Sure.
0:23:31
Thank you so much.
0:23:32
I don't have the breakdown of which are the positions within enforcement, but certainly an enforcement team is with the inspectors.
0:23:38
Right?
0:23:38
You're familiar with this as as former commissioner of our agency, where they are the ones out going, doing inspections of the businesses and responding to complaints every day.
0:23:49
So we are constantly hiring on inspectors.
0:23:53
It is a process that we are engaging almost every day with our leadership within the agency.
0:24:00
So I would say that that number probably fluctuates a lot throughout the year.
0:24:05
This is as of February of this year.
0:24:07
It's very possible that it's already changed.
0:24:09
But the the plan is to continue the process of hiring.
0:24:13
We're constantly also looking at where we are sending the inspectors.
0:24:18
We have a cadence that we follow for different types of businesses that we either license or we regulate in one way or another.
0:24:26
So the plan is to continue with the hiring, not just with these vacancies but for others.
0:24:31
As you know, we received those 21 new lines, so we're very excited to start engaging in that work.
0:24:36
And I know that the team has also shared those vacancies to all of the members so they can help us also promote them.
Julie Menin
0:24:43
Is what
Carlos Ortiz
0:24:44
would yeah.
0:24:44
Would just wanted to add to that that some of those I think some of the vacancies in the in the enforcement division do reflect that we received new lines thanks to your advocacy.
0:24:52
And so those those did push up our vacancy numbers a little bit, but we're working now to active actively hire
Julie Menin
0:24:59
those too.
