Council Member Julie Won inquires about the average time for council discretionary contract registration and related improvements. Key points discussed:
- The council finance team believes the average registration time is 360 days
- MOCS officials do not immediately confirm this figure, promising to provide data later
- Switching from one-year to three-year contracts has resulted in a decrease in registration time
- The estimated decrease in registration time is between six to nine months
- MOCS officials commit to providing more precise data before the end of the hearing

Right now, the council finance team believes that we have an average of three hundred sixty days for a city council contract to be registered.
1:28:42
Can you confirm that average length of time it takes for council discretionary contracts to be registered?
1:28:47
And has there been any effect on contract registration time since we switched from one year to three year contracts?
1:28:53
And is there a standardized amount of amount of time across agencies that is there a standardized amount across agencies that can be prepaid to providers to your belief, to your knowledge?

1:29:23
What was the second part of your question, chair one?
Julie Won
1:29:27
So we heard that in average, it takes three hundred sixty days for city council contracts to be registered.
1:29:33
So the first question is, can you confirm that that is, in fact, the average time that it takes for council discretionary contracts to be registered?
Lisa Flores
1:29:42
I'll get that data for you hopefully before the end of the
Julie Won
1:29:45
Okay.
1:29:45
Hearing.
1:29:46
And then we want to know, have there been any effect on contract registration time since we switched from one year to three year contracts?
1:29:53
Yes.
1:29:53
That help us all?
1:29:53
I hope so.
Lisa Flores
1:29:54
Yes.
1:29:55
The the I I again, I the I don't seem to have it right in front of me unless it's hidden in this very large binder that I have, but my recollection was somewhere between six to nine months decrease of time frame.
