12:00 pm
county water district. so the pending actions to rescind the recycled water ordinance were here at the land use committee hearing in july pending approval by the board of supervisors and the mayor, and the legislation would take effect in october. so the elimination of dual plumbing requirements would apply to any construction projects in any stage of planning, approval or construction, and i'm happy to answer any questions. >> supervisor tang: thank you. i guess i will have to seek you out so i can see that pitcher on your desk. so i think that what the p.u.c. is doing here makes absolutely sense. i think -- absolute sense. i think the 2015 ordinance passed by this board was a good one. compared to the 1991 ordinance that was originally in place, you know, there's a difference in terms of what is required for difference size buildings, so for example, the 1991 ordinance applies to new remodelled buildings over 40,000 square feet as well as
12:01 pm
new and existing irrigation over 10,000 square feet, but the 2015 ordinance sponsored by, i believe it was supervisor wiener at the time applies to new development projects that are 250,000 square feet or greater. so can you just describe for us kind of what we might be potentially missing out on as a result of just relying on the 2015 ordinance. >> yes. we did meet with the planning department and look at their pipeline report, and there are currently nine projects that are smaller than 250,000 square feet or greater than 40,000 square feet, so the ordinance would miss those. on the other hand, that is something they could do where we would potentially provide a grant for them to be able to do dual plumbing and a treatment plant in a facility. >> supervisor tang: okay. so those nine projects are actually trying to help them -- >> well, that's what the grant could go for. >> supervisor tang: okay. okay. my understanding was those nine
12:02 pm
projects potentially fall under projects sponsored under mayor's office of housing. i don't know if that's -- >> yeah. we're looking into that. we're not aware that any way, but we're double-checking with them to find out if any are. certainly, the mayor's office of housing, if they didn't have to do dual plumbing, that would be a cost savings that we would be happy to make sure happened. >> supervisor tang: okay. because certainly, again, i think this totally makes sense. we want to make sure that especially if there are city projects, that we are partners with nonprofit developers on for, say, 100% affordable housing or so forth, that we certainly wouldn't want this to be a hindrance of both development of those projects, but i think moving forward, having this apply to developments of 250,000 square feet or greater is a good one. colleagues, any questions or comments on this particular item? okay. well, thank you very much, and all right. we'll open up item six to public comment, then.
12:03 pm
any members of the public who wish to speak, come on up. okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. [ gavel ]. >> supervisor tang: all right. colleagues, can we get a motion on item six to send this to the full board with a positive recommendation? >> supervisor kim: make a motion to send this to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> supervisor tang: all right. and we'll do that. so i'll go back to item five. >> supervisor kim: thank you, supervisor tang for the additional time. i've passed out copies that incorporates the three recommendations made by planning commission, one on the height in making that consistent throughout the district. the second to replace habitable buildings with structures because there's no definition of habitable. and then, second, to ensure that this is on any parcel that contains only a surface parking
12:04 pm
lot and no existing structures so that we won't distinguish between parcels where there are parking lots that didn't get permits which exist in the south of market. so i'm going to make a motion to amend this item as articulated. >> supervisor tang: okay. thank you, supervisor kim. and questions, comments, on the amendments? no? okay. so we'll take those amendments without objection. >> supervisor kim: and i'd like to move to send this item with a fupositive recommendati to the full board? >> supervisor tang: all right. we will send that to the full board with a positive recommendation. all right. mr. clerk, is there any further items before us today? >> clerk: there is no further business.
12:05 pm
>> supervisor tang: okay. great. we are adjourned. >> this is a reminder to silence all electronic devices. our commission regular meeting wednesday july 25th the time
12:06 pm
is 4:59. item one roll call. [roll call] item two. general public comment. members of the public may address the commission for up to three minutes on any matter within the commission jurisdiction and does not appear on the agenda. speaker shall address their remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners or department person them. commissioners are not to enter debate or discussion with the speaker the lack of response by the commissioners or department personnel does not necessarily constitute agreement with or support of statements made
12:07 pm
during public comments. >> do we have any public comment? please come forward. state your name. >> good evening commissioners. thank you for your time. i'll be brief. i wanted to address the commission regarding the pier support service resolution that's offered by commissioner veronese i'm daniel griffin. i'm captain stationed at the airport now. prior to being at the airport i was a counselor for five and a half years. i wanted to briefly touch on.
