Budget cuts have impacted some life safety projects but not facade projects at the moment.

  • The current budget cuts did impact some life safety projects.
  • The budget cuts did not impact any of the facade projects at this moment.
  • Efforts are being made to avoid putting up scaffolding and address unsafe conditions during capital projects.

Is there could you and could you just speak to the capital budget cuts?

Does that have any impact on facade and roof projects that mean scaffolding will be up for longer periods of time.

Right right now, we're we're working on it.

The the budget cuts right now did impact some of our life safety projects, but it didn't impact any of our facade projects at this moment.

So you don't believe that any of the $1,000,000,000 in cuts of the decast capital plan will lead to scaffold to being up for indefinitely period longer period than
Joseph Wagner

I know.
1:16:01
Because I'm trying to work hard on trying to not put scaffolding up as I do the inspections and get the at least the unsafe condition taken care of to do the capital project.
1:16:12
In the meantime, I don't have to put scaffolding up.
1:16:15
Okay.
1:16:15
That should be working very hard.
1:16:17
I have somebody working very hard on that, and we seem to be really following through pretty good on that.
Lincoln Restler
1:16:23
Well, that is helpful progress.
1:16:25
We're happy to hear it.
1:16:28
Thank you very much.
1:16:30
And we'll look forward to having a celebration when the work is done in the book a municipal building and a 36 Adams.
