The New York City Economic Development Corporation acknowledges the complex jurisdictional boundaries around aviation regulations.
- The law department is reviewing the proposed legislation to understand the jurisdictional boundaries.
- The Economic Development Corporation values its relationship with the city council in addressing quality of life issues.
- For the legal analysis of the bills, the EDC defers to the law department's review.

Do you if you know, do you think that the city council is the appropriate venue to deal with these issues?

I I think it's sort of ties back to the chair's comment about the legislation currently before the committee.

The law department has been, you know, working closely reviewing this legislation to really understand the jurisdictional boundaries because aviation is such a a complex structure.

And so, you know, we obviously value the the relationship that we have with the council in terms of addressing quality of life issues.

But for the actual, like, legal analysis, of all of the the different bills that are before you today, we'd have to defer to the lot department.

As chair of the committee on economic development, that oversees the EDC where all these hall of courts are municipal our property.

I'd like to say it is under our jurisdiction to have oversight of this.
