firefighters assigned to the stations? >> i can answer that more generally, we are hoping to focus on the repairs that need to be done with the members can still ride at the station and respond out of the station, hoping to get those done particularly at the stations that are out there, like 69 greenwich, five on western, which required at this point looking at compete teardowns. so, the fault would be that in terms of call volume, relocating temporarily to the more newly renovated stations for additional staffing for that period of time. just a couple of more slides, this alludes to the fact that we are proposing to hire an

additional 62 employees in 12- 13. we will be staffing the ambulances with gmt's, starting in july with 42 entry-level firefighters, providing coverage for some time, increasing the count as we discussed earlier, hopefully bringing down some of the overtime. we are also seeing an increase in mandatory overtime, which is something that concerns me greatly. it is not something which, as often, we have seen lately. the last slide, again, breaks down the june 2010 passage of the easter bond and what it covered. we have a vested interest in our facilities. we have done a lot of work analyzing the amount of money that needs to be invested in

these stations. there has been a lot of deferred payments in these facilities, as you know. i have rejected $630 million in deferred maintenance. i know that there were discussions that we took part in discussing these possibilities through november 13, something like that. the water supply system, we were working closely to remind you about the wild part, but we do work closely with them in the form of a drafted ammo you maintained for the standards of the protection of the city. a high-pressure system solely used by the fire department for suppression. it adds to the redundancy in importance of redundancy in our tool kit, if you will. we have a small piece of that

with the completion of that project, which of the adjacent to our new headquarters building. i wanted to touch on been actively involved in america's cup preparations, which will be great for the city, challenging for the city, for sure. we are always very mindful of the fact that we rely heavily on the general fund. i want to make sure, all of you, that is not just the general fund. my staff has done a great job in pursuing that funding. most of these are funding a new fire boat for the department and the city, with approximately $2 million in fema grant funding

equipment. including our self-contained breathing apparatus. we have also received grants for the [unintelligible] program, which all of your constituents know and appreciate is there for them on how to know and be better prepared for the city in its time of need. we continue to apply for grants as best we can. that concludes the formal part of my presentation and i am happy to answer questions at this time. supervisor chu: thank you, chief. final question for me has to deal with the system that is in need of repair and work and is a very expensive system that does not reach all the way out to the western part of the city. it only goes so far, and once we hit that place in the sunset, we

have those underground cistern that run out of water. i want to ask, what is the plan for addressing water needs, if there is an earthquake and fire is an issue in the area. we do not know what the plan would be, given a situation like that. >> a great question. water supply is the bread and butter of what we do in terms of being able to suppress fires. it is the fires following the earthquake it is the most dangerous for the city. having said that, i am proud to have a city that realizes that fire is a problem in the city. we have many options. there is a lot of redundancy as it relates to fire suppression. we have a low pressure system

that sets off the drinking water in the city. we also have the awss, but you are also right in certain parts of the city, anything west of the court or, we now have that capability. throughout the city we have cisterns with supplies of water under the ground and be used to augment in the event of maine failures. we have approximately 177 cisterns that call for repairing and a growing that system or option, i would set. you are right, that is very much a temporary plant for us. we currently have four in various quarters of the city

that carry hoses to do above ground water attacks, if you will. the portable water supply system is certainly something we would love to grow in terms of having additional resources, particularly out in the more vulnerable area, like the richmond and sunset district. it is proposed that if we were to have a full-blown water supply system, it would cost $8 million, but in the scheme of things it is something that we have fought vigorously for in terms of grant funding and today we have not received any. we do have $250,000 to which we will apply rules to expand the pwss. the failures that we had in the

sunset district, we would use the current system in terms of the portable water supply system. we could not include that we could include that in the eastern language, but we think that is worth considering. just to answer your question right now, there are different options that we would use depending on what challenges we are faced with. but in terms of the expansion of the portable water supply system, we do continue to seek funding. >> and in connection with this project, we have golden gate park and we have lake merced.

do we have hookups or the ability to tap into this system if we needed to? >> in terms of the reservoirs, there is a sunset, which was recently renovated. there is the fourth and seventh district merced reservoir. my understanding is that would require some work with puc to utilize that, as well as lake merced. there would be some piping needed, but that is something the fire department would support. the more redundancies, the more options that we have in terms of water sources, the better off all of us will be. that is a continued discussion with puc. >> we do not have the ability to tap into those systems at the moment. >> for the park we have the ability to perform those tasks.

