to do two things simultaneously we need to produce green house gas emissions but that won't stop the sea level rising even though the world stopped it today sea level is the rise their regarding two different thrusts as your report indicated in july we have to get this perfect the sea level lag time because it is in the ocean. and the last draft to show you that the projects for sea level rise in the scientific reports are low this the preservation for sea level rise for 1990 what can happen by now i've cut it off at the year 2014 and we redid the projects from the i pcc from the paper on sea level rice rise in 2012 they did the projects again >> he is green lines are narrower and higher as they keep doing it we can look at how inadequate accurate where they those are the best scientific data the redlining is a smooth out trend like that you can see at the top or even above some of the projects so just in the last decade or two the best sequence of science has if anything been low in terms of what can happen that sea level that's the proof the scientists are not intaekt many people say t

submitted a proposals to bcdc for adapting the sea level rise in 2009 as well between 2011 and 2012 we solicited a consultant to do a comprehensive evaluation of the impacts along our shoreline and using this information to help to look at the design going forward in conjunction with the guidelines we've been involved with with the sea level committee in developing for the city. and in addition, weer actively involved with a project a pilot project assessing the vulnerabilities and looking at the adaptation strategy store mission creek and the surrounding mission bay area that project we're working with super and other agencies as well bcdc, in fact, we've been working with bcdc and incorporating and advising with them about our waterfront use plan and in addition working that them on their bay policy relating to sea level rise. we also are flaking right now a comprehensive study related to the seismic vulnerability with our seawall and that study should be available in 2015. in addition we've been active in the participation of looking at solutions for sea level rise and adapting the

chair for the rising sea level for the committee >> thank you for being here. >> it's a pleasure. during our interviews search warrant staff we've learned speaking that surprised us every member of our staff is well aware of the reich's sea level situation and their posed to do something about it i want to tell you i'm not following the recommendations prepared he will i'm going i'm going to give you highlights i want you to hear those and please oh, your support >> first of all, i said upper submitted a draft guidance for incorporating the sea levels into capital planning that document was received by me after a report was published it is a step forward i want to remind the board that draft guidance refers to city assets only not to private investment and hopefully it will be extend to that in the future. i want to talk about mainly planning and building codes. ones this assessment is complete i imagine everyone is working on this this is 2, 2 year studies serious consideration go begin to include mitigation for rising sea level. sequa has been mentioned in the painstaking sequa

let me begin by saying the mayor and the city and county are taking the risks of sea level rise seriously in our departments are involved in cutting-edge work to prepare the city and the mayor buildings the city needs to lead with adversities own assets to prepare for the sea level rise in front he directed a comprehensive plan. we have a guidance for incorporating sea level rise in capital planning going to the capital planning committee for action on is 22nd of september this guidance incorporated the most up to date science owe about enable the capital planning committee to better understand and prioritize to prepare for a sea level rise it's also going to deepen the coordination on this issue daifrd b heart from the sf puc was the co-chair of the committee that drafted and will spend a few minutes to update why you, we have chris to talk about how we evaluate sea level rise in our thoughts about planning and building code changes in accident future and finally we have representatives from major infrastructure departments highlighted in the report to you to give you, in fact, highlight

the civil grand jury for adding the enforcement support for the sea level i'm here to support the project we've no evidence of moved from 5 to 10 years from the sequa documents to a public conversation to prepare our shorelines i know that san francisco is enclosed on many sides so today, you've heard many departments talk about not only the vulnerability assessments they're doing alone in their areas of interests but working collaboratively together on a number of projects that are considered leadership models for the region to highlight two super is working or working with the agencies here today as well as federal and state agencies in the ocean beach master plan on the open space and public access we're working with bcdc the dutch government and private partners including the san francisco bay area e bay giants to adapt the strategies in the mission creek and the waterfront we have the capital guidelines we're starting to work on the seawall we're part of the resilient collaborative on the rockefeller foundation that's funding to grow the conversation subtitling around recipients and

