Greetings everyone and welcome to today's meeting of the audit committee.

Thank you very much for being with us.

Until further notice, committee meetings will be conducted pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 54-953E, added by Assembly Bill 361, which allows the city to use teleconferencing and to provide the public an opportunity to address the committee via a call-in option or an internet-based service option.

In addition to being able to attend in person, this meeting is being televised and live streamed on the city's website.

And the committee liaison will continue to assist for the public to comment using the Zoom webinar.

Additionally, members of the public who wish to provide testimony via a call-in or internet-based services option must enter the virtual speaking cue within five minutes after the conclusion of in-person public testimony or before the virtual speaking queue is exhausted, whichever occurs first.

This will allow for better meeting management between the two platforms and ensure that the city council is able to manage and conduct city business in this committee meeting today.

As we go forward, I'll go over the specifics on how to join the webinar and will give details on how people can offer public testimony.

At this time, I will call to order the audit committee meeting of Wednesday, January 25th, 2023.

And I will now call the roll.
