Good.
1:07:16
Love to hear if any of that feedback was integrated into any new iteration or not.
1:07:22
In terms of the Office of Immigrant Affairs, the preliminary plan includes 336,000 for five time, full time positions in fiscal twenty six.
1:07:32
Are these positions designated to Moya or are they new staffing who will cover DYCD immigrant related services?
Keith Howard
1:07:41
Although I would love to have additional staff, but that doesn't reflect in our headcount.
Alexa Avilés
1:07:48
So are they belong to Moya?
Keith Howard
1:07:50
Those are Moya's, yeah.
Alexa Avilés
1:07:52
Okay.
Keith Howard
1:07:54
I'll talk to commissioner Castro.
Alexa Avilés
1:07:59
Yeah.
1:08:00
And I guess for the record, we'd like to understand the details on the roles and responsibilities for those positions.
Keith Howard
1:08:07
So I I I will refer to commissioner Castro.
