  And on the agenda for discussion, the City Department

  of Utilities' long -running high school summer

  student program. For nearly 20 years, the Department
• 2:16
  of Utilities has hired Sacramento teens for paid
• 2:20
  summer work across water, drainage, wastewater,

  engineering, and lab services. The program was
• 2:27
  paused during the pandemic and again last year
• 2:29
  for budget reasons. Only six students were hired
