one is the issue of tenant noticing regarding our seismic upgrade programs. if i could request that staff and our tenant outreach organizations that we work with with our code enforcement outreach program to come up with some ideas for making sure that as was always stated in our public comment that tenants aren't in advertently affected a program that we think shouldn't affect tenants, especially around evictions or relocating, that we have a noticing policy that provides more access to information and assistance and connection to our outreach programs to guide people through that. both the landlords and our tenants that are involved. so i'd like to see that on the next agenda if we could. and i also -- i than the president will also bring this up. this issue of modular housing, it's really up because people are looking to it as a way of containing the time constraints and costs of building much-needed housing but we do need to do it in a way that doesn't create two sets of housing, those that are safe and those that are not so safe, so we need to make sure

we've initiated the seismic assessment methodology approach for both the flooding and the seismic. we actually have presented some preliminary approach to the seism seismic peer review panels and we've gotten some feedback that we're going to be incorporating that. we'll be developing -- we're in the process of developing a gif asset inventory for not only the economic analysis that will help drive our analysis of the direct and indirect consequences that are eventually monetized but that will be used for compiling all of the data for geotechnical investigation, drawings, data and studies that will be a part of our deliverables, and then, that can be used in the future for further work. and we've developed draft reports for the infrastructure systems and exposure analysis, so this is to facilitate the conversations with the city departments and understanding the vulnerablities of their systems and what those consequences are. and then we've developed a gif data standard so that all of our team members are using the same standards and that we're providing you with a quality product.

active in the union and is now the most seismically active in the low 48.we have relative scientific certainty to sort of suggest or even argue that the overwhelming majority are caused as a result of wastewater injection happens. so they inject super high pressure. it is as well as the water that they inject it into huge amount of salt water that exists from when that area was covered by a shallow agency and they bring all this wastewater up and then depending where you are in the country is either settling in the pools if you are in a place that pennsylvania or oklahoma that is reinjected into these wells and changes the pressure of defaults that were already primed to get up. they are dealing with the shallow earthquakes that sounds like bombs going off and one family was a survivor of nuremberg and he fought in the korean war as they both said those situations were less terrifying and unsettling for us. i sat on the patio for three hours and heard these explosions that do minimal damage and cracked foundations and lost a few plates off. it's become to h

do we have to work different hours or serve different hours to allow for the seismic upgrades. we let you know i don't have that information myself. i asked the staff to dig into that literally and figuratively. >> i appreciate the assurance of all of our clinics. we want to be sure we suddenly don't have a disruption of service as we do our due diligence. >> thank you, director. on a quarterly basis we expect to receive a report from both i think the university's progress and of course our own more detailed report on the work on our bond issue. >> absolutely. thank you. >> no public commit. comment. thank you very much. congratulations to the university on getting its approvals for the well needed knowledge. you have been working on it 10 years. some of us discussed it for longer. we are gratified that this is finally coming to fruition. thank you. >> item 9 is the bylaw revision. to note this was discussed early in a robust discussion at it was approved at the october 24, 2017 meeting. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am chief of the until staff bringing to the commission

it's seismic. i don't know how much is deferred maintenance for the port, but we say, this is not an exhaustive list, but these are some things that you might want to consider. we take no responsibility, but we might want to advise you of a future risk. so typically, there's maybe eight changes in law -- i mean, there's kind of standard ones that we provide. >> i think all the rest of my questions have been covered, but thank you. >> thank you. commissioner adams? [ inaudible ] >> -- i look forward to you coming back and educating us some more and stuff, so i really appreciate you making it he ve very simple. you're very articulate. >> thank you, mark. your presentation was very good, and i think staff made some great comments. i think you have to update us on your continual conditions, whether it be biannually or annually. i think we need the budget so we can see how it all works together, so hopefully, we will get that. thank you, mark. >> thank you. >> thank you, mark. the second part of my pres

if we put that outward of the bulkheads, that could provide the seismic bracing for the piers.no idea how politically that will fly, whether we can get that through bcdc, but it's a great idea. and i think maybe if we had a big ideas competition, we might be able to come up with others. >> that is a great recommendation. >> thank you. brenda richardson. >> good afternoon, commissioners and my points that i want to make is to thank him for his leadership and very instrumental in keeping everybody in line and making sure that we stay focused on the the task and the task we were given. and the first meeting i listened to commissioner adams where he made it clear that the exercise we were about to undertake. was to think outside the box. it is their product and it came up. in doing it -- and i've been doing a lot of these. this was the most civil, the most rational -- probable reply not the right word, but the best process i have encountered over the years and the staff is having a great vote of confidence. i want to add in a note of caution. there was a considerable amount of disc