12:08 pm
this resolution. first of all, just little bit of my knowledge about history. it's my understanding stress unit came to be approximately 35 years ago under chief condon. you had three but my understanding it's. two. this is we're talking now going back to 1982 and 1983. our call volume at the department has increased dramatically. scope of work for first responders has increased with the addition of our medical and ems division and e ms runs we go on now.
12:09 pm
stress unit counselors since the inception to now, our scope has increased dramatically. previously we dealt primarily with substance abuse. now we still do deal with substance abuse obviously that's probably a good 50% of our work. additionally we deal with post-traumatic stress related issues and injured personnel which takes up considerable amount of time that wasn't allocated previously. my feeling is clearly that i think we would benefit by approving the pier support resolution that's offered by commissioner veronese. the police support model which is -- it would be beneficial to our members and the unit. thank you very much. >> thank you.
12:10 pm
any further public comment? public comment is closed. >> item three. approval of the minutes. discussion and possible action to approve the meeting minutes of june 27, 2018. >> is there any public comment on the minutes? seeing none. public comment is closed. commissioners? moved by commissioner veronese. >> second. >> seconded by commissioner hardeman an all in favor submitted. thank you. >> item four, request for leave to attend the first rescue international conference. discussion and possible action to approve chief of department's request with pay for three days august 7th through august 9th 2018 to attend the 2018 fire rescue international conference sponsored by the international association of fire chiefs in dallas, texas. registration, travel and
12:11 pm
accommodations will be covered by the iafc. >> thank you. is there any public comment on this item? seeing none. public comment is closed. commissioners? commissioner covington. >> commissioner covington: i move that we authorize this request. >> do i have a second? commissioner veronese seconds it. all in favor of approving the request say aye. it's unanimous, thank you. >> item five. chief of department's report. report from chief of department joanne hayes-white on events within the department sense the fire commission meeting on june 27, 2018 including budget academy, special events,
12:12 pm
communications and outreach to other government agencies and public report from the administration, deputy chief janeane nicholson on administrative divisions and homeland security and training within the department and report from chief of operations, mark gonzalez, on overall field operations including greater alarm fires, emergency medical services, bureau of fire preemption and airport division. >> i'm aware on june 11th president cleaveland you asked to withhold on that meeting so that all of you can attend inauguration of the new mayor. i like to congratulate our new
12:13 pm
mayor on leading our city and continuing to get the great support from the mayor's office for the san francisco fire department. thank you for also making better priority and can' canceling the meeting. i appreciate that deputy chief acted as chief of department. it worked how pretty well. he did very good job. i really appreciate the support and the time off. it was very enjoyable. two weeks in ireland with my son. i really appreciate that time and support. i'm refreshed as i return and as i get my report on the budget,
12:14 pm
we are in the process of closing out the fiscal year '18 budget. we continue to work with the comptrollers office. we don't see any red flags. we are waiting for approval and loading of the '19 budget. all that's working out according to -- just as we thought it would. regarding the division of training, 124th class in 18th week in final weeks of that academy. we will graduate 49 members on friday august 10th at 9:30 a.m. you'll be receiving official invitation. they're on my desk for tomorrow. once again, i appreciate the great work of deputy chief sato and his staff for preparing the new recruits for their assignments in the field. they'll do six months and six months on a truck company.
