To move around easily im sorry, go ahead. That project is putting in two brand New Buildings residential buildings and be a lot of new residents so the idea to have a plaza out front for people coming and going that looks nice but narrows the street and you okay . Yes, i am my chair went to the side thank you continue please. So it narrows the street which again they were proposing a contra flow lane to the narrow end was not a concern, however, well opposed the contra flow lane and seeing a new proposal in august 11th or somewhere well imagine it will have widening of oak street we can still go down oak street. Things are looking positive and planning and mta we voiced our concerns within an agreement theyre taking the project back to the developer to redo the front of that. Okay. So we have speed bumps, speed humps and speed cushions. I think im ready for the pop quiz. The bumps and humps are the same thing as far as im concerned, well have to stop roll over the front axil and over the back axil and go on clearly clearly slows down if we hit it at full speeds well break something our rigs are too heavy so the speed cushions have the cut outs we are okay with those weve had i think a list of 15 of them that chief gonzales had everyone test and not one negative feedback there is a couple of humps throughout the city and that make us literally stop when responding. The speed humps do we ask mta to get those out for speed cushions. Weve asked i dont know wherewith are on the progress. Could you please keep us informed. All right. Thank you very much again for your presentation. Thank you your next next item, please madam secretary. No okay all right. Thank you. Commissioner Vice President cleaveland you had other comments. inaudible . Thanks again chief lombardi for your report you mentioned the streets where you had take a lane of traffic like valencia Second Street theyre planning to do that. Correct. Whether you talk to the sfmta and the fact that we are criticizing the Response Times and that you kind of stuff if they know by taking out a lane their compromising the ability to quickly arrive at the fire or emergency. I make that known every time it is tough 3 agencies that are go obviously competing and all good in their own right but yeah. I mean. So much space generally speaking and valencia street it okay for responding when they did that if you cut across the city they didnt put in any permanent barriers cars would get out of the way but the hard escape barriers a car will not that pull up on the sidewalk but a hard bare if you took out a lane of traffic and put in bike lanes everyday traffic will be slow but people can go into the bike lanes. Okay. So so you have a conversation when necessary discussed about taking out lanes. And everyone of the conversations our Response Time definitely comes up autopsy thats very good where are we the natural firebreaks are not put into San Francisco in thats concerning. Our better streets plan, which was passed a few years ago by the board calls for narrower streets and. No wide streets anywhere. There is wide streets but just not as many as weve had and not as wide i dont know im going off the top of my head but shocked a street as wide and van ness in any of the neighborhoods i dont think that exists is may. How wide for a street to qualify as a break. Factors how tall are the t buildings and how close together are the buildings it is a varying factor but just naturally if you get a big thing in the wide fires were fighting now they let the fire burden until a bulldozer and create their own break sometimes the fires have too big you have to let them burn themselves out. You are in the best position to recommend where the firebreaks are but in the new developments he mean ill put it on the table so thank you. Sure. Thank you commissioner Vice President cleaveland. Commissioner hardeman. Thank you, madam chair id like to followup questions chief i know you tried to go through as fast as you could but the followup is good getting more information but i went back and found a question i knew there was something i noticed on the 26 percent maximum grades so im not sure that all drivers know where an additional route how many 26 percent grades would there be in the city. You mean grades or with the streets as it says street grades maximum 26 percent is that you could climb a hill that was and thats actually high what page. On the equipment california registration code like the 40th page street grades im curious what that meant. So we have certain i cant off the top of my head two issues with grade for us one is at a certain grade we cant operate our aerial ladder thats 14 percentage above 14 percent it put us at a bad angle and a grade how steep they can have the