This past April and then again in this past this past Friday, we received updates from Mark Jay regarding the points of agreement which was originally created in 2019.
3:36:22
Upon reviewing the document, I have questions concerning the methodology as well as regarding the points themselves.
3:36:29
So the most recent update does not include any financial or dollar amounts for the points listed, but you have assured the council that you're working on it.
3:36:39
So can we when can we expect to see funding amounts in these updates?
Nora Daniel
3:36:48
Can get that to you at the at the next update.
3:36:51
We usually update them annually, and so we can add that add that to the next update.
3:36:58
And if you there's anything you'd like to see sooner or anything we can provide to you, we're happy to do so.
Yusef Salaam
3:37:05
And what was the methodology when creating this document?
3:37:07
Are these updates a collection of responses from each individual agency or did mock j compile these updates on on your own?
3:37:16
And did the individual agencies report their status?
3:37:20
Status complete, status ongoing, status done with ongoing work or was that determined by Mock J itself?
Nora Daniel
3:37:29
Just to update my answer, we're we're committing to updating the monthly now, the POAs.
3:37:34
And we worked with each agency to determine what the status of the specific POA was and then assigned a and then we work with them to to make sure that it was accurate in terms of how it's described.

3:37:55
One of the points listed on the Mach J is the is this document is in this document rather is to publicly track progress on commitments.
3:38:07
The 2025 update states that Mach J is committed to providing regular updates both in person and online.
3:38:13
Considering that the April 25 update was the first update posted since 02/2002 and then we received the following update within a month, how often should we expect updates in the future and if this was a priority for mock j, why is it three years before we received our first update?
Nora Daniel
3:38:32
So we did have some staffing challenges in terms of some continuity issues, but we are now committed to updating them on a monthly basis.
