How much revenue has been generated from composting fines since enforcement began?
0:42:09
Or at least up until before it was suspended?
Javier Lojan
0:42:13
So we do not directly collect any revenue.
0:42:16
The revenue generated from the fines is monitored and tracked by the Department of Finance.
Shaun Abreu
0:42:22
So you don't have that that detail?
Javier Lojan
0:42:24
No.
0:42:25
No.
0:42:25
I mean, so when we issued the summonses, they averaged from $25 to a hundred dollars.
0:42:29
So, you know, if we just do a math I think was it 3,000?
0:42:35
Were 4,000 summonses.
0:42:36
So I mean if we
Shaun Abreu
0:42:37
So 4,000 times 20?
Javier Lojan
0:42:38
Yeah.
0:42:39
Twenty 25 to 100 in average.
Shaun Abreu
0:42:40
Okay.
0:42:40
Well, we can do that math.
