Bloomberg in May 2005, Local Law 47 is the result of DoITT's work with the City Council.&nbsp; The prime sponsor of the legislation was Council Member Gale A. Brewer, Chairperson of the Council's Committee on Technology in Government.&nbsp; Making agency performance data available is an important way to ensure open government, and this law provides the public with valuable information while protecting the privacy and confidentiality of callers to 3-1-1.</p> <p>DoITT remains committed to improving these reports going forward, and periodic meetings will be held with representatives from the City's Community Boards to review the 3-1-1 Reports' content and format.</p>
