From growing movements and learn every day by being active in them we are to follow the lead of young people with her was on saturday with the millions much more with other actions or follow read of africanamericans but im still going to be supportive of the original motion supervisor autos has brought in a really appreciate the comments and the insights and the wisdom that have spoken from the community. Ideal following the lead of africanamericans is really really important to me but i do feel that supervisor comments suggestions have logic behind them, my political sense is its watering down and its taking away the real heart of the alex movement and how San Francisco is connected. So, we are making connections with other types of violence and other issues. I feel like the avalos resolution is really focused on institutionalized racism within the Justice System and the Police System and its about a full systems change and cultural change. There are other issues out there also but i think thats the focus. So all be supportive of the supervisors avaloss original motion with appreciation for the amendments but ill still be supportive. I think supervisors kims suggestion to compromise by still mentioning alex is a good one and i be supportive of that if the original motion doesnt go forward in supervisor s moments are successful. To me the most important things are the result as others have said and putting this on record in support of the ferguson action. The ferguson Action Movement statements and the structural changes that are proposed in them to me are the most important things. I know that the heart that went into the drafting of this from germany and pollock two supervisor although wilsons office, and the Community Efforts to get the language the strong as possible is something him and said supportive supervisor autos thing. I like to start moving on voting for amendments and probably will have some process questions. I have an amendment as a whole. I believe that supervisor amendments are religious amendment of the hole that i have here today. So, i believe that this amendment as a whole is actually more complete document than the work in progress that submitted last week. So i would propose that we accept this amendment as a whole and we have a vote on the [inaudible] that are being proposed by supervisor . I am willing to go forward if we cannot approve the amendments, if we do not approve the minutes that supervisor is accepting, that we move forward that we dont pass this ordinance but we have on the books the ordinance that i submitted today that i think is a much broader than the one that i submitted last week it was just a work in progress. Thats my proposal. Is that we accept the amendment as a whole. And then we have a vote on the amendment that are being offered by supervisor and then we vote on the underlined ordinance. I do believe we need to pass this ordinance we would need, you both mdm. Clerk this item is on second appearance. It would require a goes to weave the reference to committee and its expose on the item itself. So at this time i think that supervisor autos stated we can take the amendments that been offered in the order they have been received. So, mdm. Clerk lets call well on the mimicked the whole offered by supervisor autos the messrs. Further discussion point of information supervisor autos has made a motion to amend. [inaudible] motion to motion to extend the motion which might be unanimous and then we would proceed on whether to adopt that amendment. There to amendments as a whole ending before sereno so theres one set by supervisor autos and one by supervisor . Then we will proceed to the underlying item divorce. Item 52. This is a six vote threshold. All be supporting just amending it so we can consider that amended. That is correct the motions were taken right now have to do with just the moment as all permits submitted by the two supervisors. Any other further questions, seeing none mdm. Clerk supervisor autos the moment bearing a new title supervisor winner aye supervisor autos aye supervisor breed aye supervisor campos aye supervisor aye supervisor federal aye supervisor kim aye supervisor mark aye supervisor chang aye there are nine aye that amendment has been adopted. Now, we have the Second Amendment does offer by supervisor . So this amendment might be amendment of the holder supervisor submitted actually is overlaid on top of the minutes that have not been adopted just out by the board. So mdm. Clerk if you could take a local boat on the mimicked offered by supervisor supervisor winner aye supervisor avalos no supervisor breed aye supervisor campos aye noto supervisor aye supervisor federal aye supervisor kim know supervisor mark note supervisor chang aye there are five aye and for nose seen as this amendment it needed six those to be adopted this amendment fails. Now colleagues, before us is the underlying item 52, and first other to call supervisor breed personal i like to duplicate the file and secondly i will not be supporting the resolution today. Thank you supervisor breed has made a singular motion to duplicate the file. I just like to clarify that wanted duplicated file which would you like to see good one is contained supervisor autos is amendments for clarity, it would be based on the recently amended item that supervisor avalos has submitted to the board that we approved thank you. Supervisor i was seconding the duplication thank you very much. So now mdm. Clerk if we can vote on one of the files in after we vote on this matter president then will tend to the duplicate items yes does the duplicated file require about no it does not on item 52 as amended supervisor winner note supervisor avalos this