I THINK WE NEED TO GET THIS PRESENTATION GOING. I'M BACK. SO MAKE SURE THIS CLICKER CAN WORK. CAN YOU CLICK IT ONCE? THERE IT GOES. SLIGHT DELAYS. FOLKS. OKAY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE. SO I AM KIRA CHIEF DATA OFFICER FOR CITY & COUNTY OF HONOLULU. SO BASED ON WHERE WE LEFT OFF, IN APRIL, OF LAST YEAR, YOU'LL SEE THAT ON APRIL 1, LAST YEAR, ACTUALLY WE PUBLISHED CITY DATA PLAN. SO WHAT THIS INFORMATIONAL BRIEFING IS ABOUT, IS IT BASICALLY UPDATE ON WHAT WE IT HAVE BEEN UP TO AND WHAT WE'RE PLANNING TO DO. AND HOPEFULLY, BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE ME SOME FEEDBACK AS WELL. IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE, VERSUS WHERE WE WANT TO BE. SO BASED ONEN THIS FIRST SLIDE, THIS IS JUST GIVES HIGH LEVEL SYNOPSIS OF WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN THE CITY DATA PLAN. SO ULTIMATELY, EVERYTHING FEEDS INTO OUR CITY WIDE DATA STRATEGY. WHETHER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DATA CULTURE, DATA GOVERNANCE, BEST PRACTICES, DATA INTEGRATION, DATA CAPACITY, OR

DATA UPSCALING. SO I'LL DIVE A LITTLE FURTHEREL, LITTLE DEEPER INTO THAT EACH ONE OF THESE NOT EVERY CATEGORY, BUT OVER TIME, WE REALIZE THAT CERTAIN CATEGORIES KIND OF MEDICAL TOGETHER. ER MELD TOGETHERING MADE IN HAWAII FESTIVALLING ALONG TO THE MOVING ALONG IT THE NEXT SLIDE. FIRST AND FOREMOST OBVIOUSLY IS THE DATA STRATEGY PIECE. SO AS FAR AS DATA STRATEGY, CONCERNED, NOT ONLY ARE WE CREATING IT, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE REFINED AS WE GO AS WELL. WHAT WE PUBLISH APRIL OF LAST YEAR, WILL BE PROBABLY RECAST OR REFINED NEXT TIME YOU SEE IT, I THINK TH THERE WILL BE NOT JUST PASSED THIS, APRIL, BUT NEXT APRIL. EVERY 2 YEARS PUBLICKING REFINEMENT U THAT. REPUNTHAT WE DIDDELIVER CITY DAD LINK THERE. FORMBY YOU TO ACCESS. IT. PUBLISHING REFINEMENT) NEXT AREA IS OBVIOUSLY DATA GOVERNANCE. THIS IS HUGE. FOR US. DATA GOVERNANCE IS NOT ONLY JUST SETTING UP THE FRAMEWORK DESIGN, BUT ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTING IT. SO THE FRAMEWORK IS WELL TIFLY DONE. PRETTY MUCH DONE. RELATIVELY. FACEBOTOOK IN ACCOUNT HOW WE'RE ORGANIZED HERE. SET UP WITHIN THE CITY & COUNTY. AND AS WELL AS FIGURING OUT HOW EACH DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY FUNCTIONS. NEXT STEP WOULD BE BASICALLY, ROLLING OUTEL PROGRAM. DATA GORCHTS GOVERNS PROGRAM AND DATA STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM. GOVERNANCE. TALKING ABOUT PUTTING THE RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ONE FOR DATA, AND ANALYTICS AND YAHOO I IN THE LANDS OF OUR DEPARTMENTS. AND AI. HUGE AND YOU'LL SEE LATE, HUGE TIE-IN TO OUR TRAINING PIECE. AND UP IS SCALING PIECE

