in a safe and legal location and moving any that aren't. >> director ramos: with respect to enforcement around double parking or effectively interfering with transit service, is there at accountability when a driver does this? >> so, this program is going to be run out of the taxi and accessible service division and they have a dedicated team of enforcement officers following up on complaints and going out on the street. in addition, just having the permit program gives us a lot more ability to work directly with the people at any private transit vehicle operator who are setting the stops and make sure they follow up on complaints we get. >> director ramos: when we say

follow-up, can you tell me more about that? imquestioning in response to the -- i'm questioning in response to the correspondence. >> chairman brinkman: a question i want to clarify, the ptv we're discussing, this is a separate permit program from the commuter shuttle program? >> exactly. this program applies to services that are open to the public, and run along fixed routes in the city. and unlike the commuter shuttle, this is not voluntary. if a company is operating this business in san francisco, they're required to get a permit. >> i wanted to add that the taxi enforcement layers on top of the on-street enforcement and there

are fines associated with the program. if a permit holder is not operating within the permit conditions, then a citation can be issued. so, that is in addition to some on-street parking violations citations. >> for the benefit of the public, i think i imagine what an administrative citation is, but could you tell us how that works. >> that would be in the permitie is not operating pursuant to the permit conditions, if they're operating on weight restricted streets and we can see that by the data that comes into our system. if they're stopping in locations that aren't allowable. than we can follow up administratively as well as sending out taxi investigators to investigate the behavior. we'll be looking at the data as

the data comes into the office on the actual specific trips and where the vehicles are driving, the gps /* /- /* gps /- /* g.p.s. data will flow. they may not be complying with the permit program. >> i think that my primary concern is that i want to make sure that the companies that we're working with here are held accountable. i have this concern that what is happening out there, the rotation of drivers and/or whatever it might be, there is not enough accountable. i'm getting a steady stream of e-mail complaints from folks that are taking pictures and showing us that there are violations that are happening and it feels a bit like we might

be giving away leverage here that we might have to make sure we're getting agreements from the ptvs to comply with our expectations of how to run our transit service and how the two could truly be complementary. and i want to make sure there is accountability. because as supportive as i am of the services, i do want to make sure they're not slowing down or interfering our ability to be able to provide services. because when a bus can't pull up to a curb or what have you, and people in wheelchairs, people who really need to get to step out from the curb on the bus are really impacted, and it can have detrimental impacts if something goes wrong, which the opportunity for -- the likelihood of something going wrong in those situations when a bus can't pull up to the curb because of the ptv blocking it

for whatever reason, it can be a problem. i want to make sure we're negotiating out agreements as to how ptv service is allocated, we're making sure the folks are understanding the urgency we're working here. >> if i could just clarify. first of all, we're not negotiating. this is a regulatory function of the agency and we have established regulations that you have authorized. that exist, the regulations and establishment of the permit gives us a mechanisms to hold any permit ee accountable. so the citation is a fine. they need to pay any fines or contest them. there is a process for that. to the extent we're seeing recurrent issues of noncompliant, which we don't expect, but if we were to see

that, it's a revocable permit. if they're not addressing the citations, not just not paying them, but addressing them with the drivers, we have the ability to revoke the permit and stop them from operating in the city. we haven't had that. we don't expect that to happen. i think we've had good dialogue and i think it's in their business, and anyone else seeking a permit, it's in their business interest to cooperate so they can continue to operate. but this permit program creates the leverage we have to ensure the accountability you're talking about. >> yes? >> director borden: can i ask a question related to that. are pcos able to enforce or cite these kinds of -- whether it's the ptv or the commuter

shuttles, are they able to do that or is ate separate group? >> i want to let's be careful here and ask the city attorney, i don't want to segue into talking about the commuter shuttle program, since this is the ptv program and if we talk about the shuttle program without giving the public an opportunity to weigh in, it might cross the line. let's just -- >> who can enforce it [ >> the parking control officers can enforce to the extent they're violating the parking code. so if it's something within the purview of the parking control officers generally they enforce. administratively, if it's related to the permit program itself, the taxi investigators can enforce on that level. >> i'm trying figure out, they can't do anything that is moving, they can -- for example, someone pulling into a spot

