Thank you, and thank you for your testimony.
0:23:28
So I have a few questions on appointments and staffing.
0:23:34
So commissioner prior to your appointment as chief equity officer for M0ERJ in October 2023.
0:23:40
You had already been serving as commissioner for the mayor's of equity known as MOE MO since May 2022.
0:23:47
Is that correct?
0:23:48
I think that's correct.
0:23:49
Yes.
0:23:49
That's correct.
0:23:50
Mhmm.
0:23:50
It was not until October 2023, nearly 1 year after the charter amendments took effect that the mayor formally established M0ERJ.
0:23:58
During that interim year, can you tell us about what preparations.
0:24:02
If any, the mayor's office of equity was able to undertake to prepare for MOERJ's launch.
