Got his degree in Washington State and started practicing in 1929 was martin j rest. The present st. Cecilia church are building [inaudible]. I think its the building has very high potential for being on the registry of landmarks in San Francisco and the present owner, marlenedaughter of fred, who founded the Company Built the building is still alive. Its going to a bone of contention for almost its entire life into it went up in operation of manufacturing a seetwo zone but it was declared all the legal sausage factory from the time it started running in 1940. It goes down finally in 1981. So theres been some public effort in the 80s, 81, 83 to great a special use zone within the area which is this building is actually its directly behind the st. Francis trying. So come the layout. Its right in that property from vallejo and greenstreet at 535. They bought the property from archbishop mitty as the sole corporation for the archdiocese of San Francisco. The archdiocese down in palo alto and actually menlo park is doing some research for me from the die size.

If she were to transmit those applications we would have to hear them at your july 6 hearing or, which because its close to the july 4 all day, maybe cancels.

The building is a committee for landmark status both for its architectural and artistic association. First, the church itself is architecturally significant work of master architect jesse leonard. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of the neoclassical style and a unique example of neoclassical ecclesiastical architecture in the city. Architect Justin Leonard was well known locally for his parts as chosen as the georges artistic today the building is one of limits you extend religious structure.

They work in progress since 1980, the great cloud of witnesses is a rare tribute and the largest most imaginatively executed folk artist environment dedicated to religion, culture, africanamerican history and role models in the country. The interior characteristic features include rooms, volume and was, and staircases that were historically accessible to the public such as the lobby jim georgia the collage mural is also considered [inaudible]is that rev.

Commissioners that are places on items seven for december 2015 007181, 140 maiden ln. This is also a landmark designation. Staff good afternoon commissioners. Shannon Ferguson Department staff. Im here today to present their parts trepidation regarding a mimics to the landmark designation for 140 maiden ln. Historically known as the gift shop located in the conservation district. 140 maiden was designated as landmark 72 and 1975. At the alltime leader in your features of the with designated such as a blank wall of brick and romanesque arch. The internal circular structure is equally as significant as the exterior and as a shop it was historically public good accessible. Complete level for the Guggenheim Museum 140 maiden ln. Is the first building to be constructed oozing what frank wainwrights favorite spectral shape the spiral which dominated his work out of finally. Frank wainwright is by far the most well known and influenced american art that although they produce several designs further buildings in San Francisco, the bc Mortgage Shop is the only one realize. It is a significant and rare modern building designed by the master architect. The Planning Department has shared the designation report with Property Owners and is received one letter of support from the Community Member supervisor peskin is also in support of the landmark designation. Commissioners wolfram and hyland visited the site this market during the site commissioners noted original light fixtures and [inaudible]. The department believes the building meets the stylish eligibility requirements and does designation is wanted without harman recommends a mimics to the designation to the board of supervisors this concludes my presentation good im happy to answer questions. President wolfram thank you. Any questions for ms. Ferguson . I have a question about the light fixtures in the pneumatic twotiered thats not currently staff thats not currently listed in the designation. We do not discuss it this morning during the site visit. Distort shows that the light fixtures may indeed be historic get people from these are the ones in the ceiling that are kind of what shape would you call that, spherical . Actually the first floor. The upperlevel lights are part of the [inaudible]. Thank you. Does any member of the public wish to comment on this item . Please come forward. Seeing none, anyone will close Public Comment and bring back to the commission. Commissioners, comment . Other comments . Im sorry. Okay. I apologize. We will reopen Public Comment. The 3 min. Testifier good afternoon on Sharon Slater in the Senior Vice President of Asset Management for Downtown Properties represent the owner of 140 maiden ln. We had a great site visit this morning and it was really good for me to know now that we are really on the same page as far as the preservation of the building. The concerns that youve expressed the same ones that we have, so that is great. My concern is that we been having some trouble with the leasing of the building. Our pool of prospective tenants is fairly narrow because were little picky about who we want to go into. Not everybody appreciates the history of the building. Weve had some problems with deals dropping out because theyre concerned about the process of getting approvals for any alterations