Transcripts For SFGTV LIVE BOS Rules Committee 20161013

All right, good morning, everyone and welcome to our rules Committee Meeting of thursday, october 13th, 2016, i am tang, chairing this committee today, and to my left is supervisor cohen and we will entertain a motion to exexcuse mar later. And we would like to thank mark and jim from stgtv. Are there any announcements . Yes, silence all cell phones and Electronic Device and completer speaker cards and documents included to the files, should be submitted to the clerk and the items today will appear on the oblth, 25th board of supervisors agenda, could you call number one . Ordinance amending in the stafgs code to change the membership requirements for the Pedestrian Safety Advisory Committee, and to establish a sunset date. Could we get a motion to excuse, supervisor mar. Lets make a motion to excuse him. We will do that without objection. And now we are back to item one, which has been called. And i think that we have a representative back here. Good morning, i am the chair. And now what you have before you today, is something that we have worked on hard, and unfortunately this year, we have only had one meeting with the quorum. Because of what the administrative rules have, we have to have 18, we have to have at least, 12 people. When there is only, is 4 people appointed, at any particular time, it means that everyone has to be there basically. And we know that is not possible. And so we as a Committee Sat down and we went through and we looked at what we thought were things that had not been filled in years, and one seats that were duplicates. And what we came up with. We are really hoping that, you know, second is so important, and we cant get anything done. And we have resolutions and we want to pass, but without a quorum, we cant do that. You know, based and a lot of stuff that we wanted to do this year. And i have feel really good and i think that i have gotten all of the district seats filled which has not happened in a long time. So i worked really hard as the chair to get the seats filled. But we need your help to make it easier for have a quorum. On average, how many people are attending these meetings . We usually get, nine to eleven. But that is not a quorum. No, we sit there and count the people, you know, and door opens and is it another member . You know . And that is so frustrating when you have a committee as important as psac is. How are they interacting with vision zero. We are active in that. And we are always at vision zero and active with that. Okay. And then i also see that another requirement in addition to kind of reducing the number of seats is that any member who misses three regular meetings, within a six month period without express approval of the committee will or shall be deemed resigned from the committee. You know, with he have some and a couple of people that we dont see, and it is kind of frustrating when it is like where are they . That is why we wanted to put that in there also. All right, thank you for your presentation. I think that is, obviously we want these Advisory Committees to really serve their purposes, if you are not able to meet more than once a year, i think that these changes are fine. I have had to cancel the last two meetings because we were not going to have a quorum, the next meeting, our november meeting is on election day, we are not sure what we are going to do about that one yet. Here today, and the chair, kevin and one of the members, howard, and so, we hope that you will pass this along to the board so that we can actually do something. All right. You know, when i became th, r i had a lot of things that we wanted to do, but we have not been able to do them, because we have not been able to meet officially. Thank you. Thank you for your presentation. Do you have any questions or comments on this item . Okay, so seeing none, again, i think that it is straight forward but we will open it up to the Public Comment. If you want to comment on item one . Come on up. Hello, and high name is kevin, and i am the vice chair of the psac and as becky just stated, we have not been able to have an official meeting for a very long time because of the number of seats on our committee is 23. But we need to have 12 people to show up to have a quorum. And because a lot of other people have other commitments and other jobs that are not able to meet at this, and at the certain time on the second tuesday of each month, we are not able to pass any resolutions or have any important talks or meetings about Pedestrian Safety, and vision zero, which is what this committee was pretty much formed to deal with. And going, and as becky stated we need to reduce these number of seats, some of which are we have two seats for the bicycle committee, or whatever. And two for school, or is that right . Some of these are redundant and we dont need the double seats that one person can fill and be able to commit to meeting once a month. So we need to make sure that all of the people who are where the seats are filled with, are committed to vision zero and able to meet once a month. And have this quorum, so that we can pass the important resolutions and help you guys deal with vision zero, which is one of the most important things in the city. So, please pass this resolution, legislation and thank you for all of your hard work. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please . Good morning, i have been on the committee since it was official in 2003, and first i want to thank supervisor weiner for carrying the ordinance through to get the changes, the changes are simple, they really, by getting down to about 6 nonsupervisors these are 6 that are typically always filled, my seat, as for the transportation and the school and one school seat and obviously we need a bicycle seat and a Pedestrian Safety seat and the other two, but they are typically filled and eleven supervisors do a better job of filling their seats. And so then we have a quorum and that shows but we typically have 9 or 10, or 11 people out of the 14 appointees, that is good and we will go on and do the business and advice you and the mta and get the city safer and better for pedestrians thank you very much. All right, any other members of the public who wish to comment on item one. See none, closed. If we can get a motion to send this forward to the full board. Supervisor cohen . I will make that motion with a positive recommendation. And we will do that without objection. Item two. Hearing to consider appointing one member to the cannabis state task force. We have one seat and one applicant here and that is jennifer, i believe that she is not able to make it here today, is anyone here to speak on her behalf . Okay. So anything, none why dont we open this up to Public Comment. No i was going to actually, i thought that there was no one to speak on her behalf. I thought that i was going to make a motion. We will go to Public Comment. Seeing none, closed. And i would just say that this particular seat has a requirement that it is a representative of a labor union that represents employees working the cannabis industry from looking at her application, miss garcia does satisfy that requirement and i believe that she had originally wanted to app apply last time around, i would be fine be supporting her. Xurp cohen . I would like to make a motion to move to the full board a positive recommendation to appoint jennifer to seat one. And we will do that. Madam chair, that is also with the residence waiver. Yes, with the residency waiver. I didnt realize that. We will do that without objection. Thank you. Item three . It is the hearing to consider the term, ending november, 19, 2018, or the tenure of the nominating supervisor, whichever is shorter to the committee and one seat and one applicant. And we have charles. I am marks a pointment to the district two seat and i have lived in district two my whole life and i was born at california pacific on california street, and i grew up playing at the park and i attended the University High school and i continue to live in district two to this day, growing up i would ride my bake through the neighborhood. And i will be going to college, when i realized that i could influence the change on the streets that i was riding on. When i did arrive in la, i became fed up with the Transportation Options and the poor bicycle infrastructure, and back when the city was horrendous and that was for me, as an experienced biker, and other students would not touch a bike and would not want to go downtown or wherever, and it was difficult, so this really sparked something in me and by the end of my four years, i had created a fully funded and student staffed Bicycle Share Program which exists to this day, and close with advocates to influence the important street projects for the people walking and biking in the neighborhood. Now that i am back in stowers, i have been working pe San Francisco for year and a half and in this job, i work with the city agencies to organize the project and push them to completing. And it has given me a sense of how they come to fruition and how to mobilize the residents, to meet their needs, bike and walk, and people in cars. It is also, for the diverse residents of San Francisco. And their unique per pespectivp. And this has shown me that there is still much to be done to make the streets safer for all, and while i may feel okay riding on the streets that is not the case for many if not most. My little sister, for example, now she is in high school and wants to ride to become more independent and she is nervous, sharing the traffic lines and riding around in the cars, i think that the streets need to be safe and accessible. And whether that is my 14yearold sister or my neighbor with your nomination i will strive to the goal for making the street safer for all users in district two. Thank you for the thorough presentation and for your work while you are in college. I am happy to make a motion after Public Comment. So we will go to Public Comment then on item three. Any members of the public who wish to speak . Thank you. And seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor cohen . Thank you, i would like to make a motion that we move with the positive recommendation to appoint charles for seat two. And we will do that without objection. Thank you. All right, item four please . A hearing to consider appointing two members terms sending january 15, 201 , to the Health Authority. There are two seats and two after mri cants. We have eddie and maria luz. Torre. If you are here come up and make a present welcome mr. Kim. Good morning, supervisors tang and cohen, good to see you, my name is eddie and i am the current president and ceo of northwest medical service and taking care of 65,000 patients here in San Francisco, and 75 percent of them are at or near poverty. And have been working with them since i have been a ceo for eight years now. And we are really happy to be able to say that we have been able to put a majority of the visions in health homes and i think that when i first arrived, we had 50,000 patients and i think that we are up to close to 150,000 now. And i am proud of that and they are getting excellent here in San Francisco. I know that this is the reappointment and the same as seat ten as well. If you could describe what you would like to work on if you were able to be reappointed. Sure. Right now, i think that the baby boomers are really growing. And hopefully, we can do something with the health plan, in helping with the seniors. I think that the growth pattern, that we see for the baby boomers, are going to be expotential and so we have to figure out ways of providing that same type of Affordable Care for our senior population as well. All right. Good to see you eddie. Supervisor cohen. It is good to see eddie before us. Okay. All right then, and i guess that without any further questions and then we will move on to the next applicant . Thank you. Thank you. My name is maria luz. Torre i am the cochair of the San Francisco health plan and there are two of us as cochairs and cochairs are appointed by the governing board in the Health Authority. And i have cochaired the committee with three different people. And i am still doing it. My children were on medical when i start and when i started working, they were on Healthy Families because our income was up a little bit and then when the income went up, they were on the healthy San Francisco and now i am an ics provider and so for the first time, i am a member of the San Francisco plan before, it was my children. And i am also the organizer of the parent voices of San Francisco, and we served the low income family and we advocate for the children and their families and i know the struggles that the families go he through because i have been one myself. I feel one myself. And, we represent the consumers in the governing board. Or the Health Authority. And i think you are probably asking the same question that you asked eddie. And so, as a consumer representative, it is our obligation, me and ireen, who i cochair to represent the voices of the members of the health plan. Like one of the biggest issues that we have is access. And San Francisco and having universal coverage, and i think that the access is very important. We have many families who work three jobs, or work during the day or go to school, and may not be able to Access Healthcare for the children and so it is important that we provide the special care, and extended care up to 5 00 or on saturday and stuff like that. Maybe you can just talk more about some of the issues that you have been able to address, while serving in that role. All right. Yes, so as, and the committee chair, we facilitate the issues that the members bring to the gro group. It is not provided by the plan itself, and make sure that we bring in the resources and that the health plan provides the connection to the members. And so that they are able to access the dental care, because not a lot of providers want to do them in medical and the paperwork is just crazy. And one other thing, is that brings in the family and usually complain that going to the hospital or to the appointment is very difficult and they get like, and they are late for like ten minutes and then their appointments cancelled. But sometimes they are waiting for an hour. It is like they can wait for an hour but when they are late, their appointments cancelled and it is another three months before you can get an appointment and so we are bringing it up to the governing board and to our Quality Improvement people. My cochairs, in that committee. And so we want to make sure that these are addressed. And then, also we for instance, with regard to the formula, like sometimes a