From: Supervisor Becerril
To: City Attorney
Requesting/Inquiring: To draft an ordinance creating a linked
technology program for the City and County of San Francisco. The ordinance
will authorize a City Department to: determine the technology and
technology services needs of San Francisco communities; specify the
information that participating technology services organizations must
provide to the City; develop criteria to evaluate technology organizations
based on their commitments (hardware, software, internet access, service,
training, investments, charitable contributions etc.) to low income

What would it take to have all departments have a designated staff
member responsible for reviewing all translations of a department’s
written materials and ensuring that the translations are accurate?
Is there are need for departments to increase bilingual "Public Contact
Positions"? Could your department share such persons among your various
facilities?
