Mayor the San Francisco play lawn bowling is in Golden Gate Park were sharing meadow for more information about the club including free lessons log welc did you know that many buildings in San Francisco are not bolted to the foundation on todays episode well learn how the option to bolt our foundation in an earthquake. Hi, everybody welcome to another episode of stay safe im the director of earthquake safety in the city and county of San Francisco im joined by a friend matt. Thank you thanks for being with us were in a garage but at the el cap center south of market in San Francisco what weve done a simulated the garage to show you what it is like to make the improvements and reduce the reflexes of earthquake were looking at Foundation Bolts what do they do. The Foundation Bolts are one of the strengthening system they hold the lowest piece of wood onto the foundation that prevents the allows from sliding during an earthquake that is a bolt over the original construction and these are typically put in along the foundation to secure the house to the Foundation One of the things well show you many types of bolts lets go outside and show the vufrdz were outside the epic center in downtown San Francisco well show 3 different types of bolts we have a e poxy anchor. It is a type of anchor that is adhesive and this is a rod well embed both the awe hey that embeds it into the foundation that will flip over a big square washer so it secured the mud sell to the foundation well need to big drill luckily we have peter from the company that will help us drill the first hole. So, now we have the hole drilled ill stick the bolt in and e postoffice box it. That wouldnt be a bad idea but the dust will prevent the e postoffice box from bonding we need to clean the hole out first. So, now we have properly cleaned hole whats the next step. The next step to use e postoffice box 2 consultants that mixes this together and get them into tubes and put a notice he will into the hole and put the e postoffice box slowly and have a hole with e postoffice box. Now it is important to worm or remember when you bolt our own foundation you have to go to 9 department of building inspection and get a permit before you start what should we look at next what i did next bolt. A couple of anchors that expand and we can try to next that will take a hole that hole is drilled slightly larger marathon the anchor size for the e postoffice box to flow around the anchor and at expansion is going into the hole the same dinning room well switch tamet so, now we have the second hole drilled what next. This is the anchor and this one has hard and Steel Threads that cuts their way into the concrete it is a ti ton anchor with the same large square so similar this didnt require e postoffice box. Thats correct you dont needed for the e postoffice box to adhere overnight it will stick more easily. And so, now it is good to go is that it. Thats it. The third anchor is a universal Foundation Plate when you dont have room above our foundation to drill from the top. So, now we have our Foundation Plate and the tightened screw a couple of ways to take care of a foundation whats the best. The best one depends on what your house is like and our contractors experience theyre sometimes considered the cadillac anchor and triplely instead of not witting for the e postoffice box this is essentially to use when you dont have the overhead for the foundation it really depends on the contractor and engineering what they prefer. Talking to a qualified professional and see what i want to thank our city administrator and her public works director for being here with the dpw street paving crew. Also, our Neighborhood Services as well. Derek, thank you for being here this morning. We are here to go to work. I know its a Political Year and everybodys talking about some big election that were going to have but, i think the real story is about the mostly the men today get where are the women . We have to deal with that get there we go. Where are your hardhats . Okay. Well, i was there is a men and women. Today is mostly men that are out here. At our neighborhood corridor and this is of coarse, one in many many neighborhoods across the city where we get a chance because our city is economically strong and thanks to our Capital Program that our city administrator is involved in. Thanks to their mind or from a public works that they want to be out here paving all of our streets. You know, one of the great people that in a city that is increasingly become very expensive for people is our own streets. If our streets can be paid everybody can use them whether you are a senior, whether you are a young person, whether a bicycle rider. When you take a ride share with you guide drive your own vehicle back and forth, everyone uses our streets. Thats a great equalizer and when we fix it up than every single neighborhood of the city benefits from this. This is sometimes what we were for to as shared prosperity of the city. In years past, when we did not have the resources in our Capital Program suffered, then our parks and our streets suffered first. I want to say that we just concluded next two years our Capital Program over four lap 411 million from our Capital Planning and he and our whole bunch of smart numbers people get in there and they crunch numbers and they say, hey, look, if we spend this amount than that apartment late dpw can say, you can get to that magic seven. Is every window with the magic 70 is . This a pci index that engineers know about. I plot the others and the engineer department and they will tell you thats how street levels are graded in cities like San Francisco. Its what they call a pci index. For over 30 years, we got close to this number 70 and now its within eyesight. I think if we are disciplined in making sure that our capital money sources are spent in paving all of our streets were to get to this magic number 70, which is something weve not a published in over 30 years of investment. That every year its been the streets come do we want to do that or do we want to do trees. People voted for the trees did that was parks and people voted for parks. That was Health Institutions and people voted for the Health Institutions. So we never got a story out there about how streets are so important to us and how maintaining them is a Great Service to every single neighborhood in the syndicate were finally able to do that and this is important and its part of our 10 year capital plan, but were funding the next two years at 411 million. Thats a significant amount. I know that those that are involved in our Capital Planning have something to smile about because its not just streets good streets is one of the key examples. Thats why we are here today. We are going to do more of the streets for the benefit of all of our neighborhoods, all across the city. Over the next two years. But in addition to streets, infrastructure is about all the other aspects assets that we have. For example, they dpw horizon particularly for engineers is outrageous. Third street grades. Christmas creek bridge. They have to be maintained and put in a good state repair. Guess what . The largest population growth is happening in the southern part of our city and were needing to grant across those bridges a lot. Those are bridges that are constantly used for mission bay, for all of the development in the dogpatch and in the Hunters Point area. There also going to be of course, a ballpark and eventually [inaudible]. So, thats going to happen in the next couple of years. Those bridges will get repaired. In addition to that, there is something that we have not talked about in public a lot. Something a little more hidden in ourunderneath our streets, but something ive been dedicated to discussing with the port about and thats the infrastructure called rc wall. That seawall is goes all the way from the Fishermans Wharf area all the way down to the ballpark and onto your 50. That seawall is absolutely critical for everything that is from the water to the