Council Member Joseph asks about the human capacity of agencies to respond and conduct audits. Ali says agencies have taken the work seriously and have been supportive, with no pushback so far.

Rita C. Joseph

The most famous question, and I think Councilmember Aviles, what human capacity do these agencies have to respond and conduct audits?

Faiza Ali

Yeah, this is really important.

Faiza Ali

And I think that it's been really reflective in the level of

Faiza Ali

cooperation from agencies, that agencies are taking this work really seriously as well.

Faiza Ali

They understand the city's role in protecting immigrant communities and preserving service delivery.

Faiza Ali

And so, you know, this is something that is an ongoing conversation with agencies, but I'm pleased to say that everyone has been really supportive and engaging in this process, and we haven't had any issues or pushback.

Rita C. Joseph

Good to hear.
