building on the bravo exposure was untenable due to below grade construction and intense smoke coming up at the members. the survivability profile that we reported was poor. they raid -- they made a risk assessment that it was not safe due to the current conditions. a third alarm was struck under the direction of battalion fil files. it was extinguished in the delta exposure. they entered further into the fire buildings to ask ticklish the fire. with the coordination from the rear and interior tax, the fire was contained and they were able to descend the stairs and enter into the units. the fire watch was set through the night until investigators could return and daylight to continue their investigation. the cause of this fire still remains under investigation. an update on the activities of the p.i.o., and some notable incidents, april 1st, search

right now is 1500 to 3:00 am. ems is working with adc on the annual drill at the s.f. international airport. it will be held in september. the apparatus, not just the apparatus, i would like to think adc. there's a better turnaround and our rigs were getting out quicker. i hope that continues to be the case. it is not good to have a lot of our rigs backed up over there. if you have any questions, we

are here. attached my report is the addition of fire prevention investigation. permit violations and expections stats are available for you. if you have any questions, they are here. they continue to do community outreach. prevention dealed nine community outreach events this month. i'm working on the ot policy. they wanted that revised. there is it one more, i would say just one little section that i would like president o'connor to look at and approve. once that is done, that policy should be enacted pretty quickly. i'd also like to think adc to recommend our mru negotiations with the mea. thank you for at the chief and assigning myself and mark corso. it was a lot but it was really a great learning experience for

both of us and we appreciate the opportunity to do so. onto the airport, i would like to also acknowledge adc kyle lee on giving us the thumbs up from the faa. great job as well as lieutenant hanson and one of our mpp's from our civilian staff. his favourite phrases, not a problem. he gets it done and thank you very much to him. i could keep going, but that can stop there. if you have any questions, i am available. >> president cleaveland: thank you chief gonzalez. a very good report. very detailed. thank you for that. is there any public comment on chiechief gonzales' report? seeing then, public comments close. >> commissioner veronese: morning cheap. i noticed that the quick response vehicles have started.

is there any preliminary input, in your opinion on how successful that program is? >> president cleaveland: right now we do not have enough data to give comprehensive answers to that but i can tell you that i have spoken to the captains at some of our busier companies in that area, it has had an impact on their vehicles and giving them a little bit of rest i would say when they need it. as you know some of those engines go down to 40 or 50 runs a day which is way too much for those vehicles. a lot of those calls could be taken care of by the q.r.v. i'm getting that type of response, but we are going to be gathering as much data as we can and we also want them to work maybe in conjunction with ems six in that area. we will have the data available after another month or two. and then i can add it to this report. >> commissioner veronese: i noticed that on the ems six statistics you have that the march calls dropped from 144,

141 in february 244 in march. that is a pretty drastic fall. am i reading that correctly and decreasing calls? >> president cleaveland: what page are you on their commissioner? >> commissioner veronese: page . the numbers that are in red on that page. >> president cleaveland: what i had seen, what i saw in that report, and i talked to them is there is a 50 % -- 52 % call reduction from repeat callers who were calling a lot less. that is my understanding of it. that is basically telling us it is a successful program. we are trying to target those kind of colours, repeat callers and bring that down. a 52 % reduction. that number doesn't sound right from 144 to 49. not sure if i'm looking at the same numbers. >> commissioner veronese: maybe chief's annals can. >> vice-president nakajo: this. page 11, achieve. the numbers in red on that page.

am i reading that wrong? >> the way we reflect these numbers is from the high end callers, like the people that are at the top of the list, "called the most and we look at the reductions and how often the highest people call. so what we are showing here is not that we've dropped the number of people that are calling, it is a number of calls. the numbers that people in the passive called like ten times and this month they are calling six times. that is how we are looking at the reduction. what it means is although we still have the same client population and sometimes it may even be growing, we are making an impact on the people who are calling the most. we are meeting their needs in a way that is reducing the time that they call 9114 services to

meet their needs. >> president cleaveland: to me it looks like it is a good thing. what it means to mean, this should be no secret to anybody, this whole ems program, while i think it is a great program, it is a program that was born out of the inefficiencies of other departments that needed addressing particular issues. i noticed on page 12 you say that this is largely the result of working more closely with other agencies including social medicine team which is also sf gh, rate? public safety review meetings and then these other individuals that you haven't mentioned including the emergency -dependent -- department and case management. if we can get the department of health and those other agencies to step up, and further step up, i know they are working closely with us and other agencies, because i rode with ems six and

