IV.          Public Comment: No Public Comment was offered at this time.

V.          Communications:

a) Letter from Mayor’s Office on Homelessness re: homeless count volunteers;
b) Environmental Clean-Up Newsletter from the Dept. of the Navy;
c) Mayor’s Office of Community Development (MOCD’ Annual) Request for Proposals (RFP) re: 2001 Community Development Block Grant (CBDG) and Emergency Shelter Grant Programs.

VI.          Director’s Report:

a) Due to the progress of the HVAC upgrade project all the air handling components have been shut down; therefore there is currently no heating, air conditioning or ventilation throughout the facility (as you can witness by the coolness of this meeting room). However, the project should be completed by the end of this month, and then there should be air handling monitors and controls for each section of the building.
b) There is still no progress re: the ADA upgrade - handicap accessibility from the parking lot to the Community Room. We have done what we can from this end (architectural plan has been completed), the hang up is still with scheduling/ coordinating the different BBR crafts so work is completed before the inclement weather begins.
c) Airport Police Cmdr. Sylvia Harper has agreed to come to a meeting to update the Commission on her progress;
d) Attended a meeting at the Boys and Girls Club up on Kiska Road called by the Acting Chief of the SFFD and discussed:
1) Diversity among the ranks - Currently there are 26 existing position that need filling/ promotion to fill. Continuing the process of diversifying requires about 11 Asian Americans, 4 African Americans, and 4 Hispanic Americans to be promoted or hired.
2) Training - Since the Civil Service list is limited in the number of minorities to promote/hire from, perhaps training in the Community (similar to what took place in the past) could be offered to assist in increasing the field from which to hire/promote.
3) Additional personnel/additional firehouses add to the existing three in the Southeast Sector.
e) Suggest Acting Fire Chief Paul Tobacco be invited to report and update directly to the Commission.
f) The Executive Director will be attending the APHA Conference in Boston from Fri., Nov. 10 and returning to the office on Mon., Nov. 20.

Action: Commissioner Maxwell moved and Commissioner Brown seconded to accept the Director’s Report. Motion passed.


VII.          Old & On-going Business:
          
a) Commissioner Brown would like an update to the letter to the Dept. of the Navy re: the Commission’s dissatisfaction in the communications/non-communications (affecting the health and environmental safety) to the Community of the fire at the Hunter’s Point Shipyard. [As an update, Dr. Moses reported that the City has contracted with Business Development Inc. (BDI) to provide information to the Community in the eventuality of just such a future occurrence. To this end, BDI held a Community meeting last week to set up this process; we will get an update of this meeting to the Commission.]



VIII.          Introduction of New Business by Commissioners:

a) Commissioner Maxwell requested an update on the activities of the NAACP; perhaps NAACP could assist in providing training to increase the numbers of minority applicants to the SFFD. Staff will investigate and report.
b) Commissioner Hardin announced the opening of the artistic event: ’The Human Family Tree/A Walk Through Paradise …’ an environmental installation of 78 paintings accompanied by musical works celebrating families of all ethnic diversities at the Bayview Opera House. The Premier is Tues., Dec. 19, 2000, Opening Reception from 3 p.m. - 7 p.m. and will run through Jan. 14, 2001. The event, which will include oral histories, is planned as an end-of-year/ century holiday and New Millennium Community celebration.
