Does anyone in the audience want to address the commission at this point on this item . There we go. Please state your name for the record. I am Patrick Josiah bell with the bay view on his area. I am really opposed to the city bill and compliance. I have asked them about who does the compliant compliance for the hiring for the minority.

First of all, i do want to thank city build and all of the other different agencies that Work Together to do this training and Workforce Development an
