let's everybody on the property that there is a violation. >> i know for example, some of the registers and there's a notice that goes down to the property owner. i think you bring up a good point. notification. is there something that we need to do or something you could do to do the same for example, when a complaint comes in could an official notice be sent to the building or property owner immediately that a complaint has been filed? is that possible? >> yeah. that's something that we can look into. again, i would want to, be a little bit cautious about sort of the method that, it should not be about making money but providing people are compliance.

but there certainly ways that we can set up a notification. >> i think the same way that we will send a notification registration, we should do the same in the case of a complaint. i think that would be really helpful because, part of us as you said we want people to be compliant. part of doing so misses her complain of property owners notified in many cases, potentially they could probably make sure that their tenants or themselves may be our compliance or immediately you know, begin the process of stopping doing with her doing to wreck a lot. >> i agree. i do want to mention, the variety and nature of complaints of we received is really all over the map. we had some very detailed complaints.

some of them are just people fording us unregistered listings under b&b. which, it doesn't tighten address it doesn't give us anyone to notify and it's not terribly useful for us >> once he began the process. once you have the information you have i think that a notice is appropriate for you get to the point of posting the violation of what that is going to be. i'm not certain how that would work but i do think that is worth looking into because i think it can help get many of the folks were basically breaking the law to comply before we get to a point where there are large penalties assessed. bamboo look into that. i want to say that we have been reaching out to some of the larger property, apartments and

management. let them know that we are here. we can assist them. finding out information sending out some of a template that they can put to their occupants and remind them that not only is it against the law, but it's a violation of their lease. were try to reach out engage in these folks and provide them with that type of tools. but we can certainly explore your suggestion of sending a notification. >> okay. thank you. >> did you respond to the last speaker's statement about the tenants filing or whatever complaints?

with record, i'm not sure where that number came from. we have received complaints from the tenants unit and we have followed up on that and have violations abated. i do with a 3000 number comes from, again, as i mentioned some of our complaints that come on are just in the form of someone fording us sort of a list of a bunch of b&b listings. again, those are terribly useful for us. to be honest. we go out and we routinely find out those ourselves so around that. in terms of prioritizing not just the fact that somebody is an unregistered house but they have multiple properties at their doing a great vacation and we know that. if there was a spreadsheet with 3000 b&b listings, that's one

thing. we have received complaints from the tenants as an organization we followed up we brought the properties into compliance. >> see no further questions. we will continue this item to the call of the chair. we are adjourned.

>> so nice to see everyone in here. we really appreciate you coming and taking part in this with us. it's been such an exciting year for the san francisco fire department. we are in the midst of a year-long celebration for our 150th anniversary and we are so pleased that we are able to include this wonderful ceremony in our agenda and special events that we've had plans for to help us celebrate this year. so we are really really happy about this data we been looking forward to it for a while. i would like to welcome our federal state and local partners and elected officials. our invited guests and members of the public. and the active and retired members of the san francisco fire department and this includes several members who responded to the marina districts in the fire boat, phoenix, who you will see over

there 27 years ago today. for the--earthquake. it's no go incidents that we are holding the ceremony on this date. you know, our fire boats have proven to be unique assets and very necessary assets were san francisco. i'm sure everyone is well aware of the vital role that our fire boat, phoenix, and are members of the department played in saving the marina district from burning up. 27 years ago today so again, we really like to thank those and we are really excited that you're here with us today to open celebrate this. so without further ado, i would like everyone to stand as the san francisco fire department veterans association presents the collars and leads us in the

pledge of allegiance followed by the national anthem, followed by award winning artist, amino marks wife of san francisco firefighter david hawkins who is also united states naval veteran of desert storm. >> now i'd like to invite our beloved department chaplain father john--to give the invocation. >> as we celebrate 150 years of bravery and service to the city of san francisco, we give thanks to all of the brave men

and women of both our fire department and our police department. as we gathered to dedicate and commission the boat today i would like to just ask for a moment of silence as we remember the young police officer who shot and as we pray for kevin's recovery today. >> >>[moment of silence] >> lord, our god, we ask you to bless all the men and women who serve on this new fire boat. watch over them and keep them safe. remember them now as they dedicate their lives to saving others both on land and on see. let's this boat and bless ourselves to your service. amen. thank you. >> thank you, father green. we

