they have over a dozen complaints with dbi and i'm hoping dbi can speak to that. the other day i was walking down valencia street one of my children and we were walking along and someone handed her the boa letter that you guys wrote, and was encouraging my kid to come to this meeting here, so i want to review this letter here. there is some inaccuracies in it and i want to-i mentioned it in an e-mail that was not read at the last boa meeting when this letter was written. i want to point out a couple of facts. there were parts of this letter i agree with. it was well written. there was the idea that the permit was issued in error. we will remedy that. we are confident that the gate is ours. the gate was permitted by the former owner of our building and when we got the building we got the gate. that is how it works. dbi found the permit from 1981. the very first meeting ing during the gate, there was talk about how maybe the gate was never permitted. maybe it shouldn't be there. there were thoughts the board pretended created emboldened the greenway, and all that es

dbi says it will be issuing fines for the unpermitted installation and removal of the illuminated signs , and that will help cover the costs of the inspections. tech expert larry magic said. for elon musk, that could just be the cost of doing business. raising brand awareness about the name change. the only thing i can think of is it keeps his name in the news, and if he believes that that's the value, then he's getting that. it's also possible that he doesn't know how to calculate what's going to get him good pr and what's going to be bad. we have reached out directly to elon musk and the comms team for the social media company to try to find out if they have any statement about the ex going up, the ex coming down in the new sign, going up. but so far we've not heard back in san francisco, christien kafton fox two news and the media company is threatening to sue a research group that's been reporting an increase in hate speech on the platform since elon musk's takeover of the site earlier this month. an attorney for the company sent a letter to the center for countering digital hate, t

dbi, rec and park the agencies do that pool of applicants and they filter for the students they wish to have work and go through the hiring process as if it remember a permanent civil service hiring process. short listed and interviewed. required to submit unofficial transcripts. rÉsumÉ and cover letter. and almost like they are applying for a permanent position. it is good experience if it is their first job and the fact they will go through an interview process if their first job tell be a good experience for them. why thank you. where can they access the smart recruit system you mentioned if somebody wants to on the city's website off the top of your head? >> d. human resource. >> okay. >> and what i will do is inform carla when the application period opens in november to include it in her director's report. >> terrific. thank you. thank you very much. >> thank you. thinking about the mta parking enforcement how does this now aline with the mayor's directive around real estate and making sure that we are thinking there are and helping our sister agencies think through real estate

problem and they started and then stopped in the middle, and that's why the street is still closed and so dbi has issued a emergency order to them to get it done within 48 hours, so to get that road back open. it isn't because of a city agency, it is because of the ownership of that-- >> they are dragging their feet. thank you for the report. >> thank you vice president morgan. commissioner fraser, did you have a question? >> i have a comment. thank you chief luttropp, i felt like applauding at the end of your report. such good work on everyone's behalf. thank you. i guess i just really appreciate hearing some of the details of these large fires and i know there is other fires constantly, but the two words i will be going away with today are lithium ion batteries and hoarding and something i think we have to make a whole different set of preparations for as a community. if there is anything we can do, please please let us know, because this is-those are serious dangerous conditions and we don't hear much about hoarding in terms of public service announcements, but might be good to raise aware

solar is in the city and there's a lot of discussion between puc, department of the environment and dbi and fire department on the various permittings issues. a major issue that we are looking to dig into is fire risk and fire safety. fire department has a lot of concerns around lithium ion batteries. there is press around the fire started particularly by electric scooters and other types of mobile batteries and i think we are looking to explore are there ways to-what are the fire safety characteristics of the home storage batteries that typically install along with roof top solar, and looking at is there a way to delineate a safer category of battery that we can allow without installing sprinklers that is prohibitive, which is a area that is really limiting the expansion of significant battery storage in san francisco. that's the first phase we are tackling and goting initial comments from those departments i mentioned and excited to dig into that. planning a second phase that looks at broader fildings, multifamily apartments, looking front of the meeting storage and then host of relat

i know that dsw, dbi the parent company did end up closing a couple stores, in fact, one here in newbecause of the crime in the area. didn't detail further than that, but i think that's a risk. the other thing retailers are careful of when they close stores it they often lose online sales in those zip codes because so many of us order on line and return to stores and the worry is that the loss radiates in the business beyond that store. it is often difficult to pick up that customer and get them to go to another store or retain their business online. >> it's not always a point of sale too. a lot happens in the supply chain. >> it can happen in the supply chain. obviously, shrinkage, writ large, is damage or loss in many different areas along the way. theft is part of it. it could be organized retail crime and petty theft and it could be employee theft. the retailers have not told us that a lot of it is happening but a lot of us are wondering if that is happening. somewhere along the way, if they're helping the thieves get it. i think we have a lot of questions and things to figure ou

transactions and the terminals provided by the contract have helped various departments, here just a few, dbi, airport assessor recorder and the board of supervisors. this is a one-year extension as we're about to issue a request for proposals to replace the existling contract. and the reason for the delay is that we needed some time to fully implement the transition to chase as our primary banking partner. and then for item 4, we're seeking approval for another amendment for bank of america for banking services and this is the fourth amendment, we're seeking to extend for 90 days and the amount is 8 3000. we issued an rfp pour all of our service purposes back in january 2021 and had many service areas. jpmorgan received the primary contract and transition for bank of america that's been provided to jpmorgan, many services and the product that supply payments will remain with bank of america so we're in negotiations for a new contract for these services but it will not be completed by the end of our term. so we're looking for time to complete the services. i know there is a bla report and i'm
