Year. The prince actually hadnt attended the state opening i dont think since 1996 before last year, though he had attended several before then. So this is the second time that theyve attended as a couple, and they are now arriving at the sovereigns entrance under the victoria tower, and what well see a little later on is charles and camilla seated at the queens side just on the righthand side of the main throne in the ceremonial chairs, the chairs of state which are being brought in for them. S...

Hawk. This years proposal just reversed it and wants to retire the u2 and keep the global hawk. When you flipflop completely within one year it doesnt give you a lot of confidence these poem proposals have been thought out. If you talk to commanders in korea they want to keep them both with the volatile young leader now in charge in the north. But the other reason im not willing to accept many of the administrations proposals is that im not willing that we have to accept that we have to have a s...

5 million minimum infusion to take the recommendation from the budget analyst. And years ago, probably around on 07, 08, we made deliberate we have deliberate discussion and everyone agreed and it was counter intuitive to me, but i dont like that overtime has gone up. So i think thats important to point out. A high of 1750 down to 1371, of course the overtime is going to go up. Up course thats going to go up. Now were seeing more overtime and seeing the fatigue factor. There are things that i th...

Summary on eight, which is biii. Fwl thank you. In the last paragraph, it just says a total of 38 and this is from the budget and legislative analyst, a total of 38 command staff hasnt been trained, ems, yet through promotions theyre charged with supervise are paramedic staff. On thats why that particular statement was cause for concern. Youre telling me they all have an ems certificate which is different from what this statement says.

Theyre being supervised by people that dont are that same level of training. In the ems division, theres a paramedic supervisor and chief, and there are paramedics overseeing their colleagues who are paramedics and yeah. I can read verbatim a statement they wrote.

Station 49, the status work location is also staffed. I did okay. Okay. Thank you...

And raised here. Were proud. I love local hire, but we need to make sure that were doing thing thats are legal whether its local hire and residency restrictions, does it bother me that people live out of the state, its a small percentage, but yes it does. I think 31 percent that live in the city is good and better than other departments. 46 percent, if you count San Francisco county and san mateo county. Thats good. They dont have to depend on a bridge. If you look at new orleans, you dont want ...

Firefighter process, the general order progress and generate those to give information to their friends and local communities. I think we can be proud again of it hasnt been easy. We had 5200 people on the list and we hired 150 off the list. Early remarks, its a diverse work force but we look forward to the future with the continuance testing model that dhr has described. And we agree that having the dhr because they are the subject Matter Expert overseeing the testing, and well work on that. Ju...

Fire academy classes, thats where we want to spend new dollars but again, what i hope doesnt happen when i read in this report that are despite recommendations over the past ten years, the Fire Department didnt have strategic plans. Whatever we can do, that would be helpful. Supervisor tang. Last chief, before i open up to Public Comment.
