Absolutely.
1:16:20
Okay.
1:16:20
And then just back to the KPMG, which council member Wressler was asking about.
1:16:26
So this is KPMG both for the working on the contracts to do with the migrants as well as the borough based jails?
1:16:36
Is it the same different companies, I know.
Jocelyn E. Strauber
1:16:37
No.
1:16:38
K k two is the monitor for the borough based jails.
1:16:41
I know there's some similarity in in the name, but that's a separate entity.
1:16:44
KPMG is just working on the asylum seeker expenditures.
Gale Brewer
1:16:48
Got it.
1:16:49
So I assume these contracts last as long as the asylum seekers are here and in terms of the borough based jails when they get built.
1:16:56
Right?
Jocelyn E. Strauber
1:16:56
Is that how it works?
1:16:57
So the the the there there are different there are different answers for each one.
1:17:02
So the the contract with k two for the Breaux based jails, which we entered into in October of of twenty twenty three, has a term of five years.
1:17:11
Okay.
1:17:12
So and and that we'll see if that gets us through the construction or not, but that's the idea.
1:17:18
The KPMG term, I know it's been extended.
1:17:26
Let me just see if I can get you a a more precise answer on that.
1:17:30
So currently, that goes till until June of twenty twenty six.
Gale Brewer
1:17:35
Got it.
1:17:36
Okay.
1:17:36
Thank you very much.