peers to the embarcadero roadway. If we dont keep that seawall up in good shape, the water eventually, will you road all the infrastructure underneath, which includes our wastewater, unclean water, all of the utilities, will all be subject to incredible incredible cost is not danger, in of course, the majority of our ports assets we lie on the seawall. Its about time we started talking about it because the seawall is over 100 years old and we have not made any very significant investments in the seawall. Thats another part of our infrastructure. Theres another part of our infrastructure that we dont talk about until theres flooding in the city. That is places like telegraph hill. You know, that very steep hill where i kind of look up and i get nervous and all those condominiums up on top and how steep that hillside and every year, every two years or three years, when the heavy rains come, you see a little bit of a you rose and i called the City Engineer or all call these private companies that dpw has oncology whats going on. They say, well, the earth is moving. Its sliding. We got to reinforce those cliff areas around the telegraph hill. Otherwise, thousands of homes will be in jeopardy. This is all part of infrastructure, all part of Capital Planning. When we do Capital Planning at 10 year stretches, we want to take care of infrastructure like these and we do it in a very land way. We do it in the way it does not shop the general fund every two years, and when we do this planning everything, all of our assets get touched. They get treated. In one year itll be these kinds of things like our streets and our hillsides and are bridges,. Another year it will be our parks. Another year it will be our cultural institutions that need to get a touch. You talk about parks. Again, thats an asset that everybody enjoys. Particularly, if youre a senior or families with children, more and more of our parks are being used with to keep them clean. Keep these assets not only clean but expanded, weupdated refreshed, and this is how i think our city is so successful with our residents. So, i want to say today, thank you dw for being out here. Particularly, the mostly men and some women that are going to be picking this street the right way and its going to last 50 years, right . Not to come up here for another 50 years. So when we do this, we do it right. Yes. Weve got to tell everybody when we do the streets, that the tell all the utilities were coming in because i dont than breaking into the street saying you do not tell us about it we notify everywhere. We have the residence and of course the residence of the happiest. They get to come out and drive on some smooth streets. They dont have to tell me at least this block, will be donated stories about how their transmissions not ruined and had to buy new tires. But we need this kind of treatment to get to this pci index we been longing for, where the grading of our streets by the federal highway administration, who funds part of this, by the state, will say that lets keep this kind of highlevel streets smoothness in our capacity, and every neighborhood will benefit from it and all the neighborhoods will be better as a result. It begins with good planning. Weve got all the people that will execute all this. And the more you were out here in the neighborhoods of getting things done or fixing our streets, or fixing on herschel corridor, again, with public works leadership, were putting additional pit stops were people need them, they dont need them in this neighborhood, but in other neighborhoods, were going to keep a Good Relationship with our neighbors and i hope that the neighbors will want us to finish this quickly and go on to the next streets. But, thank you to the men and women of pablos for your dedication,. Keep working hard to get this stuff done and then go on to the next week. Would you do all employee. By the way, the next two years of infrastructure work that i just talked about over 3400 jobs keeps everybody employed. That, again, we have such a low Unemployment Rate but i never want to ever forget that when i started people were screaming at me for more jobs. Now we get to employ more people. Does that feel better . With a lot of jobs . Yes. Our dignity to move forward with these really good jobs. I get, what effect our city administrator, public works director, art and Neighborhood Services and Capital Planning group for everything they do and thats keep on working and thats what our neighborhoods. Thank you. [applause] thank you mr. Made. Naomi kelly city administrator and have the honor to chair the 10 year capital plan. Its a 1. 6 6,000,000,000. 10 year plan that is transparent with a public process process. The plan that oversees our infrastructure over the next 10 years and helps us prioritize where to spend our money over the next 10 years and its creating more jobs. As the mayor mention. Our Unemployment Rate is down to about 3. 1 . Thank you, mr. Mayor are all the jobs youre creating in the city. One of the reasons that are Capital Planning process is so successful, started by the former former city administrator current mayor, ed lee 11 years ago and because of our longrange comprehensive planning where we are looking at projects, weve estimated how much the projects are going to be and when were going to complete it, then we make good on that promise. The voters and the residence of San Francisco have appreciated. We delivered on a sf general hospital. We delivered on time and on budget a Public Safety building. We are keeping our promises and we are delivering our promises to the voters and the residence of the city. Simply put, because of this good planning, arbitron ratings are high. They trust what we are doing in this 10 year longrange processor stopping flybynight ideas together. We are actually doing a lot of planning. So, i want to thank the department of public works in all the work they do. The clues behind us because as a resident in San Francisco in i enjoyed writing over smooth streets and i look forward to driving down the street very soon. Thank you. [applause] thank you all for coming out. I am probably the most excited one of all. Everybody out here today get me along with my cruise because of the commitment that the mayor and city administrator have made towards improving our city. You heard from the mayor stabilizing telegraph hill. Fixing our bridges. Fixing our playgrounds. Our firehouses. All the things people want to the Capital Planning process, those are prioritized and does receive funding in the next two years. To seeyou will see the big difference. I think since the last two years under the mayors leadership, we have a better working relationship with city partners. The Public Utilities commission, the mta. Together, were working really hard to deliver the projects that make a difference for the people of San Francisco. We have some projects in the works and now and those are the result of some of the Capital Planning also. My cell street is being done. Potrero right there thereby the new hospital thats being done right up to ocean avenue is being done and coming soon, we have a lot more. We have second street. Second street is going to be an entire new design with nice bike pathways among nice sidewalks where people can walk, and really achieving the type of streetscape that offers twice the sky city like San Francisco should have. Today, were paving the street that was last week caved in 1989. The payment was given score was 1500 at the end of today this pavement score will be 100. 100. Thats what were doing. Were going all around the city and paving streets. This year, our goal was to pave 600 bucks and were already at 639. Weve exceeded the number of blocks that were plan. So im very very [applause] from public works, were very very appreciative for giving us all this work. I think that that city people San Francisco are appreciative, and lets go and do some painting and finish this block mayor. Thank you. Thank you very much and we have the hardhats . Hello.

The playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the childrens play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features. The playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. We want kids to be here. We want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. We are given a real responsibility to insure that the publics money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. We generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. And it is really, really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties and as a result of, what you see behind us, more kids are playing on our soccer fields than ever before.

And so, on behalf of the city and county of San Francisco, to the entire team of people who put together and make sure not just that the physical building gets open, that the art will inspire us, that we embrace both the creativeness and innovation that it reflects, but also that it touches our historic ties of having a brandnew fire station at the same time, its done so well.

Thank you because the pleasure to join the official tammy of San Francisco to be at this opening and also to see so many families of San Francisco who are here for the 21 years ago when San Francisco sf moma ipo which is speaking that day after the same families to help that happen and now an ever widening circle of friends. Of course, well deeply in debt to chuck schwab for his incredible leadership. His commitment to excellence in everything he does good we all blessed by your leadership, [applause] to the fisher family, what a remarkable thing. Doris, its all beautiful. Its a beautiful good i agree with bob, john wouldve had some other little thing going. But you to all the fisher family, thank you so much. To neilare we blessed to have him . Isnt he just wonderful . [applause] i saw the opera house and ballet in oslo how beautiful and now how beautiful this is good we are so honored that your cultural minister is with us today and counsel general. Let me just say this. The mayor talked about how important this is for the city and what an important date this is for the city and it is indeed, but the important day for our country as well. President kennedy said the life of the art are very close to the core purpose of our nation. This is true and even our founders recognized that way back when. John adams, just about four years after nation was established, you go to abigail and he said to her i must study war and politics so that our children can study agriculture and commerce, other subjects, so that their children have the liberty to study music and art and painting and porcelain and tapestry. He went on. But that was about our countrys commitment to make i think giving more opportunity to future generations. That is the core of america. But even at that time our founders john adams saw that more opportunity in the arts with central to our country. So, here we are on this day. This great day where San Francisco once again continues to affirm its leadership in arts and culture. Much as in the nation but the world. I love what i heard what chuck said, chairman schwab said in his remarks about the children, the mayor as well. The opening of this building in San Francisco sf moma has made a commitment to children so that they as john adams would have loved to hear, can have access and be exposed to the beautiful worldclass art. The incredible collection of doris and john fisher and her family being central to it. Those children will see freedom of expression and learn to appreciate it around them and inside of them. That freedom of expression is also manifested in our city by having so many artists. Greg, with so many artists in San Francisco in fact San Francisco is the city that gets more grants from the National Endowment for the arts than any city except new york but there 10 times bigger than we are. But that Free Expression in our ty is just a continuation of the value that we placed, and i cant help but thinking of the poet shelley said the greatest force for moral good is imagination. Imagination. To see things in other ways. Here we are, this living temple of imagination. An inspiration for all of us to be creative in our lives, in our work, for our country, for our children. A champion of all of that creativity and inspiration is a great director, neilglad the privilege pleasure to bring him back up. [applause] congressman congresswomansorry, what beautiful an absolute inspiring words. Thank you so much that i like now to do is invite chuck and bob, mayor, craig, up to the podium. We dont cut with interior sf moma. We do things a little bit differently. Okay. Whats up with open this museum. [drumroll] [loud celebratory music i love teaching. It is such an exhilarating experience when people began to feel their own creativity. This really is a place where all people can come and take a class and fill part of the community. This is very enriching as an artist. A lot of folks take these classes and take their digital imagery and turn it into negatives. There are not many black and white darkrooms available anymore. That is a really big draw. This is a signature piece. This is the bill largest darkroom in the u. S. There are a lot of people that want to get into that dark room. I think it is the heart of this place. You feel it when you come in. The people who just started taking pictures, so this is really an intersection for many generations of photographers and this is a great place to learn because if you need people from different areas and also everyone who works here is working in photography. We get to build the community here. This is different. First of all, this is a great location. It is in a lesspopulated area. Of lot of people come here just so that they can participate in this program. It is a great opportunity for people who have a little bit of photographic experience. The people have a lot, they can really come together and share a love and a passion. We offer everything from traditional black and white darkrooms to learning how to process your first roll of film. We offer classes and workshops in digital camera, digital printing. We offer classes basically in the shooting, ton the town at night, treasure island. There is a wa for the programs exploring everyone who would like to spend the day on this program. Hello, my name is jennifer. My name is simone. We are going on a field trip to take pictures up the hill. Cmon, cmon, cmon. Actually, i have been here a lot. I have never looked closely enough to see evything. Now, i get to take pictures. We want to try to get them to be more creative with it. We let them to be free with them but at the same time, we give them a little bit of direction. You can focus in here. That was cool. If you see that . Behind the city, behind the houses, behind those hills. The see any more hills . These kids are wonderful. They get to explore, they get to see different things. We let them explore a little bit. They get their best. If their parents ever ask, we can learn they can say that they learned about the depth of field or the rule of thirds or that the shadows can give a good contrast. Some of the things they come up with are fantastic. That is what were trying to encourage. These kids can bring up the creativity and also the love for photography. A lot of people come into my classes and they dont feel like they really are creative and through the process of working and showing them and giving them some tips and ideas. This is kind of the best kept secret. You should come on and take a class. We have orientations on most saturdays. This is a really wonderful location and is the real jewel to the community. Ready to develop your photography skills . The Harvey Milk Photo Center focuses on adult classes. And saturday workshops expose youth and adults to photography classes. Good rning, everyone.

policy in the Police Department so i simultaneously right now chief suhr that providing information to the people there in the bayview on what happened i dont have all the circumstances by do know that involved an individual that was in a stolen vehicle but at the same time whether or not it required the use of deadly force is something we need to look at very, very specifically with the

Community Advocates that are concerned about the officerinvolved shooting hope you understand that it is a serious thing for the city i take it seriously we will have today or the next few days a

Well, you know again, i think well have to ask a lot of questions excluding that and are the officers following the protocol what were the circumstances that led up to it were trying to con stringent a circumstance in which an officer uses his or her gun that lethal force had not been at the center of attention for so many months i have internal listed if on ever shooting that happened and make sure that everybody is following the protocols in circumstances was that officers life challenged in any way were other peoples lives champed in any way those circumstances have to be looked at i need every single officer who carries a gun and authorized to use it only do that has a late result this and many other questions will be under review.

