Okay, I'd like to call up our next panel before we move on to virtual panelists.

Amanda C. Farías

I will recall Sherry Yvette Barnett, if you're in the room, Kavita Mehran, and Christopher Johnson.

Amanda C. Farías

As you folks are coming up to testify, as a reminder, there's three minutes to testify.

Amanda C. Farías

All testimony must be relevant to today's hearing on examining the restructure of the mayor's office to end domestic and gender-based violence under the Office of Community Safety.

Amanda C. Farías

If remarks stray from the subject matters, the speakers will be reminded of the topic and asked to refocus their comments for myself up here as chair.

And if you want to submit any additional testimony or elongated testimony, you can do that within 72 hours at testimony at council.msc.gov.

And you may begin when ready.
