And the real estate matters -- real property exceptions to the open meetings act. 40 is to receive legal advice and take appropriate action on hipaa policy compliance. 1 that's under the consultation with attorney exception to the open meetings act.

Receive legal advice and take appropriate action on pilot project for bariatric surgery for Travis County health plan enrollees. Consultation with attorney. Now, I have announced the two added items and 39, 40 and 41. We will not cover more than those this morning. And I will read all of the other items this afternoon, those are the -- the resale deed items and so -- so let's just assume that we will take those this afternoon. But on the ones that I just announced, we will discuss them in executive session, but will return to open court before taking any action.
Turning to the easier top picks on today's agenda, are we back to executive session?

Now, that hearing is scheduled for 3:00 and that's 38, consider and take appropriate action regarding grievance panel decision regarding jo carol bradshaw. That's post under consultation with attorney and personnel matters. 39 we discussed morning.

We do need a-2; however, and a-2 is to discuss and take appropriate action on human resources management's recommendation regarding the reclassification of slot number 6 and purchasing department consultation with attorney exception to the open meetings act, and if tom knuckles or john hilly or david escamilla are in the hallway outside, the question is whether we need to announce our intention to discuss number 38 -- not 38, but 39 again.
