Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We believe, in the discussions we have had with municipalities on negotiating block funding agreements, that we have been open and candid on how we have approached them in these discussions. We have been consistent on how we have approached each of the communities in negotiating these amounts and we do not anticipate, necessarily, that the amount of the current block funding agreement will be the same as the amount of a renewed agreement. The trail of information to work within those discussions with communities are well documented. There will be an understanding with communities when we begin the negotiation of renewed agreements in which they can see the logic, rationale and consistency that we have been dealing with communities on this. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
