today we are going to talk about fire safety. we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. it's a wonderful display. a little house in the urban center exhibition center that shows what it's like in a home in san francisco after an earthquake. one of the major issues that we are going to face after earthquakes are fire hazard. we are happy to have the fire marshall join us today. >> thank you. my pleasure. >> we talk about the san francisco earthquake that was a fire that mostly devastated the city. how do we avoid that kind of problem. how can we reduce fire hazard? >> the construction was a lot different. we don't expect what we had then. we want to make sure with the gas heaters that the gas is shut off. >> if you shut it off you are going to have no hot water or heat. be careful not to shut it off unless you smell gas. >> absolutely because once you do shut it off you should have the utility company come in and turn it back on. here is a mock up of a gas hear the on a house. where would we find the gas meter? >> it should be in your garage. everyone should be familiar with where the gas meter is. >> one of the tools is a wrench, a crescent wrench. >> yes. the crescent wrench is good and this is a perfect example of how to have it so you can loosen it up and use it when you need it. >> okay. let's go inside to talk about fire safety. many of the issues here relate to fire, for example, we have a little smoke detector and i see you brought one here, a carbon monoxide smoke detector. >> this is a combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detector. they are required in single homes now and in apartment buildings. if gas appliance is not burning properly this will alert you before the fumes buildup and will affect you negatively. >> this is a battery powered? >> this is a battery powered and it has a 10 year battery life. a lot of times you may have one or the other. if you put in just a carbon monoxide detector, it's important to have one of these too. every house should have a fire extinguisher, yes. >> one thing people expect to do when the power goes out after an earthquake about using candles. what would you recommend? >> if you have a battery operated candle would be better to use. this kind of a candle, you wouldn't want it in an area where it can cause a fire or aftershock that it doesn't rollover. you definitely want to have this in a non-combustible surface. >> now, here we have our stove. after a significant earthquake we expect that we may have gas disrupted and so without gas in your home, how are you going to cook? >> well, i wouldn't recommend cooking inside of the house. you have to go outside and use a portable stove or something else. >> so it wouldn't be safe to use your fireplace to cook? >> not at first. you should check it by a professional first. >> outside should be a safe place to cook as long as you stay away from buildings and doors and windows. >> yes. that will be fine. >> here we have some alternative cooking areas. >> you can barbecue and if you have a regular propane bark could barbecue. >> thank you for joining us. and thanks for this terrific space that you have in this exhibition space and thanks for helping san francisco stay safe. day. >> thank you for being here today to welcome air lingus to san francisco international airport i'm john martin the airport director i want to send a welcome to lingus to christofi mueller (clapping) joined by a number of digital tars including the mayor of san francisco mayor ed lee. mr. mayor (clapping) for san francisco and the city of cork the sister city has a relationship we're happy to welcome the deputy mayor laurie king stone raise your hand. and the cork chamber of commerce ceo conner healy. thank you (clapping) also present from the san francisco sister city committee the chairman during mat. thank you (clapping) and the business committee chair jim.

>> i received no public comment on this item. >> and any other items from the commissioners, if not, then, we will go on to the next item. item 9, is the joined conference committee report back and honda and did meet in between the last commission meeting and today, and so commissioner sanchez. we have a report from commissioner sanchez? >> yes. we had a full committee and we heard an excellent report from the hospital staff and also the unique acknowledgments given to the staff ranging from the state wide to the fiscal outstanding excellence, and the city wide awards and etc.. and there was also a full report and the balance and showing it for the past few months and began well defined. and i think that one of the major reports that we heard and we heard and the nutritional services and also the wellness update showing why the participation and our patients and our staff and our communities and the accessibility from the community to and the community itself. and we would serve 700 meals plus 300 and 1,000 meals a day, at laguna honda and the quality of the service and i requested an updated daily or not annually but not monthly or daily but to listen to the personnel who are involved in this process it was really remarkable and commending to see the dedication and the commitment that they had to providing these excellent nutritional programs and specialized diets for our patients and these are continually monitored and updated sxets. and in closing, we also approved the comprehensive wide policy and procedures update which has been ongoing, and had a closed session in which we followed the procedures and running the medical staffing, and we adjourned and we had a very excellent meeting. and any additional comments from the colleagues. >> commissioners any further comment? >> any public comment on the... >> i have received no public comment for this item. >> other commissioners have no further questions? for our members at laguna good. we will go to the next item. >> 10 is committee agenda settings. >> and okay, so, commissioners in understanding of the last planning meeting and what we will be trying to plan for a community meeting and we will be trying to select a... >> the planning. >> well, we are going to do both, you are right. and we have asked for your input on dates for the planning meeting, thank you. and also, we spoke