I’ll refer to my previous response regarding the need for a dramatic increase in public/private sector partnerships here. Austin has an issue with duplicative services being offered in a multitude of capacities but most especially with our provision of social services, social equity and social justice. We have got to get serious about streamlining service provision, increasing access to advocacy for individuals and businesses and maximizing our ability to generate passive revenue by utilizing space and other assets considerately and prudently.
