Shanahan. I want to stop your for a moment and really explain to action zero. Aron oliveira had an amazing [inaudible] on the phone copied earlier cummings being a little humble when he said that it was the dispatcher that did a great job just ask the right questions.

In which there are proposals that will be submitted for our review for the new design for station 35 which pier 22. 5 thats an allday review of looking at designs, functionality, and what we feel would work best if i am one of five panelists on that panel. So more to follow on that design and the criteria. Then, i know our favorite i believe chieffrom the airport has invited all of you on the 29th to the grand opening of San Francisco Fire Department International Airport station three. Which will be celebrated at 10 am on the 29th. That concludes my report. Thank you, chief. Any Public Comment . On this item . Commissioner covington thank you for your report, chief. I just want to know about the budget has the Budget Committee met recently . The Budget Committee has not met since we submitted our budget on february 21. I believe in anticipation of the meeting on april 27 there will be director course so will reach out to the Budget Committee and possibly convened a group. Certainly, we will bring backwere having ongoing discussions but theres nothing at this point thats been decided so were kind of in a week and see pattern but we are definitely intending to convene certainly prior to the mayors budget meeting on june 1 possibly before presentation on 27 april well, Budget Committee will be prioritizing particular budget items to share with the commission . So if you recall, we did submit our budget can we were asked for 3 reduction, which he responded to that we are open to further discussion. We were asked to reducetook some issue without giving our increase call volume and so forth. In terms of additional items, we did not submit additional items, if im following your question i see. Will you be submitting additional items equipped to to be determined i think at this point we have to fight for remaining status quo because again the ass and still is the asked that we look gatekeeper for reductions. So we have a prioritized list, which should be reviewed again by the Budget Committee i agree with you. I think at this point our priority right now is to hold firm on where we are at. All right. Definitely, we need to hold firm and i know that my fellow commissioners feel the same. In my conversations with the mayor, i have pointed out that from my perspective, i think we need to keep the academies going because we have so many people were going to be retiring very soon and i dont want to see any kind of falloff from us having really robust classes in the academy. Thats a good segue into complimenting everyone on us having 49 graduates. That is excellent. We need every last person zone looking forward to that graduation. Its just wonderful that we have our audienceour audiences and making up one longing to be in our department and see that some members of our community are having their dreams fulfilled by being selected by the chief of the department to enter the academy then to go through the graduation, it just a wonderful thing. Commissioner covington, thank you. We are in complete agreement with your comments about maintaining the hiring plan adobe fought collectively sought to get. Likewise, with our fleet replacement claim. We know all the efforts that we collectively put forward on that so those are definitely two initiatives or line items that we really dont want to compromise on given the number of retirements and given the fact that prolonged period of time we did not have Adequate Funding for our equipment and are free. Yes thank you. So the fire boat ais going to be looking at design and functionality and im pretty sure aesthetics as well but will you be coming back to the Commission Sharing portions of those discussions with us . Yes. Okay. I look forward to that. Thank you again for your report. Thank you commissioner covington good commissioner hardeman i will be brief mr. Pres. Thank you for your report, chief. I probably should ask you this over the phone but i just came to meapproximate, how far down the list did you get recently the old tablesi think you got to 850 last time. I dont know im just curious sure. The list is constantly being refreshed as a people coming off of it and getting onto it. Between 3504 three 4000 people on any given time so 30 504,000 eligible to be selected if it passed all the criteria . Correct. If they get for wrinkle 12, which i dont know i can agree with that score equates to, and on the eligible list. Since weve use the ntn National Testing network, process i have gone down to a score of 840 or level viii and typically commencing the highest score is level iii. So retired from the range between level iii and level viii. I knew how couple thats [inaudible] correct. I believe in you served in the us military is better Points Associated with that and thats incorporated into the score peabody they have their score and then the department of Human Resources there is that chance points given so in cases theyre always going to be there rank is going to be improved by the fact they serve their country and we have over the last several years hired a very High Percentage of military veterans. Very good. Thank you thank you commissioner hardeman. Chief, thank you for your report one quick question. The working group with kate howard that you are typing that you met with on the 11th, that is different from the ems response working group. Is that correct . It is two separate working groups . Yes. At some more of the private Providers Department of Emergency Management and then theres stakeholders like local 798. This is more about an increase and concerns, complaints, if you will made regarding street behavior, people feeling that not feeling safer trying to get point ato point b streets being blocked and so forth. The tense situation on the same caymans, that sort of thing. What about the traffic and just generally the Traffic Congestion . Week i will start bowing. Im happy to start that one. I know we have several takers on that. The working group on that although we work closely with the mta and there are a number of projects that weandrew good partnership, have agreed to a compromise on and there are some for the sake of access and her ability to get somewhere in a relatively short period of time. We stress our concern on some of those in the initiative. Thank you. Commissioner covington your final question . No. Im sorry [inaudible] okay. All right, thank you. Call the next item.

I have not heard of for a wild chief williams, anything about training facilities. I guess, at some point maybe that something you might give us a briefing on because as we go through all these classes, i still concern myself with our facilities and what we are going to do with that because we are always proactive within that projection. So, at some point, in your next report maybe could talk a livid about that. I agree and confer with commissioners that the budget and the classes are so important chief hayeswhite.
