Feliz questions Tisch and Ryan on World Cup overtime costs
Feliz asks about projected overtime for the World Cup week. Tisch and Ryan project $35-42M for July 1-7, approximately $73M total for all overlapping events, with $12.4M for equipment and $6.5M for drones, totaling $92M against $71M currently budgeted.
Approximately how many police officers would this apply to?
You said a vast majority.
Would you say more than 80%?
80, 90?
I don't want to give an actual...
percentage, what I can say is that the chief of department is going to issue guidance.
to each bureau and once we have that guidance, we will let your office know what percentage it applied to.
How much overtime is projected for that week of the World Cup?
Can you give the numbers?
Well, for the World Cup or the July 1st to July 7th?
Because like, remember, we've got
July 4th, Sail 250, which is like the president's military parade in New York City.
NBA Finals, World Cup, all as potentially Taylor Swift's wedding.
I'm kidding.
But all as...
Overlapping events in New York City between June 11th and July 19th.
Any one of those on their own would be a big deal in New York City.
All of them taken together are unprecedented and are going to place
unusual and I would say historic demands on the New York City Police Department.
So Christine, can you go through the July 1st to July 7th, what that dollar value projection is, and then also for the World Cup specifically?
So these projections are preliminary, but for the July 1st through July 7th, our projection order of magnitude is that will cost between $35 to $42 million for that period.
overall for FIFA and the and sale 250 so this entire time of all of these overlapping events
we believe over time is projected about 73 million on top of that obviously there's equipment that the department needs to make sure that we're able to keep everything safe secure and also manage the crowds that's 12.4 million
and then there's 6.5 million for drone equipment so in total the estimate right now is 92 million dollars the good news is that the budget that you've all looked at already really accounts for on the city side
about $50 million, and then there's another $21 million in federal funding.
So there's $71 million that we're accounting for.
All the federal funding's not quite reflected yet, but that does leave a shortfall of about $20 to $21 million based on projections.
I will just add that the federal government slash FIFA did not give us nearly enough money to cover the overtime bill on the New York City Police Department.
Christine, how much did people give us?
$14 million?
So they gave us $14.6 for the overtime, toward overtime, and $6.5 for counter-drone equipment.
We are having conversations about potentially getting more, but that's not determined yet.
