WOODWARD: All right. Thank you, Mr. Silva. Commissioner Domingo, you had a <br />question? <br />DOMINGO: Thank you. Mr. Silva, with regards to oversight, would not the acquisition <br />of permits present itself to be a means of oversight for the operation? <br />SILVA: Well, it hasn’t had, it hasn’t as to yet. <br />DOMINGO: Well, that’s what I mean. Because they would be required to obtain <br />permits to conduct such a business. So in the form of acquisition in those permits, would it not <br />provide some form of oversight as to what they need to do and what they cannot do? <br />SILVA: You’re right. But you don’t, my understanding is you do not have a right <br />to proceed with a business prior to getting those licenses; and they’ve done that for the last five <br />years. <br />DOMINGO: I know what you mean and I know that I’m bothered by that also. But I <br />think it was Corp. Counsel who stated that to deny an application cannot be denied upon the <br />reasons of what they had done wrong in the past. You know, it would be like a punitive action to <br />them. So, you know, this is where I’m being very careful to make sure that the concerns or the <br />issues which were done previously would be corrected, would be given assurance that those <br />issues would be addressed; and that should a permit be given that they will be starting on a <br />supposedly clean slate based on its value and based on the quality of service that they can <br />provide for the kids, you know. And, you know, I just need to mention that. <br />WOODWARD: Okay. Was there a question there? <br />DOMINGO: No, no. <br />WOODWARD: Was that a comment? <br />DOMINGO: Just a statement of fact. <br />WOODWARD: Okay, we’ll just try, if we could please keep to the questions here. Any <br />further questions for Mr. Silva? Commissioner Domingo, you had another question? <br />DOMINGO: Well, you know, just to clarify my questions, I just want to make it clear <br />and the record to indicate what we were discussing previously and the concern with regards to <br />how I’m looking at this specific application. <br />SILVA: Can I respond to that? <br />WOODWARD: Yes. <br />SILVA: I feel for your position. I can understand that it’s difficult to sit on the <br />Commission. But I think past performance is a judge of how strict it needs to be. I think you <br />11 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
