GALDONES:Well- hold on- I€d like to respond to Counsel€s question. Being that 4-15 <br />brings itback to the Planning Commission to make a decision whether they will combine that, <br />then that item to be agendized for this area is probably, Norman, next month at the soonest that <br />we can deal with this subject matter of consolidation? <br />HAYASHI:That€s correct. <br />GALDONES:So then, what I wanted to do if, if we leave today, if it€s at all possible, <br />I€m not sure if that€s possible or even legal to do that. If it€s at all possible, then if we could, <br />then I€d like to have the Commissioners deal with it now so that when- if we decide that we are <br />going into contested hearing then this hearings officer selected does understand how he or she <br />will be proceeding, and that€s the purpose of that question that I had raised? <br />TORIGOE:Were you- do you want to see if we can work that out now? <br />GALDONES:Yeah. So I€m- I don€t know Mr. Fuke or Mr. Vitousek whether that- that <br />isapossibilityforyoufolkstodothat.Ifitcanbedone,I€mwillingtocallashortrecess-so <br />you folks will be able to talk about it. Otherwise we€ll proceed as 2 separate hearings. <br />Commissioner McCall? <br />MCCALL:It seems to me there€s a fairly simple thing if we just- if we just make <br />motion that if the 3 parties are willing to consolidate the Commission would be- would- would <br />approve consolidation. If they aren€t, then it keeps separate. If we give- if I make motion of that <br />with the same motion, I would think that covers all bases. <br />th <br />HAYASHI:I just wanted to state that- not only will this be 3 parties- there will be a 4 <br />party, Mr. Mahaney. <br />GALDONES:And also we€ll need to have the Planning Director also involved in that <br />decision, Commissioner McCall. <br />Commissioner Graham. <br />GRAHAM:Could we not authorize in much the manner Mr. McCall is suggesting- <br />could we not authorize the Planning Director to act on our behalf to consolidate the hearing if the <br />parties are in favor of consolidating the hearing? Maybe the Corporation Counsel could help <br />with that? <br />TORIGOE:Yeah- in this case because it€s a contested- formal contested case hearing, <br />as you know, the Planning Director functions as a party. And so I don€t think you€d want to <br />delegate that to him. But the idea of having a motion to consolidate if the parties are able to <br />agree to consolidate then a reasonable (inaudible) it seems to be sensible and might be an option. <br />GALDONES:CommissionerSpringer. <br />14 <br /> <br />