doctor prescribes a medicine and it is not in the formula, and so the access to the prescription will be instant, and sometimes members of the health plan were just like get frustrated and so we bring this up to the governing board. And sometimes, also the staff, because to coc comes to our Advisory Committee and here hears from the members directly, and so we facilitate that. And i have been on the cochair of the committee for so many years and i believe that my being there with the three different cochairs to provide the community. And it is an elected position by the member of the Advisory Committee and so i am honored to serve, and it is a volunteer position and i am honored to serve. Thank you so much for your service, supervisor cohen . Thank you, i just want to make a minute, to compliment you and i think that you have been an Outstanding Community leader and incredible coming from the community, and the Pacific Islander community and at times you are under represented in the last six years that i have been on the board you have been around and active. Whether in the volunteer capacity. Or in an appointed position and so i am happy to support you again today. Thank you. Thank you. Well, thank you so much for your presentation, and now we are going to go to the Public Comment to item four. Thank you, supervisors, my name is sumi from the San Francisco health plan and i just want to briefly say, that the San Francisco Health Authority is absolutely supportive of the reappointment of eddie and maria you have been outstanding Board Members and it was interesting to hear the pedestrians safety, advisory commission, issues because we have not had that problem, it is a volunteer board, and it is 19 members. But eddie and maria are among the most faithful members who really take the time, and the volunteers from a lot of time. To really help us in our duty and in our responsibility and in our passion, to take care of the low and moderate income people to make sure that they have access and, be sure that we hear the providers that take care of them and as wells the members that we serve and that will be like maria and they have done a fantastic job and we hope that you will support their reappointment. Thank you so much. Thank you. Any other members who wish to comment . Seeing none, comment is closed. I would love to make a motion to reappoint eddie for seat six with a residency waiver. Also to appoint, maria to seat ten. And we will do that without objection, congratulations. Item five . Hearing to consider appointing four members for a twoyear term to the Workforce Community Advisory Committee. There are four seats and three applicants as one has withdrawn. As the clerk stated Dalila Ahumada has withdrawn their application and so we have Elizabeth Simpson and debra mann and villy wang and if they could come up that would be wonderful. Good morning, supervisors. I am with the San Francisco conservation core. And i am a new executive director of the previous executive director has been there 25 years, and i have been the executive director since last april. I am not a resident, but i have worked both in the private sector, whereas with Morgan Stanley and i have been doing the Business Development here in San Francisco for about 15 years, and switch to the academic side and i worked at stanford and the university of San Francisco. And while serving in the university of San Francisco i was on the committee, that created the streets. And under the previous under i am trying to think of the mayor. And until we took that from a very idea to the full issue and now we have the sunday streets, as well, the San Francisco conservation core is the Workforce Development for the population, 1826 and we also run a Charter School for those who have dropped out of the Unified School District and then we do the career placement and then we have the employer relations and an academic component where we worked with the cools and do Workforce Development and so my full resume, there, and i also full disclosu disclosure, my daughter is qunichlt ncy man and volunteerd for supervisor cohen and wanted me to share with both of you at Lehi University and plays basketball and she was featured on the schedule. So any way, just so you know, loved her public experience and actually is studying Political Science and loved the grassroots building that she did this summer. I also want to speak on behalf of liz simpson. I am a new director here in San Francisco and liz has been a mentor. And so liz serves as the executive director at the success center, since 2010, she has gone from 450,000 budget to 2. 1 million. She is a resident of San Francisco. And educated at San Francisco state. And she began her Work Employment with the private investment, or the private Industry Council which was the predecessor of oewd and she is an expert in Workforce Development over the last 32 years and she was part of the grant that has secured 25 million for Youth Employment in San Francisco and she also worked with the San Francisco juvenile Probation Department for 16 years, creating job training, and programs at Log Cabin Ranch we also were at the ranch when we are doing the Workforce Development with the ten to 12 youth that they send there and we work with the Probation Department. And after retiring from the juvenile Probation Department, liz took on the appointment at success center.

Hi, good morning, supervisors tang and cohen, i am a workforce analyst with the office, and i am here because i will be staffing the Workforce Community, Advisory Committee. And we are very excited to get this committee off of the ground. And it has taken a little bit of time. But we believe that the candidates that we have in place represent you know, a wealth of expertise and knowledge in the area of Workforce Development in the city of San Francisco. So, we could not be happier, with the folks that we have proposed to be around the table to begin meeting hopefully in early november. And just to speak on behalf of billy wong. As a grantee of ours and the Community Based organization and on the sunset district, it is one of our highest performing grantees and i know that he has been there for many year and we rely on them for their expertise particularly in training and placement in the communications and information economtechnolog sectors which are growing and continue to grow in the city of San Francisco and so she brings a wealth of knowledge in that space, and so. I am sorry you said big hat sunset district. Isnt that correct . No that is not correct. That is in dog patch. She lives in the sunset. I am sorry. That is a nonprofit of phenomenal work that is happening on the south east. That is okay, that is what i am up for. But any way. High, performing grantee as our success center, and San Francisco conservation core, and so we are very excited about these three nominees. And hopefully you are as well. Great. Thank you very much. I am sorry that miss wang could not be here, but we are very familiar with the work and you know, really happy to see that she has applied. And so at this point, then, again, we have three applicant and four seats. We will go to Public Comment, unless there is any other questions for applicants . Okay. And i dont see any other members of the public here. So we will close Public Comment. And if we can get motion or several motions on this. Sure, what i would like to do first of all, i have had the opportunity to work with liz and villy for years and worked with mrs. Mann through the work of her daughter and as well as her taking the core, and these are phenomenal suggestions and we are in store for a really stal lar workforce committee, i would like to make a motion to appoint Elizabeth Jackson for seat two, mann for three, and wang to seat four. And for mann we would need a residency waiver as well. We will do that without objection, congratulations. All right, and so now, mr. Clerk, are there any other items before us.

May address for up to 3 minutes. You will hear a sigil chime with 30 seconds remaining. Please state your name and organization you are representing if any for the record. Are there any members of the public who would like to address the authority, please come up. Hunter cutting. Good afternoon. My name is tammy powers and have two businesses on tresh r island and today i represent the one, tammys chickgen waffals and to side note i just paid all most 600 in quarterly taxes so worth something to the city. I bring people together on chicken and waffals near the parking lot and churches. I bring people together on the island, different businesses. Mark dunlop director is one of my best customers and comes in once or twice a week and gets awesome waffals from me. I have a concern i hope to bring to your attention is quh wh i do evening shifts i open in the morning to the bike shorp in the afternoon and waffals in the evening and when iope chb in the evening there are numerous tour bus squz numerous limousines and the limousines park in the parking lot where my business is and they open up the trucks and set umdisco balls so have a party y and drinking in the parking allot. It is a parking lot, not a party lot. I dont mind if they took the pictures but they let the people to party in the parking lot which my customers need to park. There are other parking lots on Treasure Island which i asked them to go to and party all they want, but this is directly effecting my business. I also called the police on numerous occasions to see if they can deal with the problem and 24 police explained to me since they are tourist who spent lots of money to have fun we will not bother them and that took me aback a bit because im a local resident who paid a lot of money to be in business, so i expect a give and take and if ii think the driver should be warned like dont park in the parking lot or take the drinking down the rose or the police need to emphasize im here to do business because limoes dont bring money to the island. Once they bought a cup of coffee. Most people go into the minee market so cant complain about them being there, but the limoes downtown and this is a big thing even on saturday night with fleet week there were limousines that had to make a u turn. They back td up and made the u turn and more come on and come through the big log jam and a ambulances couldnt go anywhere. It rfs stuck because nothing is done by the limousines or buses and something needs to be paid attention to please. Approximate it. Thank you. Hunter cutting. Good afternoon directors. Im here to share news about burke coferb. As you may have heard the San Francisco bay keeper is conducting review of the gepers proposal to constrrt to a prive ate marina. Bay keeper is wildly recognized as a champion of the San Francisco bay. That review is complete and bay keeper issued the fiendings and they condemned the developer proposals in clear and no uncertain terms. I have here a letter from eric [inaudible] the managing attorney for bay keeper i will submit to public record. It goes into legal analysis which i will not drag you through but would like to highlight a couple findings. One, the proposed marina will dramatically reduce Public Access to clipper cove and dramatly impact the current users of clipper cove. Two, it is likely the Environmental Impact report back from 2006 will have to be revised to account for changes in the cove and changes in the marina proposal since 2006. And to account for potential Water Quality impacts och increasing motorized boat traffic that the twnt 076 eir didnt cover. I want to give the final take away recommendation and will read it verbatim. Before finalizing approval of the project, responsible agencies should insure any proposed project protects current users and character of clipper cove as a Community Resource. The Treasure Island Sailing Center and saiv clipper cove developed alternate proposals. The first by sierra club will double the [inaudible] in the cove. Oorlth was offered as a compromise that will triple the size of the cove. The San Francisco examiner covered this proposal and want to introduce that into the record as well. However, the developer have ignoreed these proposeals. We learned the developers have resubmitted their mega marine aproposal to california boating and waterway squz prush push for a decision in early december. This is a attempt to run stakeholder jz push the mega marina through. This approach is not limited to developers. Tida staff defended the mega marina. The current marina takes up 7 percent of the cove. The 2006 will take up 40 percent and new will take up 57 percent the cove. You have a run away project on your hands and it is your sfaublt and urge you to get the project back under control. That thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next. Good afternoon commissioners. My name is jay wallace on here on behalf of dresher island enterprise marine adeveloper and been here many times. There was a loti feel like Hillary Clinton because what you just heard is not the facts. The mariney has shrunk and last week when we met with the Treasure Island Sailor Center, the proposal in front of the division and boating and waterways is not the 400 slip it is 349 slip. We met twice with the Sailor Center and reduced the marina since we last saw you. The marina is not 5 7 percent larger. I dont know the percentage bullet can tell you we started between 2002 and 6 it was 21 lineal feet. When it was approved i believe it was 1800 lineal feet. Over the course of discussionwise the Sailor Center when chwe engaged in good faith and reduced fraem 1800 to 1700 to 16 hundred and believe the current lineal feet but could be wrong but i believe the lineal feet of last week when we presented curisa harris and dave [inaudible] is approximately 1200 feet. We have shrunk and the only ones who have shrunk. The Sailor Center has grown. When wree started they asked us to give a 1600 diemter circle to sail in which we accommodated. They came back and wanted another 500 feet, we actually reduced the size of enema renea again to accommodate that or just about, i think we got to 486 feet. Over the course of the last 3 our 4 months we met with the Sailing Center on two occasions and reduced again and again and when we met last week for the first time the Sailor Center told us they dont want 1600 feet or 21 hundred feet, now they wanted 2400 feet of sailing area. The pro posal in fronts of them didnt get them to 2400 feet, i got to 2386 feet. Approximately 98 percent of what their most current ask was, not the ask earlier that you first heard about and not the original ask so to hear someone say this is a mega marine athat has only gotten larger is not even close to a fackual statement. The proposal because i wrote it and my partner