streets actually do you know first hand i think 6 might be max and this becomes a cliff and two steep to issues for us operationally one with our aerial ladder we could use it but driving the streets becomes two steep thank you. So that would be. Yeah. So street grades 26 maximum and departure that is right here i dont see it so the aerial truck is 14 percent and streets more than 14 percent we cant use our aerial truck and approach youll see a tabletop that flattens that cant be more than 15 percent on off the tabletop and the actual street not more than 26 percent and if you think of the steepest streets in San Francisco in elizabeth in naomi kelly and dartmouth it is pretty steep steep hills probably 23 percent that i know of no street over 26 percent and that is like like i said a cliff on the design that gets pretty steep so those were dealing with this right now in another project i didnt put on the slide show i didnt want to be here and take up all the time but redoing the potrero hill with the projects on potrero hill there is a whole project their redoing all of that thats a very steep hill and were dealing with all the approach and departure angles probably a good 10 block project 10 whole blocks but every single were dealing with the aerial and the approach and departure and the max street grades when you know you have a city with heels youre dealing with adams angles. Thank you commissioner hardeman so some the problems that exist on sections of golf street ive seen some trucks along how trucks get stuck. When theyre going over the cap those are things operationally we deal with so. The mention you made of the in any development on castro where is that. Right now with the developer it is a unique project the city owns the project bring in private developers and doing that there and also where the sunnydale. Thats part of hope sf so their simultaneously going off and met with the developers and there is some question because was what project built not from the same developers but in Hunters Point and like the templates worked on paper now muni buses are hitting when they go up the hill and on paper it should have worked i relied this to the developers and theyre saying okay. They come out with all little templates and heres the rigs and nothing should hit we agreed to the phase one and said okay everything looks good well approve it it works on paper you cant cone test this theyre cutting into the side of the hill we dont know until its built but approval to the first section two intersection and should work well run the rigs to that if it didnt work we have in writing theyll alter the rest of the project but hopefully work and meets all the things in the chart you see all the numbers. Right instead of a test kitchen a test road. Just a. Truly it is so all the ingredients will be there and all very nice when it is done the 26 foot width that commissioner Vice President cleaveland brought up. Yes. How do we go about putting that into the regulations. So working collaboratively with dpw their in charge the subdivisions have a subdivisions weve meet with them and got that worked with planning on new immunizatio subdivisionss and if theres a building turn around 40 feet the Fire Department will needed 26 assess at that spot if below then 20 foot rows. Part of new dpw regulations yes. I thought that commissioner Vice President cleaveland was referring to say that all in any streets would be 26 feet is that what you were suggesting. He was suggesting which like again competing interests wider sidewalks i dont know if anyone will argue wider streets easier to turn and clearing easier operational but a give and take. Well approach that a little bit later. Thank you again. All right. Anyone else commissioners no more followup questions okay. Thank you madam secretary item 5 update on are recent discussions regarding station 49 with the h 235 clarifications. Thank you. I will hand this off to the acting chief chief gonzales. Thank you commissioner president covington so the h 23 in the 18 we met i he feels there entirely with users commissioner Vice President cleaveland and wanting oconnor and as well as the chief and the members if the Ems Association informal agreements we agreed on the wablg as well as how many years the applicants have to have in the Fire Department substantially the next day we met again with dhr representative steven 798 attorney and the association again and ac myers and yourselves and agreed to those two items what we came up with we have to ill say modify the classification chief meyers they compressed and some things adam that maybe not should have been adam and hopefully get that document modified this week and agreed on by both parties the city and 798 and move forward with this.

