4. COMMUNICATIONS <br />a. Communication No. 2008 -110: Letter from Renee Schoen to Dan A. Cole dated <br />November 26, 2008, informing him that the Board is unable to hear his petition as <br />submitted. <br />b. Communication No. 2008 -113: Letter from Dan A. Cole to Renee Schoen dated <br />December 1, 2008, in response to her November 26, 2008, letter. <br />CHAIR: Renee, could you give us a quick synopsis of the background of this <br />communication from Mr. Cole. <br />SCHOEN: Sure. We received in our office a petition on or about November 5th. Upon <br />reviewing the petition and after meeting with the Board Chair, the Board Chair asked <br />that I prepare the letter, which is Communication 2008 -110. In response to that letter, <br />Mr. Cole provided a response, which is Communication 113. <br />CHAIR: And just to interject, Renee made the response at my direction according to <br />Rule].]]. We looked at the communication from Mr. Cole, and his first communication <br />was kind of broad, not very specific in terms of Code violations and who was violating <br />the Code. So at my direction Renee wrote back to him, asking for a more specific <br />description of violation, and which he responded with —which Communication? <br />SCHOEN: 113. <br />CHAIR: 113. So basically what I'd like to do -1 don't want to decide on this petition <br />today. I just would like the Board to discuss whether or not this petition is concise <br />enough to place on our agenda for next month's meeting, whether or not it's something <br />that we can decide upon. Have you guys all got a chance to look at those <br />communications? <br />L UM: Yes. I'm still in confusion about who or what entity the petition is really about. <br />In this kind of case, do they usually reftle the petition cover sheet, when you're asked to <br />clarify, or do they just – <br />SCHOEN: I don't think there's a particular procedure. In this case I asked Mr. Cole to <br />resubmit an entirely new petition articulating more specifically the allegations and the <br />person against whom the allegations were against. And that's what he submitted. And <br />so pursuant to your rules, this Board can decide whether or not it has sufficient <br />information to hear the matter, or you could also reject it. <br />LUM: I would have trouble rejecting it, because I really don't understand it. So I would <br />say that in my opinion, in order for our Board to hear a petition, it needs to be maybe —I <br />hesitate to use the word simple, but— <br />CHAIR: - -Well, I think- <br />2 <br />
