days -- several vacant positions that we were not able to fill due to the fact there were no current lists available. they became available so we have new hires coming. we are interviewing again on monday for additional clerks for the first, second -- all of them actually because we did it get a new list and we will be replacing those people and we will be able to replace them -- interviews are next week and we hope to have them within two weeks. that's going to help on a lot of the problems we are having. >> so some of those, they would

take the place of some of the vacancies that show up here or is at and after the vacancies -- >> some of the new hires are already listed because this was as of july 18th. they are not listed due to the fact we have not hired them yet and they will take up some of these vacancies, so there will be new names next month when i give it to you. the other thing i would like to mention is that emily morrison who was on loan from dhr is now a permanent employee which is improving our personnel department issues. that has helped quite a bit in some of our areas. >> does she have support staff?

>> she has to support staff. -- she has two support staff. we actually have the equivalent of two and half full time people helping which really helps out. >> under what category -- >> payroll and personnel. >> they are actually under administration. i would like to ask commissioner murphy -- all of these people were, first floor -- technical services is on the first floor.

the commissioner is right. there is a wrong line to the permit center. the commissioner is right. i'm sorry. >> thank you. one other category -- with the large projects coming on line, are we -- do we have the staffing and within the budget to provide a review for civil to structural to the first page of document review? >> we are bringing on a new

plumbing checker, and electrical plan checker will be coming on board. the mechanical plan review right now, we have several vacancies. we have put in recommendations to fill those vacancies -- the air-conditioning and all of the vacancies which will be quite extensive. we do have some vacancies in plan review which we will be filling. >> commissioners. >> thank you. >> item 6e. >> we have all of the systems tested. we're waiting to get the people we actually have to help the

people through this system -- it is ready to go, finally. >> can you go through the broad description and how it is organized provided the level of service? >> i would start with a new customer and not a frequent flier. the new customer would come to the information counter on the first floor. they know their street address but they do not know their lot number. all of the information is needed up front and they would be routed to the health bet -- to the help desk. they will look up to find out if there is any complaints on the property and find out if there is a discrepancy in the number of units or any information that

would be needed for what type of permit they're trying to get. normally it would be an over- the-counter permit. they would be routed to the building department directly. all of the routing information would be put in by the help desk on the first floor. they would be routed to the next available service area they would need. the other item that would happen is if one station had a blockage, it would rob the customer to the next available station. planning would be first and in most cases -- after that they would be routed to the next available station.

the actual clark has the ability to route them and they will sign off and route them to the next station. the clerk's staff has all been trained in this. >> is a visible queueing system as opposed to like at a restaurant where they provide a pager? >> windscreens on the fifth floor and first floor that will actually call out the number. it is similar to the dmv station. our call out station are on big tv screens that will, because there are so many, they will be rotating through and there is also the ability to put up on a

news station for the customers to be able to watch the news while they're waiting. >> who is doing the training? >> our own staff is training all of the staff. they have worked with all of the staff that will be doing this and they're showing them how to work get on the computer. >> we did some training about a year ago. >> we did, but some of the divisions have moved from floor to floor. >> it's going to be up and running -- >> by the next meeting. >> terrific. a quick question. on street addresses -- categorically, what we had gone through, the coordination with

real-estate -- who has been conducting and rendering the allocation of street addresses? >> we have been working with the department of technology on a citywide addressing system and we have been testing it. it is almost ready to go live. what they will do is for any proposed new address thing to dbi and they will verify whether the address is a verifiable address and approve it.

but the customer will still have to come in and it will be at the help desk. there are several ways we are verifying addresses now. we have google maps and we can pull up a picture of the house and see what is going on. we're also going back and verifying the number of units before we get the requests for additional addresses to make sure they are legal and there is a whole process of going in place that is brand new to to the fact the city's address will override the address system and dbi will be providing the street number addresses.

before they just sent the lots to the assessor and the system address to be assigned, nobody assign the address. we probably have about 10,000 addresses to be assigned, due to the fact that there are apartment units. that will help us when we go to the new permit system. we will have a clean address base and that will save us a lot of time. several people are working on it to clean our own database sense we are going to be the final push button on whether an address is legal in the city. >> is there a monthly update on what is being proposed and what is in place?

>> there are proposing to go live on august 15th. hopefully we can show you how the demonstration and have them come in and show you how it is going to work. it is a new thing that will be available to the citizens and they will be able to point out an address and find a property. >> terrific. technology advancing on this category. >> is their public comment on the director's report? any public comment? item number seven, commissioners questions and matters, agrees to staff. commissioners may make inquiries to staff regarding various documents, practices and

procedures which are of interest to the commission. >> i believe it would be good to get an update from our departing deputy director. there has been support and interest in moving for some of our mandatory program discussions. it would be good to bring the men and had them update us on that. >> thank you. commissioners? >> with regard to an article i recently read on violations within the housing authority and

the housing stock itself, we have significant issues that continue to not be responded to by those that are responsible for correcting this. do we execute nov's to those properties or follow-up in responses by those respective -- >> can i add to that? also an agenda item to talk about the state of the mou we have a housing authority and what our policies are. >> is more at the next meeting. >> we can have that as an agenda item and we do have information on that. >> there was some articles and at freedom of information act --

