Council Member Brooks-Powers inquires about the resource requirements for implementing the task force proposed in Intro 1131. DOT officials respond:
- DOT does not anticipate requiring additional resources to implement the task force
- Existing personnel would be committed to support the task force
- No additional staffing is expected to be needed
- DOT plans to use current staff to engage on the issue without waiting for new hires
- The implementation of Intro 1131 appears to have minimal additional cost implications for DOT

Okay.
1:48:06
Going back to to my bill intro 1131, wanting to understand the cost for that too.
1:48:12
Does DLT anticipate intro 1131 would require additional resources to implement the task force?
Eric Beaton

We we don't.
1:48:20
We understand we would have to commit staff time and effort, but we our anticipation would be that we would use existing personnel to support that.
Selvena N. Brooks-Powers
1:48:28
Okay.
1:48:30
And I was gonna get into additional staffing.
1:48:32
Do you think additional staffing would be needed, or would DOT be able to as you're, I guess, saying, it would just use who you have.
Eric Beaton
1:48:40
Yeah.
1:48:40
I I I think, you know, realistically, we we would use the existing staff.
1:48:44
We wouldn't say we need to wait and hire to be able to engage on the issue.
