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 funding for ems go

supervision plan not fully if you wanted we're looking how to deal with that and we're grateful for funding but there are certain things we didn't quite get fund for we believe that we're definitely headed in the right direction but press for the staffing we believe we need and the equipment we believe we need as i state about 90 percent goes to the well deferring men and women in our department but that leaves a relatively small amateur for the fuel and facilities so we want to make sure we believe through the planning and policy analysis process we'll be able to further plead our case full. >> as a result of you know there was a recent paramedic class and as well as new

ambulances has that led to a decrease in the response time. >> yes. it has i can put this slide up if this projector works. >> and yes we absolutely have you were a evaluated member we saw the response times last summary for the guidelines we like to have an ambulance on scene within 10 minutes and it is grown in the meow percentage actually over last year, it grew to over 14 minutes we've seen just the data the most recent data dropping that down approximately 77 percent of the time we remember getting there in 10 percent in not the 90 percent actually wore seeing i have copies wore getting back 80 down to the 11 minute range

in the 90 per actually so 96 point plus time we're getting in 9 response time. >> what you have in stubborn moving forward with this new proposed budget how soon down that is fuel below the 10 minute. >> it is nearly continue years we've fountain below the 10 minute time. >> but almost 87 percent of time within that range we feel is a huge improvement even from 9 months ago that's the collaborative effort of many people in the room. >> i wholeheartedly agree with that i wanted to ask about two other

- one other issue specific to some of the challenges that we have had in the past with mandatory over time that was a challenge and that seems to not be as a large challenge as it used to be but still a challenge from mined with h 1920 firefighters the firefighters paramedics i know we have i think i've discussed that with kate howard in terms of the possibility of looking at the new academy classes instead of h-2 to h-3 and wanted to check in with you over the mandatory classes with the h-3 paramedics

and their approach to challenge from h-2 to h-3 clarification. >> you're correct our mandatory over time has decreased it remains a challenge in h 1920 level 3 for the als stations we'll get that up to thirty. >> we have 9, h-2 firefighters that vsz pharmacy fundraiser licenses and are in the process of going through a 3 week training period to become transition to h b and that's 9 more and hiring as part of the cadets 14 members from station 49 h-2 level paramedics through a train to clarify as

firefighters that's years end 23 and the new classes for january we'll take into account the numbers at this point but we will have a portion from station 49 be able part of the class we're looking at the retirement from the hrgs level 2 and 3 by the are comfortable with what we have to get us to the numbers where the mandatory overtime will drop down. >> you basically, i just want to make sure i understand you that that based on the number of stations we were at what level are you at now and what level are you proposing to get to in terms of h-3. >> so we were at typically staffing about thirty fire stations als and we've dropped

to 27 we're still for the most part meeting our 7 minute goal 3 thresholds the biggest one that was enhancing ambulance response time this is the ambulance on scene within 10 minutes in the per actually having a paramedic that is 7 minutes with the als engine company we're meeting the announced we like thirty better it is a comfort zone we feel hoping get back to that at the end of the fiscal year you wouldn't changing one the classes to an h-3 class get you this year sooner or later. >> one of the analysis feels weighing we'll be there at the end of the year. >> so the classdoesn't matter.

>> thought and how many are anticipated in the class the upcoming each academy class. >> approximately 48. >> for one the class to have half. >> 14 and the next in january 10th in station 49 that gives us 33. >> ultimate the position that is being funded to help to analyze this kind of information is useful in making or assisting in discussions about what kinds of firefighters are needed in general based on capacity and so on and so forth and right in a perfect world i'd like to see

all the fir engines staffed it is the same make up throughout the committee i don't want to give additional headaches to the mayor's office but oil with an investment in train and personnel to have of fire engine with a part-time it would solve problems that is baby steps back to the thirty and hoping by the end of that fiscal year we'll be a .32. >> okay. i want to bring us back to the issue that supervisor yee brought up regarding hiring people from the community i know that the cadet program established under the police department would allow for kids that graduate from high school in san francisco an opportunity

to participate in a paid cadet program until their 21 when they qualify to go into the police academy to be a police officer a way to make sure that young people that graduate from high school in san francisco have a way into working for the police department and having kids who grew up in the community police the community they grew up in i think that it would be great to have some similar at the fire department and so i just wanted to - i know that the reserve program exists there are a cadet program i'm not completely fume with the cadet program as much the reserve program but definitely want to see some kind of similar program that allows for more young people who grew up in san francisco access to

job opportunity at the department i want to through that out that there. >> i wholeheartedly agree with you i would commit to going to the same entities benny hoff or for that matter it is premature but the thought of having a cadet where their exposed to all of public safety so sometimes in police department or the fire department as well as the sheriff's department because those types of careers there's a lot of commonality i've not approached chief suhr but the concept of a public safety cadet program not only the police department i want to reserve the

right to talk to chief suhr but the types of youth towards the police cadet program. >> last but not least i want to bring up the fire station station 5 and he meet with sxhifrgs covington that braurngs brought to my attention not certain why we didn't think about it before i know we are going to do a complete tear down of station 5 and complete plans are underway to rethe p build station 5 with some of the challenges with housing the option to build potentially a whole affordable housing project above that particular fire station i don't think it crossed anyone's mind i wanted to ask if you're aware that that might

have come up or has there been talk about potentially building the heirs above the fire station can i talk about it is on my radar several years ago like 10 years ago there was discussions about a similar kept for air rltd rights to build above the station we did an analysis at the end of the day we did work with real estate and didn't pan out i'll have to go back and take into account why but certainly wore open to i've spoken with vice president koch ton it is certainly worth exploring given the hockey's and turk and webb sincere is a stakeholder location in the city

i don't have the expertise but work with the department of real estate my goal not to necessarily delay the project but look at the possibility because it is challenge to find affordable housing and i just want to make sure we are x mror our decision. >> any other commissioners questions or comments. >> mr. rose your report. >> mr. chairman and members of the committee and wanting breed on page 53 of our report first of all mr. chairman you called item 5 i committed we consider the approval for a policy matter we know that the revenue is incorporated with the balance of the freptsd budget. >> on the recommendations on page 53 our recommended reduction for the proposed
