Online in other languages, but we didnt have it in other languages at that time. One of the things that im sure you all read about, which was connected to the flooding, but if the house wasnt flooded, some of the houses experienced sewage coming up through the houses. We had residents asking our office was it safe to clean up. I actually dont know if we this is something well discuss through the hearing, but is that d. B. I. , department of public health, p. U. C. , where is the appropriate contact for residents to find out if its safe for them to clean up. So, yeah, i just wanted to share some comments here. Well get more answers at the hearing, and i do think this is an opportunity because it was 12 hours impacted or if this was a larger disaster. Thank you so much. Thank you. Uhhuh. Just wanted to give kudos to some of our personnel from our Homeland Security unit. Captain chris put together an exercise that basically involved the station being incapacitated. We had an opportunity to pull out our continuity of operations, and its an enlightening exercise. There are a lot of areas we need to get better at. Captain has done a good job and its something we plan to do in other districts in our police departments. Just for the group, if you havent done that in a while, it was a very good exercise. I know from a citywide and i know you have been working on table tops as well, but i wanted to put that on everybodys minds. Those opportunities rarely come up. Its always good to practice. Yeah. Thank you. Thats music to our ears. Someone opened their c. O. O. Plan. Anyone else . Yes, i just wanted to let people know that the hazard plan is our Hazard Mitigation plan required by fema every five years. It will be sent next week, and i wanted to thank all the departments, all the people, every department here has a strategy in that plan. It really takes some bold steps to move us towards mitigating disasters and being more resilient. I appreciate you and if you could pass it to your staff that helped formulate strategies or spent time looking at the different hazards and putting it together. The department of public health, planning department, department of emergency management, and department of the environment. Thank you all for that. Were going to continue to work on this as it goes out. Were not going to wait five years to open it up again. Were planning to do Public Outreach in the next year and to continue making it much more of a living document where people have access to the hazards, to the strategies online or through public meetings. Thank you so much for that. Thanks brian. Anyone else . Okay, with that i believe we can adjourn the meeting. Thank you all for being here and well see you in the new year. [ ] San Francisco, 911, whats the emergency . San francisco 911, police, fire and medical. The tenderloin. Suspect with a six inch knife. He was trying to get into his car and was hit by a car. San francisco 911 whats the exact location of your emergency . Welcome to the San Francisco department of emergency management. My name is shannon bond and im the lead instructor for our dispatch add academy. I want to tell you about what we do here. This is San Francisco 911. Do you need police, fire or medical . San francisco police, dispatcher 82, how can i help you . Youre helping people in their what may be their most vulnerable moment ever in life. So be able to provide them immediate help right then and there, its really rewarding. Our agency is a very combined agency. We answer emergency and nonemergency calls and we also do dispatching for fire, for medical and we also do dispatching for police. We staff multiple call taking positions. As well as positions for police and fire dispatch. We have a priority 221. I wanted to become a dispatcher so i could help people. I really like people. I enjoy talking to people. This is a way that i thought that i could be involved with people every day. As a 911 dispatcher i am the first first responder. Even though i never go on seen scene im the first one answering the phone call to calm the victim down and give them instruction. The information allows us to coordinate a response. Police officers, firefighters, ambulances or any other agency. It is a great feeling when everyone gets to go home safely at the end of the day knowing that youve also saved a citizens life. Our department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This is shift work. That means we work nights, weekends and holidays and can involve over time and sometimes thats mandatory. This is a high stress career so its important to have a good balance between work and life. We have Resources Available like wellness and peer support groups. Our dispatchers of the month are recognized for their outstanding performance and unique and ever changing circumstances. I received an accommodation and then i received dispatcher of the month, which was really nice because i was just released from the phones. So for them to, you know, recognize me for that i appreciated it. I was surprised to even get it. At the end of the day i was just doing my job. A typical dispatch shift includes call taking and dispatching. It takes a large dedicated group of fifrst responders to make ths department run and in turn keep the city safe. When you work here you dont work alone, you work as part of a team. You may start off as initial phone call or contact but everyone around you participating in the whole process. I was born and raised in San Francisco so its really rewarding to me to be able to help the community and know that i have a part in you know, even if its behind the scenes kind of helping the city flow and helping people out that live here. The Training Program begins with our sevenweek academy followed by on the job training. This means youre actually taking calls or dispatching responders. You can walk in with a high school diploma, you dont need to have a college degree. We will train you and we will teach you how to do this job. We just need you to come with an open mind that we can train you and make you a good dispatcher. If its too dangerous to see and you think that you can get away and call us from somewhere safe. Good. Thats right. From the start of the academy to being released as a solo dispatcher can take nine months to a year. Training is a little over a year and may change in time. The training is intense. Very intense. Whats the number one thing that kills people in this country . So were going to assume that its a heart attack, right . Dont forget that. As a new hire we require you to be flexible. You will be required to work all shifts that include midnights, some call graveyard, days and swings. You have to be willing to work at different times, work during the holidays, you have to work during the weekends, midnight, 6 00 in the morning, 3 00 in the afternoon. Thats like the toughest part of this job. We need every person thats in here and when it comes down to it, we can come together and we make a really great team and do our best to keep the city flowing and safe. This is a big job and an honorable career. We appreciate your interest in joining our team. We hope you decide to join us here as the first First Responders to the city and county of San Francisco.

