So the project is located again on potrero hill. On the overview, the location of the site, as you see potrero sf project includes completely reconfiguring the site it streets and blocks to Better Connect with the rest of the neighborhood. We are looking at heights between 65 feet and 40 feet. This particular site located at the southernmost portion currently it is zoned 40 feet at the overall ambition for potrero would have that 50 feet. These particular two parcels are currently zoned im a one of them is owned key. Its owned by the School District. The other one our ourtwo.

Thank you for your advocacy. Any other members of the public that would like to speak on this important item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. [gavel] the matter is in the hands of the board. Colleagues, is there a motion supervisor weiner imovie 40 with positive recognition without objection the motion passes unanimously. [gavel] item 3 item 3, [reading code]. Supervisor weiner i believe you a few opening remarks on this . Yes, thank you very much mdm. Chairman. Today before us is legislation vaguely surprising its not already in the code specifically to provide that San Francisco residents receive preference over nonresidents when it comes to the lottery for Affordable Housing. Because as we all know, in a significant affordability crisis and we need as much of warehousing as we can create and we are investing more and more, both republic dollars as well as through our Inclusionary Program to expand our supply of Affordable Housing. We also know that when the unit, on to People Housing lottery process, that there are always dramatically more applicants than there are actual below market rate units and it is critically important that our own residents are able to access these affordable units and right now, there is no law on the books that creates a preference for San Francisco residence over nonresident. Although the Mayors Office of housing is able to do this administratively, they dont have to. Its not required. It is past time for us to put this preference into the code so the first three preferences are today and will continue to be number one, residential certificate of preference holders. Number two, displaced tenants. Number three, neighborhood preference for the legislation but supervisors cohen breed offered and i cosponsored and next, will be a lift work. People who live in the city were to work here. So, colleagues, ask for your support and the Mayors Office of communityMayors Office of housing and Community Development is here to answer any questions. Thank you. I dont have any questions. Do you want to make a short presentation . Good afternoon chairman cohen and supervise. Sophie hayward from the authors Mayors Office of housing. Im here to speak and sport the support of this legislation. We are looking forward to the clarification that all of our units within our portfolio with privately funded inclusionary units and probably funded Affordable Housing units will be available. With preference to the lottery two residents who live or work in San Francisco. Most oversee the documents both the inclusionary Housing Project are privately funded and publicly funded housing. For quite some time, we have had a firm policy identifying the socalled live work preference for inclusionary housing portfolio. This is reported of the program will in that 2007 inclusionary housing manual is been there ever since. Review also enforce this is a policy are publicly funded units, but supervisor weiner is absolutely correct. This is been not codified. So though its our policy its not really codified and i think he will clarify confusion in the future Going Forward that after the certificate of preference older, after the displaced Tenants Preference and after the neighborhood preference, available units will go first and foremost to those who live or work in the city and the remaining units after that can go to any applicant. That concludes my presentation. Im available for questions. Thank you thank you. I think we should go to Public Comment. I think we should. Anyone want to comment on item 3 . No Public Comment. Public comment is closed. [gavel] Deputy Director john john gibner director john gibner. This ordinance as before you includes a lot of text that looks like its proposed new language for the code but its actually language adopted by the board when that original version of this ordinance past. So, in the next week, my office will be providing the clerk with a new cleaned up version thats probably only can be about two pages long that just includes this preference but we would ask that the committee today voted to amend the title because the title of the what links that will here at the board next week will actually just be, just refer to the preference. I dont have a language economy but if you could make a amendment to reflect the title will be changed. Would you like to make that i will make a motion but and by way of context, this legislation came to be not through the usual introduction but when the neighborhood preference is moving to the board i asked if ill be duplicated and sent to the Planning Commission. So thats what we have to do that clean up now. I will make a motion thank you. Supervise peskin while i have no problem with the addition of this fourth preference, theres some larger policy issues that i think will come up over time that relate to which districts are vantage and disadvantaged by preference legislation. Its really a function in some districts like district 3, of constraints relative to site availability for the development of new Affordable Housing. Obviously, the champion housing on broadway and sampson and broadway and battery in a broad late in the embarcadero, but district 3 is much less opportunities just because its geographic constraints. Its something that i think is an evolving policy conversations will put that on the record but i have no problem with this amendment thank you. But to do a lets take a motion to accept the amendment and without objection that amendment passes unanimously. [gavel] thank you. I move we for the item as amended to the full board with positive recommendation without objection that passes unanimously [gavel] exum. Mdm. Clerk lease call item 4 item 4 and five together item 4, [reading code] item 5, [reading code]. Good afternoon jim cohen the action before you is a planning code ordinance but into the project at 76 market st. Initiate by supervisor john. The plan is not codified and will ill [inaudible] specifically the property at 101 hide which we dedicated the city into, exempt 21,004 and 22 ft. 2 from floor area calculation to purchase transfer Development Rights for this area. On june 16, 2016 the Planning Commissioners voted to recommend approval of the uncodified amendment after supervisor kim. This concludes my presentation and available for questions. Thank you. Pretty simple. Okay. But go to Public Comment. Good afternoon supervise that makes eight withproperties the project sponsor. Please to be heard today in lockstep withwe have a consensus driven solution to dedicate the high Street Property to the city for the creation of nearly triple the number of Affordable Housing units but we wouldve had onsite at 1066 market.

