At this they are dead for the remainder time can of this session. I address any questions for there is a spring recess in the midst of this process, on march 17th, and march 28, they will be you . Excuse me. Thank you very much, chief in recess, so the hearing for francisco. Did you also delineate some these measures will be very, very, heavily attended. And very, heavy agenda. Observations . That didnt make the s and as they try to get through deadline. I apologize for that. I see, those are to be all of these by the end of considered at a later date . April. In terms of note, on yes, maam. Transportation, funding, which we will put it altogether. Okay. Is a strong interest around the great. Thank you very much. At this time i would like to state right now, senator bell, has a measure in the special open the session and he intends to amend mic up for Public Comment. And we had hoped to see that on monday or tuesday at this point in time, his office says that he is there any additional is refining some of the Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. There is 1 amendments, his amendments will add significant amounts of funding and finance for transit person. A former commissioner. Projects. Even though the main balance of president covington, the bill will be focusing on the chief, members of the commission. State and local, road repairs. Larry griffin here. Sorry its not on the super there is an indication that the bowl, but i wanted to express my appreciation Administration May elect to move on february 13th. On with a more stream lined about 10 to 9 00, i started proposal in about 2 billion smelling smoke in my neighborhood and range, that would not require a started to hear a lot of alarms go super majority vote in the off and i legislature, we are trying to walk around the corner and understand if that is something that they are working on. There was a three alarm fire around but there are indications that the corner from my house. Its was a there are, or there is a preference to try to get a small victorian wooden structure. Its been amount of funding for state and a long time since i was at a fire. Local road repairs, rather than make the push for the larger amount, that is represented in it was scary because it was senator bells bill and the a three alarm fire and a lot of Assembly Members frasiers flames, but it was exciting to see the men and women of this department contain that bill. Fire and fight it and put it and i will be keeping you out in a abreast of the developments as real quick amount of time. We go through the next couple of they were so professional and just so weeks. In terms of the matrix of the onthejob. I wanted to come and commend legislation, there are 13 them specific recommendations that we tonight. Thats why i are making to you. Stopped in one is a changed position, and tonight. Then the other 12 are new bills i want to commend those that responded and the ones that for your consideration. And in addition, there is like didnt respond because they are ready to 32, or 33 other measures that we respond all the time and for all the work you do. Have recommended watch for one thank you very much. Reason or another, and they have thank you, mr. Griffin. Is there any additional Public Comment . Seeing none, public may have applied to a policy comment area, where there is not much is closed. And i will go to flesh on the bill at this point in time and many cases there are spot bills on topics that may commissioner Ken Cleaveland . Become of interest. And so rather than trying to find them again, when they get thank you, madam amended and we put them on the president. I watch and that allows us to would like to thank the monitor that flux more evenly. Chief and the team on a great job. We are and so if you would like, i can cover the 13 measures, starting grateful and our city is grateful for with the first one, which is ab the Fire Departments involvement and keeping the super bowl event as safe 1550 on page six. This is a position we had as it was. I do have a couple of recommend that opposed in the past. Questions. You and we are recommending watch. And it deals with disadvantaged communities in the cap and trade mentioned the radio logical area. Equipment . What is that. It did not change for the they are out there to proportions of the projects or detect that the funding that is required to and look for terrorist type of events be spent in the disadvantaged communities and as you may and bombs. Realize, or you may recall from these were mostly medical in nature. If someone goes to a doctor the first go around of the money and get a radioactive tracer for a procedure. Its really easy to detect and the disadvantaged with communities in the region did radiation. So you get a hit not fare well because of the way that is designed, and this bill, on that and make sure its not takes another step and leads the nefarious. We were able to identify the current, 25 percent requirement in place, but as the requirement isotope. No big deal. See you later. And 25 percent of the funding thank you very much and we must be for projects that go on. Benefit, low income households. Second question. And so, what we have or why we do you have any idea on what are recommending moving to a it cost the Fire Department to wasatch front rather than assist with super bowl 50 . Oppose. We would like to continue those numbers are just working on the definition of posting and Disadvantaged Community more in we are probably a little the background and working with early in this meeting to talk about. We are working on that this week and there is a green gas reduction, will probably have a better number for you. I think its in the and working to see if we can improve the disadvantaged neighborhood of maybe 250, definition. And we are asking for your changed to a watch position. With over time expenditures and what i just wanted to thank you so we were given by the deal to deal much for being sensitive to the with it. Low income communities. Very good. Very good job. And in some ways whether they it was a team effort. Are in the San Francisco bay thank you. Region or east la, so that we thank you, vicepresident are taking in some ways a ken regional and even a state wide cleaveland. Our chief of department would like to add something . Thank you, i would like approach to equity but policies, to reserve that number. We had originally when our but thank you. And we have seen a number of budget was being discussed last year, these types of measures over the last couple of years, and we are we did receive approximately recommending oppose on ab 1768, 250,000 that we earmarked for super bowl. And on page 10 of the matrix, subsequent to that we put and essentially, it directs, our heads the, remainder of the high together and it would be north of speed, rail bonds to be used to 250,000. I think im pay off the, outstanding high projecting approximately around speed, rail bonds, effectively, 500,000 range or so. Like chief francisco turn nighting the stream