we're all very excited about it, as you said, i'm jeremy spitz with the sfpuc presenting on behalf of departments and the sponsor. so as you know, departments often enter into agreements with other government entities such as caltrans, ucsf, bart, the national park service, tsa, and on and on. as you can see on this slide, these agreements are generally for noncommercial purposes, such as mutual aid, regulatory requirements, or to support critical health or education services that only another government entity can provide. these other government entities are generally not willing to abide by all of the city's contracting requirements, or have their own governing law in the subject matter department s are required to obtain several waivers for each of these agreements, each of which takes significant staff time and resources. so the ordinance before you today proposes changes to the administrative code, enabling city departments to contract with other government entities without having to adhere to typical solicitation requirements. it proposes to remove obligations typically imposed
