There

minority
mentors
for
the
kids,
we
also
process
all
the
city
payroll,
which
is
good
news
for
all
of
us.
Here
we
manage
almost
22,000
personal
computers
and
laptops.
We
also
manage
the
city's
video
surveillance
system.
We
have
339
city-owned
cameras
and
we
get
over
2,700
camera
feeds
from
other
agencies.
F
We
man
channel

all
our
pictures

now
and
add
his
denial
high-def
channel.
We
manage
over
2800
cell
phones
and
almost
twenty
eight
nine
thousand
landline
phones.
We
also
do
much
of
cities
printing,
we
print
about
30,000
water

project
management
for
every
major
technical
project
operating
in
the
city
so
prepared
to
answer.
Whatever
questions
we
can
council
president.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
I've
got
a
couple
of
quick
questions
paid
for
your
testimony
shows
you
have
385
positions
budgeted
for
fy16.
Only
320
of
them
have
been
filled
so
far.
But,
however,
there
is
a
proposed
increase
in
upwards
of
a
100
million
I'm
sorry,
1
million
dollars
per
class
100.
Even
despite
these
current
vacancies.
Can
you
want
to
tell
me
about
your
plan
to
fill
the
exist
existing
vacancies
in
to?
And
you
tell
me
why
you're
asking
for
an
additional
the.
F
F
F
F
F
You
know
things
that
the
city
would
really
have
a
hard
time
doing,
so
they
offer
a
lot
more
flexibility
in
the
workplace
than
we
do,
plus
they
offer
things
like
free
food,
massages
things
like
that,
so
we
just
can't
compete
with
that.
So
you
know
it
kind
of
makes
it
harder
to
draw
that
technical
talent.
I
know,
I
can
use
a
massage
about.
F
F
A
F
C
F
F
F
A
Say
that
so
with
respect,
so
my
question
is,
if
you
ask,
for
an
additional
1
million,
is
that
for
a
class
of
employee?
That's
not
currently
listed
in
your
unfilled
positions?
Yes,
sir!
Okay,
so
we
can't
just
move
that
money
around.
Like
you
said
you
have
20
positions
that
you
need
to
fill
and
it
sound
like
to
me
think:
there's
no
likelihood
that
they
want
to
be
filled.
Well,
we
always
we.
F
Always
have
hope,
so
you
know
I
were
always
looking
so
those
you
know
what,
with
the
with
the
finance
office
does.
Is
they
budget
us
for
those
so
actually
you're?
Looking
at
a
January
figure,
we
actually
have
about
three
hundred
and
forty
people
on
now,
so
we
have
hired
a
few,
but
we
still
have
20
people
out
there.
If
you
were
to
look
right
now,
there's
we
have
20
people
that
were.
A
Fill
the
position
is
that
we
can
find
people
currently
or
in
the
next
fiscal
year,
assume
someone.
We
will
continue
to
still
have
positions
that
funding
has
been
appropriated
for,
but
not
be
able
to
fill
those
particular
positions
internally
without
doing
a
transfer,
ordinance
or
anything
because
I
understand
we
have
you
tell
me,
you
got
20
positions
that
you've
been
trying
to
feel
for
a
while.
It's
not
been
successful.
It's
unlikely
that
you
won't
feel
all
20
in
the
next
year.
A
H
A
H
Can
get
you
I?
Have
it?
I
can
go
and
get
the
budget
detail,
but
we
show
a
certain
percentage
that
we
assume
with
in
class.
100
is
filled
for
each
department
and
then
we
have
a
vacancy
allowance,
and
so
this
assumes
during
the
course
of
the
year
we
lose
people.
It
takes
some
time
to
hire
them
and
build
that
into
our
projections
for
each
of
the
departments,
budgets,
and
so
we
don't
assume
in
any
department
that
they
are
a
hundred
percent
fill
throughout
the
year
and
the
Appropriations
is
based
on
that.
H
And
so
you
can
see
if
you
go
into
the
detail,
there's
a
vacancy
allowance
that
we
show
in
each
department
and
I
can
go
and
get
it
for
you
and
show
exactly
how
much
we're
assuming
and
ryt.
But
you
can
see,
then,
that
we
budget
by
class
and
not
specifically
by
the
number
of
filled
positions
and
that's
how
we
that's,
how
we
make
sure
that
they
have
enough
appropriations
to
hire
the
amount
of
people,
but
also
based
on
what
we
believe
they
can
get
to
and
some
departments
don't
hit
that.
H
H
A
H
A
A
Security
cameras-
you
have
your
department-
has
involvement
than
that
in
my
correct.
Yes,
sir,
alright,
so
this
issue
about
police
surveillance
cameras-
and
you
know,
over
the
years
we
hired
eunice's
that
got
screwed
up
the
whole
nine
yards.
We
were
supposed
to
build
up
network
and
I
can't
seem
to
get
personally
because
I
got
personally
have
an
issue
because
I
represent
an
area
that
has
some
real
challenges.