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, UPSCALING NOT, FEW FOLKS BEHIND THE SCENES, WHO MANAGING THE DATA, IT HAS TO BE IN EACH DEPARTMENT. THAT'S WHERE THE CARE AND FEEDING OF DATA IS GOING TO HAPPEN. AND TITUS ACTUALLY WHERE THE ACTION ISEL THAT'S WITH EACH DEPARTMENT. THAT'S WHERE IT'S ACTUALLY WHERE ACTION IS. WORKING ON, CITY WIDE AI POLICY. SO THERE'S A SHOULDN'T SAY SMALL, BUT 20 PLUS INDIVIDUALS FROM SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. AND THAT IS GOING TO BE ROLLING OUT HOPEFULLY, SOME TIME HOPEFULLY BEFORE THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR. BUT THE GROUP IS ALMOST DONE. WITH OUR VARIOUS DIFFERENT VERSIONS TO SUBMIT TO CORE. SO OUR CORE DEPUTIES WILL REVIEW AND THEN I THINK GOING TO COME OUT AS A MAYOR, OR MDMDO KIND OF DIRECTIVE. NEXT UP, IS DATA CAPACITY. AND DATA AN LI ANALYTICS. MANY OF YOU KNOW IN MY CONVERSATIONS. YOU EXPRESSED THE NEED FOR US TO HAVE NOT ONLY BETTER DATA, IN IT GENERAL, BUT DOLT AS INFORMATION. BEING ABLE TO DATA. LOOK AT DATA IN DIFFERENT SLICE, BEING ABLE TO USE IT STRATEGICALLY. THAT IS WHAT THIS SECTION IS ALL ABOUT. SO FOR THAT, REQUIRES BUILDING A TEAM, SO SO FAR, IN ADDITION TO MYSELF, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THANKS TO COULD YOU EVER U COUNCIL, WE HAVE TWO ADDITIONAL POSITIONS, ONE DATA GORAN AND ANALYST ADD OTHER THE DATA SCIENTIST. GOVERNANCE, UNFORTUNATELY, DATA SCIENTIST WE HIRED MOVED ON TO ANOTHER ROLE. OUTSIDE OF IS THE CITY.

ANYBODY HAS ANY DATA FOLKS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BROUGHT IN, FOR ME TO KIND OF HELP BRING INTO THE MIX, LET ME KNOW. THAT IS NOT A PLUG. DATA INTEGRATION PLATFORM. TOOK A WHILE TO SELECT AND PROCURE BUT WE FINALLY ACTUALLY HAVE ONE. THAT IS ACTUALLY READY AND RUNNING. SO WE WILL BE LEVERAGING THAT TO INTEGRATE A LOT OF THE DATA THAT WE HAVE AND ALL OF OUR VARIOUS SYSTEMS. SOMETHING BIG OPPORTUNITY THAT WE OVER THE YEARS, HAVE MISS HAWAIIED. ADD NOW, WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY BE PUTTING THAT INTO PLAY. EVERYTHING I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE FOR THE ENTIRE AND COUNTY. FOR EVERY DEPARTMENT TO BE ABLE TO LEVERAGE. NOT SPECIFIC TO ANY ONE DEPARTMENT. FIRM BELIEVER IN TRANSPARENCY AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYBODY GETS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE ALL THE TOOLS THAT WE HAVE. IN OUR FINGERTIPS. IN ADDITION IT THAT, TO THAT A LOT OF DATA DESIGN AND A SOLUTIONING. AND NOW, PUT THAT LATER IN THE INNOVATION SECTION. AND AS FAR AS DATA CAPACITY, BUILDING, IN TERMS OF OUR RESOURCESSING, THERE IS ALSO A SECTION ON OUR DATA COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE. ONE OTHER HUGE AREA WHICH I ALSO HEARD FROMMER MANY COUNCILMEMBERS, IS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE TO SHARE OUR DATA WITH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S THEIR DATA THAT WE'RE MANAGING. SO THE OPEN DATA PORTAL IS HUGE. WE HAVE TRANSITIONED ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THAT PORTAL FROM DIT TO MY TEAM. SO WE ARE NOW ACTIVELY

