Council Member Chris Banks raises issues with using the calculate maximum prices tool on the DSNY website and asks for clarification on the rollout schedule. Deputy Commissioner Neil Eisenberg explains the tool's functionality and provides information on the rollout plan.
- The TBD response on the tool indicates that the zone is not yet active.
- The tool can still be used to estimate maximum pricing based on set criteria.
- A plan for the schedule and order of implementation was released, with further schedules to be announced after the Bronx East and West rollout.

Okay.
1:18:27
Thank you.
1:18:27
Thank you for that.
1:18:28
Lastly, I attempted to use the calculate maximum prices tool on your website, but when I entered several addresses into it, the response that I received was TBD, this zone has not yet been scheduled for rollout.
1:18:47
Can you clarify what this means in practical terms for businesses in these areas and when they expect the rollout to begin and how will they be notified when it's time to select a new quarter and enter into a new agreement.

I'll pass it on to Deputy Commissioner Eisenberg.
Neil Eisenberg
1:19:09
Thanks, Councilmember.
1:19:10
So the tool that you refer Thanks, referring

to, the address search
Neil Eisenberg
1:19:15
Okay.
1:19:15
Identifies the zones that are active.
1:19:17
So the TBD just refers to the fact that the zone is not active or alive.
1:19:21
But you can still use the the maximum price calculating tool to get an estimate of the pricing based upon the maximum pricing based upon your set of criteria.
1:19:30
So the tool is still usable for people in the zone so they could preemptively learn about what pricing would be for them when those zones are rolled out.
1:19:38
Yeah.
1:19:38
Regarding the schedule, I think we today we released a plan for when the schedule and the order of implementation.
1:19:46
And as the commissioner had testified earlier that we will be once we do the Bronx East and West is rolled out, then we will release further schedules thereafter.
Chris Banks
