So the 5 lines that we currently have right now, 4 of which are posted we are and we're waiting actually just on a to clarify what the title is gonna be for the the civil service title for the last 1.
2:00:10
We will have a senior legislative aid that will specifically work on charter mandate number 5.
2:00:16
We are adding a community community organizing and engagement associate that's specifically gonna focus on youth voice and organizing young people under the age of 25.
2:00:28
We are going to have a operation to the administration associate.
2:00:32
That person will play the role of commissioner or manager, so help me me work with all 13 and what we hope will be all 14 commissioners, making sure that all their onboarding is set.
2:00:46
They've got everything that they need for meetings, and they feel ready and prepared to come to a conversation.
2:00:53
At a commission meeting either to make decisions or provide guidance.
2:00:57
We are adding a communications associate who's gonna help increase what right now is organic growth across all social media platforms, but also allow us to get creative and really work with community to better understand and promote how they see race what it is that they want to see racial racial how racial equity will grow in government.
2:01:22
We are also adding an associate for our research and policy team, and that person gonna work with our current director to ensure that we are doing the work around both the preliminary and the final plan for the assess investment, but also that we're developing community equity profiles that will do analysis of the equity priorities that we have and be able to provide long term support to tracking change relating to the equity priorities that the city of New York has identified through core.

Okay.

As you were speaking, I was thinking you should consult my colleague, council member, Chi Osse, because I will say he has done a really good job of getting messages across platforms in ways in which resonate with that demographic And I also noticed with his page and and other pages, I was at a conference and I met a young woman who is essentially tactless as a political influencer.
2:02:31
And so she has tons of followers and, like, specifically focuses on getting in this case, voting information out to younger demographics.
2:02:42
And so I appreciate your foresight there because they're is almost an industry for that on social media in in very unique targeted ways to get sound bites information factual information out to literally under age 25.
2:03:00
There was a whole panel on that of under age 25.
2:03:03
In this case, thankfully, they were in the room experts talking about their work.
2:03:08
So that's awesome that you're doing that and encourage you to tap into, like, this whole little world of influencers and individual who are focused on this specifically.
2:03:25
So the next question I have are about your resources.
2:03:33
So FY 25 2025 executive OTPS budget reflects $85, 000 decrease compared to the FY 2024 adopted budget.
2:03:47
Do you believe this decrease accurately reflects Core's projected needs for FY 25?
2:03:52
I think you talked extensively about what you feel are your projected needs.
2:03:56
So I'm gonna guess that it isn't, but I'd love to hear from you.
2:04:00
And can you tell us, you know, why why not?
