on december 31st, we delivered the working group comprised of department of public works, the puc, sf environment planning, the public health department, basically all city agencies were invited to come and participate in the strategic plan. and at the end of december we delivered a strategic plan recommendation to the city administrator's office. in april the city administrator's office officially published the recommendation to supervisor chiu for how best to meet the ordinance goals. we then posted a urban agriculture open house together with supervisor chiu and the city administrator's office on may 15th. that was an opportunity for the public to come and find out more about what we were planning and to weigh in with questions and concerns. ~ hosted we also did outreach to the park recreation open space advisory committee, to sf urban ag alliance, and we invited other groups to know about what's going on. we have started to -- at rec and park we have started to do our internal process for hopefully hiring a full-time staff member to come on. and i will give you more information no

the water is okay to drink or need to treat it. we have a number of twice get information from the puc through twitter and facebook and our website sf water.org. >> people should not drink water from pools or spas. but they could use it to flush their toilets if their source are not broken. let's look at those issues. >> sanitation is another issue and something people don't usually or like to think about it but it's the reality. very likely that without water you can't flush and the sewer system can be impeded or affected during an earthquake. you need to think about sanitation. the options are simple. we recommend a set up if you are able to stay in your building or house to make sure that you have heavy duty trash bags available. you can set this up within your existing toilet bowl and once it's used. you take a little bit of our bleach. we talked about it earlier from the water. you seal the bag completely. you make sure you mark the bag as human waste and set it aside and wait for instruction about how to dispose of it. be very aware of cleanliness and make sure you have wipes so folks are able to wash up when dealing with the

the amount of damage it has done to this community. i'm glad that some of you supervisors understand this, and those that don't understand that, it behoves those to bring it on board. sf puc has put this forward. those that understand the more technical issues are going to volunteer as we have to educate the community and work with our youth, young adults to give them jobs as we have been doing and in our office which is located in the southeast sector. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning, dr. jackson again. thank you very much. i want to repeat what other people have said. but, i'm happy that this day has finally come that something is going to be done about the sewage plant there. we have been smelling it for the last 60 years. i would like to say i have been a resident of bay view hunters point since 1948. that's a long time to be smelling. i was there when they started in 1950 building without us knowing anything about it. i have worked, as you all know, when i come and speak before you, i speak of the community. the community is all of san francisco. so, what i'm hoping and i have seen the design because i don't want anyone coming