A
Now
we're
per
person,
an
officer
in
the
sector
car
had
basically
a
laptop
computer
that
had
had
the
ability
to
have
access
to
all
the
cameras
in
their
sector,
so
they
get
his
punch
them
up
periodic
and
look
and
see
what's
going
on
in
a
particular
intersection,
it
has
some
history
of
drug
selling
or
whatever.
Similarly,
we
saw
also
where
they
had
a
location
in
the
building
on
downtown
Baltimore,
where
they
pulled
up
every
commercial
partner,
and
we
don't
have
that
to
my
knowledge.
A
I
just
had
a
meeting
with
a
german
town
and
erie
business
council
women
bass
myself
yesterday
because
they
want
more
security
cameras
in
the
area
and
again
it
was
this
issue
about
what
we
don't
have
a
person
power
or
we
don't
have
the
technology.
So
as
I'm
talking
one
of
the
gentlemen
in
the
built
in
the
meeting
pulled
out
his
phone
and
he
punched
up
this
store,
and
he
said
you
show
real
time
people
walking
down
to
our
house.
He
said
this
guy
look
like
he's,
get
ready.
Still
so
I
said.
A
Well,
you
don't
know
that.
But
anyway,
you
get
my
point.
He
punched
up
the
exterior
of
the
store.
So
if,
when
I
understand,
if
you
can
do
that
on
a
phone
cell
phone
private
system,
why
can't
we
figure
out
a
way
to
have
more
real-time
coverage
and
I
know
the
police?
Do
a
real
good
job
and
accessing
cameras
after
the
fact,
but
we'd
like
to
be
a
little
more
proactive
and
preventing
crime.
A
F
You
look
at
how
many
cameras
that
we've
tied
into
here
is:
is
we
have?
Is
it
333
330
acres?
Well,
but
how
many
do
we
have
three
yeah?
The
cameras
that
the
city
owns
are
about
339
cameras,
but
we
tie
into
2,700
cameras.
So
if
you
add
those
together,
it's
like
real
tongue
yeah
real.
Do
I
explain
real
time
because
you
know
Kath
council,
president
I
saw
you
brought
this
up
last
year:
I
actually
watch
them
and.
F
F
F
We
might
have
funding
for
like
50
a
year
and
we
kind
of
go
by
what
the
police
asked
us
to
do
to
stick
those
50
up.
So
we
keep
adding
every
year
but
but,
as
you
said
and
I
think
you
were
right
on
the
mark
here.
Is
there
they're
largely
a
reactive
device?
You
know
the
officer
was
shot
in
west
philly,
that
famous
photo.
That
was
one
of
our
cameras
caught
that
right.
So
you
know
to
watch
those
cameras,
an
officer
at
the
divot
there,
the
del
Valle
Information
Center.
F
A
That,
if
I'm
looking
at
a
camera
and
I,
don't
think
we
should
be
using
police
officers
for
this
by
the
way
there
should
be
public
safety
officers,
which
is
another
conversation
for
tomorrow
and
I,
see
a
group
of
guys
stand
on
the
corner,
selling
drugs
or
whatever,
then
I
can't
I
shouldn't
can't
proactively,
say
to
some
guy
selling
drugs
at
this
other
by
they
had
to
come.
Please
come
got
the
camera
boom
case
boom
in
case.
F
C
A
E
C
E
C
E
Not
the
pool,
so
we
can
do
that
for
all
of
the
cameras
that
we
mentioned.
All
the
camera
feeds
that
we
mentioned.
We
actually
have
a
broken
down
by
district
police
district,
and
that
includes
a
breakdown
for
all
the
septa
and
partner
cameras,
they're
also
broken
down
by
district
I'll.
Let
the
police
talk
about
operations,
but
they
have
the
capability
to
roll
this
out
at
the
district
level,
similar
to
what
you
spoke
about.
Ok,.
A
G
G
F
I
Good
afternoon
steve
robertson,
chief
of
staff,
office
of
innovation
and
technology,
can
you
push
the
microphone
a
little
closer
how's
that
perfect
right
now
and
to
put
this
in
perspective.
Comcast
remediation
program
is,
was
an
18-month
period
due
to
be
completed
in
june
of
2017,
with
quarterly
inspections
by
the
city
occurring
along
the
way?
The
first
quarter
for
inspections
just
ended
on
March
31st.
I
The
city
is
following
up
with
comcast
right
now
in
developing
a
list
of
randomly
selected
addresses
where
they
say:
they've
remediated
their
plant
and
there
will
be
an
actual
field
visit
to
each
of
those
addresses
and
an
inspection.
So
we
anticipate
a
list
of
addresses
that
we
developed
like
in
the
next
two
weeks
and
then
beginning
late
April
late
this
month
will
begin
the
actual
physical
inspections,
okay,.
G
I
It's
hard
to
say
at
this
point:
you
are
actively
engaged
with
comcast
meeting
with
them
regularly
when
the
actual
terms
of
that
agreement
will
be
finalized.
It's
hard
to
say
we're
very
close,
we're
meeting
again
in
the
next
week
with
comcast
we're
in
the
process
of
exchange
giraffes
right
now,
and
the
last
draft
came
back
from
comcast
us
about
a
week
ago,
so
we're
reviewing
that
and
we're
already
scheduled
to
meet
with
comcast
again
on
april
twenty.
