CHAIRWOMAN'S REMARKS - CHAIR GARCIA  
Chair Garcia stated for the record that the Legistar program has mistakenly tagged item 11.A.  
FM-P-0059-23 on this agenda with a duplicate ID number, and the proper ID number has been  
corrected within the Legistar system to FM-P-0061-23. This has not been changed on the face of  
the agenda, due to the Open Meetings Act, but it has been corrected for the upcoming Finance  
and County Board agendas.
