as you can see - under the highlight section on the right side of the page it's 13 the portal launched on november 17th and the average number of users is one hundred and 14 it was 9 users like in 23 part of that my guess is we're not requiring people to sign in we're not able to capture any personal data we were able to at least capture people's e-mails so it makes it a little bit less on and on reduce we're seeing an uptick with the individual are that are on the portal and go to the crack with additional assistance or coming to the office as a result of visiting

the portal and then because we're noted asking people to sign in with their zip code we have some indicators but adapt drilled recycle we used to like the supervisorial district so this also gives us the business portal has the startup kit it gives us a view of the top kits access of people and then at the top on the left hand is location of where people are coming are from to access the site with at least we can tell whether they're coming in from san francisco and if that's the highest number was california being second. >> what's the difference between sessions and users. >> sessions it would be that it

can track same users so like someone like me going could go back continually and the user is the unique user. >> interesting so see you have 4 hundred and 88 international. >> that they know about us. >> they are going to move money into new york city they're blind investigators and the portfolios the sfgov page there's there's a website the portal is highlighted there. >> it's interesting to know what people are looking around for all right. anything else. >> that's it with the dashboard and activity take place with the portal and the business assistance center in the report i just highlighted out again, i talked about from the mayors

state of the city but the women's economic power the women's empowerment section from the state of public safety address under the prosperity and there will be a meeting in the next couple weeks to have discussions around it and if the commission would like to be involved this is something we can did you and take a look at if you have ideas on what he would like to be involved with this the short-term rentals officially february 2nd was the first die that the individuals needed to register to clarify some of the process with this ever individual needs to become a registered business and they need to do that before registering with the planning department they do need to also file for

the transit occupancy test and this is going to be somewhat confusing and i feel somewhat sadly for those individuals because right now any of the hosting sites they're not certified as certified hosting entities to file the transit occupancy take into consideration with the city but some of the sites are also worldwide w withholding that 14 percent in preparation they're going to have to pay it so that's an unfortunate thing for individuals they themselves are going to have to pay that tax a host site become certified but the treasurer is aware the individuals maybe double taxed so once the hosting site is certificate they've set up on mechanism to file for refunds. >> do you have a special tab on

the business portal for - it seem like a perfect opportunity were going to have a rush of people coming. >> jane was great for aggregating the tax informs and the planning department also, we are advising people to you know if they have been highlighted on the site for you know have been listed on the site for a couple of years to strongly come clean on the back registration back taxes they owe because once a hosting site does register the tax and treasurers office will ask for a list of individuals that have been listed on the site so if they've recorded when they register now and it end up being they find discrepancy

there will be penalties seated to right now, we're that's one of the things we're kind of really encouraging people to be honest about. >> get good with the take into consideration collector. >> was there outreach to those. >> i side know that some of the hosting site they're also trying to educate they're the people that are registered with them and also providing them with information i do know that airbnb is saying we're collecting the transit occupancy tax for you but but you know which is somewhat they're doing but the cats you don't have to my it but the individual does that have to pay it until the hosting site becomes certified so i do know

that some of the hosting sites are going their own outreach. >> the transition period to be expected there are complications anything else. >> also in our packet is a letter so steven cornell was appointed to the sfmta advisory committee and the background a while back i announced liz borden woos was appointed to the sfmta as a small business representative that came out of the meeting with the small business leaders there is a letter that the sfmta sense advisory committee has forward on to full board to recommend doing an economic impact in regards to the construction to local businesses in regards to the polk street

the fire and so i didn't have adequate lead time to have the departments come but so we are able to march 9 and 23rd look like appropriate dates right away right now in terms of the legislative schedule and the departments to invite i wanted to make sure that we in agreement that will be the sfmta mta and dpw and planning and oewd in regards to working with the private developers. >> can we make sure that's a meeting in the evening most of the impacts are during the daytime so it would be invites to have that opportunity for them to come. >> all right. 0 that's the march 23rd meeting so just want

to make sure you know. >> no. >> the earlier, one. >> i'm sorry march 9. >> okay. >> thank you for that correction i switched the meeting dates so overview as i understand you want coordination of major projects and so, so there's a master coordination plan for projects and you know does that master plan work also exclude private projects and then you know does the city like we have a gun control o good neighbor policy for the city's do they have a good neighbor policy would each the departments ask that in time for the private investment and wanting to know

prongs is there sort of a last number of years you'd like to get some look at the number of projects the department has done over the locations size - >> i'm not interested in a historical prospective i'm interested to know if there's currently in there a crook a way to coordinate their efforts i don't think we need to have a historical prospective but going forward because we have heard stories and witnessed situations where there are offering will you explain projects and kind of amplifies the distribution to local businesses if we hear from the organizations if they have liaisons or policies in place that require they coordinate those efforts so are they

effective? if not how do we get them to do so >> so that's leads to the next power point the next legacy will be heard and i'm having a meeting with the sf historic society to discuss the marketing program and any remind you that the legacy legislation right now is just for register sort of benefits for like tax rebates and things like that are developed and will come latter and we have the updating legislation it's scheduled also i noted that supervisor avalos is conducting a hearing around
