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
The first item which says [inaudible] chief data officer. Okay, and then the next thing is this 3 month, the City Department shall designate Department Data coordinators, would that remain the same or would that push it down a little bit since we dont know if we have the chief data officer yet. 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
And i am now the president of its board of directors, i was on the commission of the agency in the early 1980s and early 1990s and [inaudible] which ive been stuck for about three decades prior to my [inaudible] and a great advocate, strong advocate for family and children uses on that block. I was on the de young board of trustees and helped them with the building of the new De Young Museum in golden gate park, i helped the port of San Francisco after more of a decade on the moratorium of building with the waterfront Land Use Plan and as a director of real estate helped to formulate the strategy. So, i am good at helping projects that are stuck to get unstuck and i am hopeful that my experience with large scale Civic Projects but also with Affordable Housing and neighborhood news can be useful for Treasure Island. It was the third great public project of the 1930s after the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay bridge, it is a place for tremendous historic significance and also of dreams. To
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 question i have is is the expectation that the plan itself or draft of a plan be developed given that year or would it be sooner because im looking at Something Else here that says six months. Right. Just to take a step back and as a concept, e what we want to do is we w e ear creating timelines to make sure were acting on this and were providing this to the public, we gave the chief data officer flexibility because theres certain needs in certain department, we want to make sure were meeting their needs as well, i dont want to have the consequences of pushing timelines on people if it doesnt make sense, were giving the chief data officer flexibility within that. Okay. So, the answer to that is really if it gets done within the year, thats the timeline, okay. Any other questions, colleagu
