Dear Councilors, In support of agenda item 5 for the upcoming May Council meeting, please find attached an updated briefing document prepared in collaboration with Council leadership and staff. The new text is captured in green. As you review the document, you will see that the proposed path forward takes into account the additional option shared by Tapani on the Council list. While it is helpful for you all to review the updated document, note that Jennifer Chung will manage this agenda item and share a brief presentation during the meeting.
