- Budget for OACs is projected to decrease from $235.7 million in fiscal 2025 to $177.7 million in fiscal 2026
- Commissioner is unable to provide detailed answers about specific allocations and impacts
- Conversations with OMB are described as transparent and responsible

But I know the responses are different.
1:25:32
I get that.
1:25:38
Just trying to find a question that I think you'll be able to answer.
1:25:51
Okay.
1:25:52
Maybe about the the budgets for OM for OACs, excuse me.
1:25:56
In the adopted plan from OMB documents, we see $235,700,000 is included for OA c's in fiscal 2025.
1:26:05
Under budget codes, 5300 and CR 2, this funding drops considerably to a 177,700,000 in fiscal 2026 and then a 164,200,000 in fiscal's 2728.
1:26:19
Can you confirm if this is the full current budget for OACs and if not, what other units of appropriation and budget codes include OAC funding?
1:26:27
And is it isolated or does it also include other programs?

So the fiscal cliff is part of the public record.
1:26:34
And what I described earlier is the conversations that we have around how to best address that fiscal cliff for the old for NYCAG.
Crystal Hudson

Okay.
1:26:54
Bear with me one second here.
1:27:07
Okay.
1:27:08
I'm gonna move to data.
1:27:09
You're gonna go to data?
Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez
