Restler asks about Garner's office headcount and agency MWBE officers

And can you just help me understand a little bit since I think a lot of this falls on your office.

What's your current headcount and kind of budgeted and actual positions that are reporting to you?

So we have 13, 14.

But what...

What happened with an EO is that the ACCOs at the respective agencies and their respective MWBE staffs

report to their agency commissioners, but they also report into City Hall on MWBE issues and initiatives.

And so we're using...

Those that headcount at the agencies as extension of staff in driving the city's MWBE commitment.

Every agency has an MWBE director.

What's the name of the opposition?

Officer, is it Vary?

The contracting officers.

Right.

Depending on the...

Is it a designated liaison at every agency?

Yes, yes.

And so that's who you're speaking to as the extension of your staff?

Yes.

Yes.

Okay.

All right.
