During the informational councilor Rex Rolfing didn’t realize that the SFFD is not allowed to use ALS (Advanced Life Support) only BLS (Basic Life Support) on medical calls. It was part of the contract negotiation with Paramedics Plus. The sad part about this is that Rolfing was one of the councilors who approved the contract with PP. Obviously he didn’t read the contract before approving it.
During the council meeting, once again Rolfing couldn’t resist to tell us how little he knows, even after almost 8 years of doing his job. He didn’t want the council to get emails about potential lawsuits filed against the city. He said that certain councilors are ignoring the confidential disclaimer on emails and passing information along to the press and public. First off, these lawsuits are public record, and secondly, the public owns email transmissions between city employees and councilors. He wouldn’t know transparency if it hit him like a baseball bat.
I also reminded the council that Finance Director Tracy Turbak was full of it when he claimed the End of the Year finance reports come out the same time each year.
