How do you receive a request to audit from these agencies?
1:50:47
Like, if they were to ask for an audit, how would you receive the request?
Jeanne Victor
1:50:53
So if they were to ask for an audit in any way that they asked, if they wanted a meeting or if they wanted to send an email or something to say that we need the EPC to conduct an audit, we would do so.

CCHR?
1:51:13
We're we have some relationship with CCHR more so than civil service commission, but recently, I know that CORE had organized a meeting where all the small agencies got together and we were a participant in that as well.
1:51:34
So we are establishing more relationships with some of the smaller agencies and city government.

1:51:46
For the public to submit an audit request?
1:51:51
I don't know that there's a mechanism for the public to submit an audit request.
1:51:57
However, if there are issues that occur that are public in a particular agency, that is something that we would probably be looking at.
1:52:10
Okay.
1:52:11
If an agency is found not
