A place where we are seeing the parking, all parking garages be managed centrally by the mta. This may not be the time because there may not be another structure in which we are able to engage the community to be involved, but i do think that its important at least to signal that. And, so, i just wanted to explain my vote. I hope that there will be some more information that is forthcoming that really proves and shows the benefit of both of the organizational structures. I believe that that information is out there. I just think that that probably has not been brought to light. And, so, without that information at this moment im not able to support it. So, just wanted to explain that. But thank you very much for reaching out and sharing with me your comments. I verb appreciate it. Supervisor avalos. Thank you.

And the whole issue was to really help us do Small Projects instead of doing plans and specs and going out and advertising, joc was the vehicle that you can actually perform that. And, so, weve been working, trying to include more local businesses. We went out with the we spearheaded the micro joc where its a micro set aside for small businesses. And weve looked at bonding issues on joc. So, weve done a lot to really make joc, you know, palatable to a lot of small businesses. And what miguel mentioned, we are very proud about that.

And then the balance of 3,580,4 61 which is shown in table 6 on page 36 of our report, we consider that to be a policy matter only because the board determines the priorities of what should be expended from the city state Revenue Reserve lost fund. So, our recommendation are on the bottom of page 36. We recommend that you amend the ordinance to delete the Human Service agencies, appropriation for inhouse supported Services Administration and reduce a million 114,76 total requested appropriation by 581,300.

And our second recommendation is to amend the ordinance on page 2 to delete the 1,800,000 source of funding for the children with families co