they would like to make. Granted, not able to make any alterations to the elements we talked about, but just the process of getting plans approved even within that guideline is difficult. So, we talked about potentially meeting so we can talk about specifics of what the guidelines should be for the things that would be preapproved, like the color palettes for paint and that sort of thing. We what we saw when we have a popup was [inaudible] is my new pffit was my futile beautiful but the activation of the building was fantastic to see it so vibrant and full of people. We have so many request for people to visit the building. So, i would like to see it activated permanently as soon as possible. So i am hoping that you can help me smooth the way on this process so thats not a deterrent to getting the right kind of tenants we all want. Thank you. President wolfram thank you very much. Any other member of the public wish to comment on this item . Seeing none, and hearing none, will close Public Comments. Commissioner johnck commissioner johnck . Those comments, have any influence on the staff recommendation, but my basic idea here is this is another remarkable building for us to endorse landmark use. So i would move to approve staff president wolfram i like classic question of sector am wondering a subconscious made, whether we could administer this that would allow us to delegate to have some of the interior work, or a set of guidelines that you could meet with the Property Owner to discuss so they dont have to come back to the commission for doing painting or more minor work within the interior. Is that something that could be included in this or how would we do with this . I do know the ministry to see a vase onset of her injury when so much. Staff commissioners, theyou are certainly if youre inclined to do so you could amend this ordinance to clarify what could be delegated to staff, but article 10 in article 11 already do provide a mechanism for you to delegate to us at any time. So, if we were not to take up now, after meeting with the representatives of the building and having a better understanding of what types of scopes of work theyre interested in expediting, we could then come back to you at a future date with those and then at that time you could consider delegating them to us. You dont necessarily have to do as part of the delegation agreement were part of this ordinance could you can do it anytime president wolfram so this be approved by the order supervisors and mayor and so at later time when you meet with the Property Owner we could talk about what items could be delegated. I would like to be a supple to the owner as possible. Staff after the meeting we would then have a better understanding of exactly what we could delegate. President wolfram okay get i think that makes sense. I moved to approve staff recommendations before moved and seconded. President wolfram do it that i can do is a discussion about adding the light fixtures and the pneumatic tube. Which i would recommend adding with the additional the ground floor and light fixtures and the pneumatic tube. Where is the pneumatic tube and what was it for . Be wolfram it was for Public Processing orders and money. Do some the sales desk area down . President wolfram yes. Maybe the pneumatic tube on those second ground floor not necessarily the basement location. Does that make sense . Commissioner johnck absolutely. President wolfram i think we have a motion and a second. Clerk very good good on a motion to adopt the recommendations for approval to the board of supervisors, as amended to include the oval like pictures on the ground floor and pneumatic tube at the ground and second levels, so moved commissioners. The motion passes unanimously, 70. Commissioners places on item 8. December 2014001711. The wireless facility planning code did this is a amendment. Staff thank you. Omar mastery on behalf of the San Francisco Planning Department. The best before you as an item to request changes in San Francisco planning code recommendations to the board of supervisors. As it relates to wireless talk Mitigation Services facility. Otherwise known as referred to commonly as cell towers and cell antennas. Within this request would be a more brought change to article 10 and 11 of the planning code. Which do with certain entitlements first preservation applications peer if sfgtv could pull up the slideshow, please . So, one of the primary changes would clarify the staff can render a decision which includes approval or denial, of certain Historic Preservation applications. Those would include the mistreated certificate of appropriateness, reminder permit to alter. Currently, for example, article 10 of the planning code indicates that staff can it go. By this Historic Preservation commission, that can choose approve a application but [inaudible] the reason this is important is because a new state law took effect in january 2016. Over two initially is a be57. Basically said for wireless facility application comes in for any city or county in california, the city does not make a decision in so many days of application being complete then it is automatically approved or deemed granted. The city would have to go to court in order to try to stop that approval from taking effect. So, in this example, one of our concerns would be the care were to submit an application for wireless facility downtown and committed Building Permit application and application for the mistreated certificate of