Unrelated to this topic, I thought it was so weird the Health Department is going to take a year+ to post some PDFs in the (existing?) data portal as a follow up to the audit.

What are they doing over there @jwbee.bsky.social @berkeleyscanner.com ?

Council Member O'Keefe.
Thank you, Mayor.
I'm pretty fascinated by this portal software situation, if you don't mind, I have a couple questions.
Well, first of all, actually, my biggest question right now is if people can request a report, why can't you just put that report online? Help me understand.
It has to be.
Whatever they receive should just be online, right? Yeah.
To be completely transparent, I'm going to tell you because IT told me it was impossible.
I'm not a techie person.
It's all fed into our software program that drives all the billing.
So and then it translated into a summary report the way that the software presented it.
So it wasn't a link to each of the reports.
The new software that we have that we're building will do that.
It'll be a link.
They can hover and then they can get the actual report.
Okay.
If I requested the report, I would receive what? You would receive the actual, the full report, not the summary that was going on the software.
Okay.
And what format would it be in? I believe it's PDF.
So why can't you put that PDF online? I'm confused.

I'd be super interested in a writeup/thread on this.

I’ve never seen this opinion expressed by anyone in a shrinking city. It’s always people in desirable cities who can’t imagine a problem worse than “people like it here.” @jwbee.bsky.social