freedom of information act requests regarding our code enforcement. i think it's time to see where we are at with the housing authority properties and our understanding of helping them achieve good code enforcement. >> we can certainly do that. >> great. maybe we can invite the director of housing authority. >> if you couldn't, during the course of how your discussions take place -- >> we should invite them. >> i would like to see it. >> me, too. >> item 7b -- the commission may take action to set the date of a special meeting and determine

the items to be placed on the agenda for the next meeting and other future meetings of the building commission. >> we requested a joint commission with the planning commission. can we get that on the books? >> we have had and potentially have a couple of dates being considered. there are those where the rules of the engagement of topics of what is to be covered will be discuss prior to the consolidated meeting. >> maybe it would be good to get a date for the meeting. >> yes. if you could provide me some of the items -- >> i will do that. >> that will help me. >> the next meeting of the building inspection commission will be on august 17th.

>> and the rescheduled meeting? >> i'm not sure. >> 18th of august? >> ok. >> public advisory committee. is there any public comment on item number seven? item #8 -- review and approval of the regular meeting of january 19th, 2011. >> move to approve. >> second. >> all in favor? the minutes are proved. item #9 is a german. >> move to adjourn. >> second. -- item #9 is adjournment. >> thank you.

>> we do not have a quorum right now. we will start with non-action items and hopefully we will have a quorum when we have action items we have to address.

please call the roll. >> commissioner diazjoseph. >> commissioner joseph: here. >> commissioner roja: >> here. >> members may address the commission for up to three minutes at such a time the item is called. does anyone want to address the commission on an item not on tonight's jeagenda? >> i want to say that folks in the north beach corridor are anxiously anticipating the passage of the limited live entertainment area.

there are businesses entering in, very excited about the opportunity with this legislation to pass. it is an accessory use so it will help some of the businesses adjust their models. it will be a warm and inviting area. we cannot wait. thank you. >> thank you. we will go to the police department and introduce rich corea who we omitted from the agenda but we know he is here. please come forward.

>> good evening, commissioners. i want to come tonight, i have been here before and introduce myself to you. a little bit about me. i want to say enough to put you at ease about my background and experience. 31 years in the police department. i have been in every area of the police department. i was a permanent officer a long time ago at a station. many things i hear resonate for my early experiences. i got to work closely with some of the main players in the entertainment community at golden gate park and that was

quite an education. also the power of building relationships. i am -- have a have a private interest investment. i am sensitive to the importance of an economy for the city and a vibrant economy in the nighttime community and also sensitive to the balances around public safety. i may city resident, a fourth generation, fifth generation. i live in the city. while some folks might look at the community at a distance, i lived it. i spent a lot of time at restaurants, less so at music venues. when i have done so far is i had

one meeting with the cmac board of directors to get acquainted. we have another for august t2. in mhy -- my personal philosophy is i value what i participate or also have to question. this is often found at the root of our problems. i am the -- a liaison to this commission. if you have questions, i'm glad to answer them. >> i want to say welcome. we're pleased to have you on board. it is nice to know you have an nba. -- mba, that is cool. >> i understand business.

business and public safety, they work together. it is not that complicated. i am looking forward to the summit coming up. it is successful when you bring people in to dialogue about geographic issues and industry- specific issues. also looking forward to working with folks on the new legislation that was passed today. thank you. >> thank you. we're looking forward to working with you. did you have anything? we have the rival of two more commissioners. we have a quorum. i forgot to mention that there

is the addition of glendon hyde. he will be a tremendous asset to the organization. next item, reviewing the minutes of july 12. we have a quorum of commissioners -- we will have to continue that item. >> i move to continue. >> second. >> commissioner hyde, mr. joseph, mr. perez. >> yes. >> item #3. for a report from the executive director. >> good evening.

as was mentioned earlier, there was activity around this long to live performance legislation. -- limited live performance legislation. in a nutshell, after all the commission took a look at it and send recommendations in support of the land use committee. again it was passed with recommendation yesterday. july 25. the board did discuss the item today. we did continue it for a week, they felt they had to have more

discussion with community. the plan is to see that item by the board on its first reading. i have given new this legislation before. if anyone is interested, i have the package. the other legislation i wanted to make the commission aware of is something that was introduced, it is in the waiting period, a piece of legislation regarding a bowling alley in the mission. i think we attached this behind my memo there. a copy of the ordinance from june 21. i believe this will be heard

after the summer break. in short, the genesis of the legislation is a new bowling alley and restaurant are project called the mission bowling club. it is in the subdistrict. currently prohibits the business owner from allowing someone who is consuming a beverage in the bar to bring it into the bowling alley. the legislation will exempt the bowling alley. the larger impact of that subdistrict, i have spoken about

this before. and there is an article i attached behind my memo. for your information. take a look at that and we can bring this issue back. we are investigating whether or not -- i cannot find if bowling alleys have permits. bowling alleys have closed, not opened. i could not find anything about the bowling alley permit. we may not issue that. maybe there is not one. maybe there should not be. is there a question? >> is this the same as
