Once again, thank you, again for all of your great work on this. We really appreciate it. Supervisor mandelman thank you again. Next speaker. Im ed gershin. Our actions are going to need to include Large Capital investments. When we say things like large transit for boats cant be addressed, we need to make sure that we have the p. R. Necessary in San Francisco to address those challenges. Also, in terms of housing policy, we need to be conscious that landlords may not be incentivized upgrade to renewable energy, and we need to either mandates or incentives to make sure that landlords are also upgrading the apartments that they control when its the tenants that pay for that. Also, we need to be cognizant of the land use of San Francisco and untalso of peopl that may not move to San Francisco because of those policies. And also, we need to have a lot of trees and ensure we have a sufficient tree canopy in San Francisco. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Hello. Im josh lee. Ive lived in district one with supervisor fewer, whos not here today. Im a new resident. I moved here two days before the campfire began. I couldnt breathe my first month in San Francisco, which was a very unwelcome moving present. Supervisor mandelman if there are folks who did not hear me say their name but did want to speak in Public Comment, it might be a good time to lineup on the side. My name is sheela islam, im here representing clean water action. So thank you so much for joining us and declaring a Climate Emergency . And to all those that contributed to the report, thank you . I also want to reemphasize what other people have brought up, which was the lack of equity and resiliency brought up in the report . It should be included in every single aspect of the report, not just cobenefits. It should be an integral part of this report. Also, San Francisco as an environmental leader, we need you in the normalization effort. I want to extent to you an invitation to the meetings that happen once a month . We cannot do this without you. We know that Climate Change problems dont recognize city limits . So please join us, and yeah, thank you so much. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. My name is steven, and im a lifelong bay area resident. Ive lived in San Francisco for three years now and i volunteer with citizens climate lobby. I want to thank you, supervisor mandelman and everyone thats been working hard on this issue and giving it the important it deserves. In my small way, ive experienced Climate Change as an avid hiker. Ive seen places that i love burned to the ground. My impact pales in comparison to californiiaans whose home h burned down. For them, the emotional and financial burden of Climate Change is immeasurably more than mine, and sadly, more californians will be joining them. Hi. Im kathy from mothers out front. We work for liberal climate for our children. Most of our members are mothers who actually couldnt be here at this time, so this is another reminder of the time of this as a number of other people have mentioned. Any way, we appreciate the focus of this plan. On a macrolevel, we are delighted that San Franciscos working with other regions and countries but working together to maintain what we hope might be a sustainable environment for our children. We are glad that San Franciscos an active part of that. As was just mentioned, the environment is becoming a major consideration for families choosing to stay in the city. Schools and parks and housing are important, but a coordinated approach in a quality of life can make a huge difference whether families decide to stay here. So we appreciate the emergency and coordinated approach around environment. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Hi. Anastasia. Im here with a very small, very easy to do request, and you dont need to do anything. You just need to do things that are better for the environment and for climate. Dont destroy trees. As you probably know in 2016, San Francisco somehow adopted this insane plan which set quotas for cutting down 18,000 healthy mature big trees and an uncounted number of small trees. Now the 2030 report calls and lauds the plan to plant 50,000 trees, so cutting down this 18,500 big trees plus uncounted number of small trees will completely wipe out this achievement which the plan will provide. You know, the trees are big, and it takes time to grow. The cost of the plan in 2007 was estimated by legislative analysts to be 5. 4 million. So dont waste this money and use this instead in planting trees. I urge you to review this plan and dont allow any tree cutting. Now, i just want to quickly add that there was some talk about nativenonnative, its not complete not true that native animals need native trees to live. Thank you very much. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is charles whitfield. Im a soma resident. Previous speakers have commented on the huge carbon impact on the food San Francisco imports, not just what we produce locally. Its a great point, and theres another resource that we import and export every day in huge numbers with huge Climate Impact even though we could maintain it locally here in the city. Its people. Im here to urge the commission to expand the recommendations of the 2030 report by enforcing Rapid Development of infill housing. I applaud the Climate Emergency declaration examine im delighted to see the report focus on more sustainable transit 6789 San Francisco must acknowledge its role not only as a direct emitter of carbon but as an incentivizer of carbon of millions of San Francisco residents. The challenge is much greater than net zero emissions. Homes in San Francisco are far greener than most homes elsewhere, but these homes arent very helpful when we build so far. In effect, every home that we dont build new forces people to generate far more emissions in other communities. San francisco does not exist in a vacuum. If the city reduces its emissions to zero while doing nothing to reduce the growing emissions our economy occurs outside our borders, we will accomplish little. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. My name is tonya mcneil. I live in district ten. I just threw out my speech when i heard what everyone was saying. It seems to me that the city needs to mobilize the way the nation did after pearl harbor, that the city, the citizens, the businesses, all the agencies need to all Work Together, and they need to make change, and they need to collaborate at the deepest level all the way through the city. They and the city needs rather than, you know, everybody going off and doing their own thing, they need a climate czar. You need a climate czar who has the executive power of and vision of of Harry Hopkins in the w. P. A. , in the new deal, that you need a marketing genius like our erstwhile president in the white house, and you need to have a megaphone that gets out there so that everybody in the city hears about this so there are working groups across departments, agencies, the school district, the neighborhood coalition, all levels churches. And i just want to point out that there are a couple of policies right now that are really counter to what youre trying to do today. For instance, in the eastern neighborhood plan in which the definition of green space is almost as narrow as the sidewalk area. So there are almost no trees in the eastern neighborhoods. And [inaudible] supervisor mandelman thank you. [inaudible] supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Hi. My name is bob walsh. Im a senior manager of Public Relations here at scoopnecks in San Francisco. Already two thirds of our multirides and a third of our kick scooter rides replace car trips, usually ride hails. Expanding shared transportation opportunities are the most effective way for San Francisco to reduce co2 emissions. We seek broader relationships with all City Departments. I feel compelled to state that our transportation objectives align perfectly with our vision zero goals. Already in 2019, 14 people have died while walking and cycling in our streets. Reducing traffic cleans our air and makes our city more livable. Im lucky to have lived in San Francisco my entire life. Time and again the examples set in our tiny city have said the standard for set the standard for global communities. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is paul warmer. Ive heard a lot of things i might have said myself earlier today, so i wouldnt bother to repeat them. I should say there are a lot of good ideas out there, and this is actually a very good report. It really says what is the problem and what we need to have. I would urge that there be a dedicated Department Position sometimes departments dont always play well together, and we need to change that. One of the challenges we have now is the behavior change and the adoption both by city or should i say by city, by business, and by residents. Thats going to take much better outreach than we normally have. Ive been to, for example, multiple sfmta meetings, and many of them follow what appears to be the three i public process invite, inform, ignore. Thats not going to work. In the interest of social justice and Environmental Justice and in getting people to buy in, they needs to be a there needs to be a robust public input process. I would site the cite the plan that d. B. I. Used, and i would ask you to consider that when you draft implementations. Thank you. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Hi. I just want to thank you, the supervisors, and everybody whos here. This has been an amazing coming together of ideas. I just want to say i hope that the supervisors can drop their differences with the various departments and just go for the biggest picture possible, get the money together, get together with the other cities in the bay area. We need unity, and we need to look at all solutions as fast as we can. Thank you. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Darryl in district five. Id like to ask you for doing this. The urgency, you know, were constantly hearing about more ice melting, the permafrost is going. The climate czar is something to think about, but were not doing enough. A much more has to be done. Thank you. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. I specifical i specifically wanted to go last because i wanted to wrap this up for recommendations and calls for action for you, supervisors and the City Department or those remaining. I do realize that people will be watching this tomorrow or are watching it in their offices rather than in chambers. I want to first commend the bravery it took for you guys, for you guys to actually spear head this thing. It takes bravery. You guys are being subjected to what i feel are also deficiencies in this technical report. But lets move forward with the process because this outlines where we are right now, where we should be, and where well end up if we do nothing else. How we get there is the critical part. Thats the part that leaves nobody behind, makes sure this is fully funded and makes sure we realize on a global level by acting on a local level. So here with my recommendations. Number one, i would like to see a full bodied Economic Analysis on what itll take to do all of the things that are in that technical report. I want it to be sanctioned by the city. I need to have community and merchant input into how it will affect them, as well. Number two, i would like to see a Deputy Director level position in every department in this city fully funded and budgeted. I dont care if its appointed by you guys or by the mayor, but we really need that in order for the collaboration were going to need. Number three, i need to see a comprehensive stakeholder process, including one of the deficiencies of this report that was not brought up, which was a roles and responsibility list or chart of everybody whos going to be affected by this. That means everybody in this city. Supervisor mandelman how many more points do you have . What are your two points . Number three i would like to see this Strategic Plan before messing with the code. Supervisor mandelman i think youre still on the mic, and you should be. Oh, so Strategic Plan before the code because the Strategic Plan will include all of the things that ive stated up until now and will get us there. And my final one, id like to see a lot more citizen daylight in all of this process. We need to be involved in all of the back channel meetings between these department dos, that is my last request for moving out of this out of committee. Thank you. Thank you so much. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Are there any other members of the public that would like to speak before we close Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I have a couple of comments. I want to begin by thanking supervisor safai and haney for staying here to allow this hearing to continue, a very, very long hearing. I want to thank the departments for their presentations. I want to note that as long as this hearing was, i actually asked a couple of departments that wanted to present and i do want to apologize to the department of building inspection and s. F. O. For streamlining the presentations and to the departments that did present, they all had much longer presentations, that we were reduced in the interests of being able to get to Public Comment and get through this hearing and not keep my colleagues here too terribly late. Im going to ask director raphael to come up and address a couple of issues that came up. I want to thank the speakers that came out. A number of speakers said we didnt have the speakers that should be here because its midday, but this is a pretty good turnout for midday. Supervisor haney, you want to jump in . Supervisor haney yeah. I have to go, unfortunately. Two things i would like to follow up on is a number of folks brought up really an equity lens to this and how that can kind of be called out more specifically, and also, the piece around the Animal Agriculture and how we have a real strategy around that. I completely agree with that, and so how can we build that into this, and how can we Work Together to do that. So those are the two things that i wanted to really flag. Supervisor mandelman thanks, supervisor haney. Supervisor haney can you respond . Both of those issues are in the report. They clearly did not rise to the level of depth and clarity that people need, and so its a great feedback to publish that and im happy to get that to you. Supervisor mandelman so whats tso supervisor haney so whats the next step . The next step is to elevate those. And then, as we move forward on the Climate ActionStrategy Development with the public those strategies are much broader than this focus 2030 report, and a lot of those well at least the strategies like animal alri cull enter animate at that level. Supervisor haney great. And like Animal Agriculture animate at that level. Supervisor haney great. And thank you for getting back on that for me. Supervisor mandelman some of these but for my slicing of these presentations, there would have been more discussion on equity. Its unfair to ask you to address that, but there is a whole separate lane of work that is being done on resilience and adaptation, but there is a process, reports, and work being done which could also fill a fourhour hearing and in fact is going to fill hearings going forward. So i dont know if you want to say anything more than that. Yeah. I thought that was a very fair comment, and it was very intentional. This is a mitigation report, and when you do and because the universe of what we need to do around Climate Change is so huge, the resilience and adaptation elements will have their own report, and we are and what we are doing and im so excited about that with our offices at city planning, im interested in finding what those triple word scores, if you will, between adaptation and resilience. So between that, we always want to come back and say whats the most important thing the city can do to address all of those together. This, the climate resolution, the emergency resolution was very focused on a very small part of the whole. Supervisor mandelman and that theyre intimately related and there are hearings like this where we can only cutoff discreet bits. Given what this hearing is, and again, thanking people for coming out and giving their public testimony just conte contextualize, youre going through a broader and more thorough process in working through your Climate Policy chapter nine revisions which will come back to this board in the next six months . Correct. Supervisor mandelman and we will have hearing, discussion, and go through that. And that is to inform the Climate Action strategy which is, again, a much bigger, broader, and more comprehensive document that we need to adopt next year. Yes. Thats beautifully put. And i would say that the report, which people may not realize, came out of a request a 100day report. So the climate Resolution Department says climate department, you have 100 days to give us a report. 100 sounds like a big number, but when we wanted to be as robust and quantitative as we could, it meant that it can narrow boundary conditions, so it will not satisfy this desire, so im so grateful for the push and the comments saying the public needs to be a part of this. Supervisor mandelman this is a check in, but this is not even close to an end result. So the work continues. And so you know, as you think about you know, youre going to continue doing your work, your planning work and Community Consultation work. Memory bers members of the board of supervisors and the Mayors Office are going to continue pushing this and after the first 100 days, it will continue to happen. But when you think about the challenges ahead and how to keep that business as usual line from getting filled in and rather push us down, what do you think this board should keep in mind in actually the Biggest Challenges in achieving that shift . Thats kind of a hard question, and i apologize. Its a wonderful question to be asked as a department head, what do i want from our elected officials. I want to comment on something that you said. Were already working on very bold legislation on eliminating natural gas. Incredible work that supervisor safai has done around zero waste in the biggest area around that which is