that concludes the sea level recommendation >> okay. thank you supervisor tang. colleagues is that there a motion to table the hearing on this item >> i'll make the motion and again, thank you to the civil grand jury and take a moment to thank the budget analyst and as well as the agencies that are moving forward on this i serve as the board of supervisors representative to bcdc this has been an enormous concern for all commissioners on bcdc it's gifted e gifrl to get a progress report but obviously we've got more work to do thank you for putting this open the forefront i'm happy to table this hearing and move into onto the recommendations. >> there's been a motion we'll take that without objection. the hearing is now tabled. and also is there a motion to accept the recommendations proposed by supervisor tang to amend the current resolution >> so moved. >> okay. >> i want to make a classification to forward the recommendation responses recommendation 2a where it was recommended that required further analysis we want to clarify a report back in front of the grand j

wall and to address the sea level rise in places like mission creek. and importantly, we are thinking that our recommendation today, is that leasing historic piers for more than 35 years, without a sea level rise strategy is no longer advisable. >> so, this is the last of our recommendations, and it really goes to what we suggest for planning going forward. we think that in order to balance state and local re

some people for aboutly put a playground there not thinking about all the sea level rise. was at this very room they have meetings about 8 washington i pleaded with you all along with many other people 99 perris of thoughts community criticized it as being the worst architecture disaster and they were right i don't care if it was the leading architect in favor of it was the wrong thing maine it had no set backs. thankfully the boston properties and embarcadero buildings was set back this was how i was able to make open space that was the greatest thing ever. gotten gateway is set back a block from the waterfront thankfully leave it alone we voted for that it was the most foolish thing and sea level is better but that's how the planning commission voted for it i don't know where they got their facts from they could go to 10 different colleges they're not thinking with a full deck my father was an architect he was brilliant ways he had good common practical sense i think i inherit his genes so sea level rise is a real threat you've pointed out but you're not following through

most people said they were the sea people's but the question is who are the sea people. this the one relief got. this is the temple of ramsey the third and he tells us with pictures and text and says as follows the foreign countries made a conspiracy in their lands. no lands could stand behind their arms. being cut off at one time. he is describeing the sea people that are coming in and he names them. he said the federation was the trojectory and our problem is we don't know where most of the people come from or where they go to. and the inscription keeps going and he has pictures of them and this is what they look like and in the end we don't know where they come from. there is no city you can point to where they came from or they ended up. so people have played lingustic games with. they came up with saying this name sounds like sicily so that is maybe where they came from. you can see they are guessing. we have the philistines and the bible said they came from crete and that would work but we are not sure where the people go or where they come from. it is possible that

i'm convinced that port staff is great to get along with no big deal the other thing was the sea level rise. particularly raising regional awareness of the problem and that's where i met john england eerie was on a conference in florida a couple i do not recollect years ago and john was in the audience and asked a question and it was clear to me from his question he had a better grasp of sea level rise than the parental i was he was asking the question my next incourt with john was this book by far the best book every written about sea level rise john does an excellent job of

, have been designed with the projected sea level rise and so the different means of addressing the sea level rise is basically elevating the sites where we can or elevate in the case of the mission bay shore line project, and we elevated around 15 inches, and the same was taken for the bay view gateway and herran's head park was also built up to protect it from the sea level rise and so this illustration shows what the projections are. and we are having the flooding in the spring and it is projected to in 2050 and where we are at at 2050, and the little arrows show how the water gets to the location and as we move forward with the planning and design for each of the projects, we are taking into consideration the sea level rise. >> so the next steps is to work with the partner agencies including receipt gonal and local agencies on completing the glue green way as well as pursuing the grant opportunities where we can. and the blue green way, and then begin to advance the projects that are funded from the 2012 bonds and with that i am available for any questions, thank you. >> thank you.

