i have a store on west portal.ave been there about 30 years, and i am really strongly opposed to this current version of the west portal dbd. i can think about my opposition. one, i believe it was developed with insufficient community outreach. to the local merchants, property owners, and residents. basically, west portal had one landlord meeting and one merchant meeting, and it was presented to us almost like a fennel -- final document, not really with input to either of those cribs at that time. the othercbd's had five, six, or seven meetings. the others did multiple surveys of both merchants, people on the street, and lambeau boards. i believe the yearly costs are really disproportional compared to the size of others. the number of blocks and number of parcels, the valley is twice the size of west portal, and yet its budget is only 17% or 18% greater. i have asked numerous times, i came up with a magical figure of to wonder thousand dollars, but we have not been able to do it. i am in favor of this. i think it c

these funds, once approved, would go on the donation portal. supervisor chu: thank you. i understand there is a small amendment to be made that is not substantive. >> good morning. i am with the recreation and park department. yes, we would respectfully request that a minor amendment be made to the section of the ordinance that deals with the rec and park gift fund. on the first page of the ordinance on line at 17, where it says the city and county of san francisco to support recreation and park programs come at in facilities. and similarly, on line and 19th, at the words and facilities after parks programs. supervisor chu: ok, thank you. i know that we do get donations, and their members of public who want to support programs and facilities improvements. >> absolutely. we regularly have people who are interested in supporting the parks and the programs that they love, and this will give them an easy way of doing that. we very much appreciate the help we got from the controllers and the treasurer's office are -- offices in establishing this new online portal. supervisor

i think west portal has 25 foot heights. there are certain neighborhood commercial districts that maybe do not have, are not linked into the network to support high density housing in these older, sensitive arrangements, may be of san jose was not there and there were more connections for people to move through, it would be less of an issue. the other thing that comes to mind as we have struggled with this issue on mission street, where there are thoughts about reducing hides, but it's a major transit corridor and want to encourage more dense housing. >> i think it is a great question. it is a regional transit hub. it has not only bart, but the highway and muni stops. part of this is the balance to figure out between the scale of this particular neighborhood, which is quite special. with the idea of up zonian creating more density. where we came down -- the idea of up zoning creating more density. rather than sending existing bilked stocks, we could look at key sites like the bart parcel for some zoning density. but with a l

if we want to have a system with mobile devices, public portals, and transparency, every 12 months is way too short. >> thank you. >> item 8d, update on other technology projects. >> good afternoon. the committee was formed by the acting director for deputies' services. we have been meeting regularly to vet the process for choices to be aligned with business processes. other departments with staff on the system will be activated the end of october, we have been putting these issues out to make sure that they have been aligned with the way that we are doing business and not the other way around. we have tested the functionality of the audio visual systems. we have been on a continual basis making adjustments on how to improve the current system, with one permit application. the system will readily accommodate electrical and plumbing operators with minimal services needed to pay. we are still looking for the process and how to help customers who have multiple permits on the same day. the next phase will include intensive training with two staff for each service group. these individuals

>> i was with the west portal merchants yesterday morning. i think it is my job to be as responsive to the businesses in the district as it is to be to the constituents. i am the face of city hall. i need to be accessible, open, and responsive. i can help clear up a lot of the red tape for them. >> is there anything particularly special about serving in the district where you grew up that informs some of the things you take on us supervisor? >> it is very special. one example i like to cite is 18th avenue. there is a restaurant called the gold mirror. i went to school with the chef when we were seven. he said that it was too unsafe for the customers. i got a stop sign in there for him. being able to do little things like that for people i grew up with -- i know that intersection. i probably cost it many times myself. having the background knowledge and being able to do something like, is a wonderful thing to be able to do. >> are there any other issues of concern we have not discussed ayet that you want to chat abou? >> in the end, it all com

the idea would be we could make or break them at west portal. we're going to do more tests in the next couple of months because that would add some capacity to our ability to do that. it is one of the many things. the other things we are bringing in front of you over the next several months, there is a series of upgrades to the train control system, including ones you help us on a with sign edge, the next uplink is being tested right now and it will allow us to electronically show if a train is going to be short turned at its destination so that in addition to announcements, we will have an electronic one. we are also testing something called double berthing. that is when you go into a station and you see a train in front of you and you know you are in the station and you are wondering, i can see the platform, why can't i get out? that's something that needs to be done through the train control system that will provide customer convenience and i believe next month, we're scheduled to talk to you about the upgrade it to the replacement of the sig
