Okay.

I mean, I do think with all due respect, when I always hear one agency saying it's not ours, it means that all the agencies are siloed a bit, and I must say this your fault, but we need not to have a silo, and all of us is one administration, and we should be looking at it as such.
0:38:50
Because when you when you when you're assessed, you know, that huge number and you're getting such a small fraction, I'm sure that the my colleague will ask you more about that.
0:39:00
But there's something wrong with this process.
Anthony Miranda

I can definitely go into more detail in terms of the process.
0:39:04
Like it says, when we issue the 1st violations, they can have a hearing within within 5 business days or 45 days later depending on the violation.
0:39:13
Depending on which which end of the spectrum or on, after the 45 day period, they get a hearing, then they have up to 90 days before they even have to show up and request the hearing, and then they can have an adjournment or ask for an extension at which point it'll also continue past that 90 days.

So, again, this is not a silo of information.
0:39:30
It's just that other agency have their particular guidelines, time frames, for which payment and compliance are are both owed, not only owed with the other agencies as well, and that, again, is not in the sheriff's office.
0:39:41
Those time frames are legal mandates that they must comply with.
