Alderman Klee
Perfect, thank you so much, | appreciate your time.
Mayor Donchess
Anyone else? Alderwoman Lu?
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you, Mayor Donchess. The title, the company name, are they with the USDA in fact?
Mr. LaFleur
Yes, they are a subsidy of it, USDA APHIS is the name of the Company, so they are part of the USDA.
Alderwoman Lu
USDA APHIS, | see, because in the contract it said something about APHIS.
Mr. LaFleur
Yes that’s the name of their company, is APHIS but they are part of the USDA.
Alderwoman Lu
Well, but the USDA is an agency of the Federal Government isn’t it?
Mr. LaFleur
Yes.
Mr. LaFleur
They are a subcontractor below the USDA, | guess you want to say. That’s how they have always been
named every year, is USDA APHIS.
Alderwoman Lu
Right, | just wondered if they are a private enterprise?
Mr. LaFleur
| think they are funded mostly through the Government.
Alderwoman LU
Ok, thank you.
Mayor Donchess
Anyone else; could the Clerk please call the roll?
