“Thank you, Your Honor. I just want to ask a question, and I don't know if the staff could answer it.

“Thank you. My next question goes to slide 11, similar to a prior question that was asked by Alderwoman Meeks.

We're looking pre-applications, 46, 35, and only 14 about have been completed and in progress. So how is that determination from a success, and is there additional funding in there, or has all the funding kind of been eroded from those applications and what the projects are currently in…”
