>>supervisor malia cohen: 4 years. okay, now we have a relationship with a vendor that it's already been created. now we are in the implementation stage, testing. i agree, we don't want what obama went through with obamacare. this is just as important. we are testing. when will the testing stages be over? >> it's my understanding from a meeting that we had recently the testing is about the next couple months and looks like this is going to roll out sometime towards the end of the spring. >>supervisor malia cohen: okay >> at least that is what it is right now depends upon what happens with the testing. there are a lot of features that we wanted to provide including greater transparency so the citizens had not only see the summary of the activity, but also be able to see the notices of violation online and the information from the department of building inspection and department of planning. it takes a while when you are dealing with a plan that you have to mold to your particular environment. this is one of the larger j

>>supervisor malia cohen: thank you. okay, so we've actually as i mentioned before in my remarks had a very detailed report for the civil grand jury and i'm going to refer back to some of the issues that were raised. in particular, while i didn't agree with everything that the grand jury reported out, their findings did warn some of the findings did warrant a follow up. i have two questions, my first one is the grand jury report found that only the dbi housing division was collecting monthly violations fees in the fees in the effect of $52. the code enforcement, the building and plumbing and inland empiral e -- electrical side were not. are you now collecting this fee? >> the fees are now collected after the report. >> can you tell me how much the fee is? >> $52. >> the same? >> yes, we work with the city attorney on that. they are the city code enforcement and monitor the case. >>supervisor malia cohen: do you have any notices of violation longer than 12 months? >> i don't have that. >>supervisor malia cohen: okay the r

>>supervisor malia cohen: thank you. >>supervisor scott weiner: to follow up on eastern neighborhoods. i think eastern neighborhoods whatever one is view on the rezoning is an excellent example of what happens when transit infrastructure needs aren't adequately taken into account in terms of impact fees in a rezoning. eastern neighborhoods adopted to increase density, to allow for more housing but a very very small portion of the impact fees go to the transit needs associated with that increase development and i think this is an issue that i have made a big deal about over the last few years and whether it's in mission bay and whether we recommended today. i have made a number of different contacts. we need a lot more housing in the city and we've started to do that, but if you build housing without robust increase in transit capacity we are creating a real problem because we are going to have a growing city and if people feel they can't rely in transit and the capacity isn't there, people are going to drive cars and we

>>supervisor malia cohen: don't wore about that. >> thank you. >>supervisor malia cohen: we'll let you know when that time is up. one of the things that i'm keying in is the stellar system. there is multiple recommendations about this system and i have heard about it for three years. when is it going to be up and operational. what the heck is taking so long. how hard can it be? you can address them in any order. >> i will tell you that as one of the managers, we've been spending a lot of time committed to getting this up in total because you are looking at a permit tracking system, a complaint tracking system and a major data transfer of data from the existing complaints tracking system and permit tracking system, socio these are huge records, probably 3 or 4 projects in one. >>supervisor malia cohen: how long have we been working on this project. >> the director is working on that. >>supervisor malia cohen: i know that you have been working on this project. >> i have been working on the -- project now. my inspectors go into the field and have to

and i think researchers that malia cohen and supervisor wiener and john avalos and i have been working with really are documenting and showing what the best research on how that's harmful not just in the ingestion of that drink and eating a lot more, but also in its long term effectses on people's health, not just with diabetes, but also obesity and other diseases that harm people's way of life. also, our measure will create an accountability mechanism, an independent 13-person steering committee of public health leaders, parents, students, community members will be responsible for ensuring that the revenue is spent fairly. and again, it's about 40% to the san francisco unified school district for physical activity and health and nutrition programs, about 25% to the recreation and parks department for parks and physical activity and recreation and about 25% to the department of public health for continuing health education and about 10% to community-based groups for health work and physical activity. i also wanted to say that a significant amount of the money will also go to alternativ

over the last year our office along with supervisor malia cohen worked with a broad range of stakeholders so rights advocates, nonprofit and private housing developers, business community and law enforcement to develop the fair chance act. our goal was to reduce racial difficult parrott in the criminal justice system, improve safety and well-being, yet reduce the cost of the criminal justice system saving taxpayer dollars. we knew the success of this policy hinged on stakeholders investing this law work. an attestment to years worth of teamwork, it is coming to the full board for historic vote including both hometown youth papers san francisco chronicle and examiner. once this ordinance passes today, hopefully with the unanimous support from this board, san francisco while following the best practices of over 10 states and 56 municipalities will be the first local down the box lock in the country that covers affordable housing, below market rate units, contractors with the city, private employers with 20 or more employees. the policies embodied in this act helped open the doors of opportu

>>supervisor malia cohen: no, but thank you for semantics on nov 's. how many remain open for longer than 12 months. i noticed the department has been able to provide this information before. >> if i just speak to code enforcement, right now regardless of time whether it's 1 month or 10 years in our code enforcement now we have 10150 open cases. of those. 982 have been sent to hearing, but the balance then naturally they are still open, all of them are open, but like over two-thirds of them have been processed to hearing and our procedures are exhausted unless some are referred to the city attorney. if that answers your questions. with regard to the building inspection division, they maybe able to answer that for you. >>supervisor scott weiner: okay. thank you. >>supervisor malia cohen: do you have an answer? >> i can come back with that number. i don't have that number today. we comply with violations. there were almost 8,000 complaints. we look at every complaint and we are able to move on these complaints. we have probably over 4,000 complaints. we

>>supervisor malia cohen: thank you everyone. it's great that you are here. this is an important topic because it affects everyday people's lives. as i told my constituents, it's not one of the most sexiest or glamorous legislation, but it's just a critical when we are talking about having an impact on people's lives and the quality of life that they are living with their families. i want to also acknowledge that certainly the last 3 years my office has been working very closely with department with dbi, with planning office and with fire and with the civil grand jury. we have been studying this for about 3 years. i will to have give a compliment to these departments and say you are miles of where you are before at least in the open notices of violations that we've had in the city and we've had emergency demolitions and we've come a long way. i'm excited to continue to have this conversation. i think it's very important that we are not let up on the pressure or the sense of urgency on this very important topic. i hope that as a result of this hearing we'll be

i first would like to say from the bottom of my heart to thank jim -- i mean jane kim and malia cohen for bringing on this initiative for us. growing up in the bayview hunters point back in the early '80s and '90s wasn't always easy. some of us have felonies on our records because of hearsay, not of actual crimes that we committed. because of the discrimination and the pipeline to prison and the color of our skin, we are often categorized and cast out of everything. so, i do believe that this is a new day. the system that has all set us up as failure can be broken and can be mended. we are new people and it's a new day and it's a new time. and like martin luther king said, whether we go from here, chaos in the community, thank all you supervisors because i see we're going for community. >> thank you, ms.

>>supervisor malia cohen: are these specialist across the city? >> citywide. they go anywhere and deal with the cases. in 2012 we were asked to participate in citywide task force participation. they don't necessarily have to be housing code violations. but they are getting the types of complaints in that building that cross interest departmental lines. we issued 25 notices of violation which translate to 320 housing violations. we had additional reinspections and when you get to the different departments that you have not seen before and make sure you get that information to the city attorney. in 2013, 20 notices of violations issued because of reinspection we found additional violations and because of the nature of violations we'll sometimes issue a specific notice for heat or illegal occupancy and separate notice for the maintenance items because they have a separate item for compliance and we take it through that process. some of the cases maybe opened because the work has been done but not seen the payment of cost and this is an overall participation in th