12:15 pm
as it came down, i'll give the numbers towards the end of my presentation and report -- we did take a look where we're at in terms of staffing. we had 73 retirements in the last fiscal year through june 30th. slightly less than we projected. we took a look what we have budgeted through 2020 in terms of academy. we are planning to have three academies that remain. we have decided to put off the 125th academy by a few months. we will -- it will be a class of 54 as opposed to starting end of august and september of this year. we're going to place it in january of 2019. that came from looking at how many -- what our staffing model look like. we're always trying to replace
12:16 pm
new hires with those that have been retired. we feel that that was a decision. away wanted to wait until the end of fiscal year to make that decision. we will have those three classes. there's a slight alteration on the start date. during that period of time in the fall we anticipate having what we call bump-up academy. these are advancement opportunities for current members. that will take place in the early fall and september roughly. basically, we're looking at approximately 20 that have the paramedics licenses. we have hired firefighters with paramedic licenses. we're looking at placing approximately ten h2 firefighters and advancing them to h3 level fully cross-train. that training will take place in the early fall.
12:17 pm
then later towards end of the year and late fall, we look at who's where in retirement. we will be offering an entry level emt class. which is about six weeks in length in the late fall. we appreciate the work that will be taking place. with regards to activity since the last meeting, june 28th will be patient rescuer reunion. it was after commission meeting last year in october, there was a very serious injury accident
12:18 pm
in the park. the young man in his early 20s had significant injuries. we were able to -- he was very willing and wanting to meet the first responders that saved his life and saved his leg. we reunited everyone at headquarters. most people were working that day, showed the young man and his family. i find it rewarding. one of the things that's difficult for us, that's why i think we do great work and we don't know what the outcome is. having that closure is helpful. bureau of fire prevention had a luncheon on 28th. they do that periodically.
12:19 pm
he likes to get his -- he has members work on oak street and 1616 mission and members in headquarters. they came together and put a lunch on. number at headquarters fantasieded that. on 29th of june i attended an event here at city hall acknowledging the wage increase of minimum wage. that was very well attended. as i stated before, i was out of the country from july 4th through july 18th. on the 19th, when i returned, i attended biweekly hsoft. to talk about initiatives regarding street safety and homelessness and talking about different zones that need to be addressed. that is ongoing meeting that i
12:20 pm
typically attend every two weeks. on the 23rd, two deputies and i met with the veterans group. they're a great group of people that have great ideas and have really represented the department well since they've come on board as an employee group. my goal is to meet regularly with the employee gripes if the- groups if they have an interest. we had good exchange of information. w. of their priorities is to make sure that the department is reflective of the community we serve including those that serve the country. it's something that i'm supportive of as well. in recent classes, last several years, we have a good representation of those that serve the country. i was proud to be part of every
12:21 pm
single member. vice president nakajo congratulations on huge honor. i believe it's the highest honor given from the emperor of japan. we attended your ceremony. very impressive. we all felt very special being there and acknowledging you for your great work in the community over 45 years. the highest honors from the emperor of japan. pretty big deal. so congratulations. i also wanted to note that we've been busy since i've been back. one of the best things of the job i get to do is to announce promotions. since the last time we met, we have named 25 acting positions. the break down is two acting
12:22 pm
battalion chiefs, six acting captains, 15 acting lieutenants and two support specialist. they are going above their civil service rank in an acting capacity. lot of that have to do with the retirements i spoke about. even greater than that, the acting is one thing but conditional appointments are permanent appointments subject to a successful completion of the promotional process which includes paperwork as well as vivisitation. it includes four battalion chiefs, one captain, three age 33ems captains and eight permanent lieutenants. great news for those individuals and families. we do have a department that's evolving. we lost a lot of very good
12:23 pm
experienced people and now we have opportunities for some of the newer people in our department. i would be remised. i i believe it's last meeting. i offered him a job. that was with brook baker. he was the last, at that time, assistant chief. tonight we have with us and his role as a newest assistant chief. assistant chief rex hale. after chief baker was the next person up to get promoted. congratulations to chief baker. [applause] chief hill will be assigned to division two. i know division three was here earlier as well. they are both assigned to divisions. i wanted to welcome rex, he does great job for our department. he has worked his way up the
12:24 pm