Second,
you.
F
Yeah,
some
of
the
some
of
the
some
of
the
programs
were
moving
on
the
things
that
have
been
settled.
The
only
thing
really
not
settled
now
is
the
inet.
The
inet
is
the
one.
It's
virtually
a
contract,
negotiation
and
Councilman
I
want
to
I
want
to
publicly
thank
you
for
giving
us
some
information
that
we
were
unaware
of
about
the
inet
and
we've
now
included
your
concerns
and
its
concerns
of
council
in
our
negotiations
with
comcast.
So
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
bringing
that
to
our
attention.
No.
G
F
Don't
know
if
there's
a
relationship,
but
there
are
quite
a
few
courtesy
counts,
mainly
in
rec
centers.
The
the
rec
centers
was
that
yeah
they're
throughout
the
city,
but
many
of
them
were
in
rec
centers
and
from
what
I
understood
as
a
courtesy
account
allow
them
to
choose
a
number
of
different
services,
whether
broadband
or
video,
and
so
there
are
quite
a
few
courtesy
counts.
But
I,
don't
know
how
many
array
says
about
200
throughout
the
city
and
that
200.
G
G
I
I
G
F
G
G
Have
you
fact
checked
there
and
you
know
we
had
a
conversation
with
well,
I
had
a
conversation
with
with
verizon
and
and
and
the
city
in
your
department
and
they
we
were
supposed
to
be
fact-checking.
You
know
the
addresses
that
they
have
it
has.
Is
there
has
that
been
done
yet
and
do
you
have
the
results?
Yes,.
F
We've
actually
done
a
little
bit
more
art
or
consultant
CVG
went
out
and
tested
the
week
of
March
14th.
They
tested
a
number
of
locations
randomly
to
make
sure
that
light
was
going
through
the
fiber,
and
that
indicates
that
you
know
video
signal
could
go
forward
to
all
53
locations
they
tested
came
out
fine,
they
did
have
some
trouble
getting
at
some
of
the
set-top
boxes
and
they're
resolving
those
issues.
F
G
I
D
G
C
D
D
G
J
Then,
from
my
perspective,
I'm
going
to
start
off
by
saying
that
there's
not
none
of
your
responsibility,
but
my
perspective.
The
city's
technology
is
really
needs.
A
lot
of
help.
I
mean
I
I
envision
a
city
we're
on
a
handheld
device.
I
can
tell
what
properties
I
own
will
properties
on
delinquent
on
I,
can't
I
in
all
the
tax
returns
and
see
what's
not
paid
what
I,
oh
and
that
to
me
is
very
important,
but
that's
another
subject.
Let
me
just
get
get
the
today's
budget.
J
You
have
a
2.5
million
dollar
decrease
in
class
200
I'll
just
curious.
What
how
come
this
is
being
decreased
so
much,
and
how
do
you
plan
on
being
able
to
keep
up
the
improvement
integration
of
new
technology?
The
city
desperately
needs.
This?
Is
this
mrs.
class?
Maybe
that
move
this
class
to
100
and
fill
those
seats
or
why
why
we
decreasing
is
to
own
a
half
million.
F
So
some
of
that
councilman
is
a
mistake.
It
was
inadvertently
put
into
the
wrong
fund.
There
was
there's
two
numbers
there:
the
1
million
for
the
911
division
was
put
in
class
two
hundred
and
it
was
inadvertently
putting
her.
So
it
was
taken
out
and
then
this
internal
realignment
in
911
or
750
three
thousand
was
put
in
there
and
it
was
taken
out
so
it
should
have
been
in
her
first
place.
So
it's
kind
of
a
deceiving
kind
of
deceiving
drop.
Okay.
J
C
J
J
E
Raven
daling
deputy
cio
yeah,
the
real
time
crime
Center,
went,
live
at
the
Dybbuk
back
in
2014,
so
they're
fully
operational
they're,
the
ones
who
actually
take
a
look
at
all
the
cameras
we've
been
talking
about.
Previously.
They
also
have
access
to
our
acoustic
anomaly
system,
which
would
also
be
called
a
gunshot
detection
system,
but
they've
been
live
from
a
technology
standpoint
since
2014
I
believe
in
June.
So.
C
J
Get
back
to
me
sure
the
next
question
I
have.
Is
there
any
plans
to
integrate
an
e
building
system?
I've
talked
before
these
hearings
about
water
and
sewer
real
estate
tax
bills,
computerizing
that
a
whole
area
we
spending
like
three
four
million
dollars
in
postage
a
year
just
on
sending
out
water
and
sewer
bills.
Other
plans
this
year
to
make
that
happen.
F
F
The
only
way
when
you
paid
a
bill
on
the
web,
you
had
to
pay
that
to
an
air
%
credit
card
fee
and
that
kind
of
you
know
if
you
were
paying
a
couple
dollars,
it
wasn't
a
big
deal
but
trying
to
pay
your
property
taxes
with
two
and
eighty
percent.
Nobody
would
go
for
that,
so
the
city
came
around
and
they
made
it
much
easier
charging
you
a
nominal
fee
to
do
a
debit
and
we've
kind
of
seen
a
big
upswing
on
that.
