CM Diamond spoke on behalf of this bill, and he said that it mirrors the state statute. He talked about

how private providers could reduce costs and enable the construction of more affordable housing. There

was discussion about a possible amendment that would include verification of private providers'

familiarity with City Code and Procedures, standards, and state statutes. This amendment was not

moved.

CM Gay said that additional requirements can't be added on top of what is required for state licensure.

CMs Freeman and Salem spoke in support. Nina Sickler, Public Works, emphasized the need for private

providers to be thoroughly familiar with local standards and requirements.

CM Freeman asked to be added as a co-sponsor.
