Dinowitz announces testimony rules and recognizes arriving members
Dinowitz reminds witnesses to fill out witness slips, notes no votes will be taken, limits testimony to two minutes and council questions to five minutes, and acknowledges Councilmembers Linda Lee, Kevin Riley, and Farah Louis have joined.
Joe Carvajal, Senior Policy Analyst Chloe Rivera, Policy Analyst Katie Selena, Principal Financial Analyst Andrew Lane Lawless, and Financial Analyst Grace Amato for their work on today's hearing.
I would like to remind everyone who wishes to testify in person today that you must fill out a witness slip, which you can find on the desk of the Sergeant at Arms near the entrance of this room.
Please fill out the slip even if you have already registered in advance that you will be testifying in person today.
I also want to point out that we will not be voting on any legislation today.
To allow as many people as possible to testify, testimony will be limited to two minutes per person, whether you are testifying in person or on Zoom.
I am also going to ask my colleagues to limit their questions and comments to five minutes.
Please note that generally, witnesses who are here in person will testify before those who are signed into the Zoom webinar.
I would also like to note that we have been joined by Council Members Linda Lee and Kevin Riley.
As well as Councilmember Farah Lewis.
As a reminder to all of our witnesses, please state your name prior to your testimony for the record.
