Garner says Comptroller report omits subcontract and non-mayoral agency data
Garner calls the Comptroller an ally but says the report excludes MWBE subcontractor activity and non-municipal agencies like SCA, NYCHA, Public Schools, EDC, and H+H. He says those five agencies hold 55-65% of city procurement spend and the city is focused on a OneNYC view.
So certainly we view city controller.
Office as an ally and a partner.
I've had a long-lasting positive relationship with City Controller Mark Levine.
I was on his transition team when he ascertained the office of the Manhattan Borough President.
We have a long working relationship.
We both agree that we're going to work in tandem.
However, the city controller's report does not include any of the MWBE subcontractor activity
or totals, and it does not include any of the non-municipal agencies, including the School Construction Authority, NYCHA, the New York City Public Schools, EDC, and health and hospitals, where...
Between 55 and 65 percent.
of the city's procurement spend reside with those five agencies.
And so we are focused on a one NYC viewpoint of capturing all MWB activities, local law agencies, and the NUT.
