going through this, to see which businesses were having their own trash. i am sure this continues today. this is one issue. we lost our trashcans. the community is not getting adequate information. there were disposable -- big containers for them to throw out there. big items. and this is once a month, whatevef. r. it doesn't reach into the buildings. also, you live at a private hotel -- you are entitled to get rid of the waste. then a fight with the property

owner. trying to get rid of things they don't need. besides -- the city was cleaning up the neighborhood. they can drop the cna, whatever it is. let's talk about pets. pet poo is the big problem in our neighborhood because we have more pets than children. >> is there na any additional public comment? public comment is closed. i see one person -- is there anyone else? i will clsose public comment

after this -- >> i will drop what i'm going to say. i'm martha from the haight and i live a block fro mthe recycling center. i wanted to support that organization so much. i recycled there for years. the money that comes into that organization goes out to public services. he should get credit for the recycling program that saved the organization. it is a noutstanding service. i would like you to see the site. please protect it.

>> so -- i will say it one last time. and then we'll get on to the survivors hearing. >> i am larry stringer, the deputy director of operations. this problem represents a huge challenge. we are the ones who are called to clean it up. i believe this is a legislative issue. this is where we can focus. our hands are tied. we can go inside the property and say they need lock service. people are going in and have the tools to pop the locks. one idea that was excessive --

those popping in and doing the dumpster dives, the unlicensed and unregulated monitors. other than that, i want to say i hope we do come up with something. the department of public works can be easier. we won't see this in the bin diving. >> i've called you several times about that. they call us, we call you. so, last call -- is there any additional public comment. public comment is closed. i think what we realized today -- is that this intersects with other issues, creating clean environments and there is the

environmental factor. what we see is the job component to train people for jobs. and really fill in gaps around that. and to train residents about recycling with hank. we've also seen a component around composting and native plants. there is a way around small businesses. we talk about different issues, adn thnd the public safety issus that is a critical issue as well. so i think what i would like to do is continue this item to the call of the chair. between now and the next hearing, i hope the office will

talk with individuals who were here today, and we can look for solutions outside of the hearing process. it may be hard to find solutions. i will review the march 8, 2011 resolution, and just want to say that i am impressed with the community agencies. the department, dpw, and the individual who spoke from the recycling center. i forget his name. we would like to talk to him about webster street's recycling center. perhaps we could check in with this gentleman from the filmore- heritage district.

we have a lot of work to do. when you see hank doing such incredible work, there is a lot of potential -- and just getting a lot of this resolved. i will continue this to the call of the chair, and take a fiv- eminute-minute break for the "survivors" hearing. >> we will sit in recess for 5:00.

>> mr. clerk, can you read item 2? >> the current policies an-- for the survivors to compensate those who -- >> we heard the impacts of violence and trauma on children.

there is evidence proving trauam has auma has -- untreated expose to trauma can lead to mental illness and long-term health effects. i hope to learn of the services for the survivors of trauma, for to help them deal with catastrophic incidents. we will have more from sf crisis care. i want to thank the chief of the fire department for participating today. we will start the hearing now and hear from the chief.

>> good morning, suprvisor. joanne, chief of the sf fire department. i am speaking in favor of the aditionaditional resources we my need. we respond to approximately 110,000 calls per year, 35% fire related. the medical calls that we respond to oftentimes, this is a crisis situation, an auto accident, or the sudden death of a child or adult. we provide medical services to treat the person and typically will be transporting. what i see is the services afterward for the family

members, that what we do is transport. with a summary of what we're doing. we have one of the nine receiving hospitals. it is so familiar with san francisco crisis care. we have the model in other cities. my colleagues, at the department of emergency management, and the police department, i am trying to get a meeting with them. this is totally different in a crime scene. we hope to continue this.

the memorandum of understanding has been dropped, and i believe the deputy city attorney has reviewed this. we will have barbara garcia, but as a very good job as a work with the police department, i think there should be an important part of the complication. thank you for bringing this an i am happy -- >> is a reminded of the resiliency, and this'll be part of the discussion. to interact or respond to all of these emergency situations and

the effect that this would have. >> the seven cisco fire department, we have a larger behavior of sciences unit, this is 2011. this continues to be difficult. we see this on a daily basis. we have this in the work life and home life. we have this more regularly than they used to. thank you. >> thank you for convening the conversation with cronin bird

and dr garcia. we will hear from john grimes and jerry moremoto of the department of public health. >> good morning. i am here as the manager who sees the crisis programs -- and we have the assistance -- but actually directs this -- we come through a lot of contractual agreement. we have looked at issues that affect the number of people

we're working with. what we found is a degree of trauma. we want to talk about how to work with people, and we see ourselves as first responders. the hospitalization and some issues, we have the ability to work with people, with six languages. last year, we coal located a number of issues together to see how we can work more efficiently. we actually have a mobile crisis team, and we have pitchout
