good morning, commissioners, vice president nakajo, chief hayes-white. mickey callahan, i'm the city's department of human resources director. i'm here with scott wolf who will assist me in facilitating the selection process. our goal is to ensure that the commission has a group of well qualified candidates from whom to select either up to three candidates to send to the mayor for consideration and appointment in light of the announced retirement of chief hayes-white. we have prepared, and i believe you have in your packets, a date and recommended hiring steps, so i'd like to maybe run through the highlights of that for you and talk a little bit about what we will be doing and how we will be supporting the commission, if that's helpful. >> president cleaveland: we do. please proceed. >> we have prepared a -- first, i will note that the charter provides that the obligation of the require commission is to -- fire commission is to under the charter submit at least three qualified applicants. this is the standard that exists for most of the department head s

chief hayes-white? >> commissioner hayes-white: thank you. i just wanted to express my thanks to everyone. i think we are a good client, but at times probably from their perspective, a demanding client because we've asked over and over for redo's or we're definitely, through chief rivera and chief zanoff, on it, and it's great from both commissioners that we've heard from, but you've been responsive to our requests and needs. also, the artist has been very diligent in responding to our feedback. i also do think there could be other solutions to the fencing or security. security is a number one concern for that. we're fortunate that there are no adjacent residential properties that are on that block that i'm aware of. it's an industrial area. it doesn't necessarily mean it needs to have chicken wire or security fence like that, but it is something that we're sensitive, too, but also, i know the architect is here today, so thank you. >> president cleaveland: thank you, chief. i appreciate your presentation very much. i have a couple of question

>> commissioner hayes-white: i believe the first test after a ten-year absence, we administered. i can get it from staff, 2010, we tested for the h-30. i'd have to -- i'll get back to you momentarily. it's been -- we have an active captain's list now, so it's about two years -- yeah. so it's -- there's a current captain's list, either '15 or '16, it was administered. i'll get back to you in a minute. >> commissioner veronese: my concern is we could be pulling from a pool of a half a dozen to a dozen people if the captain's list is more than a decade old that we've actually been hired from. >> commissioner hayes-white: so we've had three captain's exams since i've been chief. >> commissioner veronese: you've been chief for a very long time. >> commissioner hayes-white: correct. i've been chief for 15 years. >> commissioner veronese: so my question is how big is this pool that we're limiting ourselves to? >> commissioner hayes-white: so i could take a moment and text staff and say how many people at the role of captain and above in the last ten years, and i could get that informati

president, chief hayes white. >> i and currently as signed to the airport department. prior to this i worked in the stress unit as one of the two full-time pier stress councilors for five.five years. i want to thank everyone here today for the unwavering support of unit and the members of our department. i stand before you here today because i truly believe that commissioner veronese's you have recommendation could help the members. i believe having two full-time stress unit peer counselors is inadequate for the membership of approximately 1700. again, i think bolstering the unit could be of great assistance to the members of the department. i want to thank you all four your support. good evening. thank you. >> thank you. any other public comment? okay. commissioner would you like to begin the discussion on this? perhaps read the resolution. >> sure. thank you. first of all, i want to start off by thanking dan for coming. he and john christy had donnism amazing work. i am confident that this resolution will save lives. i am confident of that. i know the work john and d

salvation army crews were prepping food this morning including the san francisco fire chief joanne hayes-white but this afternoon organizers at the african-american art and culture complex were serving means to make sure no one is hungry so they invited the needy, homes and no place else to go. those said sometimes when family slips away, they can find another family to share the thanksgiving holiday with. >> without them, i don't know where i'd be in my mind. i lost my cancer. i lost two sisters. then i lost my brother-in-law just last month. so kind of struggling a little bit. >> reporter: in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu fox 2 news. >>> new at 6:00 tonight, a real estate and restaurant tycoon from southern california has a special gift for paradise high school. the chico enterprise record reports bob wilson is giving every student and employee $1,000. that means all 980 students and 105 employees will soon be getting a check. bob wilson lives near san diego and he has never been to paradise. but he has been following the "camp fire" disaster on the news and says he just wanted to do

hayes. it looks like this white house dn't even vet, they didn't realize that the guy speculated -- well, younow, maybe a recessed opponent -- appointing general could defund the mueller probe. so he describeed what perhaps he was actually about dng. robert: talking about sessions, a final note on his legacy. sessions, of course, got the president irritated because he recused himself fro the mueller probe overseing it. but oimmigration, he was right there. >> right. he pushed forward an agenda like you were saying just a second ago was all trump all theay. the zero tolerance at the border. he held the line when it came to criminal justing reforming people in his own party. anything thales the d.o.j. touched -- i mean, that didn't have anything to do with russia he was right there in lockstep. he had cover because democrats didn't want to touch him bause he was so important to keep in place in order to protect the line above mueller, otherwise, you would have seen a ground swell of opposition toward him. you would have seen much more vitriol out of jeff sessions. >> it's all about the mueller

if you look at the stadium, you can see the hayes and it is whited out towards the back.we definitely smell it and unless the air quality in santa clara reaches an index of 200, the 49ers game will go on as scheduled. much of the bay area still sits in the red zone. in oakland, the index is above 180 in some areas. experts say anything between 150 and 200 can affect healthy people. the recommendation is to produce prolonged or heavy exertion outdoors. tonight 49ers "a" game still stadium was extra options for both teams on the sidelines. the air-quality level would have to get significantly worse before any talk of changing the kickoff time or moving the game. yesterday after the raiders game, lots of fans wore masks, sitting at the coliseum. the team addressed their decision to play despite poor air quality.>> yes you feel it, but we can play a football game. people are losing family members and houses and we are playing a football game. i think we are all right.>> a lot of us have friends and relatives, and family, and loved ones going through a lot. and i would say mor

but the scars from the jaws of that great white are still there, a constant reminder of what he survived. keane webre hayesttack victim:"i dived down, i don't get lobsters sadly, and i come back up, i just feel something tackles me and just keeps me there, pushes me and it shakes me a little bit and i see my body, my wetsuit has been ripped, blood is starting to go into the waters, so i just started screaming fro help, 'shark, help' while i was coming to a kayak."he still doesn't know how he managed to swim 70 yards to a kayak with a broken, torn up shoulder. maybe it was instinct, maybe it was his will to survive. "i wasn't really trying to think about am i gonna die, i was just trying to survive at the moment, i want to get to kayak, i want to get to shore, i wasn't really to scared." that moment for his mother still haunts her, still feels like a nightmare. ellie hayes, victim's mother:"i was on the cliff, i heard the screams, and they were life- threatening screams and since the accidents, most nights when i close my eyes i hear those screams and that is something no mom ever wants to hear."keane despe

remind there was a different vision coming from the white house, with the future of america, it's something that used to come from the presidency. trump hayes just eliminated it. so it will be interesting to see which vision prevails. >> that one you are referencing, when i was watching katy on your show, there was such a strong racist divide there, that she was echoing those sentiments. it was rather shocking, i have to say. >> it still exists. we had myrlie eggers on this, john lewis is following the abrams campaign around. this is a replay of the 1950s and '60s. those rachelle codes are still here. unfortunately they haven't gone away and those people still vote. >> part of that may be a bit of this. the president just a week after the explosive devices, were sent to prominent democratic leaders, also to cnn, the president was blaming reporters for creating violence. take a listen to what he said . >> no, no, you're creating violence by your questions. you are creating. >> reporter: me? >> you. also a lot of the reporters say they're creating violence by not writing the truth. the fake news is creating violence. >> heidi, is this message
