Chair Abreu thanks committee staff
Abreu thanks committee staff including Jaleesa Quigley, Theodore Miller, Sierra Townsend, Kevin Katowski, John Bazile, Sarah Swain, Natalie Meltzer, and gives a special farewell to principal financial analyst Adrian Jipal.
Before I hand it over to my colleagues to speak on their bills, I would like to thank my staff and the committee staff for their hard work in preparing for today's hearing.
Jaleesa Quigley, my Deputy Chief of Staff, Theodore Miller and Sierra Townsend, Councils to the Committee, Kevin Katowski and John Bazile, Senior Policy Analysts of the Committee, and Sarah Swain and Nat.
Natalie Meltzer, staff to the Committee on Consumer Worker Protection, who have been instrumental in developing the Council's outdoor dining legislation.
I'd also like to give a special thanks to Adrian Jipal, who has been the principal financial analyst of the committee for
several years for his commitment, savvy, and unfailing good humor in working to better this committee, the council, and our city.
Adrian, thank you for your service and good luck in your next endeavor.
We miss your bow ties.
I will now pass it over to my colleagues to speak on their bills, starting with Councilmember
Gail Brewer.
