SO I Just WANT TO ASK THIS FINAL QUESTION FOR THIS ROUND DOES THE ADMINISTRATION have any plan to transition Hertz operated by H and H to DHS to reduce costs?
Jacques Jiha
0:47:47
Yes.
0:47:47
We do actually.
0:47:48
We are in the process of transitioning 3 of them to GHS.
0:47:53
Okay.
0:47:53
And that should save us about, like, $69,000,000.
Adrienne E. Adams
0:47:58
Do you know which 3?
Jacques Jiha
0:48:00
I could provide you the names yet.
0:48:03
I would follow-up with you the board.
Adrienne E. Adams
0:48:05
And what were the savings?
Jacques Jiha
0:48:06
About $69,000,000.
Adrienne E. Adams
0:48:07
About $69,000,000.
0:48:08
Okay.
0:48:08
Yeah.
0:48:09
Thank you.
Jacques Jiha
0:48:09
But again, this is part of the strategy we are using going forward.
Rita Joseph
0:48:13
Okay.
Jacques Jiha
0:48:14
Just a question of we have to find a small because the big one, it's we just don't find we issue IPs.
0:48:21
We have not received any response from many of the not for profit in the city.
0:48:27
Okay, to participate.
0:48:28
So we're still in the process of trying to get these people to participate so that we could see if we could get more and more and more enough for profit to take over some of these operations.
0:48:40
But this is the strategy going forward.
Adrienne E. Adams
0:48:42
Okay.
0:48:43
