IS IMMEDIATELY  UPON ADOPTION. WHEN I GO TO  THE COMMITTEE. THAT WE'RE  GOING TO BE ADOPTING NEXT THAT  EFFECTIVE DATE IS ONLY IF  TOMORROW'S REFERENDUM PASSED.

THIS IS A BIG ONE TARGETED RE  SUBMISSIONS NO LONGER DO THEY  HAVE TO COMPLETELY REDO THEIR  PLAN SETS BRING THEM TO US.  BUT IF THERE'S ONE PAGE 200  PAGE PLAN SET THEY ONLY HAVE  TO SUBMIT THAT ONE PAGE. IF  THAT'S THE ONLY PAGE THAT WAS  CHANGER THAT NEED A REVISION  ON IT THAT'S THE ONLY PAGE  THEY HAVE TO RESUBMIT THAT'S A  HUGE TIME SAVER. SO THERE  REALLY ARE EXCITED ABOUT THAT.  KEEPS US FROM HAVING TO IT. SO  EVERY PAGE TO SEE WHAT'S  CHANGED ONLY THING THAT  CHANGES THAT ONE PAGE AND IT  WILL BE SLIPPED INTO THE  ELECTRONIC FILE. THIS  SATISFIES A. A COUPLE OF  DIFFERENT THINGS WITH OUR  STRATEGIC THE CITY STRATEGIC  PLAN. IT IT DRIVES PROGRESS IN  IN KEY PRIORITIES OF THE  ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND  GROWTH MANAGEMENT. THE SAINTS  ARE CONTRACTORS ARE BUILDERS  OR HOMEOWNERS MONEY AND TIME  AND THOSE ARE. MONEY AND TIME  MANY ITS TIME IN THE  DEVELOPMENT WORLD. SO IF WE  CAN SAY JUST TIME ON THE  BUILDERS AND THAT'S A WIN.  THAT SAVES THEM MONEY, BUT NOW  WE'RE ALSO SAVING THEM HARD  COSTS NOT JUST TIME. THOSE  THOSE 2 THINGS WILL REALLY  HELP NORTH PORT. MOVE FORWARD  AND DEVELOPMENT. ALSO GOOD  GOVERNANCE. THIS IS USING OUR  RESOURCES IN THE MOST  EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE  MANNER. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE FAR  TOO MANY PEOPLE SPENDING FAR  TOO MANY HOURS. CHECKING WORK  CHECKING WORK MANUALLY  ENTERING DATA RECALCULATING  FEES. SHUFFLING PAPER FROM  AREA ONE GUEST ONE CITY  BUILDING TO ANOTHER. THIS PUTS  A STOP TO ALL OF THAT SO THAT  THOSE RESOURCES CAN NOW THE  FOCUS OF WHAT REALLY NEED THEM  TO BE DOING. AND ALSO HELPS US  TO ENSURE THE IMPLEMENTATION  OF OUR UNIFIED LAND  DEVELOPMENT IS PROPERLY. TOO  MANY TIMES WHEN EVERYTHING IS  BEING DONE MANUALLY AND YOU'RE  REVIEWING PAPER OR AND THERE  ARE. NO ELECTRONIC CHECKLIST  THINGS GET MISSED WHEN YOU  REVIEW AS MANY PLANS AS WE DO.  EVERY DAY EVERY MONTH EVERY  YEAR. AND PEOPLE TRYING TO  MANAGE ALL OF THESE CHECKLIST  THINGS GET MISSED AND THIS  WILL HELP TO ENSURE THAT ALL  THE PLANS THAT WE MEETING OUR  BUDGET HIM CLIENTS GOALS. AND  WE HAVE THE PROPER DEVELOPMENT  OVERSIGHT THROUGH THE PROCESS.  THAT'S THE END OF OUR  PRESENTATION THIS WAS A VERY  HIGH LEVEL WE DIDN'T WANT TO  GET INTO THE WEEDS OF EVERY  SCREEN WITH YOU. WE HAVE OUR  PROJECT TEAM HERE ARE SPECIFIC  QUESTIONS THAT WE CAN ANSWER.  BUT WE WERE JUST VERY EXCITED  TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS  OVERVIEW FOR YOU I  CONFIRMATION OF OUR GO LIVE  DATE DECEMBER 9TH. I WILL  CAUTION YOU THAT WE WE'LL OUR  OUR BUILDING. PEOPLE AND  ZONING PERMITTING PEOPLE WILL  NEED COUNTER WANT TO BE SHUT  DOWN OR ABOUT OR IS IT 3 DAYS,  WE KNOW THAT TO 3 DAYS OR STAR  VENDOR TOLD US WE WOULD HAVE  TO BE SHUT DOWN FOR ABOUT A  WEEK AND I SAID THAT'S NOT  GOING TO HAPPEN. SO LET'S  LET'S NARROW THAT DOWN A BIT  WE'VE GOT IT DOWN TO 3 DAYS.  