SFGTV Government Access Programming February 25, 2018

Familiararity with the sea wall and underscores the importance of public education. There are relatively few major differences within the San Francisco electors with the bond major beggist on par biggest on ballot line also. Republican was 57 . We still have almost two to one support which is impressive given the tip i typically skeptical view. Among the variety of improvements to be funded through the bond measure we asked the importance on the four point scale as extremely, very, somewhat, not too important. This is what they rated as take most urgent prioritied for investment from the measure. You will see a lot of it focus os protecting the city infrastructure, utilities, transportation from tim packet of an earthquake or disaster and ensuring the Emergency Services can operate in the event of disaster. The sea wall location could put those service this is jeopardy if it is not prepared to withstand the earthquake. One of the things in the focus groups esresidents put more on earthquake safety. They saw Sea Level Rise as predictable. Earthquake as something that can be sudden and very unpredictable. Now over the latter part of the saururae walked through the things that the supporters might say to say how the public of the campaign might impact the voters willingness to support. The impact was minimal. The explanation what it would do and arguements in favor raised support to 78 purse. Opposition down to 71. We were well over the twothirds that was required for approval. We also tested a range of potential arguments in favor of this measure. Vey with a full report on the survey buts available to you which will show the wording of the messages we tested. We have to respond to rate it very convince being,some somewhat convincing or not convincing. We rated on the dark blue bars. Abundance of messages. Strongest are threats. Sea level rise or earthquakes or age and deterioration of infra structure at the sea wall. I think these initial results are encouraging. The public recognizing the urgency of preparing for seismic risks and Sea Level Rise and the support of investment to strengthen the San Francisco sea wall. With that i think amber and i are happy to answer questions you all have. Thank you. Is there any Public Comment on this item . Everybody is talkative today. Commissioner katz. Thank you very much. It is exciting to see the out reach. We are starting and correct me if im wrong. We are starting with a high level of engagement and support, all things considered. From a right of perspective is good. I would be curious in terms of, and i know we have a lot of physical presentations and discussions, what we need to do to taylor the strategy to handle some of our probably newer residents, get their information through different sources, arent as involved in some of the fabric of the city from the standpoint of organizations and meetings and how we are tailoring our message and out reach and the polling. It is hard to reach people that no longer have landlines or communicate like we used to from a polling perspective. Talk about that and if there is anything to look at in those trends on the Community Engagement side, we have so many different channels or ways of reaching people. The Community Meetings that the port staff are going to present. Big festivals, sunday street to capture a thousand email addresses in one sunday. Smaller intercept activities where we are catching people at a library or on the way to the grocery store. We are trying to coordinate with Community Groups as well. Understanding that there are going to be a bunch of people t one time and maybe we could send outreach ambassadors, chinese speaking, we are doing our best for a wide reaching engagement effort to hook all people in at the various places where they might land. Does that help . A little bit. One of the things i see more and more effective to reach people engaged in the community is next door. I know public agencies cant post or access the neighborhoods, but it seems finding a spokesperson in each neighborhood on each next Door Community can keep their fellow neighbors appraised of what is going on. I am in the bay view. People are really good about posting activities that are comincoming up, events happenine so than in prior areas i have seen. That would be a very firm opportunity to figure out if you can get captains in each of the neighborhoods. Very innovative. Thank you. From the perspective of the polling commissioner. We did the survey online wireless and landlines phones. Half online and half on the phone. Only a quarter of the sample on landlines. 10 years ago that would be the only way to reach people. It reflects evolution in reaching out to conduct the interviews, particularly in San Francisco. The number of people we contact on wireless phones or online is much higher than most other communities for the reasons you dindicated. Going back in terms of out reach efforts, trying to get the viral marketing going. Are we creating. We have the physical swag and the virtual swag on pinterest, face back posts and instagram. I would love you sharing that with the networks as well. Help us go viral. Thank you. It is exciting to see the engagement and focus on the neighborhoods, not just on the waterfront but the whole city. This really affects all of us. Thank you very much. Thank you for your leadership. Commissioner woo ho. Thank you. I think this is a great result from the investment we have ma made. When we engaged you. I remember that contract discussion and i think that because this bond issue is so important and i think to understand how to position it correctly with the voters, i think this investment is extremely helpful and insightful to know what will resonate with voters. We have not idea what else we would compete with or when the bond issue would go up. I think we are going about it smartly and positioning it. I would say it is good work, keep going, figure out how to fine tune and refining it. What vote do we need in this case, 66 . 67 . This is critical to get us to that 67 number. I think we have to do a lot of homework here and i think this is a step in the right direction. I think that is tremendous to know we are making that progress, and we still what timeline do we have in terms when we think this would go . We are currently slated for november of 2018. Port staff will work with the city family to access Public Information and voter information up to the point at which the board of supervisors present the question in june. At that point that will be in Campaign Mode and be off we will do that as volunteers. I think one of the important pieces to acknowledge is that we are at the begin of multigenerational effort. In addition to talking about the earthquake safety and first phase introducing the citizens 250,000 of them, go amber, go team, to the sea wall and understanding that we have a project today and project into the future to address Sea Level Rise is critically pore because it is not just us that will be tackling this project. We are in the long game with this infrastructure. I couldnt agree more. We are trying to figure out how to get to 67 percent. That is goal one. The question would be what the e is the opposition going to say . How do we present the opposition wording . Formal or