Farías urges streamlining and asks if subcontractors will be in improvement plans
Farías says entrepreneurs find the certification and contracting process convoluted, paperwork-heavy, and time-consuming. She asks whether subcontractors will be included in utilization goals and improvement plans if the bills pass, and MOCS says the administration will incorporate new legal requirements.
You know, I think also, at least from my first term and coming into the second term, we constantly hear from people, from entrepreneurs and small businesses, that this process is convoluted.
Paperwork is intense.
It's time-consuming.
There's streamlining that has to happen.
There's simplification that has to happen in order for, like, our folks and our communities to actually compete.
Like there's a level of competition that we have to also help folks stream.
line to improve these numbers.
And even in the subcontracting process, making sure payments go out first to those people despite the completion of the job.
Like there's a lot of steps that we as a city have to rectify that we've been talking about for a lot of years that I hope we can get to really soon.
Just in my last thought, I'd love to hear
you know, if and when these bills pass on the subcontracting side for a council member, for chair wrestler's bill, excuse me, will they then be included in this level of reporting for,
in connection to my bill for the utilization goals and the improvement plans?
Will they be a part of, the subcontractors be a part of those plans?
I think that whatever the results are of what bills are passed,
naturally the administration will take whatever steps to incorporate the requirements of those laws into our practices.
Okay.
Thank you, folks, so much for the time.
Thank you, Chair.
