Council Member Brewer on SCRIE/DRIE increase and implementation

Thank you, Chair.

Thanks, Comrade Brewer.

Thank you.

Good luck with that.

Thank you.

They all put, I know them all, they put their uncle, their brother, their sister in there pretty regularly.

I know most of the buildings.

I have a question about scree and dree.

First of all, thank you to Rita Jen, who comes to our office often and helps with that issue, as well as other staff.

So scree and dree, obviously, thank you to the state, $75,000, up from $50,000.

So how it goes to the council, goes to you, how is that going to be implemented, how are people going to know about it, et cetera?

On the screen injury increase.

So I'll actually refer to City Hall and OMB on that action.

We are going to be monitoring it, but this is a budget, largely a budget action.

And so we'll have to defer a little bit to OMB.

Okay, so in other words, you won't have anything to do with it until you actually have to implement it.

Well, yeah, well, local law is required for the...

I know that.

It goes to council.

I know.

But I'm just thinking, in the end, you're the one that does it.

Yes.

So implementation-wise, yes.

But we're, again, going to look...

It depends how long that's going to take or...

In terms of implementation, I mean, the implementation...

They're anxious, very anxious.

They love it.

The internal implementation, I can sort of get back to you on what that will entail.

We already run the program, so I can't imagine it will be that much more.

Of a change.

So I'm less worried about the implementation.

It's really a matter of local law adoption.

And so once a decision is made, we will simply go ahead and administer it.

And I'm pretty confident that we'll be able to administer it very quickly.