i can see how they work together, and how important they are in addressing this particular issue, but i think what this proves is that if we can get them to further step up, we can actually reduce the need for ems six and transition into a more robust q.r.v. program. is that a fair analysis? >> commissioner veronese: we are working with all of these agencies to reduce the number of calls, definitely. >> president cleaveland: okay. by the way, i don't want you to think that i'm not a huge fan of the ems six program, i think the department stepped up at a time where it really, the city really needed to step up and so i am a huge fan of it. but i'm not a fan of the fact that we had to be there for those issues. i think that is it. thank you so much. >> president cleaveland: thank

you. commissioner covington. >> commissioner covington: excuse me. [laughter] dr, while you are at the podium, can you please describe for us what a q.r.v. is. >> certainly. i'd be happy to. if i might first respond to your comments, commissioner of veronese, i do believe it takes a lot of resources from a lot of different agencies on the goal of ems six is to stabilize. what i would point out, however is for a lot of our clients, you know, we are the safe cadet. it takes a lot of continuous effort to maintain people in stable environments. the numbers that you see, without stigmatizing people who utilize ems and emergency services, our goal is to really move them into other services. it takes a lot of coordination.

i don't think this is something that, you know, with people this vulnerable, we can really expect people will be able to move off and do something, you know, independently. we really require a lot of continuous support. i do agree with you. it takes a lot of coordination and our goal is to move people into other services that are not emergency. but i think the point i would make is that, you know, we need and ability to continuously support people and respond. >> president cleaveland: i agree. >> to your question, commissioner covington, you know, i kind of deferred to the deputy chief and that's, the q.r.v. is specifically designed as a first response resource. to supplement some of our engine responses and other first response in the busiest parts of the city. so it allows a little bit more flexible appointment in that respect. >> president cleaveland: you did well on that one. [laughter] >> commissioner covington: what does the acronym stand for? >> president cleaveland: quick

response a vehicle. to further elaborate, just a little bit like we are very busy in that area of that city, obviously. our engines are busy and ambulances are very busy. but there are calls, often times where there might be, on these calls for quite a long time for a call that i wouldn't say as emergent as i want that unit on. the q.r.v. will get there quickly and they can assess it. if it is a patient declined transport or against medical advice or paperwork issue, or an ome case, they can sit there and we still have those other code three resources available for code three calls are not just that, it would help with our first in unit times as well as our first on scene als unit time to get our als unit times as low, anyway. we are meeting the standard. our first unit is right there but we are not there. i think that we can get there if we had another q.r.v. in that area because we have a lot of

calls in that area. >> commissioner covington: how would we go about making that happen? getting another vehicle? >> president cleaveland: i'm working on it. our buggies with these two chiefs and the chief, but we have four buggies coming in and five, we had a shortage of buggies. buggies meaning vehicles that are bc's, acs and rc's as well as ems six on the other q.r.v. is a similar type of vehicle is that. once we get those vehicles online that i might have another vehicle. personnel is another issue in working out with the chief and mark corso. >> commissioner covington: will you please keep us posted on that? >> president cleaveland: yes, ma'am. >> commissioner covington: thank you. i would like to ask chief is that enough to come back to the microphone. you said that that numbers have gone down. it with this population we are quoted meeting their needs, end

quote. what did you mean by that. >> what i meant by that, commissioner, thanks to the sport of the chief and the commission, we have added an extra person who can go and coordinate with all of these agencies while the field component of ems six is out there, still keeping up the work. what was happening before is because we only had the one unit going per day, it split the time between fieldwork and the administrative part. now that we have for two units that can handle each of those positions, we are able to be better coordinated with a different city agencies, find other agencies and other resources that can help our population as well as communicate with each other through telephone, radio, cell phone calc and go out immediately and trie try to fine patients and meet their needs. and as you can see just by looking at the numbers from two months of having it in service, the numbers are coming down. >> commissioner covington:

okay. very good. thank you for that detailed description. chief gonzalez, on page 2, you made reference to the marijuana hippie hills festivities and the 20 people who were taken ill. was there any determination as to what the substance was? >> i believe it was something in the brownies but i could find out. i'm not sure if they came up with exactly what it was. it may have been a strong dosage of thc that they weren't used to. they ended up stable. >> commissioner covington: all right it would be helpful if we knew what it was so that we could forewarn people, if at all possible. marijuana is now legal in this state, so... >> you have to be careful what level you go to. i mean obviously, the event was about that and what is actually

regulated and what's not regulated and what you are going to smoke is like anything else. >> commissioner covington: of the unknown. >> basically just don't put anything unknown in your body. >> commissioner covington: d. unknown might be dangerous. >> yeah. >> commissioner covington: okay. thank you very much. i do not have any other items. >> president cleaveland: thank you commissioner covington. commissioner hardeman. >> commissioner hardeman: thank you. and the first page of your report is very sad about the lady that lost her life in that fire. and it is a very difficult situation i'm sure for the 99 firefighters they are in for the command staff that was there. those are sad things. it is the number 1 thing that a firefighter has to deal with.