they're not supposed to be pulling into, is that considered parking, or idling? because i think the biggest challenge in general is often enforcement, not just in this agency but across all different city departments and agencies. and i guess the biggest force of enforcers are the pcos, so i'm trying to understand what degree -- since we get the photos and stuff -- are they able to do anything? >> the photos are helpful, but we cannot issue a citation based on the photo, but it does give us a picture to then follow up. >> the pco were there and saw that, could they write -- >> if they see the behavior, and it's within their purview to issue the citation, it depends on the specific infraction and what is going on. >> generally yes. moving violations they cannot write citations for, that's the

police department. we do work with them when we get complaints about issues, moving violations we work with the police department. but the lions share of issues that are of concern with regard to not conflicting with muni are parking related issues and those are largely within their purv w purview. >> they could actually enforce here? >> right. >> thank you. >> director hsu: what would that look like if a pco pulls up and sees ptv in the muni zone and then the bus takes off? do they chase them down? what does that look like? >> a lot of time for services like these, they issue a drivaway citation, and they are able to when they see the vehicle, they can take a picture and citation is mailed in the vehicle owner. >> good.

>> what we're hearing about greenhouse gas emissions we know that transportation other than our public transportation is a huge part of that. so this is an important thing to highlight to people. because i know that the sound of other buses does drive people a little crazy with how loud they are. so i appreciate that we are making sure that these models meet more stringent emission standards. thank you fort presentation. we'll go to public comment now. >> you have two members of public who have submitted speaker card. >> two minutes, please. >> thank you, everyone. i've had the opportunity to speak to you before on this topic. i was able to celebrate my first year at chariot a couple of

weeks ago and from the beginning have been part of the conversation about the ptv permit and route duplication. and proud to say we partnered with sfmta staff and we've agreed to share our data. the sharing of the data allows for staff to see where the vehicles are, to cite vehicles if they're not following the agreements. we've agreed to pay for the cost of the administration of this regulatory program. and we've worked in good faith to move existing problematic stops. we've changed our routes. we're responsive. we've got dedicated staff working day to day at chariot to address concerns. if there are folks sending you pictures, let us know

immediately. we take it seriously. this is what partnership looks like. as san franciscans we have a tremendous task to address the transportation issue and we want to emphasize that chariot is going to be part of the solution. we're going to prioritize complimenting not competing with public transit. we're creating service and routes that are going to feed into the bart and muni system. we're going to serve our communities of concern. and you know, we're going to continue to train and grow as skilled labor workforce as proud partners with the family, the teamsters. i want to emphasize, we want to work with the city. we will continue to be and be part of the solution. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. first of all, i want to thank

the board and my job for call meg short notice, they said, kendra, we need you. i couldn't wait to come. it's me again. i spoke back in october. i do want to say that i am so proud that i will be with chariot one year next month. i have come a long ways and i'm happy. newly engaged to earl, so we both have grown. it's a lot going on with the job. there is consistent drug testing, there is consistent regarding our scores and following the rules and regulations on the road. i pass the courthouse every day, my route is a corporate route. i see this building, and didn't realize this is the building, but i'm grateful you're letting this company grow. they're strict on us as drivers, they used to let us get away on a few little things, but they're

not playing. they're strict. i love my job, i'm happy to be here. i want to see the company continue to grow. i was selected out of 240 drivers to do a documentary film here in the city. i'm the face of chariot. so pretty soon you will see me. they selected a few of our passengers and they were able to display and show the beauty of san francisco, which is the great tourist attractions like chinatown, japantown. they dialect with some of the natives there. maigz. i saw twin peaks, i didn't know that existed. my mouth dropped the whole time. i love my job and this company is going to continue to hire more men and women like myself and open up more doors. please, thank you, board, for letting me speak. >> thank you, and congratulations on your engagement. >> next speaker, please.

thank you very much, i appreciate that you know, if this is a service which actually tends to the needs of the people, the disabled and the people who need support in the city that's great, but it ludicrous to think there is accountability. i have a good friend who take the photos. there isn't. these things idle. they clog driveways without concern. there is no accountability. that's why you're getting a slew of e-mails and photos. the city is fedoten up. i know you don't want to discuss the shuttle program, but it's ironic you're suggesting environmental impact, because you've clearly not applied those same standards to the shuttle program. we have these 61 buses belching into our windows in the morning.

