The ordinance is finally passed [gavel] item number 17 item 17, ordinance to amend the ministry of code to acquire the Department Technology to gather information from City Apartments concerning cityowned fiberoptic facilities and to require the Public Utilities commission to commission any future expansion of cityowned fiberoptic facilities. Supervisor farrell colleagues, our city continues to be Technology Innovation capital of the world but as we all know many times daily our own City Government technologies like and you get well know the importance of Internet Connectivity in todays world and have all talked about as utility just like water and power looking for. I want to thank supervisor mar for his help on this. To enhance our own city operations, i do believe it is critical to understand current state of affairs. So, lets all had the do a survey for the city to privacy catalog our fiber assets in the management of these assets. Therefore found these garments were able to estimate their cable links on control the tone of a centralized conference of tracking system for that. They also made two key recommendations. One, we should consider developing legislation or policy to consolidate and satirize data regarding our own assets also include provisions to recommend policy and all my work asset we publicly babble and kept up to date to facilitate any potential future expansion. So, with the cosponsorship of supervisor mar i introduce a ordinance acquiring the city to vote mapping catalog are cityowned fiberoptic acids in digital format. As well as give the feature discussion around major city fiberoptic expansion into the hands of the Public Utility Commission again, as the internet continues to be viewed more and more as utility not only at the federal level but the sec reclassification but at the local level. In my opinion, we need to get our own house in order and look forward to expanding in the future good for my perspective the recommendations can be more clear if another serious discussion about expanding fiber optic capabilities really urging the Digital Divide that exists are many San Francisco residence. I do want our city to be on the cuttingedge of broadband expansion and this is simply up or step in that direction. We many more things to come including a larger report from the budget and legislative analyst will hopefully be released sometime this picket again i want to thank supervisor mar for his involvement in that the floor to discussion ahead. Supervisor mar thank you. Committing themselves and our city to move forward our Fiber Network. Are my hope is it expands to consideration of invisible Fiber Network lake in chattanooga tennessee in other places. I want to thank supervisorformer supervisor ami anna from 2007 for working with a budget analyst to look at how San Francisco could move forward with the municipally owned citywide Wireless Broadband Network and also the budget Analyst Reports backing from a year ago where they looked at the huge Digital Divide. Over 100,000 people without access to the internet is probably hundreds of thousands more that dont have access to broadband or highspeed ages about 25 mb per second if you look at how fast your home is, its probably not that fast for hundreds of thousands of people in San Francisco. I supervisor farrell said, there is a clear Digital Divide for low income people, communities of color, people over 60 and 65. Theres also a lower income kids that dont have fiber to the home were faster speeds at home, unlike others who may have the money to pay for its. I would just say that the budget analyst also identified the site looking potentially municipally owned utilities like municipal Fiber Network like chattanooga, but also looking at how to increase training for people with disabilities and seniors, digital training for youth outreach with the private Companies Like comcast to expand internet essentials and other programs. Besides looking for the mapping and the managing of the Fiber Network, i think we also should be looking at how San Francisco cant be left behind as a potential ticket city like austin, stockholm and other cities. Im looking forward to this but hoping also keep moving the Digital Inclusion task force or Committee Members and also keep pushing on a potential municipal Fiber Network for our city. Thank you. Seeing no other names on the roster, colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call .