That concludes the neighborho promise announcements thank you, i want to thank our city administrator and her public works director for being here with the dpw street paving crew. Also, our Neighborhood Services as well. Derek, thank you for being here this morning. We are here to go to work. I know its a Political Year and everybodys talking about some big election that were going to have but, i think the real story is about the mostly the men today get where are the women . We have to deal with that get there we go. Where are your hardhats . Okay. Well, i was there is a men and women. Today is mostly men that are out here. At our neighborhood corridor and this is of coarse, one in many many neighborhoods across the city where we get a chance because our city is economically strong and thanks to our Capital Program that our city administrator is involved in. Thanks to their mind or from a public works that they want to be out here paving all of our streets. You know, one of the great people that in a city that is increasingly become very expensive for people is our own streets. If our streets can be paid everybody can use them whether you are a senior, whether you are a young person, whether a bicycle rider. When you take a ride share with you guide drive your own vehicle back and forth, everyone uses our streets. Thats a great equalizer and when we fix it up than every single neighborhood of the city benefits from this. This is sometimes what we were for to as shared prosperity of the city. In years past, when we did not have the resources in our Capital Program suffered, then our parks and our streets suffered first. I want to say that we just concluded next two years our Capital Program over four lap 411 million from our Capital Planning and he and our whole bunch of smart numbers people get in there and they crunch numbers and they say, hey, look, if we spend this amount than that apartment late dpw can say, you can get to that magic seven. Is every window with the magic 70 is this a pci index that engineers know about. I plot the others and the engineer department and they will tell you thats how street levels are graded in cities like San Francisco. Its what they call a pci index. For over 30 years, we got close to this number 70 and now its within eyesight. I think if we are disciplined in making sure that our capital money soues are spent in paving all of our streets were to get to this magic number 70, which is something weve not a published in over 30 years of investment. That every year its been the streets come do we want to do that or do we want to do trees. People voted for the trees did that was parks and people voted for parks. That was Health Institutions and people voted for the Health Institutions. So we never got a story out there about how streets are so important to us and how maintaining them is a Great Service to every single neighborhood in the syndicate were finally able to do that and this is important and its part of our 10 year capital plan, but were funding the next two years at 411 million. Thats a significant amount. I know that those that are involved in our Capital Planning have something to smile about because its not just streets good streets is one of the key examples. Thats why we are here today. We are going to do more of the streets for the benefit of all of our neighborhoods, all across the city. Over the next two years. But in addition to streets, infrastructure is about all the other aspects assets that we have. For example, they dpw horizon particularly for engineers is outrageous. Third street grades. Christmas creek bridge. They have to be maintained and put in a good state repair. Guess what . The largest population growth is happening in the southern part of our city and were needing to grant across those bridges a lot. Those are bridges that are constantly used for mission bay, for all of the development in the dogpatch and in the Hunters Point area. There also going to be of course, a ballpark and eventually [inaudible]. So, thats going to happen in the next couple of years. Those bridges will get repaired. In addition to that, there is something that we have not talked about in public a lot. Something a little more hidden in ourunderneath our streets, but something ive been dedicated to ding iscuss with theort about and thats the infrastructure called rc wall. That seawall is goes all the way from the Fishermans Wharf area all the way down to the ballpark and onto your 50. That seawall is absolutely critical for everything that is from the water to the peers to the embarcadero roadway. If we dont keep that seawall up in good shape, the water eventually, will you road all the infrastructure underneath, which includes our wastewater, unclean water, all of the utilities, will all be subject to incredible incredible cost is not danger, in of course, the majority of our ports assets we lie on the seawall. Its about time we started talking about it because the seawall is over 100 years old and we have not made any very significant investments in the seawall. Thats another part of our infrastructure. Theres another part of our infrtureastruchat we dont talk about until theres flooding in the city. That is places like telegraph hill. You know, that very steep hill where i kind of look up and i get nervous and all those condominiums up on top and how steep that hillside and every year, every two years or three years, when the heavy rains come, you see a little bit of a you rose and i called the City Engineerr all call these private companies that dpw has oncology whats going on. They say, well, the earth is moving. Its sliding. We got to reinforce those cliff areas around the telegraph hill. Otherwise, thousands of homes will be in jeopardy. This is all part of infrastructure, all part of Capital Planning. When we do Capital Planning at 10 year stretches, we want to take care of infrastructure like these and we do it in a very land way. We do it in the way it does not shop the general fund every two years, and when we do this planning everything, all of our assets get touched. They get treated. In one year itll be these kinds of things like our streets and our hillsides and are bridges,. Another yeart will be our parks. Another year it will be our cultural institutions that need to get a touch. You talk about parks. Again, thats an asset that everybody enjoys. Particularly, if youre a senior or families with children, more and more of our parks are being used with to keep them clean. Keep these assets not only clean but expanded, weupdaterefreshed, and this is how i think our city is so successful with our residents. So, i want to say today, thank you dw for being out here. Particularly, the mostly men and some women that are going to be picking this street the right way and its going to last 50 years, right . Not to come up here for another 50 years. So when we do this, we do it right. Yes. Weve got to tell everybody when we do the streets, that the tell all the utilities were coming in because i dont than breaking into the street saying you do not tell us about it we notify evre. We have the residence and of course the residence of the happiest. They get to come out and drive on some smooth streets. They dont have to tell me at least this block, will be donated stories about how their transmissions not ruined and had to buy new tires. But we need this kind of treatment to get to this pci index we been longing for, where the grading of our streets by the federal highway administration, who funds part of this, by the state, will say that lets keep this kind of highlevel streets smoothness in our capacity, and every neighborhood will benefit from it and all the neighborhoods will be better as a result. It begins with good planning. Weve got all the people that will execute all this. And the more you were out here in the neighborhoods of getting things done or fixing our streets, or fixing on herschel corridor, again, with public works leadership, were putting additional pit stops were people need them, they dont need them in this neighborhood, but in other neighborhoods, were goingo keep a Good Relationship with our neighbors and i hope that the neighbors will want us to finish this quickly and go on to the next streets. But, thank you to the men and women of pablos for your dedication,. Keep working hard to get this stuff done and then go on to the next week. Would you do all employee. By the way, the next two years of infrastructure work that i just talked about over 3400 jobs keeps everybody employed. That, again, we have such a low Unemployment Rate but i never want to ever forget that when i started people were screaming at me for more jobs. Now we get to employ more people. Does that feel better . With a lot of jobs . Yes. Our dignity to move forward with these really good jobs. I get, what effect our city administrator, public works director, art and Neighborhood Services and Capital Planning group for everything they do and thats keep on working and thats what our neighborhoods. Thank you. [applause] thank you mr. Made. Naomi kelly city administrator and have the honor to chair the 10 year capital plan. Its a 1. 