my name is valerie coleman. i'm a program annalist with dos. i will give the council updates. they met july 12th. there was an update on the dignity fund from melissa mcgee. they had a retreat in june. the second item was discussing retreat next steps and what they want to do with that information. it was focused on looking on the mission, the vision, policy goals and strategies moving forward. so they're continuing to digest that and figure out the next steps. the next stop i can was around, we got a budget update. we got a city wide budget update and analysis from dan kaplan, as well as a dos-specific update from shireen mcspadden. we had a presentation from michael blecker around the challenges we know the v.a. system and how that effects older adults. the presentation, and all the information, is available on the long-term care coordinating council's website. including minutes, agenda, other things like that. so if folks would like to review you can look at that and contact me directly. do you have any questions? >> thank you, valerie. any comments or questions? >> any com
