Do we approve them one at a time or can we make an aggregate?

7:06 – 7:38•Reynold Martin, Sr.

Madam Chair. I also invited someone from Thelma Gibson Health Initiative here. And if you're willing, they can explain to you what their program is all about and how they serve. Yes, it's on. Can you hear me? And how they service both the Coconut Grove and the South Miami communities. They're prepared to present something so they will understand exactly who they are and what their needs might be. But I think that they will be a perfect recipient for some of the monies that's available for distribution by city commission.