We filed the appeal not so much our own behalf as on behalf of the Community Response to what we are hearing from people, that inclusionary units would not be affordable to them. Likewise, we are hearing there really be used with this solution just seems like an alignment of the stars where 101 hide st.

My name is mike and or from the Marriott Academy. Earlier today the Marriott Academy cemented a letter of support for the 1066 and 101 hide project. We are really really trees with the outcome of this effort, this communitybased driven effort. A couple of months ago when this project came up at the Planning Commission meeting i testified at Public Comment that [inaudible] spent two years in building relationships in the tenderloin and i think that effort really paid off when it came time tofor all this to come to the table to try to negotiate a deal that really benefited the residence of the tenderloin, and all of the tunnel. I just want to point out that i think the impact of this particular project, both on the unit block of golden gate and on the corner of golden gate at hide, the beginning of the 300 block, is going to have a significanttheres like two bookends. A Significant Impact on the improvement of the tenderloin for all residents and im very excited that the dedication, the land dedication at 101 hide is going to be significant amount of better affordability for more residents of the tenderloin.

In 201043 percent of san franciscans San Franciscos cash footprint came if transportation related emissions our country must move people out of cars and go mass transit and bikes and pedestrian trips in San Francisco were investing everyday in bike share and Pedestrian Network and our Public Transportation system and im pleased to report that San Francisco reached the 50 percent at the end of counsel table just a few months ago years ahead of our schedule our challenge is now to main and grow that number finally 100 Percent Renewable Energy just over half of our Green House Gas emissions come from energy use in our citys commercial and residential buildings the birth cash source we have first, we need to use less energy to power and heat our buildings and second we need to change the Energy Supply and source for Renewable Power how were we accomplishing this were leading by example we launched the city solar incentive that helped to install over 3 thousand three hundred solar installations and created green jobs along the way this program focus on empowering low income and the members to benefit for the citys growing economy has been especially successful we recently launched Renewable Energy program that offers San Francisco residents and businesses an electricity option cleaner then their existing energy and just as affordable San Francisco is not the only city taking action too there are over 2000 actions teacher to reduce the Building Energy demand by over 46 cities and countries who ministers are representatives here today for example, to achieve the goals by 2020 the city of vancouver is on the neighborhood e neighborhood Scale Development a neighborhood strategy focusing on hi density areas of that city to improve heating and cooling services for those buildings the city of cop hasten has the goal of the first cash neutral capital in the world by the year 2024 and begun transforming the district heating from cool and natural gas to sustainable bio mass 98 percent of cop happiness buildings are connected to the system when is one of the older of its kind the city of seoul in the represent of korea launched the project to reduce energy demands they offers low cost loans that cover 100 percent by increasing the krofrj from to 100 percent they saw an increase in loan if 4 million in 2012 to 20 million in 2014 and finally i would be remiss if i didnt recognition our own Nations Capital in about washington, d. C. They entered into a 20year power purpose agreement that supplies roughly thirty percent of d. C. Electricity for wind power the largest wind power of its kind and entered in by the American City and protected to save transpires that 45 million from over the next 20 years well, all of those examples illustrate judge industries are a crystal partner to advance Clean Energy Solutions cities and states should be the focal point and leverage for the clean ministers to advance goals and have actions thanks to the advance and the sciences and technology from the private sector partners the intersection between the decashtion of energy and the economies is closer but advancement still requires investment and thats why i want to thank our u. S. Secretary monohe is and the department of energy for in their continued leadership of providing grants to the City Attorneys OfficeSan Francisco to scale up new Clean Energy Technology in closing sniff you may know the charter of the United Nations was actually signed into creation right here in San Francisco in 1945 and a gathering of 50 nations that excluded over 8 hundred delegates rep 80 percent of the are worlds population imagined was put to paper and action to make the world a more Peaceful Place for all citizens i believe that 9 climate agreement forgot in parking garage the work today is just as historic it will be recognized as a time when our Global Community united to create and healthier future for the planet and transforming our economies sustained so i commend our effort to tackles this challenge and honored to host you here in San Francisco thank you very much clapping. thank you, ed lee.

