“there's the amount of time, as Director Allen said, that they can be dedicating to much more important things than going through, through the procurement process for 7 hours to purchase a weed whacker or a truck. They can be spending on much more important items. But there's also a fiscal note attached to that. How many people, you know, 7 hours of staff time, how much did that cost us in salaries and benefits just for that procurement item for a weed whacker? Probably more than the weed whacker cost itself, I can assure you that.”

So there's the amount of time, as Director Allen said, that they can be dedicating to much more important things than going through, through the procurement process for 7 hours to purchase a weed whacker or a truck. They can be spending on much more important items. But there's also a fiscal note attached to that. How many people, you know, 7 hours of staff time, how much did that cost us in salaries and benefits just for that procurement item for a weed whacker? Probably more than the weed whacker cost itself, I can assure you that.
