<p class="MsoNormal">My name is Anne O’Brien, and I’m a Senior Performance Analyst with the City of Chicago Office of Inspector General. OIG is conducting an audit of the Department of Streets and Sanitation’s Bureau of Rodent Control, and we’re hoping to align
our audit objectives with the issues most important to residents. I’m reaching out to ask if we could meet with CCGA to hear your members’ perspectives on City rat abatement services, alternative pest management strategies, and any other topics of interest
for community gardeners across Chicago. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My project partner Amy (cc’d) and I would be glad to come to in-person meetings, speak over video call, or whatever would be most convenient. Thank you for your consideration and please feel free to give me a call at (773) 478-2333 if I
can answer any questions.<o:p></o:p></p>