we'll make seismic improvements as we go along, but the seismic risk of the northern waterfront is especially critical. >> especially critical because of the amount ofinfrastructure that sits over the soil protected by the seawall. >> [inaudible] >> there is seismic risk in southern waterfront. there is not the -- >> i'm trying to figure out how we can move this along together. so that we are looking at the total port and not pushing one part out to a city study versus what we're focused on. i'm trying to figure out how we can come along the same path to make sure we're getting the same results. >> so, one of the outcomes in this planning phase under the alternative development portion can have one of the outcome is tools and process for portwide applications. we're going to get information out of it that is beneficial for down there. and development form seismic sie assessment for the southern waterfront. >> i hope we call it the "port" not here and there. >> port. >> the waterfront. >> and then to go back to your point around sea level rise and earthquakes, we've got usgs, we have a 70% pro

this a some pot a curve of raw material cost is zero and that's highly deflationary isn't that a seismic change in economics and the models that have been looked at and examined now for two hundred years dr watson yes i have to admit you're right it is a seismic change and it's a race to the bottom and it goes hand in hand with the occasion you're seeing so to the extent that. the artificial intelligence doesn't mean higher quality of life it may very well mean the kind of managerial program that's what you know it results in a lower quality of life for most people just like drivers earn less than the minimum wage people going to work for amazon are notoriously. short lived where they're burned out it's. a place where the workers apparently you know. are feeling pretty exploited so right into this mix donald trump is coming out and saying hey you know we're going to put some extra tax dollars in your pocket the form of cash we're going to we're going to bring tariffs on to give steel workers some high wage jobs and you know this is a vote winner and against a backdrop of fear the average

but seismic also is required for wind. seismic should be required in many cases as for mining. and the argument is that seismic is object instructive. a lot of coast, particularly on east coast and the gulf rely heavily on reclamation done by offshore mining on federal land. i can tell from you a geologist, offshore mining of sand is enormously destructive environmentally in comparison to seismic. so mize miseismic is not necess precursor to oil and gas. the other side is i'm confident we have oil and gas reserves onshore to meet our country's needs. i'm pretty confident we do. but also part of my response as interior is we should know what our reserves are as a country. and seismic using best science i think is appropriate. there are places where seismic is not in the interest of taxpayer expenditures, particularly if the geology would suggest there's no oil and gas. and so then would you do point seismic if you're going to put a wind field out there, given that the design of the wind field also affects fishing. so we got to be smarter about how we put our wind apparatuses and

our west of the mississippi and that isn't necessarily because west of the mississippi is more seismicallypredisposed but it's because we have done more research and so when youpr talko the u.s. geologists and seismologists they say if you want to be really terrified to thin,think about earthquake potl in thed, northeast. we don't know anything about that and basically that's because when you think about it, earthquakes are happening 5 miles, 30 miles under the surface of the earth. we don'the know when and where they are going to happen if we can't anticipate them and get technology to measure them so all we can really do is postmortem after an earthquake has happened and so they remain this incredibly unknown phenomenon that we have to sort of guess that we do know the united states is profoundly seismically activated the potential for major earthquakes is happening just about everywhere. as i say in the book unless you live in miami, you are probably at risk. will that happen tomorrow or in 500 yearsrr or 5,000 years, we don't know that we do know the potential is there an and us of wha

some of the beauty that you know it's only a moderate seismic zone and that the chances off or on the fukushima dai bin suster are actually quite low but then there are others who are saying you know we have to be absolutely. safe and not take a chance at all but then the point is you know nuclear power it requires coolants and india has a large horse line so what the court i'm going to josh is building for the south and judge i would front is going to be both of them are along the ocean and they have to be forced to look asians for water for cooling reactors so i think it's like a good figure dilemma but end of the big consensus is if we are reasonably secure and. you know provide some safeguards for local people and for the environment we should still be able to proceed and look for the larger development needs of a growing going commie like india we just right now the mix the energy mix is heavily fossil fuel dependent and we need to transition towards solar and wind and nuclear and i think in their order these three are going to be very very crucial for us to meet the baddest clim