How much is at stake thanks to the agreement struck in paris to pg e power plan and the mo u weve taken steps to heed the warning of a century and a half ago i believe we can be successful over the next decades to create the solutions to stave off a Global Climate discharge in the government setting the right policies and individuals stepping up to do the right thing but even if im relevant that wont change at fact warm is unavoidable well have to contend with those the melting of the parlor ill say sheet in for your or San Francisco bay area more than 200 square miles are vulnerable to the Sea Level Rise with the more powerful id like to surges a storm lasting a few days can cost economics damages thats why at pg e our focus on sustainability so the need to adopt to the climatic change to make your systems for resilient were developing robust procedures and conducting a comprehensive assessment to vault storms and Sea Level Rise as we see heat waves pg e is among the utility that joined the partnering for climatic resilience to share best practices weve also commented 200 and 50,000 in stakeholders fund to protect and restore wetlands around San Francisco bay area and provide to join with other corporate members of the abusing council and voluntarily supporting that with Public Officials andville organizations were now and then a new program to granted money to publicprivate partnerships to share the instantaneously for Climate Resilience and specifically one Million Dollars to support local planning throughout our service area to help Community Better understand plan four and respond to Climate Change risks some stisz have sophisticated plans underway others are getting starred or face problems those grants we can learn from and with a focus on disadvantaged areas where the resources are lacking we see this as ass our commitment in support of communities we serve now for me that mission has then e taken on a personal resilience in the last 6 months i made two trips the first with governing california designation to the United NationsClimate Change and part of geography to ann art can i cack with a faith in our ability to work collectively to solve this problem and i cack from ann articulate how crucial we fulfill that promise sooner than later a Prominent Research has seen temperatures rise 12 degrees in his years of working and paris made clear the world is looking to california for some of those answers and gave me the privilege to tell our story that about that success while much remains to be done a Clean Energy Future is moving faster they than we thought possible we made progress at pentagon this year we expect to deliver 33 percent from qualified renewables and when you include our large ohio plant under california laws dont fit the definition more than 45 percent is cash free light years ahead of most other places within the next 15 years well be approaching 70 percent as we meet the target of 50 Percent Renewables and one key to the progress is bold target by the policymakers and the wisdom of utilities as partners a critical part of this is reaching barriers probation officer notify solutions the utilities have the unique ability to achieve and accelerate the use of low cash technologies and do so on the quick scale and demonstrated we can move Renewable Energy and drive down costs and keeping the grid reliable and customer bills down we can continue to do that if we Work Together with the right steps i think that 3 keys are crucial the first is continued investment in the grid the grid is the backbone of the economy and makes more than life possible the smallest grid it the backbone of a Clean Energy Economy with more distributed intelligence online privately owned solar and electrical vehicles and the like the grid is more acceptable we see the grid that services what the internet dont say platform a network that pulls the energy and integrate them to have more value for everyone the second key to the future adopting our empower right now the Market Forces are evolving faster the Regulatory Framework that largely is stuck in the year of thank god that stalls our progress for example, in the u. S. An ongoing debate in meter that is an attempt to put bandaids on a antiquated process we need to make a changes and indeed examples Regulatory Environment slows down not just limited to the energy spear for those of you who flew into San Francisco you might have noticed the span on the bay bridge the original part of that bridge is the part that is Still Standing and at the time that was built had the longtime suspected radios radio that is ahead of the grand jury designed is pencils and slide rules and built with more pleasantly labor than modern projects and took over 3 years to build the new span that is half as along with the Engineering Software and technologies and the crucial pieces are being reworked as we talk about the need for the infrastructure ill life you to decide where this fraction can meet the climatic change and the third key comes from the spirit and letter of Paris Agreement to keep the focus on recuse carbon rather than one particular mix of resources by doing that it gives the utilities and entrepreneurs the freedom to find the options and maximize innovation and provide consumers progress we know the issue of climatic change is no fixed address many of you come from far aways places with our history id like to offer a few points i hope you can take back to our home first, as a tackle the numerous challenges of clean energy and solving the low cash look to the utility sector as a solution this is an industry that is used to doing big things an industry that was designed to serve the Public Interest part off dna were good partners and the second as you look at those problems