Chang addressed the Commission to correct misinformation received in public testimony and entered into PONC records on November 14, 2022 and January 9, 2023. Contrary to public testimony, the Commission does not meet only four times a year from 10 am —1 pm, for a total of 12 hours per year.Chr. Chang stated this is a significant time estimate error. The Commission meets a minimum of 6 regular meetings/yr. usually from 10 am — 2 pm. Special Meetings are scheduled when necessary. Two Special Meetings were held last year, for a total of eight meetings. In addition, commonly one or more PInGs are meeting in-between these meetings. Site visits involve travel time, meetings with the representatives, and writing of site visit reports. Correct assessment of the volunteer time involved in serving as a PONC Commissioner needs to include the many hours of prior preparation for meetings, time spent in PInG-related meetings, reviews of materials, report writing, and site visits. Chr. Chang pointed out that it is important to have a Commission that is balanced in its Approve Minutes of March 13, 2023 Page 5
