Item 45 was pulled from consent for questions. The mayor said the rollout has had significant challenges and Oracle support is being engaged to close gaps and hand subject-matter expertise to city staff, so the city need not pay outside help after 120 days. It draws on an existing cooperative purchasing contract. Approved.