ranks. proud to say, we sat right next to each other for 14 weeks. april 2, 1990, that concludes my report. cleaverland i.dreport. any public comment. commissioner covington. >> commissioner covington: for the acting position and additional promotions does like work like pay kick in as soon as you get them their new assignments? >> chief hayes-white: an acting -- both those categories become acting. the permanent kicks in once the
12:25 pm
process has been completed. going through medical, physical and so forth. as soon as they are assigned acting, they receive all of the benefits of that rank in terms of taking a vacation and they are paid at that rank. if they were injured they are paid at that rank. the >> commissioner covington: are they paid at that rank for the other days that they worked? >> chief hayes-white: they are compensated at that rank. covingto great in terms of division of training, have you filled out the rest of the year with the bump-up academies in the fall and cross-training. >> chief hayes-white: there's
12:26 pm
going to be other classes. we have officer's academy. we do anticipate because we will not have the h2 academy. we did have at least two retirements. those positions will not be filled. we do have a few h28 instructors scheduled to return to the field. we will ramp up again in january. we pretty much -- they are filling up the remainder of the year for their training calendar. covingto >> commissioner covington: my next question was whether or not the department is accredited. whether or not we'll be offering classes to other departments in the area. there doesn't seem to be room on
12:27 pm
the calendar for that. >> chief hayes-white: correct. >> commissioner covington: thank you. thank you commissioner. the unexpected retirees, the onces who didn't retire, those top ranking officers, did you get some top rank people retire? >> chief hayes-white: correct. we promote based on vacancies created. for example, which is unusual,
12:28 pm
we have a few assistant chiefs. we had two retiring. chief burke. that's why you have chief baker and chief hale that were promoted. we did have a few battalion chiefs that retired. >> commissioner hardeman: it's nice to see all the promotions. probably one of your favorite times. with the delay in the next h2 class that will probably have little effect on the next class and next class, we'll still be getting the three under the budget of the present system of two year budget. >> chief hayes-white: the hiring plan was through 2020. all three classes will be within that time frame. i would anticipate in the next budget cycle we need to look at locking in classes beyond that. that will be part of our budget request that begins -- we just
12:29 pm
finished -- that discussion will begin in december. we will intend to go beyond those three classes as we budget down the line for future classes. >> commissioner hardeman: nice to see that 1800 number. thank you. >> president cleaveland: vice president nakajo. >> vice president nakajo: chief hayes-white evening. i want to get clarification. class 125, 126, 127 will all occur in the year of 2019? hayes-white owe >> chief hayes-white: through june of 2020. >> vice president nakajo: we've been doing two per year. those two might be projected for
12:30 pm
2019 and 127 will be 2020? >> chief hayes-white: correct. >> vice president nakajo: how far would you think that projection would go. >> chief hayes-white: i would anticipate that we would similarly ask for two classes per fiscal year. we need tolled -- we need to do more analysis. there was accelerated hiring he would need to keep up with that pace. >> vice president nakajo: , part of that 2019-2020 is because we do two year projections? that's how we're going start to look at the classes that we're projecting? >> chief hayes-white: with mayor lee, we did a five-year plan.
12:31 pm
we will be open to projecting out even further. we began the hiring in 2012. it was a five years through 2017. we extended three years. two years would be in my mind, very minimum. we love to project out four or five years. what it does for me, make me clearly understand and realize mayor lee's administrative support to the fire department by projecting two classes for six years in this administration. for me, as i understand it, i'm trying to get more detailed, 127 would be budgeted already for us to project. >> chief hayes-white: that's correct. >> vice president nakajo: anytha
12:32 pm
request? we just finished budget fiscal where in june this projection on terms of budget would occur about next spring? >> chief hayes-white: typically, it's the third week in february where we have to submit our budget. the instructions are released roughly early december. then we have january to discuss what our needs are. i would say early on in december once we begin discussions again with the mayor's budget office we like to put the hiring plan as well as our plan under the two sort of foundational items that we think are really important. back in 2012 and 2013 we were looking to memorialize today. it made for lot of continuity and streamlined our budget request. in december we would begin discussions of beyond 127 if you
12:33 pm
will. >> vice president nakajo: i think also, in terms of our request hiring and the fleet replacing -- that sets good precedent for us as a department in terms of consistency. we have a new mayor within room 200. i'm thinking that, perhaps, might be good appropriate time for us to approach the mayor about a projected hiring plan during her administration. i know we're talking about 17 months, i think it would be worth our time to project beyond that even though there's an election in 2020. just to institutionalize. i think eor ourselves, that kind of calculation of at least minimum two classes per year, would be a good thing for you as a department. last question on this, chief.