appropriateness is an article can map them of tradition. One of the concerns would be a scenario where the applicant has an application complete. The shot clock the time limit within 90 days or 150 days, is ticking and counts against the city the carrier has not provided design that looks like it complies or appears to comply with the security of interior standards for treatment for Historic Properties or other local boulders were other guidelines with respect to Historic Preservation concerns. In that scenario, the staff were inclined to try to deny this facility before the automatic approval took effect, one of the challenges we face is that we didnt initially required notification labels for owners and occupants within 70 feet. Back when the application was initially submitted. So the shortest demo, if you will, to get a project to hearing for denial if the carrier is not willing to make those changes in order to avoid an automatic approval. For the sake of clarity and consistency across article 10 and 11, this change would apply to all scopes of work that are delegated by this story Preservation Commission to departments that. So, it would include things like signage, including signage on the screen that has tenants onsite. Would include roof deck as it currently does. Historic alterations, both wireless facilities on rooftops as well as within the public rightofway. Since the antenna attached. By polls and transit polls and utility poles we now see in San Francisco. Another change would not be maybe a notable interest to the commission, but it would allow screening such as fake scrabble with the current acception fromits from steel towers and antennas and women associate with wireless facility. Were this would be of assistance as we may see as an example larger building and 67 stories where it exceeds the 40 foot height limit for instance down to much of the city. That building may be less intrusive in terms of the overall size of the facility being scale and context appropriate respect to the building but because of the current height limitations for screening elements, the carrier may not be able to pursue that cyprus the screen is used to stop the equipment the antennas and cabling and other appurtenances would not be an option available under the plan current planning code rules. So the ability to add screen above limits consistent with exception currently for onscreen facilities would allow staff to work with carriers and the community to find less intrusive locations especially from a scale and context perspective. However, Code Amendment this clip by staff would still be able to review projects with respect to design review, shed of you and city parks and prisons Historic Preservation review. Many limits imposed by the Planning Commission is so, this example at the bottom of the photo, the proposed simulation, chosen design a potentially Historic Resource we would not consider appropriate and still maintain the ability to request that the care modified or design more appropriate for the building of the neighborhood. Ms. Just to wrap up, the one which provides you in the Planning Commission or start commission back it was on son. You provided a signed version of that. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended initiation of the amendment of march 17 and the scheduled adoption hearing for june 16 or any time afterwards and supervisor avalos is also sponsored the proposed amendment. With that, ill post my presentation and be happy to answer questions. Thank you. President wolfram thank you. Mr. Find staff just a followup on mr. Masterys comments, i just want to provide a little more clarity on what existing in the code. In terms of your process. And what this change really means for article 10 and 11. Essentially, the code in terms of delegation is silent on whether or not we can disapprove entitlements and administrative entitlement. With this does it just clarifies that. So, in the case of any member of the public were this commission appealing or asking are we filing a request for hearing, all of those mechanisms still stay in place. So, as you recall, i think in the sims 2009, weve had to request for hearings. That would still be the process if the wireless carrier were neighbor felt that we approved or disapproved something in error. They could still petition this commission, or any of the members of this commission could do the same and we would schedule it at the next hearing. So, really, again, all this is doing is allowing us to disapproved something as long as youve delegated it to staff. Because its related specificallybut changes were brought upon because of this new wireless amendment, we felt though it was more responsible to broaden that still wasnt that we were just disapproving or approving wireless facilities, that we are actually using the same process for all items delegated to us. But again, if you need further clarification on that we can always walk through the code sections as well. President wolfram thank you. Commissioner johnck commissioner johnck did you open public hearing president wolfram weve not done Public Commented yet. Commissioner johnck okay can i just im just curious and maybe can answer more discussion after Public Comment, but im trying to understand the context of this because ive been seeing the mbtas come through in a bit looking at them. Say what are the implications for Historic Preservation because sin theres lots. Theres a lot of these. Its a documented many years