Agenda item number one is a resolution adding the commemorative street name Tony Stephanie Way to Falmouth Street between Folsom and Shipley Streets in recognition of retired San Francisco Fire Department Captain Tony Stephanie. Thank you. Welcome, Chief. Thank you. Good afternoon, Madam Chair, members of the committee. Tony Stefani has committed his life to keeping firefighters and their families and their friends and their loved ones safe. We often concentrate on the 400 members that we've lost from this horrible disease over the last 10 years. But I think we in this context need to talk about the lives that have been saved. And it's been thousands. And the members of the Cancer Prevention Foundation, with the leadership of Tony Stefani, have done immeasurable work to keep our members alive and keep them supported during the process of this horrible disease. And it's really been heartwarming and a big lift to our department. I think one thing that uh goes unmentioned is Tony's incredible career in the San Francisco Fire Department. He rose to the level of captain, was actually my training officer when I entered the fire department in 1990. And even before his retirement, he was focused on the health and safety of our members. He taught me the value of training, the value of fitness, the value of diet. In fact, when I went to station one with him, uh a lot of senior members worked there. A fantastic uh firefighter and an incredible leader, and we're really honored to have this name right next to the third iteration of station one on uh Fowl Month Alley, uh station one being at 935 Folsom Street. So thank you very much, madam chair and members of the committee. Thank you, Chief. Uh Mr. Gabler. Good afternoon, supervisors. Uh thank you for taking the time to hear this uh very important street naming for Tony Stefani. Uh he has done more to protect and help the lives of firefighters than at least in San Francisco than any single person alive. Uh after beating cancer himself, a very rare and deadly form of cancer that he was able to overcome.
