we've generously you funded police academies the 1 eight hundred hundred body cameras for police officers i'm wondering you don't why not the same or similar attendance from the sheriff's department and the ballistic vest replacements to potential body cameras but even the academy classes for the sheriff men's the installing small number of 12 the police department has to many more in their academy. >> thank you, supervisor kate howard the mayors budget director. >> as you noted a sixth drop in the population in the jail and we've been working with the sheriff's department to monitor their staffing level as well as their ability to backfill retirements that's certainly our

addressing this year we addressed the need for the department of public health and in terms of capital facilities and it this budget includes $4.8 million over the next two years for those needs and certainly needs beyond what were fund in the budgeted that's in front of you just like any department has needs beyond when is funded we'll continue to work with the sheriff's department and make sure they have appropriate staff to manage the population. >> i'm sorry, i didn't hear an answer of the body cameras or vests and deputy sheriff to be vulnerable with the people they're coming into contact with make a purr scuff argument with you can't deny the argument for

our deputy sheriff's department. >> any other comment seen thank you sheriff we see you on monday then. >> next our fire department and madam clerk. >> the tax regulation covet to increase the fire department licenses and making environment finding. >> thank you very much welcome to the chamber chief joanne. >> good afternoon. i have mark with me he's passing out our presentation we're kooeb keying up i have 7

slides so we're here to present the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 year budget and update you on where we're at since last april this is the high-level use of our yours i'm sure you're aware of 90 percent of our budget is salaries and benefits that leaves a small allocation for everything ervin else for supplies and work orders and equipment the department receives money if federal and state revenues as well foes for services but the fire department i am sure is heavy dependent on fees next slide is the budget how level view the allocations over the next two years our department has increased as a

result of mou and supplements to the mayors hiring plan we're happy about for the ems and the fire suppression the new positions which i will touch on briefly a little bit later on as well as the capital in various projects ftes counts after years of reductions of ftes the departments is projecting a net increase to the staffing levels over the next two budget years this is due to the hiring plan for the ems and fire suppression we had 42 new hires on the streets and already we've seen a improvement in our overall ambulance times they were concerned and in addition the two academy classes schedule do

will help boost the number of ftes and certainly match the retirements and grow the overall fte count wore projecting in year two because of the hires a reduction decrease inform your offervertime. >> so in order to get into the budget i wanted to highlight you on the overall changes allocated by the mayor's office under the direction of the budget director kate howard for her assistance on the job the fire department

anthony i am sure we've received criticism related to our response time we're certainly not immune with the growing population and call volume so the mayor's office is supportive and helpful in our fire department committee we have 15 members of our department step up and really work collaboratively with us they saw some of the realties of what budgeting is like and had great ideas this is in order to build consensus among our department we'll continue this process in the future i've learned a lot from that the first tupg you see on the slide with regards to changes in our ems it is a hot topic as i've discussed the city as grown and the private ambulance resources had difficulties coping with the

demand for services resulting in operation alisa miller the mayors set up the d e n and the board of supervisors and the controller's office and local 798 there were a number of recommendations some that were implemented such as an increase in the ambulance personnel in the current year as well as staff anothers dph our resources 9-1-1 was not the service needs with the support and help draergz fatiguing up our ambulances for other 9-1-1 calls to be responded to in addition in some of the recommendations that are incorporated into the departments such as the

supervision model with our ambulance services and ems logical support in order to get ambulances in and out of service faster to support the ambulance availability and as well as partnering with dph for an ems 6 program it resembled what we had was successful the home team the homeless evaluation team we have a motion and a second we're going to restore that where we have identified those frequent users of the 9-1-1 system that can have used other services by restoring that program particular the civic center and the tenderloin maybe we'll be more efficient in freeing up our ambulance resources in addition the fire department was issued data analysis a small

there for supplies and causality volume the results of the working group has been huge and extremely positive for the overall health of the ambulance system in the city we're paramount providers but are partnering with two other agencies the new staff has improved and i have data to show you that it had continue to improve as the staffing is restored the relationships with the city's private providers are strengthened the working group has not meet but two sub groups that work together and the ems provider group it is the department of management our partners as well as the two private providers and members from our department we exchange schedule information and trend and coordinated

special events by the fourth of july that's one sub group that works together as well as the data group we appreciate the hard work that is headed by the controller's office and it is we're working with the private providers and the department the emergency management we hope to continue it refine that process and create a public dashboard for overhead metrics in the area of response times. >> next slide, please continuing on the deadlock enhancements with the assistance of the mayor's office the mayor public safety is expanded for the department rumentd in 4 new academies over the next 4 years one in august and january over the next two years the department is scheduled for 8 academies over the next 5 years arrest the new academies is

