There's not really "public" per se.
It'll be handled by a private contractor owned by private equity that specializes in leeching taxpayer dollars same as everything. The tender will be won by those who can promise the local govt officials the best jobs at said private contractor or sister/parent company after their term.
Even if by some miracle the city/municipality has its own teams for this work, they'll be nickel and dimed by checkbox ticking legislation that exists as breeding ground for middlemen consultants who will suck away taxpayer dollars.
That is until some "budget hawk" type consultancy is brought in by some bigger fish whether it's the city or the state or the fed or the fucking IMF if you're Greece and force privatisation in the name of efficiency.
This will lead to a collapse of the service quality, collapse of living standards and a declining trust in institutions, leading to a far-right takeover because in the end - most people are monsters.
Or something like that I imagine. I used to work for the NHS in the UK. The owner of the trust "convinced" the procurement to allow the company to make a "surplus". He drove a Porsche and looked like a 90s movie villain.
So yes, pour that shit. And don't feel bad - the ghouls wouldn't, and we're all just human after all.