port and the staff admits the analysis of the sea level on all of that and i think that our next steps are taking a look at both how we get the people involved to share the information and that is something that we with the port staff will be working be on figuring out how to enhance the involvement and just in conclusion, diane if you could talk about the next steps and how we work on that and you again, just maybe reiterate how the people can way in and submit the comments and also, i think that i speak for my colleagues, all of you if you have thoughts, questions, or concerns, come to us as well. we are very open. and we would love to hear from you and it is how we learn. i know that our staff is incredibly receptive and so i will reach out to them and also please don't hesitate to come to speak to all of us and share both your criticism but also your kutos and i think that it is important to hear and i said what has worked well because so much has. and again, just point out that this is a start as we move forward, and it is chance to see where we are going and i

they would point to the seas behind me here. ith a small country of 5 million people this is the thing that would make them richer, not poorer. >> the granite city they call aberdeen and it is often bitterly cold. this place has been basking in the economic sunshine for years that oil has provided. kenny runs a successful con trust company yet he supports independence from the u.k. because he thinks so much of the profit has been wasted by lond london. >> oil was discovered in the 1960s when i was a teenager, and ever since i was a teenager they've been saying the oil is running out. i think we could have a stronger economy in the northeast of scotland. t >> reporter: the two sides in the debate over the future of the united kingdom agree that scotland could survive as an independent country. but oil and energy, and scotland's future income has been a source of endless furious debate. it is absolutely essential to the argument of the scottish independent party that the oil should go to scotland, not london. but many say that the

wall and to address the sea level rise in places like mission creek. and importantly, we are thinking that our recommendation today, is that leasing historic piers for more than 35 years, without a sea level rise strategy is no longer advisable. >> so, this is the last of our recommendations, and it really goes to what we suggest for planning going forward. we think that in order to balance state and local interests, in the water front, where there is planning going forward, we need to invite bcdc and the state lands to participate in the process. much in the way that we are seeing with the bcdc port working group. given our recommendation that we do the subarea planning and the discreet areas of the water front, rather than the whole water front as was the case with the adoption of the water front land use, and there is a lot of efforts in the projects that are under way and those projects need to continue while the planning discussions occur and looking at the discreet water front subareas, we have planning under way in both the fixer man's wharf area

the environment, when you see this bound copy, you will find that one of the reports here is on the one on sea rise, and where there is a lot going on. and so, at the current time. with what appears to the jury the context between the departments was on an ad hoc needed basis, but there was not really a chance for people to sit around the table together. and say, okay, here is the water front. what are you doing here and what is the rec and park doing there and what is mat doing and how do these things fit together in one piece? we think that a real water front update would include all of the parties, who have an interest in the water front of what we are doing. we are happy to answer any questions that you have. >> thank you. >> for listening. >> thank you very much and for all of of the time that you put in and i think that we are aware of how much time it takes to volunteer, and to do the public service, and i want to thank you for that. and it is an incredible number of hours you and your colleagues put in. >> and brad did you want to say something? >> i was going to go, briefly through th

the sea once reached these ramparts. a modern development grows into the harbor, and today half the city is built upon reclaimed land. gibraltar's old town is long and skinny, with one main street. gibraltarians are a proud bunch, remaining steadfastly loyal to britain. its 30,000 residents vote overwhelmingly to continue as a self-governing british dependency. within a generation, the economy has gone from one dominated by the military to one based on tourism. but it's much more than sunburned brits on holiday. gibraltar is a crossroads community with a jumble of muslims, jews, hindus, and italians joining the english, and all crowded together at the base of this mighty rock. with its strategic setting, gibraltar has an illustrious military history, and remnants of its martial past are everywhere. the rock is honeycombed with tunnels. many were blasted out by the brits in napoleonic times. during world war ii, britain drilled 30 more miles of tunnels. the 100-ton gun is one of many cannon that both protected gibraltar an

and as we talk in particular about the sea level rise that is not going to happen unless there is a fully integrated way of working this across the city and it will not succeed and we have already started that process and not only in the city family but with the cdc and we welcome more input and it is something that has to take and integrated and if i take your comments to say that we have to work in a fashion and i don't think that we will disagree with you and i think that is the correction that the commissioner have given the staff in that regard and so i am not going to address all of the comments that you made but that one hit home with me and i like to make that comment, and i think that i in particular have had more sessions with the staff on the water front plan and they know my input, and i am not going to go through it publicly here, and they know that there is a lot of work and i do appreciate that brad mentioned because i don't think that it was clear that we saw the first rendition of the plan last month that this was more to start the process, and it was not and because it w
