In a recent meeting of the San Francisco City Commission, discussions centered around scheduling and preparedness for upcoming events, particularly the APEC conference. The commissioners addressed the potential need to cancel the meeting on November 15 due to the conference, emphasizing the importance of having key personnel available for any necessary decisions. While no cancellation was confirmed, the possibility was acknowledged, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the event.
Additionally, the meeting included a recommendation from a director for commissioners to download the MyShake app, which provides earthquake alerts. This suggestion came in light of a recent 4.1 magnitude earthquake near Rio Vista, demonstrating the app's effectiveness in real-time notifications.
The commissioners also reviewed and approved the minutes from their previous meeting held on September 20, 2023, with no public comments or objections raised. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was unanimously supported by the commissioners.
Overall, the discussions reflect the commission's proactive approach to managing scheduling conflicts and ensuring public safety through preparedness measures. As the APEC conference approaches, the commission will continue to assess its impact on future meetings and community engagement.
