Because it doesn't make sense because they just gave you guys tremendous amount of work to do over the summer when you're the busiest, so I'm on that.

1:46:22

How does ZYCD coordinate with mocks and the controllers to resolve procurement bottleneck?

Jeremy Halbridge

1:46:31

Sure.

1:46:31

Yeah.

1:46:31

As I mentioned earlier, we meet with Mox and the team on a weekly basis to go through both current actions, upcoming actions, and any bottlenecks, issues, concerns, be it in passport or with the procurement process.

1:46:45

The controller's office is always available to us, and we reach out to them as necessary to try and move things along.

Council member Stevens, if

Kim Yu

1:46:55

I may.

1:46:58

Moks as the oversight of all of the mayoral agencies, the human service ones included, maintains a relationship with the controller's office because they do own a critical part of the contract registration process.

1:47:13

They are the last stop.

1:47:14

As you know, they're the only ones as you pointed out with a thirty day clock.

1:47:23

We are dependent upon them because they are our partners in this while they do have a separate oversight responsibility overseeing the contracts and the procurements.

1:47:35

One of the things that we do with all of our city agencies, here at MOX we have agency representatives and liaisons to each of the agencies, and then also we have our MOX leadership engage with the controller's office on a regular basis to review contracting issues including late registration.

1:47:57

And one of the things that I mentioned in testimony, one critical component that would greatly be appreciated from the controller's office is if they were to allow pre processing and expand the window which the human service agencies could submit fiscal year twenty twenty six contracts.

1:48:19

Right now we are tied to a date, think it is sometime in May.

1:48:24

If it were earlier in May, I think that that would go a long way.

1:48:29

So that's all to say that we closely coordinate with the controller's office and while we respect and recognize they have a different role, we also we need their partnership in this as well.
