And I'm going to call a recess so that I have <br />recused myself from the appeal hearing and our Counsel, J Yoshimoto, will also leave the <br />Council Chambers with me. <br />So, we're going to do that and I'm going to call a short recess. And Mr. Mel Ventura will take <br />over for the hearing. So, I want to thank all of you and I'll be—we will be back, J and I, once <br />the hearing is concluded. Thank you very much. <br />RECESS: The Chair called for a recess at 10:02 a.m. <br />RECONVENE: The meeting reconvened at 2:17 p.m. in open session. <br />CHR.

YOSHIMOTO: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. So, if you don't mind doing that. <br />MR. VENTURA: What does that involve? <br />CHR. CABANAS: Just for the record, saying that—well, I'm not sure. <br />MR. VENTURA: Okay. Yeah. <br />Page 3 <br />