that need solving remember that we are more Energy Providers we can help with the resilience and clean transportation and we can help with Public Awareness and education utilities reach into every home additional business in your country we have relationship with millions in for the billions of customers and third look at the utilities in our areas as partners just as individual countrys cant eliminate cash neither can we our industry is hunger for partnerships you can help to facilitate and nurture well continue to make progress offender climatic change we have to take advantage the utilities and all of us to Work Together to accomplish things in a big way but to unleaf this well need the right policies the road to paris leads through this room and through all of you the decisions you make in the next few years shape the world for decades and essential to the ability of our countrys to deliver on the promises it is your engagement in overseeing issues that assure that future is right and the stories like the california meg flood remain in the history books where they belong thank you very much. clapping. thank you, very much. Tony, say with great confidence not a Business Leader utility leader or company that has shown greater commitment to clean energy and pg e we appreciate our leadership so, now we will have a Highlevel Panel decision a sustainable urban systems so let me ask the panelists first welcome the executive director of International Energy agency, mr. Lien norris leader of petroleum and john first deputy mayor of china, and Raphael Gonzales the ceo of the north america inc. Thank you for being you are here today enjoy the discussion. So ladies and gentlemen, i wish you, please enjoy the american lunch here while were going to do discuss a few important issues before going to the panel which is a very expressive panel as you can see i want to make a few remarks two racks one about the year 2015 and the second is a major report we are going to release in half an hour 2015 much has been perhaps the most incredible years in terms of the fight against climatic change not only because of paris ill talk about paris in a moment two other reasons why i believe 2015 could be a wonderful year for the fight against climatic change one 2015 ladies and gentlemen, zero two emissions did not increase like 2014 two years in a row we have seen zero emissions didnt increase even though global g dp increased more than 3 percent this has not been the case in the history we have seen only 3 times in the history when it didnt increase and all the 3 years is the financial crisis other than that for the first time two years in a right now 14 and 15 emissions remain the same good news now the year 2015 more than 90 percent of historical capacity the energy were renewable empowers and solar followed by other not the case 90 percent is impressive driven by china, u. S. , europe and india and all other countries this is the second excellent news for 2015 and third was, of course, the power agreement i see the years in paris and he can assure you that paris the beautiful paris became much more beautiful after december 2015 i can assure i have many french theyll definitely agree with me and in paris in addition to the historical agreement there are two other important elements that needs to be underlined number one our agreements were agreement attempts it was not only a top down target but a button up all the countries brought their targets their policies how their issues extremely important and second paris also brought new actresses into the picture in addition to governments we have now the businesses and act dam and others part of game and other actor is local governments the cities therefore the paris is not only the amendment of all the countries of the world by the moeshltd were extremely important and in my view down to earth now great paris this to our panel we are going to do present or publish a major report in a hour of time two things i want to tell you about this this report focuses on a the progress in technologies we have a tasht in paris below two degrees and it is important to see how we are doing in Different Green Energy technologies im not going to details youll not lose your appetite were not doing well there is some move a process but there are any areas we say are significantly lagging in our report highlights where we are progressing better than expectations with a target established in paris the second area the report focuses on the cities as already mentions about the 70 percent of the emissions come from the city 85 percent so if you want to solve this problem we have to solve the problem in the cities and the cities in our report theyre two areas extremely important one the building be sector from the installation of the building to the for example, the cooling requirements which or go to psychopath in the next years to come and what kind of cooling units were going to use the standard is extremely important for fighting against climatic change the other area we look at the transportation we look into how we can see even a bigger move in terms of the electrical vehicles which one million cars another good news but much for electrical cars and what are the favorable conditions but also the underlined the Public Transportation how to subsidize Public Transportation and the rest of the moves in the city we see in the beautiful city of San Francisco but ladies and gentlemen, the main issue is the emerging countries cities which number of buildings built in the city and the buildings is 75 hundred years of time we should look into the future in the buildings which are not efficient so those are the issues that we deal with in our report maine the buildings and the transportation issue so we have now