COMMUNICATIONS
SPECIAL ORDER 2:00 P.M. - Mayor's Appearance Before The Board
Pursuant to Charter Section 3.100(7), the Mayor shall appear, in person, at one regularly scheduled
meeting of the Board of Supervisors each month to engage in formal policy discussions with members
of the Board. This item will be read at the Board Meeting on the second Tuesday of each month,
unless rescheduled by the Mayor and the Board President. The Mayor and the Board may not discuss
matters that have already been considered in Committee and that are on the Board's Agenda as an
action item.
By supermajority vote of the Board of Supervisors (8 votes), the Board may, by oral motion, allow an
eligible District Supervisor to ask a question that was not previously posed if the question relates to a
sudden or unexpected incident or occurrence raising formal, time-sensitive policy questions that were
not anticipated prior to the posting of this agenda. Public comment for this item will take place during
general public comment.

Board of Supervisors Meeting Agenda Tuesday, October 21, 2014
1. 141045 [Formal Policy Discussions - October 21, 2014]
Pursuant to Charter Sections 2.103 and 3.100(7), and Administrative Code Section 2.11,
the Mayor shall answer the following eligible question submitted from the Supervisor
representing District 5. The Mayor may address the Board initially for up to five minutes.
Discussion shall not exceed five minutes per Supervisor.
1. As we have all now seen in the news, and some San Franciscans have unfortunately
experienced personally, we have a crisis in our Fire Department’s ambulance system.
The Department is out of compliance with the service level it is obligated to provide
under its “Exclusive Operating Area” with the state. It is also failing to meet its own
standards for ambulance response times. The City aims to have ambulances on the
scene of emergencies within 10 minutes 90% of the time. In July and August the Fire
Department’s actual response was almost 50% longer than that. There were 374
occasions when it took more than 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive-in August
alone. “Medic-to-follow” calls, when the Fire Department literally does not have an
ambulance available to send to someone in need, have increased over 500% since
2008, averaging eight times per day in 2013 and spiking dramatically since. Meanwhile,
the Board of Supervisors has approved funding for 16 new ambulances in the last
several years, and the Fire Department has still not completed the purchase or put a
single one into service.
I know you have convened a working group to develop short-, medium-, and long-term
measures to address this crisis, and I thank you for inviting me to join that process.
But I and every employee group in the Fire Department have lost faith in the current
leadership of the Department. We saw this crisis coming. I held my first hearing on it in
January of 2014. Why was this allowed to get so bad, and what are you doing to hold
the leadership of the Fire Department accountable? (Supervisor Breed, District 5)
Discussion: The Mayor shall DISCUSS eligible question(s) with the Board of Supervisors.
