I would challenge both departments assertions about the tenyear capital plan. Between november 2018 and january 2019 major reinvestigations to the tenyear capital plan, based on directives from the mayor. Deputy chief San FranciscoFire Department retired. The civil grand jury has provided the City Government with an invaluable document, which if endorsed by the board of supervisors, will direct our various city agencies to expand the water supply system of High Pressure hydrants in a manner to protect the 15 neighborhoods, woodframe structures and 390,000 residents, who despite having paid the same tax rate as the rest of the city for years, have never had the same level of protection that their fellow citizens in the older neighborhoods have had. The two overriding messages that the civil grand jury has given us are, one, in order to avoid repeating the massive destruction by firestorms, that San Francisco suffered in 19 to 6, the awss must be expanded into every city neighborhood. Two, the time to do this is now. Because the opposing motions of the north american and pacific tectonic plates, which intersect 200 yards off the beach are not inhibited by the priorities of the Capital Planning committee, nor the Public Utilities commission, which apparently would be glad to continue to let this issue go unresolved on a citywide basis for many additional decades to come. Yes, it will be expensive. When you consider if half of the city is destroyed by firestorms, how expensive will that be in terms of lost tax revenue. [bell ringing] we seem to be able to find 1. 7 billion in counting to construct a subway tunnel from south of market to chinatown. And the president of the board, according to the examiner last week, suggested that we need to build more such subway tunnels. What goodwill the subway tunnels do if half the city is destroyed by fire. What goodwill any Civic Project do if we cant put out the fires. Thank you. Thank you. [bell ringing] nancy werfel. Clerk members of the click here public here for Public Comment, please line up. You do not need to wait for your name to be called in order to come up. Good morning. Im nancy werfell. First, i wish to offer my deep gratitude to the civil grand jury, who made comprehensively documented one of the three most dire needs to the future of San Francisco, with recommendations to mitigate this disaster. Fires following an earthquake, Sea Level Rise and Global Climate change are the natural events that endanger our city the most. The reports act before its too late, unquote, and says it best about the fire dangers that our city decision make railroads not preparing for. They need to make the extension of the independent auxiliary Water Systems citywide, with ak cities to unlimited, nonpotable water as the citys top priority, for action funding. The idea of limiting water stored in the city reservoirs does not recognize the 7. 8 magnitude earthquake will cause. Not to mention the loss of locally stored water for human uses, needed immediately after the seismic event. The idea of amending our unique Fire Protection with two separate pipelines, one with limited Domestic Water and one with unlimited seawater, illogical and ignores the Lessons Learned from the 1906 fires. Today this committee can vote to save the city by accepting all of the jurys recommendations without qualifications or you can perpetuate the status quo of ignoring the full dimension of the tragedy we face, which kicking the can down down the rs we allow our bureaucrat processes to put off making the moral and financial commitment required or to make commitments to be in competition with other lesserimportant needs. Please act to support the civil grand jurys report. Thank you. Supervisor mar thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning. My name is dick noaaton. The usgs haywire Network Scenario forecasted a 7. 0 earthquake on the hayward fault, with significant damage sweeping across the bay to San Francisco. The scenario indicates that there will be inadequate firefighting water. 30 years after loma, were still living on borrowed time and 15 nonawass system neighborhoods. Citywide expansion is critical now. I dont know. Heres a map showing in red the nonawass neighborhoods. We have to be aware also that if something occurs, the 100 probable fires, that awss neighborhoods will also be in jeopardy, because the Fire Department will be overwhelmed with resources. So awss citywide is the only way to correct this problem. The loma crater marina fire demonstrated the value of awss assets, which include modern terrain activities. [bell ringing] i encourage you to increase the firefighting system, that next year, the funds are available, the mayor had 522 million new dollars in her budget. So i urge you to do that. Pgh [bell dings] pgh thank you. Next speaker, please. Im a member of the c. A. C. Of the p. U. C. And im on the water committee. I am greatly concerned about this issue, as being knowledgeable of the results of earthquakes in 1906 and 1989 in San Francisco. This is the most pressing problem that we face, as a city. I would wholly endorse the comments that have already been made, but let me add that time is of the essence. You know, i look at this project and think that this is relatively small, compared to the water rebuild system that the p. U. C. Has pretty much completed at this point. That happened in roughly 17 years, at max. You know, the United States sent a man to the moon in ten years, upon the leadership of jack kennedy. Building this system doesnt cost that much. And it needs to be done. Politics needs to take a backseat to the technical needs of getting a comprehensive Fire Suppression system that uses nonpotable water from answer infinite source. Thats what the grand jury has essentially argued for. Bell dings and so thats why i urge