If the EEPC had a communications director to oversee the professional creation of our materials reports, and craft communication strategies around the dissemination of our findings, as well as to manage the messaging of internal external communications about our work.

We could acclimate our city stakeholders and the public to the upcoming legislative, regulatory, and budgetary changes to come.

We would also request funding for one computer specialist trainee to assist our computer specialist in the management of the EEPCs data and computer systems, and one human resources generalist trainee to assist our director of human resources with the administrative work of the unit in order to ensure agency is not hampered by the loss of personnel and institutional knowledge.

In addition, the EEPCs funding for other than personal services, OTPS funding, has not increased in tandem with our recent staffing increases, but has remained flat at 86,555.

An increase of $350,000 would account for the salaries of the requested staff, as well as provide some needed OTPS funding for advanced staff training and industry certifications, necessary software purchases and require software updates, as well as hosting symposia and other events with industry experts and stakeholder partners for the benefit of our city employees and colleagues.

Once again, we greatly appreciate all the support we have received from you, chair Williams, and the committee on civil and human rights, city council, the mayor's office, and our representatives at OMB.