6 6,000,000,000. 10 year plan that is transparent with a public process process. The plan that oversees our infrastructure over the next 10 years and helps us prioritize where to spend our money over the next 10 years and its creating more jobs. As the mayor mention. Our Unemployment Rate is down to about 3. 1 . Thank you, mr. Mayor are all the jobs youre creating in the city. One of the reasons that are Capital Planning process is so successful, started by the former former city administrator current mayor, ed lee 11 years ago and because of our longrange comprehensive planning where we are looking at projects, weve estimated how much the projects are going to be and when were going to complete it, then we make good on that promise. The voters and the residence of San Francisco have appreciated. We delivered on a sf general hospital. We delivered on time and on budget a Public Safety building. We are keeping our promises and we are delivering our promises to the voters and the residence of the city. Simply put, because of this good planning, arbitron ratings are high. They trust what we are doing in this 10 year longrange processor stopping flybynight ideas together. We are actually doing a lot of planning. So, i want to thank the department of public works in all the work they do. The clues behind us because as a resident in San Francisco in i enjoyed writing over smooth streets and i look forward to driving down the street very soon. Thank you. [applause] thank you all for coming out. I am probably the most excited one of all. Everybody out here today get me along with my cruise because of the commitment that the mayor and city administrator have made towards improving our city. You heard from the mayor stabilizing telegraph hill. Fixing our bridges. Fixing our playgrounds. Our firehouses. All the things people want to the Capital Planning process, those are prioritized and does receive funding in the next two years. To seeyou will see the big difference. I think since the last two years under the mayors leadership, we have a better working relationship with city partners. The Public Utilities commission, the mta. Together, were working really hard to deliver the projects that make a difference for the people of San Francisco. We have some projects in the works and now and those are the result of some of the Capital Planning also. My cell street is being done. Potrero right there thereby the n hospital thats being done right up to ocean avenue is being done and coming soon, we have a lot more. We have second street. Second street is going to ben entire new design with nice bike pathways among nice sidewalks where people can walk, and really achieving the type of streetscape that offers twice the sky city like San Francisco should have.

Project is transformation of the Convention Center and it is not only addition and increased space but also a transformation of the urban neighbor around it in a positive way. 25th largest Convention Center in the country but the conventions are getting bigger so with this extension it is 13 largest we have been under construction a year and a half and set to complete the construction in 2018. It generated over 9 billion in San Francisco 35 percent of viz 2rs coming to San Francisco are coming to maus coney. 2500 jobs will be created. If we didnt do the expansion we would luce 200 million in taxes a year. The conventions they are talking about going other cities with ample [inaudible] and exhibit space and not come to San Francisco. There is a lot of [inaudible] we are at a point now where our [inaudible] two halve oz the mos connie and think what we desire is one space. We are adding space about 200,000 space. We are connecting the two existing north and south exhibition halls that excavate under Howard Street to increase the largest exhibition space to 1 contig ws space over 500,000 square feet. The spot im standing in will be inside the lobby. The building will be pushed out to Howard Street and connected north and south above and under ground. When you go on the north our south side you enter into a hall that is divided into major ways this is Public Private partnership. The Hotel Industry [inaudible] splitting it up of the building. Since we have a north and south Howard Street it [inaudible] to make [inaudible] improving the bridges to make them more accessible so go over Howard Street [inaudible] developed to look at several different proposals for a light [inaudible] to work with that bridge and the selection of the [inaudible] he is on what i think is a beautiful piece that is very animated. You will be able to see it as [inaudible] cross the bridge and can see it as a resident of San Francisco looking up. There is a second bridge and this bridge replacing an existing bridge over Howard Street that links yerba buena gardens to a childrens playground. Make a much larger public space as well as aplaza space that brings you up to that in a visible way. We worked on the playground to make it safe and invited and added more open space the area will be connected with the neighborhood. [inaudible] much better space for everyone. Why is such a fundamental part [inaudible] could be thought of as columns and beams [inaudible] the areas that you walk to check in prior to [inaudible] all those activities [inaudible] opposed to [inaudible] we thought of ways to bring light into these occupied spaces including skylights and [inaudible] highest level of [inaudible] recycled steel. The concrete is [inaudible] we will be harvesting all the rain water and storm water and reusing it. In [inaudible] they extend down into the aquifer level of the water level which means water is being pumped out to remove the pressure and there are over 15 million gallons of water per year that maus coney center pumps out so the water is wasted. Our idea is disconnect the ground water system from the [inaudible] and reuse the water and save and preserve and use it for [inaudible] and use it for other irrigation uses. We have excess water to fill up [inaudible] there will be limited traffic impact during construction there is a 8 month period where we have to take a lane of traffic out from Howard Street so we can expand the tunnel. We anticipate the construction to be minimal. [inaudible] make the center statef the art and much more competitive. [inaudible] having the space. [inaudible] underneath howard. Having [inaudible] this is a [inaudible] worked with the residential, the merchants in the neighborhood, the non profits to make sure this is a vibrant area. Even if you dont come to the convention and enjoy the public space, it is something that helps revitalize the neighborhood and bring energy to the neighborhood and more people to the neighborhood and shops and retail and shocase San Francisco around the world.

