Thank you so much.
1:37:08
I have questions for you guys.
1:37:10
And this is the reason why we have these hearings, right, is that we're not taking a vote yet.
1:37:13
We're introducing talking about it in the hearings so that we can figure out what changes need to be made, what legislation like language amendments need to be made.
1:37:24
So I'd be curious to hear from each of you and you don't have to answer this now but if you could what if maybe you want to resubmit or add this in your testimonies because you guys are working on the ground and know things what you see things that are happening on the ground and so I'd be curious to hear from you all on the two bills knowing that there are concerns that the community has how you would maybe amend some of the language of the bills to not only address the concerns but also moving forward what would your suggestions be for how to make improvements because what I will say is that even if it's outside of the purview of the bill I'd be curious to hear what you guys have to say in terms of what we're not doing, what we're missing as a city, how we can make an improvement.

So feel free to answer now and then also specifically for Jasmine I was just wondering or actually any of you, do you for the mobile programs do you also partner with IMT, ICT, the AOT programs as well as BeHeard and all of the other ones that are out there because oftentimes I find that they're not connecting with folks perhaps like yourself and so I'd be curious to hear what your experiences have been in connecting with those other outreach teams.
