Good afternoon.

We will now hear testimony from the administration.

Before we begin, I'll administer the affirmation.

Panelists, if you could raise your right hand, I will read the affirmation once and then ask each of you individually to respond.

Council Staff

Do you affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in your testimony before this committee and to respond honestly to council members'questions?

Council Staff

I do.

Council Staff

Thank you.

As a reminder for all of our witnesses, if you could please state your name prior to testimony for the record.
