Thank you. Questions or comments from the board?
I do have a couple of questions. So I just want to get a sense of a lot of different players here. Who are the roles? Who's doing all this stuff? And particularly, I would like you to explain the pass-through concept and want to make sure that there's awareness of what that really means and kind of why we do it in that structure.
Got it. Now it makes sense. And who's going to be doing that community outreach? Does that go into our processes, our people, or is that in a different area department?
Got it. Okay. Let me see if I have any other questions. I scribbled them everywhere. Well, I do want to thank you, and it wasn't lost on me, the accounting and the risk management and the financial controls slide and, you know, the risk that comes with pass-throughs. And I'm glad that you deliberately put that there. So thanks for reading my mind on that one. I am an auditor, that's what I do for a living. So this is, it was all there and financial controls. I'm glad that we've kind of set up the infrastructure already, that we have a program grant management with like new tools and new…
Thank you. Okay, good. And okay, the last thing, I know we haven't done, I know we have gone with the community process. It does make me nervous that the two that were less sure about the routes are Roxbury and Mattapan. So I know you've got lots of work and outreach and stuff like that to do that. but Yeah Any kind of update I mean I just wanted to say that that you know that worries me for that But I know why and I know that you know the city staff will do their proper community outreach and due diligence to really find out like a what are those paths, right? Like some of those paths I'm on…
Exciting. Okay, great. Any other questions or comments? All right. Hearing and seeing none, a motion is in order.
