Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Sachs, you mentioned there was $12 million in professional contracts, and I'm assuming professional contracts are consultants. I'd like to understand how you assess the need for a professional contract. Did you look at the cost comparison between hiring staff, or did you just determine that you didn't have the expertise and that, therefore, you needed to bring in a professional contract? Is it reasonable that many departments probably go through the same thing when they are forced by necessity to bring in professional contracts?
