languages than the ones listed here? i want to share some digital tools that we've been building around the census. the first is working with the digital services team from the city and county doing census page, sf.gov/census. this is fully accessible, and it's written at a fifth grade level, so it's accessible to all of our residents. we've also made an s.f. counts website, sfcounts.org. all of our census centers, and all organizations that have opted into this are providing census help starting in march where anyone i

report i'm in s.f. has been following the story and is here to talk it through with us i mean what's been the reaction to captain crotchets dismissal frankly his crew seems heartbroken that he's been dismissed he had become something of a legend among his crew members for standing up for them there are currently over 150 confirmed cases of covert 1000 on that ship so people are getting worried and you can see that in the way that they support him here's a tweet from somebody on the ship said that i would cherish the moment for the rest of my life he was a great commanding officer here's a person who she is a wife of somebody who's on the ship and said that she wants to thank him for saving her husband's life so these are life and death turns there and he was seen as somewhat of a hero you also had politicians coming out in support of. unlike bernie sanders and joe biden and the navy has actually started to evacuate the ship which is what he had called for so they've evacuated $1500.00 people so it seems

i'm an s.f. resident and a former business owner. some of you may know me as the cofounder of undiscovered s.f. creative night market, also run an event planning committee. prior to starting my company, i was also director of a non-profit dance organization in soma, where organized dance workshops and classes at city dance, as well as annual shows at the regency ballroom. i'm also a dancer myself. i've been dancing since my high school days at shcp. of course, i'm heavily involved with soma programming. in addition to undiscovered, i also run a non-profit, which is dedicated to building strong and empowered filipino community in the bay area. i'm also a recent partner in the new creative project, which is working on building programming to build the future filipino-american arts and cultural center in soma. and through my work, i've been really excited about this important work we've been doing around trauma-informed systems. and how to address community trauma by creating organizations and programs. so i now apply the t.i.f. work in

today we're highlighting the issues at s.f.eneral, but we could have easily spent more days raising concerns about staffing and preparedness at laguna honda hospital, the community clinic, public health, mental health. i will share for you at laguna honda, for example, they are so woefully understaffed that it has now become a safety risk for both patient and staff. the problem also is that when a staff member is hurt by a patient or hurt in the facility, it is treated with scant regard and there is no outcome -- no good outbreaking for that staff member. in fact, usually the blame is placed on the employee as opposed to the employer. d.p.h. management has known for years about inadequate staffing and its effect on patient care and workplace safety, yet the problem continues. we will now pass -- ask sasha, one of our d.p.h. nurses to speak. >> thank you, supervisors. i'm a registered nurse and i was at san francisco general hospital until i was -- i was -- my position was eliminated because they weren't happy with me speaking a

so in terms of s.f. access in covid-19, we're still providing door-to-door service, prescheduled one to seven days in advance. many people are going to dialysis and have a standing ride. it covers the entire city, including daly city, three quarters of a mile around the bart station. and we're encouraging people to only take essential trips, just like all of us. we minimized the van capacity to make sure that there's social distancing and we're not taking more than two riders per van. and we're providing masks to all of the drivers and p.p.e. and the vehicles are cleaned significantly with significant cleaning every night. group van where groups of people are going to one location, like an adult day health care center or a seniors' center, those services were operating for the first few weeks for some agencies. but all of the agencies now have closed their doors. and so during shelter-in-place, the group van services are not happening any longer. in terms of tax service, we're providing same-day on-deman

a couple of questions, if anyone wants to reach out to the s.f. chamber of commerce, there were a couple of questions that were raised that i have specific answers to and can help direct the info i got. but i just want to keep working on this. of course we know that the journey is not over until we get there. thank you all. operator: you have one question remaining. >> caller: hi. this is jennifer. i wanted to ask where can we find the memo to speaker pelosi, the commissioner referenced? i tried to go on to the [inaudible] website and uld continue find it f. you can give the link, that would be great. my second question is, i know there is a [inaudible] moratorium for small businesses. i was wondering can small businesses get late fees for also being unable to make rent and is there anything that is in the works to help with that for -- you know, is there a [inaudible] for how much they can charge small business owners because they're getting charged 10% for late [inaudible] and i don't know if that is allowed or what is the cap. thank you. >> tha

according to s.f. residential design guidelines, in order to maintain the visual interest of the neighborhood, it is important that new designs and renovations of existing buildings fit in with surrounding buildings. also because of the unique split level in our street, this will be felt stronger on our side of the street than for people walking and driving on the west side of the street. liberty street consists of two lanes set at different levels. contrary to the staff conclusion, we believe unique topography will be impacted by the proposed addition. the proposed addition will be more visible than it would be on a flat street. the unique topography of liberty presents exceptional circumstances which requires d.r. to be taken by the commission. this may also set a precedent for other people on the block to break in the mass harmony on our