ago when al gore had wire american we were laying fiber optic cable all over the phrase is using this is phase 2 these kinds of wireless enhancements structures so to speak. I am just like your comments about ive not seen anything that would be particularly obtrusive, knowing what the purpose of these are. And that kind of thing. Although, i be interested to see if you need further scrutiny on these or if theres not too muchnot that many issues with these . Do you have enough leeway to approve things as you been doing . Or do you need to mark . Staff under the current process, yes. I would just add the czar and omar can chime in on this as well. These are very timeconsuming applications. Theres a lot of backandforth that has to occur designwise between the wireless carriers and staff. They are generally open to that conversation, but it takes a number of rounds of revisions to get to a point where we feel that it doesnt sort of overwhelmed the roofline or different since at t was going to install something, then verizon and tmobile dont come and try to do the same thing and then we have an antenna farm on the roof. So, because of thatbecause there is a diminished sort of mechanism to work with because of this new clock, we felt it was necessary just as a safeguard measure to have this option to deny something. Its purely the carriers in action on responding to us that could require us to approve it. That was when of our main concerns. Staff if i may clarify, the federal and state law are required it has to approve facilities necessarily could push us to make a decision faster. The process of the aco will is a definite advantage for the individual specially the sequencer project inevitable for article 10 and 11 entitlement as was the Planning Commission entitlement to those constrained time frames within 90 days for the location can be a real challenge. With the victory are seeing for the [inaudible] are mostly modifications. Theyre mostly dismisses where carrier has antennas 10 years further swapping out and we had varying degrees of success. Getting those antennas off the primary side where they should not have been approved using it when we do not knows as much. Its a constant sort of discussion with both the carriers trying to move equipment, mood facilities with the Property Owners. The sometime questioned why the changes occurring. This often pieces where a staff were talking to the Property Owner st. Rashly asking for this change because it week is beneficial to the neighborhood and building as well as in terms of enhancing its own. President wolfram thank you. Commissioner hasz commissioner hasz to question. When we have the hansen street probably two years ago and we completely asked for redesign our calls. They look great. Did that come because of the Historic District or why . Adjusting market st. , van, right because i can to testifier that was a first for a small. Cityowned before that weve only seen wireless facilities on with utility poles the city does not open. Those are the most controversial often big and bulky. Reddit the bedroom items. We seen a lot more support, if you will, with respect to small styles that can be 40. So verizon came forward the design four 320 small cells initially in soma northeast of the city to attach two small boxes an antenna. We got to design many neighbors about reset it looks pretty darn good its a fairly unintrusive, and susan were now seen tmobile, copying our design. Seeing att and looking possibly going, that same path and we think its a good sort of starting point. Commissioner hasz all that stuff comes up under this 98, and . Testifier for brandnew site its 150 days. However, the city owns the assets, likely on the parties actually the sole site is going on, we own the steel plate welcome those do not apply because a Property Owner we have more discretion we can say that, but start by because we be acting as in her capacity as a Property Owner of the permitting agency. We face a real challenge to be the new site is on private property. The code location is at 90 days on private property in the antennas attached to the existing wooden poles on by say pacific gas electric. Commissioner hasz think the clarifying. That helps out. By second question would oh my second question my comments and would be ongoing about height limit for screening. I think its kind of a tricky thing. And to meet you must bei get worried saying [inaudible] to me that season on a restriction so currently on onscreen antennas is very certain height allowed to go . Is a casebycase basis . Testifier theres no either mr. Unscreened antennas and towers. Rather approved unscreened 10 is and towers for cell phones first. They generally dont need to be that high. Commissioner hasz i would just love to see some kind of limiting language. On height. Staff minors in that provision is that was applied to situations where the building is already overnight limit . Speeds testifier it be broadbased. Imbued reviewed by exceeding a height. For example in the bayview if the carrier came forward and want to put up fake water tower on the site would normally beif on a rooftop permitted because its 25 feet above the height limit but the ground for the fake water tower could automatically require Planning Commission reviewed and will be subject to any limitations posed by the Planning Commission specified limit included within the scope of the application. Commissioner hasz on top mess of that, under this change would not go to any