amendment and would not have to go the route of having a workshop first. And I follow their advice. I mean, theyre giving me legal advice on the procedure here, I followed their advice. If they said no, got to do it the other way, have a workshop, I would do it that way. But thats the story. And, you know, youre asking, as I say, a very valid question that was part of the analysis in going through with this decision to follow the present procedure. GRAHAM:Thank you. Yes, Commissioner Siracusa. th SIRACUSA:But also to add the, the first one we got on October 27, the background/recommendation; and in that 16.2 Planning Director b which they crossed off, which means that it was there originally, says the Planning Director shall conduct a workshop. So that was in there originally, and then they crossed it off, and then you came and put it back in for your draft, Director. YUEN:No, thats not correct. SIRACUSA:Then why is, what is on the top of there -? YUEN:Youre looking at, let me look and see and make sure what youre looking at -. Yes, the Exhibit A that youre looking at, just so were really clear on this, is the Councils bill. Okay, thats attached to the resolution. And it covers, and the current law for Planning Director initiated amendments does require a workshop. Okay? And then, finally, the Councils bill would change the shall conduct a workshop to may conduct a workshop. GRAHAM:I think were at a real time sensitive point here, too. We have a contested case hearing scheduled next after this item and at least one or maybe two of our Commissioners aregoingtohavetoleaveataround1:15.Wewouldstillhaveaquorumatthatpointsowe could go with five. My inclination is to go and do a break now and do a lunch and realize that when we come back we may have only five, because I dont think were going to be able to rush through this and Item No. 6 before 1:15 anyway, and I dont want to rush through a contested case hearing. So, anyway, Im just speaking out here, just asking the Commissions preference as to what do we do, do we break for lunch or not? GALDONES:Mr. Chair? GRAHAM:Yes, Mr. Galdones. GALDONES:Thank you, Mr. Chair. Well, unless there is a Commissioner who had voted against the motion have another motion for us to consider addressing the concerns that they have raised, I would say that we break for lunch. But if someone who had voted against the motion has a motion for us to consider and we can get consensus or the majority voting on it, then lets put it on the table so we have something to chew on and -. We need get off the dime on this issue. Were just hearing a lot of concerns. A motion was tossed out, they dont like that. What do they want so that we can move on? We need to move on on the subject matter. GRAHAM:Mr. Torigoe, did you have something? 15EXHIBIT B
