so, i think it's bill brinkman, john [speaker not understood]. if you can identify yourself, please. >> good afternoon, i'm bill brinkman. i was retained on may 1st by university mount as their interim executive director and their chief reinstruction officer. by background, i've been helping troubled companies restructure turn around for over 20 years. supervisor, thank you for allowing me and university mount to appear before you. on may 8th university mount announced this closure, it announced it could no longer afford to keep the doors open. the primary concern as difficult a that announcement was, was to help the residents, approximately 50 of them at the time, with the transition. that condition as you heard from others, can be very traumatic. the second concern was to find a way, a path for the university mount mission of helping elders [speaker not understood] to continue into the future. whatever that meant in whatever form or shape. the board at the university mount, they did not take this decision lightly -- >> i'm going to stop you. >>