for the project and so as a consequence, said, we will have full detail on that in the we are recommending oppose. Coming weeks. Thank you, chief. And in the several more and i commissioner nakajo . Thank you, madam will cover them briefly, because president. I also i dont think that there is going to be concern about the wanted to echo chief recommendation and we are recommending oppose on 1866 on francisco and appreciation from this commission in page, 12. Terms of all the work put and this would redirect, the into this super bowl 50 and i know you remainder of the high speed, put that rail bonds to the state water acknowledgment in terms of project funding and again, that the members of station 49 and all the is a major change in the high firefighters that did speed rail. And we think that the policy of volunteer that they really couldnt this before you is for the high accomplish. I wanted to express that speed rail program. And the next measure, ab1886, we initiation. Are recommending a support and i im really gratified that they detailed this report and it have to tell you that i have to draw a diagram, three or four hasnt been that long ago. I think times before i fully understood this one. And essentially, there is an that this exemption provided within the e evenings presentation as comprehensive as it is, its really important for san franciscan to know what it takes to put seqa, where 25 percent of the together a super bowl or super bowl city. I projects are no further than a also think that might reinforce the half mile. This takes it to 50 percent, so status of no more than 50 percent of the San Francisco as a major land mass, is an expansion of venue city that can compete on any the sequa expansion for these types of project and we are comparable level. Any structure with recommending a support position. The reports that shows to me and the commission which is all the components that it takes to pull this off ab 1964, on page, 14 is another, without and a long series of bills, over sparing any kind of means or the last couple of years, this lack of necessity. So whatever one is little bit different than budget figure the ones that we have seen before. This simply extends the white we do submit chief white to the Mayors Office or the cost sticker, authorization, to of it so San Francisco can see what access hov lanes, and the white stickers are pure, battery and it cost to electrics and the natural gas have a great event. I want vehicles as distinguished from the greenstickers, when are the to extend my appreciation to the chief and to all the members. Thank you, hybrids. Madam and so this, applies only to the president. Thank you, commissioner white sticker vehicles, but they are growing in sales, and the nakajo. Commissioner michael population throughout the state, hardeman . Is growing. Thank you, madam and the concern is, that allowing, the continued and president. Chief francisco, i think you used a lot of your athletic ability. Expanding access of the hov lane and so we recommend an opposed Everybody Knows you are quite an athlete and i think you needed all that strength and position. Ab2034, on page 15, conditioning that you have from the abilities recommending the support to even position to you. Or continuing to play and more than a decade ago, the baseball. So you are in shape and i federal government, authorized the delegation, to state appreciate your staying in shape. Transportation departments. To over see nefa, of the the weapon was this on page two, what kind of a weapon is that . Reviews, within their state. Its most likely an ar and that was enacted and it has been continued once and this 15, thats simply continueses that authorization at the state level to allow cal transin a civilianized version. I was talking to a couple circumstances to administer and of these over see both nepa and sequa guys at moscone and very shocked to see at moscone. I have been going by moscone documents but i will not comment on the effectiveness, but it is center my whole life. A continuation of an existing its now where all the policy. And what will bring the High Speed Rail Program to an end. Conventions are but things change. It says that no more bonds could im surprise but happy to see these. Be sold. And it will have to go back these are a deterrence. To the voters and so there is a double layer of protection when you shop in europe and against this becoming effective. You are because i dont see this measure surprised and when you go to moving forward but that one is San Francisco and you see them found on page 15, if you would like more details or more information. We are also recommending support around. On ab, 2126, on page, 16. With your report and all the other folks that you had working with you of the matrix. And protecting all the and this applies, to the states visitors, very comforting. Current authority to utilize no incidents. I think it was all because construction manager, and general contractor and you were so prepared. So you really authority, for administering deserve a pat in the back. Projects, large scale, complex, projects and it will be coming the gators, i was talking to to another bill, similar to this in a moment that applies to you, probably about you this applies, only to everybody has an idea. Golf the state. The state has the authority to do six and they have occupied carts and some mini ambulance. Thats the six slots in statute, and what the gators and i saw them first in new york city and they were this will extend it to 12 for actually doing a rescue for somebody cal trans, to administer. That had mr. Prazir is the author. A heart attack. I think you are not prepared to talk and the state, highway and about it today but i think Protection Program is the main the gators are very wonderful thing and program or the main, financing i heard that you had five active, source at the state level for the projects that are approved one broke down. We had six. Or we construct that provide, thankfully none broke down. Major maintenance and the reconstruction, as well as the gaiters we are using very operational funding to operate the state highway system. Often and they worked well for us. And the funding is generally, in the new years chinese only available to the cal trans. And the ctc and the annual parade i report, recommended the talk to a couple of firefighters expanding a one small provision during that parade and they liked doing that duty and they within this program to allow the operations, to also have capitol volunteered to man a gator that night improvements. So previously, up to now, the and its such a great tool. Operations will be you know, very good. Widening the guard rail, and you know, expanding tauxiliary lane, the gators that we had in and this allows for the capitol the picture protect with the she projects to qualify for the same projects. This bill, ab2374, was will on the back and equipment from the rain and they were able to get it introduced by mr. Chui. And we are recommending that the done in