come on up and say a few words. >> i wasn't planning on saying anything, but thank you, madam mayor. i will say this. when i was chair of the rules committee, a number of you came through the committee. and why do you want to be on this commission and there are hard decisions ultimately at the end of the day, what you are doing is such a service for san francisco. and such a service for the citizens. and decision to have real impact and they help the direction and the course of the city. >> thank you, mayor, for letting me say a few words. >> thank you, commissioner, for your hard work and dedication to the city. >> thank you, supervisor. and i just want to acknowledge the department heads who are here. michael lambert from the library. thank you for joining us. kimberly ellis from the commission of the status of women. and thank you to josh for joining us from the office of work force development in the city. so so many great department heads, but more importantly they are able to do their job because of you. and so now that covid is still here, but it is not as much as it used to be. and the plan is to continue to do the ceremonies. i know i hadn't had a chance to swear some of you in personally, and i wanted to take that opportunity to do so now as you usher into the next couple of months in doing your jobs in the during the capacities and on zoom all the time and are coming back to city hall and i am looking forward to the business of the city continuing to get done. so this is a little different than what i am used to in terms of swearing in ceremony. i will need everybody's fool cooperation. for all of you who are commissioners that are being sworn in, we're going to ask you all to stand. and to raise your right hand. and then i am going to ask you all to say your names and it is okay that you are saying it at the same time. i am going to also ask you to state the board or commission that you are serving on. is that the right way to do it? or do i point and go down the line? no, in terms of the names and the bodies. okay. we're going to say it all simultaneously and it's going to sound like this [mumbling] come on up closer to the front, all my commissioners. can we get some of the commissioners to come? james, mr. commissioner, please come up closer to the front. we want all the commissioners if you could stand. as a matter of fact, you can come up here to let the audience get nice pictures. this is a little different. the next time it will be good. it is like the first kid, you mess up, and the second, you got it under control. all right. there is more room over here if you want to space out a little built. all right. are we fired up? ready to serve. please raise your right hand. and repeat after me. i, state your name. do solemnly swear. that i will support and defend. the constitution of the united states. and the constitution of the state of california. against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that i bear true faith and allegiance to the same. that i take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation. or purpose of evasion. and that i will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which i'm about to enter. and during such time. as i serve as. state your commission. for the city and county of san francisco. congratulations, everybody. welcome back to city service. now, let's get the work done. there's so much involved with becoming a firefighter. and as a component of being a woman in the field, it takes a lot of perception. it takes belief in yourself. it takes asking the right questions of people who already have the job so that you have the confidence to build it and it takes someone telling you that this job is a possibility for you. my job has given me 25 years of satisfaction. the primary thing is that i grew up here in san francisco and i'm serving in the city where i grew up. i transitioned to community training and i was able to build disaster resilient padre of volunteers and bringing us all the latest information so that we can be ready for a disaster. pride and loyalty are the heart of a firefighter. it's in the way we do our job from the very smallest thing from our everyday checks we do of our equipment. from the way that we treat each other and the community we come in contact with every day. and loyalty is to our own families is to the pride we have in this department. it's to the other members when we're out in a dangerous situation keeping each other safe. it goes throughout every aspect of being a firefighter. i'm really proud of the way our department approaches diversity, equity, and inclusion. i was hired in a class that had 45 people and 17 women. it was an accomplishment at the time, but there were many women that came before me that laid the ground work and i had to see it to be it. someone had to recruit me into this job. i didn't know it was a possibility for myself. and so the importance of young women seeing what it takes to be a firefighter, seeing themselves when they look at me. it really brings myself a lot of pride and joy in this work. >> everything we do in the tenderloin, we urban outfit. here, this gives us an opportunity to collaborate with other agencies and we become familiar with how other agencies operate and allow us to be more flexible and get better at what we depo in the line of work in this task. >> sometimes you go down and it's hard to get up. so we see ourselves as providing an opportunity for the unhoused to get up. and so i really believe that when they come here and they've said it, this right here is absolutely needed. you can't ask for nothing better. >> the tenderloin is the stuff that ain't on the list of remedies, liked the spiritual connection to recovery and why would i? why would i recover? what have i got to live for? things like that. and sharing the stories. like i was homeless and just the team. and some people need that extra connection on why they can change their life or how they could. >> we have