signed it and know what is in division of boating and waterway calls for 300 slip marina that is shrunk. She says there is 500 slip marine athat is never there since day one, it is 400. I wanted to respond. We are working very hard and trying to work close ly with the Sailing Center and have multiple goals including folks who want to anchor in Treasure Islands because it isnt just the Sailing Center or hunters people or the marina, there are many user jz trying to accommodate them all so thank you very much. Thank you, mr. Wallace. Let me just say that we definitely do want to see there be a negotiated solution that hopefully will resolve the issues between the two, but this is not before the board right now. It will be a calendared item at the right time. Im sorry. Madam president , you have our assurance that from our side we are doing everything in our power to find a fair and reasonable negotiated settlement because it should happen. Thank you. Next person, please. I wasnt planningmy name is [inaudible] im the vise comdor of treasure yacht club. Been involved with the club about 4 years as a member and sailor and a boater. I wanted to support the development of the marina notto the best of my knowledge i have seen mega marinas, this will be not be a mega marinas. I have been following the negotiation process between there two involved parties and think the compromise is important but also believe the size of the marina today has limited our ability to be able to grow as a club. We arefor the new director we have been on the islands as a yacht club over 50 years. Treasure Island Yacht Club was a club for many years until twn yearatize was civilian yacht club. We are small and humble and most live on the islands and retired and have small to midsize boats. The opportunity to grow the marina, grow the community and yacht club, we were the first to have a sailorsent squr support them and think it is a Wonderful Program and like to integrate more with the sailing club so support but are limited with the dredging issue squz the size of the marina itself, so we love to see it be considered not just a Sailing Center as the only party, that we as a club very humble and one of the smallest and cheapest clubs open to the community and become much more involved with the community and bring a lot of business so just wanted to say that. Thank you. Thank you. Next. Patrick regen. Hello. My name is Patrick Regan and director of Business Development with a nonprofit called tool work squz came down to say thank you to each of you and to the tida staff and just say that your support over the years has had a great impact on us being able to provide Economic Opportunities to the many people with disabilities that we serve and also Homeless Individuals so thank you. Thank you, it is nice to get a compliment once in a while. You provide Great Services as well, so thank you for being on the island. Anybody else who would like to address the board . Hearing none, next item. I apologize, commissioners any comments . Thank you. Not quite sure if it is our usual standard comments after this, but i appreciate that you allowed me that. I just one thing because there is just facts, it seems to be numbered that can easily be verified, perhaps our staff could put something together for us so we can look and compare and numbers are numbers and i think somebody said facts are tricky things. We can certainly put together cal culations and stats on the evolution of the marina proposal over the years mpt if i can say mr. Dunlop this item will come before the board for consideration and decision and want to have all the information there at that time but i think that first we need to know what it is that is being brought before the board and i know the two groups are certainly discussing and i hope our staff is also helping that discussion as well. I understand as well that it has to go to bcdc for review and approval as well. When the right moment comes we will consider the matter and make our decision at that time. Yes, and i thought maybe at the last meeting we did ask for just a informational agenda item sometime. Maybe im wrong about that, but i thought maybe we had and perhaps it will come up next month or Something Like that. This is on our list of tomics tomic topic tooz bring back to the borebd and matter oof discussing appropriate timing. It isthere are active discussion going on and plans under revision, but ill with fay lenda and bring a update. I noticed you did write to us telling us bcdc did agree for the major permit, is that right . Hat is in the report. It will be in my report. This item is not the agenda but for the public, we have been engaged and asked the parties since july last year to go into negotiation so the negotiations i believe are still going on and we are still very receptive to make sure the parties continue to negotiate in good faith and everybody and i mean pin good faith. All parties come together. At that point when all the negotiations are done, that is when i want to see anything so my time is not wasted and the commissioners and staff. We are going beyond the call of duty here, so letwhen you are ready, bring it back and by then we will look at all the facts, it will be a public hearing and then well decide where to go next. Thank you. Mr. Dunlop you have a question . Yes, i did and that is on tammys talk. Not just chicken and waffals, but on the limo issue and i hope that it isnt a conflict because i do enjoy one of the waffles maybe twice a week is qu they are very good. I dont think that is a conflict though. But , i am a resident on the island and i talked to tammy about this in the last week that there is a issue there and im not sure what, how to handle it. We want tourism and peep tool come and enjoy the island t is a beautiful view at night, but again, having been by there at night and hearing very loud music and the lights and disco ball squz all that, im not sure if that is appropriate for that parking place and not sure if we get or can get any rent at least and also have some sort of contractual agreement to have control over how the limos effect the people who live on the island because it definitely has an effect as far as traffic and noise issues. That is perhaps for a future item, but just wanted to mention that as tammy brought it up. Thank you. Thanks. Next item, please. Item 3, report by Treasure Island director. Thank you directors. The october of course is a busy time of year on the island. Last month on the 24th and 25th Treasure Island [inaudible] made the debut on the east side of the island. And last week we had large clouds for fleet week saturday and sunday and slightly smaller crowds during the practice runs thursday and friday. This weekend is the Treasure Island music festival, which will be its 10th perform squns perhaps final performance but expected to be sold out crowd so large crowds this weekend on the island. In terms of aminities on the island, we now have a barber shop on the island. Bruce bruce has opened adjacent to the new Treasure Island cove market location on avenue h, so it is another Community Hub for us. Also, the events venue and restaurant on california avenue, which was formally called the oasis is reopening under newmanagement and a new name, which is denalov. The cafe will over november 2 and will use the event space at dena lov fl Board Meeting so give Board Members a opportunity to see the new venue. Wethis past mujt we completed preplacement of force main in the residential area on the island. We had a cracked line we have been operating with a temperary bypass line and work is complete and restoration should be completed this week, the soil restoration. We are also work wg the sf fpuc to analyze fees charged in our new commercial leasesthy that go into effect december 1 so will bring new rates to the board. We are bringing input for the citys 10 year capital plan. Two years ago tida still didnt own assets on Treasure Island but substantial portions are transferred we will incorporate information into the Capital Planning program. Also, worked with sf environment, the integrated Pest Management Program Staff this past month and met are rubicon to continue their outreach and education work with our landscape provider. Their focus this winter is on management of invasive weeds, particularly in hardscaped areas. Also at the september Housing Partners meeting, Peter Summerville of our staff led a discussion based Emergency Response exercise based in large part on the water main break we had several years ago, but just leading people through a conversation how they work under the current Emergency Response plans in terms of identifying a staff lee aiz on for incident management and asaysing the condition of their portfolio. In terms of the bay bridge, the ybi westbound ramps from east bay to the island and from the island to San Francisco, i think you all received with the excension of sam an invitation to the event on the 21 which is celebrating completion of that work. The ramps will open saturday the 22 and on sunday the 23 we anticipate cal trains will open the bike path from east bay to the island and working with mtc to have a Shuttle Service from the landing area down to Treasure Island and well talk about that later in the agenda. We are also working with Transportation Authority to do improvements around quarters 9 on the coast guard property and that will be discussed in one of the items today. Response to director dunlops question, we did receive bcdc approval for the major permit for the Land Side Development program, so all of the development that ticd will do to construct the cause way and park squz open space around the island, all the improvement s that fall within bcdc jurisdictionern approved eat the september 15 not in the scope or water side improvements the mariney will do. It did cover the Ferry Terminal so that was covered. On the 20th of september we closed on the second Land Transfer with the navy. Not a very large compared to the first land trnzfer but included hanger 3 on the southern waterfront. We introduced the cfd and irfd to board of supervires and will touch on that in a later igenda item and jill manten from the San Francisco Arts Commission led a Community Meeting on island last friday to discuss the arts master plan process for the island. The target for this meeting is islands Arts Community and will have a follow up meeting in San Francisco on november 17th and ill schedule her to come to the tida board to discuss that as well. On the construction side, at t t has a cable that come tooz the island and crosses the island impacted by development and they rin the process of installing a temporary relocation of that facilities until we complete the getechnical work and install permanent facilities in the subphase areas that temporary relocation is expected to be complete by the end of the month. The dim ligz of the northern most of the star barracks is complete. The structure is entirely gone. The dim ligz contractors are in the process of separating the rebar and hauling off for recycling and abatement of the Southern Star barrack is also complete and that dim ligz should start next week the structure it self. The Geo Technical package for Treasure Island for the first subphase area and reconstruction the cosway is also released for advertising and the cmt is coordinated with job Core Property and with sfmta the latter being on the plan relocations of the 25 muni route stops over the course of construction. On the lucas museum, we ainitiated a environmental application with Planning Department to evaluate impacts focused primarily on the transportation impacts of the project. We are working with ticd to evaluate alternate sites for the chapel if that work moves forward. And that conclude my report. Good. Thank you. I would just like to say that i was at the bcdc meeting on september 15th, it was a major milestone to finally get the permit to do the land side improvements and i just wanted to note for the commissioners here, and also the public how very laudtory the commission was of the plan that we have for Treasure Island. They have actually adopted it as a standard for other cities around the bay. As you know, that plan for sustainability and Sea Level Rise has won all sorts of awards including the Clinton Climate Initiative and think we ought to be very proud of our team and our Staff Members who put that plan together andtle is really something that we are implementing it now. They voted for it unanimously, i think there was one abstention so want today bring back those comments from the bcdc board to let you know. And then the other items is that the ramp ceremony will be on the 21 as bob said and that will be a celebration and my understanding is that assembly men david chiu and scott wiener and jane kim will be in attendance so hope the Board Members will be there for that event. I think kate 10 a. M. 10 a. M. And the public is invited as well. Are theremrs. Richardson. Thank you, commissioners. Again, i ust and want to take the opportunity to congratulate this staff and fellow xhigdsers and developmental partners and all those that are involved with the bcd crurks provals as commissioner fei tsen mentioned it is a major mileston. All the work that goes on that people are not aprized of may take in all och this. Again, we want the lead platinum and still waiter for price conference to really let the public know it is okay a lot of times people come in and try to tell us what we need to do and we listen and try to accommodate aerfb everyone but the bulk of 24 work going on daily to interagency coordination and trying to build Treasure Island, one of the most signature projects not only the u. S. But in the world. It is a lot of rfts so when we reach critical milestones i want everyone to know we reached that. With all this thrks opening of the ramp, the lead platinum, the tool works, all the work development, everything we are doing at some point we want to be the chair leaders and make the public get that information. I go around the city and get asked information that i know that we are doic, so i want to work with you mr. Bob and we need to look at this. How we issue our own press conference when we need to and how we going to pubalize all of this so with we encounter the challenges people know we have information out there about the positive things going on with this development. Congratulations to everyone that is involved. Thank you. Any other comments . Hearing none, next item, please. Item 4, communications from and received by tida. There were communications from the navy and sfpuc and residential advisory news letters and publications among others. Mrs. Richards. Any other comments on this item . Hearing none, next item.

