With respect to the budget, I'm sure that every department in this fine city would love to have direct access and fund themselves, but that's generally not how things work. When your teams are involved in prosecution in areas of federal jurisdiction like fisheries or transportation and more funds are needed because there is more activity happening, do they go through your agency for budgetary requests? Is that how it works currently?
