Thank you, council member, Stevens.
2:03:57
And I think your line of questioning is a 100% appropriate.
2:04:01
I mean, we were here in April.
2:04:03
When we had a grievance hearing, we asked specifically how you were reforming it you said you were doing a audit.
2:04:09
We've asked every single time since.
2:04:11
When will the audit be complete?
2:04:14
When will there be some initial recommendations on how you're changing things?
2:04:17
Like, every single time we've come back, we've asked.
2:04:20
And we've never gotten an answer.
2:04:24
We were told, oh, in a few months, which is what you just told council member Stevens in a few months, and we've never gotten anything back in follow-up in in written format.
2:04:35
And so it's it's not just it's not just that, you know, the council member is pressing because of the nature of this topic.
2:04:43
It's because we continue to not get definitive answers and a definitive timeline which lets us know that we don't know what the hell is going on over there.
2:04:52
Like, we just don't know, like, is it anybody's work plan?
2:04:55
Is who's responsible specifically to carry it over the finish line?
2:04:58
When will we ever get an initial understanding of what is going on.
2:05:02
It's it's very, very challenging and frustrating for us, and that's why you get this level of frustration coming at you.
2:05:10
So I do underscore that.
2:05:11
It is all on us, but we can only work together and collaborate when you communicate properly to us in an effective way.
2:05:20
Council member, Kevan.
