Jeremy. Good afternoon, i am jeremy spits with San Francisco public works government affairs. Thank you for calling this hears. A brief overview and then turn it over to our assistant superattendant with the bureau of human forest tree and the Deputy Director of operations if you have any questions. Public works is committed to fire safety and has a long history of partnering with the Fire Department. We are committed to greening San Francisco and positively impacting climate predictions. It includes rightofway and street trees and not many undeveloped parcels. We have proactive Maintenance Plans and work with the Fire Department to address areas of concern even on private property. We have quick reactive response when hazards are brought to our attention. As i mentioned. We have very little space near homes or residential areas. Our main areas of responsibility include medians and scattered parcels throughout the city such as along the boulevard and the areas around brotherhood bay and sunset boulevard. They are the full responsibility of Property Owners and some share with public works. We do regular outreach regarding maintenance, attending Community Meetings and partnerships with neighbors have led to great participation to community. Community members come together to volunteer. Some good examples include the fill bettethefi l. B. E. Rt and lt steps. We are committed to addressing fire risks. One example is the program we have been doing for many years but have revamped over the past year with the Fire Department along wher with the city attornr the south face of the burnell hill. There are parcels on that land. Public works sat down and came up with a plan to notify those Property Owners of the responsibilities to clear parcels if the Property Owners were not responsive public works hired a contractor to clear them. We assessed the value of that service on the Property Owners. I am turning it over to Nicholas Crawford to talk about maintenance on our own parcels. Thank you. Thank you, jeremy. Nicholas crawford, trees and landscapes. I would like to talk about regmaintenance work, things we are doing to maintain areas, mowing, digging, removing weeds. Our Landscape Team is trained with the bay friendly landscape qualification. It is our effort to use plants that are a good fit for this area and also any great natives where appropriate. In areas hotter and drier, those climates we are visiting more regularly to reduce the fuel there. One parcel we use goats for Vegetation Management on steep hillsides and in areas with poison oak like the pink triangle. We want to retain trees because of their value, but sometimes we deal with conflict in the city where we may have to address that. Ilwe want the next tree to gron the best spot for the future. We have street tree sf created three years ago. It is now two years old. We are cruising through the city streets pruning them and removing trees as necessary. We provide reaga regular regr maintenance. In terms every response. We get 311 calls that go directly to our staff inboxes. We follow by going out inspecting the site to see what is necessary and if it is necessary dispatching a crew sometimes within hours to deal with it. We rely on the community to provide that set of eyes and ears and be everywhere at all times so that we can get that information. We have also had to change some of our maintenance in response to weed growth when there is a lot of rain we get more growth to tend to more often. During droughts we have dryer grassy areas to mow and maintain in response to whatever the weather is. To step back. The big goal is to plant more trees. We hate removing trees. We want more trees to offset Climate Change and that is our larger goal. We also want to be aware of fire risk and be proactive and responsive in dealing with that. Thank you very much. If you have any questions, we are here. Thank you for your presentation. I dont think we have any questions. Next up. I do have a question for public works. I happen to live on one of the mentioned interesting spots under public works jurisdiction, and there are fires out there all of the time. It is interesting there are certain parts of the steps that are managed by the community and there is no under story, and there are certain it is weird. There is a street not built. The local followings have jurisdiction to the center line of the street. Any cleanup that happens in this unaccepted public rightofway. It is accepted for the purposes of building the stairs but not for maintenance is done by the neighbors. Parts of it are immaculate and there is no dead and down brush oralisms. There are parts that are or limbs. I am not trying to rat out my neighbors. Fire is there all of the time. They practice. There are two fire hose boxes. There is a hydrant there. I see the 28 engine there all of the time. I have never seen public works say this property is a total fire hazard. It sounds like there is more than just the fil the fi l. B. E. T steps. There is a whole bunch of them. Those steps look amazing. The care people invest in that is amazing. 