Go ahead and call your next item. Item 3 is communications and i understand that the chair has something chair Mohammed Nuru so i think that everyone is mourning the passing of the mayor in the last few days and i know that for me its been difficult because he was not only a boss but a close friend of mine, but more importantly he was a champion of this project. When i joined the board there were a lot of financial needs and concerns and trying to make sure that we got the project to the way that it is now and we were able to finish it and through his leadership, really stepped up and did everything on behalf of the city. To make sure that the city could do its part.

Thank you. Clerk well move into the next item on the agenda. Board of directors new business. Seeing none, next item is item
Good evening again, president honda, commissioners. Cory teague, Planning Department staff. Just briefly, did get a chance to look over the proposed plans by the permit holder just to see if they would be consistent with the ceqa analysis that was conducted for the site and consistent with current planning code requirements, and the proposed revision would be consistent with both. The only thing i would point out is that generally, if a project had already been noticed and comes back and proposes to raise the height by a couple of feet, it would trigger renotice. In this case, obviously, all of the people that have received notice and are engaged are verien gauged in this process. The rest of the revisions are just at the discretion of the board. Im available for any questions you may have. Mr. Teague, what was the what is the max height they can go in comparison to where were at now . So i think well, as was mentioned during the permit holders presentation, the height district here it
Good afternoon. Im paulo ikezoe. And today i will give you a brief presentation with some background and a few highlights on the 2016 commerce and industry inventory and then i will be available for any questions or comments. So just as a reminder, this is the commerce and Industry Annual report combining information from a variety of internal and external data sources. In addition to compiling an annual snapshot, the data we compile every year should serve as a background for updating the commerce and industry element of our general plans. 2016 was the sixth Consecutive Year of job growth in San Francisco and its estimated that we had over 703,000 jobs in the city at the end of 2016, which is a new record.

As you can see, the city continues to outperform the region, the state and the nation on unemployment. Employment has grown ac
Super storm sandy so long how it was that new york had failed to issued evacuation orders and how it was that 70 buildings and key pieces of infrastructure were flooded. During that storm. In the meteorologist there who were incredibly talented cap time in the same thing over and over again. We are just not very good at forecasting in predicting it. For the kind of havoc that is erect by these storms. We saw that in 2017 with hurricane maria. In thinking about the infrastructure and predictions and how it is that we respond to Natural Disaster it occurred to me that for all that is powerful about a hurricane they are no no where near nowhere near our most powerful phenomenon. Earthquakes are stronger and so i started to think how do we prepare for those sorts of Natural Disasters. As a nature and nation. When you think about that.

And in my research, i spent a lot of time at the National Hurricane center, and the meteorologists there who were incredibly talented kept telling me the same thing over and and over again and that was, you know, were just not very good at this.

And we saw that in 2017 with hurricane maria, we saw that with hurricane hugo. And as i was leaving and thinking about the questions of infrastructure and prediction and how it is that we respond to Natural Disaster, it to occurred to me that, you know, for all that is powerful about a hurricane, theyre nowhere near our most powerful natural phenomenon, you know .
