P R O C E E D I N G S

MR. STRICKLAND: I'd like to call to order a short meeting of the board of directors.

This is at Page 96 in your board books.

The first item would be approval of the agenda, which is on Pages 96 and 97 and 98.

M O T I O N

MR. FUENTES: Move approval as presented.

MR. STRICKLAND: Is there a second?

MR. DIETER: Second.

MR. STRICKLAND: Any discussion?

(No response.)

MR. STRICKLAND: All those in favor, please say aye.

(A chorus of ayes.)

MR. STRICKLAND: Those opposed, nay.

(No response.)

MR. STRICKLAND: The agenda is approved.

Item 2 on the agenda, the introduction of Helaine Barnette, we're going to hold until tomorrow morning, as well as we ask before we recess whether there's any public comment.

We'll also take up Items 5 and 6 tomorrow morning, and that moves us to Item 7.

Vic, there's no problem with us conducting some of this, the approval of the minutes, this afternoon?

MR. FORTUNO: No, not at all.

MR. STRICKLAND: That's actually listed on -- okay. Fine.

M O T I O N

MR. FUENTES: Move approval of the minutes as presented.

MR. STRICKLAND: All right, for the minutes, that's the minutes of the meeting of November 22nd, which are found at Attachment D.

Is there a second to that motion to approve the minutes?

MR. GARTEN: Second.

MR. STRICKLAND: Any discussion?

(No response.)

MR. STRICKLAND: Those in favor, say aye.

(A chorus of ayes.)

MR. STRICKLAND: Opposed, nay.

(No response.)

MR. STRICKLAND: The ayes have it, those minutes are approved.

Pat Batie has advised me that the minutes listed at Items 8 and 9 are not ready for approval, and will be presented at another occasion, so we will not be approving those minutes.

Now, with that, we're going to, in a moment, entertain a moment to recess the meeting until tomorrow morning, or at the appointed hour tomorrow. I don't know that it's first thing in the morning.

Victor, do we need to note the time? We're recessing until tomorrow. Do we have to have a specific time tomorrow?

MR. FORTUNO: No, sir. I think it's already announced in the Federal Register.

MR. STRICKLAND: All right, that's fine.

Before we entertain the motion to recess, is there any public comment this afternoon?

(No response.)

MR. STRICKLAND: Hearing none, I would then entertain a motion to recess the board of directors meeting until Saturday, January 31, 2003.

M O T I O N

MR. FUENTES: Move to recess.

MR. STRICKLAND: Second?

MS. MERCADO: Second.

MR. STRICKLAND: All those in favor, please say aye.

(A chorus of ayes.)

MR. STRICKLAND: The ayes have it, and we are recessed until tomorrow. Thank you very much.

(Whereupon, at 5:13 p.m., the meeting was adjourned, to reconvene Saturday, January 31, 2004.)