273 you are right. Going up from there to montgomery, you are wrong. The big change in two years is public works is pruning the streets within ter with withe internal trees. The neighbors stepped in to prune the industries. We are waiting. Karla says she is coming. I am not actually talking about the trees. I am talking about the under story. The stuff most flammable are thickets of dead bamboo, tons of ivy. The stuff we saw in the presentations like the rec and park presentation showing dead under story that is where a fire can start particularly given people camp there. I wonder. The question is do you have a regimen to go through on the fireside. I am not talking the tree pruning side. I know you are coming. That wasnt the question. The question is about this is all on the public rightofway. Fire doesnt come and say this is a fire hazard. Fire comes and practice with hoses to see if they can get to the end of the lane and how fast. I have pictures of the 28 engine doing it. Carla. Carla short, San Francisco public works. We dont have a proactive Notification Program for those areas. We will go out and in. We will consult with the fire marshal. If they agree to notify Property Owners, we will do that. In response to this inquiry, we can do an inspection and consult with the fire marshal. I was in no way to suggest that. If you walk with hundreds of tourists every weekend, you will figure it out. Thank you. I will ask the fire marshal, dan, i will tell you why i am saving you for last. Now you have heard all of the departments tell you what they are doing, and if you have a response to whether or not we could do more. This is a good time to let us know. Here are some more copies if you would like them. I am fire marshal for the city and county of San Francisco. My role is i oversee the division of Fire Prevention and investigation. My hopes here today is to speak to code requirements. What are the minimum code requirements for Vegetation Management and wild land urban interface in San Francisco . That is a good starting point. If we want to suggest solutions or strengthen the program, we should start with what is required and are we meeting that minimum . That is my intent today. If you have any questions regarding wildfire operations or training our deputy chief is here to speak to that. We will get started. My presentation will be brief, to the point. I will identify specific code sections. These are found in the fire code and in title 19. Chapter 3 and 49. 3 is general and 49 is specifically wild land urban interface. They are two different things. We will look at two maps. These are developed and published by the cdf, California Department of forestry, adopted by cell fire. California fire. These identify the different fire hazard severity zones. Then i speak to the specific details regarding these codes. Here is the code section. Title 29, part nine, chapter 3. General requirements speak to any structure adjacent to wild grass, shrubs or not necessarily wild land urban interface. These are found in chapter 3 and title 19. What it says is you shall create a fire break of 30 feet up to the structure to limit the spread of fire to protect that structure. It is to remove any combustible vegetation. What is that . Not green. We are talking about chapter three. It is dead vegetation. That is the requirements. That is the general rule of thumb. Within chapter 3 it refers to chapter 49. That is where the wild land interface requirements come into play. If you want you can use that one microphone. They both work. Sorry for the distraction. Here is a map of california. Cdf put this out. It is for the whole state of california. The fire hazard severity zones. You will notice three different colors, four colors. White is federal land or local responsibility areas. You can focus in on San Francisco. It is hard to see. It is all white that is a local responsibility area, not a state responsibility area. There are three classifications. Moderate is yellow. High the orange and very high is red. There is a significant difference between local and state responsibility areas within chapter 49. There are different requirements depending if you are state or local. Here is San Francisco. We look at the. Thayellow. Those are moderate ar, according to cdf. That is yellow, moderate. Where isnt mi mcclaren parkn there . This come the division of for resty. This is a recommended map. The city and county of San Francisco can say we declare this whole county high hazard. Chapter 49 would apply and the rules would apply. This is a guidance given by the state, and that is what you will see as a draft as a recommended approach. This did not capture everything. We will get to specific requirements. Chapter 3 you can see the vegetation talks about weeds and grass, cut down remove any kind of combustible vegetation. Title 19 same. Highlighted in yellow here because under general requirements it refers to the 3g table. Bullet two which should be item two. The next highlighted yellow. You need local authority for extra hazard with the specific site. He or she can ask for greater Defensible Space. You can ask from 30 to 100 feet. That is up to 30 feet. This is chapter 49. It is the wild land urban interface requirements. The first highlighted area is cdf is the one that classifies the hazard areas. We look at applicability. Is this applicable . Under 4906. 2, the first part is. State responsibility area and you are moderate, high or very high chapter 49 applies. In number 2. If you are a local responsibility area, chapter 49 only applies for high hazard designated areas. That does not apply to San Francisco unless we selfimposuit on ourselves. That is the point there. Selfimpose that on ourselves. That is the point there. The reason i mention the minimum requirements is not to discount the concern about fire hazards. I think it is a starting point, a benchmark to look at. If we want to increase that, we can do it at the local level. The Fire Department is open to having further discussions with you if you choose to do so. There are are three ways to do this. We have a 30foot rule. We partner with other agencies. They have been very responsive. Anytime we had a complaint, they have been very responsive. It is not a proactive program, though. When we receive a fire complaint. We have a proactive program with dpw mentioned earlier where we send outletters every spring to clear is hillside. We can continue as we go on, we can