Added to the parks analyzed for fire risked due to the large number of eucalyptus trees. I would urge the board to look at shortterm Solutions Beyond hose tenders and currently only north basin has been retrofitted and that would be an if south basin ruptures, that would be a loss of Drinking Water to the city. I would urge beyond house hoe tenders, i would urge others well. This includes the replacement of water is sewer lines, thank you. Next speaker. Hello, supervisors. Im albert chow. Im the president of people parkside sunset on taravel street. Since 1906 earthquake and the rebirth of San Francisco, our forefathers thought it was to build a firefighting system, not in case but when. Our city has expandedded to south didnt west and the awss has not kept pace with the growth. Were not projected to be a city of 1. 5 million in the year 200 whic2050. We need more schools, s and open spaces. The fact that we have grown does not mean that the big one is going to ignore us. I own a harbour store on taravel street. There was a big fire and my entire supply of dusk masks were sold out in three years. As a result of that, i keep about 1,000 masks on hand in my store. The new reality this year is that pg e is shutting off power grids and because it was the lesser of two evils. Either shut down the power grid or let the forest fires conflagerate. Im preparing and doing my small part. You would like to see the city do their part. Thank you. Im the president of the Pine Lake Park neighborhood, representing stern grove and Pine Lake Park on the west side. As mentioned in 1908, there was a response to the single worse fire in u. S. History and the people of San Francisco voted to construct a High Pressure auxillary water system to ensure the city never burned again. It was operational within five years. However, at that time, much of San Francisco as we know today was undeveloped. Carcarl nolte wrote that in thoe days the city was compromised of only the northeastern section of San Francisco and there was a county which was everything else. In the last 100 years, although its populated with established neighborhoods, the county still does not have a High Pressure water system for firefighting. And as a result, its a very dangerous place today. For example, earlier this year, there was a gas main fire at parker and gerry in the richmond district. This fire, taking hours to extinguish, required host lines to be connect the to low hydrants blocks away. Every street in San Francisco has a gas main, just like the one on gerry boulevard and every house has a gas connection. In the next big earthquake that we all know is coming, it is estimated that it could be as many as 20 simultaneous fires in unprotected areas. Each fire requiring multiple units to fight it and only a handful of 18 trucks are in use today. This would not be adequate to deal with the inch of that magnitude. Therefore, our urgent need is to equipment the San FranciscoFire Department with host tenders to deliver water to the south side of the districts and longterm need. Im joe lighthiser, a resident of district 11, one of the districts that need this. I was on the survey Advisory Committee under senator Diane Feinstein and chairman of the earthquake preparedness project looking at mutual aid projects for the ninecounty bay area. So letmy giv let me give you soy lesson looking longer terms. The pacific plate is moving that way, were staying here. Its going to move two inches or so a year for millions of years and, in fact, there will be a suburb of los angelos in 50 million years. But you dont have to worry about that. The 72 likelihood of an earthquake in the next 30 years that supervisor marr mentioned is going to be quibbled about, maybe, a little bit, but the earthquake will eventually happen. That said in the sense of gloom and doom and i think, really, the sense you should take and i think you are taking it in as a call to action. Earthquakes are not really damaging until you build something over your head to fall down on you. If youre in the mul middle of n open field, you get up and go about your business. Structural code takes care of that. Fire suppression is another matter and one that has not found its way into all parts of the city and this aims to fix. So just let me conclude by saying fire following an earthquake, losses in San Francisco and a large earthquake can run into tens of billions of dollars. Thank you, next speaker. Im allen long speaks as an individual to share my hat as a national guardsman. During the last three years, theres been a number of fireses ifiresin california that has std cities like santa rosa causing a number of lives and homes. Last week my soldiers and i are activated to the kincaide fires. We have made enormous sacrifice. Some have had to Cancel School and job opportunities. During the last few years, guardsmen have seen destruction and entire cities burn to the ground. Imagine walking through a city burnt to ash with warped and melted cars and a dark sky b blotting out the sun. We must be ready. Thats why this legislation is of paramount importance to me and all of the neighborhoods protected by the emws. We must protect all of our city. Thank you. Next speaker. Supervisors, commissioners, im david hooper and i serve as the president of the new Mission TerraceImprovement Association and Mission Terrace is the one portion of district 11 that is protected by the High Pressure efws system. The other neighborhoods, the ocean view are not. The only reason were here today is because the civil grand jury took the bull by the