12:34 pm
let me check that last question. i'll come back to it at some point before you conclude. mr. president, i want to congratulate you chief hale. you know you'll be able to articulate it to us. congratulations on that as well. thank you mr. president. >> commissioner veronese: chief, quick question. on request from the commission for a grant writer, where we are on filling that spot? did that start in june, or july? when do that start and is that a requisition?
12:35 pm
>> chief hayes-white: we're in the hiring process. we're further along than you might think. >> the budget technically hasn't been fully approved. we aren't able to access the position to hire. that happens in early august when it becomes available to fill. we started job descriptions information to put together when that position does become available to us, to advertise for it. >> commissioner veronese: do you have a sense who that person will respec report to? >> chief hayes-white: physical location? >> there's some space we're looking at on the third floor. >> commissioner veronese: that's all i have other than chief, congratulations on your
12:36 pm
vacation. >> chief hayes-white: thank you. >> commissioner veronese: i was on the police commission, chief fong refused to take vacations. i would pull her aside and told her i would put a resolution before the commission forcing her to take a vacation. i know your job is extremely stressful. you certainly deserve every vacation that you earned. inhope you take more of it. to commissioner nakajo, congratulations on your honor. that's a really big deal. so congratulations to you on that. to be honored by another country to be a citizen of one country and honored by another, it's extraordinary honor. congratulations to you on that. i apologize for not being ail it make that event. only way that gets in my way from my duties here at the commission are family and my son. congratulations to you. i'm honored to serve with you.
12:37 pm
and chief hale, i look forward to hearing more about your job and what you do as well. i think that's it for me. thanks. commission secretary, when i hit the button, it doesn't register my name. i know it's a conspiracy on behalf of commission president to silence me. i'm not going to allow that to happen. [laughter] >> president cleaveland: vice president nakajo. follow up question. >> vice president nakajo: i remember what i was going to ask. the class 124 is going to graduate on august 10th. the class 125 is being projected for january. in terms of that delay, is that
12:38 pm
have anything to do with the ratio of retirees or is there a combination of that decision? >> chief hayes-white: it's primarily due to our current staffing levels. which we believe are sufficient to get to be able it fulfill our mission everyday. we put on the accelerator for a couple of months. we feel that class it will be graduating just before the summer months. we do anticipate more retirement, more vacation and so the timing weisz, w -- wise we t it was a better fit. >> vice president nakajo: i think the audience and those members trying to apply to this, understand factors that are part of that. thank you very much chief hayes-white.
12:39 pm
>> president cleaveland: what's the status of our h8 program? are they part inform promotional operation? >> chief hayes-white: for the h8 program it's alive and well. there's the per diem medics that fill in search capacity that are not benefited employeed. they work on per diem as needed basis. a number of h8 personnel over the last few years have entered the department on a full time basis through the academy. we anticipate that will be the case with the h academy this year. i asked the question yesterday. we have in the 70 range, or 75 or 80 on the books as h8. out of the 78, we have about 50ish that are very active. i would say more than five or six shifts per month. it has been a great alternative
12:40 pm
particularly if we need to step up and also get the ability to take a look and evaluate and assess. it's doing very well. >> president cleaveland: i concur with our vice president that it's priority for hiring people and making sure that we have our fleet replaced. those are two priorities of the department and continue to be priorities to the commission here. let's hear from deputy chief janeane nickelson now. good evening chief. >> greetings commissioners. , president and chief hayes-white. deputy chief of administration janeane nicholson. this is my report.
12:41 pm