task force this, team up with other departments to go visit the sites and come up a plan for each site or city and county of San Francisco can declare the whole county high hazard and we will apply 49 throughout. That is an option. If you were to do that, then chapter 7 of the Building Code kicks in. That restricts you on the Building Materials you can use adjacent to the child land areas. Wild land areas. The material on your roof, tile, you cant use wood shingles. Where to put the vents, the openings, windows, it is quite involved. Would only apply to new construction . Everything there would be grandfathered . Correct, correct. When you talk about Defensible Space, it is for the structure to prevent it. None of these areas have a large street, a man made break adjacent to the areas. You take that into account in the 30foot rule. I would like to mention the Fire Department does not have jurisdiction over federal land, state land, the p. U. C. Also, with that said we do partner with all of them when it comes to Fire Department access and proper water supply. We are the responding agency. I am happy to answer any questions. Thank you for stating the facts. I guess one reason why we are excited to have you here is to rely on your expertise in this area. Even though as chair peskin mentioned, the state may not have considered that of any threat, but if you were drawing the maps, would you include the park . Absolutely. This is where we are i would love to have you work closer to either my office or our offices to see how we can define this. My guess is that probably our areas whether it is mic chairren park that we could Pay Attention to. You made the offer to work closer with some of our other departments in terms of their land like rec and park. Recand park mentioned they would be more than willing to have you work with them. Can i have maybe a report back that in terms of when you say you are going to Work Together to look at these in a proactive way, is it something that we need to legislate or is it something that because we care about our residents that we would do this as just being good partner was the rest of the city. I would like to know what direction to take this. The more we are proactive. I started this hearing with the statement that, well, you know, what might have been good 10 yearyears ago is something we nd to look at how we approach our urban forest areas and other areas that would have a fire hazard because of the type of weather conditions we are seeing these days. I just dont want to excuse the expression have our pants down on this issue. We need to do the best we can. You know, we dont want to end up saying i wish we had done it. That is my sort of challenge to the Fire Department to work with other departments to like you said, site to site plans. I think that would work. I do not have a problem. I dont know if you need legislation for this. If we had a task force inspection. We would all meet together to come up with the criteria. What requirements are we going to implement ponziing certain conditions . How implement when we see certain conditions . Where do we draw the lawns. Unless we have an understanding how far to go casebycase basis. That is number one. When we get with other departments this is reasonable approach then we go out and do the site visits. I appreciate that. Anybody else . Are there scenarios that you can model . Obviously as we just saw, San Francisco doesnt have an urban interface as many other counties do. Historically, fire spray suppren in San Francisco is requiring sprinklers in apartment buildings. You and i have had that conversation about those grandfathered. I passed a law a few years ago because the law of 20 years ago didnt include basements and we were having fires in basements. We captured that going forward, not backwards. We are a highly urbanized area. All of our resource allocation has been around what is associated with a major event like an earthquake. We worry about extending awss and cobenefit pipeline to the west side and putting in cisterns. We dont have this conversation around the park merceds. If we want to impose upon ourselves something that is more strings get than the state imposes upon us with the resulting impacts to surroundings Property Owners or future development, is there away we can model the risk and derm whether or not this is not worth our time and money and we should do what we continue to do which is cisterns and expansion of awss and new intake man folds on port property or something we will look back at when there is a huge fire that burns down half of district 11. We will say we were not concentrating on the wrong things or not enough things. I know you cant predict fire. Can you model fire out of the relatively small handfuls of the recand park. They have wasted the afternoon because you are not a problem. I am having a problem. University of california are great partners. Is there a way to figure this out with some risk benefit assignment . Each site has a different level of risk. Tothe guidelines are there over the experience. They are there for a reason. They do call out for different grades and spacing of trees. That is from learning from past fires. It is already there. We can use those requirements where it is spelled out and say, hey, does this fall under, you know, that hazard. If i had a flat space and my trees are relatively spaced, is that a lesser hazard than in glenn canyon . Absolutely. The slope of the hill, proximity of the trees, canopies, the ground, the fuel on the ground. Yes, we can on a case to case with experience with what is already out there derm what is a greater hazard than other areas. I dont know if that answers your question. This is not one size fits alsoution. Whe fits alsoution. When there