response team volunteers departed to butte county to assist. the residents of butte county suffered immensely. many lost loved ones and their homes to this unfathomably huge fire, which now stands as california's worst disaster ever. yet the butte county and town of paradise first responders and emergency managers, many of whom were direct victims of the disaster, continued to fight the fire, conduct search and rescue, and work in the emergency operations center to manage the emergency response and recovery efforts. butte county and town of paradise first responders and public safety community were stretched to their limits and san francisco came to their aid. i would like to recognize and applaud the sworn and civilian personnel that answered the call to assist our neighborhood in butte county. it came at an emotional cost. many who came back said it was the worst disaster they had ever seen and the experience was very hard to shake. i know the staff at butte county and town of paradise appreciates the relief you provided them and we in san francisco also honor your service and com

communities that have been affected here, the city of paradise, the entire county of butte, should just know that the city of san francisco is with you. and we'll do whatever we can to support. as i saw today, the state and feds, fema, everybody is here. this is a beautiful place, even surrounded by ashes. and we have such a sense of how strong this community is. and just know that we're with you. [applause] thank you. as the woman in the video was saying, [laughter], there really is no better learning than to be part of an actual response. and so while the benefit obviously, the humanitarian action that we do to help is so critical, we are -- we have doubled the benefit by bringing that back here and the people of san francisco best from that, too, as we build our capacity and our bench. i'm grateful to the mayor, that one of the directives, directive 4, i believe, is going to really help us move toward putting these multidisciplinary teams together so we will be more ready and can go when needed. and unfortunately, in california, i'm afraid those opportunities are not going to be few and f

to butte county these days, you see all these people that say, you know, thank you, firefighters. this is a great opportunity to get messages out to the public. instead of saying thank you, to actually do things. these members of our department, we sent four strike teams -- 40 members up to butte. >> we sent one strike team, but we sent 40 members to butte and 12 down to southern california. >> so you are a great opportunity for the public to thank you as opposed to say thank you. let's not forget about the firefighters that fought this fire. thank you for the presentation. this will not be the last of you , hopefully this was not a bad experience. but we need to do more, and you are a critical part of that period i look forward to working with you. >> thank you. >> thank you. commissioner covington? >> thank you mr president. thank you so much for the presentation. we hear of these things and bits and pieces, and is very good to have a complete overview of the challenges that the members of the department face on a daily basis. i really want to thank you for that. you did mentio

came from behind me and he touched my butt. i responded with defending myself like any woman would. i was told by the insurance adjustor and he saw the video that i was the one hostile. the guy was never hos hostile. i don't feel backed up by the company. i have children. i have family that i need to support. i feel it's unfair. it's not right. >> supervisor kim: you said insurance adjustor. >> workman's comp. >> supervisor brown: next speaker. >> thank you to all the supervisors. this is the first time it's been assessment years at muni. there's crazy lady that gets on all the time. i filed reports on that. there's no response to it. but nobody is following up. it makes the situation dangerous. stuff being thrown at you. it's a dangerous situation. every time people ask questions to the operator, why we ask the operator, why can't we ask what the management can to fix these things? the city, even -- $1500, $40,000 a year. more than half the money it gone raising three kids. people hit our bus all the time. they hit it and they take off. it's a hit-and-run, why are we charged with the

in butte county, which had a significant impact on the city. the air quality was poor, as anybody who was here was aware, for quite some time. we had a significant response to that. we distributed 19,502 masks. to city employees and homeless outreach team, for those that could not find indoor relief from the air. our call center activated through the holiday weekend and handled 864 calls, reached out to patients to ensure that they had adequate preparation. so that was part of our network response. and d.p.h. coordinated 20 healthcare professionals. so that was a significant response and we've learned from that, as we have in the past, and we'll continue to improve our protocols. on november 26, the department launched its truth or not campaign, which is youth cannabis campaign in response to the state changing cannabis laws, making adult use cannabis legal. the campaign is really just to provide information to -- and facts to youth and dispel youths, so they can make well-informed decisions about cannabis and their health choices. we're entering a new phase in our electronic heal

to represent san francisco and medical reserve core at the butte county fires. we spent four days there. it was hard work. the men and women sent up there were great representatives of san francisco. it was an honor to be able to help someone in a way -- they've been through so much to give them a hand and say, i'm here to help you and here for you to take care of you. it's always been a valuable experience. the profession of a first responder is always someone to learn from. to work alongside these men and women was an amazing experience and one that i will definitely cherish.

amazing community advocate, someone who worked her butt off for this community. i mean the june festival would not have even happens happened all of those years ago. [applause] >> all of those years, had it not been for rachel townsend. the work that she did to not only support the community, but when her father was sick, she was right there helping to care for him, and looking out for him and others in the community. she was one of the sweetest people you would ever want to meet, and the only problem was, she never said no to anybody. she never said no. can you do this, rachel? yes. >> can you do this, rachel? what time is it? she was there for so many of us in this community and it is such an honor to choose to name such an amazing place that represents fulfilling a promise to this community. it really means a lot to reverend townsend back to all of us here in the western edition community. especially many of us who have grown up here and worked here, to dedicate this building in her honor. so with that, i would like to say thank you to everyone involved. thank you to so many

, but then, we get the big butt. you act like it's so difficult for you to shutdown because everyone is having fun. what happens when you have to pull the booze at 1:30? my take away, actually, is you seem to have standards for one agency and a different standard for another. so i really think your problems, going back to commissioner tan is you have a real credibility problem with us. we actually all want to help you, but if you can't follow the most basic rules. you have 17 conditions. adding 50 to your life is not going to solve the problem, and that's why i agree with commissioner tan. we should be heading in the opposition direction, but you simply will not afford us that opportunity because you will not comply with what you have. i would love a one-minute response. i think th >> i think in terms of the noticing -- the noticing is in your files -- i did notice in may. >> i don't want a hand picked response where you complied. the under written issue here, and everyone is on the same page -- there's no question that you have a dynamic environment. i think where you're missing is
