Alzheimers unit since it opened and we have several coworkers here. We wanted to express to the board that the whole department right now is like in a mourning state because of the fact of the closure and our patients is our pride and our joy. Its not just a job. And what our concern is is that say like for you and i, its easy for us to get up and relocate and deal with new faces. With our clients its not like that. It can be devastating and can even lead into death possibility, which we pray not, but this is our concern. Our clients have very challenging behaviors that we understand and our first step or recourse is not to medicate. We know how to interact or defuse their behavior and not allow them to get hurt and protect them. Everything that is very, very difficult for a Family Member to do, you need a team like the irene swindel center. We hope the board can review the track record of the center, which we were one of the leading models of the residential facility in the northern c
Enforcement efforts on the sros. We are going to be the eyes and ears often times for those type of listings and we want to work with dbi so we see the sros popping up, we show them to them and provide whatever we can. Sometimes we also see kind of the same players out there not just in terms of the sros but shortterm rental violations generally. And we can provide that sort of intel to them as well. Supervisor peskin i think its important there be one Central Place where all of this is tracked. Even if its not within your purview to enforce. To the extent that there is transparency between dbi and ostr, it would be important that ostr tracks that data. Certainly. One other item i wanted to touch upon this comes up as a question a lot. How do people rent out their units . So, people have the option of renting out what we call hosted rentals where theyre presented in unit. They can do that 365 days a year. They have the host present and its sort of considered to be a low impact type of
Way they are right now. She was one of the first to comply and register and shes made a lot of changes to her living situation and investments based on the current rules. We are certainly very encouraged that there seems to be stability in the way the rules are set up for hosts who have always intended to comply and play by the rules. And hope that there will be stability of the rules in the future. Thank you so much. Supervisor peskin thank you. Next speaker. After the next speaker, joe lighthouser, kevin cred it. Public good morning. Im in district eight and proud to be a registered host that fully complies with all the laws that this legislation has set forth. We accurately report to each quarter all of our data and i use that data in those reports to then be able to calculate metrics that help me in becoming a better host. And we comply with any audits that we ever receive. I love that being a host brings the world to my door. Ive had guests from every continent except antarctica.
And other things that were going to have to do and deal with. But this is a great start. And i am just really concerned about the thing that i mentioned earlier, which of course is until theyre approved, i dont believe that they should be hosting. And then finally, this other issue around the honor system in terms of reporting. I think we need to get a handle on that too. Thank you for those comments and for the compliments too. On that note, i do feel very fortunate to work with the staff i do. They are really incredible and dedicated folks and take their job seriously. So, i thank you for that recognition. Supervisor peskin and just relative to Cost Recovery, the 2,100 plus or minus registered hosts, is that annual fee covering you and your staff . So, the amount of the fee that we assess covers only the cost of processing the application on average. So, it doesnt necessarily account for the enforcement costs. So, were going to see with the surge in applications, once we reach a stat
