today i'm here to request the release of the funding for this project that's currently held on reserve. i'm pleased to be here to tell you about the portal and pleased we received a favorable recommendation from the he budget and analyst committee. i'm going to take you through a couple of slides. >> can we have the over head display. >> okay. as you can see, starting a business in san francisco. this is a quick he will -- this is a quick illustration. i understand the pinpoints of starting and a growing a business in this city. i don't think it's just in san francisco, but it's probably in every city in this country, but it's not easy for business owners to start and grow. with this example, i'm

showing you starting a restaurant or a cafe, the business owner not only has to come here to city hall accident they have to visit the planning department, the health care, dbi and they can skip entertainment police, and mta but only if they're lucky. so how can we remove some of the arrows that are in this picture? and how do we make things easier for our business owners? the vision for the business portal is the stream line with the city making it easier to start, and stay and fwroe -- grow in san francisco. we want to create a great experience for our business owners and we want to provide those business owners with the right information at the right time. while we're doing all that, we want to provide reporting back to city leadership in various departments. phase 1 of the business portal project was

called license 123 and launched in february of this year. license 123 was an office shelf shoft wear product that we purchased and what it does is it provides a customized list of pdf forms based on industry types. we've been able to assemble information for 258 business types across 19 industries. it's interesting to note that most of the -- the highest number of searchs based on industry businesses are in the food and drink category which makes sense because that has the more requirements. 70 percent of our users are starting new businesses. and we've done preliminary research. some of the feedback we received from license 123 is that they liked having all the forms in one place, so that

flight earlier where they had to run around to department departments, they don't have to do that. they can come onto license 123 and download. they enjoyed the choose your own adventure of your layout and they like to search for information at their own pace. what is this telling us? based on the preliminary research, our users are saying we're doing the right thing, but there's so much to be done to improve this because having all the forms in one place is a great thing and it's a huge part of starting a business there's so much more information that business owners need to seek out in order to be successful. and that brings us to phase 2 of this project. face 2 of the business portal project is a collaboration between multiple departments, the department of technology, the office of economic and work force development, office of small business and the mayor's office of civic innovation. in phase

2, we'll research, design and implement a one stop personalized business portal with industry tool kits and i'll go over that in a second. we'll build a dashboard to allow agencies to track our progress and successes. we'll tea up the portals for online forms and e-signatures and payments so we can accept forms online and electronic payments. we need to think about phase 3 and we like to map out a business plan to stream line the licensing process and we like to move onto e-payments and also we like to provide ongoing support and upkeep and maintenance of the portal. when we're talking about the portal, i thought how do we

deliver services at the office of small business. when i'm sitting at the counter with a business client, i ask them, are you here to start a new business or are you an existing business? what type of business are you starting? as we begin this conversation, i get a better idea of the type of information that they need. i can provide customized information to the business owner. and with the portal, the point with the portal is replicate that personalized one on one experience. when the client comes onto the portal, you'll notice there's a selection button for the language. we don't have the budget or time to hire translators to translate that so we'll start with the goggle translation, but we know we need to provide translation so the translated pages can save

our mono logo business owners. they can answer whether they'll have a physical location or home business. if they chose a physical location, the portal will take them to the zoning check. this forces a business owner to make sure the space they're looking at is compliant with zoning restrictions and people come in and know what they're looking for, so for those users -- those users can select quick tool kits and if they know i'm starting a restaurant, with a click of a button they can access the starter guides and this is a road map. it teaches a business owner to think about getting from point a to point b and it's not about selecting a space and putting together a menu, they need to think about

ada compliance issues and getting the proper permits. the tool guide will help them for see everything they need to think about in order to start the business. in the business portal we will continue to support licensed 123 to allow the user to assess a list of forms that they need to fill out to apply for the proper licenses and as i mentioned earlier, we'll have a dashboard. what is it this business portal? well, i like to think of it as the go to place for all things business in san francisco. we're here to request the release of the funding that's on reserve and we're beginning the process to hire a team to work on the process and selecting the right vendors. the bulk of the work will be done by the end of this

year and early next year and we're looking forward to a soft lunch between may and june and a full launch between june and july. as we continue to build phase two, we need to think about phase 3 and beyond because there's so much more that can be done to simplify the business process in the city. with that, i'll take any questions that you may have. >> thank you very much. colleagues, do we have questions? >> i wanted to thank gong for the work on this. it's a great work of your past background and web base. we would agree of the under staff business and i know you're trying to expand access. it's great that 70 percent of the people served our new business start up or owners, but i want to caution about the use of goggle translate and how limited that

can be and hopefully in future phases there's enough to have really great experience translators to work with your office as well, but i wanted to thank you. this is a great use of technology to expand the access to small business owners in the city to make your office more accessible to everyone. thank you. >> thank you supervisors. >> colleagues, any further questions. mr. rose, can we go to your report, please. >> mr. chairman and members of the committee, on page 31 of the report, we displayed the budget for the release of the funds. we believe that budget is justified and we recommend that you approve the a requested release of the 2 $217,200. thank you very much. >> colleagues any questions. seeing none. we'll go to public. no public comment. i

want to thank you again. thank you for being here. i can't wait for this to go live. can we have a motion to move forward. >> mr. chairman, you're releasing the funds. >> we're done, that's it. >> motion to release the funds. thank you supervisor avalos. >> madam clerk, do we have other items? >> that completes the agenda for today. >> thank you very much. we are adjourned. >> all right. guys i'm going to go ahead and get started. welcome to the opening
