the other question is how do we end up with this model of, you know, the private sector basically having to do all of this work?
1:52:24
Is that something that you are working on extensively to think about that would cost more money to have you do some of the work that the private sector is doing.
1:52:32
Well, how do you look at that?
1:52:33
Does that come up in discussions?
1:52:35
Is there some policy change needed, etcetera?
1:52:38
What how do you answer that?
Corinne Schiff
1:52:40
So we have been implementing the the local law, which is the animal population control fund, that sets aside city funding for low cost being neutered for people who meet eligibility requirements.
1:52:56
We'd be happy to talk to you about ways to expand the animal population control fund.
