So, all three of you testified, I think, suggestions that could be made.

My question for Rethink is you mentioned not only needing seven people plus two and many more, do you think what what would be the number that maybe would be able to be sure that the menu that is printed is one that they actually get, which is not true from what the Coalition for the Homeless stated?

And then in addition, how do you think, you could or project renewal, know your program you're so dressed up, I didn't recognize you, Barbara.
2:03:13
I'm just telling you.
2:03:14
Thanks.

The issue is what is the mechanism that you could be the prime contractors?
2:03:20
How how could that work?

How could the city make sure that happens?