F
So
we
are
spending
a
lot
of
time
in
the
redesign
of
our
of
our
web
functions
to
make
it
easier
for
people
to
understand
where
they
have
to
go
and
how
they
pay
a
bill
up
to
the
point
councilman,
where
I
send
people
down
to
the
basement
of
the
MSP.
You
know
where
people
go
and
pay
the
bills
and
we
actually
interview
them
to
find
out
like
why
they
won't
go
online.
You
know
why
is
it?
F
F
You
I
yes
I,
actually,
actually,
when
I
went
in
looked
at
the
online
one
and
I
could
have
either
paid
the
credit
card
or
I
could
have
used
the
Adept,
which
I
think
course
about.
They
said
it
was
less
than
a
stamp,
so
you
can
pay
it,
you
know
and
the
DEP
it
just
pulls
it
right
out
of
your
account.
But
don't
you.
J
F
Yeah
I
agree,
there's
a
lot
that
went
to
pay
online
and
that's
why
we're
in
in
the
redesign
of
the
websites.
That's
why
we're
spending
an
awful
lot
of
time
on
design
and
just
never
been
done
before
just
spend
a
lot
of
time
figuring
out
like
why
people
go
on
the
web,
what
they
do
there
and
how
we
can
make
it
more
friendly
for
them
to
go
pay
their
bills
online.
J
F
Most
of
our
most
of
our
resources,
councilman
go
to
the
go
to
our
customers,
who
are
the
operating
departments.
By
far
most
of
our
role
is
there
we
do
have
a
role
of
outreach
in
the
community
and
we
do
have
a
role
of
we
have
an
innovation
section.
I
have
the
head
of
that
here
and
he
might
be
better
prepared
to
answer
that
or
we
could
give
you
something
to
writing.
Whichever
you
want.
I
can
break.
C
We
do
a
lot
of
work
around
increasing
the
capacity
for
innovation
inside
government,
so
we
maintain
an
innovation
lab.
We
also
have
an
Innovation
Fund,
and
then
we
have
an
innovation
Academy
and
the
three
of
those
pieces
are
coordinated
to
really
give
the
most
benefit.
We
also
have
a
lot
of
work
kind
of
externally
around
public
computing
centers,
so
Digital
Inclusion
work,
and
that
was
the
key
spot
program
that
was
mentioned
earlier.
J
K
K
F
Of
them,
don't
trust
that
the
payment
will
actually
get
where
it's
supposed
to
get
there,
people
who
tend
to
go
to
the
MSP
the
basement.
You
know
that
where
the
cashiering
is
where
they
actually
pay,
they
would
tend
to
be-
maybe
not
the
most
computer
illiterate
of
our
citizens,
so
there
they
fear
more
comfortable
and
actually
giving
money
to
a
human
being
and
getting
receipt
right
there.
So
you
know
so
that
that
seemed
to
be.
You
know
one
of
the
primary
reasons
that
the
people
wouldn't
go
online,
but.
F
They
didn't
trust.
My
money
would
actually,
you
know,
get
there,
so
they
so
a
lot
of
them
either
either
want
that
receipt.
They
want
that.
You
know
interaction
with
a
human
being.
They,
if
you
think
about
it,
they
didn't
use
a
stamp,
so
they
are
little
even
wary
about
putting
it
in
an
envelope
and
send
it
into
the
city.
So
you
know
that
seemed
to
be
one
of
the
primary
reasons
anyway.
F
They
had
a
group
of
people
go
down
and
they
interviewed
a
number
of
people
and
the
purpose
of
the
interview
Councilwoman
is
to
find
out.
You
know
how
we
can
design
the
website
to
make
it
more
friendly.
If
you
see
some
of
the,
if
you
see
some
of
the
websites
like
you,
you
wouldn't
even
know
how
to
pay
a
bill.
F
K
We
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
importance
of
the
fund
in
terms
of
closing
the
gap
for
the
digital,
the
digital
gap
for
our
most
vulnerable
citizens,
and
we
had
a
brief
discussion
about
the
board
and
who
would
actually
sit
on
this
and
how
we
can
assure
that
there's
diverse
representation
of
communities
that
are
committed
to
actually
increasing
digital
access
and
entity
and
ending
the
gap
and
for
for
diverse
communities,
and
you
had
mentioned
that
the
the
currently
the
fund
is
looking
to
see
only
donors
is
that
still
true.
No.
F
F
K
C
K
F
What
I
think
is
likely
to
happen
is
yes,
we're
going
to
have
the
comcast
of
the
world
and
the
verizons
of
the
world
and
the
18th
he's
the
world
on
there,
but
they're
kind
of
offset
one
another
I,
don't
think
they're
necessarily
going
to
push
things
to
their
own
business.
I.
Don't
think
that's
going
to
happen
because
everybody
else
on
the
board
probably
wouldn't
allow
it
so
I.
You
know.
K
F
Actually,
I
don't
think
we
know
yet,
because
we've
we've
made
some
actually
comcast
reached
out
to
try
to
get
some
of
their
competitors
on
the
board
for
the
purposes
of
donating
more
money.
