permit fees for these grab bar installations. anything after that 60 day period which i believe is running from early june to around june 14th will then be subject to normal dbi fees. i have mentioned to you before we have with us today another item that you will be hearing on supervisor tang's reintroduction on the awning replacing during the month of may. we did this last year for small businesses to replace and refresh their business look. last year we had about 10 permits that came in during that fee waiver period. we are hoping that maybe next year we'll have more advanced preparation for this and there will be an opportunity for this

supervisors office and myself to do more outreach so small businesses are aware of this opportunity during the month of may. we are observing into the month of may, small business awareness month as well as building safety month that we do every year. one other catch up item is on the toxic legislation that i have mentioned to you in previous reports and the city attorney is coming up with another version based on from dbi and from the puc and b [!ez dpw and going over this, essentially this will expand the zone for these projects beyond just the perimeter we had for many many years. so we are likely to have many more

projects that will fall into this expanded toxic area. the challenge there will be to identify when a project is in this ma har area. the project owner is going to have to then go to dph and make sure their toxicity levels in the soil and ground water meet d ph standards. dph is going to release the letter to the director of dbi so we can then actually issue whatever permit we maybe reviewing on that specific block. essentially as i understand it the process is going to continue to work as it has been working. it's just that given the building, given the mandatory soft story retrofit and how that may disturb such cubic yard soil which is a key trigger for this

dph review, we are anticipating that this could increase the volume of reviews by dph significantly as well as planning and we have especially asked dph to ensure they have sufficient staffing to deal with this. the acting director has made a suggestion that they have a dpa director to sign off authority as one of the work stations to expedited those types of review. that is what we are still waiting to hear from that. but according to the mayor's schedule for this legislation, it probably will be introduced at the end of april. it will go to the advisory commission in may. it will come back to you probably in may and they hope to have it take effect in the middle of

july. so, just fyi, more details are coming on that. i will mention one other one which is supervisor chiu's bottle filling station, that is a piece of legislation we have talked about before where it now will apply only to new construction but as you know the building code requires depending on the occupancy load a certain number of water fountains to provide water to people and they must be accessible according to disability requirement. supervisor chiu 's legislation requires, that provides water as well as a person to fill a bottle. his goal to try to eliminate plastic water bottles from landfills. i understand

that is very likely to come back with a recommendation to you, although the supervisor's intent if i understand it correctly is to have this take effect on the first of july. those are 2 new pieces that we are waiting on. i believe that's about all in the way of new legislation i can tell you about. >> thank you, mr. strong. >> item c. update on tracking system. >> acting director. unfortunately today our mis manager had a family emergency. she is not present today. generally the new system is under way on time and then also to mention about the testing on those device. we have two

options. one is the samsung phone and the other one is the notebook. i think they are still trying out, i think they have those device ones finish the comment and have all the inspectors using it. >> okay. thank you. >> item five d. update on major projects. >> as we have roughly 34 cranes in town right now. and then the number of projects still coming in, the major projects hopefully, we prepare for it because that's one year next time to do the organization and information to the public. we

are trying to start our plan checker and the clerk and there is inspect or for those special tasks. any questions on the major project? >> just let us know if you are not getting the help you need with regard to the staff. okay. >> is there any public comment on the director's report? item 5a through d? >> i know the time restriction here so i have been requested for the item the close session the key person we need there from the city attorneys office is on a time restriction. and would have to leave here about 1:15. so we have another dilemma here with regard to the scheduling of the calendar. so

would 2 to ask here, one is we go into closed session now and change the calendar lineup or 3 we continue. i don't know if you will continue today or not. >> only item i think we have is item no. six and i think we will need to hear that today. >> i want to move 13 to 6 position. >> somebody here from the supervisors office. okay. >> but the closed session is -- so with that. can i get any comments on that? do you want to go into closed session or would you like to continue? >> i would say that we continue with no. 6. i don't think it's going to be very long. you know

about how long your presentation might be? >> so not to move 13 to 6. just to keep six and we are all okay to move after six to move 13 to no. 10? yes. and we are cognizant that to move to closed session. >> yes. ordinance file no. 1234. the planning code 302355 a in amending building code for the month of may for certain facade i am improvements including environmental findings with the

general plan and priorities policies. i'm here on behalf of katie tang. we are introducing this ordinance to provide level -- in recognizes of small business month. this ordinance was passed last year and as was also mentioned we received 10 fee waivers and are expecting to do additional outreach this month in preparation for may to make sure that we can either in crease those fee waivers or get information regarding the need and necessity procedure around replacing awnings and signs. one to support the difference

and the ordinance that we felt was very important. a lot of small businesses owners felt it was very educational that they want to replace the signs, apply for permit and pay fees. so we expect to continue that educational outreach in front of you, there is a packet that we would like to give to small businesses. these are statements that we want to go into if they want to replace awning and signs. it will be translated into three languages. english, chinese and spanish. we plan to work with other offices as well as the office of small business in job

squad in neighborhoods for get ting this out. we apologize for the short time in this translation. we want to offer something for small business month because it is a priority to get something done for small businesses and we hope to do more preparation and planning in advance. if there are any questions. >> would this be available on your website? >> yes. >> i think this is good and we supported it last year. i think we should support it again this year. i would ask the supervisor announce it with all of your colleagues and chambers because i think every supervisor district has a small business corridor. last year we

felt this is under utilized. there were no more permits than we normally got. i would like to have a little competition and that maybe at the end of may we'll come back and we'll say what the most permits were taken out by whatever because then we can have an idea. because i think it's in incumbent upon your office to do this outreach. >> that is a great idea and in our discussion with our supervisors make sure they get out to the community. >> give our best to your new supervisor. >> anymore questions? >> seeing none. thank you. >> any public comment on item six. seeing none , we move to