OUR TEAM AND OUR CONTRACTORS  WILL BE WORKING OVER A WEEKEND  IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT WE  ONLY NEED 3 TO BE CLOSED. AND  WE ARE COMMUNICATING WITH ALL  OF CONTRACTORS BUILDERS  EVERYBODY WE'VE GOT ON WE'LL  BE PUTTING OUT A PUBLIC  WORKING WITH COMMUNICATIONS TO  ENSURE THAT EVERYBODY GETS  PLENTY OF NOTICE, LOTS OF  SIGNAGE WILL BE GOING BUT  WE'RE RIGHT AROUND THAT 9 DAY  WE WILL BE GOING LIVE ON THAT  9 DAY OUR COUNTER WILL BE  CLOSED THAT DAY THAT WE THE  LAST BECAUSE. SO ONE OF THE  THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING. IN  THE SPIRIT OF EFFICIENCY  YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE THAT  WE'VE BEEN GRADUALLY  REMODELING THE BUILDING AREA  DOWNSTAIRS. AND WE HAD  SCHEDULED TO HAVE OUR BUILDING  PERMIT COUNTER. REMODEL. IT  GOT CANCELED BECAUSE OF  HURRICANE THAT MILTON MILTON.  SO WE HAD TO RESCHEDULE IT  WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT  RESCHEDULING DATES I SAID YOU  KNOW WHAT. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT  CONSTRUCTION CREWS CONTRACTORS  COULD COME IN AND DO THE  REMODELING AT THE SAME TIME  THAT OUR BUILDING PERMIT  COUNTER HAS TO BE SHUT DOWN OR  THE ACELA CONVERSION. SO THAT  WE'RE NOT HAVING TO BE SHUT  DOWN TWICE AND FORTUNATELY OUR  OUR PUBLIC WORKS TEAM WAS  GREAT THEY WERE ABLE TO GET  THAT SCHEDULE FOR US. SO ARE  WE MODELING WILL BE HAPPENING  DURING THOSE SAME DAYS AND WE  WILL GETTING BACK UP WITH THE  NEW BUILDING PERMIT COUNTER IN  THE FRONT AREA IN THE BUILDING  DIVISION ON THAT TUESDAY ON  HAVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS  FOR THE SIDE. ALL RIGHT,  COMMISSIONER MCDOWELL. WOW A  LONG TIME COMING.  ♪ >> APPRECIATE YOUR  PRESENTATION, I'M GOING TO  MAKE ONE SMALL CORRECTION. THE  COMMISSION BACK IN 2017 2018  DID WANT TO HAVE A MINE  PERMITTING AND WE DID HAVE A  CONTRACT WITH AT T WORD THAT  WE'RE NOT GOING TO MENTION AND  IT ALL FELL APART AND I'M GLAD  THAT WE GOT TO AND THAT THIS  MOVE FORWARD CONGRATULATIONS  TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR  MAKING THAT HAPPEN, I KNOW HOW  HARD IT. IT IS.  >> BASED ON YOUR PRESENTATION  PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS AND EVEN  THE T WORD DISCUSSIONS WHEN WE  WERE TRYING TO GET THAT ONE  IMPLEMENTED. SO HATS OFF TO  YOU GUYS KUDOS PROPS TO YOUR  WHOLE MANAGEMENT TEAM AND I'M  REALLY GRATEFUL. WE'RE NOT  SHUTTING DOWN TWICE SO CLOSE  TOGETHER. FOR ACELA AND  REMODEL THE JOB. COUPLE LITTLE  QUESTIONS THAT I DO HAVE. YOU  TALKED ABOUT USER TESTING. AND  I AM SURE THAT YOUR STAFF IS  PART OF THAT USER TESTING.  THEY'RE GETTING VERY FAMILIAR  WITH THE PROCESS. BUILDERS AND  DEVELOPERS ARE PART OF THAT  PROCESS WHAT ABOUT THE AVERAGE  JOE CITIZEN WHO DOES NOT DO  PERMITTING BUT MAYBE WANTS  RIGHT EVERY 5 YEARS.  >> BUT.  >> HOW THEY GOING TO BE ABLE  TO GET IN AND DO THAT USER  TEST.  >> SO FORTUNATELY THE ACELA  PROGRAM IS PRETTY INTO IT I  WITH IT BEFORE IN A COUPLE  DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS.  >> AND THERE ARE USER.  >> VIDEOS AND MANUALS THAT ARE  AVAILABLE THAT WILL HAVE A FOR  PEOPLE TO USE. I CAN TELL YOU  AS SOMEONE WHO IS EXTREMELY  TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGED. I DO  NOT LIKE NEW LEARNING NEW NEW  TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS ALL DO IT  WOULD HAVE TO. BUT IT IS VERY  EASY AND VERY INTUITIVE.  >> TO GO TO THE LAKE AND 2 SET  UP YOUR ACCOUNT AND GOING IN  AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO  PROCESSING. WHEN I HAD THIS.  SYSTEM PREVIOUSLY. WE HAD A  VERY SMOOTH TRANSITION WITH  OUR CUSTOMERS WITH OUR  RESIDENT CUSTOMER BEING ABLE  TO GO IN AND SET THEIR COUNTS.  