MY COLLEAGUES ON THE DMO TEAM HAVE BEEN beer heading under the leadership of deputy mayor Joshi, an entire capital reform delivery sort of overhaul.
1:00:45
I know that those initiatives are moving the needle to speed up procurement reform, construction reform, and those items.

So that that is sort of one work stream, just overall changing the way city government is built public infrastructure.

I think the second thing is something that I think council member nurse is calling out rather point well made, which is that I think under the leadership of commissioner Donohue, the Parks department is really looking at other models like the Portland Zoo.
1:01:26
Right?
1:01:26
These modular things that would be a lot more cost effective.
