SPRINGER:In the event of that discussion who represents the Planning Director? TORIGOE:Which discussion would that be? SPRINGER:Discussion of the potential parties regarding consolidation. TORIGOE:That would be- normally theres a separate Deputy Corporation Counsel. At this time it would probably be Bobbie Jean Leithead-Todd who represents the Director. SPRINGER:Whos not here today- Im wondering for todays discussion regarding consolidation -. TORIGOE:Right, yeah, so that would be a little difficult. But what you could do is- as was suggested- perhaps ask- have a motion that would authorize consolidation if the parties areagreeabletothat,sothatthatcangoforward.Andif-dependingonwhetheryouwantto- whether you want to have a hearings officer for this Parker- this Board of Directors matter, I suppose that could be shaken out later, one way or the other. If you wanted to authorize a hearings officer for the Board of Directors matter then- and there is a agreement to consolidate then- then 1 hearings officer could be appointed for both of those matters. If you wanted to hold this Board of Directors matter as a Commission hearing, then you would have to make a decision down the line to either have the hearings officer hold the consolidated hearing or have the Commission take that consolidated hearing. GALDONES:Counsel in your statement regarding the parties agreeing to consolidate would the parties mean just the applicants, or it- it goes beyond that? Is it more complex? TORIGOE:Well, again, formally, the Planning Director is a party, and also the other intervenor- Mahaney, yeah they would have to be involved in that also. GALDONES:That being the case I think- I think its not- its not only Mr. Fuke and Mr. Vitousek getting together and making this decision but also the intervenors. I guess its more complex than that- in the consolidation; and perhaps I would recommend to the Commissioners just handle this thing as separate hearings. FUKE:Mr. Chair like- if I might just -. GALDONES:Mr. Fuke. FUKE:One last comment. If if consensus cannot be reached by all of the parties, then we would respectfully request that at least the items be held like pretty much like on the same day or the day after whatever have you, largely because, you know, all of the parties will pretty much be the same and then the interest will- you know on the- on the hearings officer as the case might be, you know, well be all fresh and it will be together. So -. GALDONES:So noted, Mr. Fuke. Okay, any further discussion on the motion to contract this out to a hearings officer. Further discussion? 15
