Motion was made by G. Wachtel and seconded by J. Mandell to go into

for a written report at the conclusion of the investigation into the
allegations involving P. Rysz. Discussion ensued. Chairman G. Katz asked
if P. Rysz would recuse himself. He said “no,” citing advice
from his attorney. Following further discussion focusing on the Board’s
concerns about the inappropriateness of P. Rysz participating in this
