Across the globe here in San Francisco and in many ways for many year, San Francisco as a City Government has been behind of adopting that innovation, were doing a ton of work on it, we have a long ways to go, open data is but a part of that in a way to have an impact, i think the impact can be real within our City Government, but i think what youre speaking to is a broader topic of how we use technology to apply to our City Government and our daytoday jobs as supervisors or people within different departments. And i would say i would want us to head in a direction when putting together this overall policy and one that would make us more efficient and one that will mating it easier to cross lines in various city departments and im really excited about this to tonight, really looking forward to the impacts of what happens with this, so i appreciate you taking the leadership and bringing it forward to us, thank you. Thanks maybe somebody out there whos listening will develop an app for a
Government, weve seen open data used in practice already and we can see how it can accomplish all of the positive benefits i mentioned, whether its to help publish Health Scores on their website, helping residents making healthier choice, or make sf rec park to help people make picnic reservations or using your smart phone, all the examples i just mentioned are real examples of how open data can improve the lives of our city resident, further fuel Economic Growth here in San Francisco. Specifically, this ordinance will enumerate open data numerical standards, it creates a sense of accountability and certain for the public and Entrepreneurial Community, it creates city staff and agencies to interact with the public about relevant data set and is the priority of certain data set and is creates for the first time in the nation a strategy for residents of San Francisco to access their own data and furthermore and very importantly ensures we have the tightest privacy measures to protect our

Right, we want to make sure the chief data officer is in place and that is coordinating for all the different department, it really prioritizes the data which was existing in the ordinance before my ledge slaix, this is not only creating timeline that is are responsible to make sure we are acting on this data but also we want to make sure our city staff has the ability to take the time to hire the right chief data officer here in San Francisco and that person can be the one coordinating going forward. Okay. So, i guess theres for the Department Data coordinators, even though they might be identified before the chief data officer comes on board, they have things to do. Got it. And the other quest
Information thats being transferred from nonprofit to our city through the grant process and i think theres plenty of opportunity to make it better. And just two more questions, number one, how much is this going to cost us . I mean, you know, from our perspective, there isnt a massive cost involved, some allocation within our city departments with time to put this together. Theres money i know already allocated to many city departments in order to develop a lot of these systems in the first place, so were just going to probably redirect some of that funding in order to help organize this system . I think thaoes a very appropriate way to think about it. Okay. And then this is a bit of a selfish question. So, im on the Golden Gate Bridge board and we have a system for our agendas and the details that are provided to us as board members, so when were reviewing the information, not only are we able to look into our board, its called board effects and go through any of the agendas for any