All matders constitute routine by the Authority Board and acted upon by the single vote of the authority bord.

B, resolution approving the modification of memorandum for understanding between the Treasure Island and development of authority and the Public Utilities commission. E, resolution and authorizing lease with fcp associates for 10 thousand square foot piece of space at the great lawns to development and operate container restaurant facilities. Are there comments from the board . Mr. Mazzola. Like to politems e and hear that separately. Item e, okay. If we could have a vote on the rest of the Consent Agenda from the ae. My motion is for approval assessment vaept the one that is pulled. Sectd 6789 second. All in favor say aye. Opposed . Ayes have it. I want to politem e because this was on the agenda last month as an agenda item. Now it is on as a action item and want to reiterate my opinion that i voiced last month that this is a temporary structure, it will be there for some time and last month i voiced my opinion on how i feel about Modular Construction and this will be in fact a modular restaurant and it was pointed out to me last month, yes it is temporary, but it is a 3 year lease and they could reup that for 3 more after that dependent on what happens, so it could be here some time and want to get my opinion out again this month that i think that Modular Construction on any level or any size isnt the way to go in San Francisco. I think that it goes against San Francisco value squz think all the jobs get shipped elsewhere and maybe done cheaper but you pay what you get for and thichck the jobs should stay here and built here so will vote no on the item and want to pull it to reiterate what i said last month. Do we have comments from the staff . Richard [inaudible] negotiated the lease and can respond to questions. I think you want to summarize the lease . Basically what we are looking at doing is a three year lease to provide a modular restaurant type facility as board member mazzola mentioned utilizing storage containers. The location is on the existing location is close to 9th and avenue of the palms and it is a deal we put together utilizing a group of folks that have the expertise and sort of marketing and overseeing restaurant. They are pretty successful in San Francisco. We have on the design aspect of it, tidy will e tida will participate creating the restroom facility where we are going look to dpw to install toilets and bringing in electricity to the restroom facility so that work will be done on site utilizing existing dpw staff and employees. So, we have heard that part of it and that is something that is within our control that we can be able to do. So, we like the item to move forward and think it is a good deal for tida and great deal for the residents that will provide a new eatery on the island to replace the trusher island cafe that will close end of november. If you have any other questions thank you for your comments. So, i am all for a new restaurant on the island and appreciate you saying that dpw workers will be used under the work you dont control this modyrm unit will come and be done all plumbing and roughed and sheet muttal roughed in the electrical is done elsewhere at a lower wage, prevailing wage, not anything like that. It doesnt protect the workers in San Francisco or local higher so those are my concern jz why i cant vote for modular small or big. Understood. Mr. Dunlop. Thank you very much. Yeah, yf do share concerns about the work and the both the quality and thedoes it meet our standards in california and the people who are doing the work, which basically so what i get or what it says here is, we are using a container. Let me just answer. The building specifications will be overseen by department of building inspection so will go through from a code compliance standpoint it will meet code complinets consistencies. The employis of the restaurant, do we know will that be a shift from the people already at the t bag which is what it is known as, Treasure Island bar and grill, is that an agreement there or not . As part of the overall plan, the folks from fcp are working on a Partnership Agreement with tid i to use labor and participate with their program so training component with regard to the restaurants and plans to integrate those employees to the workforce with the new facilities. In regards to having a container there, if we just didnt want a container there, are there any other options . That area will be under construction and all everything is temporary in that location so if we do ground up construction it isnt wise mptd if we want something tothis location is we got probably 3 years in the location and then chances are we probably move to some other location and so thebeing able to transport the facility from one spot to the next is key in this overall project. Basically it is this or nothing . Pretty much. Thank you. Mr. Richardson. Again, i know we do respect to commissioner mazzola, lets try to get the facts. This space, Treasure Island is under construction and as you heard we can do without having a restaurant and that will not be responsible so we are going the temporary because we cannot construct any permanent structures yet. I think we are getting into fundamental questions here or issues regarding modular. I think the underlying issue is it is beyond the commission and they are trying the development throughout not just in california, throughout the country as to where modularsome of the benefits you get to to this and all that but that is nothing we are not equipt to go through that now. It is a issue that development and the labejure all them have to deal with. We cannot deal with that. Also, for this particular project, lets look at the community benefits. The opponent we have in place is tidi is a partner and get disandage and job training and all things that go into this rather than just leave the space so sometimes we need to outweigh the public larger benefits and some of this projects which then enhance some the other or mitigate some of the other issues we may have. It becomes a [inaudible] trying to do this. If this were a [inaudible] without all the goodies attached to that that we are getting. This project had all these things billed to make it even Larger Community benefit and sometimes the Bigger Picture is what we need to look at so i feel that we can move this project forward because of the temporary nature and issue of modular is one we here are not equipted to deal with. That is something that must be dealt with but San Francisco is building modular and they pullic comps on both sides and hopefully those looks at development in california and on the labor side will get together and try to resolve this bigger issue. San francisco employees cannot build modular and that is the bottom line. My motion is to approve this, again, this is a temporary project. We have a motion and second, but we still have discussion. I want to go on the record to voice my support in spirit to director mazzola and i doi am concerned when we do cut corners, but i do also understand this is a temporary structure and that to do a ground up to utilize more permanent workers to do this is probably not feasible and i like the fact that dpw workers will do the work on the restrooms and the tidi will also be a part of this overall praumgect project so will be supporting this but do want to go on record and voice my support pin spirit to director mazzolas concerns about this. Okay. So before we take a vote, can we hear from the public if there is Public Comment . You can do so now. Yes. Good afternoon. Shirry williams with Treasure Island Homeless Development initiative. I havei was trying to figure out what my remarks will be because i am very sympathetic to commissioner mazzolas comments, but like commissioner richardson and samaha noted this is a temporary facility and for us it put together a training program, the partnership with the other partners. If was it permanent it would be better for us but the fact is thiland is in the interim Development Process right now and we are trying to figure a way to have a restaurant to serve the island and trying to figure job training with people with disabilities and barriers to employment and the container is the only solution rchlt we cant build a new building there and now that would accommodate prevailing wage and so forth which we would whole heartedly support. I think im echoing what commissioner samaha said of supporting the spirit of what director mazzola said, but saying we understand the temporary nature and we too like to see maybe things be different but the fact is that this is a temporary site and we are excited about having this employment and Training Opportunity for people in the interim base squs hope it leads to something long lasting. Thank you. Thank you. Now we heard the comments, we will take a vote on this. Kate, do you need to restate the resolution . Sure. Item 6 a, resolution approving and authorize the execution of lease number 1033 with fcp associates for 10 thousand square feet of space at the great lawn to development and operate container restaurant facility. I think we got motion and second and so all in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed. Jurks no. The ayes have it. Next item. Item 7, resolution establishing a Ad Hoc Nominating Committee consistent of 3 members of Treasure Island Development Authority board of director to nominate officers to surfb one year term. Al so, every year we reappoint officer tooz the the board and propose to form the Ad Hoc Committee we propose to meet prior to december Board Meeting and hold the election officers to had december 4th meeting. I would like to have the nominating committee be consist of myself, mark dunlop and larry mazzola. If you agree to be on the committee that will be the committee for nominations. I accept. Second. Do we need to vote . We have a motion and second. I second it. Okay. All in favor say ayes. Aye. Opposed . The ayes have it. Next item; and item 8 approve and authderizing memorandum of agreement from Treasure Island Development Authority and San Francisco county Transportation Authority to compensate the authority for cost relating to Yerba Buena Island vista point Operation Maintenance trachic control, security and shuttle from november 1, 2016 to june 30ic 2017. Good afternoon madam chair, rich ruvety Treasure Island Development Authority. Today we request board approval of memorandum agreement between tida and San Francisco county Transportation Authority, sfcta to compensate authority for had cost relating to the ybi vista point operation and services for the period from november 1, 2017 to june 30, 2017. In december of 2013, sfcta as San Francisco Congestion Management Agency approved award of the ybii 80 east side ramp construction contract. The contractor started working january 2014. The oakland bay bridge bike pedestrian paith is scheduled to open prior to completion of the ybii 8 0 ramp project. Include temporary facilities such as restrooms, hydration stations, public seating and viewing areas. These improvements will take place at u. S. Cost gourd court 9 for use of bicyclist and pedestrians on Yerba Buena Island. I want to show you if we got here as part of the areas we are looking at with regards to the overall ramps. This is one of the frunltage views of the bike ramp that comes to Yerba Buena Islands as you can see both sides. These are some of the areas that we are doingthere will be a turn around quarter 7 is in thequarters 9 is in the area where it is directed as the house, there is a little garage area dollar there so if you look to the left the garage there is a restroom trailer facility area and just sort of east of that there will be public viewing area surrounding that area for folks to congregate. Project staff and sfcta negotiating the moa is basically utilize tida resources, the expanded services inqulud janitorial service, which will result in tida expanding agreement with tool works to provide Daily Services and provide materials and supplies. Expand our Overall Service agreement with rubicon to expand landscaping contract to provide routine service to the vista point area. Also, for tida to work through the villages to expand Security Services agreement with admiral crurt security. We looking to have round the clock security 7 days a week for the month of november. After shortly reducing that to 12 hour shift 7 day a week from december through june 30. We are also expanding our contract to provide Restroom Facilities with [inaudible] sanitation to provide a temporary restroom facility there as well. And then we also built into the contract Shuttle Service component. The Shuttle Service will run from the area located on the great lawn area so there is a great lawn parking lot area that we with are looking creating starting point for folks to park the cars, get in a shuttle and be directed to this location on ybi. Lastly, Traffic Control expanding Service Agreement with sfmta to provide pcos in the area as needed. The total cost that we are looking for all the scope of work is not to exceed 434 thousand over the contracted period. Again, at no cost to tida. We are reimburseed by sfcta. With that, welike to move forward and recommend approval of the memorandum of agreement with sfcta. This is absolutely wonderful that we now have a connection between the east bay and Treasure Island and this is something which the Bicycle Coalition on both the east bay side and San Francisco side have been working towards and the fact that you did work with them to get the shuttle from the vista point down to the avenue of palms during the period of time while under going infrastructure improvalments that is also something which the bicyclist wanted as well. This is wonderful to see. We have comments from had rest the board . Mrs. Richardson. This is what i alluded to that tida is actually the major sponsor of all these projects and sfcta and that agency has done a wonderful job, so i think that this is worthwhile. The only question i want to and, in the mou there is a reimbursement so the 400 400 thousand is what we give now and what is the amont that will be reimburseed and which agency . Sfcta will reimburse tida dollar for dollar so over dollar spent is reimburseed. This is like a loan. We utilizing existing resources on the island. Again, this is worthwhile and has major