So it's been reported that the citywide space savings task force has asked the law department, fire department, and social services to reduce their office footprint.

These the only agencies that you're asking to reduce space?
Louis Molina

I would not think that they're the only agency that we're asking to reduce space, you know, to give credit to council member Marte's statement earlier.

We are in a new the world of work today.

So we have a lot of members of our city workforce that are working remote.
0:58:24
We are helping our workforce adapt to the culture where it's not one desk, one person, and we have a lot of shared spaces.

So it's an ongoing partnership that will involve many of the city's agencies, not just the ones that you've mentioned.