time for the super bowl and Transportation Authority not only support but register as of course sponsors of this measure, el nino went away. Then we talk about because it came from staff restaurants in the area and after that conversations with the authors office. Meeting there and it would uniquely expand, or was like another half dozen authorize, some what uniquely restaurants. I think there was a authorize, that the ramps, for problem of communication. If the public knew all of those restaurants that were very the island, program and the good restaurants. They would have enjoyed ramps that connect to the bridge themselves and they would have enjoyed system, would be eligible utilize the cmgc Authority Just their availability. Next time i would like to like we, or just like cal have more notice to make those transhas now for a certain number of projects. Restaurants and i would specifically be happy and get those targeted towards some of the businesses taken care of. Complex engineering and its the only negative. Construction that is anticipated thank you very much for your for phase two of the ramp job and all your work. Thank you. I would like to thank the project. And i have been doing a lot of Due Diligence with state chief and engineers and other folks who battalion Mike Thompson. Have had concerns in the passed they did great work and ran the about the similar authority. Operations everyday. Senator bell, has introduced sb big thank you to all of them. The game ticket would 1066 which is on page, 35, and have been nice. But thats okay. We are recommending a support thank you, chief for this measure, it does not francisco. I would like to also thank appear to do much on the surface. And it is more of a place holder sponsored by the and what it does is it provides in the state chief castellanos as well as chief law, the authorization for the guzman. New fast act revenues approved by the federal government and by i think everything went congress to flow to the regular programs at the state level that we anticipate them to. Fabulously and in essence, it does not well and to have the logistics of really change the law, but it people working that day as is, and it, it would, actually well as the people who are coming to be operative, if it were to such a pass. The game plan, however, is for huge event, its really fortunate for us that we have such a the selfhelp counties to have, person thats very good that the chief of a joint, jointly, jointly our department selected chief francisco for these duties. He brings managed bill that they can work on in case there are wrinkles in a wealth of knowledge and depth of the fast act that the people have not anticipated and some of the funding formulas. Experience so this is to preserve their that was put to good use option is to move the over those 9 days. Very much for your legislation. And senator glazier from the update and your report. I wanted us to east bay has introduced us, and we are recommending the support get this information while it was position and it is on page, 35. Still fresh in our minds. The mtc, has commute benefits and during the times that i went to ordinance, and they have the authority to adopt a commute, super bowl city, once before benefits ordinance, and that is just to get the lay of the land with soon to expire. And this was, simply, extend chief that authorization, francisco and i went on the first sunday. It was an amazing event. Our indefinitely, and consequently we are recommending support. And the final measure for your city looked good, everyone from consideration, is sb, 1259, by near and far came. Lots of families, senator runner, and on it is page, 36 of the matrix and we lots of excitement about the venues, are recommending oppose. About this picks up the idea that have the game. I was so pleased that been attempted several decade or everything went well and i was extremely more to allow veterans with special, decals and the ability relieved when everybody headed down to access toll facilities and to santa clara. So thank you again, chief francisco. There has been similar, thank you. Authorizations in other states, where we have, and the reports well call the next item, are that, it can result in fraud. And associated decreases in the please. City clerk item no. 5. Toll revenue. So, it is, mainly an issue of chief of departments report. Report on current issues, activities and vebts with department equity. Since the with that i bring my oral part of the presentation open for Fire Commission meeting of questions if you have. And i will try to answer them. I am still trying to digest all of the bills. February there is more than 1,000 in each 10, 2016, including fleer, house. So questions colleagues . I wanted to say on the 20152016 sb1128, by glazer that the bay budget, staffing changes, Academies Air quality district, and the Community Benefits policies and strategic planning, 150th give many options or a couple of anniversary update, special events, options to employers, and i think that is a really important communication and outreach to other Government Agencies and the public. One in insuring that we are good evening, Fire Commission. This is my report since last reducing Greenhouse Gas and trips as possible. Meeting and the coalition that are of january 10th. Really trying hard on automatic this is the budget since the speed enforcement. And the speeding cameras. Last but i know that some meeting. We submitted the budget on february 22nd. Communications with some of we look forward to more chuis office were fruitful up conversations with the Mayors Office until the last minute but we are prior to the hopeful that there is legislation that comes forward, submittal on june 21st. But it is a little disappointing its the process of confirming a date but i want to give a shout out for our Budget Committee to for the work behind the teams on meet with the mayors budget director those efforts but thank you so much, mr. Watts for the great kate howard. I anticipate that will be some time next month during presentation. And commissioner yee . The month thank you, for your of march. Not any know staffing presentation, and i know that changes to report for this reporting period of time. We do you mentioned some bills may not have all of the details, anticipate fire necessary, or whatever, and so you are watching it. And one of them may be, under or possibly may be ab 1677. Fighter keith bracha to introduce himself at the march 9th report. In the process of announcing on page, 9. Very soon some acting positions or 17 . In the ems i guess that what i would division which we will be able to like to do is to move that to report at the next meeting. Suggest that we urge you to move related to academies, 119th academy it from watch to support. Is off to a good start. They begin on and the reason for this, is january 25th, and later we are because this is a bill that, so joining by station no. 49 for a total that the board of supervisors have already passed a resolution of 50 to support.