>> i would love to continue that conversation with you. you're one is a revenue-based solution primary, it looks. is it your two the same? blixt it would be -- >> it would be with the budget office. the guards had not met the goal yet for the second year? >> know, we have not. >> why don't we open this up for public comment. are there members of the public that wish to speak on item 1? >> ♪ don't budget me this way

>> good morning. thank you for joining us at city hall. i am a former san francisco county supervisor and secretary. a currently serving the united states commission on civil proud day in san francisco where civil and equal rights and economic opportunity. we are here this morning to announce that lennar corporation and its partnerships in the candlestick development are delivering a check for $7.2 million to the san francisco foundation. [applause] the check will be delivered to the san francisco foundation who will hold it on behalf of the

community of bayview-hunters point and all of district 10 lennar -- district and. [applause] this money is for community benefits, specifically job training and affordable housing, and will benefit the entire community of the bay view- hunters point, and all of district 10. we have a few instrumental people who will make brief remarks. i would like to begin with the president of lennar urban, the managing partner of the group developing candlestick point project. mr. bonner is a nationally recognized urban planner and

redevelopment experts. we are very lucky to have him as the manager of this entire project. [applause] >> thank you very much. $7.2 million gets a lot of nice things said about you. thank you very much. welcome and thank you for coming. i specifically would like to say to mayor lee, thank you for all of the support, leadership, and guidance on this project. i would like to thank supervisor ocohen for everything you do and your leadership. [applause] thank you for your guidance and support on this project. supervisor maxwell may not be here. she was always in the trenches with us and was incredibly important to the process.

[applause] there are several supervisors who may not be here who were really supportive during the lengthy process. in san francisco, we have a blood sport called the entitlement project. it is always great to have supporters who were also decisionmakers. there are many who are currently on the board who were supportive and many new on the board who were supportive. i would like to thank the intensely committed community. i see several members here. this is a small portion of the community that supported us. but for this community and their commitment, lennar would probably have left the city. but they supported us and give us the strength and spirit to go forward. i would personally like to thank you all on behalf of the

partnership. [applause] >> one of the things that happens when you have to go to about 500 community meetings is that around 455th meeting, you began to hear what the community is telling you. we heard a couple of things loud and clear through those community meetings. the community said these have been bad economic times over the last six years. i do not need to tell anybody that. the community said clearly we want to make sure there is additional funding to support our work in getting retrained and readmitted back into the workforce to take advantage of some of the new work opportunities that exist or will exist because of our project. we said we hear you. one of the other things we heard

is that there has been a steady out-migration of young families from district and. we would like to setup a funding mechanism to support and encourage these young families to stay in the community. as the community grows, we have the ability to assist them to stay in the community. we heard you. [applause] on behalf of my organization and the partnership we represent, i am delighted to be standing here with the ability to provide a $ 7.2 million check the will assist in those spots -- specific endeavors. [applause] i will say i am really pleased that the implementation committee representing this

community believes in this effort and has picked the san francisco foundation. the san francisco foundation is a venerable and a steam organization. it has been in the community for many years. it is exactly the kind of entity that can assist us all in providing the programming, guidance, and counseling to ensure these funds are used exactly in the manner we would like to see them used. on behalf of lennar and partnership, on behalf of others, i want to thank you all for coming. i want to thank cac, members of ad 10, rev. walker. we have spent many nights and

evenings together working to make this day a reality. we love the fact we are a developer in district 10. we love the fact that we are beginning to work together so that we will all share this vision of a spectacular debut -- bay view over the next 20 years and onwards. thank you all for coming. [applause] >> thank you. now i would like to ask mayor lee, a staunch advocate for civil rights in his own right, and a great promoter of jobs in this city and economic revitalization and economic justice, mayor edwin lee. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, when he turned a second ago and mentioned our cooperation, let