i'm vehemently against anything that doesn't serve the people and that's all the public has been seeing. so people are on edge and you have to understand the congestion. and there is no recourse. which is why again, you're getting a lot of e-mails and photos because they're not writing citations, no one is policing this and no one gives a hoot about the people, what it's doing to our health and peace of mind in our communities and that's what needs to be addressed and some other situation put into place. thank you very much. >> thank you. any more public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. this also was a presentation and discussion item only. >> if i may just address these last comments. i want to make sure it's clear that we're talking about the ptv today and the comment that i was making are certainly applied across the board, but i want to make sure we're complimenting

and thanking the services that are provided. i think that any kind of services, anything we can do to get folks out of their cars and give them options, particularly where our transit isn't, it is complementary. so i appreciate and i appreciate staff's work in coming up with this presentation and figuring out exactly what is complementary or what is not. i thank you and everybody for your partnership and the good work you've been doing. i think there is some merit to the comments that were made about some of the other topics of conversation for another time. one of the things that i do like about the ptv, they are smaller vehicles. and i think they're a whole lot more welcomed on our streets and people are -- they're a lot more tolerable for the most part. i want to appreciate staff and everybody working together to come up with the definition. >> chairman brinkman: thank you. and just a reminder, we'll be

adjourning this meeting in memory of shirley brier black in recognition of all of her service to this sfmta board of director. >> that concludes the business before you today. >> we are adjourned. thank you very much. >> mayor farrell: first i want to start off on this amazing san

francisco day by thanking phil tinge in securing the $10 million funding allocation for the state and overall support for the homelessness initiatives. i want to thank seniors ronen, cohen and kim. and their willingness to open these crucial centers in their districts and be part of the vote to accept and expend the $10 million of funding. i want to acknowledge david chu for his commitment to tackling california's issues up in sacramento and homeless issues as well. we're honored to have great leaders just as tinge and chu up in sacramento representing the members of san francisco. we're all here because we understand that our city like our cities across the state of california, is undergoing a

homelessness crisis. our streets and sidewalks are filled with people who are struggling with mental health challenge, drug addiction and poverty. this cannot be the status quo. it cannot be the new normal and it is not something we're going to accept here in san francisco. homelessness is a complex issue that requires a full gamut of solutions. we have to prevent people from losing their homes and we're doing such great work as a city, when you think about the move assistance programs, the eviction prevention programs and the grants we have that remove barriers to housing. we're doing that work here in san francisco. in the unfortunate circumstances where people do lose their homes, we have to pursue measures that are successful and proven here in the city of san francisco. such as our homeward bound and navigation centers, truly working to save the lives of

people on the streets every day. these centers are a crucial part of the program in san francisco, compassion. but commonsense in addressing homelessness. we cannot allow our residents, those that are living on our streets to live in unsanitary, inhumane tent encampments. nobody is getting better sleeping in a tent at night. we have to do everything we can to get people off the streets and into better lives. since our first navigation center opened, we have taken 2000 people off the streets. with the help of this funding, we're going to open two new navigation centers that will provide 250 new beds, helping our goal as a city to move one thousand people off the streets this winter. these are impressive numbers, but our navigation centers and our efforts as city are not

about numbers, they're about individuals, about helping those individuals on the streets. as i said before, these are our mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, we need to do everything we can to help get them onto better lives. we're lucky to be joined today and i'm honored to have standing by me,up. i want to tell you about john's story. john was served here at the dog patch and this morning got amazing news, since moving in the bay area 19 years old, john has experienced homelessness and drug abuse challenges, but last year he was put in touch with the navigation center and his life has turned around. he's been a model resident. acquired all the documents, social security card, mental health certification, his birth certificate. applied for every program including receiving his cal fresh benefits. he kept all his scheduled points

with his case manager and complied with all scheduled mental health meetings. all that hard work and commitment has now paid off. just this morning, john told me, he was notified that he has been given a place in the supportive housing unit here in san francisco. [applause] and here's the notice. this is what we're talking about. this is the benefit of our navigation centers. taking individuals who are living homeless on our streets, people like john, who we need to embrace as a city and now we have the proof and now john is going to be into housing. that is what we need to do in san francisco time and time again. it's the reason why we continue to support our navigation centers. why we continue to thank all the staff that are here today that work in the navigation centers, that john has worked with so closely over the past few months. and these are the reasons why