is the underlined ordinance aye supervisor breed note supervisor compost aye supervisor , note supervisor fell, note supervisor came, aye supervisor mark aye supervisor chang, no. There are four aye and five no spirit this resolution is not adopted. Now for the dupe. File. Just for clarity i want to duplicate the file and send it to committee. All right. For the duplicated file mdm. Clerk if we can take a roll call vote for sending this to committee. Supervisor winner aye supervisor avalos, note supervisor breed, aye supervisor compost, note supervisor , aye supervisor federal aye supervisor kim, no supervisor mark, note supervisor chang aye there are five aye and for nose. This just for clarification, this motioned to send to committee required five votes because it is a parliamentary motion. It required majority vote of the members present here today so that motion to send committee passes. Now mdm. Clerk, if you could read in memoriam todays meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following beloved individuals. On behalf of supervisor the late mr. Lewis Jesse Armstrong senior. On behalf of supervisor jim for the late ms. Liana [inaudible] on behalf of supervisor more for the late ms. Laura joan by. Mr. Choi [inaudible] thank you. Before we adjourn i just want to wish our colleague supervisor leo a very happy birthday today and wish everyone a very happy holidays. Mdm. Clerk is there any further business that was our business for today and the legislative session thank you. The meeting is now adjourned. What if you could make a memorial that is more about information and you are never fixed and it can go wherever it wants to go . Everyone who has donated to it could use it, host it, share it. For quite a great deal of team she was hired in 2005, she struggled with finding the correct and appropriate visual expression. It was a bench at one point. It was a darkened room at another point. But the theme always was a theme of how do we call peoples attention to the issue of speci species extinction. Many exhibits do make long detailed explanations about species decline and biology of birds and that is very useful for lots of purposes. But i think it is also important to try to pull at the strings inside people. Missing is not just about specific extinct or endangered species. It is about absence and a more fundamental level of not knowing what we are losing and we need to link species loss to habitat loss and really focuses much on the habitat. Of course the Overall Mission of the academy has to do with two really fundamental and important questions. One of which is the nature of life. How did we get here . The second is the challenge of sustainability. If we are here how are we going to find a way to stay . These questions resonated very strongly with maya. On average a species disappears every 20 minutes. This is the only media work that i have done. I might never do another one because im not a media artist per se but i have used the medium because it seemed to be the one that could allow me to convey the sounds and images here. Memorials to me are different from artworks. They are artistic, but memorials have a function. It is a beautiful scupltural objective made with bronze and lined with red wood from water tanks in clear lake. That is the scupltural form that gives expression to mayas project. If you think about a cone or a bull horn, they are used to get the attention of the crowd, often to communicate an Important Message. This project has a very Important Message and it is about our earth and what we are losing and what we are missing and what we dont even know is gone. So, what is missing is starting with an idea of loss, but in a funny way the shape of this cone is, whether you want to call it like the r. C. A. Victor dog, it is listen to the earth and what if we could create a portal that could look at the past, the present and the future . You can change what is then missing by changing the software, by changing what is projected and missing. So, missing isnt a static installation. It is an installation that is going to grow and change over time. And she has worked to bring all of this information together from laboratory after laboratory including, fortunately, our great fwroup of researche e g researchers at the California Academy. This couldnt have been more Site Specific to this place and we think just visually in terms of its scupltural form it really holds its own against the architectural largest and grandeur of the building. It is an unusual compelling object. We think it will draw people out on the terrace, they will see the big cone and say what is that. Then as they approach the cone tell hear these very unusual sounds that were obtained from the cornell orinthology lab. We have the largest recording of birds, mammals, frogs and insects and a huge library of videos. So this is an absolutely perfect opportunity for us to team up with a world renown, very creative inspirational artist and put the sounds and sights of the animals that we study into a brandnew context, a context that really allows people to appreciate an esthetic way of the idea that we might live in the World Without these sounds or sites. In the scientific realm it is shifting baselines. We get used to less and less, diminished expectations of what it was. When i came along lobsters six feet long and oysters 12 inches within they days all the oyster beds in new york, manhattan, the harbor would clean the water. So, just getting people to wake up to what was just literally there 200 years ago, 150 years ago. You see the object and say what is that. You come out and hear these intriguing sounds, sounds like i have never heard in my life. And then you step