THAT RAIN HAS A MOTTO HAS BEEN  INTEGRAL SHE'S BEEN PART OF  OUR TEAM SHE HAS I THINK SOME  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT  THE TESTING. AND HOW THIS HOW  THE INFORMATION THAT HAVE  AVAILABLE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS,  GOOD MORNING COMMISSION  MEETING CITY MANAGER AT  TRAINER MODEL FOR THE RECORD  DEVELOPMENT SERVICES  DEPARTMENT.  >> SO IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS  WHEN WE GO LIVE, WE WILL HAVE  A STATION SET UP.  >> AT THE BUILDING DIVISION  AND THAT THE PLANNING  DIVISION. SO WHEN WE HAVE  CUSTOMERS COME IN AND WALK INS  HOMEOWNERS EVEN WHETHER IT'S A  CONTRACTOR DEVELOPER  HOMEOWNER, WHOMEVER IT IS A  NEW USER. WE WILL HAVE AN AREA  WHERE THEY WILL BE ABLE WE CAN  WALK THEM THROUGH AND ACTUALLY  SHOW THEM HOW TO APPLY RIGHT  THERE ONLINE BUT THEY CAN DO  IT IN THE DEPARTMENT WITH  ASSISTANCE. SO WE'RE GOING TO  HAVE A COMPUTER AREA SET UP  FOR THAT. AND WE'RE ALSO GOING  TO HOST A PUBLIC MEETING ON  NOVEMBER, 18. FOR NEW USERS AS  WELL TO COME IN WE'LL SHOW  THEM HOW TO SET UP AN ACCOUNT  WHEN SO THEY'LL HAVE KNOW BE A  TUTORIAL THAT WILL TAPED. NOW  WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE  WEBSITE AS AND TESS OKAY, JUST  >> A LITTLE BIT FURTHER BASED  ON WHAT YOU BOTH SAID NEW USER  IF YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE  THAT STATION SET UP FOR A FEW  MONTHS. WHAT ABOUT THE POOR  JOE THAT DOESN'T USE.  PERMITTING EXCEPT FOR ONCE  EVERY 5 YEARS BUT WON'T BE  HERE FOR YOUR USER STATION  WELL I THINK THAT I THINK WILL  KIND OF PLAY IT BY EAR AND SEE  HOW WELL YOU KNOW HOW LONG WE  NEED TO CONTINUE THAT SERVICE  AND OF COURSE WE ALWAYS HAVE  STAFF.  >> YOU KNOW THERE THAT ARE  ALWAYS WILLING AND HELP TO SO,  BUT WE'LL JUST KIND OF SEE HOW  IT GOES AND WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE  THAT MOM AND POP THAT ARE  GOING COMMUTE MIGHT BE THERE.  ONE PERMIT OF THEIR WHOLE  LIFETIME. YOU KNOW, AND WE'RE  CERTAINLY THERE TO WALK THEM  THROUGH THAT PROCESS SO IS IT  A FAIR STATEMENT TO SAY THAT.  >> ONLY ONLINE PERMITTING  FROM.  >> DECEMBER 9TH GOING FORWARD  PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO  COME IN WITH UP. YOU KNOW  EMERGENCY HOW WATER HEATER TO  GET A PERMIT AFTER FACT KIND  OF FROM AND HOW WILL THOSE  LOOK ONLY SO THEY CAN STILL  COMING AND WE WILL WE WILL SIT  DOWN WITH THEM AND ENTER  EVERYTHING ONLINE.  >> WE'RE NO LONGER GOING TO BE  DEALING WITH PAPER  APPLICATIONS SHUFFLING FROM  ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER.  PERMIT INFORMATION THAT  APPLICATION INFORMATION WILL  BE ENTERED ON LINE AND THEY  WILL HELP THEM PUSH THE BUTTON  TO SUBMIT THAT HERE IN THE  OFFICE ONLINE. SO. THEY WILL  NOT BE ABLE TO JUST HAND US A  PIECE OF PAPER LEAVE WE WILL  SIT DOWN WITH THEM AND SHOW  THEM AND WALK THEM THROUGH IT  AND WE WILL. ENTER THAT DATA  INTO THE SYSTEM. BUT IT WILL  BE ONLINE.  >> VIRTUAL INSPECTIONS IS THAT  PART OF ANY OF DO WE DO  VIRTUAL INSPECTIONS BECAUSE I  KNOW AT ONE POINT WE DID.  THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN HE'S NO  LONGER WITH THE CITY TO IF I  CAN REMEMBER HIS NAME. KIDS  STARTED DOING ONLINE  PERMITTING AND I'M CURIOUS IF  THAT STILL.  >> SO OUR OUR INSPECTIONS  COMPLY WITH STATE. POUNDS A  LOT OF CHANGED OVER THE YEARS  WITH FLORIDA BUILDING CODE.  ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE  REQUIRED TO DO OUR PARTY  INSPECTIONS IF SOMEONE WANTS  TO USE THIRD-PARTY  INSPECTIONS. THE OTHER THING  IS SOME INSPECTIONS ARE  THROUGH PARTIES BY DRONE  INSPECTIONS. BUT ALSO. IF WE  IF A CONTRACTOR IS IS LICENSED  IN FLORIDA. THERE'S AN  AFFIDAVIT PROCESS WHERE THEY  CAN SIGN AN AFFIDAVIT SAYING  THAT THE WORK HAS BEEN  COMPLETED. ACCORDING TO. THE  FLORIDA BUILDING CODE  REQUIREMENTS. THAT'S ALL THAT  IS NEEDED THE CITY SIMPLY HAS  TO ENSURE THAT THAT CONTRACTOR  SIGNED STATEMENT. AND THAT  SORT ALMOST TAKES THE PLACE OF  VIRTUAL INSPECTIONS. YOU CAN  DO A VIRTUAL PONDING  INSPECTION. IT'S IT'S REAL  HARD FOR PLUMBER TO MEAN OTHER  THAN PHOTOS. WHICH. UNDER THE  AFFIDAVIT PROCESS THEY CAN DO.  BUT SOME CONTRACTOR SO WANT  THE INSPECTORS TO DO THAT WAS  BUT WE DO GET A LOT OF  ESPECIALLY AFTER EMERGENCIES  LIKE A HURRICANE WE GET A LOT  OF THAT DAY BUT SOME ROUTES  AND THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO  ACCEPT AFFIDAVIT SAYS  AFFIRMATION WORK HAS  >> WELL YOU CAN IMAGINE THE  RED FLAGS THAT ARE POPPED INTO  TRUST WE HAVE THEM AS THERE  ABSOLUTELY VALID CONCERNS THAT  STATE LAW REQUIRES US TO  ACCEPT AND I CAN'T TELL YOU  HOW MANY TIMES I'VE HAD SOME  CONVERSATIONS, ESPECIALLY  AFTER IAN WITH ALL OF THE ROOF  DAMAGE THAT WE HAD.  >> TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO  CUSTOMERS WE HAVE NO CHOICE  THEY'RE CONTRACTOR, THE H M'S  SUBMITTED AN AFFIDAVIT TO THE  CITY AND WE'RE REQUIRED BY  STATE LAW TO ACCEPT THAT  AFFIDAVIT AND IF THERE ARE  PROBLEMS WITH WORKMANSHIP THE  ONLY RECOURSE IS FOR THAT. I  DON'T WANT AWESOME THING  AGAINST THAT CONTRACT.  >> YOUR GREAT THANK YOU A I  HOPE I HOPE THE LITTLE HICCUPS  SO FEW AND BETWEEN THEY'RE NOT  EVEN A HICCUP THERE WILL BE  SOME THERE ALWAYS ARE I'VE  BEEN THROUGH THIS I THINK THIS  IS MY 5TH TIME NOW TO GO  THROUGH A CONVERSION ON  PERMITTING.  >> PROCESS AND IT'S ALWAYS  FUN. BUT THERE WILL BE AND  WE'LL DEAL STATES KNOWN AS THE  CUP. OKAY COMMISSIONER IS THAT  THAT SAYING THAT OKAY  COMMISSIONER LANGDON.  >> THANK YOU MADAM MAYOR.  >> I ALSO I'M SO DELIGHTED TO  SAY THAT PERMITTING HAS BEEN A  MAJOR PAIN POINT AND THE  DEVELOPER CIDER BUILDER SIDE  AND RESIDENTS SIDE IS A GROSS  UNDERSTATEMENT. SO I I'M  REALLY HAPPY AND AND I SEE THE  2 PIECES. WE NOW HAVE A ULDC  THAT MAKE SENSE AND DOESN'T  CONFLICT ITSELF.  >> HOPEFULLY PROBABLY FIND  INMATES BUT THERE MAY BE SOME  MINOR THINGS BUT THERE ALWAYS  ARE YEAH SO ALL OF THAT HAS  BEEN CLEANED UP AND THAT THE  PROCESS IS AUTOMATED I'M  EXPECTING WONDERFUL THINGS TO  COME OUT OF THIS JUST A COUPLE  QUICK QUESTIONS HAVE HAVE WE  INCLUDED ANY MEMBERS OF THE  GENERAL PUBLIC OR ANY BUILDERS  TO TEST THE SYSTEM WITH  >> AS  >> WE GO INTO BUILDER TESTING  THAT'S COMING UP IS IT YES SO  WE'RE THAT AS USER TESTING  SIGHTING IN THE MIDDLE OF OF  THE INTERNAL USER TESTING  HIGHLIGHT. WE DO THAT FIRST TO  ENSURE THAT WE CAN GET ALL THE  BUGS OUT OF THAT THAT WE CAN  FIND PEOPLE WHO ARE USING IT  EVERY DAY AND THEN WE GO TO  THE OUTSIDE AND HAVE TO BUILD  SO THAT'S AN EXCELLENT WHEN DO  YOU EXPECT THAT TO STARTING  LATER THIS MONTH, OKAY, GREAT.  >> AT AT A VERY HIGH ROUGH  LEVEL.  >> I WHAT PERCENT. WELL THIS  AUTOMATION SHORTENED THAT TIP  A CALL. WE LOOKING AT.  >> RIGHT I MEAN IT'S IT'S NOT  UNCOMMON RIGHT NOW PERMITS TO  TAKE THE LEGAL IN A LOT OF  AMOUNT OF TIME SIMPLY BECAUSE  IT'S WHICH TYPICALLY 30 DAYS  ON A SINGLE FAMILY HOME IF  THERE ARE NO COMMENTS. THERE  ARE NEVER KNOW VERY RARE THAT  >> I WOULD SAY THE BARGE  BUILDERS THAT WE HAVE AND AND  LONG PARK PLANTATION, THOSE  AREAS. YOU KNOW WHEN WE GET  THE LARGE NATIONAL HOME  BUILDERS THEY PRETTY MUCH HAVE  THEIR PROCESS TALE THAT. OUR  INDIVIDUAL HOME BUILDERS  ANYWHERE THAT WE DON'T HAVE  COMMENT.  >> SO CAN TYPICALLY TAKE UP  THE ENTIRE. LEGALLY A LAB TIME  FRAME AND SOMETIMES IT GOES ON  FOR A LOT OF TIME TO EVER  BECAUSE WE ARE WAITING ON  COMMENTS TO COME BACK. AND  THAT'S LEGALLY ACCEPTABLE. BUT  IT'S NOT. REALLY ACCEPTABLE  FROM OF YOU KNOW BUSINESS  STANDPOINT RIGHT SO WE WANT TO  GET THOSE NUMBERS DOWN AS MUCH  AS POSSIBLE A PERCENTAGE I  WOULD BE. I WOULD BE AFRAID TO  GIVE YOU A TIME PERIOD. I  THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT  WE'RE OBVIOUSLY WE TRACK THAT  AND WE WILL BE TRACKING  ESPECIALLY A CLOSELY OVER THE  NEXT. TO SEE WHAT PERCENTAGE  THAT DOES COME DOWN. BUT  BECAUSE WE CAN DO THINGS WE  CAN DO THESE REVIEWS  CONCURRENTLY DIGITALLY NOW. I  WOULD ANTICIPATE IF WE DON'T  TAKE AT LEAST A WEEK OFF OF A  NORMAL TIME 5 HEALTHY  SURPRISED BECAUSE WE'RE NO  LONGER SHUFFLING THEM FROM  ONE. DIVISION TO ANOTHER FROM  ONE DEPARTMENT TO ANOTHER AND  HAVING TO WAIT. ON. ONE  DISCIPLINE TO SIGN OFF ON IT  BEFORE COMMUTE TO ANOTHER SO.  YOU KNOW I WON'T BE SURPRISED  AT IF WE CAN SHOW THAT AND I  HOPE IS IN THE LONG RUN ONCE  EVERYBODY IS COMPLETELY USED  TO THE SYSTEM AND IT BECOMES  ROUTINE. TO SHAVE EVEN MORE  YOU KNOW. A LOT OF TIMES ONCE  ONCE YOU CAN GET IT DOWN TO  WHERE. COMMENTS ARE STANDARD.  BUILDERS ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH  THE PROCESS, THEY'RE FAMILIAR  WITH THE CAUSE.  >> SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES CAN  TURN AROUND VERY QUICKLY AT  THAT MATTER OF DAYS.  SOMETIMES.  >> OKAY, THANK YOU FOR  RELATED.  >> HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT ARE  YOU CONSIDERING IMPLEMENTING  SORT OF SERVICE LEVEL  OBJECTIVES LIKE ANY. SNOW AND  A STAND IN THE WHOLE PROCESS  ARE ALSO DEPENDENT ON THE  CUSTOMER RESPONDING REMOVING  THAT I YOU THINKING ABOUT  SETTING ANY TARGETS WE ARE  LEVEL OBJECTIVES FOR OUR PIECE  OF THE PROCESS WE ARE AND  THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE  TALKED WITH. REVISING OUR  DASHBOARD.  >> EXPECTATIONS THAT WAS GOING  TO BE MY IT'S A. GOING FROM  THE KIND OF SYSTEM THAT WE HAD  WHICH IS ONE STEP ABOVE  CHISELED IN STONE 2. THIS. YOU  IT'S HARD TO COMPARE THE 2  SYSTEMS SO I THINK BUT I WOULD  REALLY LIKE TO SEE OUR TEAM DO  IS STUDY IT FOR THE NEXT 6 TO  12 MONTHS SO NEXT YEAR. WHEN  WE ARE LOOKING AT. REVISING  THE DASHBOARD METRICS WE HAVE  SOME IDEAS OF THOSE TARGETS.  WE HAVE SOME BECAUSE WE YOU  KNOW SOME OF US DONE THIS  BEFORE WEEK WE'VE SEEN THE  CHANGES THAT OCCUR. AND SO  WE'VE WE'VE STARTED BUILDING  IN SOME OF THOSE METRICS BUT I  THINK WITHIN THE NEXT 6 TO 12  MONTHS. WE WILL BE ABLE TO  CRAFT SOME TARGETED METRICS  THAT REALLY SPEAK MORE TO THE  CHANGES THAT WE'RE SEEING AS A  RESULT OF THE SYSTEM. AND AND  THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE SEE  GOING FROM. BUT IN A QUITE A  SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE TO THIS  NEW SYSTEM.  >> THAT'S TERRIFIC I'M REALLY  SO HAPPY ABOUT WE ARE AND  SYSTEM SAW ALL KINDS OF  PROBLEMS, THANK SO MUCH. ALL  RIGHT. VICE MAYOR.  >> WELL I CALL MY FELLOW  COMMISSIONERS I MEAN. IT'S  WONDERFUL TO FINALLY BRING THE  MODERN AGE. SO I'M SURE  EVERYONE WILL BE DELIGHTED  WITH IT AS THAT GET WRINKLED  OUT YOU SPOKE TO FISHING  SEASON, THE AND I THINK THERE  WILL BE MANY MANY MANY  EFFICIENCY 7 LIKE YOU SAY IT'S  GOING FROM THE STONE AGE TO  MODERN TIMES I THINK IT WILL  BE MUCH APPRECIATED BY  EVERYBODY. CAN YOU SPEAK A  LITTLE HAVE IT. IS THERE ANY  FEELING FOR WHERE WE MAY SEE  COST SAVINGS OR SHE REDUCTIONS  FOR OUR CUSTOMERS OR OUR  CITIZENS DOWN ROAD. MONTHS OLD  THE SHAKES OUT WERE CALLED  WOMAN ON AN EVEN KILOMETER  WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ABILITY  TO REDUCE OUR BODY CAN OR ARE  EMPLOYED COUNT. AND AND THE  CORRESPONDING SHE STRUCTURES  THAT WE CHARGE BECAUSE  TOGETHER YOUR TIME TEARS TO  RECOUP OUR COURSE TYPICALLY  AND OTHER SAVINGS THEIR 4  CUSTOMERS WELL.  >> I WILL SAY THAT IT'S A  LITTLE EARLY TO KNOW EITHER OF  THOSE THINGS IN PREVIOUS  JURISDICTIONS THAT I'VE WORKED  IN THAT HAVE GRANTS. OVER TO  THESE SYSTEMS. RATHER THAN A  REDUCTION OF. RESOURCES HUMAN  RESOURCES. YOU TYPICALLY SEE A  SHIFTING OF RESOURCES. SO I  WILL SAY THERE ARE A LOT OF  THINGS. EVERY DIVISION THAT WE  HAVE. THAT ARE BUT ON THE  BURNER. TAKE A LONG TIME TO  COME TO FRUITION SIMPLY  BECAUSE WE'RE STRETCHED AND SO  ALL OF YOUR RESOURCES, YOUR  YOUR PEOPLE RESOURCES GET. I  WENT ON TO WHATEVER YOU KNOW  CAUSING THE MOST FIRE AT THE  MOMENT. ONCE. SYSTEMS. GIVE  YOU SOME EFFICIENCIES YOU'RE  ABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE  LONG-STANDING THINGS THAT HAVE  LINGERING OUT THERE FOR EVER.  IT'S NOT A REDUCTION OF PEOPLE  IT'S SHIFTING THEM TO THOSE OF  THEIR PRIORITIES. I WILL TELL  YOU THIS SYSTEM OR IN NEED  ELECTRONIC SYSTEM LIKE THIS IS  EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO  MAINTAIN NOT JUST EXPENSIVE  TOO SET UP. OUR ONGOING  UPGRADE AND MAINTENANCE FEES  ON AN ANNUAL BASIS ARE  SIGNIFICANT. AND. I I DO NOT  SEE A REDUCTION IN FEES  BECAUSE OF THAT THEY'RE STILL  GOING TO BE. THE COST TO  MAINTAIN THIS SYSTEM IS  GREATER THAN THE COST ME 10  YEAR OLD SYSTEM. BECAUSE IT.  IT'S BETTER IT DOES MORE. IT  PROVIDES A LOT MORE USAGE FOR  US AND FOR OUR CUSTOMERS BUT  NOW THEY'RE SORT OF GOING TO  GET WHAT THEY ARE PAYING THAT  I JUST WANT REALISTIC  EXPECTATIONS. I DON'T WANT  PEOPLE'S PERCEPTIONS TO NOW  WITH GREATER SYSTEM SO THEY  CAN SAVE BODIES. WE CAN SAY  FEES IT SHOULD BE A LOT  CHEAPER.  >> YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR  WHAT I CAN GET WHAT YOU PAY  FOR.  >> THIS SYSTEM IS MUCH MORE  EXPENSIVE THAT FORMER SYSTEM  IN FACT WE HAD TO INCREASE THE  NUMBER OF BODIES TO  MAINTAINING THIS SYSTEM. THAT  THE COMMISSION APPROVED  POSITIONS FOR US TO BE ABLE  TO. NOT ONLY IMPLEMENT THIS  SYSTEM. BUT MAINTAIN IT OVER  THE LONG TERM WE WILL BE USING  EVERY HOUR OF THOSE THAT THOSE  BODIES PROVIDE IN ORDER TO  ENSURE THAT THE SYSTEM STAYS  UP AND RUNNING WORKING AT ITS  HIGHEST EFFICIENCY, BUT WE  IT'S IT'S JUST GOING TO HELP  LAY INTO MAKING NORTH PORT  THAT MUCH MORE ATTRACTIVE  PLACE TO DO BUSINESS AND AN  EASIER PLACE TO BUSINESS NOT  JUST FOR LARGE DEVELOPERS  BUSINESSES BUT FOR.  >> FOR YOU KNOW THE SMALL  RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNER  WANTS DEVELOP ANSWER ON  PROPERTY. SO.  >> THAT IS ONE OF THE GOALS OF  THIS IT.  >> WE'RE ALL AWARE OF THE  LONGSTANDING REPUTATION PORT  HAS HAD IN THE COURTS. THE  PERMITTEE.  >> CURRENTLY IT'S NOT IT'S  BEEN CALLED YOU KNOW DIFFICULT  AND THAT'S PUTTING IT  POLITELY. BURDENSOME.  AND THAT A LOT OF THAT IN FACT  PROBABLY MOST OF THAT IS A  RESULT OF THE TYPE OF SYSTEM  OR LACK THERE THAT WE'VE SO  THIS.  >> I'VE SEEN I'VE SEEN THE  CHANGE THAT THIS IS MADE IN  OTHER JURISDICTIONS AND THE  REPUTATIONAL. TRANSFORMATION  THAT IT IS HOT ADD ON OTHER  JURISDICTIONS SO WE ARE REALLY  LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING ABLE  TO PROVIDE OUR CUSTOMERS WITH  SHOULDN'T. STATE OF THE ART  SOLUTION. BE ABLE TO CHANGE  THAT REPUTATION SO THAT THAT  IS NOT THE PERMIT PROCESS IS  NOT SOMETHING THAT HINDERS  DEVELOPMENT AND JUST CUSTOMERS  RESIDENTS BEING ABLE TO GET  THE PERMITS THEY NEED FOR  REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS TO  THEIR PROPERTIES.  >> APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD  WORK I KNOW LOTS IT THAT SO  KUDOS TO EVERYBODY WHO  PARTICIPATED IN THIS.  >> NOW WE'LL SEE IT RIGHT OUT  OF THE BOX BE PERFECT COUNTY  >> I'LL SAY KATRINA KATRINA  JUST REMINDED ME THAT BUILDING  FEES HAVE.  >> STAY THE SAME SINCE 2017.  SO WE'VE I THINK WE'VE  ACCOMPLISHED LOT OVER THE  WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN FEES  AND RIVAL TOO CONTINUE AND  UPGRADE AND MAINTAIN THIS  SYSTEM WITH A LOT AND INCREASE  IN FEES I THINK THAT'S GOING  TO BE A ROLE TESTAMENT TO THE  EFFICIENCIES THAT WE FOUND O  GOOD.  >> KIM THANKS A LOT.  >> MISTER EVERETT ALL HAVE YOU  FRIDAY.  >> YEAH, I'M EXCITED ABOUT  THIS AS WELL IT'S BEEN A LONG  TIME COMING AND PRIOR I'M  SAYING PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL.  THERE WAS A LARGE DESCRIBED  DISSATISFACTION ON THE  PERMITTING PROCESS AND I KNOW  MISTER MODEL CAN ATTEST TO  THAT AS WELL PEOPLE JUST GOT  ACTIVATED HIS TOP SO FORWARD  THERE SHOULD BE A VERY SMOOTH  PROCESS AND AND WELCOMED. MY  MAIN QUESTION IS IS AS WE'RE  GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS AND  WITHOUT GETTING INTO THE WEEDS  ARE VAST THE SECURITY AND THE  BACKUP. IF WE'RE EVER TO GET  COMPROMISED WITHIN OUR  COMPUTER SYSTEM HAVING FOR  BED. IT IS THE STUFF BEING  BACKED UP TO WHERE THEY DON'T  HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE  ENTRY DATA PROCESS ALL OVER  AGAIN AT THE HALFWAY THROUGH  THE PROCESS. YES, IT IS OK  THAT'S ALL DIDN'T KNOW AND I  DON'T NEED TO GET THAT WE  >> JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT  THEIR SAFETY INVOLVED AS WELL  A LOT OF SECURITY PROTOCOLS  AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH THAT'S  ALL I HAD A GREAT JOB.  >> ALL RIGHT AND I'LL THROW MY  $0.2 YEAH, I'M REALLY I'M  REALLY ECSTATIC THAT THIS HAS  COME TO WOULD LIKE TO SEE  THINGS DOWN A LITTLE BIT  QUICKER BUT I THIS SUCH A LOT  OF MOVING PARTS AND TO HAVE  THIS DONE 3 JUST THRILLED.  BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT WAS  LIKE TO GO TO THE ARE PLANNING  AND ZONING BUILDING WHICH WAS  WHEN THE ART CENTER IS TODAY  AND MISTER LEAH WHAT GO AND  LOOK UP A PERMIT FOR ME LIKE  TREE SHE GO TO THE FILE AND  FIND IT AND SAY OK AS $0.10  FOR THE GUY WAS JUST SO  ARCHAIC AND WE REALLY HAD  ADVANCED TOO I HAVE TO SAY I'M  REALLY SORRY MUCH THIS IS THIS  JUST TREMENDOUS.  >> MY QUESTION IS WITH THE.  EVERYTHING IS ONLINE AND  ACCESS TO VIEW MONITOR AND  MANAGE BUILDING PERMITS  INCLUDE THE GENERAL PUBLIC  LIKE SOMEBODY CALLS ME AND  SAYS HEY THERE'S SOMEBODY HAVE  A PERMIT TO CLEAR THAT LACK A  DAY GO ON AND LOOK AT OUT YES  THEY CAN OK.  >> OKAY AND THEY WILL BE ABLE  TO SEARCH BY ADDRESS OR PARCEL  NUMBER SO IF THEY SEARCH BY  ADDRESS THEY'LL BE ABLE TO.  >> C EVERYTHING AND ALL OF THE  MODULES SO WHETHER IT'S A.  >> CLEARING PERMIT OR A CODE  VIOLATION OR A BUILDING PERMIT  IT WILL ALL BE THERE.  >> OKAY SO THAT INCLUDES THE  CODE. I CALLS ABOUT THAT  WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS THEY  CAN JUST CHECK IT OUT  THEMSELVES AND WE'LL SEE WHERE  IT IS A ONE-STOP SHOP OK  THAT'S REALLY GET TO KNOW  THANK YOU. AND YOU SAID WE'RE  GOING LIVE THE DECEMBER 9TH,  IS IT ACTUALLY DECEMBER  NEITHER THE DECEMBER 10TH  THAT'S GOING TO BE AVAIL  SUMMER NIGHT THAT MORNING.

I  DECEMBER 6TH AND THE PHYSICAL  PERMIT COUNTER WILL BE CLOSED  ON. DECEMBER 6. DECEMBER TO  DATE ON DECEMBER 9TH. THAT THE  ELECTRONIC SIDE OF IT THAT  WHERE PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY GO  IN TALK WITH 2 PERMITS WILL BE  AVAILABLE THE MORNING OF  DECEMBER, NOT OKAY.  >> BUT NOT ON THAT THURSDAY OR  FRIDAY THAT THAT'S THE 5TH AND  6TH AVENUE WILL BE CLOSED  EVERYTHING WILL BE SO IT'S A  GOOD WAY TO TOO BRIGHT TO  EITHER SUBMIT A PERMIT. LOOK  AT PERMIT.  >> OR. OR.  >> ISSUE A PERMIT THAT. ON  THAT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AND  THEN SUNDAY IT'S GOING TO BE  WEBSITE ABSOLUTELY WE HAVE WE  HAVE TO SHUT THE OLD SYSTEM  DAM. SEND ALL OF THE DATA  THAT'S BEEN COLLECTED TO ACELA  THEY CAN HEARD IT SEND IT BACK  TO US AND THEN IT'S LOADED  ACELA PROGRAM. SO THEY NEED  THAT PERIOD OF TIME AND THE  WEEKEND IN ORDER TO ENSURE.  THAT ALL OF THAT IS DONE AND  WE CAN'T ENDURE AT CINCO  CHARACTER SINGLE APPLICATION  INTO THE OLD SYSTEM. ONCE WE  CUT IT OFF SO BAD. IT'S IT HAS  TO CLOSE OUT OF ABSOLUTE  NECESSITY.  >> ALL RIGHT AND THANK YOU FOR  CLARIFYING THAT ARE BRINGING  THAT UP ABOUT THE AFFIDAVITS  BECAUSE THAT TO HAVE BEEN. I  THINK LOT OF CONTENTION WITH  SOME RESIDENTS WANTING TO KNOW  WHY SO WE NEVER CAME OUT TO  INSPECT. MY ROOF AND THE CITY  IS YOU DON'T HAVE TO IS THAT  WHAT THAT THAT IF THE  CONTRACTOR SIGNS AN AFFIDAVIT  THAT'S IT CORRECT AND THAT'S  THAT'S PART OF THE STATE LAST  BEEN CHANGED AND.  >> THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE  KEEP WORKING OUR LEGISLATORS  BECAUSE THAT WAS.  >> CONTROLS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL  HAVE CONTINUED TO WATER DOWN  THE ROAD. IT'S SO CLEAR. WE  WATCH THAT VERY CAREFULLY  EVERY TIME WE HAVE A  LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND AS FAR  AS WHAT. THEY'RE LOOKING AT  FOR CHANGING PERMIT PROCESS  RIGHT RIGHT.  >> AND I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU  HAVE PEOPLE LIKE HAVING LESS  GOVERNMENT INVOLVED, BUT  SOMETIMES THERE'S THAT SOME  PEOPLE SEEM TO FEEL AND MORE.  THEY'RE MORE COMFORTABLE IF  SOMEBODY PHYSICALLY COME THAT  LOOKS AT SOMETHING BUT IN  ORDER TO GET RID OF THAT LAYER  I GUESS YOU KNOW YOU'RE OPERA  SEE SOME PEOPLE REFER TO IT  THAT THIS IS.