an clean out panel here one minister from the government and the mayor from the e merging country and the company which is dealing with energies i will move to the panel and perhaps start to ask the gentleman the minister of norway mr. Minister your country is the highest share of electrical cars in the world into the total car fleet in our country how do you see is measures put forward and what is it in the future so far as 20 percent if not share of cars in norway are electrical cars which compress the gloeshld average of unfortunately zero want one percent so how do you do that. Mr. Minister. Thank you, dr. For your kind words and a moment to look at in a moment in time negative impact 2012 the paramount decided the goal to have 50 thousand electrical vehicles and that goal was already xhoetsd last year and today 70 thousand fewer electrical vehicles and hybrids if we have hybrids bylaw but basically most of benefits were put in place already in 2002 and 3 and the car didnt take off until 2000 but not before 2011 and so what are the reasons i think the obvious reasons for things to happen in 2011 was the fact that there were cars on markets that were really cars that could meet the needs of families in a safe manner you have the problem were starting to address in a proper way to say a greater range in norway we have a power system like 8 percent renewable sources nobody in norway were able to say okay. Your changing our diesel car with pure renewables, of course, the tax and obviously of great importance a high new car sales tax for cars and however no new car sales tax for electrical vehicles of course, the same goes for petro and hardly any tax think Renewable Energy on the policy on the basis there is free parking in cities free ferry rides, access to bus lanes and from the government does we have good strong efforts into building capacity we targeted isnt urban where most people live establishing with the transportation for everybody and now were actually connecting the major cities in norway and this has led to this norway with 4 Million People the second and the Third Largest market bean by the u. S. And china which has more people than norway as you can imagine and a fiscal benefit the in fact, that is when it comes to fueling meets the connection from petro fueled cars which will forever have high taxation and a competition in the decades ahead but if i might add one thing before i leave the word back to you why do a tremors effort in reducing local pollutions reducing and co2 emissions they come up Justice Department just as much space on the roads to have the basic strategy for ongoing electrical vehicles instead of building Public Transportation system could be a wrong solution. Thank you very much mr. Minister for highlighting the Critical Role of public transport even though the cars are moving fast in terms of populating the global fleet and mr. Minister said if you have to have electrical cars certain share of your car fleet we need policies and also some regulatory measures and very important as i mentioned mr. Minister that in order to have an amount of benefits electricity fitting the car must be also clean otherwise the benefits may not be so obvious so i just mentioned that the statistics are important for climatic change but the E Engineering countries are important so were very lucky the first deputy mayor of in china under jack and you mr. Mayor have an excellent experience in our city of the pushing this smart upper Public Transportation and Sustainable Energy can you tell us how you realized what steps you took and whether or not the story you have in your city can be a model for other cities in china. Thank you sorry dont speak good english so i need a translator. speaking foreign language. i want to thank the california the governor of office for inviting us to attend this meeting the president of the china has made a commitment via the unclimatic change in paris the reduction of cash emissions in china and now the whole country is taking action im very glad our city is very glad to endorse the mou and now under the leadership of the Central Government we are connecting with california we find the plan of actions with california and now we are promoting our policies closely. speaking foreign language. this is a city in east of china been shanghai the american female writers who is also the the nobel prize in litter she grew up in china for 18 years and described as her hometown in china. speaking foreign language. this morning i heard the speech by the government of california gosh and i agree with him very much we need to transfer our commitment to actions. speaking foreign language. so our apart from the separate transportation we have conducted many efforts for the reduction of cash emission in the city and our efforts can be concluded from 5 perspectives. speaking foreign language. first, we set up the goal of achieving cash peak. speaking foreign language. at cop 21 pointed out that cashier emissions will peak in around 2030. speaking foreign language. based on a scientific analysis and calculations it is one of the earlier city to achieving 10 years earlier than the National Goal and average. speaking foreign language. preceding in the Current Situation were confident it we have the ability to realize the goal. speaking foreign language. second we need the best tools for the contractions how much the cashier emissions like Drinking Water we have to take sip one by one to know how much water we can drink. speaking foreign language. by using clot commuting i owe the technologies we segregate land use, environment and sources and industries and safety reduction and cashier emissions by doing so we can hanger and reexamine and check the cash emissions reduction in the