socializing needs to prepare for the spike in retirements that is anticipated to come on the ems does the hyphen plan was modified to incorporate in the academy of 42 new hovers in the current fiscal year i have 40 but graduated 42 on one is the formation of the planning division the department emigrate criticism in long term efforts by the department i'll have to awe agree we can't forecast our growing city and be able to full our mention planning is a high priority and given the lack of administrative resources we've been forced to

additional have been unsuccessful the planning sources the deputy director of policy and planning will head up that unit with support analysis on topic forces strategy planning and successor planning and policy and development and research next slide. >> the departments arson unit had it's levels reduced it ruled in workload and as well as decreased the staffing from two to one that educates safety issues and work-related issues its bureaucracy reduced to a low of 5 the department was appreciative last year being allocated two additional investigators that was added during the ad back process and worked out well, for us

definitely into this rebuilding mode and this year, the mayor's office has added two investigators that binges our staff up to 90 we have two investigators working together every shift in the past two years given all the construction projects that have been coming down the pipeline it is restored the staff needs to be helped so the projects what precede we'll not be preserved as the bottleneck from the fire departments plan check review we've allocated additional staff to assist in the blag those positions i'm going to turn it over to are fund by foe revenue and don't represent an increase to the general fund but we're grateful

for that. >> i just briefly wanted to touch a on a number of other go things to formalize the relationship with the department of public health for a health specialist to help with the osha to make sure the smern with working 24-hour to where we very in terms of employee health and safety the department was allocated resources for a uniform recruitment to improve the candidates to find jobs within the department i'm sure you're aware of with the depth department of hearsay i've not hired off that list but as far we think we can improve the applicant pool i'm committed to having a equivalence department

i think all of you agree it is to be recollected in the city and proud of many members and background and cultures and the languages our departments speckle we want to continue by having money set aside for uniform folks into the community and represent our department makes sense and it will only increase accident dpifrlt of the single-family home folk we have furniture and furnishings and fixture which fund is not eligible to be used and also to fund to be having special event that most the superbowl to next year. >> ward to it equipment and

allocation we have written here over the next couple of years we have reserve dedicated to improving the ems system in addition, we have equipment allocation for a few apparatus along with remaining allocations so we're focused on rebuilding primary with staffing also reversing some of the much needed staffing and resources we need more ems and really binging ourselves up to it i know all of you were surprised and supportive of our need to have more modern technology in the fire department and we're working closely with d t we still don't have live fire stations but we're committed we should have it citywide but probably sooner not just in other parts of community.

>> supervisor wiener. >> thank you mr. chairman thank you for your presentation i know and i had an opportunity to walk through this presentation i know in the next few years not a lot of vehicles two engines and one truck in the next twon or fiscal years; is that right and correct. >> that's a literally small number in the overall size of the fleet. >> correct but we're taking deliver from the previous contracts of 6 engines 6 trucks we took delivery of 10 engines. >> right from the previous rfp or previous that's from on old - >> it is it is candidly this is not keeping with what we worked on but a step in the right

direction. >> i'm proud of the department keeping it's fleet and making sure they're good and more than that and i'm supportive of investing in that one thing i know you talked about a number of occasions talk about u talked about not the size but the maneuver ability of the trucks for the budget analyst report i know there's been a dial with the department about that i want to make sure as we are we've heard fourth hand through the grapevine that future truck purposes make the truck possibly bigger and less maneuverable but as the city grows and putting aside street design issues that effect a small percentage the

street the city is congested it is important for the trucks to be as maneuverable as possible understand you have operational issues can you address that. >> i know you asked for a response from our conversation legibly i met with our aid he's done phenomenon tag but didn't believe with respect to the 6 trucks are larger than previously ordered trucks we're mindful of the alleged population in the city the pedestrians and bicyclists and cars on the road having said that i know you get that we're looking always to make sure getting the most efficient vehicles to the ever changing and standards we need to meet so

we're all working that's part of what we signed on when we agreed to the resolution collaborative with our police commission. >> we appreciate the fire department it's been working collaboratively with our departments and advocacy community and you're at the epic center of every time for emergency responder and ambulances for people injured on our street you guys see it all for the men and women of the fire department do everyday so keep our communities safe and i'm glad wore continuing in that dialog so thank you. >> thanks supervisor wiener. >> sorry supervisor yee. >> oh i'll wait for her e

