Farías promises to raise statute of limitations, family court, and district attorney matters with state officials. She thanks the panel and says she appreciates expanded DOVE flexible funds and will uplift that to the Speaker's finance team.

Amanda C. Farías

I appreciate you sharing that with us.

Amanda C. Farías

I do want to, just my last two notes before I excuse you folks, there are issues that are being elevated in this hearing that are out of the city's jurisdiction that you have my commitment to uplifting

Amanda C. Farías

to the state officials and to our district attorneys, the folks that are relevant on those jurisdictional matters, whether it's statute of limitations or some of our family court custodial issues, I will absolutely uplift those.

Amanda C. Farías

And I'm really happy to hear the expanded dove funds and the flexibility that it allows.

Amanda C. Farías

I was a part of the team in my first four years in the council to fight for those expanded dove dollars for council members and the offices impacted.

Amanda C. Farías

We created a tier system for those that are unfortunately most impacted or receiving more funds to allow our groups flexibility.

Amanda C. Farías

So I appreciate hearing that and knowing that.

Amanda C. Farías

And I will uplift that also to the speakers team in the finance division.

Amanda C. Farías

But thank you folks for testifying today.
