engagement at the present time that you engaged by the board, have you been advising the board during our proceedings? >> yes. and there has been one meeting about procedure with the board. one public meeting. >> i apologize, commissioners, were you waiting? did you have a question or just a general pause? >> i guess i am a little surprised and i dont know why the board doesnt have independent counsel. >> i cant answer that question. i am doing this pro bono. >> i know that and were ve...

person should be. if it were the chair, it would be awkward, because the chair is the one dissenter from the decision. if it one member of four-person majority, that would be awkward, because that person may be asked questions to speak for the entire majority and not feel comfortable doing that. if it were me, there is some awkwardness with the legal advice that i might be called upon to present to the board and what i hope to be a very dry and neutral presentation of what the findings...

without putting myself in a conflict situation is simply report to the board what this commission did and what findings it made. essentially reiterating the written document. the board wants someone there to be able to make that presentation and answer questions. i dont think there is an ideal solution to who that right person should be. if it were the chair, it would be awkward, because the chair is the one dissenter from the decision. if it one member of four-person majority, that wo...

we rejected 1, 2, 3 and 6 is they were rejected because they concluded so many things. you know? and i have got to say from my point of view, one of the frustrations is there was never one simple charge saying x and y. they added everything in all of them and i think our problem when we went to 4 and 5, because they were the ones that were closest to what we found to be official misconduct. that is part of the problem. >> i completely agree commissioner renne, and my reading of the cha...

ultimately as mr. emblig said, there is a perception issue and the ethics commission, i believe should take every action that it possibly can to avoid the perception of impropriety and to avoid the appearance of conflict. so that is why i raised the issue and i think that the director making the presentation would alleviate that concern, because the director is not counsel for the commission or the board. >> i am a little confused as to why the board cant have other counsel. >> i have ...

transcript of all of the questions of all of the issues that have come up more than you. and yes, you casted the dissenting vote. i am not sure what the hearing will be like before the board of supervisors, but i dont know, but i would think that those of us who can be in attendance, should there be questions. i dont have any lack of ability in your confidence. you may not want to is a whole other issue. you may not want to. [ laughter ] >> no comment. do the parties have any objecti...

given my neutral position. but im open to whatever the commission would like. >> mr. wagner? >> i think mr. hemblig said it well in pointing out that it raises a perception issue. the question is -- >> so are you advocating then that rather than mr. emblig, who will give a neutral, as he put it "dry presentation," you would want someone from the majority to go there and make the presentation? is that what you are suggesting? >> no. >> who do you think should do it? >> well, we objected...

perjury and this language minimizes all of that. >> mr. wagner, with all due respect, we didnt ignore it and, in fact we talked about at t at some length and is dueded that under and/or too collateral to address and its in the record. the board can look at it. i frankly think this language accurately reflects what we decided. again, if you have specific words that you think are inaccurate, you can point them out. but i certainly dont think this should come out. this is simply a reflect...
