marsha bell from the law library. i have a very brief presentation. i have given you some hand out materials. they address our mission and highlights of our services, and rather than go through them at this time i thought i would focus on the budget. our budget is essentially nearly the same. there are no changes in position numbers. there are no new projects. there are no additional service from other departments. the increase is basically attributable to the services of other departments such as real estate and dt and risk management as well as salary and mandatory fringe. i am happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> colleagues any questions? okay. and we don't have a budget analyst report so short but brief. thank you. unless there is anything else to add? no. that's fine and i assume that we're excused next week? >> yes. >> okay. thank you very much. >> okay thank you. up next we have the fire department. as we're getting ready for members of the public we're going to break at 1:00 o'clock to 130 for a lunch break today. >> mr. chair g
