4:15 am
director and chvd those are all the items no others that need to be covered on functionality for going live with data migration we're 3 and a half to 4 weeks for the last data migration observe the history this is one of the problematic areas and so this is again, this is the finally stages so that final run takes place at the end of april early may the reporting side of things has become an issue that we didn't anticipate prior and this is really two items the tech reports are philosophical of flow developed, however the changes and configuration that happened over the course of time the data migration changes the
4:16 am
procedures have caused us to look at the situation we're not able to q and a those 60 reports so we've had q and a sessions because the data we can't imply quality of report but with the final migration run in a state we've got a very how qualities set of data to finish the q and a with the reports the where it says dbi that's the m i s team that has the responsibility for developing the reports the most complex to develop the 60 those are remaining balance of the report we have balance issues that left resources with the dbi the staff has been replaced on site so for
4:17 am
about a month they've gained traction so we've got 6 to we're averaging three or four a week this could end up being the long attempt as far as getting the good live, however, everywhere we've recently got fund we're working on secure that shoring up the reporting to bring that timeline in culmination of all those items a series of end to end semilags to one demonstrate across all the decisions between dbi that will accelerate the support we've done unit testing they've tested their system in prior times to show something can interferes from beginning to end and
4:18 am
exercise all the function alter incubating item is the final full daylight migration run at the end of april early may we anticipate that the simulation will be utilize to mid may to have that took place we'll capture times around on the 6th floor the over the counter permits but the inspection we need to make sure how know to pump out sometimes up to three or four hundred permits a day once we've had a successful conclusion of the simulation run the dbi executive team will have that that concludes my presentation. >> that's when you'll actually be able to give us the goal so
4:19 am
right now we're not in the business of taking up milestones imagined. >> correct. >> april may. >> that's exactly know the point i want to make. >> that's the timeframe by which - >> i know the time you're going to decide the time. >> yes. yeah. yeah. >> protecting our wiggle room. >> 21 items, 14 left is it the numbers you used. >> in the 14. >> 14. >> how many items are we still working through to determine a go live situation oar on the 21 number functionality. >> and their prioritized so we know we've got to top 7 handled and the last 14 are not go.

4:21 am
processing guidelines before you again we've been unthe bar over last year to keep the number of permits that are authorized to do the priority permit processing to a minimum otherwise all permits are priority especially with the mayors you housing issues so this time a it is fairly minor changes the planning department has issued a new bulletin that is two of the bulletin substituted the last bulletin the bulletin covers not only dbi and the planning and department of public works since planning revised theirs we're in
4:22 am
discussion with them along with the department of investment and we made suggestions that there's aligned a little bit more with our benchmarks with the green building regulation they decided that they were with respect not interested in doing that so we had to decide to follow theirs or create our own and it was decided that one set of guidelines works best for processing things we opted 3 new items under the green building requirements one is other than the high-level of green buildings certification they are 7 new residential unit more than 10 thousand square feet of commercial or more or 24 scapegoat of changes so anyone
4:23 am
one of the four qualifies in addition to the requirements that are put in place that's it on a b o for your recommendation. >> so do we have to take this as a separate item or both together. >> they can be taken together. >> commissioner walker had a question. >> no a motion. >> we need to have a decision about 11 i can present for 11 and possible discussion and for the administrative bulletin for the volunteer the volunteery soft story would do frame building the board of supervisors ordinances number 30 dash 16 so history wise we have a no it's already in place 54 dash 10
4:24 am
this has an update program for san francisco nodding is when it passes passed through this defines soft story buildings and as what standard to update interrupt to that we have an ordinance 6 of dash 13 went into effective last year the or may or may not program narrowed it from the volunteer program and the - now we have a new ordinance not necessarily soft story but 30-dash 15 allows planning relax of planning code regarding parking and number of units density and stuff they're
4:25 am
doing projects that quality for the previous two seismic update programs and with that i'm going to introduce ed finney the chair of the co-advisory committee that will fill us in on how those interact. >> good afternoon, commissioners thank you nice to see you you so ab 94 an administrative bulletin we didn't have standards for update those soft story building we wanted to encourage people not to come up with a standard but go ahead and start the process to myth the soft story building and then 34 b changes captured is intoxicate a willow for the fema standard that provided the
4:26 am
engineering criteria to calculate the soft storys so the incentive to accelerate the volunteer soft story building under oakland army base is superseded offering them expedited permitting didn't net us any value from a housekeeping stand out we don't need ab 94, however, it got written into this this is a question legality some folks think we should keep it as a reference i'm not an attorney but it probably happens more than times than not not sure how to dismiss the ab the
4:27 am
cac talked about the needed for the seismic subcommittee we talked that and they don't feel it is no longer needed so the code advise committee suggested to have ab 94 rescinded. >> can ask a question. >> yaed commissioner walker. >> the distinction of what is soft story is different slightly in both of those cases if that's the case are we 86 does that make sense to leave something in place in order to apply it to those buildings that don't necessarily apply to our announced program or mandatory standards to our mandates building. >> for instance, the mandatory
4:28 am
program a 5 units or more and the other didn't have the mandatory unit so four units or less are still under the volunteery program the date of the buildings built was may have 19783 are before and the mandatory is 1978 or later so there is a slight difference clean up work to be done. >> you're dealing with that so we don't create a - >> correct. >> okay. >> so associated with that a letter we forwarded to the commission also based on the recommendations from the seismic subcommittee regarding the new ordinance 30-dash 15 allowing
4:29 am
new living units into buildings that quality for mandatory updates under 34 b but other buildings but particularly the structuraliers were consulted go ahead time and the folks that helped to create and the following abs were not involved with the supervisors office regarding the creation of that class of building in the ordinance so in we're surprised it came out actually and i'm not a structural engineer i'm a architect forgive me their concern if i can look at a
4:30 am
global picture from a high-level the new ordinance courageous new units in uthsd building, however, the structural engineers said those are the weakest of the building and ab takes the achilles heel anti but at the end of the day decrease a game bit of building in the community we're giving incentives to the weak buildings even though they've are mandatory they're still weak building in my letter i had help from the committee to write we have two concerns we want strong buildings and housing; right? the basic gift of discussions landed on we want to encourage new units in the
