Revegetated with natives. You get the idea that its going to be an exponentially more of an exponentially increasing function sooner rather than later. And finally, well end with some of the work that weve been doing on the ground currently with rubicon landscape. Theyre our master landscapers, as youre aware. We really over the last 2. 5 years have developed a Good Relationship with lourdes, their manager. They do do existing groundwork for us. Weve gotten them into a seasonal maintenance where they remove the invasive. They do work on kind of a regular management schedule. Peter and i also work with the citys i. P. M. Coordinator in making sure that rubicon stays in compliance with the i. P. M. Ordinance and implements that into their training opportunities. Over the last several years, they dont apply herbicide as part of their programs anymore. We felt that overall consistent with the citys i. P. M. Ordinance directives, which is to use application as a last resort, that was an environmental benefit. We were able to work with them on changing it and hopefully to the benefit of everyone on the island. And then finally, weve been working with them as i talked about earlier on the stewardship segment, a variety of demonstration gardens on y. B. I. I think were trying to get more participation from different segments of the community, but if theyre driving by them and learning from them, thats a good thing, as well. Just this last weekend, we had a removal party, removing the ivy from outside the Treasure Island gym and replacing them with natives. This is what they look like. We expect them to fill in and provide some nice environment there. This is one that we basically developed in a small little patch of otherwise unused land, sort of right outside the g. A. A. Field and the Treasure Island playground outside from araceli cafe. Theres some blooming daisy, some other ones, as well, that adds a little bit of curb appeal with y. B. I. Natives. And the one we did before the Treasure Island gardens last year was right outside the ship shape on sort of the Southern Side of the building. We worked with sherry and alex and cheryl at the ship shape to fill in this sort of southern walkway with y. B. I. Natives and thats coming along nicely, as well. I think at this point, i know that peter has a few things to add, and so ill toss it over to him, and then, well both take questions. Yeah. Peter, i did not know you were a naturalist. Every memo i get from you, fantastic. Nice presentation. Yeah. So jump in any time with questions. Peter brastaugh. Last week, i did kind of my full whirlwind presentation to the board, so its nice to dig in a little deeper. I think peter wanted me to cover just a few more things and highlight all of this work the way that this work on Treasure Island, yerba buena fits in in the context of the resolution that we passed last year. So peter has been coming pretty much religionly to our Interagency Working Group meetings around biodiversity for several years. Hes been a trafferrific collaborator at the city level and talk about all of the work that were doing citywide. And he did highlight one of the things that were working on in the Biodiversity Agency working group, one of the things that we highlighted in our presentation was it last week . Yeah, last week or two weeks ago was the supply of our native local plants. So lets bring yerba buena down to Treasure Island. So if we do that, weve got to figure out how were going to create that supply. So were going to focus on that problem and come up with solutions in the interagency group. And i think as it relates to Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, its a really exciting opportunity. So the site where the building is now, theres a buildout next to that diagonal building, its nice and large. Theyve got space there, but according to the Timeline Development and according to how the timeline proceeds, they may not be able to say there much more than a year. Its not totally clear. So wheres the next temporary location for that . And then, also, where can we think longterm in terms of this function and how do we arrange that mechanically and functionally and everything as peter alluded to . When you look at the ideas, the urban farm area, huge area, many acres, so we might want to think about that related to this function. Also just want to highlight the work that we did with writing that tenpage memo that was basically bob asked me to look at all of the documents related to sustainability and open space on Treasure Island, so i did, and we expected it last week as part of the packet, but it really, again, highlights if we want to have this sustainability vision, this vision of sustainable Treasure Island and increased resident sense of place, we need to use native plants to do this. So the whole idea of a nursery ties in really well with putting that product forward and encouraging all of our partners to use that as a guide book for landscaping in the environment. So finally sorry if im talking too long. Peter gave you a nice, thorough presentation, but i also wanted me to fill in a little on the two of the sort of o. N. M. Habitats. So one is the ongoing maintenance of all these places for the invasive plants. So letters from brown justices contractor from the developer to grow plants for eight acres. Weve got the nimitz that came online. The whole island, its a gigantic disturbance, which we love. Its a great opportunity because its a great opportunity to bring people to the island to get involved, but its a real challenge cthat we have to rise to. So just want toded to highligh that, that thats why were making the effort for that on a small scale right now, but that need is going to