WHEREAS, The operation of this information clearinghouse will be based on grants and community fiscal sponsorship and will be at no expense to the city, now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the board of Supervisors hereby urges City Departments to share all database data to which the public is lawfully entitled with the San Francisco Survival Manual when requested for the purposes of a community based informational pilot project.
