Do the guards have access to, a charging station when it comes to bathroom breaks?
2:16:33
Although, those are provided.
2:16:35
Am I correct?
Lauren Gray
2:16:36
I I'd have to double check.
2:16:37
I don't know.
2:16:37
Every layout is different at night.
2:16:39
I don't know if there's electrical in every single building where there the guard is supposed to be on post or for the fire guards who are walking and patrolling the building.
2:16:47
Okay.
Chris Banks
2:16:48
Would geofencing technology and electronic timekeeping work if the fire guard if if if there are guards or they're unable to keep their devices charged?
2:17:01
We know that you need a a cell phone or to to to keep to be able to do that type of input.
2:17:09
Would it be a would that be part of requirement for the for for those guards to have somewhere where they can charge their phones?
Lauren Gray
2:17:17
I'm not too technologically savvy on the geofencing.
2:17:20
I don't know if the app can go offline, if there's no power to it, but we can explore these options when we meet with, future vendors at the NYCHA properties.
2:17:29
Alright.
