10:44 am
time the process takes to move forward now we have the revenue coming in we can now build housing and other aspects and cut that time in the future would be my hope >> just to clarify this adaptation or adapting a recommendations for approval would be the historic preservation remittance. commissioner antonini. commissioner borden. commissioner hillis. commissioner moore. commissioner sugaya. commissioner fung. commissioner wu. and that motion passes unanimously 7 to zero and now update on the tracking it's an informational presentation
10:45 am
>> jonas i have some copies. good afternoon, commissioners. good to be back i'm here today to update you on the tracking system i'm kelly i'm a senior planner with the department for the last year and a half i've worked open this i want to introduce isabel lewis here in the audience it the project manager and we report to thomas. so the presentation i will run through is the same you have before you in hardcopy form. this will be a bit of a repeat but some of you haven't seen this. the project this will be a joint
10:46 am
project with the dbi the consultant team is the software company and a local firm named 21 tech. a little bit of background. back in 200506 they identified the need to ugsd the systems we've done studies that resulted in 2008, to 2011 we develop and implemented the departments action plan that k345i7bd over thirty items and one was this tracking system. for the past two years we've worked on the design and implementation of the project. one of the main goals of this tracking system is to presiding provide an all in one system
10:47 am
multiple databases into one. the data information with the building department. it has a tracking system but doesn't include the application for the tracking. it includes the multiple system for the miscellaneous permits like fire and a police we have a separate database for our historic properties and case intact etc., so they'll obey merged into this main system. the staff and the public are elements. and a component excel is the term for the public portal. we're prelim a system which
10:48 am
allows us to transfer, however, many we'll be doing over a hvd layers to excel and that will be a huge improvement, as far as, information to the public. we have designed a single point of entry for the poub public to access this system we've got this web page. if you know which permit or planning application you're looking for you can go directly to the permit tracking page that looks like this. it's the citizen access page it is a more user friendly of the back office system and leased
10:49 am
within this page you can see the various functions and the schedules etc. there's hard copies here on the table if you like just an important note is that this system is a tracking system it is meant to track projects the main source of information for property information will remain the property information map this was development many years ago and if you need general information about a property you should still obvious our map at the starting point and you'll see what we called pi m.
10:50 am
the system will require an accounted so you have to log if you need to conduct a transaction like paying a fee that kind of thing but all the information will be available without rentals to do a simple search for information. for instance, and again, because we don't have a single database available for the public today one example that the public can search for both the dbi record is for example, a condition filed within the timeframe you can energy that acquire and get a list of the applications numbers and it will put you into that project for the
10:51 am
information. just a couple other important features is for the ability of the public to file applications on line. the billing department allows this you can get a permit on line but not enabling available for planning we have selected a you historian of applications but we're starting out with the higher level we thought the ones that make sense we that this is a huge convenience and currently you have to schedule a meeting for the applications so with you knew system you public can file an application at any time online we also can allow you to schedule meetings online. and the system is electronic review and processing.
10:52 am
so if an application comes in trolg they can the astronomically be issued like product assessments we can issue a letter without a hardcopy. we're trying to do environmental good also letters of determination things like that. another benefit of the system will be a huge amount of transparency and information to the public we've designed it to track the mrathsz at the detailed level. you the public can't see a lot about what is filed but you can go to the planner or the supervisor to get the information this has detailed information you can click through that is available to the
10:53 am
public. for instance, in the analysis phase of a project you can see any of those steps. everything from planning to clerical starch to routing it to the supervisor and back and forth this will be helpful to the public to see what steak it going on and how long it's taking. also all formal recommendation will be 20i67d to notices and letters anything we've issued publicly you can click on the link for the documents. here's an example of 0 gene shot of the test system that shows details. each planners name will be
10:54 am
linked and any comments about this step in the workflow will be visible here as well. the reporting piece of the system is another significant enhancement and it includes performance reports obviously there's a lot on our minds of the backlog we'll be able to track the backlog more frequently and we've designed the system to break the backlog into the relevant pieces like whole thing it gets routed to the manager and the planner starts work those are aspects of the backlog they track the pieces we can combine and track. lots of additional land use we can collect that information and
10:55 am
it includes all the written documents like case reports that contain information about a project can be automatically generated with those automateed reports. as i mentioned it is a web based system that will be available for staff and the public anywhere, anytime that you have the connection. it offers easier assets great for the staff they'll be able to have mobile device and information that will be available in realtime. we have been doing public outreach in a variety of ways
10:56 am
the building inspection and your reports and we assembled a small group of 10 to 12 people and rodney represents that we've used that group for testing and we've made presentations to anyone that be interested like the stakeholder group. we're currently developing a testing system we're doing training and we'll be offering training to the public as well as staff. lastly the timeline. i mentioned we're finishing the development and starting to test is this spring we'll be doing training and hopefully, the system will be ready for a launch this summer. most of the planning work go
10:57 am
will be done by mark but the data is another aspect of this system i didn't know how much this includes so this work for deploying d is still underway we need a few foremost to get this copied into the system accurately. we'll continue to work on that and know in the next few weeks which it can be launched hopefully, this summer. that concludes my presentation if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> let's take. first my questions on the tracking system. >> i'm interested in any
10:58 am
technology digital technology. we do have in the bayview precisely park contractors center. it's start of the arc computers and fiber. i'm wondering if to accommodate the thirty thousand unit planned in our ear if the planning department can schedule a couple classes because we have a large classroom with computers, you know, like 40 or 50 computers. it would be ideal for the planning department to schedule a presentation at this center. the san francisco public utilities commission contract
10:59 am
center to we could understand better and be educated on the legion and a few other things how the building inspection and planning department wish to move forward in the various fields that, you know, attending the building the building - the department of building inspection meetings and land use we've seen from time to time many things are ♪ sync. this process didn't happen yesterday it may have taken three or four years before it got to a place. so it's not easy for the law man to go on the computer and understand the process.
11:00 am
so again, i'm asking you that we do have a state of the arc contractors center we don't have another center like this it's in the bayview. if you don't know about that i'm bringing up it to your attention. there are two people who can give you a tour one person is ben. so when you call you can schedule a meeting. i know bring as many people as you want 50 to one hundred people and i can bring them >>
