Are you a % now responsible for their enforcement or are you working with consumer?
1:32:07
How does that work?
Javier Lojan
1:32:08
So we we are, responsible overseeing that.
1:32:13
We don't oversee any vendors, that are involved in any kind of counterfeit vending.
1:32:20
That's under the purview of NYPD still.
1:32:23
And we are currently not inside any parks.
1:32:25
That's still under the purview of parks department.
1:32:27
So
Gale A. Brewer
1:32:27
it's mostly the food vendors part primarily then?
Javier Lojan
1:32:29
Correct.
Gale A. Brewer
1:32:30
Okay.
1:32:30
And that's a % your issue.
1:32:32
Because sometimes there's a dispute as to whether two people need to be on two different, tables, etcetera.
1:32:40
So I do I just you should know that there's a lot of discussion about we still have to get some of these rules to be correct.
