Thank you so much.

3:07:39

I guess I wanted to just quickly there was there was some other y'all had some really good recommendations.

3:07:51

Oh my goodness.

3:07:52

I'm getting lost in my papers.

3:08:08

Yeah.

3:08:08

I guess, I thank you for certainly the recommendations around the consistency between contractors.

3:08:17

We see that the city has no apparatus and has not been thinking about the contractors when we see in the report a 135 contractors at varying levels from $20,000,000 to $18,000,000.

3:08:32

And you're experiencing on the ground, those gaps there's enormous amount of work to be done around consistency assessment of contractors and and finding out what exactly are we paying for and why can't we hire all the folks that Adama is working with to be able to meet that need is is mystifying to me.

3:08:55

But thank you for the recommendations and certainly your testimony today.

3:09:00

So thank you.

3:09:10

The next panel, Ana Juarez and Emery.

3:09:17

3:09:19

Excuse me if I mispronounce your name.