Thank you. The budget mark corso did a good job and everyone else terrific thanks it is wonderful but the most important thing the fire boat so yesterday morning it came in and was able to welcome it in the Golden Gate Bridge cut have not fog and in the headlines some of us were in the Francis Scott key what a beauty oh, that thing what a wonderful ship she is and taking a tour on her it is so fun all those years when i came on the commission almost 6 years ago were getting a new fire boat 6 years later laughter . So things move slowly that brings me to 1909 San Francisco had two status quo boats built for one and 2920 feet long and david funny we named the ship she after men that is interesting but anyway, those are the new names of the fire boat but ill propose that is time we get started in another fire bootat in the mid 60s the two fire boats built in 1909 made it for 45 years extremely well built ships and their the state of the art and for those to be worn out and sold for a scrape in 1954 with the modern technology with those to phoenix and the guardian in their middle 60s one is more capable of going on for a couple of years but the other one worn down the goal of the folks that work at the fire boat engine 35 and pier 33 and a half they would to rotate a boat in and out to dry docks leaving us with two roadway there is two the guardian is in dry dock so there is space for two ships two boats but i think we should get on the ball with that and immediately start looking at propose to commissioners we immediately look at our next fire boat we dont want to run into a situation were building a new city and Treasure Island eastern part of City Mission Bay and the new arena for warriors we need another fire boat so ill proposing that that be put on the agenda twooeshg of this one in now according to the folks that will be taking her out a few things to be tweaked in the next 6 months and found out if any modifications that needs to be made for the next fire booty think that to me is top agenda another fire boat to protect our city we need them ill hope that the commissioners agree with that. So thank you, chief that was a great day appreciate you offered the commissioners to go out that was kind of you thank you. Thank you, commissioner.

Roughly half with an place and another place. When is this class that is currently being trained when is the graduation. November 4th friday november 4th. That will have reardon. Thats a good location we have to check the switzerland switzerlacheduling and schedule next class on november 7th but due to changes it will be later on during the month of november looking at the holidays that fall during that most were taking into consideration and have not an exact date. Same thing for the next emt class as the. The next emt class so according to the chief were looking at those dates and dates into the holidays we dont dr. An exact date i should have that next time. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you commissioner Vice President cleaveland and commissioner nakajo. Thank you, very much. Madam president i thank you very much for your comprehensive report chief williams the Vice President asked a couple of any questions in terms of the graduation dates of the present class 120 and the projected start of class one 21 in november with the consideration of the holidays and such i want to ask that question maybe ill refer to the chief but i concern myself with the pressures and the hard work of the Training Officers if you will perhaps talk about the ratio and schimz may i have chief come up also i know that there is an agreement in terms of challenges with the class of one 21 will be the same members of 54. Yes. Good evening chief gonzales and im chief were looking at the same number 54 22 on the list and the remaining from the 46d when we looked at the schedule a few things the holidays to make sure we gave your staff enough change to be ready for the 21st class those are look at it and chief williams and mark corso we should have that date to make sure we go forward. I appreciate that as well there is so much pressure within the Training Officer to have physical health and intersection with the family members apa all the factors with the holidays i know that we gratefully have been on a challenge with the numbers of classes that weve had so this fiscal year excuse me calendar year of 2017 did next class will be around november tfa may i ask the class of 22 the following year of 2017 is it still mr. Corso needs to be involved a rash of two classes or other issues. Were pretty in fact, were pretty much through 2017 set to go nonstop through the end of 2018 with the hiring with really no more than two or three weeks between each class. To interpret that to the commissioners and the statement does that mean 2 classes of 2017 or 3 classes. I believe 2 classes per yeah two classes per year. Two classes per year to 2018 that is four classes in the books to occur. Yes and when it was originally charged for two classes the commission remembers we were at 12 weeks now 20 weeks. I appreciate that as well as the team for ac gods man and is commissioners in terms of modifying the calendar in the length of time for a comprehensive nature of the training tide into the state reminded as well as our own curriculum just want to ask the question after 2018 what happens. I think after 2018 it will be determined if there are the number we need and if any additional classes as far as the division of training were committed to the curriculum and the state fracture curriculum for not just the class but to the instructors and will see