it is a parking communication app that can save your car from getting towed. i'll explain and how we can serve the city better. the way code tech work is you can register your license plate with our service. if anybody sees your car parked in a bad way, for example, it's blocking a driveway or your headlights are left on, they can send a text message to your phone via the license plate [speaker not understood] skew me. to improve our service, we need to access the city's towing data in real time so that curb text can automatically send -- automatically and instantly text people to alert them that their car has been officially targeted for towing by the city or will be targeted for towing by the city in the event of sunday streets, for example. another example is when a parking control officer radios for a tow and the dispatcher records that plate number, at that moment we'd like to know the plate number. then we'd be giving that person a chance to move their car before the tow truck arrives. if they can't move it, at least they'll know what happened to it and

then they can call sfmta requested tow and see who move the vehicle faster. all we need is the license plate number the car the city has cited for towing -- >> mr. maxa, the time is up, but i want to give everyone an equal number of time to speak during public comment. >>> sure, thank you. >> are there any other speakers? >>> good morning, supervisors, my name is douglas yow. i would like to speak in favor of this item even though on the record i think it belongs in a different committee. in regards to open data and procedures, i would like to recommend three items for this new system. number one, the obvious, pornography. number two is the even more sinister child pornography. and number three is the disgraced whims with l blower program which was highlighted in yesterday's examiner regarding the $750,000 that the poor people will miss out on in order to pay a doctor who was humiliated illegally, in my opinion, by the city and county of san francisco. ~ whistle blower so, if we're going to talk about open data, i among other people want to know what's inside
