Within our city contracts that the companies that do service for us do not own the data that they generate from us, that they will have a contractual obligation to share that with the city so that we can mine that to the rest of the city, thats advance of opportunities for everybody. I know at the heart of sharing this data, there is going to be a lot more jobs created, a lot more people out therein venting new ways to establish Small Businesses that will improve the way we live and work and play in the city. And we look forward to great events like a super bowl host or Something Like that, were going to be able to give people a really rich amount of programs that they could access from here to santa clara to san jose. We can act regionally with our data and we can join and continue to be in the great city of San Francisco. So, i want to thank all of the people, all of the different starting up companies here and those that are inventing with us, thank them for celebrating innovation m
Think is going to be coming up in the city, which is announcement of our new chief data officer. Some people may think that the Budget Office is mostly being countered, but really our office is focused on how do we make government more efficient, how do we make it more effective, and how do we use information to make better decisions. And i think thats why the mayor has asked that the chief data officer sit in my office. So that they have access to Financial Information as well as a team of people who are already inclined to work on analytical problems. So, as the mayor and board president chiu indicated well be hiring a chief data officer looking for the best and brightest people. So, if you know of people or if you yourself are interested, id love to talk to you, so, find me after. The role of this person is to figure out how do we build on what weve already done in terms of open data, how do we make government more transparent, what kinds of standards are needed to make sure that da
People dont know there might be an existent location that they dont know about that could be related to their health. And they could have that instantaneously. These are just three of some of, i think, just hoards of examples that when we allow Data Analytics and this is really to me a Technology Geeks really dream, is to have all of this Data Available so that we can mine them in different ways and very creative ways. And i want to say, again, as someone who has worked in government for 23 years, ive been at those departments like dpw and others where we think in one dimension. This is where we clean the streets. This is how often we clean it. This is when we tell the cars to move off. And this is what dpw does and it does it pretty well within that constraint. If you shared that data with companies who are looking at where do people live, how what their patterns are, we can get a lot more creative. When we open our data, when we suggest to departments that they can work in collaborat
Us, thank them for celebrating innovation month in such a exemplary way. And i think were going to have a lot more to announce before this month is out, including on our way to the world series. Thank you very much. applause now, if i may introduce our partner in crime here, board president david chiu who is also going to be complimenting us with all of his efforts at the board. Come on up, david. applause good morning. I am incredibly excited to be here today for a couple of reasons. First of all, the hatchery is one of my Favorite Places in the city. There is truly a bee hive of activity of the newest innovations that San Francisco will be famous for. I also love the fact that just a couple of blocks from here is where our San Francisco giants are moving on to the world series. But just in this room, all of you are giants and making sure that San Francisco is the World Champion when it comes to innovation. 13 years ago, i like all of you started a company.

More accountable to all of you as the residents and as our customers here in City Government. And this is why i am proud tomorrow to help move forward legislation that my staff has been working closely with jay nath and mayor leon that will real i do three things. First of all, it will create a chief data officer because we need one person who is responsible and accountable for moving forward our open data agenda. Secondly, were going to require every department in the city to have a representative who is responsible for data so you can go to our transit agency, our police department, any of our 50 plus departments and know who can help you get the data that we need. Thirdly, we need to make sure that we have common standards so that as this data is presented, all of us can know how to use it, how to play with it and move things forward. Now, i want to take this moment to issue a challenge to the smartest and the brightest in San Francisco here in this room. There are three ideas that
