there is in the next phrasing associated with 6.8. The idea that <br /> transcript becomes available, but there's nothing that I identified <br /> that it's the transcript that is the official record of the hearing. That <br /> was a potential gap that I think we actually saw as potential <br /> concern when we were considering the petition back in earlier in <br /> the year or the end of last year. I just want to clarify that what <br /> we're talking about is that it's the transcript that becomes the <br /> official record that folks would then look to get if they wanted to <br /> see that as opposed to some audio hearing. The reason we included <br /> this. <br /> Mr. Balsis: I noticed that and I consider like part of the cleanup aspect that you <br /> had mentioned. <br /> Mr. Adams: Although we were having the conversation, Counsel brought up <br /> the questions whether or not the audio hearing maybe/should be <br /> available. That's something that I think we're still looking at <br /> whether or not that is indeed the case. <br /> Mr. Henricks: Something like that is technically what we're talking about <br /> evidentiary rules. It' not rules of conduct or anything like that. Its <br /> evidentiary rules. Rules of evidence are best evidence available. <br /> When you talk about audio, is it audio versus transcript? I think <br /> your audio is better than your transcript. Your transcript is merely <br /> paper versus audio you can listen to an inflection of what he says <br /> and the way he thinks and say things. I think it's the best evidence <br /> at that particular point and if I were sitting here I would ask for the <br /> best evidence. <br /> Mr. Adams: Here's the deal. As I understand the conversation that occurred, <br /> actually I don't think we should have this conversation in open <br /> session. I think this conversation for closed session. I move that <br /> we go into closed session. <br /> Mr. Balsis: I second the motion. There's a motion on the floor to go into <br /> closed session to discuss certain aspects of policies and procedures. <br /> Discussion? All those in favor. <br /> Mr. Balsis, Ms. Kahakalau, and Mr. Adams (simultaneously): Aye. <br /> 12:10 p.m. The Board entered closed session. <br /> 12:15 p.m. The Board returned to open session. <br />