but it happens. people die in fires. >> we saw some of the first units to come back to the command post. they were very dejected that they could not have done more and i mean it affects the firefighters. the loss of life of of the civn and her family is very tragic. >> commissioner hardeman: we also know that we lost a couple firefighters, as everybody knows back in 2011. sometimes there is a judgement that has to be made to what is possible and what is impossible. i know one thing, it sure would not be any locking of courage in the firefighters. watching them over the number of years, the courage that they show on these roofs ad and climg around is amazing. anyway, that's a sad thing that happened and regrets on that.

the one thing you are probably most involved with you probably can't talk about. do you think the negotiations will be completed by mid month? i think it's supposed to be or how is that looking? >> i'm hoping so. i think it's along the right track. >> commissioner hardeman: okay good. i know you have a lot of respect of 798 and i'm happy to be -- to the chief to put you on this project, you are very capable and you've been around a while. you know the other side of the table pretty good and you know how this department runs. >> it's very interesting, i would say experience hayes-white and then as far as the chief of

the airport, i appreciate the chief identifying all the things she had to do and being identified as improving under the problems that they were faced with last year. i appreciate that because we all know you want to get a good score from the government that is overseeing it. >> thank you for all your hard work. i'm sure it wasn't easy. >> commissioner hardeman: i am glad to see that is done. a couple of lengthy reports. your last ten months report. and reading it, it's a little confusing. how does it look, how is it that the financial report for the past ten months calc is that where you think is is a good position to be in right now? on your revenues, expenditures, and over time? yes.

>> overall i believe we have a surplus of eight % projected. a couple hundred thousand owed. we were budgeted for what we anticipate coming in in our revenue. we are on target and mark corso can confirm. that's right. we are protecting a surplus at this time. a small one, hayes-white that is good -- >> commissioner hardeman: that is good. that is perfect. i'm glad to hear you say it out loud. and the rest of your report, as usual chief, is a pleasure to read all of these interesting facts and figures. you have about the same amount of calls each month. they don't seem to go down, that's for sure. even when we seem to be covering everything is working very good

and you have the staff. the number of calls don't decrease. those just happen. >> they are staying pretty consistent. the development in the population seems to be going up. so the calls will go up with it. >> commissioner hardeman: i think it's remarkable that you are able to do all those calls and a good job. thank you chief. >> thank you commissioner. >> commissioner veronese: one more question i forgot to ask you, i noticed the homeless or the homeless related statistics dropped off the report. if we could keep them in the report, month after month and maybe... >> president cleaveland: that's m why bad. that won't happen again. >> commissioner veronese: i remember you asked for it and we gave it to you but... >> president cleaveland: it should be in there along with ems six. >> commissioner hardeman: as far as the statistics and that information, i'm wondering how did they make it into the discussions with the mayor's office in regards to budgeting this year?

>> i wasn't part of those conversations but i can have mark corso come up. >> commissioner veronese: or chief, maybe that is a question for you? >> good morning again. mark corso. yes we've had discussions regarding, not just ems six but ems staffing in general and call volume and responses. that specific data has not been transmitted over to the mayor's office but we have discussed those issues and we are tracking it with them. >> commissioner veronese: ems six is not a homeless thing but a frequent-flier thing. i'm wondering perhaps, if it can bolster your argument and getting, for example,, the grant writer that the commission has asked for. i'm hoping that you would use that in the commission because i think it's pretty compelling. >> they are aware we are tracking it and we can provide an update for them. i believe it's been about six months now that we've been tracking that specific data. i'm happy to supply a report to the mayor's office on that.

>> commissioner veronese: thanks. >> president cleaveland: thank you commissioner veronese. >> vice-president nakajo: thank you for your comprehensive report, which again, has so much information as to the various responsibilities. i will comment on a few items that came up at this particular report. and perhaps you might want to approach the podium as well. in terms of the comments and the discussion in terms of ems six, and commissioner veronese, when i look at the information on page 11 in terms of your reference of the reduction from february calls to march calls, 1412144, it reflects to me of

significant reduction. i also am curious as to the accuracy of that number. but with the feedback that i am giving and with the reinforcement of the accuracy, what it tells me preliminarily is that the administration's decisioprocess decision budgetao add another member or members of our support systems to ems six now has a direct relationship in these numbers. for my most recent right along with ems six, both with the two captains, i apologize for forgetting at this particular time period i want to make sure i am saying them correctly because they do deserve the recognition. part of that was being able to witness through the day the

