CAMPBELL: Just a question to Ms. Mayhew, really. Has the Board met since this motion was made to clarify for you exactly what they meant by it? TORIGOE: Okay, Mr. Chair, it sounds like the applicant wants to call Ms. Mayhew as a witness. MAYHEW: Yes, sir. WOODWARD: Very well. You’ve already been sworn on. MAYHEW: Thank you. The Board has not met officially. I did make some phone calls when I got the minutes, just to confirm that that’s what they wanted, the wording in the motion. I called the recording secretary and got that; and it was all confirmed that way. CAMPBELL: The reason why I had to ask that question is because as I recall the president summed up the decisions saying, well, I guess we are pretty neutral, not objecting but also stating that it does not conform to the Master Plan. MAYHEW: That is how it was in the meeting. That’s why it felt so vague. You kind of sat there on the Board like I sat here saying yeah/no, yeah/no. But yeah/no I did confirm after, yeah. CAMPBELL: I have concerns about delivering messages without there having been a meeting and a vote because I recall there being strong voice for supporting it from two members of the Board, and I wondered what they had to say about the matter when you called them. MAYHEW: Actually I confirmed with the recording secretary what the exact words were and then I called Frank, the President or Vice-President who made the motion, to just double-check that that is what he wanted to say; and he said, yeah. CAMPBELL: Well, the Commission has the exact motion in front of them and I would prefer that that’s what we keep. There’s no heresy interpretation. But the motion states no objection, though it does not confirm. WOODWARD: Very good. Do you have any other statements to make? CAMPBELL: Well, I guess I wanted to know if there was a chance to make other statements made by other Board Members. Mr. Matlage had quoted somebody. Is this a time to quote other Board Members from Paradise Park or is any of it admissible? TORIGOE: Well, Mr. Chairman, basically your proceedings here are not governed by strict rules of evidence but, you know, you need to be a little careful about heresy and take into account at least the weight of that. If you start admitting a lot of heresy then, you know, people will want to come and rebut that, either in person or with other heresy. So, you know, ideally what you’d want to do is call the other people as witnesses and ask them direct questions and -. CAMPBELL: No, I’ll honor that and will not bring it up if that’s what’s honored by the Commission. EXHIBIT B 12
