naomi kelly, city administrator. i thought i would just quickly go through and say that i am, too, cautiously optimistic that we'll get to a project labor agreement. both the department of public works and rec department are in support. we've seen these being done at the airport and the school district. the devil is always in the details. i'm a fierce advocate in my career of supporting minority and women-owned businesses, protecting local business enterprises, protecting local residents and making sure local residents are a part of this and protecting workers and wages and benefits. i do think we'll eventually get to a win-win situation where we're all in agreement. i want to thank supervisor peskin, safai, and fewer in leading negotiations with everyone who they've identified. i will quickly go through some areas in which we discussed around the table that we thought would be great, that we've all agreed on. one is the definition of core employees where we all agree that the core for contractors who are existing co