Backgrounds have been pretty is working with the senator on much conducted and interviews this particular bill and we are will take place through the meet and trying to give them as much information in terms or suggestions about the bill, as greet in the march and april possible. Hopefully, we will have some meat on it. Timeframe. So, commissioner yee has made we have members that were a a motion to add, ab 1677 from good fit to our department and very the move from watch to support. Instrumental during the staffing of super bowl week.

I would like to include theyre ready to being so the future homes you know how and invite the nert participants and variable the Navigation Center is my message for the constituents yes something can be done do break chronic the certified people in the city homelessness it is being done. Because they worked so hard. This is a community that i would like to include them. Sets an example but i how to absolutely and the start pick an area that was funky begins april 17th where we will pay theyve seen were trying to do special tribute to the nert is help their neighbors theyve volunteers. Perfect. Thank you very much. Seen getting sicker and more thank you. Frail and broken down on the commissioner nakajo . Streets and welcomed us thats a thank you, madam powerful statement president. Thank you, chief, for your report. People are exist and president i would like to get information on a in theyre becoming to see the couple of variances that you movement for folks and people on reported the streets are only survival on your report. Modes where is there next meal you reported on h 8 per diem were and their itch more carefree. Offered permanent positions. Can you share with us how the staff here is many of those h 8 candidates were offered and which they were offered at the emt level within the department . Interpretation the first day i have a appointment and correct. We did a hiring a number of everything was made all you do is go through them this makes a h 8s during this time of offering and huge difference. Because of the other employment they have because of a per diem to get settled in a helping hand, to get on my feet, take or as needed parttime served them well with their schedule and to care of the issues i have and be able to come in and let them know what their availability is. There were others that i get out of bed and help. Think there goal was to eventually get even though the navigation hired full time with the department. So center has been up in march 2014 the program is creating we offered 14 people that opportunity to sort of transition from successful outreach for its clients. A month ago they came to me their per diem status to full time and asked me to go into a new status. These are emt positions. So program i moved into here and they definitely have a higher now 3 months later i have my own level of place it is mine i lock my door training but all emt positions but they all have paramedic dont worry about my stuff it licenses. One member started monday. Feels human again one member has decided to move back into the h 8 status. We will pledge of allegiance i pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america and to the republic for which it transition 13 members. Stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay. I think thats a real great accomplishment to have a member come in as a per diem. I remember when we conceptually talked about h this is a reminder that 8s and the concern as to where that would be that pull of resources because there is a lot of requirement in under administrative code, the use of cell terms of phones and similar sound coming on a per diem rather than full producing Electronic Devices is time. So, to have individuals come in as an h 8. Prohibited during meetings. Set all as i understand once they pagers and cell phones and other graduate we immediately put those in the fields for service . Correct. The training was devices to modified because they had been vibrate or completely off elsewhere. Some of it was online and now. Today is february 24, 2016. Some item no. 1, roll call. Classroom training. Once they finished the criteria which was developed, they were able to be out on the streets with another member of our department. Francee covington, ken so these positions, emt are full time positions within our department . Correct. Cleaveland, the other question i have is perhaps im not sure if its michael hardeman. Item no. 2 Public Comment. Appropriate in your report and perhaps you might want to refer back members may address any to operations and such, but matters i know that we are presently in the within the commission and not on the agenda. Speakers shall address their 119th class and this class that remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners graduated or in may. Im curious of the Department Personnel. Commissioners are not to enter into debate or discussion with a speaker. Graduating the lack of a response by the class of 117, 118 and 119 commissioners or Department Personnel and how that works with the does not necessarily department. Constitute because at this point class glieltd agreement with 117, 118 should be off probation and our support of statements made integrated within our during Public Comment. Thank you. Department . Any Public Comment . I believe 117 is off public speaker my name is probation, 118, they are still under jason rogers at the Fire Department station going some steps and still on 49. I have 25 years with the city of san probationary francisco. I come on behalf status.