horns. We wouldnt be here if they hadnt decided to raise their hands and say that the issue needs to be addressed. At present, our system is inadequate. Everybody agrees to that. Were talking about host tenders because we dont have a system adequate now. What we have in districts 1, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11 is fuel that people live in. So today, were here at this commission to hear a presentation by the puc and the Fire Department about how theyll address the issue by the year 2034. And its really not enough. And if we talk about how were going to fight it with water to raise the temperatures to bring the temperature employee tempere making about Golden Gate Park being fuel. If we try to figure out where were going to get the water from and if the water system for the efws is so much better than it needs to be extended sooner than 2034. And an in effort to do this, the source of water that is most apparent is the Pacific Ocean and the bay. Thats limitless. We might lose a few fish trying to take care of this and we have to have fish experts to advice us but thats better than losing thousands of homes. Thank you. Thank you. Are there any other members of the public who want to speak on this item before i close Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Supervisor marr . Thank you. Actually, i wanted to thank all Community Members that spoke out today during Public Comment. please stand by . Of course, if money were not an object and we werent having a discussion about taxing people s homes, we would certainly make the bond a lot bigger, but the idea of having 154 milliondollar bond for 2020 in the spring is a good first step. I know a good portion of the city will be targeted in that bond. I want to say that on the record i think that what i would like to see is the second phase of that to target some of the areas that arent necessarily targeted in the first round and for that to be accelerated and have that conversation accelerated. Having hundred 54 million for the spring of 2020, to make a good first step to continue to add Emergency Water systems and targeting the areas that have absolutely zero coverage is the first step. I appreciate those who have put the time and effort into having that conversation. Thank you. Supervisor walton . Thank you. I want to thank supervisor mark for bringing supervisor mar for bringing the alternate supply system to my attention a while ago when we first got elected and where the inequities existed across the city. I want to be added as a cosponsor and i want to thank the San FranciscoFire Department, sfpuc, and all our Emergency Responders for sitting down with my office and sitting down with us and talking through what things will look like in the future and what is on the way, and how important this is that we move on this. So you are correct that 15 years is a long time, but it is under our radar now and we are going to be working and pushing to make sure our city is safe so that when we have a disaster we can adequately respond. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor walton. Thank you supervisor mar for bringing this resolution to us and to all the folks that came out. There is clearly a need, particularly in a growing city, where we are adding density in areas that have not had density before or as much density before , to make sure that we can can can contend with all the challenges that will be coming with that. One of the speakers said that we figured out how to handle the seawall and the potential infrastructure challenges on the eastern side of the city and i think thats pretty much not true, but, you know, looking forward over the next decades, we will have extraordinary infrastructure challenges everywhere in the city, but i want to thank you, supervisor mar. I will make a motion to forward this to the full board with a positive recommendation. We can take that without objection. Great. Mr. Clerk, please call the next item. Number six is an ordinance amending the health code by amending the sugar sweetened beverage morning ordinance and revise the definition of advertiser, reduce the required warning size, modified their warning text and revise the enforcement provisions. Supervisor walton . Thank you. I just want to Say Something about item six before we move forward. This ordinance will require advertisements for sugar sweetened beverages to contain a warning level label and telling information and Health Effects of these beverages. The ordinance was originally introduced by supervisor scott weiner in you know and unanimously passed by the board of supervisors in 2015. Since that time, a lawsuit was brought against the city and county of San Francisco on this ordinance in the ninth circuit and to the ninth circuit ruled against the city holding the ordinance from taking effect we have reintroduced an amended version of the 2015 ordinance. Legal battle or not, we will not stop fighting for the health and safety of our community. There have been countless studies connecting these beverages to weight gain, obesity, type two but diabetes, and tooth decay. These are large Beverage Companies that are often specifically targeting and advertising to communities of color, creating Health Disparities across our city. We know that warning labels are an effective way of providing ever community with information like this. They deserve to be informed before deciding to consume one of these beverages and we owe it to our communities to provide them that transparency. This ordinance is Community Driven and Community Focused and