Isnt he just wonderful . [applause] i saw the opera house and ballet in oslo how beautiful and now how beautiful this is good we are so honored that your cultural minister is with us today and counsel general. Let me just say this. The mayor talked about how important this is for the city and what an important date this is for the city and it is indeed, but the important day for our country as well. President kennedy said the life of the art are very close to the core purpose of our nation. This is true and even our founders recognized that way back when. John adams, just about four years after nation was established, you go to abigail and he said to her i must study war and politics so that our children can study agriculture and commerce, other subjects, so that their children have the liberty to study music and art and painting and porcelain and tapestry. He went on. But that was about our countrys commitment to make i think giving more opportunity to future generations. That is the core of america. But even at that time our founders john adams saw that more opportunity in the arts with central to our country. So, here we are on this day. This great day where San Francisco once again continues to affirm its leadership in arts and culture. Much as in the nation but the world. I love what i heard what chuck said, chairman schwab said in his remarks about the children, the mayor as well. The opening of this building in San Francisco sf moma has made a commitment to children so that they as john adams would have loved to hear, can have access and be exposed to the beautiful worldclass art. The incredible collection of doris and john fisher and her family being central to it. Those children will see freedom of expression and learn to appreciate it around them and inside of them. That freedom of expression is also manifested in our city by having so many artists. Greg, with so many artists in San Francisco in fact San Francisco is the city that gets more grants from the National Endowment for the arts than any city except new york but there 10 times bigger than we are. But that Free Expression in our city is just a continuation of the value that we placed, and i cant help but thinking of the poet shelley said the greatest force for moral good is imagination. Imagination. To see things in other ways. Here we are, this living temple of imagination. An inspiration for all of us to be creative in our lives, in our work, for our country, for our children. A champion of all of that creativity and inspiration is a great director, neilglad the privilege pleasure to bring him back up. [applause] congressman congresswomansorry, what beautiful an absolute inspiring words. Thank you so much that i like now to do is invite chuck and bob, mayor, craig, up to the podium. We dont cut with interior sf moma. We do things a little bit differently. Okay. Whats up with open this museum. [drumroll] [loud celebratory music hi everybody, we down here at the ep is a center which is our pop up space down here in San Francisco where we operate a store front to educate the policy from the home owner who has center which is our pop up space down here in San Francisco where we operate a store front to educate the policy from the home owner who has never done anything in the house to the most advanced structure engineers we have working around here. We were going to here from kelly to talk a little bit about San Francisco. How are you doing kelly . Very well, thank you for having us here. In front of us, we have a typical soft story building. When i see this, i think this is some of the most beautiful architecture our city has. A lot of people dont know these are problematic buildings. Why dont you tell us about some of the risks he we have in these buildings . Soft stories are vulnerable in past earthquakes and the northridge earthquake to this type of building and character of building. When we talk about the soft story, what were talking about is generally a ground story that has less wall or other pwraeugs to resist the lateral forces that might be imposed by the earthquake. So were looking for something that is particularly weak or soft in this ground story. Now, this is a wonderful example of what some of the residential buildings that are soft stories in San Francisco look like. And the 1 thing that i would point out here is that the upper force of this building have residential units. They have not only a fair amount of wall around the exterior of the building but they also have very extensive walls in the interior and bathrooms and bedrooms and corridors and everything that has a certificate amount of brazing yea its significantly less country srabl in those stories. Now very often, we get even a garage or storage or sometimes commercial occupancy in this ground story. That very often not only has a whole lot less perimeter wall but it often has little or no wall on the interior. That wall is the earthquake bracing and so he see very significant bracing in the top floor and very little on the bottom. When the earthquake comes and hits, it tries to push that ground floor over and theres very little that keeps it from moving and degrading and eventually paoerblly keeping it from a collapse occurring. So we know theyre vulnerable because of this ground story collapsing is this only a problem we see in sentence france . San francisco . No, this is certainly a national problem. More acute in western but more up to california, washington, moving out into other states. This kind of building exist and this kind of building is vulnerable. When youre involved with the community safety, this is a different way of thinking about these types of things. We had a Community Group of over 100 people involved and upper 1 of them. Tell us about how that conversation went. Why did we decide as a city or a community to start fixing these types of buildings . There were a lot of aspects that were considered well beyond just the engineering answer that these are vulnerable. And that effort brought in a lot of people from different aspects of the community that looked at the importance of these buildings to the Housing Stock and the possible ramifications of losing this houbgs in the case of an earthquake. The financial implications, the historic preserve vacation s implication as you mentioned, these are very handsome looking buildings that are importance to the tourist city ask which make San Francisco something that people are interested from outside in coming and visiting. Its such animation story when you think about the 10 years that the community spent talking about this seurb but we actually did something about it. Now we have an order unanimouses put in place to protect 100,000 residents in San Francisco and retrospective in 2020. So on behalf of residents and employees in San Francisco, we want to say thank you for the work youve done in pushing this forward and making people more aware of these issues. And it was a fantastic community effort. So in an earth quake, what happens in these kinds of buildings . What happens when an earthquake comes along is it moves the ground both horizontally and vertically. Its mostly the horizontal that were worried about. It starts moving the Building Back and forth and pushing on it. When you see im pushing on it, the upper stiff of the wall stay straight up but the lower floors, they actually collapse just like i did there. Luckily, we can put this building right back up where it came from so its a lot easier. Now kelly, obviously these arent real frame walls here but when you talk about buildings, what makes the property for stiff . The easiest and most costeffective type of bracing you can put in is either put in a brand new wall or to potentially go in and strengthen a wall thats already there where you dont need to have an opening is where you maybe have a garage door or access to commercial space, you might go to a steel frame or other types of bracing systems that provides the strength and stiff if necessary but at the same time, allows continued use of that area. But some combination of walls or frames or other tools that are in the tool kit that can bring the building up to the strength thats required in order to remove the vulnerability from