ENHANCING IT AND UPGRADING IT AND WORKING WITH THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS IN MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE IS STANDARD AND THERE'S A FAIR AMOUNT OF GOVERNANCE AROUNDING IT. SURROUNDING IT A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PUBLISHING WILL BE PUBLISHED THROUGH THE OPEN DATA P PORTAL POUR. ALSO HAVE OPPORTUNITY PORTAL. OPPORTUNITY FOR DATA AND AI BEST PRACTICE SHARING. SO THAT COMES IN MANY DIFFERENT FLAVORS. WHETHER IT'S TALKING ABOUT I DO FAIR AMOUNT OF ADVISING TO ALL THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS. WE ALSO CAN DO A LOT OF DATA ANALYSIS. DATA ANALYTICS. WE ACTUALLY ALSO DO HELP WITH USING POWER VI DATA VISUALIZATION. ALL PRETTY MUCH AN ANALYTICS SPACE FIRST STEP BEFORE YOU CAN DO THE FANCY DASHBOARDS IT WHAT HAVE YOU, YOU HAVE TO PULL THE DATA TOGETHER. AND THAT IS WHAT WE'RE DOING, DOING BOTH. AGAIN, THE DATA COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE ARE LOCKER ROOMS LARGE. EL LOCKER ROOMS LARGE. EXECUTION ENGINE. AS WELL AS OUR TRAINING PLATFORM. ACTUALLY. LOOMIS HRAO*PLS LARGE. TAKES US TO THE SIXTH SECTION HERE. DATA AND AI LITERACY. LOOMS. DESCRIPTION LOOK LIKE, KIND OF ON THE DATA GOVERNANCE SIDE. BUT THAT IS HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTING A LOT OF THIS. IS THROUGH OUR PROVIDING TRAINING, BEST PRACTICE, WHOLE WORKS. THROUGH EXECUTING IT THROUGH DEPARTMENTS. I'M TRYING TO ADVANCE IT. IT'S NOT ADVANCING. THERE IT GOES. SORRY ABOUT THAT FOLKS. THERE YOU GO. I THINK THERE'S LAG HERE. SPEAKING TOO FAST. DATA I THINK WE'RE CAUGHT UP. ONE MORE. THERE WE GO. SO FOR THE DATA TO REALLY PRACTICE. THAT IS ACTUALLY SINCE THE ACTUALLY ESTABLISHED IN JANUARY. OF LAST YEAR.

STILL GOING STRONG. EVERY OTHER WEEK, WE, THE FULL DATA COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE IS ABOUT 50 PLUS MEMBERS. AND AT ANY POINT IN TIME, WE HAVE ABOUT 20 TO 25 INDIVIDUALS EVERY WEEK SO THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS DESIGNATED BIT DEPARTMENT HEADS BY THE DEPARTMENT HEADS TO REPRESENT THEM. IN THESE SESSIONS. IS HE WE COVER A EVERYTHING. THERE. FROM BASIC OF DATA, DATA MANMANAGE GOVERNANCE RUN WORKSHOPS TRAINING THROUGH THERE. AND HERE, WE ARE ALSO HAVE ALSO DOING A LOT OF U ON AI FRONT. THERE AS WELL. OKAY. MAUI WIMAUI WILDFIRE MOVE AGO LG NEXT SESSION. INNOVATING AND IT SOLUTIONS WHAT WE DO IN THAT SPACE. MOVING ALONG. A LOT WE CAN DO WITH DATA, ANNUALLY IKS AND AI. ANALYTICS. SO, FIRST AND FOREMOST, FIRST ONE THAT WENT OUT THE DOOR IS THE KOKUA COMMAND CENTER. SOME OF YOU MA HAVE ALREADY HEARD OF THAT. THAT IS ACTUALLY APPLICATION THAT USED ISLANDWIDE NOW. BY HPD, BY CORE, AND BY HOPEFULLY, AS MANY PROVIDERS NONPROFITS ON THE HOMELESS FRONT. AS YOU KNOW, ADMINISTRATION ONE OF THE MAIN PRIORITIES HAS BEEN, CONTINUES TO BE HOMELESS AND MANAGING OUR HELPING ROY VIED BETTER SERVICE TO OUR HHOMELESS AND HOUSELESS COMMUNITY. SIGN DESIGNED FOR THAT HELP FIRST RESPONSERS QUICKLY FIND BED AVAILABILITY ABILITY AS TAKING PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS. SO RIGHT NOW, DEFINITELY, TO HONU.

