Can I hear a motion to accept and file this one? MOTION:MS. PROVALENKO: So moved. MR. MATSUDA :Second. MS. NICHOLSON: Discussion? MS. WONG: I have a question. On these last two 004 and 005 if we don’t accept it in to file then what happens? MS. GARSON: You know the reason why we’re doing this is just to have a complete record of what formally went out from the commission and what didn’t. So it would just be, I don’t know, you would just have it as an aside but you wouldn’t have a record as to what you did. This way it’s giving some sort of formal recognition of the work that you’ve done. If you didn’t do it this way then I suppose in your report you could say we requested input from the departments or something like that. MS. WONG: Okay I’m just curious as to what happens. MS. GARSON: It’s mostly just to keep track. 3