about trying to have a community meeting and we are seeking out sights and a thought at the moment that we have not gone to the mission in the cycles that we have had for quite some time and with the change in the whole dem graphics and if the entire area and i think that it would be good for our commission to understand that and how we need to meet the needs of that population and so i have asked the director garcia to look into seeing how we can do a community meeting there this was you may remember part of the thoughts that came out of the planning meeting last year to try to see if we could then have more community input. and we will see how that works. and an opportunity to interact with our community at the meeting. so, that will also be in the planning >> yes, commissioner melara? >> i also want to remind us that we have postponed the joint commission meeting with the department or with the commission on the side of the women and i am not even seeing it on the calendar any more. so, we need to move on that. >> i am waiting actually to hear back from them on dates, commissioners so even though it is not on here, it is on my list to make sure that it is on the calendar. >> good. >> we are also looking to see that as commissioner chung noted today, that as we move from our committees, and which are doing just some excellent amount of work in terms of looking at the issues being brought there in depth that we are reminding ourselves what should then come before the full commission and also, have those presentations enhanced with the other partners and may be actually involved so that the wider discussion within the various parts of our city family which i think that we have all been talking about the people that would like to encourage and so, not only will we bring forward a report, but when appropriate, and the commission that you just mentioned is one of those. and although there is no specific item that we have at the moment and but there is, and i think that the long term care report was a good example of how that works, and the director garcia suggested that we can do the same with many of our other activities that also involve other city partners, or even other consorcium and the private sector that will help to enhance the total understanding of the total picture and our own understanding of not just what we were doing is and how this is being leveraged for additional activities within the city family and the community. >> and but doctor, garcia, did you want to comment further? >> yes, we will be looking at these items and as an example of the pedestrian an safety, the vision zero, where we have a specific roll that we showed that at the committee and then we will show at the full commission, how we interact with other departments. as example of co-chairing some of the committees and we will have the departments representatives here so that you can see the full picture of how it all works and how we are collaborativive with the other departments, and but we play a specific role in that, that is probably going to be played out at the committee level, and then at the commission level, where we will show the whole picture of how it all works together with the other departments. and we will be looking at items like that so that we can build upon the committee work. >> thank you. >> and is there some other further items that commissioners would like to see on our calendar? >> if not, no. >> you know, through the chair, no. i was just i was going to match the calendar and i was going to see that the doctor is going to present where was the, we do have an updated list of items. >> yes. >> and right. on the back page. >> and on our over all, and i was going to share as i, and i believe that the california rankings of our public health departments is now available through the rwj and the foundation and we had discussed this last year, and doctor and kevin and others were adding some thoughts to it and i thought that it might be a good time to update to see how we are doing it. and also, to take a look at the criteria. and maybe, you know, some of the foundations that need to as various states are going through challenges, perhaps we need to bring up to the radar the fact that there are some unique challenges and a number of states are facing including ours. and in a particular unique county, such as ours and such as our discussion that we just had pertaining to our proposed center of excellence in what we are doing and there are so many new areas that concern would be part of the parameter, but at the same time, i think that it gives us an opportunity to sort of see, some of the old benchmarks that are being used, to sort of rank public health departments within the state and within the nation. >> and so i think that ties in very well with our community and public health that is monitoring our own efforts in the public health accreditation and i ask that be placed at that committee level first and i believe that certainly is something that the commission would like to hear. >> i also will be setting up on the meetings with the commissioners who are chairing the committees so that we can go over the calendars and make sure that we are capturing all of the items with commissioner mcghee. >> very good. >> any other items if not, we will move on to the next item. >> which is adjournment. >> yes. >> is there a motion for adjournment? >> so moved. >> is there a second, please? >> second. >> all of those in favor of adjournment, please say aye? >> aye. >> all of those opposed? , therefore this meeting is adjourned. thank you.day. >> thank you for being here today to welcome air lingus to san francisco international airport i'm john martin the airport director i want to send a welcome to lingus to christofi mueller (clapping) joined by a number of digital tars including the mayor of san francisco mayor ed lee. mr. mayor (clapping) for san francisco and the city of cork the sister city has a relationship we're happy to welcome the deputy mayor laurie king stone raise your hand. and the cork chamber of commerce ceo conner healy. thank you (clapping) also present from the san francisco sister city committee the chairman during mat. thank you (clapping) and the business committee chair jim.