closer and you almost have a very intimate experience. We could link to different institutions around the globe, maybe one per continent, maybe two or three in this country, then once they are all networked, they begin to communicate with one another and share information. In 2010 the website will launch, but it will be what you would call an informational website and then we are going to try to, by 2011, invite people to add a memory. So in a funny way the member rely grows and there is something organic about how this memorial begins to have legs so to speak. So we dont know quite where it will go but i promise to keep on it 10 years. My goal is to raise awareness and then either protect forests from being cut down or reforest in ways that promote biodiversity. Biodiverse city often argued to be important for the worlds human populations because all of the Medicinal Plants and uses that we can put to it and fiber that it gives us and food that it gives us. While these are vital and important and worth literally hundreds of billions of dollars, the part that we also have to be able to communicate is the more spiritual sense of how important it is that we get to live side by side with all of these forms that have three billion years of history behind them and how tragic it would be not commercially and not in a utilitarian way but an emotio l emotional, psychological, spiritual way if we watch them one by one disappear. This is sort of a merger between art and science and advocacy in a funny way getting people to wake unand realize what is going on wake up and realize what is going on. So it is a memborial trying to get us to interpret history and look to the past. They have always been about lacking at the past so we proceed forward and maybe dont commit the same mistakes.

Were looking at earthquake issues. And today were going to be talking with a residential Building Owner about what residential Building Owners and tenants can and should do before earthquakes and after earthquakes. Were here at this wonderful spur exhibit on Mission Street in San Francisco and i have with me today my good friend george. Thanks for joining me, george. And george has for a long time owned Residential Property here in San Francisco. And we want to talk about apartment buildings and what the owners responsibilities might be and what they expect their tenants to do. And lets start by talking a little bit about what owners can do before an earthquake and then maybe after an earthquake. Well, the first thing, lawrence, would be to get together with your tenants and see if they have earthquake insurance or any renters insurance in place because thats going to be key to protecting them in the event of a quake. And renters insurance, there are two kinds of insurance. Renters insurance coffers damage to goods and content and so forth. Earthquake insurance is a separate policy you get after you get renters insurance through the california earthquake authority, very inexpensive. And it helps owners and it helps tenants because it gives relocation costs and it pays their rent. This is a huge impact on Building Owners. Its huge, it really is. You know, a lot of owners dont realize that, you know, when there is an earthquake, their money flow is going to stop. How are they going to pay their mortgages, how are they going to pay their other bills, how are they going to live . What else can Property Owners do in Residential Rental housing before an earthquake . Well, the first thing you want to do is get your property assessed. Find out what the geology is at your site. Get an expert in to look at structural and nonstructural losses. The structural losses, a lot of times, arent going to be that bad if you prepare. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Get in there and get your property assessed and figure it out. So, what is a nonstructural issue that might cause losses . Well, you know, pipes, for instance. Pipes will whip around during an earthquake. And if theyre anchored in more numerous locations, that whipping wont cause a breakage that will cause a flood. Ive heard water damage is a major, major problem after earthquakes actually. It is. Thats one of the big things. A lot of things falling over, ceilings collapsing. But all of this can be prevented by an expert coming in and assessing where those problem areas and often the fixes are really, really cheap. Who do you call when you want to have that kind of assessment or evaluation done . The Structural Engineering community is great. We have the Structural Engineers association of Northern California right here in San Francisco. Theyre a wealth of information and resources. What kinds of things might you encourage tenants to do besides simply get tenants renters insurance and earthquake insurance, what else do you think tenants should do . I think its really important to know if they happen to be in the building where is the safest place for them to go when the shaking starts. If theyre out of the building, whats their continuity plan for connecting with family . They should give their Emergency Contact information to their resident manager so that the resident manager knows how to get in touch. And have emergency supplies on hand. The tenants should be responsible to have their extra water and flashlights and bandages and know how to use a toilet when theres no sewage and water flows down. And the owners of the building should be proactive in that regard as well. So, george, thank you so much for joining us. That was really great. And thanks to spur for hosting us here in this wonderful exhibit. And thank you for joining us good afternoon. Welcome to our San Francisco board of supervisors meeting of december 16, 2014.