commission, right . Thats what were talking about. Doing it so you can take your this inhouse. So, to me am happy to give that approval, but im really notim leery of giving anything without limiting that height limit. Testifier is a qualified. In any Zoning District thats not cdm or conduct searches in cedar six, r districts, all they recorded the Planning Commission and they have. So we check there if you appeared in the downtown, for instance without via any public review normally, if you can exceed more than 25 feet above the roof height youre already can be taken to require Planning Commission conditional use authorization and so there is sort of ive seen a couple of these installations downtown on rooftops and only 15 feet tall maximum. You adjusting to me that should be a number that should be in the. Im wondering if we could get this works or not you let me know, god limitations on the roof you can do certain things about the height limit and the code right now like elevator penthouses and stare penthouses and there are limitations. On how much of the roof they can cover and how high those can be. It seems like that would be a logical we could use those same limits. I dont know if that works, omar . Testifier thats what we are currently good reason since it is a template height exception for pipes weve applied to determination by the zone administrator. For fake elevator and house is only 16 foot height limit if youre in a sony district thats come im sorry, a high distance over 65 feet. So that 16 foot exception reply as well for something that makes a fake 0v penthouse. Which generally gives the challenge though. It can mimic in elevator penthouses give you near the edge of the roof generally. Doesnt look like it belongs there. So you put the elevator penthouses in the middle of the roof and you have 16 foot to work with, its only 16 feet above the height limit, the building rac site limit you dont have as much to work with. So that site not mean up the bible and we have less ability to encourage the carrier to move further back onto thefurther back away from the primary facade. Commissioner hasz because i help with these regulations the signal goes out and a certain dive pattern just cant make it over the building down onto the street. Testifier to restate the carriers are tied up push to as close as the roof is possible. This of the panels not for every type of wireless disorder that odyssey this most challenging ubiquitous facility insulation. So the comp demise has been get a onetoone setback. For every foot of height above the parapet of the roofline, i move the antenna and screening back 1 foot away from the facade so doesnt appear to impose and dominate the roof line. President wolfram commissioner bauman commissioner pearlman it seems to me the staff in general is fairly conservative about anything that isnt specifically in the code so things like not having a limit. I would trust the staff were specimen comes to Historic Buildings to be quite certain sect about something being 30 feet up and very visible, and would either deny or would then have a process through as mr. Mastery said the things that would need to go to the Planning Commission or come here. So, i dont have that particular fear that something is going to sneak through that would be so obtrusive. It seems that the staff would catch Something Like that quite quickly. And would work with the carrier to deal with it. Speed president wolfram commissioner hasz commissioner hasz in hearing talking about once one that starts making sense that its a limiting factor. That sounds good. If thats not in their written, maybe it should be. Maybe i guide you been using but maybe that should be here starbase standard. 121. President wolfram staff at this time with a Public Comments. Does any member of the public was to make comment on this item we pick if so, these come forward. You will have 3 min. Testifier my name is another james. It sounds like something that i am having a problem with my community. Im not sure why but anyway, ipg and he has a hole in my backyard in the back of our property, and always telecommunication wires are going to that. But, at the same time, since they put it in they say they have a light easement to the property. But, cars is the easement to my neighbor in that. But now cars are wider and bigger theres only 15 inches so nobody can get through thatdescartes or Station Wagon cant get through that and i asked them, with a move the poll they said they have a right to be there, but instead of them going back to her property, they stopped in front of my property and blocked my garage. So im just saying, this can be a problem and whether, like you limit it to so many years, i think its a good idea to take a new look at that but, right now, i dont know what this is related to were not but lily is a problem because theres seven houses that are connected to that poll with electricity, as well as the wiring for their telecommunication and what have you. So, anyway, it does have an effect. The other thing i want to say, thank you for voting for rev. Gordon because it is my community and we have use that and i thank you very much. Thank. President wolfram thank you. Any other member of the public was to comment on this item . Seeing none, and hearing none, will close Public Comment and bring it back to the commission did commissioners hamilton asked to adopt a resolution recommending approval. Commissioner hasz commissioner hasz i do want to move to approve