you to support this Going Forward in that manner. Thank you. Supervisor mar thank you. Next speaker, please. I come here in support of the grand jury report. And of their findings. And their recommendations. What motivates me to come here today, yesterday morning, despite the best efforts of the station 15, two members of our community lost their lives in a fire on dellano avenue. Woodframe building, built in 1915, like so many woodframe buildings on the west side and southern sides of town, where theres a greater concentration of families and children. At present, we dont have a system that can handle the big one in those areas. I feel strongly that the city departments and the financing people need to focus on solving this question seriously. I thank the grand jury for their recommendations, for their effort and i thank mr. Dute and nancy werfell for having led so many people and explain this to them. Thank you. Mar thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning. My name is ellen lee chow. Im a resident in San Francisco for the last 33 year. I am a public employee. Around the former civic grand jury for two terms, 2014 and 2016. I am here to support item number 2 and item number 3. As you know, our citys budget is very high. The supervisors in here continue talking about building Homeless Navigation Centers through public money, that failed to allocate to help the people in item number 2 and 3. You and i know we have been told within the next 30 years, we will be facing a major earthquake. Which means the Fire Department needed every possible resources to protect all of the people in San Francisco. Not just to misuse and mismanage our puppet money, to attract nonsan franciscans to come to San Francisco. And also if we, the Fire Department, the staff, the public people, the Public Employees work so hard and try to protect the public money, im talking about the public resources. [bell dings] but board does not respond to the grand jury report, then you do not respect the people who spend 500 hours a year and put this report together, to protect the public through the Fire Department. And again my name is ellen. Thank you. Supervisor mar thank you. Next speaker, please. Regarding the presenters, how many pages of addendum and Supplemental Information do they anticipate adding to the back of the report on the documents . They state the department will be absent until 2021. It seems analysis may be being used to stall this civil safety projects development, rather than to further its development. 23 we are presently saving 700,000 gallons of water per day, due to pipe repair, why dont we aim to increase the rate beyond 1 of daily use by replacing the pipe, or those pipes most in need of continual repair. And seems like we have a budget that increases by 1 billion yearoveryear. I dont believe we need to issue a bond to complete the project. We simply need to properly apply the funds already collected. Any other members of the public that wish to speak on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I wanted to thank all of the neighborhood leaders and activists that spoke out at the hearing today and shared your perspectives on this really important issue. I know a number of you have really been champions of this issue and the need for the city to address the complete buildout of the auxiliary water supply system for many years. Thank you for all of your activism and really pushing us here in city hall to make this a higher priority. And thanks again to civil grand jury for your focus on this issue and youre really thoughtful and comprehensive report that you produced. It really is so helpful again in sort of pushing the discussion and pushing us here at city hall to address the, you know, this urgent issue. Which is literally a lifeordeath issue with hundreds of thousands of lives, you know, and billions of dollars of property really vulnerable. So, yeah. And supervisor brown, do you have any remarks . Supervisor brown well, i agree with supervisor and chair martha, yeah, we know something is going to happen in the future. We need to be prepared for it. And, you know, my district is, you know, looks pretty good. But when i look on the west side of the city, its something that we really have to concentrate on. I think the p. U. C. , the Fire Department, everyone knows that. And so i want to make sure we get it right. And if for me if it takes another year to make sure they come with a plan, make sure theyre talking to the community. And just making sure that they get it right, thats worth it. Because i think rushing a project, i have seen this happen before in the city, if you rush a project, if you dont get it right and youre not talking to the community, sometimes it just is wasted money. So i definitely feel that, you know, we should give them the time to get the project right. Supervisor mar thank you, supervisor brown. And actually again i just also wanted to thank the Mayors Office, the Public Utilities commission, the Fire Department and the Capital Planning committee for your work on this important issue. And also in developing the responses to this civil grand jury report. The departments responses are have already been presented and are part of the public record. We do have a resolution here that in committee today, that is the board of supervisors responses to the civil grand jury report, findings and recommendations. And that actually i have some amendments to the resolution. And its more just to ensure that you dont have a copy of it. Im going to verbally mention it. Its just to make sure were following the direction from the superior court and the clerk of the board on the proper language to use on the board responses. So for the in the resolution on page 4, in the resolve, part of the resolution that starts on line 4, page 16, were saying