Fulton street and i would about 4 years later t board of supervisors asked for an audit at the like to see Fire Department and in that you address that and hear something about that. No problem.

As you can see there are almost 15,000 under the ebonds, those volunteer hours in 2015 alone. Given the number of trained nert includes repairs for roofs, windows and the and normal of volunteer hours showers, generators and they expend, you can expect these numbers will grow in a disaster situation. Why is this important for other repairs. You today . Under eser 1, wss, the per fema recovery policy repairs and completion for the tank. 9525. 5. These hours are categorized and twin peaks reservoir. And with all of these repairs we saved over 500,000 gallons of water as donor which was leaked each day.

Have you put any sort of they will dollar figure on that . Meet with station 35 to the position which would discuss with them further since that is where the fire boats are health. Include the benefits etc would probably be in the area of about concerning the bayview Hunters Point and candlestick 80,000100,000. Station. One will be a all right. I think its a fantastic program and we can single engine also use company and the other will nert to educate the public on causes of fires and how to prevent be a them so they can take this information back. Double engine company. They are specifying the the teen nert program, we need to do more of that outreach into middle schools and high schools on Fire Prevention and just nert space needed for this station. There has program and the teen nert could be a not been a definite location established. As i mentioned in the benefit to previous report, the fireboat is on that. I know that our Fire Prevention division is working with track for that and well be happy to work with them to extend the region on the completion on may 31. Fourth multiplier on all of those the boat builder has requested an extension to fireboat contract due to a couple of delays on the efforts. Construction side. Thank you.

Themselves and i want to acknowledge all of you in the audience that are part of it is supposed to happen . That as well because we all know if it is supposed to happen. We dont if there have this program and nert is any delay, they will be assessed. Are you confident we will volunteers have the when the next disaster new fireboat by may 31 . Occurs, this city is going to have a yes. Difficult time in managing that. I say [ laughter ] that because a lot of us were part of the are you confident that all the issues of the airport with earthquake in 89. The i was there at candlestick relocation of the fire park watching the giants with my station there, all the firefighters that young son are when that stadium started concerned with the air rocking and pollution are being taken care of . The lights started swaying yes, im confident about that. They met with the industrial and i can hygienist, chief lombardy swear the stadium expanded and members out and i from the unit and the Cancer Prevention and the meetings ran out to the parking lot are on going. I think their and heard concerns as far as health have been by rumor that the bay bridge addressed and the next phase will be the had collapsed. I just wanted to actual layout of the new construction. Go home with my son. Didnt you have hygienist and how i got there were the citizens from San Francisco from do some sort of analysis . Yes. Candlestick park all the way to so that report was provided to japantown, every block, every neighborhood this sense them and so there is no of we have to take care of cause for ourselves. Concern . There were folks out there thats correct. Final question, in terms directing traffic and such. Part of that was the amazing of a continuing education, do we and i have a budget and do we have a call it the seed for nert series of because continuing education of part of that as well and this is a courses for all of the firefighters. San franciscan talking. We put in 1600 people within there was a lot of folks in the the Fire Department. I think its important that all of them that feel there is something they can learn neighborhood looking for help in that and there direction at the marina high is a new program, new school backyard so to speak. The birth of nert was techniques, new equipment to learn about. Im wondering what kind of invented. I have seen this Organization Grow budget do we have for continuing from that personal experience. I just education and wanted to thank all of you what does that entail for for all of your work and the the most comprehension of part . First of all, its all this program. Thank you, commissioner. Encouraged to seek education. We have state and thank you, commissioner fire marshall courses that we start to move in and as we move toward nakajo. Chief white . Accreditation we will move thank you, i want to thank you for toward that. Speaking on the your sentiment. I was very proud of the work education, we that went out with the earthquake. Reimburse for the education you receive. As far as the budget, i i was the one who hand would have to picked the lieutenant. Refer. Its more than just a job to while mark is coming up, i think generally we have a certain her. She really lives and breathe amount the nert allotted and so like chief Williams Program and the messaging that the community that a good said, we encourage continuing education. There are times responsible citizen is for the and more community. I would for specialty for bureau also like to give a great Fire Prevention and we are going to do deal and more under this fire marshall bring respect and admiration for in subject Matter Experts as the volunteer work. Its opposed to sending people up and we volunteer work, have a day for the staff to avail not paid, and also you share a similar passion for the themselves of that training. We are also looking neighborhood Emergency Response team in for opportunities to partner the city and county of San Francisco. With city college. But members now and the we meet at our headquarters and the training does, we go through training rather quickly but members number of nearly thousands of people.

