Gennaro notes the Council created an Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability and an Office of Resiliency in the mayor's office. He asks how BCR works with that office.

James F. Gennaro

Here's a question.

James F. Gennaro

You know, when I...

James F. Gennaro

I, you know, the council created in the law the Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability and also created an Office of Resiliency in the mayor's office.

James F. Gennaro

So we've got an office of resiliency just sitting over in the mayor's office, and I've got no one to blame but myself for creating it in law.

James F. Gennaro

And so they're over there.

James F. Gennaro

You're over at Lefrak.

James F. Gennaro

And so how does that work?

James F. Gennaro

How do you work in...

James F. Gennaro

Collaboration or whatever, because they're going to say, you know, like we're the original, you know, like we're the original, you know, resiliency person going back to like Dan Zerilli, you know, and so, so they're like thumping their chest saying like, we were here first.
