that's really a good question, supervisor stefani. i was probably focused on the minutia of getting a more robust system. and it's true. this is where maybe the executive committee could start tackling this very question, if we haven't done that already. >> i think what's so important, and it's kind of like deep in the weeds, but it's fundamental, is the data-sharing builds so much efficiency in their business processes. that's always the first thing that our departments want to do is become more efficient. it saves their manpower, allows them to increase their capacity, et cetera, et cetera. so when joe showed you this little diagram here, where we talk about the ability to do data-driven decisions and that collaboration allows us to build the process efficiencies and reduce data entry, so not everybody is putting in the same data over and over again. that's always been number one. so that's really the very first goal. and now what you're seeing, and what i think you're questioning, is where do we go from here. so, of course, it's th

. >> supervisor stefani. >> thank you, president yee. vallie, i first met you, what, in 2007 when we both started as legislative aids, and i'm not going to name names but there's something about working for elected officials that makes one a stronger person, i believe. i'm probably going to say that to my staff as well. it was clear then as it is clear now that you came to this work with a deep understanding, love and appreciation for your community. and you came as a neighborhood activist getting started in your neighborhoods, founding the lower haight neighborhood association and lower haight merchants association, knowing the value of neighborhood activism. and we all heard the stories of you out there picking up trash in the neighborhood. and that stuff matters. that matters to people. for decades, you have worked behind the scenes to bring real results for the neighborhoods and for the city. and you've done it without ever seeking the spotlight, and i think that's something that's absolutely tremendous. i was recently at an event, a
