A lot of hard work. They knocked the fire down and training, having equipment available, having the mayor and everyone behind the Fire Department, it all came together that day. I can tell you it was a proud day for the front San Francisco Fire Department and also for the people who came in and the offduty guys and it all worked out good. For all of us that were there that day, they were proud of what happened. We did the best we could under the circumstances and it all worked out. Here we are today. Thank you very much. Thank you. Right on time. [applause] again, we want to thank each and everyone of you for joining us here today to commemorate the 30 Year Anniversary of the earthquake. We honor the men and women of the San Francisco police and Fire Department that have put their lives on the line year after year in this city to keep us all safe.

Four centuries what might happen there. While we would never want to accuse either harvard or the university of michigan of theft it is an indisputable fact this upsurge in good fortune was ours before it was theirs. Phil deloria received his bachelors degree from the university of colorado in 1982. Wanting to observe and understand humanity from many different angles, he then taught band at A Denver Metro high school. Having observed High School Music performance to satisfaction he returned to cu for journalism and mass communication. Thats when we remembered what to call the program before it became an acronym that is it different every time i say it.

In that course students were required to write about an adventure they experienced. It launched me on a western add ven tutur
Really recognize that we have indeed received gods blessing however, we name our god since a terrible day that we remember as the earthquake. On october 17th, 1989. For those of us who were around at that time, remember there was a moment when we didnt know what to do. The bridges were closed. It seems like we were really stuck. What happened is gods spirit within us took over and what happened is communities came together. The communities came together to not only address the immediate issues, but the more farreaching issues. Example, the San Francisco Interfaith Council was founded as a consequence. Can you imagine that week all of our faith decided we should Work Together as a community of San Francisco and Work Together. Thank you, god. You had to ring the bell a little loud, but we got it. Thank you for the First Responders, many of whom risked their lives. Thank you also for the individuals who are not First Responders, but who stepped out. They let god work in them. They have be
Praying always that there should be an implementation for this. Thank you. And congratulations to all of us. Thank you for your testimony. Next speaker, please. Mr. Peterson. Thank you. Good evening supervisors. My name is christopher peterson. I strongly support finding new sources of revenue to fund Affordable Housing. Sounds like a substantial increase and this fee is appropriate. Im agnostic about what the exact amount should be. But i do think theres one factor that i havent heard discussed in this process. That its important for this and should be just a routine component of the analysis of other similar significant measures, which is Climate Change. This proposed fee increase potentially could play a beneficial role in the citys response for example by increasing supply of Affordable Housing in the city.
