Okay. All 22 right. And so given that circumstance 23 and looking forward, what takeaways might there be for you as a prospective new member of this Board and how those type 178 3/9/10 - WHOLE - RES. 100021, and of circumstances are handled going forward?
I think the 5 takeaway that I got was in any way that 6 the Board can administratively foster 7 better information and knowledge and 8 clarity as to how a particular rule is 9 going to be applied under a certain set 10 of facts, that that might be helpful. 11 The constraint would be if you're 12 adjudicating someone, then you've already 13 gone beyond the point where you can get 14 that kind of dialogue. Hopefully there 15 could be some administrative actions 16 taken to provide the kind of information 17 and direction and perhaps simplicity in 18 the rule so that everyone knows exactly 19 how it will be applied. 20
And when 21 you say everyone knows exactly how it 22 would be applied, does that equal 23 everyone interpreting it the same way?
I'm not sure I could speak for anyone other than myself. 179 3/9/10 - WHOLE - RES. 100021, and 2
Interpretation 4 is always -- there's always an element of 5 discretion in interpretation, and Supreme 6 Court interprets the Constitution all the 7 time and you get different answers. So I 8 don't want to include interpretation. 9
Okay. All 10 right, then. Thank you for your 11 testimony. 12
16 You're welcome. 17 Any other questions from 18 members of City Council? 19 (No response.) 20
21 Seeing none, do we have anyone else to 22 testify on these resolutions? 23 (No response.)
Seeing no one, thank you very much. 180 3/9/10 - WHOLE - RES. 100021, and 2