is a sidewalk and houses. It is more than 30 feet. It seems to me everything is about a defensible perimeter. The question is the standard is 30 but do we want to impose a larger perimeter, which would cut to dennys property, right . Do we want to do a comprehensive assessment of all of our urban interfaces and derm these are places where 30 feet is right. These are places where we need a larger perimeter before the fire jumps. I assume glenn canyon the fire burns uphill. At the top it is crowned and moving. You are still going uphill. Can it jump the street . Doesnt have to jump the street . Why . There are houses on the park side, too. To answer your question it is resources. Fire department is willing to go out there and visit each and every site. We can do that. The other think we take into account is our resources. The number of appar rat tuesday we get there in a timely matter and in the Water Supplies we take into account if i it is a Reasonable Risk or not . Good afternoon. One of my roles is to coordinate mutual response from the Fire Department to the state. For the last seven years i was responding to fires up and down the state. We have special equipment in all of that where they are assigned. They train all of the time. You will see us every mayor beginning of june training within the park for the city. We prepare for that. Wwe prepare for that in the cit. If this and your department and other departments were interested. The question is if we want to to allocate Financial Resources for jurisdiction and planning and see what that yields . I agree with that statement you just made, yes. It is november getting to february when everybody submits the budget to the mayor. It is a conversation to have as the rest of the state is burni burning. I agree with that. I guess i was alluding to that. There is really a way to plan this and figure out what resources we need to make this happen, let us know. I would like to be Crystal Clear. We do respond to these areas with other departments. If we need to clear areas, we will clear them. I am responding to your call about a comprehensive plan. I want to be sure we are Crystal Clear on that. To the earlier question that happens to be where i live and i say this to everybody, not only around issues of fire but every issue in this town except for when you get a parking ticket is complain driven. I get an email that says people are camped out on his property. That is how i learn about it. He gets the call. Gets the call. Is this an instance where we need to be more proactive . I think so. Thank you very much. I will be quick. It sounds like there are two potential projects here. One requires Greater Partnership between the fire marshal and departments. One is making sure we do the things we think we are doing now. We think we are maintaining this 30foot area. It would be really great for people in glenn canyon living on a house next to glenn canyon to have the reassurance the fire marshal has checked out that 30foot area and given it his blessing that we are good. At least in so far as we are upholding the state standards, based upon what the state is telling us, nobody here should be worried. There may be a secondary project that may require more money. Does San Francisco want its own standards. We are dense on top of each other with the memory of the 1906 earthquake. There is kind of two things in there. I do think and what i present to you is a immediate task of doing the checking to make sure in areas with special concern like glenn canyon that, yes, at least as far as our current standards, San Francisco has got this right and we checked. You can be absured about that. I dont remember 1906, but i remember 1989. If there are no other presenters, lets open this up to public comment. Would you like to speak to item 3 . Thank you for spending your afternoon with us . Coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods. At the october General Assembly meeting the coalition passed a resolution regarding emergency firefighting capabilities. Besides the transit it includes water and sewer replacement, the water supply system. Doing this would be consistent with the city policy. It is a shovel ready project. Installing dedicated would provide direct firefighting coverage fo for the for police. It would contribute to the citys ability to prevent and manage wildfires as to the owned property. Thank you. Mr. Sig. Jake sig. I have been leading volunteers working for the city for 29 years now. The last three weeks we have been working on Mount Davidson. It is very much on my mind. We got the natural Management Plan passed a couple years ago. Nothing is done. The ivy crawling up the trees, they are full of dead leaves. They can easily start a fire from the ground up to the crown. I can see with the kind of weather we have been having with the cold, dry winds out of the north, they fortunately did not last very long. Sometimes like in the past they do. In october 1991 in oakland, that was exactly the kind of weather they had, and the combination of that and a spark, Mount Davidson could go. It is a frightening prospect even though it is not likely to happen, but what if it does . It appears it is mostly a matter of money. The risk of the city burning down for lack of money does not make any sense. I want to mention the Fire Department and cal fire came to a meeting about seven or eight years ago and explained the risk of a fire happening. It is identical conditions on Mount Davidson, just different landowners. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Thank you. I am paul. I want to speak on this issue. Regarding the wild land interface, the maps the state put out are based on relative humidity and the fact we normally have a higher humidity than most of the other wild land areas. There are times when the conditions are right we can have a catastrophic wildfire with loss to lives and property, and what the city doesnt have is unconventional firefighting methods. While they are really good at doing code enforcement, Defensible Space, which is really important, they have conventional firefighting methods. What gets the upper hand on the firestorms which glen park canyon, mic chairren park and Billy Goat Hill and others, we would need unconventional methods for the head of the fire which you cant fight with conventional methods, you need water drops. The city has helicopters. Is it possible through the Fire Department no longer. Okay. There is going to be a time when there arent any aerial support because they are occupied somewhere else and timing is on the essence. What the city needs is nonconventional firefighting with therel copter with aerial drops in the parklands, national parklands, stateowned properties and city properties. Thank you. Next speaker, please. I am betsy eddy president of Diamond HeightsCommunity Foundation which has been meeting for 11 years to prepare the neighborhood for emergencies. I am encouraged by the hearing today and the questions by the supervisors, but we really do perceive a much more dangerous fire hazard than some of the people here today. It was just three years ago that Diamond Heights started to realize there is an urban wildfire hazard here in glenn canyon park and in the five parks that surround Diamond Heights. On a very windy day, there is the potential for a fire started in a park to reach home. I want to give an example. Our winds are so fierce they sometimes knock me over and some of the trees go at a slant because of the wind. There are windy areas of San Francisco but the wind in Diamond Heights, green park would carry a fire up the canyon described together. 30foot Defensible Space is not going to stop the fires from spreading. I could take a picture of every fire hazard in glenn canyon, the pictures of the dead trees and dead logs and dried grass that could spread a fire really quickly. I hope the fire marshal and Fire Department will take a look at that themselves with their environmental crews. Thank you very much. Any other members of the public to testify . Public comment is closed. President yee. Thank you to all departments and u. C. S. F. And procedo land trust. There seems to be two areas to work with rec and park to look at the issues brought up by the public and also supervisor mandelman. I think glenn canyon we need to look at more carefully. I would follow up with the current park to see what needs addressed in terms of the conditions in that area. Again, i want to move beyond the immediate actions that you could take and look at a long term comprehensive plan for San Francisco and see you how we can improve our situation. Lets dont wait until something happens, lets prepare for it. Thank you very much. Thank you to each and every department for coming and the members of the public, supervisor mad delmen. Do you want to continue or file this . We could file this and if we have a policy to put together. I will take that without objection. We are adjourned. Happy monday. The Bicycle Coalition was giving away 33 bicycles so i applied. I was happy to receive one of them. The Community Bike build program is the San Francisco coalitions way of spreading the joy of biking and freedom of biking to residents who may not have access to affordable transportation. The city has an ordinance that we worked with them on back in 2014 that requires city agency goes to give organizations like the San Francisco bicycle organization a chance to take bicycles abandoned and put them to good use or find new homes for them. The partnerships with organizations generally with organizations that are working with low income individuals or families or people who are transportation dependent. We ask them to identify individuals who would greatly benefit from a bicycle. We make a list of people and their heights to match them to a bicycle that would suit their lifestyle and age and height. Bicycle i received has impacted my life so greatly. It is not only a form of recreation. It is also a means of getting connected with the community through bike rides and it is also just a feeling of freedom. I really appreciate it. I am very thankful. We teach a class. They have to attend a one hour class. Things like how to change lanes, how to make a left turn, right turn, how to ride around cars. After that class, then we would give everyone a test chance chance to test ride. We are giving them as a way to get around the city. Just the joy of like seeing people test drive the bicycles in the small area, there is no real word. I guess enjoyable is a word i could use. That doesnt describe the kind of warm feelings you feel in your heart giving someone that sense of freedom and maybe they havent ridden a bike in years. These folks are older than the normal crowd of people we give bicycles away to. Take my picture on my bike. That was a great experience. There were smiles all around. The recipients, myself, supervisor, everyone was happy to be a part of this joyous occasion. At the end we normally do a group ride to see people ride off with these huge smiles on their faces is a great experience. If someone is interested in volunteering, we have a special section on the website sf bike. Org volunteer you can sign up for both events. We have given away 855 bicycles, 376 last year. We are growing each and every year. I hope to top that 376 this year. We frequently do events in bayview. The spaces are for people to come and work on their own bikes or learn skills and give them access to something that they may not have had access to. For me this is a fun way to