Who had access to the contract between the host committee or FIFA in the city?

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

That was before I started, but I believe the contract was done through the, I believe, the previous administration

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

in both New Jersey and New York City and was negotiated between those two administrations and FIFA as there was.

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

I don't believe a host committee set up before the bid was awarded.

Virginia Maloney

And have you seen the contract, the details of the contract?

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

Yeah, I mean, I've seen the contract.

Virginia Maloney

And is that something you can share with the city council and the taxpayers?

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

I would probably leave that up to the city as it's...

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

Their contract.

Virginia Maloney

Was there any

Virginia Maloney

Anything unique in that contract to New York?

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

I don't think nothing that wasn't responsible for New Jersey as well.

Virginia Maloney

Or relative to other cities that were hosting FIFA?

Member of the Public - Alex Lasry

Not to my knowledge.

Virginia Maloney

All right, passing to my chair.