that i think mr. Corso might add something if i may mr. Corso. Good evening mark corso just to clarify we have working closely with the Mayors Office a Public Safety plan through 2020 i believe so up through 2018 we were looking two classes per year and then with the addition of the federal grant to add another one with the extension to 20 weeks as chief mentioned were working with scheduling certain a variety of factors beyond 2018 were schedule for one academies every year that year is not part of budget process yet working with the Mayors Office well be reevaluating whether this our staffing needs and one turns both 2 those are in instant review during the process. Okay mr. Corso just as a point of information i introduced counting is the mayor sill in office anothers 2018. I think see, yes. There is a negotiated contingency plan over 2018 mr. Corso. Currently the mayors hiring plan is through 2020 so for the 19 and 20 currently at the commitment in the Mayors Office is one academy per year that will be reevaluated annually. I appreciate this information definitely for the members of the audience and taking this information after 2018 are our numbers of the Department Going to be satisfactory there is some concern theyre under staffed in terms of our operation and making sure that of personnel mr. Corso. Absolutely we look at that all the time two does the hires and the planning proposition we anticipate closer to 2018 based on the demographics a spike in retirements for sure and seen a lower number in the recent years but we will have more members closer to full retirement eligibility and anticipate those numbers increasing but the ramped up hire were beginning in the middle of as chief lombardi mentioned a continue process for the train we anticipate still increasing overall staffing. I appreciate that mr. Corso and chief williams somewhere along the lines the aging of the population of your members will be really quick we recognize that has a department within the training distinction we are concentrating on quite a bit the in Service Group that really is the senior firefighters in the department who have the most experience were putting them out and working them with the younger members daily in their areas and theyre first fire alarm and the building they respond to and maybe not in a book but a commitment to get that information we personally have may be able only two or three more years but doing everything we can to get that into the fold. Im fwhad because of the experience within the department i know this ratio of retirement will occur but the expertise will retire as well i look at the field offices and a lot of expertise in all the years when those presentations occur in the matter of San Francisco is a unique nature thank you very much chief chief williams one more question in terms of this i want to refer to chief gonzales chiefs report congratulations on the fire built thank you for the pictures unfortunately, i was not able to get up as early as some commissioners to have that great experience but sometimes you navigate and as a president i wind up on a government channel but a presentation to the Port Commission it happened to be about the fire boat station and our capacity it was really interesting i almost stated past the hour to gather information and wonder by my wife not the time to accommodate data that was interesting i assume dhmd well have the same report to the commission about bulk stations so again, im grateful we have boats where well have it fashioned is something ive heard it is that correct. Ill have chief lombardi answer that. Yeah. So i was actually at the meeting and we gave a meeting to the Port Commission were trying to right now redo pier 26 which is the long pier next to 22 and a half and the idea would be to move our 3 fire boats to pier 26 then tear down the current pier behind the firehouse and redo a new peer pier and firehouse the whole time anticipate the members staying in the current firehouse and the engines and redoing a new structure out back over the water and the boats will be stored at pier 26 the phase one will be pier 26 were striving to get done right away and can give you that presentation when you see fit to put it on the agenda. Id like to refer to the madam president and it is an interesting detail and two more items part of the package im not sure if thats your area chief williams but again those of you who are referring to it im not going to spent a lot of time not agendize but interested in this even though it is a draft you can get our teeth in i read it 3 times already interesting areas for myself go one expanded goal one at the top in terms of the services for medical delivery and section in here about staffing and culture of leadership it happens to be the areas im keenly interested in not a budget area mr. Corso i saw areas that is something about review maybe at some point, when appropriate may be able to get this you know this is a comment and again mr. Corso not my favorite subject in this scenario specifically and last week for chief gonzales said we have an opportunity to greet the booty intelligent back im in caramel and i go to caramel in california it is goes country california it is but unfortunately, we burns had fires and those individuals that down in caramel i got 3 folks from my friends within the area do you know that the sfrepd is responding they went by me and going fast to the area of the fire and you cant tell me we gotten other reports how important for us to adhere and go out there and chief gonzales the amount of rigs and request not once been 3 times to be up there is