informal, in the voters mind. I just think that is something we have to tackle as well. Im not sure we know enough about it at this point. We have feedback from the out reach. When they are out at the sunday street event, people ask questions. We have created the port staff an internal saq document where we add the documents each day. For the most part i think the questions are the obvious ones. How much will it cost . What is the timeline. That is you expect for normal questions. Can we afford it . From the outreach experience i am sure in campaign it is another story. I wanted to add. The early feedback we are getting is very positive. It is quite conceivable a measure like this enjoys broad support across the city. There isnt an opposition. We are going to have to be very careful. We have had train from the City Attorneys Office training from the City Attorneys Office. It is not a matter to address. It will be addressed through a private campaign that does not involve the port in any official capacity. We will keep you uptodate about how the outreach goes. Obviously, we are taking notes about the feedback in the meetings and will share the concerns we hear from the public with you along the way. I would add that what we are learning through the outreach are things to help us deliver a better project. Some of the questions are on cost, definition of project. What are we doing in the first phase . Everyone is eager to answer that question. We have Detailed Engineering work to do to answer that question. What about the southern waterfront and the rest of the city Sea Level Rise leaking for context in the city lan. We are documenting the questions and it is helping us at the port perform a better project and address the larger issues as well. I think we have seen Media Coverage which is helpful. It is for discussing this. This has got to be a separate strategy we are focusing on cultivating the media strategy when you have those discussions so the media are fully aware of continuing coverage. The november election will be interesting in terms of what is happening in the politics of the city. I guess we are assuming we will probably have good voter turnout. Yes, i think so. I think november tends to be a high turnout ballot. Them it is the 67 which is the goal. Thank you. Commissioner adams. I enjoyed the discussion and the comments. There is always opposition. The cute flies kites fly esagainst the wind. We have a president that says Sea Level Rise is fake news. You are right. In this city we think about earthquakes, we think about the homeless problem that is what we talk about in the city. The commissioner woo ho just hit on something. Has any of our politicians. Mayor lee was out front. He had the banner high in the air. Good, ed, go. He was going. I am sure mayor farrell is doing that. Is any of the politicians running for office in the city, is this on their platform . Are they coming out strong and bold saying this is something . When you are a leader you need to be publicly stated what is on your platform. What you are for and against, is my personal opinion. Secondly, i was going to say to get out to all communities. In the city with the average age of 27 years old. My union when we were in a west coast like lockout years ago and the media came down. We did radio ads, commercials and like the giants. They fell out almost every game. Is that a place where they would be willing to Say Something like that . Look at the young people that go and the way the Younger Generation communicates is different. They dont look at flyers. That is not how they move or roll. How you gain excitement or is this a mellow subdued campaign or something that you raise it as you go along . It is good to reach to the Business Community and the high schools. The warriors are moving back over here, i am wondering would the athletes be willing to do a commercial. When i lived in seattle. Some of my friends played for the seahawks. They would say people never ask me to do anything. There are people willing to do something for the community. Just ask them would they be willing to do something . Would buster be willing to do something on tv . He is in commercials all the time. What about steph curry. This is what is good not only for San Francisco but the whole region. In sa San Francisco we lead the nation. We dont worry about washington. As i say if you are running for office, what is on your platform . Where are you at . There is a guy like tom tire out there, would he be willing to make commercials. He wants to impeach the president. Can we get a sea wall built in San Francisco that might be easier. I am throwing that out here. We have a lot to talk about. It is all good. Thank you. I hope you think about different things. It is something to think about. Sometimes you put on your political thermometer to find out where people are at. They have to step up. Thank you for the great ideas. Amber, rosie, dwayne and dave. Thank you so much for the presentation. You guys have just in the short few months since you received the contract, i have seen you at several events and you are doing a great job at community outreach. I love the creative collateral that you have. It is for kids and adults. Everyone is engaged and involved. I think commissioner adams has a good note to focus on the Younger Voters somehow now that San Francisco has so many young people, which is a good thing. According to the statistics, older people left us. We have to get it out to the young people to make sure they are aware. Maybe we can get Mark Zuckerberg to do a commercial. No, this is great. You guys have done a wonderful job, your efforts are wonderful. I wish that it was in june instead of november with such good numbers. Give us some time. Thank you very much. We really appreciate it.

This looks like one of those infrastructure maintenance projects. Is that true, tom . Thank you for asking. I am going to have rod answer that. This project is in support of the piers 80 to 94 eco industrial project, i think. Well, it is meant to establish a platform for development on these lands. David has been helping out quite a bit. He is more suited t to talk abot this. David with planning environment this. Is the Capital Project we have been working on for a number of years to improve approximately 20acres of the back lands. As ken indicated new road way. Landscaping to allow interim leasing of the back lands for the areas unimproved. It is a Capital Project. This is just for the infrastructure to make it available . Right take the piles of concrete we have, spread them around, create a roadway so each parcel is accessible and work with the Real Estate Group to begin to lease the property up and generate revenue from the site. What would be potentially the uses . The uses is primarily construction lay down, storage, parking types of uses. There is no structures being constructed as part of this. It is essentially a leveling of ask surface, spreading out the aggregate material, creating a roadway so the sites are accessible and creating a cap over a regulated landfill portion of the site. Thank you. Commissioner adams. Any questions . Okay. All in favor. No, it is informational. Thank you. It is informational. Thank you, ken for the presentation. We look forward to you coming back at the next meeting. Thank you, david.