a lot of guests that will come in and say i would like -- you know, i need help with shelter, food, and primary care doctor. and so here, that's three rooms down the hall. so if you book them, they get all of their needs taken care of in one go. this is an opportunity for us here in the tenderloin to come together, try out these ideas to see if we can put -- get -- connect people to services in a the time is 5 o'clock. this person. this meeting is held in person and remote i have video and teleconferencing. the meet suggest held by web ex governor's executive order and it is mayor proclamations declaring the local emergency. during the coronavirus disease, emergency the first fire commission regular meeting room at city hall. i'm sorry. >> we are in city hall in room 400 to which join the meeting use the upon link that is on the posted agenda. and you mayment to watch live. sfgov.org to participate publicing comment call 415-655-0001, access code 24975090350. members of the public will have opportunity to participate during public comment. public is asked to wait for the agenda item before making a dment on that item. comments will be address in the the order received. when the moderator announces the commission is taking comment the members can raise hands by pressing star 3 xu will be queued. callers will hear silence when waiting to speak. operator will unmute you. callers have the 3 minutes to proride comment unless the president of the commission decided to reduce the time depending on the number of callers. >> ensure you are in a quiet location. speak clearly and turn off tv's around you. iteming one roll call. >> president feinstein. >> present. >> vice president nakajo. >> present. >> commissioner covington. >> present. >> commissioner morgan. >> present. >> and chief nicholson. >> present. >> item 2 the land okay knowledge that president fine tien will read. >> thank you, madam secretary. san front fire commission acknowledges that we are on the unseatedan cest ral only land of the ramaytush ohlone who other currently inhabitants of the san francisco peninsula. the indigenous stewards of this land and accordance with their traditions the ramaytush ohlone have never seated, lost nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place as well as for all people when reside in their traditional tfrment as guestses, we recognize we benefit from living and working on their traditional home land. we wish to pay respects by acknowledging the ancestors, elders and irrelevant tifs of the ramaytush ohlone community and by affirming their rights as first peoples. thank you. jury room item 3. resolution 2022-08. discussion and possible action to adopt resolution making findings to allow teleconferenced meetings under government code section 54953e. >> i believe on my agenda that shows as item 2. not 3. item 2 was the lands acknowledgment. >> this is item 3. >> do we have public comment on this item?

>> >> yes. hello. >> my name is richard rothman i live in the outer rich manualed near station thirty-four. 2 things. one is i wanted to thank the fire department public ly on a 3 or 4 occasions we had to call the fire department in the paramedics to come to assist my wife before she passed away. every time they came they were always professional. and very kind and courteous. and -- really cared about one time my wife did not want to go to the hospital and they insisted and at this time probably saved her life. so, thank you fire department. the other thing is i live near the chain of lakes. before the pandemic i wanted to have the slow down on chain of lakes and the fire department said about the speed bumps. i'm worried about the chain of lake on friday afternoon. how can engine thirty-four get across the park or -- engines in the sunset? friday afternoon after 3:30 it is backed up sometimes to fulton street. i wish the commission would ask rec and park to not jfk at noon on friday and may be close it at 6 o'clock to reduce the traffic on the chain of lakes. and you know -- that's what it is for. to have engine companies and trucks so they can come kroosdz the park in case there is a need for that. and you know having the chain of lakes backed up adds extra time they have to go to the great highway and back up. and so i hope you communicate that to rec and park and thank you for letting me speak and have public comment at the beginning of the meeting. thank you. >> thank you. >> would you like to make public comment. why yes, thank you. >> commissioners. david with the rincon center. tenant's association. i reported to you last mont about a situation that we believe is dangerous and could also create very high liability. our concern is about the instructions blasted in the 4 to 500 residents homes. over the intercom that they sh -- ignore alarms that they hear. these instructions are associated with alarm testing somewhere else in the complex. those in charge know they are not testing or activating the alarms in the apartments. all we hash are the instructions telling us to ignore alarmless. that's risky people go out and don't hear all clear message that may come later. that happened to me twice. in the last several weeks. and they have done these announcements twice since i spoke with you last. you come back home and you have no idea what you are supposed to do if you hear an alarm. people will ignore a fire alarms. this can go on all day. there are day when is we heard 4 announcements without alarm in a day. this potential problem can be solved if the fire department would instruct all building managers and not tell ocpants to ignore alarm fist they are not going to hear the testing. it is common sense. we reported this to you and other than someone calling to ask we were not aware of resolution. i'm going to play for you an announcement. that we hear and ask that you imagine you work at night and hear this during the day when you are trying to sleep or imagine your infant fell arc sleep. and this is what come over.
