Chairperson Case said there are three sets of minutes to approve and asked for any comments on Item A1, A2 or A3. Commissioner Starr said although a good attempt has been made to produce minutes that are better than some have been in the past, he will not be voting for their acceptance because he really feels strongly that this body should have and require verbatim transcript or some form of electronic or verbatim searchable minutes because of the importance of what we do and the fact that much that has occurred in the past has gone to litigation and without a true record of it that really muddies the process down the road.