I would like you to go over thank you, vicepresident some of the other areas of nert such Ken Cleaveland. Commissioner as nert training and some of nakajo . Thank you very much for the other affiliations that we your comprehensive report. I want have for to ask people who want to become for a couple questions as i try to digest out your report. You radio operators. If you can delineate some of gave information on the easter that, i think that would be illuminating to bond . Yes. Everyone. Absolutely, thank you for and what is that for . Asking that question. There is a misperception to some of the eser be able to do rescue by being a nert projects are for repair and replacement and member. Through basic training we its i believe near completion if not have emergency medical closing out of the projects. Preparedness through triage, search and the closing out of the rescue and projects in to command and skill on including reference to that easter fire extinguisher. The role once you complete the basic training is very easy. I will put bond. Them in the context of is that chief williams, working in neighborhood command post chief lombardy . Which is tracking volunteers in and assistant deputy chief lombardy. Out. Its hand radio we are closing out the communications where easter bond a neighborhood has direct and the only two projects communication with volunteers at a that will fire battalion station so be left is station 5 and 18 your needs can be met. And well its also supporting each other in that way and providing a set move down to the 14 bond. Up where a command post can be we have done that already successful. But coming then the other aspect is the field team aspect which are teams down to the finalization of going out the bond. To do Damage Assessments as we start to move to which is Walking Around the 2014, does neighborhood and providing the needs and the that have designation for search and rescue skills that are Major Repairs . Yes it does. The 2014 needed. The Program Allows you to go on and bond was 85 get training from animal million to refresh care control, from our water everybodys memory. We will be doing department to allow you to broaden your skills in scope and the response. Comprehensive seismic. Thank you. Very good. Will you give the major part of the bond, us an 1 3 of that money will be in idea of the scope of the two station 35 which was for the bond and we realized we couldnt afford all three stations in that bond. We large gatherings of nert volunteers every moved to year. 2014 bond and will be what transpires there . Absolutely. Redoing that the april and october station out over the water which is a activation is a very expensive project. Request to anyone trained citywide to okay. So in terms of 2010 easter come to a Central Point and we set up mock neighborhoods for any bond, is number of that bond also cover the people registered and getting up to name of the 50 people per neighborhood. New station at the hall of we have an actual activation. When justice . We hit go, yes, the 2010 easter bond the Neighborhood Team establishes the command post in that area was 65 million and we received a and they carry out those skills we have been talking about. Well take new station over a forward along with the school like marina middle Safety Building and the police got school and have that represent the a new substation and headquarters. Neighborhood that did not come out of the with addresses or rooms that need to 65 be searched and Neighborhood Assessment to be done. Million. That was an independent so it provides that kind of project and did not come out of the realtime. Funds. So that station for it it is slightly compressed because it is a drill but its more of was a new station . Yes. A realtime what are we going thats a brand new station to do when the earthquake happens and for us, however the funds did not we head to come out of our staging area and we are that bond. Asked to respond. There was a separate i its excellent training believe around because you actually get to practice 245 million on with your neighbors. Approximately 45 these are the people that million bond for the Public Safety building and in that building was a get to know by face and skill new Police Headquarters and level. It Police Station and fire station really is a very very good within that one project. So perhaps again for the extension of the classroom learning. Chief and perhaps at your discretion, perhaps it sounds like it falls have you reached out to the under boy scouts for the Team Component . Operation and update perhaps we are developing our partners on right now and looking for operation 4. Again, i know boy scouts. Are you out there . Call me. Its operating but technically, and again i dont know if this is appropriate with that, with the Unified School District we have done some to ask that question on how this is reaching out and also among nert operating with the personnel and the children to look at what that looks like city. Commissioner, i would so they suggest that could be incorporated as can send us their team and part of the Operations Report that chief weve already had some go through gonzalez the program. Can give an overview of the very good. Thank you very area that much for your presentation. Any they are protecting and follow up serving as questions on the part of well as call volume as well commissioners . No. Keep up the good work. Thank as and so forth if that works . That does work. I just want to get clarity in my mind as well you. Next item . Item no. 4. Because i know traditionally we talked about station one with locality overview and summary of which it does have a new location on folsom street and station two and super bowl 50. Station three and where does station four assistant department chief of fall in. Im just curious how that Homeland Security shane falls in francisco to talking with the easter provide after action report bond. Last of super question, chief williams. Bowl 50. Where is good afternoon. The bayview Hunters Point projections, is that easter bond . Candlestick point and Hunters Point by lenar and we are still determining on where to locate that firehouse. There is plans out there and there is certain parcels so you have my report today on the super bowl and how things dedicated for community parcels and one of those parcels will be went during that crazy week. A nine Straight Days of 18 Community Firehouse for sure. Hour days its just a matter of which pretty much for everybody. All things went pretty well. Serves best. That currently does not fall well talk about that today. The under