we're so grateful to assembly member tinge for his hard work in sacramento to secure the funding for these two navigation centers in san francisco. and to everybody here on the board of supervisors for working together on the initiatives. it is what we need to do in the city of san francisco and it's what we're doing in the city of san francisco. there is no better proof than hearing the stories and seeing the piece of paper with john's name on it and individuals getting into housing. with that, i want to introduce our great partner in san francisco and worked to get the funding, assembly member, phil ting. >> thank you very much, mr. mayor. i just wanted to thank you personally. you've been fighting on this

issue during your entire time in office and during the entire time on the board, it's been your number one issue. i also wanted to thank the three other supervisors, cohen, ronen and kim. they have been incredible advocates. tireless advocates on this issue and every day having a laser-like focus. i wanted to acknowledge my partner in sacramento, a housing warrior, we've been working up there not just to fight homelessness, but tacking this housing crisis that has been affecting us. i know jeff sparks is here from senator weiner's office. thank you for being here, senator weiner couldn't be here. they're at a senate democratic caucus retreat today unfortunately. but as we know, homelessness is a crisis, not just in san francisco, but up and down the state. we talked about 7500 people who are homeless today. a couple thousand people every

single night on our streets in every single neighborhood. i live on the west side and the west side is not immune to homelessness at all. if you go take a walk through, run through golden gate park, you see a number of folks who have used that as their nightly bedroom. i had a homeless person who decided to sleep in my car for a little while because they were looking for shelter when it was parked in front of my house. this is an issue that has touched every one of us. i agree with the mayor, we cannot accept this as the new normal. l.a. has a homeless population around 40-50,000 people. that would be a medium-sized city here in the bay area. we know this is not just a city problem, it's no a county problem, this is not a state problem, it's a federal problem and we know in california we have to do our part and step up to the plate.

that's why i was so proud to work with the supervisors, the mayors office in making sure we got $10 million for navigation centers, for housing tied to services, for housing that is meant not just to be temporary shelter, but shelter that is going to move people like john onto more permanent solutions, so they don't have to choose where to sleep tonight. they can have a life moving forward. and that's why i'm so excited to work with the city that really gets it. this is something that is not just happening in san francisco. we had a number of colleagues. we funded navigation centers in elk grove, in modeso county. people are popping up on their doors steps, in their streets, in their parks. they're looking for help. we hear that message in

sacramento. we're going to be working hard this year to tackle this issue, which is a statewide and national issue and we cannot accept we have people on the streets every single night, counting that as their bedroom. we have to do something about it. we cannot accept that as an alternative or as something that is ok to happen in san francisco or really anywhere in california. so, with that, let me turn it offense -- over to my colleague, david chu, who has been a real partner in this effort. [applause] >> i had a san francisco experience this morning, my first interview with my son, 2 years old, for nursery school, i'm sorry about that. but i know today is in part a

celebration for john. and i want to congratulate you for what we just learned, but we're here because there are still thousands of san franciscans, men, women, children, families. there are hundreds of thousands of californians who are suffering every day on the streets of our golden state. there is so much more that we need to do to address this. phil referred to the fact this is not just a crisis in san francisco, it's a crisis in california. when i went to the legislature in 2014, we had the highest rates of homelessness in the country here in california. 20% of america's homeless here in our state. today, that statistic is 25%. in 2014, one out of three, chronically homeless americans live in california. today that statistic is 42%. the crisis that has been here in our city is now all over the state. we read about hepatitis a

outbreaks in san diego, but e. coli in the american river, near the sacramento delta. we read about the pain and suffering that we're seeing everywhere, every corner of our state. i want to take a moment and thank all of the men and women behind us who have come together with this, starting with phil ting. it's been amazing partnership working with him, trying move forward an agenda that addresses not just our houses crisis but homelessness crisis. as well as all the supervisors, the mayor, the department heads, the leaders moving this forward. san francisco is leading the way when it comes to pioneering this model of navigation centers and that is incredibly important. we know the work is not going to end here. last year, we were fortunate to move forward a historic housing package that creates a permanent source of funding for housing.

