2022-01-07 EMC special meeting draft minutes

Home

WONG: Chair if I can help, the regular Commission meeting starts at 9. We can put this on the agenda at the end, and if we happen to finish before 10:00, then we'll wait until the director is available at 10. So I guess for the parties’ purposes, if you folks can just make sure to appear at 10 a.m. on the 26th. ADAMS: I can almost guarantee our meeting will go beyond 10 o‘clock for our regular EMC meeting, so that won't be an issue. Okay, so just FYI for the future. What we still need to do then is to get a vote and see whether or not we are affirming or reversing, modifying, et cetera, the decision of the director, and then after that decision, if it is to make, well I guess it doesn't matter. Whatever our decision is, there's a proposed finding of fact, conclusions of law, decision and order that the prevailing party prepares, and then a series of timeframes to write that up, get comments on it, and then the EMC as a whole would adopt that finding for the record. Is that right? Got that. Okay. So I think we're at the point of adjourning this hearing and continuing it to January 26, and we will send out notices for when and where to connect so that we do this again and to get the full package to the other commissioners. Do I just declare adjournment or do we need motion? WONG: You can do motion to adjourn because we're going to re-agendize it at the regular meeting. So it's not going to be considered a special meeting. It'll be on the regular agenda. ADAMS: And then we’re not supposed to talk to each other about or do additional research or th any of that stuff about this particular contested case hearing, correct? Until the next, the 26 meeting. WONG: Correct. ADAMS: Thank you everyone for attending and for voicing your opinions, and we’ll see what we can do next time. HENDERSON: Thank you Chair Adams and commissioners. 4. ADJOURNMENT Motion, second, and vote: Commissioner Fulton made a motion, to which Vice Chair Gaffney seconded, to adjourn. Motion approved: 5 ayes (Adams, Burns, Fulton, Gaffney, McIntosh); 3 absent (Cardwell, Hoopii, Robinson); 1 excused (Olson). Meeting adjourned at 1:21 p.m. 43