increase exponentially as all this new space comes online. Its revegetated, but its exploding exponentially. We talked about priorities in the near term where we want to do these projects, once you complete the individual projects, whether an acre or two acres, so for example, the slope of clippers cove, we want to restore all of that. Theres a lot of nonnative in there, but its a priority because of the connection to the cause way. Its a great opportunity to do that, and make it done right there, so yeah, ill stop. Okay. Peter. Very exciting. Commissioner shen, please . Thank you, both peters. You know, this has been an area that im very interested in is the increasing the biodiversity and the sustainable vision for Treasure Island. I think that is really one of the hallmarks at Treasure Island which actually was recognized and given awards at different levels. I think we even received the reed platinum for new areas. Remind me, peter, what that was. There was a reed designation that we got as a in our land for sustaining sustainability on the island. Reed n. D. In addition to the platinum, yeah. So reed n. D. And also, the fact that we got from the clinton Climate Change award, as well, for our original master plan. So i think these are part of the vision. The question is when we implement, how are we going to do it . And i would say that yes, that implementation and management is important for building the staff. The invasive plants, once they get a foothold, which is why its so important at the beginning once they get a foothold, then the effort and the manpower thats required rises exponentially, so you want to, its front end, as these new areas are being reconstructed, that we have the right people and the right effort involved in keeping these invasives out of Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island. And i agree that the nursery is a great idea especially if theres an interest of how native plants are so important to biodiversity. I think more people, not just us as the public entity, but also private citizens and residents are wanting to do more about planting native piece hes species in their garden so theres a whole biodiversity of life. A nursery makes sense because there is an increasing demand and theres not enough places that are propagating these types of plants, so i would really encourage us to look at that possibility on Treasure Island and what would it take . Well, currently, its under the oversight of l. E. J. And l. E. J. , could you legacy for environmental justice. But definitely, we should look into explore how we can keep the nursery on the island and expand it. Especially after a year we might lose that site, lets look at other possibilities. We do have an area that was meant for an urban farm, and i think this falls right into that category and so some of that space, that can be looked at. So i hope that we would look into that and come back with those possibilities. Absolutely. But looking at the soil, looking at the hydrology, how we do stormwater, runoff, all of that is part of the plan, and certainly integrated Pest Management once we actually have the parks and gardens in operations is so very important. But the soil is particularly important at this time because we are building, and if you dont have the right soil, the right soil mix, the composition of soil, youre never going to get plants to really thrive. So i think we need to work with the Landscape Architect i see somebody is here from c. M. G. To look into what are the specifications for that soil . You know, we have native soil on Yerba Buena Island. Treasure island is disturbed soil because it was fill that was brought in, but certainly, the experts on your team there should be an expert on your team whos looking at what type of soil is being brought in. Sometimes, its construction debris, and they just bring any old soil in, and thats not going to work for the 300 acres of parks and open space that were going to have. Lets make sure that we get the right type of material thats necessary there for this park to thrive. So these are a few of my comments, but i continue to be extremely interested in the topic. I think theres really incredible Educational Value here. We really can show what Treasure Island is doing here. We can collaborate with many institutions in our own stye. The academy of sciences, weve got a board member thats from the academy, the botanical gardens, the exploratorium. I know that i already have collaborations with the golden gate audubon society, and the Educational Value, not just for the city on the island, but its a region, and as a teaching model thats not just for the region but also perhaps nationally, as well, that we are on the cutting edge of this. So thank you, the two of you, and look forward to hearing more as we progress. Thank you. Thank you very much. And i want to just follow up on my fellow commissioner. Everything i mentioned earlier, and i think the commissioners also mentioned, what we are doing at Treasure Island is unlike anything else going on or where or why, and we really need to underscore that. Building a small city within a city, were taking all the problems, all these challenges, Lessons Learned from San Francisco development, and we know that San Francisco is one of the most iconic cities in the world. We have architects, engineers i just mentioned our Landscape Architect martin. We have people that are experienced for me, getting the opportunity to redevelop Treasure Island has come full circle. I worked on the San Francisco environmental sustainability plan. And one of the commissioners and i, we were talking about the sustainable Pest Management. The Treasure Island, as a matter of fact, is the only development