city. speaking foreign language. now we conducted realtime online monitoring over 48 key emissions companies in the city the total emissions is 80 percent of the cities total. speaking foreign language. during the past 5 years over three hundred chemical plans were shut down. speaking foreign language. nearly 11 towns of cashier emissions is reduced. speaking foreign language. third, i think about apart from the activities of the business sector one important actress in the reduction of cash emission is peoples livelihood. speaking foreign language. so the motorer mentioned buildings and transportation are very important factors in the reduction of cashier emissions. speaking foreign language. so weve taken 9 major actions to reduce the cash emissions in the city. speaking foreign language. is action include optimizing the industry and encouraging the low cashier industries for production developing cash buildings and low cash incurs and low cash transportation for low Cash Development. speaking foreign language. so, now the low Cash Development and the awareness have come to has been raised amongst the people. speaking foreign language. fourth we highlight the highlight of our efforts zero cash demonstration projects in the city. speaking foreign language. we select city and two islands in our city as pilots. speaking foreign language. last i think that the most for the International Cooperation like the meetings during the two days a very Good Opportunity to learn from other countries and regions. speaking foreign language. in october of this year we were Holding International infection of low cashiers and products the interact welcomes companies and expert from all over the world to join us id like to extend our opportunity and hope you have a look in the country city and our low development. Thank you, mr. Mayor for this excellent presentation of achievements of our city is it so interesting what you said your citys image as 2020 before the aggregate promise emissions this is one of the in my view most important outcomes coming from paris the architect of Paris Agreement and she was agreeing with me the peak in 2020 both the underlying agreement is critical to reach our goal now the other thick that is critical to reach you are goals within the energies in greece in the urban systems and the entering green power is one were fortunate to have other green power with gonzales is with us and can you tell us about our sclernz how do you merge the smart renewable and just the generation of models. Okay. Good afternoon and thank you for inviting me to participate first, let me explain the activity of urban power that is part of a viability and it is investing in renewables and investing in conventional duration that works and we we have activities in other places as well lets start to explain the our vision and strategy for how we are implementing these in the notifies in the renewables so our region is open power to solve the main challenges of the world open power needs to supply energy to the people they dont have energy supplied. Open power means a tool to be open to innovation and new technologies and to use this system technologies as well as on a different way in a way we have here in nevada an assembled combination of technology, solar tv and solar concentrated open power needs to find and open ways to manage the energy on a different way as well in relation to the demand and generation and to be open as well to paris so we cant build this by ourselves we need to have paris in this sense so how we approach what is the Business Model smart cities were taken so our vision we are open to the scope and to the local initiatives so it is different for example, in mellone we have builds for the first time in the world the first smart city refell fill a city designed for one hundred thousand people supply Renewable Energy solar and we see the light systems as well as market the light systems and Smart Mobility and smart challenges and the system is implement to manage all this on the right way this is an assembly all assembles are depends on the local scope and the local needs we have all this examples in mellone another smart city by started almost 7 years ago so a combination of generation of solar as well and integrate these in a smart way and incorporate these on a different way and obtaining at the same time efficiency in the management of the grid the salesforce are important and in this instance sustainable were doing the specific initiatives with sharing cars for example, and bus car in chillingly and electrical taxis in above the blue and windy sea to were contributing utility on those different specific requirements and it is important sense the corporation with the place the local authority and government is very supportive on this sense we cant do this type of initiatives without the support and the engagement of the local activities the most the locals say the local communities and consumers and so much it is necessary to solve with them this project so make it as sustainable and reliable and affordable thank you very much so ladies and gentlemen, were at the end of this two things if i may undermine we understood the cities are extremely critical if we were to address our climate challenge number one and number 2 local governments we need to be bring a critical roll in terms of which measures then and how when it comes to buildings and when it comes to the transportation and when it comes to the Electricity Generation weve seen the minister show up how hi country increases cars and from the mayor how successful in emerging countries and how successful and seen from the ceo they agree and visit us and still make money if those 3 can do we can all do as well thank you very much and thank you