GALDONES:Mr. Olson, are you representing Mr. Malasek? <br />OLSON:Yes, I am. <br />GALDONES:Have you received a copy of the background report and the <br />recommendations? <br />OLSON:Yes, I did. <br />GALDONES:Do you have any comments to those documents? <br />OLSON:Yes. Actually I have a number of comments. <br />IWASHITA:Mr. Chair, Im sorry to interrupt but I have a procedural question. <br />GALDONES:Proceed. <br />IWASHITA:Atthe last hearing or at the last time this matter came up before this body, <br />ahearingwasconducted.Thetestifiertodaytestified,aswellasacitizennamedReneSiracusa. <br />And it was my understanding that at the conclusion of that last testimony that the hearing on this <br />matter was concluded; and we had the motion and so forth, the procedural things that we went <br />through to address this issue. So my procedural question is do we need a motion to reopen? If <br />the intent is to take further evidence in this case, do we need to reopen the matter, the hearing? <br />Because it was my understanding that the hearing was closed at the conclusion of the <br />proceedings at the last meeting. <br />GALDONES:Mr. Torigoe, if you could assist us in this matter, please. <br />TORIGOE:Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Im trying to check the record to see if we had <br />formally closed the hearing. But, in any case, it seems that the Planning Director wanted to <br />present further testimony in writing and it seems that the representative of the applicant wants to <br />respond to that. So, basically, at this point, if no one objects to the reopening of the hearing for <br />the purposes of that discussion, I think you can do that, and if theres no objection from the <br />Commission. <br />GALDONES:Mr. Iwashita? <br />IWASHITA:I just want it clear on the record, you know, that there was either -. I dont <br />understand, you know, Im not familiar with the exact requirements of the rule. So as far as the <br />hearing, I just want it clear on the record whether it was closed at the last proceeding, at the last <br />meeting; and if it needs to be formally reopened or not. <br />OLSON:I believe, as a point of order, Mr. Chairman? <br />GALDONES:Could you hold on -. <br />3 <br /> <br />
