And good morning to all of you and thank you for where you are Public Service. I appreciate it. I pretty much said i wanted say about myself and normally brief about myself one thing i want to bring before you is one of the things that got me into working in Public Service and transparency was i had found this during the dwo 000 election i spent, lot of time yelling at my tv and buzz i was anxiety row and i finally got to the point in 2004 i said yelling at my tv does in the do good i need to get up and may be do something about it. That started my johny doing something other an being a citizen this voted i wanted to participate in government. How i wound up here like cascading list of thing this is occurred, i started registering verts. I did work with the log of women voters in informing voters i learned when the processes were in government i like many only knew. Oh. There is more this goes into temperature and i believe and i my belief has been strength emed we need transparency in government allowing ordinary citizens to look at government and say, yes, you are doing had i want you to do or no, you are not doing had i. You to do and have a mechanism to make voices heard. So. Which is how im winding up here. With the nominee for the Sunshine Ordinance Task force. Because i believe it is an important part of government to have transparency. If i can help push that up a hill, i am willing to work to push that boulder up the hell. Thats why im here. Brevity. Im always brief. Thank you very much for considering my application for this position. Great. Thank you very much. I will just say that i am a colleague former colleague of yours and appreciate the many years we work youd may have left you retired a couple years before i left the City Attorneys Office we worked together for a dozen scombroers atest to your commitment to our city. I appreciate your wellingness to continue to serve on this body. One thing i ask about this is something i talked to folks about on the committee is im hopeing in the next couple years we can think about ways that we can work on processing improvement to sunshine. One thing i had seen overnight years is it would be nice if there could be a way what Information Technology could have a process for speeding up report of things. Not gumming up peoples jobs, there are way in this day and age this we might want to think about having a department of technology to handle the questions the responsive e mills. Having it go to the City Attorneys Office. Here is had needs to be redacted improve processes i think would unburdensome folk who is get you know have other jobs. And improve transparency. I welcome opportunity to work on this with you. Okay. Any thoughts. Thank you very much one of the people in the City Attorneys Office who would get the sunshine ordinance requests and fasz them to the departments i believe that with the growth of technology there are ways that we can work with the system to make it more efficient. Will we get the fund to do that . We may want to but if we dont get the funds to do it people will get frustrated they dont understand the 2 things go together. Yes, i agree that there should be ways to able to stream line it. Should be ways to get our decisions from sunshine ordinance. In a data base that people search for. This we can w with departments to make sure we are operating on the same system. Hey. Id love it. Im sure everybody on sunshine would, also. It is good to see that you have that same thought in mind and i look forward to working with you. I look fared to working with you all making sure that thing can happen. I do think when it come to transaarons and sunshine temperature is undeniebl there are costs this are associated with responding to Public Record requests. It is reminiscent about education if you think education is expensive try ignorance if you think transparency is expensive how about a government that is not transparent. I think this this is principle and will something we had invest. I agree. Joy appreciate your support itch dont see anybody with questions. Mr. Clerk.

The departments request is to essential low require a program to act as a dash board for social media postings. We could have the twitter, facebook, next door and instagram located in one screen not having to use 4 different programs to do one social postings and can track the response we get from the mead why in one spot instead of 4 different, counts. If we can use this tool we can sync it to on line on our website people can follow what is happening in the department throughout social mead ja and link that to the calendar they request and we can get the information over to our calendar on our website. It is an efficiency tool. I know this gone through surveillance Technology Process it is not us trying to collect information or use it of individual this is interact with the department through social media. And just a dash board so everything is in one base and reduce the number of people that work on social media. I can take any