that we for finding number 4, finding 5, finding 6 and finding 11, the draft of the Resolution Says that we wholly agree with the findings, which i think we do. The instructions from the superior court and the clerks a office just said that we should state that we agree with the findings. So the amendment is to delete the word wholly. And then for the additionally clerk mr. Chair, you can just mention the motion that youre making to add the recommendations that you wish to have added. So, for instance, im hearing now you make a motion to recommend that findings f4, f5, f6 and f11 that the board of supervisors agree with the findings, as presented in the report, is that correct . Supervisor mar , yes, thats correct. And then for recommendation number 1 and recommendation number 2, i i would move that we amend to say the board of supervisors reports that recommendations number 1 and number 2 have not been implemented, but they will be implemented. Im sorry, we should take those separately because theres different dates. Recommendation number 1, it should state that the board that it has not recommendation number 1 has not been implemented, but will be implemented no later than december 31st, 2021. For recommendation number 2, it has not been implemented, but will be implemented by december 31st, 2021. Those were the only amendments. There are still responses for recommendations number r3, r4, r6, r7, and r8. They are blank on the resolution, as presented. Do you have proposed amendments to fill in those . Mar re. For recommendation number 3, that should say recommendation number 3 has not been implemented, but will be implemented. And supervisor gordon mar will a report no later than december 31st, 2019. And well direct the budget and legislative analyst to issue the completed report no later than december 31st, 2020. For recommendation number 4, the amendment says that it will not be implemented, because while funding for five host tender was allocated for fiscal year 2019 to 2020, both local and state level actions implementation of the recommendation in its entirety will depend on the appropriation actions of a future mayor and board of supervisors. And for recommendation number 6, it should state that it has not been implemented, but it will be implemented. And urge and the board urges the completion of a study for adding a saltwater pump station to be presented to the board of supervisors by no later than june 30th, 2021. For recommendation number 7, it has not been implemented, but it will be implemented and the board urges that a completed analysis be presented to the board of supervisors by no later than june 30th, 2020. For recommendation number 8, it has not been implemented, but it will be implemented and will analyze by june 30th, 2022, in coordination with the mayor, whether to propose a separate bond for the development of a High Pressure, multisource seismically safe water system for those parts of the city that dont currently have one, a target date of completing construction by no later than june 30th, 2034. So those are the amendments. So i supervisor brown, i dont know if you have any questions . Supervisor brown no. Supervisor mar i would like to make a motion to adopt the the resolution as amended to the full board. And we file the hearing on this item. Clerk mr. Chair, because some of these response types for the recommendations indicate that there may be need for future reanalysis or evaluation of the implementation of the recommendations, it is the recommendation that the hearing file remain open or appropriate motion will be to continue it to the call of the chair, so agendaized in the future in order for the board and the committee to review the updates. Supervisor mar thank you for that. Yeah, so again i would move that we adopt the amendments. We recommend the resolution, as amended, to the full board. And that we continue the hearing to the call of the chair, so that we can we can have followup on these items, you know, as theyre being as progress is being made and theyre completed. So if we can take that without objection. Great. Thank you, everyone, for being here for this. And ill and all of your work on this important issue. [gavel] mr. Clerk, please call items 4 and 5 together. Clerk thank you, mr. Chair. Agenda item number 4, a hearing on the 20182019 civil garage work entitled improving continuity review for increased accountability. The 20182019 San Francisco civil grand jury continuity report. Agenda item number 5, a draft resolution on the finding and recommendations in the report. Supervisor mar thank you. So for this item, actually, mr. Harvey, i dont know if you had youre good . Yeah. Id like to invite back mr. Harvey , the floor person for the jury to provide opening remarks. Thank you, chair mar. 20182019 civil grand jury. Just want to briefly introduce this agenda item. So this item is about improving continuity review for increase being public accountability. So the goal here is to strengthen the watchdog function of the civil grand jury, by having proper systems in place. So youll see the language of a database to monitor findings and recommendations across terms. Really we want to make sure that the civil grand jury is serving every san franciscan and make sure its effective across terms as well. With that said, i would like to call up nona, russell, who is the chair for this report. Chairman mar, members of the board of supervisors. My name is nona russell and im here to present the 20182019 San Francisco civil grand jury continuity report on improving review for increased public accountability. Now as you know, california state law requires that all 58 counties impanel a civil grand jury to serve during each fiscal year. The civil grand jury investigates and reports on one or mores aspects of the citys departments where a gro
