Make it simpler . So we went through the process of opening a restaurant, find all of the permit processes relevant for a new owner so we mapped 22 restaurant processes across San Francisco departments and three state and federal departments. To supplement the work we interviewed local Business Owners, Different Department staff and talked to the Acceleration Team in new york city. We looked at permitting data from the treasurer and Tax Collector and a survey from Business Owners to ask them about the obstacles in the process. This is a look at the Different Departments that we worked with and mapped and the different areas so for each department we produced a map of that permitting process so this is a sample of one of those here and we really had a specific focus on what does this look like from the customers perspective and what are the steps in the process for the customer and the back end processes that support that .

We looked at other environmental factors which came out fairly evenly but the thing that was very striking was the difference in cost which would translate to over 100 million for ratepayers over the lifetime of this contract. So recology was selected by the panel. Lawsuits were filed. Lawsuits were dismissed and over the course of the next four years the board repeatedly took a look at this contract. You held four hearings, two votes and after the hearings and the votes the board unanimously approve the process and said in fact recology was the qualified bidder for the contract. Supervisor mar.
