Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill PR 25-0421 confirms the appointment of Ms. Thennie Freeman as the Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation. The original letter from Mayor Bowser nominating Freeman has been removed, streamlining the resolution to focus solely on the confirmation process by the Council. This matters because it simplifies the legislative process, allowing the Council to move quickly on approval without needing to reference the nomination details.