clapping. thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, sir and thank you panel it is very, very go back this is the conclusion of Lunch Program so at this point well be splilt into two groups if youre among the ministers youll go to the room next door in the colonial room and the c e m along the tower thank you on behalf of the Bay Area Council it is a pleasure to have you here in San Francisco and the bay area hope you enjoy the lunch thank you very clapping. i think we have more companies anywhere in the United States its at the amazing statement were not trying to be flashy or shocking just trying to create something new and original were one of the things about the conduct our you enter and turn your your back and just so the orchestra. The most contrary composer of this time if you accountability his music you would think hes a camera come important he become ill and it was crazy he at the end of his life and pushed the boundary to think were not acceptable at this point for sure it had a great influence he was a great influence on the harmonic language on the contemporary up to now. I thought it would be interesting because they have e he was contemporary we use him on this and his life was you kill our wife you get poisons all those things are Great Stories for on opera. I was leaving behind a little bit which those collaborative dancers i was really trying to focus on opera. A friend of mine said well, what would you really want to do i said opera what is it not opera parallel. Why isnt it are that i have the support now we can do that. I realized that was something that wasnt being done in San Francisco no other organization was doing this as opposed to contemporary we are very blessed in San Francisco to have organizations well, i thought that was going to be our speciality you create a conceptual idea for setting the opera and you spear ahead and work with the other sdierndz to create an overview vision thats the final product felt opera. I was very inspired to work with him because the way he looked at the key is the way i looked at sports looking at the daily. So much our mandate is to try to enter disis particular work theres great dancers and theatre actresses and choirs weve worked with and great video artists is a great place to collect and collaborate. I had a model they have a professionally music yes, maam assemble and as a student i benefited from being around this professional on and on soccer ball and as a conductor id be able to work with them and its helped my growth i had a dream of having a professional residential on and on soccer ball to be an imperial it operates as a laboratory we germ a national the ideas technically and work with activity artists and designers and video all over the on any given project to further the way we tell stories to improve our ability to tell stories on stage. Thats part of the opera lab i was to investigate that aspect of renaissance and new work so thats why this piece it is important it was a renaissance composer. There were young people that are not interested in seeing traditional opera and like the quality and its different it has a story telling quality every little detail is integrated and helps to capture the imagination and thats part of the opera how we can use those colors into the language of today. So one of the great things of the stories of opera and story combined with opera music it allows people to let go and be entertained and enjoy the music instead of putting on headphones. Thats what is great about art sometimes everyone loves it because you have to, you know, really great you have to have both some people dont like it and some people do were concerned about that. Its about thirty something out there thats risky. You know, disliked by someone torn apart and thats the whole point of what were drying to do you never take this for granted you make sure it is the best if you can. clapping. the airport it where i know to mind visions of traffic romance and excitement and gourmet can you limousine were at San Francisco inspirational airport to discover the awardwinning concession that conspiracies us around the world. Sfo serves are more 40 million travelers a year and a lot of the them are hungry theres many restaurant and nearly all are restaurant and cafe thats right even the airport is a diane designation. So tell me a little bit the food program at sfo and what makes this so special well, we have a we have food and Beverage Program at sfo we trivia important the sustainable organic produce and our objective to be a nonterminal and bring in the best food of San Francisco for our passengers. I like this its is inaudible i thank my parents for bringing me here. This the definitely better than the la airport one thousand times better than. I have a double knees burger with bacon. I realize im on a diet but im hoping this will be good. It total is San Francisco experience because theres so many people and nationalities in this town to come to the airport especially everyone what have what they wanted. Are repioneering or is this a model. Were definitely pioneers and in airport commemoration at least nationally if not intvrl we have many folks asking our our process and how we select our great operators. The food option in San Francisco airport are phenomenal thats if it a lot of the airports yeah. You dont have the choice. Some airports are all about food this is not many and this particular airport are amazing especially at the tirnl indicating and corey is my favorite i come one or two hours before my flight this is the life. We definitely try to use as many local grirnts as we can we use the goat cheese and we also use local vendors we use greenly produce they summarize the local soured products and the last one had 97 percent