So
they've
done
some
of
the
work
we
we
are
looking
for
board
members
to
and
we're
looking
for
input
as
to
who
those
board
members
should
be.
How.
F
Think
we
have
a
college
Steve
mention
is
because
I
think
there
are.
There
are
a
couple
other
entities
on
the
that
we
recommend
it
for
the
board.
Now
the
board's
not
set
yet-
and
of
course
that's
up
to
the
mayor-
it's
not
up
to
us.
We
can
only
make
some
recommendations
but
I.
Think
Steve
could
tell
you
some
more
people
on
the
board
other
than
the
companies
that
we
recommended
I.
I
F
I
Steve
robertson,
chief
stepho
IT,
I
think
what
you
heard,
cio
brennan,
discuss
initially
was
kind
of
what
we
envision
will
be
corporate
membership.
Obviously
we
would
like
to
entice
corporations
within
the
city
to
participate,
particularly
telecommunication
providers,
but
we
also
envision
a
non-profit
membership
on
the
board
itself.
We've
had
in
mind
the
peoples
of
urgency,
center
media,
mobilizing
project
any
other,
any
other
entities,
nonprofit
entities
that
anybody
would
like
to
suggest
the
composition
of
the
board
is
actually
you
know,
still
developing,
so
we're
looking
actually
for
stakeholders
other
entities
to
join
that
board
and
do.
K
You
see
those
other
entities
as
being
kind
of
like
an
addition
or
a
supplement
to
an
existing
board,
because
it
feels
like
the
community
end
of
it
feels
a
little
bit
kind
of
secondary
in
terms
of
priority
like
I,
would
I
would
assume
that
there
would
be
a
good
list,
a
robust
list
that
oit
already
had
having
been
familiar
with
the
importance
of
this
fund,
how
hard
people
fought
for
that.
There
was
a
lot
of
active
groups
at
the
table.
K
I
I
mean
we
actually
still
vision
additional
actually
government
membership
that
deal
with
some
of
the
entities
that
you're
talking
about
I'll.
Give
you
a
couple
more
examples.
The
the
mayor's
office
of
community,
empowerment
and
opportunity
is
very
interested.
We
also
see
a
educational
membership
any
of
the
universities
that
want
to
participate
if
they
have
a
representative
that
they
want
to
see
it
on
the
board.
We
actually
anticipate
that
happening
and
will
certainly
invite
them
any
foundation
membership,
a
couple
examples
of
foundations
within
the
city,
the
knight,
Foundation
Philadelphia
Foundation,
and
to
go
back
to
kinda.
I
K
That's
dominating
this
one
sample
is
like
if
we
are
trying
to
find
out
why
people
cannot
get
online
or
won't
get
online
or
don't
trust
the
online
experience,
then
it
might
help
to
have
some
of
those
folks
be
fully
represented,
and
that
doesn't
always
happen.
I
think
that
donors,
funders
and
others
have
found
ways
to
get
to
the
table.
They
have
great
access
to
a
lot
of
people
in
city
government.
It
seems
hard
to
imagine
that
there
needs
to
be
another
table
for
it.
It
doesn't
mean
that
I
would
exclude
them.
K
It
just
means
that
the
people
who
are
fighting
to
get
to
the
table,
especially
on
this
issue
of
Digital
Inclusion,
have
a
hard
time
doing
that
and
I
don't
want
to
create
another
round
table
where
they
are
incidental
or
a
tiny
subset,
and
that
communities,
especially
black
Latino
immigrant
communities,
language
access
groups
with
nine
language
access
needs,
aren't
going
to
be
fully
represented
in
the
biggest
effort
that
we
have
right.
Now,
though,
it's
you
know
not
for
the
fullest
amount,
but.
K
I
would
hope
that,
to
some
extent
this
becomes
a
very
fully
vetted.
You
know
kind
of
process
that
people
feel
confident
about
the
board.
It's
really
important
that
this
board
that's
been
using.
This
kind
of
money
is
seen
as
being
you
know,
fully
aware
of
conscious
up
connected
to
the
communities.
I've
been
fighting
so
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
end
the
digital
gap
right.
F
No
I
actually
agree
with
you
and
obviously
it's
the
people
on
the
board
that
are
going
to
make
it.
You
know
whether
it's
a
successful
or
not,
and
you
know
whether
the
money
is
spent
wisely,
so
it's
going
to
be
up
to
the
people
on
the
board.
So
really,
if
council
has
recommendations,
we
we
obviously
don't
know
as
much
as
you
do
about
maybe
the
the
types
of
groups
that
should
be
involved.
So
we
are
more
than
happy
to
include
whatever
groups
you
feel
should
be
part
of
this
board
and.
K
I
L
C
F
L
Because
I
really
believe
it's
a
critical
priority,
my
colleague
councilman
tom,
has
been
really
speaking
out
very
very
forcefully
and
eloquently
and
gunning
us
getting
this.
This
council
also
very
excited
about
a
ITC
tax
credits.
What
bothers
is
it
me
is
that
we
simply
that
we
can't
simply
search
our
own
revenue
tax
database
and
find
out
who
would
qualify
to
have
direct
contact
with
these
citizens.