because of that, our office is committed to gathering input from everyone. A number of Community Members have been in touch with our office. Recently on ways this ordinance can be as effective as impulsive as possible and improved. For that reason, i will be moving to continue this item to the call of the chair so we can hear from everyone in our community before moving forward on this incredibly important piece of legislation. Thank you for the time, chair madelyn. Thank you. Lets open this up for Public Comment. I have a few members of the public who have indicated they are interested in speaking. If there any other members of the public want to speak, line up on your right, our left. Hello. Good afternoon, supervisors. I am here representing the American Heart Association as their Community Advocacy directive. We want to say thank you to supervisor walton and other supervisors for supporting this very important piece of policy. We do know the effectiveness of Consumer Education and believe the public have a right to know the risk of these beverages. It is proven by science at this point. The aj is available as a Technical Assistance provider. We do have a lot of expertise in this area and my colleague worked on the state level bill back when that was going on a few years ago, and was first on this issue and able to provide support. Thank you for continuing to be open with conversation and we want the most effective policy pause possible. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is john and im the past president of the San Francisco medical society in here on behalf of our organization to speak in support of the concept of a warning label. In 2014, a ucsf medical student first proposed the idea of a sugary drink warning label as part of the California Medical Association contest. He won first place for this novel innovation to address the twin epidemics of obesity and type two diabetes. It served as the inspiration to supervisor then supervisor weiner and senator bill morning s efforts to champion this forward. The medical society endorsed senator weiners legislation when he was a supervisor and i have a letter from our president in support of the current conceptualization. This really highlights the importance of raising awareness. I would draw to your attention a recent paper in internal medicine which highlighted which after the Medical Center had restricted sugary drinks sales, they followed 214 employees were about 10 months and they showed a decrease consumption, decrease waistlines, and a decreased insulin resistance that resulted we would like to thank supervisor walton and supervisor brown for their leadership in championing this effort. We would like to be available as this is discussed further. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Quite a number of years ago, the economic agreement with brazil was made with the intention that the latter would increase Sugarcane Production for the ethanol market. If you visit brazil today, you will notice a huge volume of soda dominating Grocery Store floorspace and a middleaged population that is experiencing record rates of obesity and diabetes. While here in the united states, with a population of 330 million , there is an estimated 37 million individuals with kidney disease, greater than a tenth of the population. And hundreds of billions of dollars are expended annually on directly related healthcare costs for this very reason. President trump signed an executive order last july to say more individuals might receive hemodialysis at home. And so that the government can better regulate actors in the organ transplant industry in the hope of doubling the annual reno translate renal translate renal transplant rate to prospective transplant patients. Sugarcane is actually a species of gigantic grass, so i dont know how much of this grass someone would have to consume in order to become obese. Probably more than is humanly possible if it werent refined and reduced into a pure chemical state. I believe that soda is in a category of its own when it comes to the production of fatty tissue in the body and i encourage you to tax it accordingly or to increase existing tax on sweetened beverages, particularly if you cannot compile a printed warning thank you. Are there any other members of the public would like to speak before i close Public Comment . Seeing then, Public Comment is now closed. Supervisor walton, your desire is to leave this to the call of the chair. Correct. So moved. We can take that without objection. Great. Thank you. Mr. Clerk, please call the next item. Agenda item number seven is the hearing on the 2019 budget and legislative Analyst Report on short conservatorship his and requesting the department of Public Health and the office of the public and servitor to report. Great. Thank you. We are having this hearing on our conservatorship analysis prepared by the budget and legislative analyst back in july time flies when you are having fun. We have spent a great deal of time over the last year or two talking about conservatorship in the city, but it has been mostly or much of that conversation has been in the context of s. B. 1045 and s. B. 40. And although i believe that those that that legislation was important at the state level under decision to opt into it locally was important, that is, of course, even at its maximum capacity, a program that is going to affect a handful of people at a small proportion of the folks who are participating in Conservatorship Programs overall. Of course, lettermanpetrus sure it has been the law of lan
