that is the good data we can get out from q-matic. it has been in the making for the past two years. we have already paid for it. we have to launch it and get the value we spent on it. commissioner hechanova: is it the same process for everyone? >> we can provide a permit at that time. any more questions? commission>> will this be able o accommodate the small homeowner, as also the large permit? >> yes. most of this operation is for the fifth floor operations. when you look at the flow chart that i have, a very simple flow chart, when the customer comes in, we go to the information conduct. we will look at the scope required for services, and they will review them to all the stations we have, and then the most important station is the initial permit and takintake one fifth floor. they will input in the record the permit record, and also determine the station they need. we give them a ticket how many produce stations they have to go through, and each station will perform the check, and hopefully they will go for permit. right now we ha

i know q-matic has been a long time coming, a couple years maybe. but lacy a lot of movement in the last three to four months, which i appreciate. i think the directors we need for moving this along, getting it to this point. i suspect it is not as complicated as permanent tracking. but i still appreciate you guys pushing this, moving this along, and now we have a firm start date. i would like to be about to broadcast to everyone that november 21 is the new date, the start date, and that is it. >> that is pretty firm. the date is pretty firm. >> it is not going to take 24 months. i think the other is also the challenge to the culture of change get it from within, how things had been done before and how our staff worked with each other. hopefully everyone within the department can embrace this change and that we are essentially a big team. but also, the members need to work and cooperate, and hopefully the better service through all this cooperation and the system will make the service and make q-matic successful. >> thank you. the staff basically al
