Thank you so much, Councilman.

Before considering these

resolutions and bills on the Final

Passage Calendar, we will have public

comment. The public comment will go as

follows:

There will be a podium placed

in the middle of the Council. You will

have three minutes to speak. We have these guidelines in place to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to speak. The bills and/or the resolutions that you speak of today must be on the Final Passage Calendar. So we ask you to please adhere to those particular rules.

At this time, Mr. Decker, can you please read the name of the first witness.
