To obtain approval for payment to Trotsky Investigative Polygraph, Inc. for services rendered in 2021 for pre-employment polygraph assessments.

BACKGROUND:
Trotsky Polygraph is a company specializing in polygraph assessments.

Trotsky Polygraph continues to be an exceptional provider of assessments. We are approaching the $25,000 threshold for bill payments and we anticipate further use of Trotsky's services. I am requesting approval for payment to Trotsky Polygraph for their ongoing assessment services through the end of the year.
