oulICllch program, ii was never inlended IO be anything else. He noted lluu he understands there is so me
confusion and some question about what ii is lhcy are up IO and thal be hopes he bas allayed some of lhose
fcaB as he has shared wilh Council their inl<ntions for that program . Mr. Bernard shared copies or the
