Chair Lee on OMB conversations and additional funding needs

And then just really quickly going into some of your conversations with OMB.

So how have your conversations actually been going in terms of things that maybe didn't get put in the executive plan that perhaps can be added before the adoption of the budget of the budget?

Are there any resources that you're looking at in addition to what was added into the executive plan?

Yeah, I can say a few words and then pass it over to Aaron.

You know, at this time that we're in now, we have what we need to be able to carry out both the core public health and mental health services that New Yorkers count on us to deliver.

But we will continue working with OMB, and we're going to continue our conversations with you all at City Council to figure out how do we push even more and continue to deliver the services the New Yorkers rely on.

I'll pass it to Aaron and see if he has anything else to add.

Yeah, I think that sums it up well.

I mean, I'm in almost daily conversation with OMB, so they're very well aware of our...

Needs and are evolving considerations as an agency.

So yeah, we're in.

Okay, perfect.

Can we add to your list actually?

Because I know that there's some things I would love for you guys to take more funding on, especially related to the mental health or health programs.

So just wondering, I'm sure Chair Caban would agree with that, right?

So if you need, there's no shortage of things that we have on our end of things we would love to see in the budget, but we would love to work with you and OMB on that as well.

We'll have our pens ready to write the list down.

Okay, great.