easter bond funds. Thats a cooperation first between the thing everyone probably noticed is developer and the department that there was a heavy chief . Its currently its police presence. We had swat officers at the Police Department. Listed as a it might have been heavy but general fund project today. The it kept developer is supplying the land for everything very safe. If us but not necessarily thats what building the it takes, so be it. Fire station. Unfortunately we have to okay. I just want to be clear that live in this day in age with that kind of we have a lot of input of presence. Police department had a lot where that of coverage. They had escorts to deal station serves a lot of the needs. Not that im not appreciative of that, but we had a gift of a with, vips location of a fire station and im and so much coverage. They not sure if did a that really helps us in our great. Just to recap what we general did in terms of responsibilities. San francisco. We had two major venues, at again bayview hunters. Maybe the Moscone Center and at the down the road and there is a lot of super bowl plaza at the park and the residents in that area. Connecting i agree with that. Both of them. We had one at my chief and i met with the builder and emphasized the same pier 1 thought and Emergency Services process that you are operated and explaining right now. The Police Department thank you very much. Operation center activated. Well talk about that and how those things went. Our structure for the super thank you, commissioner bowl. Here is our organizational chart. I dont expect you to memorize this, nakajo. Commissioner michael but very large, very involved for us. Hardeman . Real quick, madam probably one of the largest events in president. Chief city of San Francisco since the williams, you have become very efficient in your report. World fair. 9 days long of this type of good job. Structure that you see in front of you mentioned one thing you. Just to give you an idea of what that looked like. The resources assigned about saving to the event. I will do a quick recap for of 500,000 gallons of water. Interesting i was at the you. Our command was chief assistant franklin Public Commission in San Francisco and that and Mike Thompson and jeff it leaked so much water in a day than myers and tony maloy. This was the heart of the San Francisco used. Team if you so thats how these leaks will, the people that made came and sure the how much water gets taken operations ran smoothly for and with this drought, its nice to 9 days hear that we are doing the part in straight. At the Moscone Center we saving water. Good job and great had 4 emi foot teams, ems report. Thank you. Thank you, commissioner. Gator on i have a few questions regarding the surface, two ambulances, chief of the departments report as fire service and command post and well as your report, chief battalion chief at the command post. Very similar to super bowl williams. City except no foot teams. The Training Fund, and this question is for the chief of the department. The Training Fund and i one fire gator and mini understand this is an opportunity for pumper and members of three ambulances there. The department to have at the Operations Center additional that i training and get certified in mentioned we had rc zanon particular areas, but i also understand that if you take and chris a class, if you decide to take a bond at the eoc and police class and its an away class of a few days or so and that class is towards department operator. Those two volunteered to work most of the days and the end covered of the year, that the funds most of the shifts there and brought have already been expended from it great continuity to that the Training Fund and so you are operation. Which makes it easier. We have people in the know and we basically writing the large dont have to revisit and check yourself. So is there a way relearn every day. That was a welcome to have. To spread down in santa clara, we had rescue captain wong at the field the monies out so they last throughout the calendar year . We can look at that but and lieutenant george carawani its done representing the santa clara on a first request. Especially if we achieve emergency Operations Center. Growth in that Training Fund. It is Hazardous Materials now, we something to look at. In the Training Fund, how had many agencies working in our much is it currently . I dont have that behalf. We information. Joined the hazmat assessment okay. We can discuss those details at another time. Sure. I think that members of team. The program out of liver the department should be encouraged to moore and apply as soon as they fbi and we were able to realize that respond and they want to have training. Assess any significant its now incident that february. If there is a may have happened during training that you have near and dear to those 9 days. Fortunately we didnt your heart have any major incidents. That was run by station 46, that isnt being offered until october, there should be a way to our hazmat captain, the backbone give the higher ups a heads of that and this was our control up that i really want to go to this team for the technical team. Under this training and this is my case for you doing that. So perhaps those funds can umbrella we had many be set aside even though the agencies working for us. In addition to this, training hasnt taken place yet. I the National Nuclear agency and understand its on a reimbursement basis, but the Nuclear Detection office. They had 29 hits in those 9 the reimbursement is oftentimes not covering the entire cost of days, 43 in the bay area during the 9 days of the super bowl. From the the training. So any monies that we can National Pass on to staff of the guard civil support team, this is a dedicated National Guard department would be very helpful. Asset of the state. Each state has at least one certainly we can look at that and should also be noted as a civil support team. California we part of the are lucky factor as part of the mou we have two because we are very large. We have teams the provision, if someone takes an initiative and achieves certain 71st from iowa and nevada and guam and certification or degrees there is an increase and after a certain length of hayward. We have the Homeland Service that premium get paid the response from the Washington State amount. National guard whether someone is to provide the dedicate reimbursed or not by the department i think that is a great thing. I want to. Out decontamination asset to respond to there is any incident or hospital to a financial incentive in do just addition to