construction and demolition. There is a lot going on as we speak. So if i can answer your question, so the first thing i would say thats going to be really important, and a couple of the speakers mentioned this is were going to be able to have an all Electric City using 100 renewable energy, we need to control our grid. We need to make sure our grid can support what we need, the increased load. We need to make sure the investments in our grid are under our control, and what that means is exactly what mayor breed and Dennis Herrera have been talking about, having public power. So i think frankly with this board engaging that, working with the city attorneys office, working with the Mayors Office in a very focused way in the midst of the chaos of bankruptcy is incredible for our city. Its a rare opportunity for us. Ask secondly i know the what, its the how thats so tough. And every city on the planet is dealing with this. Number one, how can we tackle consumption . That is a big word, and that is something with this Animal Agriculture, you kept hearing about it. Animal agriculture is an example of the larger problem of how we measure our emissions using the boundary of our city. We have tremendous impact over what we buy, what we consume, what we eat. So tackling things that arent necessary, like single use items, figuring out how we tackle the issue of convenience is very important, and were going to need the courage of the elected officials. Se secondly, on the three items that are hardest to tackle, we know we need to electrify existing buildings. We cannot have that cost be passed on to people that cannot afford it, so thinking creatively how we fund that is going to be watched, frankly, from around the world because every city has that challenge. We need and i need help. And thirdly, the thing that is just not news to anyone in this room is figuring out how we deal with single occupancy vehicles, how we get private cars to either to certainly reduce their number, electrify those that are there, and thirdly, very important on that private sector of transportation is how do we electrify the dirtiest vehicles, diesel trucks. That is a big task for us to figure out how our asthma corridors, which are related to our transportation corridors which are related to our movement of goods, how we elect reelect electrify that. But certainly, supporting public transportation, getting people out of vehicle, owning our grid, those are the areas that i think were ripe to have leadership and help. Supervisor mandelman thank you, director raphael. I didnt give you the heads up that i was going to ask that. Great answer. But i was hoping for it. Supervisor mandelman i certainly thank you again for sticking with us and for your leadership on these issues with zero waste and waste and construction waste and im done. Thank you. Supervisor safai ill just i didnt want to interrupt anything, but i wanted to thank the people that came out today and the thoughts that they shared. I know im moving around a lot, but i can do more than one thing at a time. This is something that im deeply invested in and have been working on for over a decade, so im very proud to have engaged in work with the leadership of the department of environment. My background is was working in the Waste Management industry with organized labor, so i have a lot of personal experience working with front line janitors and haulers of waste that happen to be teamsters, so that gave me an insiders perspective. But then having an insight of working in the construction industry. And when we originally came to the realization that we would not achieve our zero waste by 2020, and that was the original goal, worked on that piece of legislation over a decade ago, so that the idea was, then how with can he do that . So very how can we do that . Very productive hearings where we talked about pathways. Some of questions, what are the things we can be doing here locally . We arent just increasing the fees and the charges on plastic bags. We talked about some of the single use plastics, straws, these are some of the smaller i like to say lowhanging fruit, but then we get into the conversations about how were reducing or consumption and reducing our packaging, thats a very important thing. And now talking about the entire conversation about construction and demolition waste, and things we have done reflectively for a reflexsive reflexively for a long time. When i came into office, supervisor mandelman and i did a survey of our small district, but we realized that we could plant a lot more trees, and we did a survey, realized that it was about 7,000 tree basins that were empty. Im very proud to say that we have collectively planted almost 2,000 trees just in my district alone. Supervisor mandelman and i fought for Additional Resources citywide for millions of dollars of more street planting. People always say why do i need a tree in front of my house . Why do we need more trees . Trees are like our sponges. Theyre how we clean the air. These are small things we can do, but we have a lot way to go when we think about our urban cano canopy compared to the rest of the United States. And as director raphael said, its about controlling our grid, and owning our grid, and where that energy comes from and the type of energy that it is. So i very much want to be a part of that. Appreciate you taking the leadership on this, supervisor mandelman and absolutely engaged on this and want to see us continue to make positive steps going forward, so thank you for coming out today. Supervisor safai thank you. Thats it. Youre done . Okay. Do we file this item . Clerk is there a motion to excuse supervisor peskin . Supervisor safai i didnt know if you wanted me to do it before or after. Clerk you would just need to make a motion to do that first. Supervisor safai well make a motion to excuse supervisor peskin. And then well make a motion to file this hearing. Thank you, supervisor mandelman. And i dont believe theres any other items before us today, so we are adjourned. [gavel] [ ] i just wanted to say a few words. One is to the parents and to all of the kids. Thank you for