+2. Before you claim or start working on an issue, please make sure you have read our [How to Contribute to Hack for LA Guide](https://github.com/hackforla/website/blob/7f0c132c96f71230b8935759e1f8711ccb340c0f/CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+### Overview
+We need to resolve the new alert [(${alertId})](https://github.com/hackforla/website/security/code-scanning/${alertId}) and either recommend dismissal of the alert or update the code files to resolve the alert.
+
+### Action Items
+- [ ] The following action item serves to "link" this issue as the "tracking issue" for the CodeQL alert and to provide more details regarding the alert: https://github.com/hackforla/website/security/code-scanning/${alertId}
+- [ ] In a comment in this issue, add your analysis and recommendations.  The recommendation can be one of the following: `dismiss as test`, `dismiss as false positive`, `dismiss as won't fix`, or `update code`.  An example of a `false positive` is a report of a JavaScript syntax error that is caused by markdown or liquid symbols such as `---` or `{%`
+- [ ] **If the recommendation is to dismiss the alert:**
+  - [ ] Apply the label `ready for dev lead` 
+  - [ ] Move the issue to `Questions/In Review`
+- [ ] **If the recommendation is to update code:**
+  - [ ] Create an issue branch and proceed with the code update
+  - [ ] Test using docker to ensure that there are no changes to any affected webpage(s)
+  - [ ] Proceed with pull request in the usual manner
+
+### Resources/Instructions