course of the ride alon right at also the dialogue that occurred at the table when she was in the conferences. it included both you chief and chief malloy. it was a coordination of information and part of that discussion was the addition of personnel, which at that time had just came on, with the goal to assist the team to be able to go out there and do their job. for myself, nothing withstandi withstanding, a q.r.v. for me is a relatively new concept. i call it a demonstration project, if you will. very often, in operation phase, a demonstration project becomes operational. but q.r.v., i am asking for verification if i don't have this copperhead did, are like a mini version of the ambulance crew that we have. i'm paraphrasing. am i off on that? >> it's a squad and a nontransport a vehicle.

it can be two paramedics or right now that crews are one paramedic and an emt. >> vice-president nakajo: you said there are two members of the crew on the q.r.v.? it is an extension without transport. and ems six, on the formulation of that, we are trying to be careful in terms of categorical's, homeless, frequent flyers or whatever. but repeat callers, frequent flyers. there was a charge with a formulation of ems six to go out and identify those members and to reduce those numbers called and so that we, the ems service can respond to other calls with multiple kinds of connections between our units. so that's what it reflects to me, commissioner, is it looks like the addition of the staff reinforcement has helped to the reduction of the frequent flyers numbers. only because again, part of that right along when i went with

captain simon, we went to general hospital and i met the gentleman who, that day, i think it was 1:00 in the afternoon, was already responsible for 17 calls. the other gentleman that we saw on the mission street, i think it was nine calls within a certain period of time. everybody was in the system. so for me, to the alcohol centre on the silver centre and the navigation centre, that interested -- inner-city cooperation is something that we need to do, but also i think with the inventions, it takes time to be operational. in terms of logistics. i still see it is a continuation. if they help -- health department in other departments can see this and recognize it and can support us in some ways, that is fine. as long as there is a coordination. that's just my opinion. if there is funding to assist us i will take that too. if the justifications are there

for that enhancement, that is when i will take it as well. i look at ems six as a specialty team, if you will, commissioners, that specifically were targeted to do a specific job. i think we're doing a good job at that. i think our numbers are starting to reflect that. i still think there's a lot more work to be done. it has nothing against the concept of q.r.v.'s but i'm still looking to see how that occurs. you want to reinforce any of this comments that i made? >> certainly. so commissioner nakajo, you do have a finger on it. what we find with a lot of our highest users is that multiple agencies that d do work with th. we all encounter them in -- and everyone attempts to do their piece. the people we are seeing the most frequently, i would add this is not the majority of people in the system. like a majority of the people in the system are well served by, you know, a single function or single agency. but the people that we tend to focus on with this program are people who have unmet needs.

and so ems six does serve coordination roles. that is very important. i think what you are describing is very much true. adding this additional position allows a higher degree of coordination. we've been responding a lot during the highest and most busy times in the system. when we can encounter people. there is also a need during the less busy times, and also when other services are available in other people are available that we need to coordinate ways. and having that additional position has allowed us to improve that. i'm very pleased with seeing decreasing numbers. this -- there is always a need that is unmatched by any single resource. that is why ems six has had ongoing needs for continued efforts on th a varying individuals. you know, we accept the fact that as some people get transitioned into more stable situations where they don't have acute emergent needs, other people do come up that need our attention more. but, yeah, i would agree. it is a somewhat different role done, first response vehicle. if you look at the configuration

there are similarities. the vehicle can fit a -- configuration look similar in some of the personnel look similar, but it is kind of a different role. >> vice-president nakajo: do you want to comment? would you like to comment? >> i just want to mirror what the doctor was saying. they are both specialty units. each one is dedicated to a slightly different mission and they do have overlapped. and again, we think the commission and the chief for the support and getting ems six up. i mean, it's definitely showing results already. thank you for that. >> vice-president nakajo: again i thank you for your presentation. i think the colleagues on the fire commission have to ask questions i need to be looked at and to be discussed in terms of formulation of how we can roll our numbers but also have an effect on the target population. thank you for the oversight as well commissioner.

