    Good morning, Commissioner. Sally Sherman, Deputy County Administrator for Development Services. I come before you this morning asking for your confirmation of Mr. Patrick Errington as a code compliance director. under development services. This is a new position within the branch. We use some of our existing positions to look at this. As you know, over the course of the past few years there has been

    an ongoing dialogue with regard to co-compliance in all areas. This is an opportunity for us to bring co-compliance related um departments or areas under one umbrella as it relates to the budget preparation and management, contract management. There's a plethora of contracts that we deal with. General business operation, and most importantly to look at process improvements and how are

    we looking at code related issues and how can we improve on our response, how can we improve on our documentation and focus on excellence and customer service while we're doing that. If you have any questions, Mr. Errington is present here with us this morning and I'd be more than happy to see if you would want to have him do an introduction.
