So for the for the record, I'm so sorry.
0:29:48
I just wanna make sure I'm clear, and this is helpful because what we see in the budget documents is that Moya only has 6
Manuel Castro
0:29:55
Correct.
Alexa Avilés
0:29:56
Full time staff.
0:29:56
So the 15, the 20, the 30, where where are all these people housed?
0:30:01
So if you would run throughs, what are the Moya staffers that fall under your line item?
Manuel Castro
0:30:09
Correct.
0:30:09
And I'll let Jasmine break down the agency partnership lines.
0:30:13
But just to say, this is is something that many mayor offices you know, deal with.
0:30:22
Sure.
0:30:22
We have tomorrow.
Alexa Avilés
0:30:23
I just I just want clarity.
0:30:25
Yes.
0:30:25
Just clarity.
0:30:26
So are the 3 are the 3 language service supervisors, I'll call them.
0:30:33
I'm sure that's not the correct term.
0:30:35
Are do they belong to your line item?
Manuel Castro
0:30:38
I'll let Jazz break down.
0:30:39
I believe those are decast lines, but I'll let Jazz Okay.
0:30:42
Yeah.
Alexa Avilés
0:30:42
Let's start with the positions that belong specifically to Moia.
0:30:48
And then I'd like to hear the breakdown of the positions that I get that are working under your purview, but obviously distributed at different agencies.
Jasniya Sanchez
0:30:57
Sure.
0:30:57
Thanks.
0:30:58
Thank thank you for the question.
0:31:00
So historically, the way that our budget has been set up and continues to be set up is spread throughout 3 agencies.
0:31:11
So under the mayor's office, under DSS, as well as decast.
0:31:17
And in all three of these agencies, we have both OT PSMP MPS.
0:31:26
That fall under our budget.
0:31:28
So our budget spread out throughout these 3 agencies in terms of head count correct under the mayor's office.
0:31:38
You see three lines there under DSS, we have 11 lines.
0:31:45
Under decays, we have 43 lines.
Alexa Avilés
0:31:49
Sorry.
0:31:50
Can you speak a little louder into the mic?
0:31:52
It might be me.
Jasniya Sanchez
0:31:52
Sorry.
Alexa Avilés
0:31:52
Old age.
Jasniya Sanchez
0:31:53
Can you hear me now?
Alexa Avilés
0:31:54

0:31:55
Better.
0:31:55
Yeah.
0:31:55
Okay.
0:31:56
Thank you.
0:31:57
DSS.
0:31:57

Jasniya Sanchez
0:31:58
So May yourself is 6.
0:31:59
DSS 11.
0:32:01
Decast 43.
0:32:04
43 lines.
0:32:06
And then I just want to note, you know, we do have a partnership with RF Quni, and we currently do have one line under, you know, under RFQuni.
0:32:19
So in total, we have 61 lines.
0:32:23
And again, these are, you know, spread out
Alexa Avilés
0:32:27
across agencies.
Jasniya Sanchez
0:32:28
Yes.
0:32:29
But they do belong to Moia.
Alexa Avilés
0:32:31
Got it.
0:32:31
Okay.
0:32:32
That's that's very helpful.
0:32:34
And in terms of the roles of the 6, staff members that are under Moya's purview, direct purview.
0:32:43
Those are the labels who provide can you can you just run through those 6?
Jasniya Sanchez
0:32:47
So under the mayor's office line, currently, we have The commissioner's line, our chief of staff, our deputy commissioner of External Affairs, our assistant commissioner of External Affairs and our Director of communications.
0:33:12
And then the 6th line listed there, you know, is currently being utilized at another mayor or old office.
Alexa Avilés
0:33:20
Great.
0:33:21
And so for the in terms of all the other positions, can you provide us a budget with those positions on a crosswalk.
Jasniya Sanchez
0:33:36
Sorry.
0:33:37
I had it on mute.
0:33:39
Under the p s Give me one sec.
0:33:45
I can give you the the breakdown.
0:33:51
For the mayor's office.
0:33:53
Right?
0:33:54
For those six lines mentioned were for FY 24 were budgeted for 70742,787.
0:34:09
For DSS, for those lines, 11 lines were budgeted for 9 0488.
0:34:21
And then for decays for those 43 lines, we have $2936,031 in PS.
Alexa Avilés

0:34:36
And the Q And A position,
Jasniya Sanchez
