their independent digging of information. They're not allowed to talk to each other. Everything <br />has to be in the open meeting, and that's for the purposes of Sunshine Law. So I just want to <br />put that reminder out there. Thank you. <br /> <br />ADAMS: Good. Therefore, we will recess now at 10:55 and resume at 12:15. See you then. <br />Meeting recessed at 10:55 a.m. and reconvened at 12:15 p.m. <br />ADAMS: We have commissioners Lee McIntosh, Georjean Adams, Dee Fulton, Rick Gaffney,and <br />John Burns. And those are the commissioners, and I saw him, but I don't see him now. Ritchie <br />Henderson for the appellant. We'll wait till he shows up because he's on deck. Next, we have <br />both attorneys, Keyra Wong and Malia Kekai. There you are, Ritchie Henderson. So the next <br />part of the hearing is theAppellant’s rebuttal case. And this is where I asked the Appellant if <br />they would like to provide additional testimony in response to the Appellee’s case. <br />Brief recess to bring Appellant online <br />HENDERSON: Chair Adams, we would like to put on our closing argument, if that is okay with <br />you. <br />WONG: This is Keyra Wong, Deputy Corporation Counsel. Mr. Henderson, we are going to go to <br />closing arguments, but right now, if you have additional testimony or witnesses that you would <br />like to put on to rebut DEM’s case, you can do that right now. If you're just going to do closing <br />arguments, then I ask that first, the Chair has to close the evidentiary portion of the hearing. <br />HENDERSON: Okay. We have no witnesses that we're going to put on, and we've already cross <br />examined the witnesses from the DEM. So I think at that point, we're done with putting in any <br />further evidence. <br /> <br />ADAMS: Okay, then I formally close the evidentiary portion. <br />KEKAI: One second, do I have an opportunity now to ask questions of Mr. Henderson, or has <br />that opportunity passed? <br />WONG: Let's say, Chair, I would allow for leeway. We can allow Ms. Kekai to ask questions of <br />Mr. Henderson, either Mr. Henderson. And then the commissioners will have an opportunity to <br />ask further questions based on the answers that Mr. Henderson provides, if they have <br />additional questions, and then we can do one overall last time. If the commissioners have any <br />other questions, then they can do that before we close evidentiary questions. <br />ADAMS: Okay. I withdraw my formal closure. We're back to allowing some questions. So, Malia <br />Kekai, can you ask your questions of the Henderson? <br />31 <br /> <br /> <br />