benefit and enhance what we are doing and the public im sure will be extremely pleased. That is why tida should take the helm and again publicizing all these things that the public are going to be enjoying. Mr. Dunlop. Yes, i justis there like a official opening day like a Ribbon Cutting thing, maybe the mayor and cities . Yeah, i mentioned during my directors report cal trans is planning opening the bike path on the 23, two dates following the ramp ceremony. They are not planning a separate ceremony for the bike path, but i expect on that sunday well have a big turnout. Ill be there. Wonderful. Any comments from the public . Please come up. Please come up. Please give your name rflt. Curious if this is the land directly own over clipper cove . No. Okay. If i can make a comment if it were because it looked like it was that a investment be made to go to clipper cove from the overlook area, which i think it is. My brother was over the weekend on his boat and looked like a part of San Francisco that couldit is great place to be and it has very very old stairs that are dangerous on the way down, so. Event there will be great connection of the bike pathway squz working on the planning for that and when Treasure Island is fully operational there will be a wonderful bike pathway that will connect. This location is on the south side of the island so where the eastern span connects to the east end of Yerba Buena Island, so it is the building shown in the diagram is coast guard property. The area above clipper cove as part of the i mentioned Geo Technical contracting during my comments out to bid, that contract will reconstruct the cosway and part of the project there will be a ada pathway sfraum the intersection of clipper cove boulevard and cosway to the beach as well as the stairs will be reinstructed as part of that work. Interesting because there is a new building under construction there now. That existing build ing was are located but the area just below that building down to Treasure Island, the soil in that area will be reconstructed. Okay. Mr. Dunlop. I bow that path very well and it is really unsafe. Probably should be blocked off, but it also just to assure when thinks are moved it will change and be safe and another great way to access clipper cove and just beautiful because you go through trees so it is really kind of like parallel as the Golden Gate National park by golden gate bring. There is great pathways and remeends me of that. It will be so incredible when it is done. So moved. We have a motion. Second. Allthosis those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed . The ayes have it. Item 9, resolution authorizing Treasure Island director to submit resolution of intent to board of phrvisors to initiate the formation of Community Facilities district and infrastructure and revilealization financeish district and take other actions in connection there with. Directors, bob beck just wanted to bring the item back and to really for a point of clarification today. In august we heard the board approve moving forward with resolution oaf intent to form the ifd and cfd on Treasure Island and the City Attorneys aufss recommended we bring the item back just to clarify that that resolution authorized myself to move forward with all of the steps necessary to form the districts beyond the resolutions of intent but also the resolution of formation and the election of the Property Owners within the district areas. For members the public who may not have seen the prior item, the Treasure Island program of course includes development of 8 thousand homes up to 500 hotel rooms and half million square feet of commercial space but also significant range of Public Benefit including 300 acres of open space, a new Ferry Terminal and other transit facilities and entirely new roadway system and utility system on both Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island as well as Geo Technical improval nlts, see rr level rise adaptation and other public infrastructure. The financing plan in the dda called for us to form infrastructure finances district and Community Facilities district to reimburse Treasure Island Community Development for qualified project costs in developing pub lb infrastructure. We have been working with Controllers Office and the developer and outside consultant over the last year to prepare sfr the formation of these districts. The ifd works out of the property tax that is collected, the tax increment collected from the island during the future which includes the 1 percent property tax as well as other bond general Bond Obligation bond and other assessments on the property. What we are doing under the ifd with the adlorm property tax, 35 percent of that tax goes to other agencies and to the state while 64. 7 percent comes to the city and county of San Francisco. Under our financing plan, 56. 7 percent of that tax is dedicated to the ifd and the additional 8 percent that will otherwise flow to general fund but subordinated to the financing of the ifd. The cfd assesss supplemental tax on properties to fund Community Facilities and infrastructure so that is a tax above and beyond the standard 1 percent property tax. At our august tenet meeting the board authorized submission of resolutions of intent to form districts and on august 29 the city Capital Planning committee endorsed the formation of the districts and on the 25th of september the Mayors Office introduced to the board of supervisors the resolutions of intent and supervisor kim has agreed to sponsor those rez solutions. And last friday, the 7th we mailed out the draft infrastructure financing plan to bart and bay area air Quality Management district as other taxis entities. So, complete thg formation process, the initial resolution of intent include 5 resolutions to complete the formation process. Will require public hearing for each district a vote of the Property Owners within the dirsricates which are tida and Treasure Island Community Development and board of supervisors approval of additional 10 resolution jz two ordinances. Each of the resolution jz ordinances are prescribed actions by the board under cfd and irfd law. This proposed resolution is intended to clarify as i mentioned im authorized to move forward with the election process for the two districts. Terms of the schedule for moving this through the board of supervisors, next week trying to work with Mayors Office to introduce additional resolutions and ordinances necessarily to complete the formation. The first 5 resolutions will be heard next wednesday at budget and finance committee and the following week at the full board. November 2, 1 of the resolutions in the second package to approve the infrastructure financing plan will be heard at the board of supervisors and two weeks latersorry, budget and finance and two weeks later at full board. The hearings and elections are proposed all take place at the december 6 meeting of full board followed by a second reading of the two ordinances the following week. With that, i can take any questions you have. Any questions, comments from the board . Mr. Dunlop, just just a quick questions. Im confused why we are doing this. Is there a erroro need today be clarifyed. What exactlyyou said they thought that the board tida should get more information. The original resolution authorized myself, the director to introduce the resolutions intent and take additional action to form the districts. In talking with council they that thought it was best to clarify explicitly that im authorized to vote on behalf of the authority. I see. It wasnt a big error rsh just just clarifying the other actions to form the district. Thank you. Mrs. Richardson. Mr. Bob beck, this is moving really great. All the major stakeholders, the Mayors Office is acting promptly and now the board of supervisors will be taking this matter and i think we discussed this at length at the commission a couple week squz very comforting that the process is moving forward. So, at the end of december hypothetically when we think that the full board will get to make their final approval or vote on the matter and then what we would like for you to have is after the final board vote and then have a broader schedule as to now what. How do we proceed with this now that we are given the blessing to go forward and im sure there the other subsequent discussions you will bring back to us. One of the things that will also be helpful at some point is let us have a copy of all the resolutions. Thank you. Absolutely. So, the matters before the board, is there Public Comment . Hearing none, can i have a motion and second for this resolution. Jerk move and sectd. All in fairfb say aye. Ayes. Opposed. Ayes have it. Item 10, sfcta tida Tree Planting agreement. We have been working with mou with again with the county tran portation authority didnt quite have the item finalized today and likely bring it back in november as consent so want today present to you today to field any questions you may have. Forthered ro, peter [inaudible] tida staff. As director beck mentioned, we like to give background on larger moa that will come back to you next muckt for approval. As you are aware, sf county tran portation authority is wrurking othen west bound ramp construction project. As part of that project they removed 300 trees on Yerba Buena Island and are unable to replant the trees within the boundaries due to site restrictions imposed by the coast guard and cal trans and conflict with tidc development. They did wish to demonstrate to the larger eco system and proposed to replant these 300 trees elsewhere on the island. As part of those naish aations identified it will be more efficient to have those trees included in the larger revegetation work tidy and ticd are undertaking and staff is working to negotiate moa memorandum agreement betwoon tida, ticd and tca to memorialize the terms to obligation to purpose and install costs associated with purchase and installation of 300 trees elsewhere on Yerba Buena Island, tida is obligation administering the overseeing of 3s and receiving the funding or credit from tida and punchs purchase and installation of trees on the larger revegetation plan. The next slide shows a picture you are familiar of the ybi ramp praiblg. Areas of impact where the trees were removed include the detor roads and mb 1 and 2 detory roads. The reasoning among others regarding the coast guard in california and site restrictions had to do with site security around the bridge structure and also camera site lines from Yerba Buena Island to San Francisco bay utilized by the coast guard vessel traffic service. The next slide shows the proposed species and counts among the 300. You will see familiar names such as buckeye hazel nut. These are native to ybi. Species list was developed with sf environment, cmg and tida and ticd staff. The next slides shows proposed locations. The species proposed for each location. Along here with a visual of where those locations are within sth ybi development footprints. Next steps staff are finalizing negotiation and legal review of the moa document. The moa is spected to submitted to november 16th meeting. The replanting of the trees will be carried out over next several years. Concludes my presentation and available for any questions. Comments from the board . Mr. Dunlop. I dont see yuke lips here. That is what i was going say. That was just a joke. Im glad i dont. Are these treesare these exact same trees that are being held somewhere being kept after and watered or new trees that are just true replacement . They are true replace ment in that the trees will be purchased and installed by ticd within the larger tree stock they were already planting to purchase and install as part of the revegetation. Cta sntd buying and giving trees and a nursery. They are obglaited for the cost associated with unit price per tree and between tida and ticd we determined the location and species to flush out existing tree vegetation plan. All tof all of the trees taken down are gone . Correct. Great. Thank you. Mrs. Richardson. We do respect commissioner dunlop i love yuke lipsis so thought in the original plan throughout the plan maybe not on Yerba Buena Island we are retaining eucalyptus. I think that is what i heard deciding what we will stay on the island and what we let go. Is that still the case mr. Beck . On Treasure Island most of the trees will be removed in unjunction with the Geo Technical work on Treasure Island. On Yerba Buena Island we adopted the habitat Management Plan which does callhabitat Management Plan applies to our land on Yerba Buena Island not necessarily cost guard lands but calls for the gradual thining of the numbers of yuke eucalyptus and transish to the native trees. The bottom line is on that island you are saying that will be devoid of eucalyptus over time . I want a certain percentage of that i understand the native species but at the end the day will we have those there . You said yes . Yes, director beck mentioned we are not getting rid of all eucalyptus, they are working withthey are identified stands of eucalyptus within the areas retained. The second thing is replanting of these trees so we are going to be using some of their workforce training and some of thatat least there will be workers from the tidi or disadvantages organizations . How will that do with the replanting . The replanting will be handled as part of ticds larger replanting work. A lot the work is governed by the project labor agreements, but with everything having to do with habitat Management Plan we are looking for any which way to incorporate job training, resident involvement, volunteer involvement. Thank you, sir. Mr. Samaha. With all due respect director richardson, i am happy the eucalyptus is thined out. It is a very invasive tree and what it does is kills everything around it. It sheds a lot of leaves and nothing grows around it and so im happy that is happening. I support this program. Thank you. I thank you. I think all of us have our own opinions about the yuke lpts and agrew prefer native species. The good thing is we have a habitat Management Plan and incorporates also the jobs corp and training that goes with it. Thank you very much. I think are there Public Comments . Hearing none, this is a information item and no action required. Item 11, discussion of future agenda items by directors. Directors, do i hear any . If not, i think we can adjourn.