are very very pleased to be joined by our first speaker today. please help me welcome united states vendor, diane feinstein. >> >>[applause] >> thank you very much. mr. mayor, distinguished fire chief, members of the department and ladies and gentlemen, i just want to begin by saying to the riordan band, you were just great. i love the uniforms. they do so much. i hope that some of you have a career in music because you're really good and when i was mayor i had something called a command performance in the bands used to come down and perform in city hall. mr. mayor, maybe that's an idea? >>[laughing] so my favorite was at the time the benjamin franklin middle school band but i think today it would be you.

so thank you so much for this performance. the clapping >>[applause] when i was mayor was more than 27 years ago my the fire boat was and looked at as a useless appendage of the fire department. it was a lot of pressure on me to zero it out in the firefighter's budget. in the fire department budget and i never did. because i believe it was our safe point should something really happened and then the year after i left office that something did happen. who would have believed at the time that the giants would have been at candlestick park at 5 pm in the afternoon playing in i think it was the third game of the world series. and who would believe that the area struck at least

by the earthquake was, in fact, the marina. all the planning that we had done indicated that was going to be the areas where we had a number of unreinforced brick buildings. namely, chinatown and the tenderloin. instead, it was still the marina is built on fill. well, i was getting ready to go to a queens bench and make a speech and instead i went down to the marina. i saw the fire boats come in. i saw the portable hydrant being rolled out and i asked why now and i was told all the water mains were out. so that hydrant went up to visit darrell street and actually, to great extent saves the day. the man who invented this portable fire hydrants name was frank blackburn. he was the deputy chief of the

department. it was a real step forward. the hydrant was subsequently used in rwanda for the transfer of water during a terrible drought and was credited with saving the lives of 140,000 people. so this is where the protected productivity, the design, of a command staff of the san francisco firearm-fire department produced something that had never been done before. it was very special and i always became a firm backer of the phoenix. never got zero doubt in my nine years as mayor and so here we are today with a bran new phoenix-well brand-new fire boat that is going to be named. it will be bigger. it will be better. and it will be the failsafe should something

happen and these mains go out again. so i want to say, congratulations fire departments. frank blackthorn isn't here but i just want you to know wherever you are, that it was really a good step forward and i want to thank the san francisco fire departments for all you do. i had the privilege in the nine years that i was mayor of going to every major alarm in this city and so i actually saw you were. once i saw that it was interesting for me because all the union battles became nothing. it was all worth it. thank you so much for your service. >> >>[applause] >> thank you so much sen. feinstein. it is such a pleasure to have you here with us today. please, help me welcome the mayor of san francisco, the hon. edwin lee

to say a few words. the bank. >> >>[applause] >> thank you very much. good morning, everyone. sen., it's a joy a pleasure to an honor to be with you this morning to christen this next fire boat. it's monday morning everybody. we are at atc park. we got the riordan high school band. i've got my feels copy. i'm with the san francisco fire departments. mondays don't get any better. >>[laughing] so i want to say, thank you as we add to the incredible need of apparatuses that we must have in this evolving city. i know that the

fire boat is going to be invaluable. the chief and i and the commission know that the equipment, not only has to be replaced, it has to be modernized. as our city is growing. with mission bay that we are in now, with the growing population that we have, and the bayshore, the south bay, all of the areas of the city, we need the modern apparatus. this morning i'm joining all of you to say, thank you, to the men and women of our fire department because this apparatus not only complements the things that we did, the guardian and the phoenix, but it also complements the men and women who on on everyday basis, whenever the call is made, you rush in to that danger in order to relieve us from danger. so i personally want to say thank you to each and every one of you because that apparatus replacement is helping. we have just made investments in your ambulance and i know-and convert and achieve our working together with me to make sure

