Thats the emergency plan that i as the first all hazards emergency plan that we wrote for this city. It was praised up and down the coast. You have a better one now, and could you reach that little book on top . Yeah. And in my Navy Training when you get in an airplane you dont get in and the key in. You put this on your lap and do all the check offs. Well, having been a chief executive i know their lips get tired when they read more than one page. Sorry, but you know, but anyway i put this book together, and i mainly for the mayor and his primary assistants, so when bad stuff happened in the middle of the night you could pull this off of your bureau and go to the first three or four things that you have to do in order to save liv
Right now and by the way there was a man here who preceded the mayor. It was then called the chief Administrative Officer and Rudy Rothenberg and incredible Civil Servant and i worked with him on this building. In fact i drew this building. I had architecture work as a midship man and if i find it im going to give it to you. We also as a result of that we subsumed the department of Public Health ambulance into the Fire Department and should have been done years ago and we centralized 911 upstairs. It was a great ride. In addition to the people i mentioned there were scores of others that helped me to succeed kronenberg was one of these people to help me when the political system was going on and i am particularly indebted to the usual suspects, the San Francisco suspects who come forward when you have problems and help you to fix them, and i will end with that because they make a difference, and i will end with that, and i brought something with me i want to show you.

Wonderful, so thank you mr. Mayor. Youre very kind. Thank you all, and i wish you well, and again go giants. [applause] thank you so very much admiral for your inspirational remarks. I think the happiest more than in the city and county of San Francisco is the day you said you would be director of oes was me and you failed to mention yes, i was director of the Mayors Council but when you came on i was director for horrible months and i didnt know anything then and i was happy when the admiral said yes he would be the director and you did wonderful things.

You know its difficult to investigate the Police Department. It is. My father is a police officer. You have to walk carefully, and i came to the mayor and i said mayor jordan i said its a dogs breakfast. 911 is broken. They dont practice the incident command system. They do in each department but its all stove pipe. The radios didnt work in the enclosed stair wells, and i said mr.