supporting this program and for trusting us to create a Soccer Program in the bayview. Soccer is the worlds game, and everybody plays, but in the United States, this is a sport that struggles with access for certain communities. I coached basketball in a coached football for years, it is the same thing. It is about motivating kids and keeping them together, and giving them new opportunities. When the kids came out, they had no idea really what the game was. Only one or two of them had played soccer before. We gave the kids very simple lessons every day and made sure that they had fun while they were doing it, and you really could see them evolve into a team over the course of the season. I think this is a great opportunity to be part of the community and be part of programs like this. I get to run around with my other teammates and pass the ball. This is new to me. Ive always played basketball or football. I am adjusting to be a soccer mom. The bayview is like my favorite team. Even though we lose it is still fine. Right on. I have lots of favorite memories, but i think one of them is just watching the kids enjoy themselves. My favorite memory was just having fun and playing. Bayview united will be in soccer camp all summer long. They are going to be at civic centre for two different weeklong sessions with america scores, then they will will have their own soccer camp later in the summer right here, and then they will be back on the pitch next fall. Now we know a little bit more about soccer, we are learning more, and the kids are really enjoying the program. We want to be united in the bayview. That is why this was appropriate this guy is the limit. The kids are already athletic, you know, they just need to learn the game. We have some potential collegebound kids, definitely. Today was the last practice of the season, and the sweetest moment was coming out here while , you know, we were setting up the barbecue and folding their uniforms, and looking out onto the field, and seven or eight of the kids were playing. This year we have first and second grade. We are going to expand to third, forth, and fifth grade next year bring them out and if you have middle school kids, we are starting a team for middle school. You know why . Why . Because we are . Bayview united. Thats right. My name is Angela Wilson and im an owner of the market i worked at a butcher for about 10 years and became a butcher you i was a restaurant cook started in sxos and went to uc; isnt that so and opened a cafe we have produce from small farms without small butcher shops hard for small farms to survive we have a been a butcher shop since 1901 in the heights floor and the case are about from 1955 and it is only been a butcher shot not a lot of businesses if San Francisco that have only been one thing. Im all for vegetarians if you eat meat eat meat for quality and if we care of were in a losing battle we need to support butcher shops eat less we sell the chickens with the head and feet open somebody has to make money when you pay 25 for a chicken i guarantee if you go to save way half of the chicken goes in the enlarge but we started Affordable Housing depends on it occurred to us this is a male field people said good job even for a girl the interesting thing it is a womens field in most of world just here in United States it is that pay a mans job im an encountered woman and raise a son and teach i am who respect woman i consider all womens who work here to be impoverished and strong in San Francisco labor is high our cost of good ideas we seal the best good ideas the profit margin that low but everything that is a laboring and thats a challenge in the town so many people chasing money and not i can guarantee everybody this is their passion. Im the ive been cooking mile whole life this is a really, really strong presence of women heading up kitchens in the bay area it is really why i moved out here i think that we are really strong in the destroy and really off the pages kind of thing i feel like women befrp helps us to get back up im definitely the only female here i fell in love i love setting up and love knowing were any food comes from i do the lamb and thats how i got here today Something Special to have a female here a male dominated field so i think that it is very special to have women and especially like it is going at it you know im a tiny girl but makes me feel good for sure. The sad thing the building is sold im renegotiating my lease the neighborhood wants us to be here with that said, this is a very difficult business it is a constant struggle to maintain freshness and deal with what we have to everyday it is a very high labor of business but something im proud of if you want to get a job at Affordable Housing done nasal you need a good attitude and the jobs on the bottom you take care of all the produce and the fish and computer Ferry Terminal and work your way up employing people with a passion for this and empowering them to learn hi. I am cory with San Francisco and were doing stay safe and were going to talk about what shelter in place or safe enough to stay in your home means. Were here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco and joined by carla, the Deputy Director of spur and one of the persons who pushed this shelter in place and safe enough to stay concept and we want to talk about what it means and why its important to San Francisco. As you know the bay area as 63 chance of having a major earthquake and its serious and going to impact a lot of people and particularly people in San Francisco because we live on a major fault so what does this mean for us . Part of what it means is that potentially 25 of San Franciscos building stock will be uninhibit tabl and people cant stay in their homes after an earthquake. They may have to go to shelters or leave entirely and we dont want that to happen. We want a building stock to encourage them to stay in the homes and encourage them to stay and not relocate to other locations and shelters. Thats right so that means the Housing Needs to be safe enough to stay and we have been focused in trying to define what that means and you as