that last comment, designer; and, but for the decision coming out currently from our Department Just looking forward 10 years that we have some standards. The only reason i bring that up and kept bringing it up. But otherwise, yes, i moved to approve president wolfram stirfried staff to appoint accreditation based on commissioner hasz is common. With a desire to include women that resolution because remember, this is review and comment zero comments we forwarded to the Planning Commission and the board of supervisors. The got something in there at all lines up the hpc desires some language that talks about a limiting factor, whether a not to exceed, or some other existing policy that the department uses just demonstrating that these should not be the carriers should not have unlimited access to height. President wolfram commissioner johnck commissioner johnck i was also interested in this issue of screening and exceeding height limits the kind of thing. So i would be interested in that to suggest that the code be amended to include a basic standard. Such as we talked about. President wolfram commissioner hasz commissioner hasz testifier 121 sounds good to me. She will give a comment on this testifier each of the standards runs of two different technologies. For instance if we make a broadbased exemption to include wireless than total, theres some wireless facilities that are simply antenna the size of the with of my pinky. He may not have any interest for practical day by day standpoint of limiting the height of that within 10 in the middleoftheroad in which i do limit based on these different metrics, theres going to be a larger exceptions will be going challenge in order to review. So if i could offer i think the 25 foot height sort of trigger for those providers leverage in terms of same to the carrier, if you go that high, you have to go back for the Planning Commission and eight limitations imposed by them. Commissioner hasz im sorry but 25 is so high at the age of any building. Right . I mean were talking 16 foot from elevator penthouse. Thats never the edge of the building like we were saying. Its just, i just will, were not doing this commonly. I just worry about it being read between the lines in the city getting sued by some carrier saying i want 25. He did i get that and you know what i mean . Be bumped heads with them this commission on the sanford street now and again on the Market Street now and they were not as bendable is your experiencing. At the commission level. So i can imagine sometimes its a fight. I just look, we push backs up all the time that this commission but its only a store building but to me every building should not have stopped jammed up to the front of it. We also dont have a with. Find them okay maybe we have 16 foot height but we make the width of the whole building. It just feels a little loose. Testifier if i could clarify, the intent is having basic language is also cover things that ought to be on rooftops. For instance, without carrier proposes a tree at a along the freeway on the 280 . Get to consider the structure thats a height limitations were part one supported by clocktower that also has cell antennas in there. So we try to create a simple baseline recognizing it preserves our ability to say no. The other item i would point out, there often are instances among site visitors were up there on the rooftops with engineers and rosina try mine were kerry is not going top of the roof try to get ui because what happens they start to interfere with own network chemistry. They want to contain the signal within a lower area. So not seen carrier summary try to get more height because that defeats the purpose of what theyre trying to accomplish when it comes to the cell antennas specifically. President wolfram i think what you are saying is that you dont want to codify the onetoone because theres a lot of extenuating circumstances and unattended consequently the way to incorporate into the guidelines as opposed to the legislation . Testifier we can cut a fight into the guidelines. We provided president wolfram if its in the code then commissioner hasz i get you. Just something in there. Probably the with like no more than 25 of the width of the building or something. You know . President wolfram commissioner johnck commissioner johnck no, im done but i agree with putting in the guidelines. I hear what youre saying. Testifier i would agree the guidelines would be the appropriate place to put that in. President wolfram okay so i moved to approve the changes. The set was that San Francisco San Francisco you have a conversation with a woman who spoke earlier . Clerk if theres nothing further theres a motion seconded to adopt the recommendation for approval and the motion, so moves commissioners. The motion passes unanimously 70. That concludes our hearing today. President wolfram the hearing is adjourned. [gavel] [adjournment] hi today we have a special edition of building San Francisco, stay safe, what we are going to be talking about San Franciscos earth quakes, what you can do before an earthquake in your home, to be ready and after an earthquake to make sure that you are comfortable staying at home, while the city recovers. The next episode of stay safe, we have Alicia Johnson from San Franciscos department of emergency management. Hi, alicia thanks to coming it is a pleasure to be here with you. I wonder if you could tell us what you think people can do to get ready for what we know is a coming