>> thank you. i wasn't going to chime in but have to congratiate on all the wonderful work you do on a shoe string budget. you are able to leverage relationships and obtain free bes left and right, but i fully support- >> legally. >> i fully support your efforts to expand. you do incredible work and as been stated your staff are professional and don't know how they manage multiple matters and effective and efficient so thank you. this brought up a question now talking about sharing information and when i got on the commission it was a challenge do you compare apples to apples when you work with oranges and i have something else i'm working with. now that we are adopting

what i envision will be improved earlier intervention system benchmark system i know janelle is very present in these spaces, but i want to know whether there is interface and is this introduction or roll out going to involve any partnership with your department to insure you have access to that information because a lot is going to rely on reports your agency is generating? >> we had discussion with the department and they are limited because of where benchmark is now with the development, so the main thing we have to do and as relayed is make sure the information that can be shared across match the fields and information you are sharing. i have to use my hands. our data base has fields where we input information. we have to make sure those fields whatever it is matches the same

fields or have fieldss built on benchmark side, and so part is in the development process and so we started talking to the department about getting access or able to create some dashboard but only in the preliminary stages where we want to help and do these things, but we have been told they are far away being able to create anything now so put it on hold until we figure what fields we are able to create and have in the system because we can't connect our fields to their fields until they know what fields they have, which is why we propose-that allow to create something through sales force that we can connect and i give a estimate of 8 months but sure we can have it created in 3 or 4 months, but that would give us the ability to be able to connect data and allow us to get ready for benchmark is prepared. we were told we will get access to benchmark, what that is not sure so we

will see in the future hopefully as talks continue. matching the fields and getting the information in the architectural stage is key. >> since you asked and brought it up, the issue is what will be available is something different then what can be shared and what we receive and as you recall i asked for that budget to be included in the technology development when the department was getting the benchmark contract for a bridge so the information can be shared and to date my understanding is that we still don't have a budget for that so even after it is built all of the supplemental supplies or supplemental build out that has to be done on the dpa side is unfunded. there is no budget for that unless i'm missing something. >> we dont have budget for that at this time. >> it is still-we are moving in- >> would you have any information about how

to support the addressing this budget gap that could potentially impair our ability to create more transparency? >> more thought needs to be put into it. >> i encourage to itemize this. i requested we have a benchmark presentation. i know the implementation kind of timeline is pushed back. it shouldn't interfere with the ability to have this convarsation. as this system is still being built out. i am hopeal hoping we can get that agendized soon and hopefully you can be present to inform what field we can create and push for on janelle and my end as we develop the dgo to respond to the new system. >> to be clear we are excited about benchmark and dpa and does reflect best practices in terms of data collection and represent some of the best practices in terms of data

dissimination, but those improvements and those technologies come at a cost and the costs have not been included in the process. >> benchmark said they center the ability to do help our systems talk. >> great. i is have a meeting with that team tomorrow and we'll make sure that i put this item on our agenda whether to address tomorrow or speak to in the future. thank you. >> no problem. >> seeing no other comments in the chat, thank you so much mrs. armstrong. can you take us to public comment? >> the public is welcome to make comment regarding item 10. please approach the podium or press star 3. there is no public comment. >> thank you. next item. >> 11 public comment on all matters pertaining to closed

[music] so, can you tell us what it was like for you during your first encounter with the san francisco fire department?

>> yep. it was super cool! i got to learn about the dry standing pipe correction. it is actually called, dry sand piper just stand pipe. tomato. you know. yea. >> so, what is coming up next for what is that for? >> oh , firefighter backsterinvited mow to a fire station to see the cool stuff firefighters use to put out fires. you have seen the had doors open like a space ship from out of nowhere. i close my eye its is like i'm there right now! wow! whoa. watch out, man.

what is that for? >> what is this? these are fire engines they might look alike they are both red. white top and red lights on top. this is a new 2021 fire engine and this is an older 2014 fire engine. if you can't tell, this one is shorter and narrower than our older fire engines. they have cool things like recessed lights. roll up doors. 360 degree cam ares and more that is important as the city is moving toward slower and safer streets adding parklets and bulb outs and bike lanes we need to decrease our footprint to keep us and the community safer on emergency scenes. >> what's back there? >> when is not guilty fire engine. great question. i want to see, sure. >> let's go back and look at the equipment and the fire pump on

the fire engine. >> this is a fire pump. it is cool all the colors and all that. this fire pump and this engine holds 500 gallons of water that is a lot. >> a lot of water. >> it is push out 1500 gallons a minute of water. we can lose our 500 gammons quickly. why we use hoses like this to connect to a fire hydrant and that gives us unlimited amount of water to help put a fire out temperature is important we have enough fire engine in san francisco to put fires out. so we can reduce the injuries and minimize loss of life and minimize property damage. [music]