very, very important we all deal with fires but a whole nature of fires and the times we spent down there basic things changed like smoke in the air i cant breathe and well that is this weekend he heard about 20 percent controlled im really grateful our Department Responses and goes out there and makes a difference and maybe adjourn madam president in the member of the individual that lost the next thing i know his life in the fire. I dont have hi name but in spirited outlet of that intention i want to thank the Fire Department and the members for going out there and fighting this fire thank you madam president. Thank you commissioner nakajo. Well, i definitely am excited about the new fire boat and am so glad that everyone was able to see at any fires meeting 4 years ago i heard we were not getting that fire boat but able to get this one and you know just the fact that 8. 4 million comes from the federal government the grants is wonderful and again emphasize how important it is for us to have a grant writer so that we can you know respond to the request for proposals for grants so i know that chokz has many, many things to deal with so if we can get a person that is designated the designated person the designated grant writer that will be all to the good i want to thank everyone that worked on getting the fire boat money, getting the testing on the new fire boat, and also i want to acknowledge the hard work that former assistant chief excuse me deputy chief guzman tricked to that over an extend period of time so, yeah for the fire boat and the fire boat everyone received a list of the potential names and when the chief of the department returns well have a meeting to select the names from one of the School Children that selected the names that will be a fun task so concerning the fire the strike team that is now out fighting the fire this fire season has begun actually on the same day of the year that last years fire season began i think this will be horrendous because were drier then we were as state one of the things i want to make sure that we have on our next agenda i know that is coming up next is a mutual aid and how the San FranciscoFire Department handles wide land fire were an urban department they dont think of us as wide land firefighting having wildland capitalizations but one and thirty members of the department that are trained and certified in wildlands fires to we want to explore that a little bit more so that everyone in the city has an opportunity to hear about the continued great work that is done and to you know update if at all necessary maturing mutually a policy thank you very much fewer presentation. Thank you commissioner president covington i wanted to add the acknowledgment of former ray guzman for hard work its still near and dear to my heart to his heart i want to acknowledge the delivery the fire boat thank you for doing that. Thank you, again chief williams. Id like to. Offering commissioner Michael Hardeman has. Thank you madam president were on the fire boat so in 1990 with vancouver sent down fire boat number 2 the name like the fire boat is fire boat 3 this we have a naming but the 6yearold Christophers Smith my parish picked the name guardian it was deceiving his father with a San Francisco firefighter so anyone laughter .

Getting back to youre wonderful report and the equipment when was the last time they have a rescue vehicle its been a while so, anyway. To have those to new ones is fantastic and all the other ones 0 the other thing that olivia i dont know if olivia is in the room but olivia had to walk the halls and talk to the supervisors and is mayor we were lucky to get her, she had the background in how it works so i think getting her at this time we had office space so much good things going having someone to make the argument helped the rest of the staff really think they cant be forgotten and 798 has to be congratulated a lot of give and take where the money is spread but number one the mayor i was appointed last month i have 4 more years to go i have to be nice but is mayor did it he had to work with the board of supervisors that didnt necessarily like him not only does he have to help us get it to where it needs to be been you political strategy to block the mayor so the board of supervisors wonderful mayor wonderful and everyone deserves a put pat on the back and chief youre worried about the instructors our staff has been working to the backing bone and people watching this think this the training these firefighters is a cake and very, very hard and the instructors are hard to get to take the job in the first place with all the classes working themselves to death i hope you get our time off around the holidays and schedule it for yourselves not the students but best for you and our instructors thank you very much.

Commissioner hardeman and commissioner Vice President cleaveland any items for the next agenda. This is a pretty heavy agenda item talking about the grand juror report well need to devolve into in some detail as the San FranciscoFire Department and fairly important criticisms and some important recommendations in that grand juror report we need a conversation about that i know the chef former wrote a response but the commission should weigh in as well as i want to agendize it but theres a deadline we have to respond im not sure what that deadline is. Not until the end of september. But maybe the the meeting after the next one. Oh, i think that it would be good to do it at the next meeting is so detailed we might want to talk about things and form an action plan so that will give us time. Very well.