this year, half of that money is going to address homelessness around the state of california. i want to thank governor brown for signing a bill, housing for california which pilots the idea that supportive housing after navigation centers is the most effective way to take care and take folks off the street. that being said, the work is not ending. i know every elected official here is continuing to strive to make sure that some day we don't have anyone who is homeless on our streets. phil and i have more things we're going to say on the topic, but i want to thank all of you for being part of the compassion that is the city of st. francis. thank you very much. >> good afternoon, everyone. my name is hillary ronen, i'm the supervisor of district 9, which includes the mission district which has been plagued

by tent encampments in many years. as in john's case, the only thing that really solves homelessness is housing. but the thing that solves street homelessness, people living in tent encampments on our street, dangerous conditions and squalor are navigation centers. i'm so proud of the work i did with phil ting. when i got into officer a year ago and was able to security the temporary navigation sent which allowed us to reduce the number of tents in the mission from at a high before the navigation center opened, of 246 tents, to today, or actually yesterday, of 40 tents in the mission. that work was only possible because we opened that temporary navigation center. i did that together with noou

ryu and jeff co-sin ski. we opened that center to solve the crisis in the mission, but we know we only have that center for a certain amount of time. i wasn't to phil ting, the chair of the budget committee and i said, please help us get the funds to find a replacement navigation center for wen this one closes. he said absolutely, we cannot only have temporary solutions, we need permanent solutions and he went and was able to obtain a record amount of money for san francisco to deal with our homelessness crisis, $10 million. which is now allowing us to open not just one navigation center when 1515 south closes down, but two. one will be on bay shore and the other at division circle. so i just wanted to thank the

assembly member for really stepping up to the plate in unprecedented ways. i want to thank my two colleagues on the board, supervisor cohen who had to go to another appointment, who is the supervisor of district 10. where we are, the dog patch navigation sent. and supervisor kim, the supervisor of district 6 who hosts the majority of homelessness services and other types of intervention in her district. districts 6, 9 and 10 take the bulk of this problem and offer up the solutions in our city. we do want to see more geo graphic equity and we'll be looking at that as we all work together to achieve our former mayor ed lee's dream of adding

one thousand new navigation center beds in our city. so we can truly once and for all end the street encampment crisis that plagues san francisco. with that, i turn it over to supervisor kim. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, supervisor ronen. many of the comments have been made, but i want to thank assembly member ting and chu for their leadership in sacramento. homelessness is a statewide issue, it is not just a san francisco issue. we will never solve homelessness if we treat it just as a regional issue. we absolutely must have a statewide solution. and as was mentioned previously, we host close to 20-25% of the entire nation homeless count in this state. i want to thank both of them for leading the first grant ever for navigation centers here in san

francisco, which will get us a quarter, 25% of the way there, to mayor ed lee's goal of getting one thousand people off the streets into navigation centers. i want to thank the residents in districts 6, 9 and 10 who have been generous, understanding, that in order to get people off the street, we need to place navigation centers in their neighborhoods by their home. the district where i represent, where supervisor ronen mentioned, we see 50% of the homeless count and the vast majority of our homeless services and shelter beds. i want to thank our residents for being open-minded and saying yes to more navigation centers and shelters, instead of saying no we don't want to be part of the solution. i also want to recognize the staff that do this work on the front lines every day. this work is incredibly difficult and i know we have some of the members of the

episcopal community services behind us here today. i was reminded by two of the staff members that the night that i stayed at next door shelter, they were staffing the night i was there. and i have to say that everybody treated we with dignity and respect. that i was a member of the board of supervisors. and how important it is to create an environment that creates more trust and respect and not less. because people won't accept services if we don't do it the right way. finally, as supervisor ronen mentioned, i want to thank my two sister colleagues in 9 and 10 who are accepting more shelters and services. not just accepting it, but fighting for it and asking for it. we cannot solve this issue if the entire city isn't a part of that. and we have to make sure we're addressing homelessness both as

an economic issue, but also a public health issue as well. we have to continue to serve our population, providing medically appropriate services, so that we can help more folks end up in supportive housing like john here today. thank you very much to everyone. this is a really major effort and this is going to go a long way toward us meeting our goals. thank you. [applause] >> good morning, everyone, jeff can the department of homelessness and supportive housing. thank you for being here today. and i just wanted to point how difficult it is to get these centers open and how difficult it is to operate them. and it really does take this entire city coming together to make this happen. i want to thank the neighbors of the dog patch. i don't know if anybody is here. the dog patch community neighborhood association has been incredible and helpful and i want to thank the staff of ecs

