5:48Hearing and seeing none, would someone be willing to move to go into closed on that one for me?

5:56Alton Guller, thank you so much. Anything further on that?

6:01No, okay, I'll call the vote.

6:03Is anyone against moving into closed on those two items?

6:07That's nobody, so that's unanimous. Thank you very much.

6:11So for those in the room who are watching online, we are going to just take some time to deal with those two issues in a closed session.

6:19And then we will come back out. I will always give a high level summary.

6:25But we will do the high level summary and do all of that at the two o'clock start meeting for the public portion of our agenda. Okay, so thank you so much.

6:34Okay, I'd like to call the open session meeting to order if I could have my friends online.
