CABANAS: "Statements from the Public" on agenda itemsorally testimony may be <br />presented to the Board either at the outset of this meeting or immediately prior to the applicable <br />agenda item. <br />Due to time constraints from our Deputy Attorney General, Amanda Furman, she has asked that <br />we take up Number 5 on the agenda—"Communications"—out of order. And so, I just need to <br />check with my fellow Board members, are there any objections for take out—take up <br />"Communications" at this time? <br />MS. MATHEWS: No. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Kate, it's okay with you? <br />MS. DE SOTO: No objection. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. So, there are no objections, for the record. So, we will go straight to <br />"Communications." <br />For the record, are there any statements from the public on this matter? I don't see anyone that <br />has any statements to provide the Board, so we will continue. <br />10:00 A.M.
