And has a cabinet identified short and long term goals to address?
1:21:21
Yeah.
1:21:22
I assume that's part of the regular, yeah, agenda and program.
1:21:25
Okay.
1:21:26
Do you have any of those goals that you might be able to share and how they were established?
Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez
1:21:31
Well, the one goal is to make sure that all NYC public schools have an aging guide and curriculum.
1:21:43
Another another goal is to in every night shift facility, create an intergenerational team because if we're looking at community building, that's of that's future.
1:21:57
The other one is looking at transportation and transportation deserts and pedestrian safety.
1:22:03
The big one is around public safety and working very closely as we have trained the police officers who are the liaisons and to continue that work and then to continue even other officers in precincts that may not be the community officer.
1:22:20
They may have an expert, but then, you know, training other officers.
1:22:24
So that's a a long term vision.
