0:43:23
Yeah.
0:43:23
He's he's, like, a really good guy.
0:43:25
And you go to him.
0:43:26
He he's my constituent.
0:43:29
He lives right near my DO, and he is used to work for the mayor's office.
0:43:32
He does a great job as the borough commissioner, and he sometimes is a a great first stop, sometimes a last stop as well because he's a he's a closer.
0:43:45
And so you should tell Alfonso that I mentioned him.
0:43:48
Okay.
0:44:06
Oh, and we're joined by Councilman Ressler.
0:44:11
Very happy to have him here.
0:44:15
If I hid his hair, I'd be governor but that's another story.
0:44:24
Usually I make a lot of notes here.
0:44:41
Yeah.
0:44:42
On on no.
0:44:43
My page isn't qualified.
0:44:45
And my page doesn't page of my testimony doesn't doesn't connect with your page because DP was nice enough to give me, like, a large print version of your testimony.
0:44:59
But this has to do with citywide Blue Belt locations.
0:45:07
And you've indicated in your statement where there's no obvious parks, you know, partnership.
0:45:14
DEP looks for other city owned and vacant land opportunities.
0:45:19
And I was just wondering how sort of structured that was.
0:45:24
Is is this, like, an ongoing initiative, or is there some sort of metric that they use or some sort of specified, you know, periodic outreach to do this?
0:45:40
I just wondered about, like, the mechanics of how those interactions with, you know, other city owned or or or vacant land opportunities.
0:45:53
How does that how does that work?