seeing none, i will close public comment regarding the closed session and so that leaves us on item 9, while we're in the break i just want to say i've done everything except blackmail and extortion to keep mr. assmann. i'm a law-abiding citizen so i'm not willing to go there and mr. brooks apparently is asking too much of us coming here asking us to keep mr. assmann against his will. but, hey, you know, we're the can-do department commission so what can i tell you?

okay. those opportunities we heard some of the results thankful yields which have been positive but not as positive as positive outcomes we had hoped or where under the impression off we need to be aware of the responsibility that we have for the students b that are off track at what level that off track is. so the president and vice president will discuss if there's a possibly to bring this discussion to have a truly you deep understanding of having ongoing dialog with the staff but also the public is aware of the number we're understanding and working with. later a presentation at the regular board meeting where it's televised and on the radio. the most important thing to know about the improvement quality spelling the last name system we'll be a reluctant waiver may first. with the other court district that's 3 and a half weeks from now i know our staff is working with the reluctant application. and lastly we had a followup presentation with the dr c with the san francisco unified school district and that comes from the march third curriculum meeting we asked specifically our power point talked about the type of academies and asked the curriculum department to do an analysis for the acknowledge how students are understanding what their learning from the program and could they on the content in another course or elsewhere. the committee is whether their imperial the alignment with the states standards and the analysis of the understanding, of course, for comment that there will take a while but understanding all our courses will be kindly into the process so by the time we come with the guidelines we'll be setting an example for the nation to follow. as i understand it although dr t c is in line everyone will get in line they're not singled out they only happen to be first. that concludes my report. and all the materials commissioners are in your mailbox and the next committee meeting is may fifth at the so you mean to e 6 o'clock in the board room >> seeing no other comments from commissioners. i want to report that the next meeting is a student assignment ad hoc will be on wednesday april 30th and we'll hear a report about the enrollment assignment process. thank you. yes. i want to report back on two opportunity i had to spread the ucsf gospel i participated in a meeting with the fed ration have teachers with susan solomon and matt and our district was being highlighted not only for the work around safe schools but so far the collaboration and the way in which our district and union and also with the community. so we are one of the few district to talk about what we're doing as an example for the unit representatives and district representatives who were there. it was an honor to be there and represent our district. the second thing i was at the national school board convention in new orleans and browns also got to talk about the work i presented our school food redesign perhaps from the revolution foods it was wonderful to be in new orleans and we got to talk about the work we're doing here so -

and help people said what they have to do and do it and raise finances so this program is an advocate and resource for the community. >> so why not skip to the theme. foremost and most to come we've been presenting community meetings and going face to face with community owners and helping people understand what to do >> you may be wanting to know about the sf green but this will allow you to have is a loan for the property so if you have the property the loan will be summoned by the new owner and this is pay back for your property taxes and the low rates this is a fantastic option. >> i'm in favor of the program obviously we're going to have a earthquake this is from an investment stewardship. >> after a few minutes with folks even if you don't agree you understand the concept. >> we've talked about being able to do this now we're going to be forced to do this it's a good thing but to pay for it. >> it's not only protecting their property but every dollar is for mitigation it truly is protecting our investment overall the city. >> it's the right thing to do. you can look at the soft story building and theirs like the buildings that collapsed in the earthquake and your shufrtdz to see this >> people are getting caught to get this done and if people can find a place in our homes of shelter it will keep people in their homes. >> together we'll work out of getting out of 0 disaster and making the community bringing back to what we love. >> as a level of folks we've talked about we make recommendations to make everyone mitigated their soft story problems no other jurisdiction has tried to tackle this ordinance and we're set to have our program complete by 20/20. >> the quality of the people are here because of the leadership. >> it's a great conversation statewide how to do this and i can only stress this enough if we didn't have the community of the san franciscans that are concerned people, you know, talking about our financing is options and our engineering requirement if you altercated all our work it's consensus driven to provide options we don't have one path but one relative for people to get there. >> it's been an excellent consumption of the services i think i'm going to need if i go through this yeah, i'm very