that response teams and her influences are there. they are there today because of your work with us. now, the fire boat with his new apparatuses and its new ability to pump bay water into wherever we need is going to be an incredible answer to the needs. now i will also say that this new fire boat is more than just a piece of equipment. it is about our cities resilience because we have more and more with the use of all of the equipment that we have and the training that we are doing with fleet week, and i know lewis and the three-week association are here. just last month we celebrated fleet week we celebrated more than that could the sen. and i were there to see the actual training that is going on between our fire department, all of our first

responders in the city, our police department, of course, in our health department working together with our federal and state agencies to make sure we train to the level in which the next big event will call upon us. our neighborhood emergency response teams, they are training over 26,500 500 residents of our city to be better prepared to be able to save themselves, their neighbors, their friends in the community. that is about resiliency. that is about being really prepared. the good story about this new fire boat is that the bulk of it was funded, thanks to the senator's advocacy on our behalf and others. the majority of it was funded through fema and federal grants. well, you know fema usually comes in after the event happens to have fema come in before an event happens is what we have been always trying to do in our city, to be better

prepared. have all of the responding agencies, whether it is pg&e were whether small or utilities, whether it is all our departments working together ahead of time so that we never introduce each other at the time of an emergency. this is what we do and this is what this apparatus will do. so i want to say thank you. i want to say thank you to the men and women of local 798 for your dedication to working with the commission, the chief, the city, to make sure we are at our best. to make sure were all prepared and of course thank you to our police department our sheriff department all the first responders as well. this is an incredible time for our city to be adequately prepared to make sure that we are investing properly and we are prepared for the immediate future. thank you very much. >> >>[applause] now the president of our fire commission francine covington. >>good morning everyone. isn't

this a fabulous day? wow. mother nature loves the fire department. you can see that. >>[laughing] thank you all so much for being here. this is such a fantastic day for us because we get our third fire boat. as a city we are not growing out oh we are growing up. becoming more densely populated and we need to have as many resources available to us as we possibly can have. i want to thank the mayor for his support. i definitely want to -excuse me-thank sen. feinstein for her support when she was mayor and now in her position as sen. it's very very crucial

that we have this support because we were able to get to more than $8 million in fema funding. the process of going through naming the boat was delightful. we received more than 300 names from schoolchildren and the guardian and the phoenix were also named by schoolchildren. so, this continues a a tradition in the department and you'll find out with a winning name is an injustice gets. i would be remiss if i did not acknowledge by fellow commissioners starting with commissioner sancho was on the zombies are longest-serving commissioner. 21 years as commissioner on the fire commission. and we also have commissioner cleveland and commissioner hardeman so again thank you all very much for being here and i just can't tell you how delightful this is.

department it is about teamwork. sometimes we don't always see eye to eye when it comes down to what we really need to do the filling our mission we get it done and i really really appreciate that. part of the team though as i was growing up was a great admiration for the mayor during the 1980s as she took over a difficult time in the late 70s. now she's our sen. a great respect and she's been an inspiration to all of us. i do know personally from so the gentleman i work with when i started at the fire boat worked there for about 18 months would allow about maritime operations. the importance of a fire boat. sen. feinstein is absolutely correct and i don't be she gives herself enough credit whatever aides at a time later became the fire commissioner have the rough, she sent him down multiple times and she herself can down to station 35 during her time as mayor because she was getting a lot of pressure to retire the fire boat. it's an expensive vessel to maintain. we all know that. but all of that those arguments, those discussions of those all went out the window 27 years ago today when the fire boat phoenix pumped throughout the night and saves most of the marina a great part of the

marina get so sen. feinstein is very special with us that you're here today. we really appreciate it. of course, mayor ryu appreciate your leadership and support are always a champion for preparedness. and that does not go without us noticing here in the san francisco fire department get we really appreciate all your support of our department throughout the year. or commissioners also appreciate your support that we also have a beautiful craft behind us which were democrats and berries. we would like to say thank you for the craftsmanship from jensen maritime and bigger corporation. then as well we've had a great partner throughout the year and very proud of the partnership since i've achieved since 2004 has even gotten better with pacific gas & electric were happy to have vice president of electric operations gary anderson with us today been a great partner and specifically the router
