dan lowry, chief building inspector. steve penelli, the chief plumbing inspector. rosemary, a housing inspector. john, and the acting senior building inspector. they have provided a whole range of categories of performance ranging from addressing nov's and inspections. when i look at the numbers, it is really commendable. again, thank them for their continued service, and good job and good work. also, i would also like to say the effort of the commission would be to also maintain and keep moving forward with the balance of the year, strong support for not only staff, but for the categories of how the department will continue to perform and take on the challenges of reduced staff, but at the same time, probably the ingrowing load of good work that is coming into the city. all of that, i hope, will provide an uptick to not only the growing economy in san francisco, but also our department, and hopefully, a push to provide additional training and equipment will come into play. looking forward to the results of the contract negotiations to finalize the permit tracking
