Tomorrow, as most of you know marks the 30th anniversary of the leoma skwaeurb earthquake ae city is hosting numerous events at the marina, as well as holding a tabletop exercise at the department of emergency management, include within of ie Structural Engineers seok and brop is the terminology for that and the annual duck and cover exercise held at citywide. Thats actually an earthquake event. While much has been accomplished over the past three decades to strengthen buildings seismically. Seismically, we must prepare for earthquakes around the world. With our Retrofitting Program in its final phase, we are at 98 compliance in terms of filed permits and thats quite an achievements.

So make sure, all the departments, you spend this money wisely. You dont take pen and paper home that you dont need.

Thank you all so much for being here. [cheers and applause] with that, i would like to turn it over to our budget chair, supervisor sandy fewer. [applause] thank you, madame mayor. Good morning, everyone. Wow. On behalf of my 80,000 residents in the Richmond District, i would like to welcome you to this part of town where our summers look like this every day off mac.

Demand. In all likelihood, that would be something that would be coming forward, if the exemption stays in place, at the state level, probably coming forward at a local level to require all businesses. Do we have any kind of idea on the date for ab161 . It is still in the senate. We do not have a date, at this point. Then, lastly, i just want to say that the last Strategic Plan that the department has is from 201314. I have discussed this with the president , and the Vice President , that it needs be updated. I think this is something we could work on during the Commission Meeting without having to have a separate meeting. We will be working with president adams and Vice President dwight to bring that to you. Great, thank you. Quick question, going back to the earlier thing.

Requiring toxic free paper. It still does have that Small Business exemption, but our office has worked with the department of the environment, where we will be submitting a joint recommendation to the city , legislative committee saying that we support the legislation im sorry i didnt finish this, should the event be that if the legislation does eliminate the Small Business exemption, i think we are fine with that. I think, statewide having all businesses provide that paper it helps create a greater market demand. In all likelihood, that would be something that would be coming forward, if the exemption stays in place, at the state level, probably coming forward at a local level to require all businesses.
