Elsie Encarnación

We look forward to an open and honest conversation today's hearing, and I will now turn it back over to Chair Lee.

Linda Lee

Okay, great.

Linda Lee

So just before we start, just a couple of housekeeping rules.

Linda Lee

So as a reminder for this year's executive budget, because

Linda Lee

We have a shorter timeline.

Linda Lee

We're doing all of the public testimony on one day on Wednesday, June 10th, beginning at 9.30 a.m.

Linda Lee

So please make sure to sign up for June 10th, Wednesday, 9.30 a.m.

Linda Lee

We'll try to make it as fun and exciting all day as possible.

Linda Lee

So please come join us that day.

Linda Lee

And also, because we're pressed for time, because we have to be out of the space and we only have the translators for a certain number of hours,

Linda Lee

If members could keep their questions brief and if you guys could keep the responses as brief as possible so we can get through everything, that'd be great.

Linda Lee

And if we can keep the openings to 10 minutes, if it goes over, it's okay.

Linda Lee

But yes, okay, awesome.

Linda Lee

Thank you so much.

Linda Lee

And oh, turn over to council first, wearing it.

Council Staff

Good afternoon.

Council Staff

Do you affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth before this committee and to respond honestly to council members, Commissioner Ali?

Council Staff

Deputy Commissioner Sanchez.

Council Staff

Deputy Commissioner Lucero, you may begin.
