Commissioner Grace Bonilla questions Michelle Jackson about the potential for confusion if the Mayor's Office of Contract Services (MOCS) became a charter agency alongside the Procurement Policy Board (PPB), and how their responsibilities would be divided.
Jackson clarifies that MOCS would handle day-to-day invoicing and contract implementation, while the PPB would focus on procurement rules and bidding oversight, creating checks and balances rather than confusion.
Asked how a charter MOCS could improve worsening payment delays, Jackson explains it would have the authority to enforce uniform, streamlined processes across all city agencies, regardless of differing deputy mayoral oversight.