ESSENTIALLY OUR TRIAGE CENTER. SO THAT HAS BEEN ACTIVE SINCE JUNE OF LAST YEAR. NEXT STOP IN REASON THEY DESIGNED, BY THE WAY, ALL OF THESE YOU SOLUTIONS THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT, ALL DATA-DRIVEN. NEXT ONE IS MS3 TRACKING. FOR YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THE FACT THAT FROM A MENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVE, WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE TOOLS TO ACTUALLY TAKE INDIVIDUAL OFF THE STREET BY FORCE. SO I THINK RECENTLY, SO THE LEDGE PASSED I THINK LEGISLATION THAT SAYS, WE CAN CLASSIFY SOMEONE AS . AM S3, WHICH MINES PERSON IS DANGER TO HIMSELF OR HERSELF. OR DANGER TIER THE PUBLIC. WHICH MEANS AND THEN WHETHER IT'S HPD OR WHETHER IT'S CORE TEAM,ER THEY ARE ABLE TO, TAKE THE INDIVIDUAL TO A MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY OR TO QUEEN'S, ER OR CASTLE ER. ( MH38, MH-3, ABILITY TO TRACK, TAKING INDIVIDUAL FROM TAKING PERSON UP FROM THE STRESS AND ANXIETY, TO THE LOCATION, FROM THE STREET AND LACK TRACKING THEM THROUGH FROM, STREET TO BE HCC, HEALTH CENTER. FROM THE B HCC TO THE NEXT, MAYBE HALFWAY HOUSE, OR TRANSITIONAL HOUSING. SO THIS IS IMPORTANT, BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY HELPS US HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF HOW LARGE OUR COMMUNITY HOMELESS AND HOUSELESS COMMUNITY ARE ONCE IN GREAT NEED OF MENTAL HEALTH CARE. ANOTHER ONE, VERY RECENT ONE,

STILL GETTING TO THE TAIL END OF THE PROTOTYPE. IS FOR OUR CORE TEAM. OUR CRISIS OUTREACH RESPONSE, ENGAGEMENT. GROUP. WE BUILDING ANOTHER DATA-DRIVEN APPLICATION TO HELP THEM ESSENTIALLY PROVIDE BETTER TIMELY M MORE O ACCURATE ACCOUNTING FOR THEIR SERVICES. AS YOU KNOW, OUR CORE TEAM ARE THE ONES IN THE SUN SUVs DRIVE AROUND TOWN. AND AROUND THE I DON'T KNOW ACTUALLY. AND THEY ACTUALLY ENGAGE IN OUTREACH AND HELP BRING OUR VARIOUS HOMELESS AND HOUSELESS INDIVIDUALS TO FOR MEDICAL CARE, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALSO EACH OF THESE TEAMS, MEDICAL PROVIDER A LORNG THAT RIDES ALONG WITH THEM. ALONG. SO THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE, WHERE, THEN AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE CAPTURING ALL THE YOU ARE DIET DATA AND ININFORMATION TO HAVE A BET VIEW OF THE KIND OF SERVICE WE'RE PROVIDING AND FROM A PERFORMANCE TRACK PERSPECTIVE, RE WE CAN SEE HOW WELL WE'RE DOING. HOPEFULLY, THAT FEEDS US INTO WHAT KIND OF POLICIES WE WANT, WHAT OTHER KIND OF ACTIVITIES WE WANT TO ENGAGE IN. BETTER VIEW ANOTHER BIG ONE, MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD THIS, ABOUT THE CITY PROPERTY DATA INVENTORY, THAT IS IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW. AND THIS THERE'S A LAG HERE. SORRY. THERE WE GO. CITY PROPERTY DIENT VENDOR I WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS ACTUALLY DATA INVENTORY REQUESTED EVEN BEFORE, I CAME ON BOARD. AND NOW, WITH THE SOFTWARE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PROCURE, DATA PLATFORM THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TOGETHER, INFRASTRUCTURE ACTUALLY, WE ARE NOW GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FINALLY, CITY PROPERTY