chief joanne hayes-white to finish they are presentation and this is your capital funding allocation over the next couple of years the department has a number of capital improvements the general fund allocations over the next two years and in addition working on easter projects finishing off. (off the record.) and while the department is appreciative of the capital and easter fund there is a significant backlog of capital needs over 50 facilities we maintain most of them 24 slash 7 facilities and previously i mentioned some of the ems work recommendations would be other recommendations that came from the workshop was a need for a new ems facility we continue to work with capital planning to include that

facility in the 2016 log that concludes my presentation. i'd like to acknowledge the work the budget analyst and let you know we're not at this time in agreement i'm optimistic we'll reach resolution soon >> thank you very much chief. >> supervisor yee. >> thank you supervisor farrell thanks for your presentation and the work you do for the city i have two questions one of them less about the court budget for me to understand as we go further into the future you know we have major buyers this fiscal year in the mission bay fire and the fires in the missions i'm curious when you have major fires what impact on the budget if any. >> so it is a great question obviously we fund a lot for

training training it is fountains of our success and best as possible keep our members and community safe we have minimum staffing per day during the actual event wore challenged from a resource standpoint but like the motorbike fire it is like a chessboard we're limited on another larpg scale incident breaking out we're good in managing it in terms of resources we're pretty much ready to respond unless we need to do the reciprocal paradises we're able to manage a large-scale incident like mission bay. >> the other one i've spoken to you about hiring to a certain extent what can we

do to enhance our local hiring i know you mention the one strategy to have more firefighters out there in the community and but are there other especially this opportunity with increased classes are there other ideas you have reflective in the budget to encourage for of our residents to actually apply for those types of positions. >> yes, we need to be mindful of the law not mavrd but through our recruitment effort we feel most of events are city driven from the bay area but that in and of itself should help wore

hiring to hire someone locally although not mandated as part of the hiring ooifr process there is a survey we have our members fill out it includes background in terms of education, if they speak another language community involvement and so forth it can be derived from the survey what we seeing i'll have to run the data but anecdotal we've seen more people hired in the few years that live in the city p than in the previous 10 years a lot of it has to do with a robust reserve program a volunteer program take the reserve program many have been selected into the firefighter academies approximately about 9

months ago 33 percent ever over workforce that reside in the city higher than other departments. >> is your reserve program similar to the police cadet program targets any age. >> it is slightly different i thought that was an excellent idea and worth further discussions our reserve didn't target the ages there is no upper age limit for example we have 50 volunteer reserves that go through a competitive interview process you need to live in the city and go through a two or three hour train we use them for exterior experience not going into buildings you have to be over 19 to be a reserve

offsite it is a gateway to get information about being a firefighter as well as seek a career opportunity we also work closely with our black firefighters association under the direction of '81 iron a youth firefighter academy that is similar to a inmate program students as young as 12 up to 18 to introduce them to a paramilitary type of organizations and their opportunity 0 for those members some of them are given to apply to the self-fire department and most not all of those cadets live in the city but i don't believe that city retainedcy is required for the black firefighters. >> supervisor president london breed. >> thank you thank you for your presentation chief i'm excited about the additional

fund to the department $35.7 million that will help to pay for the new academy classes a lot of the services and support that the department needs especially the volkswagen planning and having someone in the department krgz to make sure we have sufficient staffing but sufficient training and all the great things that make important for a better department it is a long time coming and hopefully had money will really make the difference i know that we also have 19 new ambulances on the street in the past 6 months. >> right. >> we're definitely on our way i'm really very devastated excited as a harsh critic of the

department it makes me existed that finally you know the support is there but i want to also you know understand you know what are some they're still challenges and time to move into into a direction can you talk about the remaining goobldz to get up to a point where we are just in a better position in terms of response times and the other challenges of the department. >> certainly we're definitely headed in the right direction it make sense i know there was a discussion about take a look at the population growth as it relates to police staffing we had discussed with the mayors budgeted office to be looked at strongly for the fire department as well we see new community that will

be huge within 10 to 15 years and be able to address our rvments to say the new hunters point and quality development and what's happening at park merced and as well as treasure island i appreciate our support and criticism it led to a discussion we really need to address our growing city and the shrinking fte count i support what you said about the planning fudges we need a dedicated professional and has at education and background to solely look at where we need to go 3 or 5 years from now, some of the trend in ems to be able to get us where we need to go so we can look proactively and not only retaking accurately we received fundin
