thank you, chair mar. so the proposed resolution states that it would authorize the department of public health to provide a grant of $350,000 to edgewood center for children and family services for a 90-day period so that the organization may continue to operate. the grant moneys will be sourced from prior appropriations from the city's contract with edgewood, and as the presentation stated, they have sought board approval to issue this grant because the board doesn't issue grants for this purpose, so for that reason, we consider this to be a policy issue for the board. >> chair mar: colleagues, before we go to public comment, would either of you have any questions or remarks? okay. why don't we go to public comment. so i have a number of speaker cards that have been submitted. if you hear your name called, please step up to the right side of the room and step up to the microphone. jessica anderson, kerrie kirby, chris bigs, chris rivers, michelle mcgriff, and nate lennox. first speaker, please. >> hi. my

in the 1990's, the same group of women began sending rovers to mars. by the late 1990's, after careers of 40 years to 50 years at nasa, most of the group was ready to retire. in 2013, i held a reunion of this group of women at the jpl and it was such a remarkable experience to get to be in the lab with them and share their memories firsthand. -- hear their memories firsthand. i was surprised how much of their history had been forgotten by nasa. one is the story of sue finley, who was hired in 1958 by macy roberts before nasa was officially formed. she still works there today. she is nasa's longest-serving female employee. in 2004, nasa made a new administrative rule that if you do not hold an advanced degree, you cannot have the title of engineer. so that title that sue worked so hard to get in 1969 was taken away from her and she was demoted. despite this, even though she went to school at a time when women were not generally allowed in engineering schools, she loves her job and working at jpl and so i wanted to write this book to tell the history of