the building so that when ground shaking comes, it in fact is a whole lot more resistant and less vulnerable. Ideally, this story down here would be made as strong and stiff as the floors above. If im a property owner, what is the first thing i should do . The first thing you should do is find professional that can come in and help you evaluate your building in order to, 1, figure out that indeed it does need to be retro fitted and 2, give you some idea of what that retro fit might look like. And third, evaluation and design to help you determine the retro fit requirement. Well kelly, i cant thank you enough for being here today. Thank you so much for your wealth of information on how we can take care of our soft story problem in San Francisco. And you the viewer, if you have any questions, please feel free to visit our website i want to thank our city administrator and her public works director for being here with the dpw street paving crew. Also, our Neighborhood Services as well. Derek, thank you for being here this morning. We are here to go to work. I know its a Political Year and everybodys talking about some big election that were going to have but, i think the real story is about the mostly the men today get where are the women . We have to deal with that get there we go. Where are your hardhats . Okay. Well, i was there is a men and women. Today is mostly men that are out here. At our neighborhood corridor and this is of coarse, one in many many neighborhoods across the city where we get a chance because our city is economically strong and thanks to our Capital Program that our city administrator is involved in. Thanks to their mind or from a public works that they want to be out here paving all of our streets. You know, one of the great people that in a city that is increasingly become very expensive for people is our own streets. If our streets can be paid everybody can use them whether you are a senior, whether you are a young person, whether a bicycle rider. When you take a ride share with you guide drive your own vehicle back and forth, everyone uses our streets. Thats a great equalizer and when we fix it up than every single neighborhood of the city benefits from this. This is sometimes what we were for to as shared prosperity of the city. In years past, when we did not have the resources in our Capital Program suffered, then our parks and our streets suffered first. I want to say that we just concluded next two years our Capital Program over four lap 411 million from our Capital Planning and he and our whole bunch of smart numbers people get in there and they crunch numbers and they say, hey, look, if we spend this amount than that apartment late dpw can say, you can get to that magic seven. Is every window with the magic 70 is . This a pci index that engineers know about. I plot the others and the engineer department and they will tell you thats how street levels are graded in cities like San Francisco. Its what they call a pci index. For over 30 years, we got close to this number 70 and now its within eyesight. I think if we are disciplined in making sure that our capital money sources are spent in paving all of our streets were to get to this magic number 70, which is something weve not a published in over 30 years of investment. That every year its been the streets come do we want to do that or do we want to do trees. People voted for the trees did that was parks and people voted for parks. That was Health Institutions and people voted for the Health Institutions. So we never got a story out there about how streets are so important to us and how maintaining them is a Great Service to every single neighborhood in the syndicate were finally able to do that and this is important and its part of our 10 year capital plan, but were funding the next two years at 411 million. Thats a significant amount. I know that those that are involved in our Capital Planning have something to smile about because its not just streets good streets is one of the key examples. Thats why we are here today. We are going to do more of the streets for the benefit of all of our neighborhoods, all across the city. Over the next two years. But in addition to streets, infrastructure is about all the other aspects assets that we have. For example, they dpw horizon particularly for engineers is outrageous. Third street grades. Christmas creek bridge. They have to be maintained and put in a good state repair. Guess what . The largest population growth is happening in the southern part of our city and were needing to grant across those bridges a lot. Those are bridges that are constantly used for mission bay, for all of the development in the dogpatch and in the Hunters Point area. There also going to be of course, a ballpark and eventually [inaudible]. So, thats going to happen in the next couple of years. Those bridges will get repaired. In addition to that, there is something that we have not talked about in public a lot. Something a little more hidden in ourunderneath our streets, but something ive been dedicated to discussing with the port about and thats the infrastructure called rc wall. That seawall is goes all the way from the Fishermans Wharf area all the way down to the ballpark and onto your 50. That seawall is absolutely critical for everything that is from the water to the peers to the embarcadero roadway. If we dont keep that seawall up in good shape, the water eventually, will you road all the infrastructure underneath, which includes our wastewater, unclean water, all of the utilities, will all be subject to incredible incredible cost is not danger, in of course, the majority of our ports assets we lie on the seawall. Its about time we started talking about it because the seawall is over 100 years old and we have not made any very significant investments in the seawall. Thats another part of our infrastructure. Theres another part of our infrastructure that we dont talk about until theres flooding in the city. That is places like telegraph hill. You know, that very steep hill where i kind of look up and i get nervous and all those condominiums up on top and how steep that hillside and every year, every two years or three years, when the heavy rains come, you see a little bit of a you rose and i called the City Engineer or all call these private companies that dpw has oncology whats going on. They say, well, the earth is moving. Its sliding. We got to reinforce those cliff areas around the telegraph hill. Otherwise, thousands of homes will be in jeopardy. This is all part of infrastructure, all part of Capital Planning. When we do Capital Planning at 10 year stretches, we want to take care of infrastructure like these and we do it in a very land way. We do it in the way it does not shop the general fund every two years, and when we do this planning everything, all of our assets get touched. They get treated. In one year itll be these kinds of things like our streets and our hillsides and are bridges,. Another year it will be our parks. Another year it will be our cultural institutions that need to get a touch. You talk about parks. Again, thats an asset that everybody enjoys. Particularly, if youre a senior or families with children, more and more of our parks are being used with to keep them clean. Keep these assets not only clean but expanded, weupdated refreshed, and this is how i think our city is so successful with our residents. So, i want to say today, thank you dw for being out here. Particularly, the mostly men and some women that are going to be picking this street the right way and its going to last 50 years, right . Not to come up here for another 50 years. So when we do this, we do it right. Yes. Weve got to tell everybody when we do the streets, that the tell all the utilities were coming in because i dont than breaking into the street saying you do not tell us about it we notify everywhere. We have the residence and of course the residence of the happiest. They get to come out and drive on some smooth streets. They dont have to tell me at least this block, will be donated stories about how their transmissions not ruined and had to buy new tires. But we need this kind of treatment to get to this pci index we been longing for, where the