I just I did wanna just highlight, and the chair's questions just now alluded to it too.
0:37:43
The contracting process, and the reimbursement and registration is a real issue.
0:37:47
And and not just with bids, frankly, all across nonprofit organizations, And the just the process of contracting and registration reimbursement is really hurting both bids, as I as I said, as as well as organizations.

So and I just wanted to, like, you know, call attention to because it seems like something that should be easy to fix, although I know that it's, unfortunately, just as a very disappointing reality of city government is that we can't figure this out.
0:38:15
But I would urge you all to just really take a close look at how you can streamline reimbursements because it's putting organizations from dates to nonprofits.

You know, they're funding a lot of money, floating a lot of money, and not able to get it back from that deep period of time.
0:38:32
And it just seems like there has to be a way to really cut through the bureaucracy of that process to to at least solve that piece of it.

And we will definitely we we continue to find ways so that we can minimize that.
0:38:46
Impact, especially to our smallest organizations that support our commercial quotas, but we'll definitely continue to work on ways that we can minimize at that time.