I
know
other
cities
on
our
scale
of
these
capabilities,
and
we
are
still
working
with
the
database
started
in
the
1980s.
L
F
Exactly
right,
councilman
is,
is
that
the
problem
that
the
city
has
is
that
many
and
many
of
the
systems
are
really
old
and
they
do
date
back
to
the
80s
and
they
were
the
ones
that
were
targeted
the
most
for
a
capital
upgrades,
and
this
particular
one.
This
tax
delinquency
database
is
going
to
offer
for
the
first
time
let
the
city
mine
data,
do
a
lot
of
analytics
on
data
and
actually
be
able
to
target.
You
know
those
those
accounts
that
are
most
likely
to
pay
off.
F
L
F
No
I
agree
with
you.
It
is
and
I'm
going
to
use
that
word
because
the
there
are.
There
are
a
lot
of
projects
that
are
very
important
to
the
city,
but
there
are
projects
that
are
critical
to
the
city
and
many
of
these
projects
that
we
have
in
a
capital
funding.
These
are
things
they
really
have
to
get
done.
You
heard
your
Commissioner
Perry.
He
talked
about
eclipse.
F
My
Eclipse
is
like
absolutely
a
critical
system
for
them
to
get
up
and
running,
and
we're
working
hard
to
try
to
you
know
solve
some
of
his
problems
because
of
all
the
problems
with
L&I
he's
going
to
have
to
rely
very
much
on
technology
to
help
him
do
his
job.
So
there's
another
critical
system
and
they're,
not
the
only
one,
there's
a
bunch
of
them.
Mr.
D
Most
of
those
funds
are
actually
the
this
class
right
here
is
for
services.
We
used
to
use
these
funds
for
services.
We
actually
want
to
use
them
for
purchasing
supplies
and
equipment,
so
we're
working
with
the
Budget
Office
actually
get
this
money
moved
into
the
appropriate
classes
during
the
budget
process
here.
So
so.
E
Specific
railing
wcl,
specifically
that
bunny
is
actually
being
asked
to
move
down
in
the
past.
With
the
video
surveillance
system,
we
used
to
actually
contract
out
all
of
the
work
over
the
last
four
years.
We've
actually
brought
all
of
the
work
in-house,
so
we
don't
longer
need
services.
We
actually
need
the
cameras,
the
fiber,
which
is
to
actually
get
the
camera
set
up
and
running.
That's
really
why
the
request
for
the
transfer.
G
Okay,
it
makes
sense
it
would
be
helpful
instead
of
having
a
TBD
a
banana
miscellaneous
line
item
that
it's
itemized.
If
you
could
please,
you
know
present
to
the
chair
at
the
appropriate
time
doing
this
budget
process.
Just
you
know,
with
the
itemized
expenses
are,
it
would
be
helpful,
I
think
to
sure
a
lot
of
members
that
are,
you
know
going
thoroughly
through
this
budget
in
fy16
budget
hearings,
oit
mentioned
that
we're
focusing
it
on
a
new
procurement
system,
all
right.
How
has
this
system
been
developed
and
what
type
of
advanced
can
we
advancements?
D
F
F
The
this
is
going
to
make
it
much
easier
to
move.
As
you
know,
and
I
know,
it
can
testify
to
the
procurement
process
in
the
city's,
pretty
pretty
bulky
and
pretty
cumbersome.
It's
going
to
have
a
front
end
for
vendors
that
they
can
get
far
more
information.
Vendors
will
be
able
to
register
now
I'd
be
able
to
get
notifications
of
automatically
I
know
the
city's
look
into
a
reverse
bid,
auction
type
of
thing
to
get
lower
prices,
so
the
whole
technology
will
be
used
to
streamline
the
procurement
system.
F
Now,
which
is
you
know,
just
just
kind
of
a
very,
very
difficult
process,
so
it'll
be
used
for
services
supplies,
equipment,
Public,
Works
and
concessions
will
all
be
part
of
the
process.
That's
ongoing!
It's
about
a
million
three
and
we're
predicting
fall
of
16
for
that
to
be
finished.
Full
of
15.
Ok,.
G
Absolutely
yes,
I
think
it
was
several
members
and
we've
been
in
conversations
with
you
know
with
with
the
administration.
You
know
just
don't
know
our
interest
in
trying
to
streamline
things,
make
it
a
lot
more
accessible
user,
friendly,
much
more
competitive
in
dis
way,
the
efficiencies
and
the
advances.
You
know
that
we're
trying
to
achieve
or
actually
going
to
you
know,
come
to
fruition.
We.
F
G
Can
counsel
expect
from
Philadelphia
or
Philadelphians
expect
from
the
OIT
in
pushing
innovation,
the
innovation
agenda
with
the
city
and
the
only
reason
I
mention,
is
because
I'm
concerned
a
little
bit
that
you
know
it's
not
much
mentioned.
You
know
through
program,
programmatic
developments,
you
know,
especially
since,
over
the
last
several
years
you
know,
we've
been
nationally
recognized
and
locally
recognized
with
partners
in
the
private
tech,
community
and
community
groups
as
well
and
the
city
in
a
recruiting.
You
know
innovative
and
creative.