i appreciate this. i just want to have a clarification because again, dependent upon what our interpretation is, it's healthy to bring that up any discussion such as this. i don't see it numbers are going away in a sense that this number particularly are occurring, but perhaps, the population of san francisco, in terms of those particular special needs, realistically, i don't see those numbers decreasing. that's just a general stigma. i am no expert. thank you very much for your presentation. president cleaveland thank you very much. >> president cleaveland: thank you very much vice president nakajo. commissioner veronese you had a follow-up question? >> commissioner veronese: i figured i'm here. i might as well. commissioner nakajo, i want to thank you. you are absolutely right. and chie chief i want to commenu on finding the need for the second position because i think what this says is the fact that the second position has come in

and has been so helpful, i think if we look at what the second position is, which is somebody that is not out in the field that is engaging other departments to come in and help out on this issue in a way that they should. and the fact that we are being so successful at that, i want to commend to the chief for seeing that gap and filling it. thanks chief. nice job. >> president cleaveland: thank you commissioner veronese and thank you to chief gonzalez for your report. the ems six program is definitely a very important program and it showing results and we will have to keep it up. thank you. madam secretary, will you call the next item? >> item six, commission reports. report on commission activities since last meeting on april 25th, 2018. >> president cleaveland: is there any public comment on this item? seeing nonpublic comments are close. commissioners?

i see vice president nakajo up there. >> vice-president nakajo: no i am sorry mr president. >> president cleaveland: commissioner veronese? >> commissioner veronese: thank you mr president. i want to report on one item i discussed in the last meeting in the agenda item for future agenda items, i did have a meeting with the chief. we discussed the peer support resolution that i had written. she had had some time to review it with her department, with our department, i guess. and we went over it in detail. i explained the intent behind it which was a little easier to do when you're sitting across the table from somebody as opposed to sending them a document. and i received the red line edit that we had discussed during our meetings and i have actually made, i have accepted all of the revisions that she had request requested. chief thank you for that meeting. i think it was a productive

meeting and i think we have a real opportunity here. i have not had the opportunity yet to communicate that document to the attorney or the commission, and i think clark and i am hoping to get discussion from the presidents since i am new at this process. i'm thinking that i get it to the union and the city attorney first to get their edits, and then get it to the commission. but i'm open to suggestions on how you suggest i do that. but it is ready to be communicated to the union and the city attorney and also ready to be communicated to the commission for that matter. i do want to point out two items. one, this month's menta is menth awareness month. and two, the president of the united states back in january, past the law enforcement mental health and wellness act. and as you can imagine, along with passing that act, comes a lot of money on this issue.

so, i'd like to stress the importance of a grant writer. if we get that grant writer soon, i can see if we are at the forefront of this issue, and we create a state-of-the-art peer support unit, that we have a pretty compelling argument to the federal government to get some of that funding to help us pay for some of the things that could cost us money in the resolution. that's it. thank you for the meeting. >> president cleaveland: thank you commissioner veronese. vice president nakajo? >> vice-president nakajo: thank you very much president cleaveland. i want to take this opportunity because i failed to do it at the last meeting. it may seem a little post by the japanese community has its annual cherry blossom festival and i failed to recognize the chief and the command force on the members who are in the audience for joining us last april 22nd and commissioner covington as well. thank you so much all of you for that participation as well. thank you very much, chief. thank you mr president.

>> president cleaveland: okay. i'd like to thank chief rivera for giving me a tour of the station 16 i 16 yesterday. station 16 is our rebuilt project in the marina. it's looking really good. so it should be open on september 11th? this year? and i think everyone's going to be impressed by the state-of-the-art firehouse that it is. thank you for giving me that to her. thank you very much. madam secretary, let's let the next item. >> item seven. agenda for next and future fire commission meetings. >> president cleaveland: is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comments are closed. commissioners? commissioner covington? >> commissioner covington: thank you. i have a few items that i would like to propose for the future

agenda is. congratulations to chief ollie for correcting the previous deficiencies in the airport. i think it would be nice now that she has become head of the airport division that we hear from her first hand what's going on at the airport. so i would like to put that on the agenda. and then, a conversation regarding what's happening with the search for a new location for the training facility. that's a very important issue. i actually would like to have that on the agenda, you know, every few meetings or so. i don't want it to drop off of our radar. we need to make sure that

progress is being made so that we are not caught flat-footed on that. i think it would also be helpful to have the chief of the department give us her overview and her vision regarding the retirement in the department and the projections. what i always referred to as the grey tsunami. a number of people who will have 25 or 30 years in the department deciding to go on to the next careers. so i would like some more detailed information on that. and we have a need to know the location of the new firehouse that will eventually be going in in hunters point. so whatever planning is happening regarding that particular issue, i think the commission would be well served

to be well informed. and i'm not sure how to go about this, but it would be very good for us to either arrange for commissioners to go singly to the official chief process residents to see the condition of the residence, to see what needs to be done. i don't think it would be possible for us to have a meeting they are, because of the lay of the land. it's not, it's good for receptions, but not for accommodating, you know, so many people in one spot and sightlines would prevent people from actually seeing. this is something that comes up on the budget yearly.