>> mr. will. mr. will. will! >> oh. daydreaming. thanks, everybody for watching! bye! [music] dev mission's goal is aiming to train young adults, youth so we can be a wealth and disparity in underserved communities like where we are today. my name is leo sosa. i'm the founder and executive director for devmission.

we're sitting inside a computer lab where residents come and get support when they give help about how to set up an e-mail account. how to order prescriptions online. create a résumé. we are also now paying attention to provide tech support. we have collaborated with the san francisco mayor's office and the department of technology to implement a broad band network for the residents here so they can have free internet access. we have partnered with community technology networks to provide computer classes to the seniors and the residents. so this computer lab becomes a hub for the community to learn how to use technology, but that's the parents and the adults. we have been able to identify what we call a stem date. the acronym is science technology engineering and math.

kids should be exposed no matter what type of background or ethnicity or income status. that's where we actually create magic. >> something that the kids are really excited about is science and so the way that we execute that is through making slime. and as fun as it is, it's still a chemical reaction and you start to understand that with the materials that you need to make the slime. >> they love adding their little twists to everything. it's just a place for them to experiment and that's really what we want. >> i see. >> really what the excitement behind that is that you're making something. >> logs, legos, sumo box, art, drawing, computers, mine craft, and really it's just awaking opportunity. >> keeping their attention is like one of the biggest challenges that we do have because, you know, they're kids. they always want to be doing something, be helping with

something. so we just let them be themselves. we have our set of rules in place that we have that we want them to follow and live up to. and we also have our set of expectations that we want them to achieve. this is like my first year officially working with kids. and definitely i've had moments where they're not getting something. they don't really understand it and you're trying to just talk to them in a way that they can make it work teaching them in different ways how they can get the light bulb to go off and i've seen it first-hand and it makes me so happy when it does go off because it's like, wow, i helped them understand this concept. >> i love playing games and i love having fun with my friends playing dodge ball and a lot of things that i like. it's really cool. >> they don't give you a lot of cheese to put on there, do

they? you've got like a little bit left. >> we learn programming to make them work. we do computers and programming. at the bottom here, we talk to them and we press these buttons to make it go. and this is to turn it off. and this is to make it control on its own. if you press this twice, it can do any type of tricks. like you can move it like this and it moves. it actually can go like this. >> like, wow, they're just absorbing everything. so it definitely is a wholehearted moment that i love

experiencing. >> the realities right now, 5.3 latinos working in tech and about 6.7 african americans working in tech. and, of course, those tech companies are funders. so i continue to work really hard with them to close that gap and work with the san francisco unified school district so juniors and seniors come to our program, so kids come to our stem hub and be exposed to all those things. it's a big challenge. >> we have a couple of other providers here on site, but we've all just been trying to work together and let the kids move around from each department. some kids are comfortable with their admission, but if they want to jump in with city of dreams or hunter's point, we just try to collaborate to provide the best opportunity in

the community. >> devmission has provided services on westbrook. they teach you how to code. how to build their own mini robot to providing access for the youth to partnerships with adobe and sony and google and twitter. and so devmission has definitely brought access for our families to resources that our residents may or may not have been able to access in the past. >> the san francisco house and development corporation gave us the grant to implement this program. it hasn't been easy, but we have been able to see now some of the success stories of some of those kids that have been able to take the opportunity and continue to grow within their education and eventually become a very successful citizen. >> so the computer lab, they're doing the backpacks. i don't know if you're going to

be able to do the class. you still want to try? . yeah. go for it. >> we have a young man by the name of ivan mello. he came here two and a half years ago to be part of our digital arts music lab. graduating with natural, fruity loops, rhymes. all of our music lyrics are clean. he came as an intern, and now he's running the program. that just tells you, we are only creating opportunities and there's a young man by the name of eduardo ramirez. he tells the barber, what's that flyer? and he says it's a program that teaches you computers and art. and i still remember the day he walked in there with a baseball cap, full of tattoos. nice clean hair cut. i want to learn how to use

computers. graduated from the program and he wanted to work in i.t.. well, eduardo is a dreamer. right. so trying to find him a job in the tech industry was very challenging, but that didn't stop him. through the effort of the office of economic work force and the grant i reached out to a few folks i know. post mates decided to bring him on board regardless of his legal status. he ended his internship at post mates and now is at hudacity. that is the power of what technology does for young people that want to become part of the tech industry. what we've been doing, it's very innovative. helping kids k-12, transitional age youth, families, parents, communities, understand and to be exposed to stem subjects.

imagine if that mission one day can be in every affordable housing community. the opportunities that we would create and that's what i'm trying to do with this >> well, thank you for your patience. usually i'm always most low on time. so i appreciate you waiting. i'm san francisco mir london breed and welcome the brown bombers to city hall today! thank you to the parents and theville tierce, all the coaches and all the folk who is show up every day for our kids it make sure they are a success. both on the field and off.