F
Yes,
councilman
is
andrew
bus
was
up
here
LOL
ago,
he's
in
charge
of
our
innovation
section,
and
he
mentioned
the
innovation
Academy
which,
which
we
we
used
to
farm
out
actually
and
we're
thinking
we're
working
with
my
boss
now
to
kind
of
bring
that
in
house,
because
we
pretty
much
know
what
was
taught
and
be
able
to
actually
spread
that
two
more
city
employees
for
for
cheaper
cost.
We
have
the
Innovation
Lab,
which
is
a
up
at
the
MSB
on
the
16th
floor.
F
If
you've
never
seen
it,
it's
a
pretty
modern,
high-tech
space
there,
where
we
would
do
some
of
the
training,
so
you
know
we're
trying
to,
and
just
so
you
realize
that
all
these
projects-
and
you
know
I-
have
this
two-page
list.
There's
a
120
million
dollars
of
projects
here
that
are
being
done.
Whenever
we
go
out
look
at
a
project,
we
look,
we
look
for
the
the
most.
E
G
F
Well,
we
we
actually
service
just
about
every
department
in
the
city,
of
course,
all
the
big
ones
and
even
the
little
ones,
and
they
come
to
us
for
four
systems.
Basically,
that's
what
they
always
come
to
us
for
everybody
wants
a
system
to
solve
a
problem
and
what's
been
nice
about
the
consolidation
effort
that
was
done
a
few
years
ago.
If
you
look
at
what
it
was,
the
city
was
10
years
ago,
everybody
was
kind
of
independent
going
on
their
own
way.
F
Now
we
have
competent
project
management,
which
we
use
to
hold
an
agency's
hand
from
inception
of
idea
all
we
through
the
finish
of
the
project,
so
we
even
hold
her
hand
through
contract
negotiations
through
RFP
building
through
requirements,
gathering
everything
and
and
I
think
that
I
have
a
lot
of
bright,
smart
people
working
for
me
and
believe
me,
we
look
for
every
innovative
way
to
make
things
easier
for
government
and
to
save
money
for
the
city.
Great
and.
E
G
To
produce
you
know
what
what
we're
supposed
to
be
wonderful,
not
just
the
back
end
but
Oh
front
end
for
for
the
citizens.
Alright,
so
I,
hope
and
encourage
that
that
continues
because
I
think
not
just
in
the
systems.
It's
the
people,
so
we
kind
of
you
know
keep
our
employees
engaged
a
part
of
its
great
for
morale
and
altima.
We
have
a
product
that
we
could
be
proud
of.
Chair
recognizes,
Councilwoman
blundell,
rentals,
Brown,
Thank,.
B
Been
a
long
day,
I
respect
that
I
was
trying
to
follow
the
line
of
questioning
offered
by
my
colleague,
councilman
councilwoman
gum
and
I'll,
be
quite
candid
with
you
and
letting
you
know
that
whenever
I
hit
the
word
diversity,
both
ears
perk
up
so
I
thought,
I
heard
and
I
tried
to
take
my
note.
You
say
we
struggle
with
that.
So
just
elaborate
on
what
that.
What
that
is.
B
F
Ok,
ok,
no
no
III
remember
is
that
what
what
the
council
was
talking
about
is
you
know
she
felt,
maybe
that
I
know
she's
gone
now,
but
you
know
I
know
she
felt
that
maybe
we
didn't
have
representation
representation
on
the
board.
That
was
maybe
inclusive
of
maybe
all
the
groups
in
the
city
yeah
the
end
up
and
the
problem
I
think
we
have
in
OIT
is
we
know
a
lot
of
the
technical
players.
Okay,.
B
F
We
know
the
comcast
of
the
world
and
the
80s
and
the
verizons.
That's
what
we
deal
with
every
day
right,
it's
the
it's,
the
it's
the
groups
that
maybe
you
know
you
are
better.
You
know
aware
of
that.
We
are
not
that
we
struggle
with.
So
that's
why
I
said
that
if
council,
you
know
can
can
give
us
an
idea
of
groups
that
might
be
better
representative
of
the
board,
you
know
we
would
glad
to
be
cuz.
That's
where
we
struggle.
We
just
don't
know
everyone
out
there
that
maybe
you
do
ok.
B
F
B
F
It
requires
us
to
give
a
conceptual
idea
to
comcast
as
to
what
a
digital
Lions
board
means,
so
it
really
really
is
very
fuzzy
as
to
what
it
beads.
So
what
we
did
is
we
wrote
up
a
kind
of
a
concept
that
it
would
be
a
board
that
would
be
created
to
decide
how
the
money
would
be
spent
and
the
money
is
a
half
a
million
dollars
from
comcast
and
as
to
what
it's
to
be
spent
on
again,
a
very
fuzzy.
It
talks
about
Digital
Inclusion,
whatever
that
means.
F
Right
exactly
exactly
as
to
what
it
means.
So
what
would
what
we
were
saying
is
is
there's
there's
another
provision
here
that
we
were
very
concerned
about
is
that
half
a
million
dollars
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money,
but
you
know
that
that
could
go
in
a
heartbeat.
You
know
so
from
our
point.
