Clerk thank you. We have four yeses. Motion passes. Thank you, madam secretary. Please call next item, please. Clerk next item, number 20, discussion item, executive directors report. I will keep mine very short, however, i do want to point out that weve been extremely lucky since the shelter in place order. Weve been able to hire two of our t members of our Leadership Team into permanent positions. Ba do is on the reporting side, and were more than happy that bill and his team have adopted him and have assured us that they will be always available to help him be successful in his job. A second key hire that we have brought on board last month and a project that ive been working on for 15 years, and that is to get a Quality Assurance Operational Risk office started in the department, and i have been working with mr.
