I would like to share with each and every one of you Councilmember Jo M. Broden will not be here. Judge Broden's mother passed yesterday so we do ask for your prayers and your thoughts for the Broden family. We will now entertain any comments from our City Controller Dan Parker as we enter the third(3`d)budget hearing, which is Venues Parks & Arts. Dan Parker, City Controller with offices on the 12th floor of the County-City Building, stated, Thank you, Councilmember White.This is our third(3`d)budget hearing and it is for Venues Parks & Arts. This follows Public Works from last week. I did want to let the Council Members know that there were a multitude of questions for Public Works and so we are still compiling the written responses for the Public Works budget hearing,but we will do that,get those put together and sent out within the next several days. I just wanted to mention of that. With that, I will turn it over to Aaron Perri for Venues Parks &Arts. Aaron Perri, Executive Director of Venues Parks & Arts with offices located at 301 South St. Louis Boulevard, stated, Thank you Dan, and thanks for all your work that your office is putting into this process. I appreciate it. In the packet in front of you(which is available in the City Clerk's Office),we'll go through a presentation that we've been able to put together. A few weeks ago, we talked about our current accomplishments and some of our ongoing goals, so today will be primarily about the numbers, as I believe it was the intention of the Committee meeting. But, I would just like to underscore a few things regarding where we're heading next year. We're going to really near the finish line of the My SB Parks & Trails Initiative. I think everyone received a save the date for the Howard Park grand reopening happening on November 29th.