that is only the sustainability plan. The late mayor lee actually reached out to all the region of the bay area to remind ourselves, why are we not extending Educational Opportunities to alameda, to all the other regions, to santa clara, to silicon valley. Let all these kids come out, this wonderful vedevelopment oa lifetime for them to see what we are doing here. With regards to the native plant, we need to challenge all of them, because yeah, we will be building a north street. In San Francisco, i remember peter, in your last presentation to the commission for Treasure Island, as you look around the bay area, we have all these native plants. Yeah, we could be a repository now. We have all the experts, and with all the enthusiasm of Peter Summerville and peter, the other peter, i see you guys are working i mean, all this stuff that we are getting from you all the time is less we convene. Less we convene, we interact more with the board of supervisors and everybody in the region. Why dont we convene and brainstorm how we can maximize all these great developments and everything that weve talked about here in order to have the maximum vision that the late mayor lee and including the new one, mayor london breed, can do this . So thats why were all excited about this development here is because when it is done, it will make people want to spend time on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island that they do in San Francisco or sausalito or anywhere in north america. So keep us posted. And well work with you to do whatever he need. Let me ask public comment, please, on this wonderful presentation. Do you have any ideas you want to relate to us . Okay. None for now. Thats fantastic. Thank you all for your wonderful work on this important project. Kate, the next thing on the agenda. Item 7, discussion of future agenda items for directors. Okay. We will reconvene and thank ahead. Thank you again for the presence of the museum, Treasure Island museum and all of you for sitting through these deliberations. Now you get a glimpse of what we are doing here. We take our jobs here very seriously, our developments. There is no questions we can rebuild the island because we have the professional expertise. But we also know that in order to have a point of destination, we need to look at the legacy and history and put all of those together and thats why all of you will continue to be our partners and much thank you for your presence here today. Meeting adjourned. Welcome to another episode of safety on today is episode well show you how 0 retroactive youre home lets go inside and take a look. Hi and patrick chief officer and director of earthquake for the city and county of San Francisco welcome to another episode of stay safe in our model home with matt well talk about plywood. Great thanks. Where are we we if you notice bare studs those are prone to failure in an earthquake we need to stabilize those they dont lean over and plywood is effective as long as you nail along every edge of the plywood for the framing well nail along the sides and top and on the bottom 0 immediately youll see a problem in a typical San Francisco construction because nothing to nail the bottom of the plywood weve got to wind block between the studs and well secure this to the mud sill with nails or surface screws something to nail the bottom of the plywood. I notice we have not bolted the foundation in the previous episode thorough goes through options with different products so, now we have the blocking well a xoich attach the plywood. The third thing well attach the floor framing of the house above so the top of the braced walls one to have a steel angle on top of this wall and types of to the top of the wall with nails into the top plate and the nails in this direction driving a nail it difficult unless you have a specialized tool so this makes that easy this is good, good for about 5 hundred pounds of earthquake swinging before and after that mount to the face of wall it secures the top of wall and nailed into the top plate of the with triple wall and this gives us a secure to resist the forces. So you now see the space is totally available to dots blocking that he bottom and bolted the foundation in corneas what the code in the next episode youll see you apply patrick. Welcome to another episode of stay safe i saw us prepare our crawl space on this episode well saw the sheer wall youll see the finished product hi, im patrick and welcome to another episode of stay safe . The second part were retrofitting the triple wall as you can see weve installed one of the sheer ply wall on the First Episode we provided blocking to secure the ply wed and bolted and provided the connection with the floor im joined by thor madison. Thor Structural Engineers and thor knows more about sheer walls than anybody ive met in my life. It provides the stable ability that would rock before and after during around earthquake the nails along the edge of the plywood will reduce the chance of the building falling down. What else should we consider in getting ready. One thing about plywood a natural material that absorbs moisture and the panels can swell depending on the moisture if they swell theyll bulk out it is important probation officer leave a gap between the panels so before we install the next panel well drive in a couple of nails used to as temporary spares. What are the nails. 16 penny singers a good saying that and we dont need to be concerned with the exact nail size only the gap the next panel will be held with the existing panel well pull those down. We have peter from the construction why not go outside and cut our second panel so, now weve got the plywood lets go ahead and get it put up see if we
