Council Member Gale Brewer asks DOT about the level of coordination with the Fire Department, Sanitation, and City Planning through the quarterly task force.

Gale A. Brewer

I know you mentioned some of the other agencies too, SBS.

Gale A. Brewer

Uh how does that coordination work?

Gale A. Brewer

Is it through that task force that you mentioned, or are there other ways that they coordinate?

Michelle Craven

So we coordinate as needed, I think, um, throughout the process.

Michelle Craven

We work with SBS quite frequently actually for outreach to the restaurants, um, and in terms of the MANG funding and other um issues like that the first deputy commissioner mentioned.

Michelle Craven

Um we work with the health department, obviously, in terms of making sure we have the appropriate um eligible restaurants, um, to make sure everything is clear there.

Michelle Craven

We work with the fire department is needed, sanitation is needed.

Michelle Craven

Obviously, we've talked to DCWP and city planning.

Michelle Craven

It's you know, as things come up.

Gale A. Brewer

So it's it's an ad hoc as opposed to something that everybody has to participate in.

Michelle Craven

Aside from the quarterly task force meeting, I would say it's more ad hoc.

Gale A. Brewer

Okay.

Gale A. Brewer

Um the other question I have is the website.

Gale A. Brewer

So the website now I look at it and it has correctly who applied, etc.