Thank you, madam secretary. Excuse me. Is there any member of the public that would like to address the commission at this time . Welcome. My name is catherine [inaudible] as members of this department there are additional allegations regarding the station two situation that hasnt been addressed or investigated. I respectfully request the administration the elephant in the room and Management Practices which are the Bigger Picture. For the record, i worked and been in dangerous situations with the accused and never felt harassed by any of the men or others in the department. The women of the San Francisco Fire Department are not victims, we stands up for ourselves and worked hard to get where we are today, we stand proudly with brothers and sisters in this department. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning [inaudible] lieutenant in the Fire Department in San Francisco. I have been in 14 years and during that time i started out like everybody else a probey. I worked hard to get respect and harder as a female because i didnt want to be considered the weak link and through my years i have beenafter i got promoted, i worked hard to get promoted and worked at division och training training people treating everyone the same because in this department we all put on the same uninorm and same turnouts and we do the same job. So, there should be no question as to, we get detailed woman today, this could be a problem, no, we want to be considered like everybody else recollect a strong fire fighter. I worked at station two many times as a fire fighter and a officer and at any time any call there is never a problem. Sitting around the table, never a problem. We joke, they are like my brother and im offended what is going on. I have frn frnds calling say what is going on in San Francisco. There is nothing going on in San Francisco chblt this is a incident that is not universal. I work hard and respect everyone in the department, do their job, i do my job, i respect that we are all San Francisco Fire Fighters and this is our city and want to stand proudly side by side. Im a litm upset what is going on at two because now it looks like my family is being attack and brothers taken out by someone who is new and it st. Wrong. Thank you very much.

Good morning commissioners, president covington. I stand before you who worked at station 2 off and on for the last 12 years. I think as we let the story going on without details we allow our reputation to be tarnished and more importantly hurt the bond that has gown between the brother jz sisters that has grown over 30 years. When you allow a outside department that doesnt understand the day to day culture realty is skewed mpt equipment moved and training for mew member jz even from the manter over a meal that is subpar is normal for any real member of this department t is not singled out, is just our norm day to day stuff. The disstorted accounts and inaccurate information builds distress and hurts uzas a department. If we allow this to go on without defending our sechbls we are betraying our own and damaging the tradition that makes this department so glait. Great. Thank you for your time.

Thank you, chief gonzalez. Are there any members of the public that has comments on chief of departments report as well as the chief of Operations Report . Okay, Public Comment is closed and will go to fellow commissioners beginning with Vice President cleveland. Thank you, madam president and good morning everyone. Just a couple questions for you , chief. First off, you went to the mayors Strategic Planning retreat, what do you think was the most valuable thing you learned at that retreat . I would say a number of months since all the debarment heads have gotten toort so that is aul oma good opportunity. We broke down into i would say 10 tables of 6, where we talked about the overreaching goals of the city that dont just impact one department but multiple. Homelessness issue. We talked about 3 to 5 cross over issues and most vexing issues. Talked about them at length and discussed various solutions or regz resolutions to better address those as a team. What was the number one crossover issue that tend to impact the greatest number of city departments . I think it was the affordability and liveability in the city. Safety was right behind that though. It was parcel to it making sure we are not losing families, diversity and what might be driving families out of San Francisco. Interesting. Thank you. Um, when you had your meeting with the superizvisors to discuss grand jurys report what were their Major Concerns they voiced to you . I think that president cuvington could answer that. Friday there were few question. Basically we afforded the supervisors the opportunityi personally met with supervisor yee as well as supervisor peskin i was able to catch up with later because want able to make that meeting. We didnt get to talk to supervisor breenbreed but spoke to her aid connor johnson. We wanted to make sure they were clear on the report and reviewed the highlights and cover letter and provided a matrix and left them with the opportunity to ask any questions. Generally, they didnt have a lot of questions. I think we were very thorough in our response and in that number of the recommendations made by the civil grand jury were either agreed with and already implemented or in the process of being implemented. And, they were all very pleased with the fact that we received additional staffing from funding from department of building inspection for Community Resource officers in the form of a Fire Prevention inspector and Fire Investigation additional spot, so generally they didnt have a lot of questions because they were well versed in the report we had given ahead of time. Thank you, chief. Chief gun gonzalez a cup ouple question. We have fire inspectors what does it bring the total number 2 . Total number, i have to refer to fire marshal decozeia. Brings us to 42. You probably need to answer the next question, what is the average time that it take tooz investigate a fire . That varies. We target two months basically 60 days is what we target for open reports but dont go beyond two months and average 3 oto 35 runs a month for Fire Investigation so bringz into 60 or 70. One last question since you are here, Fire Prevention week what do you planl plan to do beyond having the fire station over to provide information to the community, are there other things to promote Fire Prevention week . I would want focus on this week, it is ongoing thing of ours, safety out there and the anniversary the parade we had a booth with nurt and think chief wnt over what we handed out and Safety Information and also those packets and Safety Information is going out to all the fire houses. Is there a psa plan, Public Service announcements . I work would the pio and discuss information. It is a lot about smoke alarms. There is a lot we can dine the social media realm to promote that. Yes. Smoke alarms save live jz trying to get that message out. Good deal. Thank you. Thats all my questions. Thank you vise president cleveland. Commissioner nakajo. Thank you madam president and chief gun gonzalez. It seems like we have had a lot of fires lately. From my experience and working off my communication pager, and set for 2 alarms and above in the incidence greater thanit feels like there are a lot of fires within the last two weeks. On one day i want sure if there was 2 or 3 within that 24 hour span, it sure felt like it or two on a saturday and one on sunday. I want to know off your report page 1, there was response to a elder person that needed to be rescued, chief is that that is correct. That is first alarm on 555 claiten. 555 claten. Did that elderly person get transported to hospital and such . Yes, sir, code 3. Okay. Do we know what the status is of that person . It was guardt the last time i checked but expected to survive. Other piece of nrfgz and again chief i am a chief commissioner so have prevy to the information about a elderly person or a pregnant woman rescued comes off the tv media, was there a rescue with a pregnant woman . One of these fires in october or september . I just heard it recently. It could have been october. Sthr was a fire last weekend nor iga. They did a great job at that fire as well. Okay. Recent in october. I just picked that up and wondering how that woman was. I can check for you. I appreciate that, chief. It isnt part of your report but will ask it, over the weekend we had a boating accident and again, off the media i think chief [inaudible] was working that day, but it hit national news. I picked it off cbs how catastrophic it could have been but there is a investigation in surms of circumstances but know we were involved because the shots taken today were the ambulance and crew line. There was also valiant efforts by civilians at that accident. I think the civilians did the rescue in the immediate area. There were other agencies involved. South San Francisco fire and oakland pd boats as well and sfpd boat so a lot of agencies jointly and did a great job. We did a lot of the transport because we were on the land where they brought the victim jz thankfully everybody walked away but there had to be a resuscitation on scene and believe by civilians. Okay. Assuming when you say oakland fire boat and such, san mateo as well . South San Francisco fire. Okay. They were out there because the fleet week activities . I believe so and all in different possessions positions of the box in the bay. Thank you very much for that update chief gonzalez. I think i will conclude with that. I have a question for chief hayeswhite, please. When it comes to 121 class that will start in november you said november 28. When do you thairng think that comligez will be finalized. By theened of this month or early first week in november. We like to give the nebs 2 to 3 weeks notice. Sometimes it doesnt always happen but would say by late october or early november mpt you reported our graduation for 120t at usf . Correct. Do you know the location . I believe it will be the auditorium where the old Presentation High School was which is turk and masonic. But i will have specific details on that and i heard 10 oclock but well have that down for you for sure on november fourb. The last question in 2017 the first class for h 2 is when . April. Thank you very much for your remark jz kindness in terms of the recognition. Appreciate that, thank you. Madam president. Thank you commissioner nakajo. Commissioner hardeman. Thank you madam president. So, he is sitting down. You saw that one. Um, chief can you explain what happened with that jet fuel . That is quite interesting spill at the airport. They knocked the fireit was full of jet fuel and caught fire similar to i would say igniting similar to diesel, but they knocked it down before any explosion could happen and did a good job. The other concern there is the run off and contained that as well and did a excellent job. It was a spillage and caught fire . Trying to figure out how that it was probably filling up i imagine but dont havet thainformation. That is just curiosity. The composite decking that burned, is that the plastic stuff they advertise on tv competing with redwood . The composit is like the tarry substance so burns a black smoke, oily smoke. I thought that stuff would be fire proof. No. Everything burns mostly on the buildings. Unless it is concrete. I dont know if this is for you or the chief, the 7 inspectors how are they picked and what type of shift do they have and what ranks did they have when the Fire Fighters or officers go into that position . So, the 7 inspectors came from the rank of h 2 fire fighter. Sometime s they come from h 3 fire fighter paramedic. As deputy chief gonzalez said we moved seasoned 12 inspectors overand had the opportunity to go there yesterday on oak street between broderick and deviz dareo. We modify td to set up worksites for the inspectors and came at a good time because we are pretty challenged for space down at fire headquarters and Fire Prevention so when those 12 inspectors moved out we were able to move the 7 new inspectors in to headquarters where they will receive a lot of oversight and training so will work alt headquarters. Not sure if anyone assigned a plan check. Typically the