Look, at a hearing last year with ONB director, you know, it was very clear that there was no need for more additional funding for composting education and the council argued that there was a need.

And the reason the administration stopped defining was because voters were confused.

So when a voter is confused, that means that they need education and they need more outreach beyond existing resources.

Clearly, the existing resources were not enough.

And so it is at least our position that we need to to discuss what that projected cost is gonna look like beyond existing resources.

I'm gonna now pivot to DSNY's cleaning efforts and and then I'll let my colleagues ask a few questions.