me tell you if it means a lot. we are at a stage where we are fulfilling a very old promise that you have all been a part of. if you have listened carefully to every speech i have made, i have been careful not to create new promises when we have a long list of old promises yet to be fulfilled in this city. now we are beginning to do that. we are beginning to put money and resources behind it so that all of you who've never worked so many years on the advisory committee, implementation committee, the volunteer committees, trying to think a positive stories to tell to revise people that this is a city for all this, believe it. it is not just promises. we're starting to fulfill those promises. it feels great to do that. i see this -- it sounds like a

lot of money, but it is part of a larger promise. somewhere around $35 million? >> $30 million. >> i will always try to increase its. [laughter] you know it. it is part of what you described earlier. i get to be a part of it. it is a promise to the community that they will incur the richness of our city and be part of the planning. they are part of the rebuilding. they're part of the employment and education opportunities. it is all here in front of us. i want to say simply that not only is it part of the old promises, but around us at the state and federal level, there is so much disagreement. there is so much going on pulling our attention away and

making us-in what we see the future to be. i am all about building on those old promises and making sure people believe in us as we take on the reins of leadership in this city. we mean what we say about these promises. we want our african-american community to thrive in san francisco. we want to turn away from the out-migration. with this foundation, with our adherence to all of the thousands of hours -- by the way, when we look at each other, we smile. there are still battles. we're right in the middle of it. every time we get a call from somebody in the governor's office, we're on the phone with each other because they still do not understand and have to be educated. despite the elimination of

redevelopment, we are there with money, checks, and resources. we will do it. [applause] there is no secret as to how we do it. we do it with the residents of our se sector believing as a city we can fulfill that promise. we also do it with labor. we do it with our churches and our religious leaders. we do it with activists in the community. we do it with the organizing projects that have been faithful in working with the community to remind us of what our obligations are. we do it with the san francisco foundation because they know these promises are at the heart of everything we believe and why we are still here in our city. whether i am a civil rights activist, a lawyer, a dpw director, or a mayor, i am not

going anywhere until this is fulfilled. >> now we would like to continue with supervisor cohen who ably represents district 10 where the investment will be made. [applause] >> ok. i can empathize. this process is enough to knock anyone off of their feet. i am going to have to stick to my notes. that is enough to shake me. it is good to see you. thank you for being here today. as the mayor mentioned, the committee process is unlike any process and project in the city. it took decades and was often challenging, being the longest public hearing of any project. the results were something truly

unique insignificant. the years of work and dedication by the community are represented today. if you look around, you see friends from all walks of life coming to celebrate. lennar and its partners have produced something more than just a public-private partnership. it has created a coalition of public and private entities committed not just to the physical improvements of the south eastern neighborhoods but also investing in and lifting up our current residents and organizations, as you saw demonstrated today. it is no secret the southeast neighborhoods have significant challenges. with the partnership and project, for the first time when we talk about bayview, we do not just talk about the disparity and needs. we do not just talk about a lot -- the lack.

[applause] we're not just speaking from a tradition of deficit. the community is focused not on fighting for investment, but rather, in gauging on how best to shape the significant investment that is coming. in an era of uncertainty around redevelopment funds, has not backed away -- lennar has come back away from their commitment, as to renegotiate their promises, or wait to see the full period of the redevelopment agency actually means. rather, they have done what they know is right in the community expects of them. they have continued to deliver on their furniture commitments. this is a long-term project and their investment in the southeast neighborhood, and it is important that we as a city not lose sight of why we fought so hard for this development.

we brought thousands of dollars to the city. it is building one of the most dilapidated public housing sites in the city. [applause] this project is also delivering hundreds of acres of public open space. it is improving and keeping our state park running, and it is investing in our residents to ensure they have a vibrant economic future. so i want to thank the members of 8010, thank you, labor, sfop, the citizens advisory committee, the san francisco foundation, lennar, and the community members that dedicated their time to make sure that the southeast neighborhoods are not known for what they used to be, but for what they will be.

thank you. [applause] >> now i want to ask mr. richard thompson, representing the community groups that negotiated this important community investment. mr. hobson. [applause] >> good morning. my name is richard hobson. i am a member of san francisco case, the alliance for californians for community empowerment. on behalf of the government body accountable for these funds, including the san francisco organizing project, san francisco labor counsel, the pac, cac, and mr. j moody, i want to emphasize our commitment in helping to build strong district and community, especially in the neighborhood that have been historically left out of economic opportunities in san francisco. our