fire mars al will fill where the gaps are and work a day shift, typically 4, 10 hour shifts. Glad to see them take the job. We hope to by the next meeting or by the november meeting we will have additional 4 inspectors so good news. Chief gonzalez back to your report, 4 80 folk detectors and the 1500 fire helmets a photo book. Those are great and glad to see people took those p. My grandson got the helmet so that was really nice. I like to follow up on vise president cleveland regarding out pch reach, it is year long now and ongoing all the time including at the beach, prevention for the kids and different languages. When you brought up outreach a year and a half ago it is out there and twitter getting the messages out i started following it. Our pio is twitter fiend and puts stuff out there sothe message is getting out there. Thank you, chief gonzalez and fantastic report, it include the airport and details, very good. Thank you. Thank you. Chief hayeswhite, to you and primarily fire marshal decauseio, congratulations getting your grand jury finished and getting that through. Thank you, it was a lot of work and hopefully be a while before you have to do that again. We anticipate a follow up on that particular report. Usually we will be asked for a update when we fill out the matrix work in progress. There is another civil grand jury that convened and looking at our training. We always welcomespecifically the Training Division and have been over to Treasure Island. I havent spoken with them but welcome the civil grand jur aempt often time said they have good feedback. That is great if we demand we keep the Training Center there. We have newcould be good news. While i have the mic congrat ulations to commission rb nakajo with all the years in the Fire Department and starting cumofepy and leading it all these years look forward you being honored this week. Congratulations to you. Thank you commissioners for your comments and that thank you chief for your report. I wanted to say that our aparns appearance before the civil grand jury went extremely well. The chair of the civil grand jury for the report on dbi and the Fire Department a tale of two departments began his comments by apologizing for running out of time and therefore there hadnt been interviews with you and the fire marshal, so it was good for them to acknowledge that and they said that Going Forward they would make sure that would not happen again. They also pointed out a number of things that were good in the department and then it was supervisor peskin who had a very good idea regarding using the location maps for the city in general and that information from our two departments should go there since there was already a place for it. Fire marsal decozeio could you add to that, please because i think Going Forward that might be a route for us. Good morning. That is beyond my scope and have to speak with our it but the concept you are speaking of the main kench with supervisor peskin and Information Systems dont cross and share information so that was the main point he was trying to make and i agree with him. In his opinion and felt that was our biggest challenge. That is what was highlighted in the grand jury report. I want to say i really appreciate the amount of time and effort that grand jurors put into writing these voluminous reports because they are like us commissioners, they are volunteers and they do this because they love the city and they want the city to improve, so i take to heart all their recommendation. Thank you. Chief hayeswhite, could you talk a little more about the Strategic Planning meeting with all of the Department Heads . Sure. So, the Mayors Office Budget Office specifically has been convening smaller meetings regarding Strategic Planning and the future of various departments in the city and decided several months ago to have a retreat. Basically get together for the Department Heads to again discuss city wide issues that effect all our departments and ways to endeavor to work more clously together. It was kicked 5u6 in the morening by mayor lee. He did have to leave but most the 60 stayed throughout the day and he came back in the afternoon for the debrief what twee discussed throughout the day. There will be follow up meetings regarding this retreat conducted on the 30th. Were there any specifics regarding how to formulate a strategic plaj plan city wide . Department heads now, they are review forms say performance and how it relates to each department Strategic Plan. Was there any discussion about specifics that each plan should have Going Forward, what is the possibility of having a overall Strategic Plan for the entire city since all these Department Heads have gotten together . So it was more subject oriented rather than detail oriented about a plan. It was more discussion about some of the top three to five vexs issues. Less about the structure of a Strategic Plan, if you will, but more about identifying the most challenging issues and how we would go back as a city and various city departments making a difference to try and improve on how we respond to those type of issues. I know in your comments you said homelessness was one. For instance, regarding homelessness, were there specific ideas you put forward as to how we might deal with the Homeless Population differently . There were a lot of ideas put forward and there will beagain, i dont want to speak on behalf of the mayor or Mayors Office.

Vise president cleveland. Thank you, madam chair and thank you chief for your hard work on this particular issue. You said there was a minor hurdle now on this rc rotations.

That isnt had problem. Dhr and fsla laws. You think that will be cleared up through dhr . I am hoping, yess. H 23, the definition of that position has been finished, right . Dhr blessed it . The qualification. Yes. We have to work on that with president oconnor. That needs to be worked on after we get the shifts in place.

Item 6, update on fleet week activities and events. Thank you, madam secretary. Fellow members of the commission, i wanted to invite chief francisco to speak to us today because you remember he got what was essentially a book on the incredible activities related to fleet week and it is quite a undertaking to put all that together and the San Francisco Fire Department was a intgle part of those opportunities to share experience, to learn new skills and all of that, so i am going to leave it to our chief of department to see if he has opening words and hear from chief francisco. Thank you, president cvington. It was a successful week as i alluded to earlier and appreciate you acknowledging the Fire Department put a lot of working making sure the aspects were coved. Chief francisco and myers did a excellent job throughout the week. I also like to personally acknowledge our newly formed Employee Work group San Francisco Fire Fighters veteran association. They are auch to a wonderful starlt as you have seen them at 911 in the morning and sieving history days as part the parade. We had members of that session cooking lunch for the men and women in uniform. When they comto Treasure Island they provided a color guard and lunch that i dont think i alluded to that i attended with chief gullm beanie was acknowledged at the iii luncheon. Chief gullen beamy received the fire fighter of the year award. It is fitting that they had a role in fleet week. There was many events a number of us ateneded and think it was great you asked chief francisco provide a brief overview of and graphics which also include what commissioner nakajo asked about as recently as the saturday boat capsize. Chief. Good morning. Chief francisco. Put together a picture shoe for you based on the pictures i had in the short time so doesnt include everything but highlights. The fleet week was a great week. Great weather, probably the best fleet tweak to date. What we have done in San Francisco back in 2010 we changed the focus on fleet week from a air show and parade of ships, to a defense support of civilian authorities. How the military provides humanitarian aid and food and water and supplies to a major disaster. Since then it has taken off and in San Francisco it is the model for the country. La is doing it and san diego and new york is trying to get on board. It started off on sunday, monday with the exercise. She attended press conference with the mayor that day and tuesday we had 26 military members riding the ambulances the entire shift. A great time to Exchange Information to battle field medicine and street medicine and share best practice. They got great call tooz work and see recollect you see a roll over in the picksure picture so got to see good things to learn from. And then on wednesday, we went out to Treasure Island and trained 50 marines and 22 navy salers on u. S. Operation, urban sunch and rescue. It was conducted at Treasure Island Training Facilities and like to thank chief cullen beanie and in Service Training staff and lieutenant [inaudible] who set up the island and had everything to go to put on a great training. Inservice staff congratulation to them. Northern california resh cue training is a privateantty that conducts trainling comprised of some San Francisco retired fire members and detailed heavy squad rescue one. Local 97, 98 provided the bbq and members of the San Francisco Fire Department Veterans Association cooked lurch for them. You see in the picture on the bottom left they are learning how to cut and brief concrete. This is our first rotation, we provided 3 rotations so cutting concrete is what the slide is about. In the top they are punching holes and work getting a hole in the concreelt or using a [inaudible] on a concroot saw. In the next module we learned how to move and lift heavy objects. You see a 6 thousand pound slab of concrete and learning how to lift that up and slide another under it. Going back to the egyptians day when you dont have heavy equipments they put it on roleer jz raise it up and slide another slab under it and the bottom left you see a 4 thousand pound concrete cube and learned to flip that over in a safe and controlled manner simulating having to move rubal during a earthquake or building clapsh. On the bottom right they are learning how to construct shores to strengthen buildings and walls and ceilings to enter the structure and conduct a search. In 2011 the navy deployed to japan and used skills they were taught at Treasure Island so came full circle and why the navy is buying into this and trying to get this Program Going in other cities as well. At the end here you see the veterans at the top poses with the mill itary members. It was a chance to inter 5ck9 with intervens to talk about transitioning out of military and into the fire service. On the top we created a competition for them. We split them up between marine jz navy and enter that tube from either side and there a wall, each has one wall and have to breach the wall and who gets through it first you beat on the other wall and gets really heated. It turns out the navy won so the marines had to take it on the chin. They are eating lunch on the bottom left and big group at the end, 50 marines and 22 sailors out there. Also, while that was going on we had canine exercises with the military as well. Captain grose was out there and Garret Miller and ed martinez are out with k 9s and see them going through different props. You see the legs sticking through but made it up into the wendo. We had a lot of good press, 4 new stations coving us. They got a lot of good footage of marines and navy learning how tacut and breach concrete and so fort so was a very good day lunch was great and weather perfect. The navy asked if we can do two days next year mpt they liked it so much and want their member tooz do it and marines as well. That bringz us to thursday and did interoperable Fire Fighting training on the csf san diego. This is about delivering a marine force into a hostile area. Pretty big ship. We spent the morning learning about the fire fightsing systems and capabilities see the central coal on the left, getting a brief how they handle an alarm and identifying the space of how you do that. It is all numbers, all the numbers mean something on the navy ship so we are learning that sequence. You can see in the other pictures they lead a