Requests Granted
From: Supervisor Alioto-Pier
To: City Attorney
Requesting/Inquiring: To prepare an ordinance requiring all public places, offices, and commercial establishments to secure all appurtenances over 42" height; Drawers and doors of lockers, cabinets and other furnishings or equipment must be adequately secured against opening during an earthquake and spilling contents; All major appliances in work places must be secured to the floor and/or wall to prevent falling over during an earthquake, i.e. boilers, furnaces, water heaters, refrigerators. Anything that would obstruct safe exit from the building should be secured. This would apply to all public places, schools, offices, and commercial establishments.
From: Supervisor Ammiano
To: Director, Department of Public Works
Requesting/Inquiring: The City recently conducted an audit concerning the amount and geographical distribution of trash on our streets. It is evident that the Mission has a disproportionately high number of streets with names appearing in this audit. I appreciate very much that the Director made a point of stopping by my office to discuss the audit's findings, and I look forward to working with him on the DPW's proposed solutions to addressing litter abatement going forward. In the meantime, I would like to know what strategies to this end are currently being pondered by the administration. Additionally, my office has received upwards of 100 phone calls decrying the removal of garbage cans from areas where they are sorely needed. Does the DPW continue to believe that less trash receptacles will lead to litter on the street?
