is virtually identical to the success there we're looking to see if we could build on the success we had with the cleaning of the police department building which hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars have been saved it's just a chance for us to evaluate our our costs on cleaning whether it be shelters bathrooms and parks buildings around the city it's always good to go back to the basics

from the police department in the cleaning operation I would ask as a courtesy to the public works committee that this be referred there so that Bill Bittner and his team can can give us some feedback then bring it back to council thank you if I may your honor the resolution specifically has the finance department working with the department head to determine what areas are most appropriate for them to review and perhaps go to RFP RFQ or RFI for it's built into the process to to have the public works department involved they will have to be intimately involved with this as costing has to come up front of what we're paying for now and then we go to RFP RFI or RFQ so that process is already in place so it will be assumed that this will also go to thank you any further discussion if
