ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

CITY MANAGER, ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON HIS FEEDBACK OR SUGGESTIONS?

The feedback is appreciated.

It reflects some of the conversations that the budget advisory board has had over the past several months.

So nothing that was shared is surprising to me or to the office of management and budget.

I do think that there are opportunities for additional strategic reductions, and I'd like to float those concepts to the commission today and in advance of me bringing forward a proposed budget.

Great.

And if I may, Vice Mayor, so I'm going to touch once more on AI.

I'm an evangelist for this.

So I have consulting clients that I work with.

I just finished up a project that would normally have taken me about three months and produced a 38-page document, McKinsey-level work product, and I got it done in a week.

This would have taken months to do, and I got it done in a week using a combination of Copilot and Claude and chat.

That is the level of productivity that you can get through the utilization of LLMs.

So if we're not incorporating this into everything that we're doing, we're missing a huge opportunity.

I keep telling everybody I talk to, in five years, your job is going to be taken over, not by AI, by somebody that uses it.

So every single department in this city has to find ways to incorporate

these various LLMs into everything you do all day, every day.

Just saying it.

The productivity gains are astronomical.

Yep.