DATA INVENTORY. I'M HOPING STILL ON TARGET FOR END OF MAY. BUT HOPEFULLY, WE'LL SEE. TRYING OUR BEST TO MEET THE DEADLINE. SO THAT HOPEFULLY WILL BE SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH FOR CITY PROPERTY DATA. AND THIS WILL BE INTERACTIVE. PUBLISHED OUT ON OPEN DATA POUR IT WILL. SO THE PUBLIC WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE AB SETS TO IT AS WELL. ACCESS TO IT AS WELL. AND I THINK WE'RE ALMOST AT THE TAIL END HERE. TWO NEXT SESSIONS HAVE TO WITH KIND HELP AND ASSISTANCE THAT WE PROVIDE TO OUR VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS AS WELL. THAT IS IN AI. SO THERE'S A TESTING AWARENESS SOCIALIZATION, I WORK WITH VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS AS WELL ASEL BY THE WAY, DIT IS MY PARTNER. IN A LOT OF THESE THINGS. AND ON THE DATA ANALYTICS AND DOLT VISUALIZATION FRONT, DATA. THERE IT IS, I'M ALSO CHAMPIONING TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE FOLKS NEED TO ACTUALLY DO MORE WITH THEIR DATA. THAN JUST PUBLISHING IT IN SPREADSHEETS. IN ESSENCE, THAT IS END OF MY BRIEFING. PLEASE ASK ME IF YOU HAVE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'LL AB P U HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER THEM.

Vice Chair Dos Santos Tam: MEMBERS ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR CHIEF DATA OFFICER? COUNCILMEMBER OKIMOTO. Councilmember Okimoto: THANK YOU CHAIR. ALOHA GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE UPDATE.

BASED ON INITIAL DATA PLAN, THANK YOU FOR SUBMITTING THAT, IN THE DATA PLAN, IT IDENTIFIED CURRENT URBAN DEVELOPMENT CAN UNDERSITUATION WITH DATA STANDARDS IS QUOTE, SEVERELY LACKING. WHERE ARE WE WITH THIS TODAY, IT HAVE WE IMPROVE SEVERELY LACKING, DATA STANDARDS?

Testifier: ACTUALLY COMES IN THE FORM OF DATA GOVERNANCE. SO BY ROLLING OUT DATA GOVERNANCE PROGRAM, THAT ALSO REQUIRES SETTING THE STANDARD AND SO IT'S NOT SETTING STANDARD WE WANT TO MAKE YOU ARE CENTRAL OAHU THAT THE STANDARD ARE ALSO, STANDARD DEPARTMENT CVS INPUT INTO IT AS WELL. SO BY PUTTING RESPONSIBILITY, AND ACCOUNTABILITY AT THE LEVEL, DEPARTMENT LEVEL, AS WELL, IT'S A COMP CLAY BE RAY TF THUG. AGREE ON THE STANDARD. COLLABORATIVE THING. NOT EVERYONE BLINDLY FOLLOWING SOME NEBULOUS STANDARD. IT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING WE ALL GRUE HE TO AND GO INTO IT REALLYINGLY AN KNOWINGLY. AGREE TO. WE CAN. IMAGINE THAT BETTER.

Vice Chair Dos Santos Tam: SOUNDS LIKE DISCUSSION PHASE. DO WE HAVE A WORKING DOCUMENT? DRAFT U YES. I'M WORKING ON THAT. I WILL BE ACTUALLY I WILL BE SOCIALIZING THE WHOLE DATA GOVERNANCE PROGRAM NO PROBABLY UPCOMING CABINET. AND ALSO GOING TO BE SHARING IT WITH COUNCIL WHEN WE GET CLOSER. Vice Chair Dos Santos Tam: RIGHT. INITIAL DATA PLAN SPECIFIES THAT YOU AND THE DIT DIRECTOR WILL REVIEW OPEN DATA POLICIES IN FY '26. THAT WAS TIMELINE AND GOAL. WITH TWO MONTHS LEFT IN FY '26, HOW ARE WE DOING TERMS REVIEWING THAT HAVE WE MADE RECOMMENDATIONS AND CHANGES OR ARE THEY UNDER REVIEW

Testifier: YES. ACTUALLY, SO SO HE WE HAVE JULYI BELIEVE, AS THE DATE. AND BRIGS AND I ARE VERY AWARE OF IT. SO WE'RE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SHOOTING FOR. THAT'S ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS BEHIND ACTUALLY TRANSFERRING MAIN ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT OF IT FROM DIT TO IT. SO THAT WE CAN AC ACTIVELY MANAE THAT AND SET STANDARD AND MAKE SURE PEOPLE FOLLOWING STANDARD. BEFORE, IT WAS HERE IS THE TOOL. NOW, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN. JUST UPLOAD THE FILE. NO. WE WANT TO DO MORE THAN THAT.