get outside and be active. Most of the time the kids will be in the house. This is a fun way to do something. You get fresh air and you dont just stay in the house all day. Iit is a good way to exercise. The Bicycle Coalition has a Bicycle Program for every community in San Francisco. It is connecting the young, older community. It is a wonderful outlet for the community to come together to have some good clean fun. It has opened to many doors to the young people that will usually might not have a bicycle. I have seen them and they are thankful and i am thankful for this program. Once i got the hang of it a little bit, you know, like the first time, i never left the court. I just fell in love with it and any opportunity i had to get out there, you know, they didnt have to ask twice. You can always find me on the court. [ ] we have been able to participate in 12 athletics wheelchairs. They provide what is an expensive tool to facilitate basketball specifically. Behind me are the amazing golden state road warriors, which are one of the most competitive adaptive basketball teams in the state led by its captain, chuck hill, who was a National Paralympic and, and is now an assistant coach on the national big team. It is great to have this opportunity here in San Francisco. We are the main hub of the bay area, which, you know, we should definitely have resources here. Now that that is happening, you know, i im looking forward to that growing and spreading and helping spread the word that needs that these people are here for everyone. I think it is important for people with disabilities, as well as ablebodied, to be able to see and to try different sports, and to appreciate trying different things. People can come and check out this chairs and use them. But then also friday evening, from 6 00 p. M. Until 8 00 p. M. , it will be wheelchair basketball we will make sure it is available, and that way people can no that people will be coming to play at the same time. We offer a wide variety of adaptive and inclusion programming, but this is the first time we have had our own equipment. [ ] a way of life in San Francisco. When the next major quake hits, the city hopes a new law requiring seismic upgrades to five story buildings will help keep more residents safe and sound. Tell me a little about the soft Story Program. What is it . Its a program the mayor signed into law about a year and a half ago and the whole idea behind it was to help homeowners strengthen buildings so that they would not collapse. Did you the soft Story Program apply to all buildings or building that were built in a certain time frame . It only applies to buildings built in the time frame of 1978 and earlier. Its aimed at wood framed buildings that are three or more stories and five or more units. But the openings at the garage level and the street level arent supported in many buildings. And without the support during a major earthquake, they are expected to pancake and flatten ~. Many of the buildings in this program are under rent control so its to everybodys advantage to do the work and make sure they protect their investment and their tenant. Notices have gone out to more than 6,000 owners of potentially atrisk properties but fewer than onethird have responded and thousands might miss an important deadline in september to tell the city what they plan to do. Lets talk worst case scenario. What happens in a collapse . Buildings have the tendency of rolling over. The first soft story walls lean over and the building collapse. In an earthquake the building is a total loss. Can you describe what kind of strengthening is involved in the retrofit . One of the basic concepts, you want to think of this building kind of like rubber band and the upper three floor are very rigid box and the garage is a very flexible element. In an earthquake the garage will have a tendency to rollover. You have to rubber band analogy that the first floor is a very tough but flexible rubber band such that you never drive force he to the upper floors. Where all your damage goes into controlled element like plywood or steel frame. So, here we are actually inside of a soft story building. Can we talk a little about what kinds of repairs Property Owners might expect . Its a very simple process. We deliberately tried to keep it that way. So, whats involved is plywood, which when you install it and make a wall as we have done here already, then you cover it with this gypsum material. This adds some flexibility so that during the earthquake youll get movement but not collapse. And that gets strengthened even more when we go over to the steel frame to support the upper floor. So, potentially the wood and the steel it sounds like a fairly straightforward process takes your odds of collapse from one in 4 to one in 30 . Thats exactly right. Thats why were hoping that people will move quickly and make this happen. Great. Lets take a look. So, lets talk steel frames. Tell me what we have going on here. Well, we have a steel frame here. There are two of these and they go up to the lower floor and there is a beam that go across, basically a box that is much stiffer and stronger. ~ goes so that during the earthquake the upper floor will not collapse down on this story. It can be done in about two weeks time. Voila, youre done. Easy. For more information on how to get your building earthquake ready,y,y,y,y,y,y,y,y,y,y,y,y,y, [roll call] item number 2, opportunity for the public to comment on any matter within the committees jurisdiction that is not on the agenda. Seeing none, were going to move on to item number 3, approval with possible modifications of the minutes of the august 26th, 2019, meeting. Minutes, any objections . I dont have objections, but i did note a lot of typos in there. I marked