We
were
very
anxious
to
make
sure
that
their
money
keeps
coming
in.
So
we
were
looking
more
like
who
can
give
us
money
and
maybe
not
as
much
about
you
know.
You
know.
Maybe
your
concerns.
That's.
F
F
B
G
Over
point
of
information,
if
I'm
a
Councilwoman,
so
it
is
a
$500,000
commitment
from
comcast
to
start
and
seed,
a
digital
Alliance
re,
which
is
to
reach
out
whatever
the
makeup
of
the
board,
shall
be
like
to
to
reach
out
to
the
community.
Sorry
and
best,
you
know,
partner
with
with
our
libraries
partner
with
Urban
Affairs
partner
with
you
know,
all
these
other
groups
that
are
in
the
city,
philadelphia
that
are
dealing
with
lachey
partnering,
with
Internet
Essentials,
trying
to
bridge
at
digital
divide.
But
this
fund
is
specifically
to
address
the
digital
literacy
or.
C
G
Lack
of
in
the
city
philadelphia
and
it's
a
one-time,
seed
and
I-
think
it's
oh
I.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
just
from
what
I
understand
it,
they
think
that
you
know
they.
It
should
be
groped,
they
should
grow.
There
should
be
a
fundraising
component
to
it,
we're
not
only
it
should
it
start
at
500,000.
It
should
get
up
to
five
million
or
three
million
dollars
with
the
tech
community.
So
that's
a
verizon.
B
G
Mean
it's
that's
why
when
they
talk
about
you,
no
business
being
a
part
of
it
or
but
then
you
know,
proposals
I'm
sure
will
be
put
in
front
of
them
on
where
you
know
who
receives
grants
and
what
communities
and
why
and
what
are
they
going
to
do
and
things
I
get
you
know
so
so
council
is,
is
definitely
going
to
be
a
part
of
this
conversation
as
we
move
forward
for
for
that
fund.
I.
B
B
G
G
And
that's
not
a
part
of
it.
Just
you
know,
for
the
record.
That
is
not
part
of
the
franchiser
hear
me.
This
is
outside
the
scope
and,
aside
and
aside
letter
commitment
to
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
as
you
know,
comcast
being
a
partner
with
the
city.
You
know,
as
we
went
through,
that
rolling
process
for
18
months
more
intense
over
the
last
six
months
and
it
included
all
our
partners
for
mobile
media
from
Philly
came
and
a
lot
of
urban
fairs
coalition.
G
B
B
I
appreciate
that
so
folks
running
stem
programs,
especially
stem
programs
for
girls.
They
need
one
of
my
recommendations
will
be
the
debt
there
on
that
on
that
board,
because
we
know
girls
lag
far
behind
when
it
comes
to
science,
technology,
engineering
and
math,
and
that's
an
opportunity
where
we
can
move
towards
trying
to
equalize
a
level
that
playing
field
so
that
girls
have
a
chance
to
move
into
that
that
that
part
of
the
world
I,
so
it
silly
cam
for
sure
given
who
they
are,
what
they
do
and
who
they
represent.
G
G
K
It
can't
be
a
token
board.
It's
got
to
be
a
truly
representative
board
in
order
for
us
to
truly
be
serious,
about
ending
the
you
know,
addressing
digital
literacy
and,
most
importantly,
ending
the
gap
for
our
most
vulnerable
communities.
Who
frequently
don't
do
that,
and
I
guess
I'm
not
sure
that
Google
needs
another
place
at
the
table.
I'm
not
sure
that
you
know
some
of
our
other
biggest
entities
who
are
already
here
with
us,
don't
necessarily
need
to
direct
the
the
direction
of
the
funds.
K
We
need
a
big
idea
about
how
to
think
about
the
gap
that
we
have
in
our
city
and
in
our
country
about
a
digital
access
in
general,
and
we
want
those
folks
to
be
on
this
historic
board.
I
think
it'll
be
an
important
one.
I
encourage
oh
I
teen,
not
just
to
come
to
City
Council
for
individualized
recommendations,
but
to
think
and
invest
very
broadly
in
overall,
a
commitment
to
inclusion
and
vulnerable
communities
and
OIT
I.
K
Think
that
is
a
fundamental
responsibility
of
your
department
that
I
don't
want
it
to
be
just
rooted,
int
and
techies,
and-
and
you
know,
kind
of
people
who
have
technical
knowledge,
but
don't
understand
that
the
whole
purpose
of
this
technology
is
to
bring
us
a
better
life
to
bring
us
a
more
equitable
life
and
especially
to
help
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
in
our
city.
Low-Income
English,
language
learners
are
seniors
young
people
in
our
city
that
they
have
to
be
brought
into
this,
and
so
it
isn't
just
a
conversation
about
the
digital
Alliance
fund.
K
G
Well
put
and
thank
you
I
unless
there
or
any
other
questions
from
any
members
that
happened
to
be
here
at
this
time.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
beer
now,
I
want
to
say
a
special
thanks
to
our
court
reporter,
who
has
stayed
it
wanted
to
extend
its
I'm.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
for
your
patience
there
being
none.
The
committee
will
stand
in
recess
until
6
p.m.
today.
