8:31 am
with president fong and he was receive active on this meeting i've left him the details because they meet every week. he promised to get back to me. he did ask to try and have a better understanding as to what the agenda will be about. maybe we should give that some thought. he stressed that's all fine but doesn't want this long-drawn-out joint meeting we need to be clear and specific on our issues and vice versa i kind of respect. so commissioner walker has been through this commissioner lee i lean to our expertise do you have three or four items
8:32 am
>> we had three or four meetings and we had some of the same things we started to discuss we needed to discuss now as far as the possess probation officers process and surfacing between our department we motive predicable it as far as timing. some of those are processes together and that's across the board from the beginning of applying to a permit to when it comes to our department and noted to be reviewed. some time southern when it comes back to be more efficient in doing what they are doing providing service to the public. is are things that are issues then and now.
8:33 am
so i'm certainly happy to break down the verbiage if you want between now and the next meeting so we can do that. at least that and if someone else has - >> commissioner lee did you. >> no. >> commissioner mar no. i'll think about it two >> i'll write something up and send it to you. >> if that's okay with everybody and next item. >> is there any public comment? on item 8 seeing none, item 9 commissioners questions and matters and at this time the commissioners may make inquires of the items of interest to the commission >> seeing none, no. okay. next >> item 89 b future meetings
8:34 am
and agenda. at this time you may set the next meeting or determine the agenda items and for other future meetings. as mentioned earlier we have a special budget meeting on february 4th at 9 o'clock and the next is in february >> commissioner mar. >> i had one item that i had talked to president mccarthy about earlier maybe with the assistance of commissioner mccray and commissioner melgar i want to request that we get some feedback from the mayor's office of housing on the plans to subcontract some of the housing authorities even if it's a preliminary plan the department
8:35 am
has to get rode for the unit that are coming on line that will fall on the per view of the tenants side. because we've got to service two divisions. it doesn't have to happen at the next meeting but i want some outreach to the mayor's office and they can schedule someone to come to our future meetings >> i will absolutely no problem put that together. you just let me know if you can put it together >> whose supposed to pull it together. >> it's american people open statement. commissioner walker. >> that might be on o one of the issues on our planning agenda
8:36 am
those are existing buildings or weaver so maybe we can have that be an agenda item at the time. it's going to be a month out and there may be more information as far as looking at the planned >> right now to my knowledge the r f q hasn't coming up come out. >> i'm not sure it involves many change in the use at all. my understanding is they're putting out an r f q to take ownership from the housing authority to nonprofit developers. there's some rehab work that's going to be involved. but what that means for our department is that whereas we weren't not inspecting those units unless, you know, we went
8:37 am
through the special process they will fall under the same jurisdiction as other multiple units in the city. it will increase our portfolio by a couple of thousands unit; right? >> so that's aspect. >> it's got budgetary. >> uh-huh. >> it's humane we should discuss it i'm not sure it's a planning issue you're taking over the inventory scott wagner is one of the reviews like the office building on market street. those are how this around planning. i want to see the whole packet discussed to see ahead of problems how our departments what work towards moving it forward.
8:38 am
that is huge the market street project and getting building and planning on the same page. i just think that might be a good thing to add to the agenda to add legal unit >> okay. >> commissioner walker go actually, this is part of the accepted directive we have to report to the mayor by february 1st. this is an issue a moving target it's not just one time we'll continue after february 1st >> maybe for the housing
8:39 am
authority i was thinking about isolating it. i i know there's plans for the other housing projects but i'm concerned with the older housing properties the more their building new ones i'm worried about two things as the commissioner alluded to mainly the workload for our department. the older places definitely need work and i think, you know, our department needs to get in there to make sure it's done right and we want to encourage that to happen quickly. the other side is the tenant. i'm sure the tenant will, you know, if they have problems or complaints or issues they're going to be complaining to us more directly than they do now.
8:40 am
i want to make sure we're ready to service bodies and we have the mindset of that's what is going to happen >> how is the housing rights committee specifically they've been 0 pro-active involved in housing authority even though we had an agreement with the housing authority just a written agreement to help prioritize their issues. that's been in existence for 10 years maybe a little bit less than that. the housing rights committee has been pro-active in encourage that relationship. not necessarily successfully in the past but they probably would be good to - they're part of our code enforcement outreach program and probably would be
8:41 am
interested in making that more official >> yeah. actually, i see this coming but we don't know how much impact that's why you know in my hiring more housing inspectors we increased 7 more housing inspectors and put two more supporting staff also in the housing because it's coming later they're coming but we don't know how much yet but we're increasing the staff trying to have them trained and learner more but how much impact we don't know yet until that time. i work closely with the administration office >> i was suggesting we isolate the discussion that's more than the mayor's office of housing if they want to come they won't
8:42 am
want to speak to all staff if we can talk about the housing authority that would be helpful. >> it would be appropriate to discuss with the mayor's office of housing both the issue of the re-visioning but all the in law issues. they've done a lot in terms of the in law units to bring them to code and assisting and training the owners inland or tenant issues so they're responsible owners and adhere to the protections. in this whole discussion there's
8:43 am
a lot we could talk about the interaction of the two departments to come up with the best practices and policies. i don't want to make it too much either but it's coming >> commissioner mar you frame the item and anyway and we can - if it's a big item we can do the difference. >> yeah. >> but you have a lot of levels of discussion. >> and if we can get someone from the mayor's office to speak on the issues i'll be more than happy about that. >> their problem is this role earlier in planning this process? >> they've been planning about a year and a half. >> we'll extend the initiative for someone from the department
8:44 am
to come. >> any public comment on this item? on items 10 a and b. if no one we'll ask for approval the minutes >> any public comment on this item?. all in favor, say i. opposed? minutes are approved. item 11 adjournment. any motion >> motion. >> second and all commissioners in favor. opposed? it's 11:27 a.m.hub.