earthquake in San Francisco. Well, one of the most things that people can do is to make sure that you have a plan to communicate with people who live both in and out of state. Having an out of state contact, to call, text or post on your social network is really important and being able to know how you are going to communicate with your friends, and family who live near you, where you might meet them if your home is uninhab hitable. How long do you think that it will be before things are restored to normal in San Francisco. It depends on the severity of the earthquake, we say to provide for 72 hours tha, is three days, and it helps to know that you might be without services for up to a week or more, depending on how heavy the shaking is and how many after shocks we have. What kind of neighborhood and Community Involvement might you want to have before an earthquake to make sure that you are going to able to have the support that you need. It is important to have a Good Relationship with your neighbors and your community. Go to those community events, shop at local businesses, have a reciprocal relationship with them so that you know how to take care of yourself and who you can rely on and who can take care of you. It is important to have a batteryoperated radio in your home so that you can keep track of what is happening in the Community Around and how you can communicate with other people. One of the things that seems important is to have access to your important documents. Yes, it is important to have copies of those and also stored them remotely. So a title to a home, a passport, a drivers license, any type of medical records that you need need, back those up or put them on a remote drive or store them on the cloud, the same is true with any Vital Information on your computer. Back that up and have that on a cloud in case your hard drive does not work any more. In your home you should be prepared as well. Absolutely. Lets take a look at the kinds of things that you might want to have in your home. We have no water, what are we going to do about water . It is important for have extra water in your house, you want to have bottled water or a five gallon container of water able to use on a regular basis, both for bathing and cooking as well as for drinking. We have this big container and also in peoples homes they have a hot water heater. Absolutely, if you clean your hot water heater out regularly you can use that for showering, drinking and bathing as well what other things do people need to have arent their home. It is important to have extra every day items buy a couple extra cans of can food that you can eat without any preparation. Here is a giant can of green giant canned corn. And this, a manual can opener, your electric can opener will not be working not only to have one but to know where to find it in your kitchen. Yes. So in addition to canned goods, we are going to have fresh food and you have to preserve that and i know that we have an ice chest. Having an ice chest on hand is really important because your refrigerator will not be working right away. It is important to have somebody else that can store cold foods so something that you might be able to take with you if you have to leave your home. And here, this is my very own personal emergency supply box for my house. I hope that you have an alternative one at home. Oh, i forgot. And in this is really important, you should have flashlights that have batteries, fresh batteries or hand crank flashlight. I have them right here. Good. Excellent. That is great. Additionally, you are going to want to have candles a whistle, possibly a compass as well. Markers if you want to label things if you need to, to people that you are safe in your home or that you have left your home. I am okay and i will meet you at. Exactly. Exactly. Water proof matches are a great thing to have as well. We have matches here. And my spare glasses. And your spare glasses. If you have medication, you should keep it with you or have access to it. If it needs to be refrigerated make sure that it is in your ice box. Inside, just to point out for you, we have spare batteries. Very important. We have a little first aid kit. And lots of different kinds of batteries. And another spare flashlight. So, alicia what else can we do to prepare our homes for an earthquake so we dont have damage . One of the most important things that you can do is to secure your valuable and breakable items. Make sure that your tv is strapped down to your entertainment cabinet or wall so it does not move. Also important is to make sure that your book case is secure to the wall so that it does not fall over and your valuable and breakables do not break on the ground. Becoming prepared is not that difficult. Taking care of your home, making sure that you have a few extra everyday items on hand helps to make the difference. That contributes dramatically to the way that the city as a whole can recover. Absolutely. If you are able to control your own environment and house and recovery and your neighbors are doing the same the city as a whole will be a more resilient city. We are all proud of living in San Francisco and being prepared helps us stay here. So, thank you so much for joining us today, alicia, i appreciate it. Absolutely, it is my pleasure. And thank you for joining us on another edition of building good afternoon id like to call the San Francisco board of education it is 1 308 p. M. Roll call. Commissioner courtney commissioner caen