and providence foundation. providence is here on site providing service, cooperating the site, along with ecs, as well as the partners from the human services agency, and the department of public health, who i believe are here today. they're also providing services, enrolling people in benefits and providing them with medical care. i want to thank the port. this is on porlt property and the port was gracious to work with us to make sure we were able to secure the property for the next three years to operate the navigation centre and the folks standing up here, the department of public works, helped identify the site, made sure it was going to work, designed it and this is a beautiful facility. really, really well thought out and then built the site and made sure it got built fast. probably in record time despite multiple challenges we had with

utilities and other things. they did an amazing job and also their ongoing work lepping to keep the -- helping to keep the streets clean. supervisor ronen has been just a fierce champion for navigation centers in her district and city-wide and helped make this funding possible by working with assemblyman ting and to make sure it got used in the best way possible. in terms of the size of the sites. i don't know how to thank you, 250 new beds, going serve thousands of people a year. thanks to you and your advocacy. we would not have had the funds to do this without your advocacy, that's a thousand people we're going to be able to help thanks to you and your leadership and muhammad and supervisor ronen.

mayor farrell has picked up the torch from mayor lee. normally, we serve about 7,000 people in shelter every year. we're housing 2000 people a year and now we're going to assist an additional thousand above that thanks to mayor lee's vision and mayor farrell's support. and pushing us to move this forward. assemblyman chu is also really doing the important work as homelessness is about housing. and he has taken incredible leadership at the state level to building affordable housing and housing at all levels, because tend of the day, navigation centers don't solve homelessness, housing solves homelessness. we have del up here, he is the head of the local coordinating

board that oversees the funding that we have in the city for homelessness and director and formerly homeless himself. and supervisor kim i believe had to leave. she has been supportive and really amazing around the issue of women experiencing homelessness and have had us expand for women who are homeless. that nav center will have a special section for women, and a new program that are serving women who are homeless and pregnant. and certainly not least, supervisor cohen who is the chair of the budget committee and has been supportive of facility opening in her district. this one and another one opening up. has been working with our department to ensure we have the funding we need to move forward and achieve our goals as a city.

thank you all very much for being here tonight. today. we appreciate you all being here. i think we can, folks want to take a look at the nav center, a few at a time, we can do a walk through if you want to see the site. [applause]

>> i came in with an impression of what i thought auditing was >> overcommitted to audit what i knew about auditing with the irs be was i actually knew nothing about auditing >> in my mind it was purely financial. with people get audited if the pain no one wants to deal with it >> now i see a lot of time ask my new auditing is not just about taxes

>> oftentimes most times students believe auditing is only financial whereas when they come into a government in diamond we do much more than financial audits. we do operational audits. or look at the operations of the department for economy efficiency and effectiveness. >> when i hire an intern some of the things i'm looking for first of all is is this individual agile and flexible because our environment is so fast-paced and we are switching from project to project depending on what is going on in the government at any given time. >> i merrily i have been working with audits on facilities management practices across many different >> city guide this obese management audit >> i've also been assisting housing authority audit program >> the homeless audit >> it function. >> cash transaction program >> were starting a new audit on the department of public housing and our mental health department. >> i also assist with the [inaudible] program >> then additionally, i really enjoyed having staff who have

critical thinking skills. because i believe the basis of modern is, not do you know how to audit, but you have critical thinking skills to think through processes. >> even though i've only been here for a short time our quick in-depth analysis of research >> analytical script and there's a lot of thinking a lot of large of information the compact unit into very concise report because we have to be focused on if you're transmitting this information to an audience you need them to be able to understand it. >> so i work with the program primarily. my core duties in the program are [inaudible] against fraud, waste and abuse. >> my internship with audits prepare me for full-time employment does i knew what have to challenge myself in order to be an auditor. >> here we foster a network of authentic feedback and

communication and they pointed out areas where i needed to grow. he was one of the things i like working about the audit department they give you up like a bit of autonomy i feel like it demonstrates trust in nature >> the environment really -everyone feeling super collaborative and wanting to get to know one another which i think it the end of the day inspires a better work environment and gives you better work flow. >> i believe that it really is a great experience because it provides an opportunity to have a better understanding of how government works. >> i think what i've learned so far is that every audit is unique everyday different learning opportunities to >> the recognitions when making audits i can honestly go home at the end of the day as they contributed to city services in a better way. even

if you're not familiar with what auditing is you should deftly try it up to his dinner really awesome extent spews it turns out that all world of auditing that i cannot know beforehand by performance and interviews. that's an exciting. audits is a lot broader than i ever knew before. >>