as i recall, the biggest seismic issue are the chimneys. but the building itself, there is 12 feet of stonewall. >> i'm talking about the materials. >> the more pressing issue, as i recall, the structural part of it is the stone. which is like, you know, flaking and falling apart. there are other things. but -- so i'd be reluctant to use the word "seismic" for the reasons you stated. >> use words "rehabilitation." the rehabilitation of the building so we're not saying this is funding a new program in the building. we're funding the rehabilitation which includes structural and life safety upgrades and accessibility and other things. >> $50 million. we need $50 million. >> towards the rehabilitation that should be on the rehabilitation. >> would you like me to reread that? the commission is in support of increasing the contribution to the old mint to at least $50 million as a major contribution to the effort to rehabilitate the struck tour such as stabilization, life safety upgrades and stabilization of the envelope. the second recommendation

seismic is appropriate. there are places where seismic is not in the interest of taxpayers interest. particularly if the urology was just there is no oil and gas. you would do point seismic if you're going to put a wind field out there. given that the design of a winfield also affects fishing. with got to be smarter. >> i appreciate the chair allowing me to go. i did want to file some thing for the record. removelieve when you part of utah's monument that is now going to be open to mining claims and uranium development, you did take an inch of public land out of that use. you and i can dialogue. thank you madam chair. >> thank you senator cantwell. mr. secretary, i appreciate the time you have given to the committee, how you have worked veryspond to not only local interests, whether it's ,hat i raised with our 40 miles or senator gardeners news that the county that -- is going to have a good day today. but also the broader picture of reorganization you are proposing within this department, the on the respect

given that we have facilities with seismic issues that have funding needs that are imminent, one thing that i floated to the capital planning to -- committee to consider as it develops the next ten year capital plan next year is to perhaps shift some of that 500 million from 2024 forward to 2020 to coincide with the proposed e-sure bond to coordinate with our timeline needs with the facilities program. so whether we'll have success in getting that change in the capital plan is up in the air, but it's something i proposed. so this is where we are in the project. we did have a budget town hall last friday that was actually fairly well attended. we did it in part with senior disability action, and on a cold, rainy friday afternoon, got a pretty good turnout. we have our public hearing today. we've been to the citizens advisory committee council at least once. we are doing a digital town h 5 ll tomorrow night, so tune in live at 5:00? 6:00. doing -- trying a different format to make it more interesting, if you can imagine anything more interesting than the last 20 minutes you heard listeni

and a cracking continent — the seismic shift in kenya's rift valley that could divide africa. the british which is accused of mining the data of 50 million people, to influence the 2016 us election. although the firm denies any wrongdoing. here's our business editor, simon jack. facebook founder mark zuckerberg broke his silence tonight on a scandal that has engulfed the social media giant. in a facebook post, he said the company had "a responsibility to protect your data" and admitted the company had "made mista kes". he described how a british academic had invented an app inviting facebook users to do a personality test. 300,000 people downloaded it, it collected personal information on them and also all of their facebook friends, harvesting data on 50 million users. that data was obtained by a british consultancy, cambridge analytica, in 2014, a move mark zuckerberg described tonight as "a breach of trust", and it was later allegedly used in the trump election campaign. a campaign the company's executives took a lot of credit for when secretly filmed. an apparent shock to the original

public works was to restore and seismically upgrade the building. we had a team of consultants and architects, city architects, engineers who worked on the project. our role was to define the scope of the renovations and do a full seismic upgrade and modernization. there is very tricky things about city hall you will enjoy observing when you come back. one of the most fascinating things about city hall, it's base isolated. what that means is the weight of the building, every column, was placed on a base ice later. this is a quarter size base isolator. it has two large plates of steel at the top and the bottom. and the middle is made up like a cake. layers of rubber and layers of steel. and when there is earthquake, the energy is dissipated through the rubber and the steel plates. so this is connected to the ground. and this is connected to the building. and the building will experience a lesser magnitude earthquake as the ground will. so while you may come up the front stairs of city hall many times, something you may not have noticed, these are flo

when you have a volcanic president, you're going to have seismic changes. that doesn't create a very good working environment. but, you know, i think what's happening, it was always odd, you know, gary cohn, he really didn't match the campaign that the president ran. tillerson was suggested to him by the foreign policy establishment that he derided as a candidate, and you always have the sense that they were there to mind the president. and he now is throwing that off and saying, i don't want that. i don't need people to tell me what to do. i don't want people to tell me what to do. and he's bringing in people who reflect his point of view and who will not challenge him. and that is concerning in a president who doesn't read, who gets a lot of his information from "fox & friends," and who operates off of instinct. you know, we saw it with korea. we saw it with the tariffs. i'm just going to do these things. well, if there's no one there to stop him, that can have some pretty catastrophic consequences. >> david gergen, though, if, you know, doing things the