a former Building Official knows better than anybody the code says if an earthquake happens it wont kill you but doesnt necessarily say that can you stay in your home and we set out to define what that might mean and you know because you built this house were in now and this shows what its like to be in a place safe enough to stay. Its not going to be perfect. There maybe cracks in the walls and not have gas or electricity within a while but can you essentially camp out within your unit. Whats it going to take to get the Housing Stock up to this standard . We spent time talking about this and one of the building types we talk about was soft story buildings and the ground floor is vulnerable because there are openings for garages or windows and during the earthquake we saw in the marina they went right over and those are very vulnerable buildings. Very and there are a lot of apartment buildings in san that that are like that. And time to. Retrofit the buildings so people can stay in them after the earthquake. What do they need . Do they need information . Do they need incentives . Mandates . Thats a good question. I think it starts with information. People think that New Buildings are earthquake proof and dont understand the performance the building will have so we want a transparent of letting people know is my building going to be safe in it after an earthquake . Is my building so dangers i should be afraid of being injured . So developing a ranking system for buildings would be very important and i think for some of the larger apartment buildings that are soft story we need a mandatory program to fix the buildings, not over night and not without financial help or incentive, but a phased program over time that is reasonable so we can fix those buildings, and for the smaller soft story buildings and especially in San Francisco and the houses over garages we need information and incentives and coaxing the people along and each of the owners want their house to be safe enough. We want the system and not just mandate everybody. Thats right. I hear about people talking about this concept of resiliency. As youre fixing your knowledge youre adding to the city wide resiliency. What does that mean . Thats a great question. What spur has done is look at that in terms of recovery and in new orleans with katrina and lost many of the people, hasnt recovered the building stock. Its not a good situation. I think we can agree and in san we want to rebuild well and quickly after a major disaster so we have defined what that means for our life lines. How do we need the gasolines to perform and water perform after an earthquake and the building stock as well, so we have the goal of 95 of our homes to be ready for shelter in place after a major earthquake, and that way people can stay within the city. We dont lose our work force. We dont lose the people that make San Francisco so special. We keep everybody here and that allow us to recover our economy, and everything because its so interdependent. So that is a difficult goal but i think we can achieve it over the long time so thank you very much for hosting us and hosting this great exhibit, and San Francisco is surrounded on three sides by water, the fire boat station is intergal to maritime rescue and preparedness, not only for San Francisco, but for all of the bay area. [sirens] fire station 35 was built in 1915. So it is over 100 years old. And helped it, were going to build fire boat station 35. So the finished Capital Planning committee, i think about three years ago, issued a guidance that all city facilities must exist on Sea Level Rise. The station 35, Construction Cost is approximately 30 million. And the schedule was complicated because of what you call a float. It is being fabricated in china, and will be brought to treasure island, where the building site efficient will be constructed on top of it, and then brought to pier 22 and a half for installation. Were looking at late 2020 for final completion of the fire boat float. The historic firehouse will remain on the embarcadero, and we will still respond out of the historic firehouse with our fire engine, and respond to medical calls and other incidences in the district. This totally has to incorporate between three to six feet of Sea Level Rise over the next 100 years. Thats what the citys guidance is requiring. It is built on the float, that can move up and down as the water level rises, and sits on four fixed guide piles. So if the seas go up, it can move up and down with that. It does have a full range of travel, from low tide to high tide of about 16 feet. So that allows for current tidal movements and sea lisle rises in the coming decades. The fire boat station float will also incorporate a ramp for ambulance deployment and access. The access ramp is rigidly connected to the land side, with more of a pivot or hinge connection, and then it is sliding over the top of the float. In that way the ramp can flex up and down like a hinge, and also allow for a slight few inches of lateral motion of the float. Both the access ramps, which there is two, and the utilitys only flexible connection connecting from the float to the back of the building. So electrical power, water, sewage, it all has flexible connection to the boat. High boat station number 35 will provide mooring for three fire boats and one rescue boat. Currently were staffed with Seven Members per day, but the Fire Department would like to establish a new dedicated marine unit that would be able to respond to multiple incidences. Looking into the future, we have not only at t park, where we have a lot of kayakers, but we have a lot of developments in the southeast side, including the stadium, and we want to have the ability to respond to any marine or maritime incident along these new developments. There are very few designs for people sleeping on the water. Were looking at cruiseships, which are larger structures, several times the size of harbor station 35, but theyre the only good reference point. We look to the cruiseship industry who has kind of an index for how much acceleration they were accommodate. It is very unique.
