Yeah, I would say Yeah, go ahead.
1:19:19
In terms of the outreach team wise, there's five folks on that team.
1:19:24
We don't have like particular contracts necessarily with providers that facilitate outreach.
1:19:28
All the outreach we do is on our own with our partners in the communities.
1:19:31
And then we do have literature that we've developed that did have a cost and we update periodically.
1:19:38
We have our consumer typical gift for immigrants.
1:19:40
We have the consumer bill of rights for immigration service providers.
1:19:44
So that's kind of all existing in house, and we can figure out the numbers for you there.
1:19:47
In terms of this bill two zero five, which we are supportive of, I anticipate and I think your your the central staff should have these numbers already, but it's about 1,700,000.0 we would anticipate in new budget.
1:20:00
That is around 680,000 that is that is new staff, in particular an outreach coordinator, somebody to develop contacts with ethnic media channels for example, procurement for the advertising campaign, two folks to work on complaint intake systems and reporting analysis to help guide our eventual reporting as well as enforcement.
1:20:25
And how many

people would that be?
Carlos Ortiz
1:20:27
That's five people.
Shahana Hanif
1:20:28
Additional five.
Carlos Ortiz
1:20:29
That's an additional five.
1:20:30
Yes.
1:20:30
And then in terms of the OTPS for the advertising campaign, we anticipate based on the prescription that is in the bill that that's close upwards of a million dollars.
1:20:38
With TV ads alone being around 500,000, if we wanna also consider subway ads, bus shelters, all these things, I think that's where the OTPS would land if we if the bill would be passed as is.
1:20:49
I think for that reason, we've wanted to highlight that there are these are these are budget realities that we have to face, so I think we're in support of the bill and wanna talk through these these real numbers with you all as as we negotiate this in in redlining.
