2:12 am
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
2:13 am
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.

2:15 am
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 welcome-specifically the training division and have been over to treasure island. i haven't 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 new-could 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.
2:16 am
>> 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 hadn't 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
2:17 am
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 don't cross and share information so that was the main point he was trying to
2:18 am
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 hayes-white, 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
2:19 am
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
2:20 am
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
2:21 am
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 be-again, i dont want to speak on behalf of the mayor or mayor's office. i was a a participant and one of 60 so there will be findings and report that comes from that will be a working plan so the answer is yes, and the feedback that we had as discussion points will be formulated into a report that we'll work off of. >> okay, there is nothing specific that you would like to share with us at this time? as a participant. >> probably not at this time. >> okay, well we'll come back
2:22 am
to that i'm sure. >> absolutely. >> thank you. i also would like to keep praise upon my fellow commissioner nakajo for his forward thinking along with mrs. sandy moorey in terms of creating cumofepee. he has been with cumofemy which is a wnderful institution in japan the entire 45 yearsism he is the only executive director cumofepy had so when we anounssed his retirement late last year-no, spring time, it was may-when he announced the retirement at the annual event jaws hit the floor. he was mobbed afterwards because i couldn't get close to him to say good bye because people
2:23 am
were gob smacked and couldn't believe he was reto retiring and the board aurd selected a successor. thinkerize moving well. cumofepy is not only in san francisco but the soult south bay as well sethank you to your dedication to the city and elders of the city and japan town in general. thank you. alright. i don't think i have any questions for you. >> thank you president. >> thank you. >> item 5, update on recent discussion regarding establishment of h-23 classification. >> hello commissioners. the h 23 a lot the issueerize intertwined. our intention is wants is get this done as soon as possible chblt the one thing or a couple things it is
2:24 am
intertwined with that we made progress is rc rotations rescue captains. ime awaited president o'connor to agree with it. that is tied into the 12 hour shift of the rescue captains as station 49. once we implement that we there is a hurdle to agree with the union on and once that is there the position can start as well as the h 23. the h 23 discussions will starlt after-that is implemented. >> that concludes your report? >> that concludes my report. my update. >> your update. any members the public that would like to comment on the update ? seeing none, public comment is closed. vise president cleveland. >> thank you, madam chair and
2:25 am