Vice Chair Dos Santos Tam: URN ISSUE DATA PLAN, TALKS ABOUT HOWEL EACH AGENCIES CITY ADOPTS DEPARTMENTS SHOULD HAVE SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM GOALS POSTING THEIR DATA END OF FY '26. ARE WE ON TRACK TO HAVE, ALL DEPARTMENTS POST THEIR DATA AT LEAST HAVE GOALS FOR DOING SO? U WE HAVE, SOME DEPARTMENTS ARE BETTER AT THAT THAN OTHERS. AND THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT BRIGS AND I ARE WORKING ON THROUGH OUR ADOPT COMMUNITY PRACTICE DATA COMMUNITY PRACTICE TO START INSTINSTALL STILL THAT INSTILL THAT, HOW SHOULD I SAY, MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS WHO ARE COMMITTING TO UPLOADING ON A MONLTDLY BASIS, THAT MONTHLY BASIS. EEN ENABLE THEM TIKTOK DOING THAT SUCCESSFULLY EVERY MONTH. TO BE DOING THAT. BY THE WAY, WAY THE OPEN DATA PORTAL WORKS, IS THE RESPONSIBILITY O AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR UP LLOYD LOADING SHOULD BE IN THE DEPARTMENT'S HANDS. UPLOADING. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT FOR THE OPEN DATA PORTAL U TAIL. SIGH SERVICE TYPE OF THING. PORTAL. WASN'T USED IN THAT FASHION BEFORE. SO WE ARE GOING TO BE, AND HAVE HAVE TRAINING PROGRAMS AND HELP EACH DEPARTMENT LEARN HOW TO DO IT PROPERLY. THAT'S PART OF PLAN TOO.

Vice Chair Dos Santos Tam: ONE MORE QUESTION. FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS. WE HAVE ANOTHER HEARING AFTER THIS. I APPRECIATE THE EXAMPLES. EXAMPLES SURROUND HOMELESSNESS, P MH-3 SOUNDS LIE ESPECIALLY AND D C S UTILIZING THIS. REAL PROPERTY TIES INTO DPP. AND DHLM TO SOME EXTENT. IT A CURS IT ME COUPLE OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT WOULD REALLY BENEFIT. OCCURS, UTILIZING AI TOOL TO HELP THEM DO THEIR JOB. DTS COMES TO MIND. OUR TRAFFIC OPTIMIZING TRAFFIC FLOWS. AND OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT. HOW I GUESS, HAVE WE RANKED DEPARTMENTS MAYBE GROUPED THEM IN WHICH ONES REALLY BENEFIT? I DON'T IMAGINE THE ROYAL HAWAIIAN BAND NOTHING HITS THEM MORE LIKE THE MEDICAL EXAMINER USING AI. IN THE SAME EXTENT AS SOME OF THESE OTHER DATA HEAVY DEPARTMENTS.

Testifier: YES. ACTUALLY, D I DO WORK EXAMPLES FOR THIS SOLUTIONING HAVE BEEN ON DCS, DHLM DPP. AND I GUESS THE CORE TEAM WHICH IS PART OF OUR HESD. BUT I HAVEN'T GAUGED WITH HPD. FIRE, DTS, AS WELL. SO AND THEN SEVERAL OTHERS. LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY ALLERGY LEVERAGEAI. DIDN'T LIST THEM OUT HERE, THOSE ARE MORE LIKE STILL IN RESEARCH AND CONVINCING NAVIGATING THROUGH IT PHASE. BUT WHAT IS ON HERE, IS ACTUALLY WHAT WAS DELIVERED ALREADY.

Vice Chair Dos Santos Tam: OKAY. I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT. 34E78S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR OUR CHIEF DATA OFFICER? OTHER QUESTIONS IN WRITING THAT WE'LL SUBMIT. APPRECIATE YOUR WORK.
