commissioner covington. >> commissioner covington: thank you, mr. president. yes, i would also like to thank my fellow commissioner veronese for having the foresight to put together the stair climb. it was really a very fun event. and chief nicholson was hardly winded when she came out. [laughter] >> commissioner covington: chief cochran and i were there at the finish line and so many people did so well. it was very, very impressive. and chief zanoff before the climb oriented me to the emergency plans and i am always heartened to hear about those. so, that was very good. and the $140,000 is more than a drop in the bucket. that's a sizable chunk of change. and it is available and hopefully people will apply for those funds. so, i look forward to hearing more and this was the second annual. and i have had 100% attendance at all of -- well, there were only two. i really hope that this is going to be a long herm activity. thank you. >> president cleaveland: thank you, commissioner covington. vice president nakajo. >> vice president nakajo: thank you very much, mr.

commissioner covington? >> commissioner covington: thank you, mr. president. thank you for your report, chief hayes-white. you missed the last meeting, of course, because you were away, and my fellow commissioners heaped much praise on your head in absentia, so i was waiting until you were actually present to congratulate you, so congratulation on -- congratulations on that wonderful award, and yes, i will be stopping by your office to take a look at it. >> commissioner hayes-white: thank you. >> commissioner covington: you're welcome. i think it's fantastic that all of your sons were there to be able to see their mother vetted and honored. it's very special, and i think i have an idea of what this year's photo will be on the christmas greeting, so i look forward to seeing that. i just have a couple of questions for you, chief. the policy recommendations from the mayor's summit, you and senior staff, i suppose, are putting together the response to the request from the mayor's office, and that's due on the 28, is it? >> commissioner hayes-white: correct. >> com

commissioner covington? >> commissioner covington: thank you. i did want to share with my fellow commissioners that i did have a conversation with a couple of members of the department regarding the high cost of charges that the chief has brought before them. they're asserting they have to hire an attorney, and they said it's in the neighborhood of $10,000. and i said yes, but we have this early case resolution conference that we've been doing over the past few years, and they said that they weren't aware of that. so their sharing with me was that some people feel as if they are forced to take the days without being able to defend themselves, to be able to mount a defense for themselves. so again, the early case resolution conference, they were not aware of, and that led me to call our city attorney, mr. bradley rossy, to ask him about it. i wanted to make sure i had the name and phrasing correctly because some of these are, you know, very, very strict, and he pointed out to me that we were supposed to be having these conferences on a trial basi

>>commissioner cleaveland: thank you, commissioner covington. i think vice president nakajo would like to respond. >> commissioner nakajo: thank you, president cleaveland. just to get some things clear, i'm not against the concept of a retreat. not at all. i'm just questioning the purpose of this particular session on the 25 titled a retreat based on subject matters that i feel may not necessitate a special meeting. i'm not against it or a retreat if you want to title it. i'm not against it based on the subject matters there because i honestly feel we have and we do have the opportunity to address these subject matters at a regular commission meeting in an open process with the public. i know a special meeting will give us an ability to do that in some ways in subject matter because our calendar is sometimes very crowded, but i also think that in terms of the subject matter, we should be able to and we have dialogue somewhat on. in terms of the report of the summit, when i reported that, i reported it because i was parting it, that i was part of

commissioner covington? >> commissioner covington: thank you, mr. president. i just had a couple of questions for the chief. chief, thank you for your report. can you talk a little bit more about the accessory dwelling units and the -- the nature of the event showing the mayor what it is that the department does related to? >> commissioner hayes-white: i sure can. i'd like to ask our fire marshal to give an overview of the mayor's executive directive and ma what it means to our department. >> essentially, the executive directive, it puts a timeline on processing affordable housing units, a.d.u.s, etc., and it puts timelines on four and six months, and that's on every department. so from the time it enters planning through d.b.i. through fire. we put a team dedicated in place at this point handling a.d.u.s. that team consists of a captain, a fire protection engineer and a plan inspector for the plan review. they're committed in their duties, and we've cut our backlog in half. at the time of this report, it was about 30. we are committed to that four-month deadl

commissioner covington? >> commissioner covington: thank you mr president. >> commissioner veronese: . commissioner veronese, when he gives his word that he is willing to help, means if you are in the trenches, he will be there with you. these are not just words that he speaks. i will be right there with him in the trenches. i want to congratulate you all, captain tillman on having this new position and taking the bull by the horns and getting in there to do the work that still needs to be done. and to bill smith go -- hill, smith, and davis, thank you for stepping up. even though the chief describe you as youngsters, it is really good to see that you are so engaged. i was sharing this with commissioner veronese about how i've been hearing over the years of my tenure here on the commission, about the openness of the black firefighters association and your willingness to help prepare anyone who is interested in being in the field , to help them prepare for exams cocked to help them with agility tests and all of that. just getting them in shape and just as imp