grading of our streets by the federal highway administration, who funds part of this, by the state, will say that lets keep this kind of highlevel streets smoothness in our capacity, and every neighborhood will benefit from it and all the neighborhoods will be better as a result. It begins with good planning. Weve got all the people that will execute all this. And the more you were out here in the neighborhoods of getting things done or fixing our streets, or fixing on herschel corridor, again, with public works leadership, were putting additional pit stops were people need them, they dont need them in this neighborhood, but in other neighborhoods, were going to keep a Good Relationship with our neighbors and i hope that the neighbors will want us to finish this quickly and go on to the next streets. But, thank you to the men and women of pablos for your dedication,. Keep working hard to get this stuff done and then go on to the next week. Would you do all employee. By the way, the next two years of infrastructure work that i just talked about over 3400 jobs keeps everybody employed. That, again, we have such a low Unemployment Rate but i never want to ever forget that when i started people were screaming at me for more jobs. Now we get to employ more people. Does that feel better . With a lot of jobs . Yes. Our dignity to move forward with these really good jobs. I get, what effect our city administrator, public works director, art and Neighborhood Services and Capital Planning group for everything they do and thats keep on working and thats what our neighborhoods. Thank you. [applause] thank you mr. Made. Naomi kelly city administrator and have the honor to chair the 10 year capital plan. Its a 1. 6 6,000,000,000. 10 year plan that is transparent with a public process process. The plan that oversees our infrastructure over the next 10 years and helps us prioritize where to spend our money over the next 10 years and its creating more jobs. As the mayor mention. Our Unemployment Rate is down to about 3. 1 . Thank you, mr. Mayor are all the jobs youre creating in the city. One of the reasons that are Capital Planning process is so successful, started by the former former city administrator current mayor, ed lee 11 years ago and because of our longrange comprehensive planning where we are looking at projects, weve estimated how much the projects are going to be and when were going to complete it, then we make good on that promise. The voters and the residence of San Francisco have appreciated. We delivered on a sf general hospital. We delivered on time and on budget a Public Safety building. We are keeping our promises and we are delivering our promises to the voters and the residence of the city. Simply put, because of this good planning, arbitron ratings are high. They trust what we are doing in this 10 year longrange processor stopping flybynight ideas together. We are actually doing a lot of planning. So, i want to thank the department of public works in all the work they do. The clues behind us because as a resident in San Francisco in i enjoyed writing over smooth streets and i look forward to driving down the street very soon. Thank you. [applause] thank you all for coming out. I am probably the most excited one of all. Everybody out here today get me along with my cruise because of the commitment that the mayor and city administrator have made towards improving our city. You heard from the mayor stabilizing telegraph hill. Fixing our bridges. Fixing our playgrounds. Our firehouses. All the things people want to the Capital Planning process, those are prioritized and does receive funding in the next two years. To seeyou will see the big difference. I think since the last two years under the mayors leadership, we have a better working relationship with city partners. The Public Utilities commission, the mta. Together, were working really hard to deliver the projects that make a difference for the people of San Francisco. We have some projects in the works and now and those are the result of some of the Capital Planning also. My cell street is being done. Potrero right there thereby the new hospital thats being done right up to ocean avenue is being done and coming soon, we have a lot more. We have second street. Second street is going to be an entire new design with nice bike pathways among nice sidewalks where people can walk, and really achieving the type of streetscape that offers twice the sky city like San Francisco should have. Today, were paving the street that was last week caved in 1989. The payment was given score was 1500 at the end of today this pavement score will be 100. 100. Thats what were doing. Were going all around the city and paving streets. This year, our goal was to pave 600 bucks and were already at 639. Weve exceeded the number of blocks that were plan. So im very very [applause] from public works, were very very appreciative for giving us all this work. I think that that city people San Francisco are appreciative, and lets go and do some painting and finish this block mayor. Thank you. Thank you very much and we have the hardhats .

His commitment to excellence in everything he does good we all blessed by your leadership, [applause] to the fisher family, what a remarkable thing. Doris, its all beautiful. Its a beautiful good i agree with bob, john wouldve had some other little thing going. But you to all the fisher family, thank you so much. To neilare we blessed to have him . Isnt he just wonderful . [applause] i saw the opera house and ballet in oslo how beautiful and now how beautiful this is good we are so honored that your cultural minister is with us today and counsel general. Let me just say this. The mayor talked about how important this is for the city and what an important date this is for the city and it is indeed, but the important day for our country as well. President kennedy said the life of the art are very close to the core purpose of our nation. This is true and even our founders recognized that way back when. John adams, just about four years after nation was established, you go to abigail and he said to her i must study war and politics so that our children can study agriculture and commerce, other subjects, so that their children have the liberty to study music and art and painting and porcelain and tapestry. He went on. But that was about our countrys commitment to make i think giving more opportunity to future generations. That is the core of america. But even at that time our founders john adams saw that more opportunity in the arts with central to our country. So, here we are on this day. This great day where San Francisco once again continues to affirm its leadership in arts and culture. Much as in the nation but the world. I love what i heard what chuck said, chairman schwab said in his remarks about the children, the mayor as well. The opening of this building in San Francisco sf moma has made a commitment to children so that they as john adams would have loved to hear, can have access and be exposed to the beautiful worldclass art. The incredible collection of doris and john fisher and her family being central to it. Those children will see freedom of expression and learn to appreciate it around them and inside of them. That freedom of expression is also manifested in our city by having so many artists. Greg, with so many artists in San Francisco in fact San Francisco is the city that gets more grants from the National Endowment for the arts than any city except new york but there 10 times bigger than we are. But that Free Expression in our city is just a continuation of the value that we placed, and i cant help but thinking of the poet shelley said the greatest force for moral good is imagination. Imagination. To see things in other ways. Here we are, this living temple of imagination. An inspiration for all of us to be creative in our lives, in our work, for our country, for our children. A champion of all of that creativity and inspiration is a great director, neilglad the privilege pleasure to bring him back up. [applause] congressman congresswomansorry, what beautiful an absolute inspiring words. Thank you so much that i like now to do is invite chuck and bob, mayor, craig, up to the podium.
