“Okay, so the only thing I would say on that is I think she said she's going to get us real numbers. And I don't know, Namita, if you want to explain how you're going to get that. I don't know if we're going to go out on the street and do a full procurement.”

“I guess I need clarity from the director and how you were getting the real numbers because to do a full procurement for however many time that we're going to look to do it could be potentially problematic because if we are looking at bringing it in house then we're going to tell all these people who bid sorry we're not going with you and then I mean I maybe there's an invitation to negotiate maybe there's some other I don't know process how are you going to get her the real numbers by September?”

“That's exactly right. That's what I was going at. Yeah. That's fine. Okay. Okay. Thank you so much. Perfect. Great discussion. This is what happens when you come after a budget committee. Yes, apparently I do not. So through the lens of our infrastructure committee, are there any other items that we need to be looking at? And by the way, I really appreciate the discussion this morning. What other items or are we going to pass the balance of the agenda and get to the presentations?”

“Okay, moved by Commissioner Cohen-Higgins, seconded by Commissioner Gonzalez. All in favor? Aye. Signifying aye, I'll show that passed. And now we're going to get to the presentations except for that. I have a request that I will be making formally to the Chair's office for item 3B for the award of the contract due to time stipulations and constraints. I'm going to be requesting to add that to the agenda next week.”

They're part of the Young Youth Engagement Program. Sorry. Yep, yep. Okay. So welcome. All right. So our first presentation is going to be with the Communications Information Technology Department.

“So since I wasn't there earlier today, we are going to be having a workshop. Is that what we're looking to schedule?”

“Well, I would like to be a part of that. And so I guess hearing from three of the board members right now, I think it's clear that they want to waive the presentations to an August meeting for, I guess, a more in-depth budget discussion. I know yesterday at our committee, we had these great presentations, but they were really an abstract. And so I did say at the end, it would have been nice to have some budget numbers with them. So while I do appreciate everybody's time and effort, I think this committee is now taking the direction that they would like to postpone any sort of presentation…”

“Yes, since we're taking both 7A and 11A4, I know I would like to be listed also as a co-sponsor to 11A4. Listen, I think philosophically, if you want to see things happen, especially to resolve the affordability crisis, You have to give parameters and safeguards, and you have to have a finite amount of time to do it. And if you can't deliver what we're looking for, then, of course, we have to look at other remedies. Because I think this is a great piece of legislation, so thank you.”

“Well, okay, I will then, if you pull the item. No, no, no. Okay, just really quickly on the FEMA, I asked this question yesterday and I'd like a response. Because this is a contract that would be prospective for reimbursement, right? This is from FEMA, which is why she wants to ensure that they're eligible to receive that. So we are eligible to receive that reimbursement. I know that FEMA is going through a process of changing what the floor for reimbursement is going to look like. So I don't know if someone can address that for a moment, just so we can also understand that. Meaning that the…”

“And have we contemplated, well, there is an actual figure, I believe, that is being floated in a proposal. Does anybody have that? Because has that been baked into what we look at in numbers in the event that we are not reimbursed at the levels that we used to be reimbursed at?”

“Okay. And do we know just the long range of what they're thinking about in terms of?”

“Thank you. I appreciate the line of questioning, Commissioner Cohen-Higgins. And I understand where the Policy Council kind of brought forward their kind of perspective on things. But I guess I'm going to bring a different perspective to this. As I listened to the conversation, I actually went from, okay, listen, we're going to save money. Well, the FEMA reimbursement. Is what we're really talking about, right? It's not necessarily, we have the outlay, whichever company we give it to up to X amount. Then it becomes a FEMA reimbursement. So we want to make sure that first and foremost,…”

“So much we will have a moment of silence followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Okay, thank you. At this time, we're going to open up reasonable opportunity to be heard. I have not been given any sort of cards or any names, but if anybody is here and wishes to speak, now is the time. Seeing no one approaching, reasonable opportunity for the public to be heard is now closed. Attorneys, any additions, changes, anything before we set the agenda?”
