Thank you, chairs, and thank you for your testimony today.

My first question centers around return on the city's investment.

Has the city formally requested the $1 million legacy contribution from FIFA?

Selvena N. Brooks-Powers

If it is paid, will the city commit to investing it in soccer pitches or youth programs?
