talked about the order on nbc's meet the press. >> and so we want to fast track by eliminating any sequarements. i've got coastal act changes that we're making. i want to make sure when someone rebuilds that they have their old property tax assessments and that they're not increased. >> the executive order also extends protections against price gouging on building materials and other essential goods. >> in pasadena, a fire relief brigade of volunteers and day laborers has been deployed to help with cleanup efforts. members of the community gathered at the pasadena community job center to organize food donations, clothes, and clean up the streets filled with debris. >> we know the city is doesn't have the capacity right now to help with the cleanup. you know, they're trying to support some of the, you know, the families that have been affected. so that's why the workers have raised their hand to uplift the community. >> this movement was also organized to connect homeowners and contractors with skilled day laborers and workers. the bay area is stepping up to help people impacted by those

the governors waved sequa, which i feel should be completely reformed, if not eliminated. if it is being eliminated for this. >> president trump: how are they doing with sequa. >> it adds years to an application. >> president trump: can't do it. and coastal commission also. >> he waved that. >> president trump: we are going to have to override the coastal commission. i have dealt with that for a long time and they are the most difficult in the entire country. and we can not have them play their games and wait 10 years to give someone a permit. i will override them, and not let them get away with their antics. thank you. thank you. >> mr. president, thank you for your leadership on california water policy. you made it a priority on day one. we have wild fires, california is a wild fire prone area. ensuring stable water supply is critical. your leadership and executive order, moving more water and maximizing flows, building more water storage and more conveyance. >> it would have an unbelievable impact on your area. >> absolutely. we want to thank you for making it a priorit

what newsom did today by sort of removing that entire aspect of the california coastal commission and sequa will be an absolute game changer for everybody who wants to rebuild along that stretch. jennifer gray thompson, who founded her nonprofit in the wake of the 2017 wine country fires, says it took about five years for much of the rebuilding in sonoma county. she expects, because so many properties in the palisades fire are along the coast there, rebuilding could take even longer. we don't want people to give up hope that they can actually do it. it's going to be a slog in a long time, but they can do it. we as a state have to rally and do everything we can to support la. as folks rebuild and recover, and we have to be there for our neighbors to the south. state senator scott wiener supports newsom's executive order as well, but he says it highlights how challenging building has become in california. and so we want to make sure, of course, that as folks in l.a. are recovering, that they can get what they need quickly. but let's be clear, we need to be making these changes in many ways st

and so this is part of our we're kind of required review under sequa and when we're conducting an airmission baldauf yes, i would like to sort of understand the process of if in fact the city wants to go ahead with this project as designed. and we are demolishing a landmark. >> what is the process do? does the landmark get delisted? what is the process by which we demolish a landmark? >> we have staff to provide some clarity. >> i will take the first half of this and the answer is really we are going to effectively create the process if if this is to proceed. >> there is no the only instance where an article ten property has been the formal term was designated was in the 1990s. there is a church at golf in eddy street that burned down and in order to relax kind of development opportunities on that site the deed designated it that's the only instance we're aware of where an article ten site has been changed not article ten. >> so in terms of how this is going to work for this proposal that is still being worked on mostly through people that are not the planning department staff we woul

we've also introduced legislation to exempt the undergrounding of power lines from sequa. all those efforts have been stopped or vetoed here in california. and the reason that's important is we have to reduce the fuel loads in these wild areas, in the in the good seasons and the off seasons. so that way when stuff like this happens, you get these conditions. the fires aren't as big and aren't as devastating. and undergrounding the power lines is important as well. a lot of these fires end up being started by downed power lines or coming into contact with trees or whatnot, so underlining or undergrounding them is a is a really important tool as well. >> did governor newsom call in the national guard too late? >> you know, they did everything too late. you look at a state like florida when they have hurricanes coming in, they deploy resources strategically throughout the state. they have evacuation orders. they're prepared for this. i don't see any level of preparation for this. i mean, where are the big firefighting aircrafts? where was the equipment? they know when an even

nominations i should say they considered the project they considered the preservation alternatives for the sequa document at 530 sansom and 447 battery street which is a recognized landmark in san francisco and their conversation surrounded concern about establishing any precedent of rescinding landmark status by ordinance and how that might impact other landmarks in the future because that was what the project would afford. but there purview was the preservation alternatives. if there are no questions commissioners we can move on to general public comment. at this time members of the public may address the commission and items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items with respect to agenda items. your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. when the numbers speakers exceed the 15 minute limit general public comment may be moved to the end of the agenda . if you have any general public comment you need to come forward seeing none. general public communist closed and we m
