And Climate Impact, and i think working on wetlands and sinks is a good opportunity, and i think they should be happening in tandem. I appeal to all City Departments to cooperate, combine expertise and resources and search for economies of scale among climate solutions. Greenhouse gas emissions do not respect city limits, to coordination and strategy sharing regionally and locally are responsible. Engagement with residents and local businesses is nonnegotiatable. Neither we nor the planet can afford the exploiting of responsibilities outside of city limits. Our future relies on making sure that all people can access and afford 100 clean electricity, buildings, and transportation and on regenerating our open spaces and agriculture. We must respond as a team. I also want to say that i was really happy that the speaker from m. P. A. Mentioned the real need for getting people out of their cars and theres no reason able bodied people shouldnt take transit or bicycle, and i hope that all sta
Once again, thank you, again for all of your great work on this. We really appreciate it. Supervisor mandelman thank you again. Next speaker. Im ed gershin. Our actions are going to need to include Large Capital investments. When we say things like large transit for boats cant be addressed, we need to make sure that we have the p. R. Necessary in San Francisco to address those challenges. Also, in terms of housing policy, we need to be conscious that landlords may not be incentivized upgrade to renewable energy, and we need to either mandates or incentives to make sure that landlords are also upgrading the apartments that they control when its the tenants that pay for that. Also, we need to be cognizant of the land use of San Francisco and untalso of peopl that may not move to San Francisco because of those policies. And also, we need to have a lot of trees and ensure we have a sufficient tree canopy in San Francisco. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Hello. Im josh lee. Iv
The cancer nowadays and ptsd more common nowadays. We will be one of the first ones, after boston, doing this in the west coast. Supervisor mandelman okay, thank you. Supervisor fewer supervisor stefani. Supervisor stefani thank you, chair fewer, and thank you, chief nicholson, for the explanation. Just knowing two incidents in my district lately, the drowning two weeks ago and hearing through friends on the Fire Department the toll that it took on those that were assisting in that rescue, and then, of course, the clay fire on Christmas Eve in Presidio Heights and the toll it took on the firefighters that went through that, and hearing, again, through the grapevine that theres not that support. There is somewhat, but as you described it, i feel like there could be a step up, and i feel Like Mental Health is something that at all levels needs to be focused on, and i feel moved and persuaded by the need. And again, it goes back to me feeling that your new department head, your designing
Cultural and Institutional Knowledge to make this program effective. Weve seen the impact that boston Fire Department, we often compare ourselves to boston, were a similar size department, but weve seen the work that boston has done, and theyve really reduced their workers comp, theyve made a lot of Behavioral Changes within their department, and are seeing an overall improvement in worker behavior and health. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Supervisor mandelman. Supervisor mandelman yeah, thank you, chief. Im trying to wrap my brain around sort of i guess now that were focused on it, exactly what this position will do, and its helpful to have you sort of describe it. Is it modelled on this boston there is a similar, identical position in boston . I guess my broader question is, is this sort of a proven best practice that exists in Fire Departments around the country . And because the function that you initially described almost sounded like a counselor, which could be a much che
So ive been working with the department of the environment through a grant that they have to procure tax Hydrogen Powered taxi cabs and im trying to get the Fire Department on to that grant so we would at least get one vehicle from there. Actually im meeting with them next week so ill have more updated information. Ok. I think that this is an area that the commission might be able to help you with. Yes, sir. Particularly with toyota. I think it is a great opportunity for collaboration in terms of their product in this department. Im almost complete. Id like to picture at the end in terms of photo in front of bureau of equipment with staff. I never saw a tow truck before so it helps us to be able to see there. I particularly like the tow truck and its size. I really love the emblem on the side of this tow truck. The Police Commission talked a lot about turnout coves. There was some discussion on the Commission Level that we needed a [inaudible] and perhaps the commission needs the adopt
