I call this meeting to order.
I'd like to thank you gentlemen for joining us this afternoon. Hopefully, you can hear everything all right.
I believe the clerk filled you in. We generally allow about 10 minutes for presentations and opening statements, and then we move into questions and answers. If I interrupt you, please don't be offended. Our members are constrained by certain time limits for both questions and answers, and in the interest of fairness, in order to try to get as many questions in as possible, I may have to interject every now and then.
Mr. Mayor, I'd like to thank you for being here today, and I'd like to ask you to make any opening statements or comments, and to introduce your associate, if you don't mind.
The floor is yours whenever you're ready to proceed.
