is critical to the identification and development of persistent non-support cases and the Legal
Assistant II (temporary) position will provide the pazalegal support for this project.

"Create positions...for which appropriations have been made by the Council."
There was no discussion on this measure.
Your Committee on Finance is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 278-06