Thank you for supporting this program and for trusting us to create a Soccer Program in the bayview. Soccer is the worlds game, and everybody plays, but in the united states, this is a sport that struggles with access for certain communities. I coached basketball in a coached football for years, it is the same thing. It is about motivating kids and keeping them together, and giving them new opportunities. When the kids came out, they had no idea really what the game was. Only one or two of them had played soccer before. We gave the kids very simple lessons every day and made sure that they had fun while they were doing it, and you really could see them evolve into a team over the course of the season. I think this is a great opportunity to be part of the community and be part of programs like this. I get to run around with my other teammates and pass the ball. This is new to me. Ive always played basketball or football. I am adjusting to be a soccer mom. The bayview is like my favorite team. Even though we lose it is still fine. Right on. I have lots of favorite memories, but i think one of them is just watching the kids enjoy themselves. My favorite memory was just having fun and playing. Bayview united will be in soccer camp all summer long. They are going to be at civic centre for two different weeklong sessions with america scores, then they will will have their own soccer camp later in the summer right here, and then they will be back on the pitch next fall. Now we know a little bit more about soccer, we are learning more, and the kids are really enjoying the program. We want to be united in the bayview. That is why this was appropriate this guy is the limit. The kids are already athletic, you know, they just need to learn the game. We have some potential collegebound kids, definitely. Today was the last practice of the season, and the sweetest moment was coming out here while , you know, we were setting up the barbecue and folding their uniforms, and looking out onto the field, and seven or eight of the kids were playing. This year we have first and second grade. We are going to expand to third, forth, and fifth grade next year bring them out and if you have middle school kids, we are starting a team for middle school. You know why . Why . Because we are .

I will share with you a wee bit what is happening in your department. Got some good news to an 2019. The Controllers Office released its annual Park Maintenance standards this week which shows the parks were better maintained across the city over the past fiscal year with less disparity between neighborhoods and continued improvements to formerly lower scoring parks. Our department met 92 of its standards, exceeding our target of 90 . The score also represents a threepoint increase from the previous two years, and a sixpoint increase over the past four. We are doing well. Significantly, the report also shows and can you continued can prove mints improvements in the condition of formerly lowing lower scoring parks. In 2015, it got a 60 . In 2019, that score climbed 17 to 77 . Earlier this year, the Controllers Office published a new interactive dashboard that shows all data that users can explore to see the highest and lowest scoring parks and how the scores have changed over time or look up a favorite parking get level details on the maintenance the dashboard can be found on the controllers website. The results of this latest report are certainly a testament to the commitment of our staff, including our custodians, our maintenance crews, they also reflect the continued guidance and investment that we are making into our deferred maintenance fees that you all help us with each year. They certainly reflect the results of the confidence of San Francisco voters as we have been able to renovate almost 100 projects and almost 100 facilities in the last 10 years. Very good news. The biggest take away for me is, over the last three or four years with both ted with head and heart and wallet, our focus on narrowing the gap between our highest and lowering parks and prioritizing deferred maintenance and equity zones is starting to show. It is starting to pay off. We are really pleased about that i wanted to invite everyone to yet one more awesome holiday party. This one is going to be at 900 and at india basin.
