You know, we talked about curbside waste at the street cleanliness hearing that chair Brayu had earlier this month.

Can you talk a little bit more about you know, what you've been seeing in terms of drop offs at Garage 3 and with the Waldoon Avenue site, it is absolutely a a continued need on Staten Island since we don't have eCycle.

And can you just give us those budget lines that you may need to kinda continue at FY 24 levels

So lot cleaning was pegged at a headcount of 15 sanitation workers.
1:00:50
And then the combination of TNT and the other cleaning programs was a total of 94.
1:00:58
So between the 2 initiatives, it was a 109 sanitation workers taken in the pig.

Well, I appreciate those answers.

I think that these programs are mission critical for DSNY.

You've done phenomenal work with them, and I think that we as a counsel should do what we can to make sure you CONTINUE TO DO THAT GREAT WORK.
