thereÓs a requirement for proposed findings and conclusions that has to be reviewed in a certain timeframe. In other words, this is the Hearings Officers recommendation. The proposed findings and conclusions that would require a Chapter 91 type of review would be before the Commission itself. So, basically, what we need to do is get a, is get started on a document that would be the Hearings Officers recommendations. And the Hearings Officers could, we could argue that on th the 30 or whatever, and then the document could be produced which could adopted by the st Hearings Officers as, as Hearings Officers in a meeting on the 1 if that was noticed. I donÓt know, IÓm just, I guess weÓre trying to talk some possible Î. GIFFIN:Mikahala? M. ROY:Am I to understand that that is a summary in one day of the accounts so that it can be in written form representing the hearing? VITOUSEK:Yeah. So what IÓm suggesting is that, is that the, before the hearings on ththth the 28, 29, and 30, I will, and I will circulate what will be our proposed findings and conclusions.

TheyÓre giving us an opportunity to do something that they donÓt have to do under the law. And so thatÓs, and IÓm not trying to, believe me, IÓm not trying to rush the process. IÓm just trying to say, you know, as long as weÓre throwing out ideas, it might make sense to just notice a st continued contested case hearing for the 1 because that gives us an additional day. You have to give public notice of, if thereÓs going to be a hearing, and there are timeframes on giving public notice. GIFFIN:Maile? DAVID:Okay, maybe IÓm not understanding this correctly. So what Mr. Vitousek is saying is that the last three days of the contested case hearings, that you continue the argument on whatever for the, the day the Planning Commission regularly meets, is that what youÓre saying? VITOUSEK:No, IÓm saying we would complete the presentation of te th argument on the, by, on the 30. DAVID:Okay. VITOUSEK:And then if the Commission wanted to prepare and adopt recommendations, I mean if the Hearings Officers wanted to prepare and adopt 15