hose line to the navy fear, main space fire or engine room fire. They are very worried about that a lot of fuel and machinery so we went in the holes and down the latters and pretendsed to put out a fire down there. Just another great time both members enjoyed from the military and Fire Department and had engine 1 and 35, truck 4, rescue squat 1, bitalion 3 and division 3. Next year i think we will build on momentum and probably do a confined space rescue. A few months ago the uss graud loupey came into town and said we are in town for a extended time for dry dock repairs and wanted to give a touro wednesday the members took a look at the ship and thursday a look at the ship and confined space hazmat. The Fire Fighters were familiar with the laypen out and were able to pull somebody out with a rope system so worked well and think that is what we will do next year. Friday fs the parade of ships and the fire boat led the way, the new fire boat 3 was outd there so everybody got to see that. It chs nice to see it working. That brings to saturday and have the k 9 hero at the park. Many agencies vaurfbed, thifs bigger from last year, Police Department, shaifer office, chp, bart pd, u. S. Marine dogs and california dog association, k 9 companion, paws for purple hearts help veterans with ptsd and custom and boarder patrol. Well attended and great weather, everything couldnt have got better this year. That brings to the operations or humanitarian otmarine agreen where we had a vehicles on display such as the mass casualty transport bus, the multicaelshty unit and nurt and new group, the Fire Department Veterans Association was out there. You can see there in the bottom right we are give agtour of the transport bus to marines there at the villain as well. That brings to the operations. How to protect the 150 thousand people we see each day friday, std saturday and sunday. Traffic was terrible due to columbus kaday parade and fleet week. We set up a mobile command at marine agreen jz have 4 [inaudible] assigned, 3 medic unit, one amr unit and rescue boat 1 and 2 to enforce the safety zone of air show box and fire boat 3 and assigned battalion chief. Also is ems chief jech jef myers who oversaw the operation as we had newer captains working so provided assistance for them and see the unit working it. Normally just have normal cogs during the event but we had the unthinkable happen at the end the air show, we had inboat over turned with 30 people inside or on it. 27 adult squz 3 children. There was 3 people in the cabin when the boat over pm turned. I talk to a suviver and was in the cabin and filled with water rapidly and saw the young boy and went towards the boy and pushed him out a open window along with the mother and found a pocket of air and took a breath and found his way out. Cpr was conducted on the boy we believe by the father and put on surks f police boat marine 10 kw wry the time they got to the dock the boy was alert. Do you want advance your slide . I guess i should. There we go. You can see it. So, we called for a red alert. You with see a massive number of units respond i believe 11 ambulances that ran it. Assistant chief ball postm commandsed the incident and medical supervisor wasands a thomas and transportation was john cav gnaw and treatment officer was sebastian mu row and [inaudible] were the first Fire Department officers on the scene that established the protocols there and got things underway and organized. Very difficult to manage 30 people on your dock now all needed evaluation and determinations where they will go. The crew here did a outstanding job managing that incident and making work well and had the best outcome for 30 people in the water. This could have been a catastrophic insants please Department Marine 10 and captain worked well together. Great effort by everybody there and thank you to south San Francisco Fire Department and oakland Fire Department for assisting as well. With that, we had a great fleet week. Hope to build on it and make it breter better next year, it was a good time and can only get better. Can i take any questions . Thank you, chief francisco. Are there any members of the public that would like to comment on the report . Alright, Public Comment is closed and ill go to vise president cleveland. Thank you, madam chair. No questions but want to keep a praise on you. I think you did a wonderful job and we should all be proud of fleet week and participation the Fire Department has with the military and marines and navy. I think we are probably unique in the country in terms of our participation and cross training between our Department Personnel and the military and training them and we get trained as well so it is an amazing collaboration and wanted to congratulate you, heap praise on your for your leadership and i look forward to next year mpt. Thank you very much. It take as team of people. The operation is big, but thank you. And commissioner nakajo. Thank you, madam president. Chief francisco i really appreciate this report and as you phrased the pictures, the visuals are great. Thank you president covington for bringing this to us. I think the question i asked earlier about the accident that occurred during fleet week is just simply amazing me in terms of the last slide. I was looking at how many ambulances were there both ours and private, what street they were parked at because we practice and talk about scenarios but in when it occurs it is just amazing how well the systems work. I know that we can never take it for granted but with the Police Department and it sounds like the citizens jumped in and so for me it is just a great scenario and glad we had this brat back with the visuals so everybody can see the contribution. I want to thank you chief and members of 98, veteran members and all participant noted within this report for their participation. It makes us very proud, thank you very much chief hayeswhite and chief francisco, madam president. Thank you. Commissioner hardeman. Thank you, madam chair. Chief francisco, i know you put in about two months of work in the last week and must be so glad to relax a little, but what a great cause. It unfolded the whole week and seeing as usual our military dressed up and acting so well behaved and watching the blue angles perform and others, but as a port commissioner i met many many blue angles and the closest i can describe them, they are like navy seals. They have the have the most perfect physical mental condition to fly the plane jz they are such wundserful human beings it is like youwould you marry my daughter. If you have a daughter, you would love to pick them because they are like perfect people. So, that was good. I was invited to go on the fire boat, which is required to be out there during the performances and that was a real street to see how that functioned and all the other police and fire boats, there were smaller ones like the rubber rafts and coast guard, quite Impressive Group of people protecting our fire boat just had docked and already got off when the accident happened, otherwise we were not too far from there originally but once it was over it went back. Anyway, i just like to thank you. It was wonderful and 35 years now as a navy seal, Diane Feinsteinthe fleet week and Dinan Feinstein is the one who instigated it and grateful and hope everybody appreciates all the wonderful people that serve our country and protecting us and the people like me let us live a spoiled brat wonderful life never in a fox hole or freezing weather and never had to be in the 120 degree weather in afghanistan or other places in the world, so very grateful. I like to compliment who put together the logistic operations and the board of directorsthis must have been invaluable to you as a resource, this is very good. Starting in april we plan the thing so those are the all people we work with. This is very bright, smart. Thank you, good job and thank you chief for having great guys like francisco who ree where he lucky to have working for city of San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you, commissioner hardeman. And thank you chief francisco. I know you thought you were totally finished and thursday you got the call president covington wants a overview and i appreciate your digging deep after having extended so much energy. Not a problem at all. Thank you,ioknow you are that kind of guy. I think it is very important for the citizens of San Francisco to know that thrt is much more to fleet week than the blue angles. That these kinds of training opportunities and formation of interpersonal relationships will all go well for us when we have the earthquake we know is coming but dont know when. The more people who can chip in and help us, the better. The military is more than willing to do that you know, to help on the civilian side and thats essential because we will need all hands on deck when that earthquake like loma prieta roars through. The urban search and rescue is very essential and i happen said upon the k 9 heroes at the park and that std was saturday was a glorious day and that is a dog park on a regular basis so people brought all thir their dogs out. Someone is very fond of great danes because there was a cohort of great danes. Little tiny kids and these huge dogs that are more likewell, anyway. Everyone has seen them so they are like ponys and think a number of kids asked if they can be put on top of the great danes but the great danes were not having it. That was a wonderful demonstration of how the k 9 units work and the booths were very very informative. Had a lot of intellectual presence so people had questions and wanted more information and wanted to support the various k 9 units, so that was very good. And i wanted to ask you a question regarding the boat incident. I know there were 30 people and you said 11 ambulances were involved. Would this have been an occasion to use our mass casualty bus . It was pensioned down there and could have been brought up. It is dependent on the level of severity of the patients if we need it or handle with the ambulances. Give me further delineation between when we will use regular ambulances and when we use the mass casualty bus. I will differ to chief [inaudible] myer. Jeff myer e 34rks s chief. The use the mass casualty bus is the resource the 911 system could be utilized in several different formats. When you have large numberoffs non ambulatory non critical patients. So, patients that are unable to walk due to their injuries or illness, but also a mixture of green patients and the Ground Transport ambulances are used for the most critical vejs. Any time we have mass casualty incident you have the rest of the city and it is regular 911 traffic coming into the system so you have an entire city to maintain as far as 911, but also support the incident so it is rabalance between patient squz criticality and available resources within the system what is the availability of surge unit from our private partners, etc. It is a balance. We also would use the mass casualty bus in a situation where you have large working fire as a rehabilitation station but also utilized for local Emergency Rooms that over whelmed with patient populations from broget internal and outside event and can be rolled to the hospital and allow Surge Capacity for that emergency department. The personnel can come on board and have additional twnt patient capability. How long does it take to deploy the mass casualty bus . The greatest time period to get the bus is generally twnt 20 to 25 minutes. Muni drivers are operating the bus for us as they have the most experience. Currentsly they are housed at a major muni repair facilities, so the availability of a muni driver is the only real self limiting factor. We plan to cross staff the bus with on duty personnel and back fill later, so the ability of muni to get the bus out the door to the incident and cross staff on site. Great. Well thank you. And again, thank you to everyone who worked on fwleet week and did a fabulous job. It takes so much creative thinking and energy and over a long period of time to put together such a comprehensive event especially on the safety side, so thank you very much chief francisco. Thank you. Item 7, agenda for next Fire Commission meeting on october 26, 20s 16. Commissioners .
