In 1909 there was no requirement for earthquake design. Until 1933 when the reilly act went into effect after the disastrous 1933 Santa Barbara long beach. Destroyed elementary schools. They were brick. If the kids were in school, we would have lost thousands of kids. That banned brick construction and required seismic designs to be incorporated in buildings. There was a major there are a number of thresholds over the course of the development. The big one is in the mid 70s, but a whole threshold, series of these thresholds. Many of the older buildings, like the 1 across the street have been upgraded to meet some modern standards. This is the Williams Building that we were talking about that is the replacement of the building that was damaged in the 1906 earthquake. It was built just like it with the plans. This building they were going to dynamite it. In 06, they dynamited buildings to clear the path. From an interesting point of view, spencer is here, this building is incorporating i
Component will be two blocks up the street in a landmark building. When people do development, there is tradeoff for affordable housing. It is not always within the ritz carlton itself. It can be relocated or paid into a fund and used another way. We will walk a block down this way down comMission Street. We are down here at the corner of third street and Mission Street. There is lots of construction going on. Some old buildings. This is not necessarily a historic walking tour. This is to talk about buildings and earthquake issues. Let me mention something more modern about earthquakes. I have been at this earthquake conference for a whole week. One of the big issues is what is the public expectation of the performance of a building. This is a good time to point out to you, the buildings only have to be built as well as the code that was in effect when they were built. If somebody said is my building up to code, i will say yes it is up to code. It is up to the 1909 code. In 1909 there
Its like exponentially for people who are formerly incarcerated that then want to go to the next step. Theyre not going to be able to afford sf state most likely or the private universities. So, the only access theyll have is city college. And if we remain true in our commitment and our goal that we really want to do everything we can to tackle recidivism, then city college in my opinion is the strategy where that next step has frankly been denied so far. So, i look forward to working with certainly the city college community, the board of supervisors, and i think its time the criminal Justice System be more vocal in this discussion of us vigorously defend and vigorously bolster city college stations in San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you. applause thank you, sheriff mirkarimi.

Degree and my future and, you know, i dont know any other Guidance Program like the one at city college in the state. It would be devastating for me to lose the opportunity that that program provides. I mean, it provides a safety net for me as a student, to be able to get my books, to get housing assistance, to get transportation assistance, and thats just one of the programs that ccsf has to offer. I mean, this school is a gem. I mean, we are the model school for the nation. Thank you. applause thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is [speaker not understood] simmons and i am the [speaker not understood] president of downtown campus. I am here on behalf of almost 10,000 students and also on behalf of the 85,000 students. I would like to speak about our students who are immigrants who need city college so much. As a native speaker for esl, for lowincome people, for people that struggle in jobs and [speaker not understood] courses to better their lives and better their jobs, a
