At time we are in active conversations with our office of management and budget and we review our staffing levels and our resource levels day to day, and also in addition to that beyond just our organization with Deputy Mayor Anna Almanzar's leadership and Executive Director Cedillo's leadership, Mons and Moks released a workforce survey asking all of our city agencies, not just the human services ones, to take a look at their procurement shops, their contracting shops, their finance shops, and their legal shops, so that we could really understand what the staffing levels are relative to their workload.