decontamination. So very thankful to the memorandum of these teams that came in and understanding where by if you take the flew long distances and worked initiative to grow these long yourself and expand with 1218hour days there. Classes with but things went very well with that education, you are compensated by the city. Thats good to know. Operation. So, moving on the operations thats a long life at the super bowl events at the its in a few contracts. Moscone center. Its the football field and yes, once you get that you can go inside and throw it and premium, it stays with you and i believe test your it is pensionable. Skills and usually that is it a percentage of results in an injury when there is an your base pay . Yes, its a percentage. Adult participation. Here are some numbers on the its training and education nfl on the attendance we saw there incentive pay. All right. Is it a 5 during 9 days. As you see kind of mild the first weekend and slows down percent boost . I can find out. That monday and tuesday and of i believe it is 6. 5 . Pretty course as you reach the weekend as more people start flying into the city and people start getting more excited significant. About the game, it reaches 40,000 people on saturday. The game was very light as the game was going on. Over 40,000 visitors to the Moscone Center and we move on to the super bowl city and we saw the largest crowds maybe since the millennium. Lots of people there on friday and saturday. As you can see the i have a question. Pictures. It was very good for the about may 31. City. When is that happening . The weather turned out well for us and lent to the atmosphere we have a competition with the there. According to the super bowl School District and 50 host committee. Here are the partnership. They are going to assist us in a numbers. They period where School Children barely estimated here for have the opportunity to name the the event. Opening weekend, quite a significant crowd. It dips down again on that fireboat. Monday and tuesday and starts Building Back up as you get whether its k8, we havent closure and those are the days when decided on it yet but something we are working on. I would like to know you have major bands at the park and details at our next meeting because i think its important to give the students and friday it their teachers and the got crazy and that saturday even more principals enough time to work on their so. You can see the dense of people down at the water front. Submissions for the name of tons and tons of people. We had a lot the fireboat. Of i think its a wonderful way events like this that we are pretty to, you well prepared for and we worked very know, include our younger well with the Police Department and captain dave lazar is the citizens. Command post at the Police Department at pier so i look forward to that. One and working together there. I want to point out that we had some crowd issues. As you can see its one of our trucks there. I think i counted 15 people we are working with chief kennedy as well as on our facilitating for our new truck. We got lost in the employees. There will be commissioning crowd in of the the command post. It felt boat. It will take some time, some like a soccer match. I had no control over deployment and training of the staff my body. We kind of lost the fire a on this new marine vessel. So more to follow on that. Little thank you. Bit. Together working with the Police Department, we developed a we would appreciate an joint operation to send in one of update. And station 5, i know in your our mini pumper along with a remarks you mentioned that you had a meeting with our president of the board barricade truck because people would part the way and of supervisors, president breed as the truck went through we and you gave the had a discussion with her regarding station 5. Can you elaborate on that or perhaps chief lombardy can. Chief lombardy has been at previous meetings. He was not that the one. Supervisor breed is taking initiative with this district with one of the larger trucks as the division chief at the northern Police Station. That will be a total take down of that facility and then a new facility. Shes very interested and has been a great partner in terms of what that station is going to look like functional wise and as well as aesthetically. Was there any discussion regarding the arson unit at station 5 . That was not discussed at the last meeting we had but it is coming up in the past. What we agreed to do is have the most up to date blueprints brought to her office with deputy chief lombardy and we will review that with her. All right. That sounds good. Perhaps at the end of next month, last meeting of the month, we can get an update. Do you think that would be too soon . I think thats reasonable. Okay. Thank you very much, chief. Those are all the questions that i have. Thank you, chief williams. And thank you chief hayes white. Next item, please. Madam secretary. Text 6 agenda for next Fire Commission meeting discussion regarding agenda for march 9, 2016, regular meeting. Thank you. My fellow commissioners, what is your pleasure regarding the agenda . All right. Vicepresident cleaveland. I think we ought to have the Safety Task Force and have that available for the results of the fire Safety Task Force. I think its what the Community Needs to hear. That should be agendaized. Okay. Thank you. Any other commissioners . There are several items that we have not discussed. Ems 6 update and the 911 task force collaboration with private ambulance companies. Okay. Ems 6, madam secretary. And then of course we will have the chief of this Department Report and then chief gonzalez will be presenting next time. Are we doing the 911 task force for next meeting . Lets see, our next meeting, yes, i think we are fine. I think well have to hold that one over. Well, the fire Safety Task Force and then ems 6. Are two definites. So the agenda may expand over the next week or so. I believe the chief was going to do a recognition on the academy of arts . We are going to hold off on that for just a little while. Okay. Okay, commissioner cleaveland . Just one thing i know that we have not discussed at Commission Level regarding staffing requirements at station 49. There has been a lot of back and forth and i think it might be useful to have that issue aired at the Commission Level. So i would like to see that issue brought to the commission. At the very next meeting . I think its an issue to be resolved. All right. That sounds good to me. Anything else . All right. Thank you all very much. This is going to be an informative meeting.