open that. Wow. Have you taken up anything unique or odd here. Ive picked up a few things in napa valley i love checking chocolates theres a lot of types of chocolate and caramel corn. Now this is a given right there. Im curious about the customer externals and how people are richmond to this collection of cities youve put together not only of San Francisco food in San Francisco but food across the bay area. This type of market with the local savors the highend products is great. I know people cant believe theyre in an airport i really joy people picking up things for their friends and family and wait i dont have to be shopping now we want people take the opportunity at our location. How long has this been operating in San Francisco and the late 18 hours it is one of the best places to get it coffee. We have intrrnl consumers that know of this original outlet here and come here for the coffee. So lets talk sandwiches. Uhhuh. Can you tell me how you came about naming our sandwiches from the katrero hills or 27 years i thought okay neighborhood and how do you keep it fresh you can answer that mia anyway you want.

So you feel like out of captured the airport atmosphere. This is its own the city the Airline Crews and the bag handlers and the frequent travels travelers and weve established relationships it feels good. When i get lunch or come to eat the food i feel like im not city. I was kind of under the assumption you want to be done with our gifts you are down one time not true we have a lot of regulars we didnt think wed find that here at the airport. People come in at least one a week for that the food and service and the atmosphere. The food is great in San Francisco its a coffee and i took an e calorie home every couple of weeks.

Com hi. Welcome to San Francisco. Stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. Letlook at common earthquake myths. We are here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco. We have 3 guest today. We have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. I want to talk about urban myths. What do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance . Hes sleeping during those earthquakes . Have you noticed him take any special . No. He sleeps right through them. There is no truth that im aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. You hear the myth all the time. Suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something i hear they are aware of small vibrations. But yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. Today is a spectacular day in San Francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. Is this earthquake weather . No. Not that i have heard of. No such thing. There is no such thing. We are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. There is no relationship. I have heard its hot or cold weather or rain. Im not sure which is the myth. How about time of day . Yes. It happens when its least convenient. When it happens people say we were lucky and when they dont. Its terrible timing. Its never a good time for an earthquake. But we are going to have one. How about the ground swallowing people into the ground . Like the earth that collapsed . Its not like the tv shows. The earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but its not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. Its not going anywhere. We are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. Southern california is moving north. Its coming up from the south to the north. You would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. Maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. For better or worse. Yes. This is a tough question. Those other ones werent tough. This is a really easy challenge. Are the smaller ones less stress . Yes. The amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. I think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4. 7. So small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future . Not anyway that you can count on. I have heard that buildings in San Francisco are on rollers and isolated . Its not true. Its a conventional Foundation Like almost all the circumstances buildings in San Francisco. The transamerica was built way before. Its a pretty conventional foundation design. I have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. Is there anything of value to that . Yes, if you are in your room. You should drop, cover and hold onto something. If you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. If you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, its not a bad place to be. The reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. You are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. You are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. You want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. Where can i buy a Richter Scale . Mr. Richter is selling it. We are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. They are not available. Its a rather complex. In fact we dont even use the Richter Scale anymore. We use a moment magnitude. The Richter Scale was early technology. Probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. Is that true . Loma prieta was different. The ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. So anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. We are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to San Francisco and a fault totally independent. Much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. So people who were here in 89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isnt really the threshold of damage. When you triple it you cross that line. Its much more damage in earthquake. I want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for all right.