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 don't 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 every-day 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 >> welcome to "culturewire." today we are at recology. they are celebrate 20 years of one of the most incredibly unique artist residency programs. we are here to learn more from one of the resident artists. welcome to the show, deborah. tell us how this program began 20 years ago. >> the program began 20 years ago. our founder was an environmentalist and an activist and an artist in the 1970's. she started these street sweeping campaigns in the city. she started with kids. they had an exhibition at city hall. city officials heard about her efforts and they invited her to this facility. we thought it would coincide with our efforts to get folks to recycle, it is a great educational tool. since then, we have had 95 professional artists come through. >> how has the program changed over the years? how has the program -- what can the public has an artist engage with? >> for the most part, we worked with metal and wood, what you would expect from a program like ours. over the years, we tried to include artists and all types of mediums. conceptual artists, at installation, photographers, videographers. >> that has really expanded the program out. it is becoming so dynamic right now with your vision of interesting artists in gauging here. why would an artist when to come here? >> mainly, access to the materials. we also give them a lot of support. when they start, it is an empty studio. they go out to the public area and -- we call it the big store. they go out shopping, take the materials that, and get to work. it is kind of like a reprieve, so they can really focus on their body of work. >> when you are talking about recology, do you have the only sculpture garden at the top? >> it is based on work that was done many years ago in new york. it is the only kind of structured, artist program. weit is beautiful. a lot of the plants you see were pulled out of the garbage, and we use our compost to transplant them. the pathway is lined with rubble from the earthquake from the freeways we tour about 5000 people a year to our facility, adults and children. we talk about recycling and conservation. they can meet the artists. >> fantastic. let's go meet some of your current artists. here we are with lauren. can you tell us how long have been here so far and what you're working on? >> we started our residency on june 1, so we came into the studio then and spent most of the first couple weeks just digging around in the trash. i am continuing my body of work, kind of making these hand- embroidered objects from our day-to-day life. >> can you describe some of the things you have been making here? this is amazing. >> i think i started a lot of my work about the qualities of light is in the weight. i have been thinking a lot about things floating through the air. it is also very windy down here. there is a piece of sheet music up there that i have embroidered third. there is a pamphlet about hearing dea -- nearing death. this is a dead rabbit. this is what i am working on now. this is a greeting card that i found, making it embroidered. it is for a very special friend. >> while we were looking at this, i glanced down and this is amazing, and it is on top of a book, it is ridiculous and amazing. >> i am interested in the serendipity of these still life compositions. when he got to the garbage and to see the arrangement of objects that is completely spontaneous. it is probably one of the least thought of compositions. people are getting rid of this stuff. it holds no real value to them, because they're disposing of it. >> we're here in another recology studio with abel. what attracted you to apply for this special program? >> who would not want to come to the dump? but is the first question. for me, being in a situation that you're not comfortable in has always been the best. >> what materials were you immediately attracted to when you started and so what was available here? >> there are a lot of books. that is one of the thing that hits me the most. books are good for understanding, language, and art in general. also being a graphic designer, going straight to the magazines and seeing all this printed material being discarded has also been part of my work. of course, always wood or any kind of plastic form or anything like that. >> job mr. some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. -- taught me through some of the pieces you have made while you have been here. >> the first thing that attracted me to this was the printed surface. it was actually a poster. it was a silk screen watercolor, about 8 feet long. in terms of the flatwork, i work with a lot of cloddish. so being able to cut into it come at into it, removed parts, it is part of the process of negotiating the final form. >> how do you jump from the two dimensional work that you create to the three-dimensional? maybe going back from the 3f to 2d. >> everything is in the process of becoming. things are never said or settled. the sculptures are being made while i am doing the collages, and vice versa. it becomes a part of something else. there's always this figuring out of where things belong or where they could parapets something else. at the end goal is to possibly see one of these collage plans be built out and create a structure that reflects back into the flat work. >> thank you so much for allowing "culturewire" to visit this amazing facility and to learn more about the artists in residence program. is there anything you like our viewers to know? >> we have art exhibitions every four months, and a win by the public to come out. everybody is welcome to come out. we have food. sometimes we have gains and bands. it is great time. from june to september, we accept applications from bay area artists. we encouraged artists from all mediums to apply. we want as many artists from the bay area out here so they can have the same experience. >> how many artists to do your host here? >> 6 artist a year, and we receive about 108 applications. very competitive. >> but everyone should be encouraged to apply. thank you again for hosting us. >> thank you for including us in "culturewire." ♪ day. >> thank you for being here today to welcome air lingus to san francisco international airport i'm john martin the airport director i want to send a welcome to lingus to christofi mueller (clapping) joined by a number of digital tars including the mayor of san francisco mayor ed lee. mr. mayor (clapping) for san francisco and the city of cork the sister city has a relationship we're happy to welcome the deputy mayor laurie king stone raise your hand. and the cork chamber of commerce ceo conner healy. thank you (clapping) also present from the san francisco sister city committee the chairman during mat. thank you (clapping) and the business committee chair jim.
