unfortunately it has significant seismic deficiencies. it poses significant life hazards to occupants in major earthquakes. i was told about certain chunks of the building that were very challenged in the 1999 earthquake. they are trying to make sure that no one gets hurt in that building in the future. then there is the current use of power that adds to the concerns we have. you will hear more in detail in a moment, but this would authorize the city to issue an amount not to exceed $170 million in participation to finance these improvements by the middle of 2015. i want to thank the office of public finance, capital planning, and memorial staff for their work so far. with that, i would like to ask for the presentation. supervisor chu: thank you. i believe that we have [unintelligible] for this item. >> good morning, supervisors. not to exceed 170 in terms of financial improvements on the building. i will speak specific to the certificate of certification. this requires the city to release the assets to the trustee. and then the asset goe

no damages were repaired, but it was also seismically impaired. the next earthquake could cause incredible damage in the building and, particularly, damaged the theater. the engineering reports that are mentioned in your document talk about the building on a three out of 4 scale. in discussions with the engineers, reports, testimonies, the issue of whether the building should have been closed was raised. they recommended, if the city had a plan to be -- rehabilitate the building, it would be safe to leave the building open until such time it was closed. if there was no plan, then the building should be closed and boarded up. today, we have a plan, one that is well conceived and well developed. although there is concern in the general public about the financing technique you are going to use, the alternative is to board up and close the building. that is with the engineering report basically says. if you have no plan, you should close the building. i would urge you to approve this and move on with this matter. supervisor chu: thank you. are there a

how did we seismically retrofit this 125-year-old structure? this 125-year-old structure? we installed a number of super

those areas are the seismic upgrade project and an area that relates to our water supply goals. now when we conducted geotech investigation to support the peninsula pipeline project, we found that we needed additional improvements, and some additions were made to the project to address some of vulnerability in addition to liquefaction. we also note it is also possible additional pipeline work will need to be required in the city, but that has yet to be verified. veep improvements that we know are needed to increase -- improvements that we know are needed to increase reliability, if more work is found to be required to meet the goals, that work would be done as part of the ongoing water enterprise cip. questions have been raised whether changes we're asking you to approve would impede our ability to meet goals, in particular those associated with water supply. in short, there is nothing from today's action that should affect water supply goals or our commitment to meet these goals. however, we also reported to you that in order for us to participate in our larger projects, we hav

how did we seismically retrofit this 125-year-old structure? we installed a number of super frames to support the roof structure. we added multiple sheer walls and stained -- and frames. we also drilled 500 miles through the bottom of the reservoir to anchor it to the bedrock to prevent it from sliding. we completely sealed and waterproofed the roof. with all of these upgrades completed, this reservoir will be possible of heating be -- feeding the entire city following a major earthquake. be completed some improvements to the inlet-outlet piping of the reservoir that will allow us to backseat our transmission system so that customers in the upper peninsula do receive water following an emergency. i am really proud of the hard work of our project team. there to be commended for successfully delivering the project and also for their dedication to the program. i also wanted to highlight the pretty impressive track record of the regional project manager, howard fung. job well done, howard. [applause] thank you. >> thank you. just to make sure we un

its seismic upgrades. extremelif you know me, one of my passions is to be sure we are ready for the next earthquake. for folks who could not move elsewhere, to feel safe in the building they were a part of, helped to contribute to making seismically safe, and our earnings and ability to have earthquake insurance cover them, we have a fantastic story to tell here. in addition, it has added 105 units to the whole 10-year end homeless program that we committed to. this helps to achieve 1800 units of those 3000 that we committed to building. i am sure the people that helped us write the program would be proud. these units are not just high places for people. it is also a service. services from our department of public health and from the human services agency. a collaboration that this building represents. we have a lot to celebrate because not only is it a complex thing to do, in a needy community, but it accomplishes so many other goals that the city has articulated that are really important. i look forward

they will be looking for major seismic faults and if they don't have it, that would require the owner of the property to bring in an engineer to actually do a seismic assessment of the building. >> thank you. >> any further commissioner comments? item sixc -- 6 itemc. . >> we have some issues we are working through and our city attorney -- we still hope to have the beginning of the project in the beginning of september. >> let me backtrack for a moment. this we did not receive any public comment on the proposed legislation? >> at the call for public comment? it was suggested we do it all at the end. >> thank you. >> i have a question on the permit tracking system. are other departments involved to make sure reading lines up? >> yes. the initial implementation of the system will be with planning and dbi. more than once a day, we need several times a week. they're very involved. >> what are we going to have it up and running? >> the rfp was a 24 month project. that would be two years from september 1st. there is a possibility they could get it sooner, but the project is for 24 months. >

the studies involve heavy trucks that will use sound generating air guns to map the seismic faults in the region. they will lower the guns on the pavement and sensors will record echoes. they will spend five minutes doing that then go 100 to 300 feet down the road to do it again. >> it's like when the recycle trucks come through your neighborhood you know it's there. you know it's out there but it's not in front of your house for too long. >> some officials are not happy with the program. >>> john san & johnson is changing the maximum daily dose of one of its popular projects. they are changing the labels on the extra strength tylenol packages to show six pills are the most an adult can take in one day. that is down from eight. tylenol will be in stores sometime this fall. the company says it wants to reduce the risk of overdoses which can happen if people are also taking prescription medications that contain the same activity ingredients. >>> bart riders will not be able to bring their bikes on trains. bart rejected the proposal saying there is not enough room to accommodate bikes du

. >> about the seismic activity can you walk us through how seismic integration will be an activity by exporters will be approved after the reorganization takes place. >> sure, because that's on the analysis of the resource side of a critique the ocean management. so again, that's not a function that's going to be split, that's one that is clearly and uniquely so it will not be adversely affected or slowed down. it won't be impaired at all, it will be allowed to go forward just as it has in the past. >> if i can get a further clarification under the reorganization the production plant management will be under boem, permitting the or the environmental review ct technical environmental review of plans will be done under bsef? >> the environmental -- >> according to the flow chart -- >> i don't have it in front of me, the environmental with respect to the plans will be done in boem. and in fact, boem will be the agency with by far the bulk of the environmental review. the only exception to that is in environmental enforcement, and because that is an important matter, that will be handled.
