I THINK THERE ARE SOME ISSUES WITH THIS ONE.

MIC IS YOUR MIC? IS MIC ON? GREAT.

THERE WE GO.

THANK YOUR HONOR, I HAD OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH MR. RAINS, WHICH YOU AND I SPOKE ABOUT, UH, EARLIER.

UM, AND NE NEITHER OF US, UH, HAVE A DISAGREEMENT WITH WHAT YOU PROPOSE AS FAR AS ADVISING THE BOARD TO SET, UH, WHETHER THIS IS AN APPEALABLE MATTER, UH, FOR A HEARING ON A FUTURE DATE.

UH, SO BOARD, WHAT, WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE, THIS IS AN APPEAL.

UH, THE PERSON WHO'S APPEALED IS NO LONGER WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

UH, SO IT KIND OF PRESENTS SOME UNIQUE ISSUES.

SO WHAT I'VE SUGGESTED TO THE ATTORNEYS IS, IS THAT THEY ESSENTIALLY BRIEF THE ISSUES AND COME PRESENT TO US WHY THIS MATTER SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT BE APPEALED AT A LATER DATE.

YEAH, THAT SEEMS TO MAKE SENSE TO ME.

DIDN'T WE JUST DO SOMETHING ARGUING? WELL, THIS IS, THIS IS JUST GONNA BE AN ARGUMENT ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT IT'S, IT'S APPEALABLE.

SO I GUESS RIGHT NOW WE JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT, UH, A TIME TO DO THAT.

I WANT TO SAY THAT SOMEONE TOLD, I DON'T REMEMBER WHO, THAT THEY WEREN'T AVAILABLE FOR JUNE.

GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I, I'M NOT GONNA SAY THERE'S NO RUSH, BUT I MEAN, SURE.

THERE, THERE'S NO PENDING OR, OR, OR DISCIPLINARY ACTION.

WE'RE UNDER, SO THE JULY DATE'S FINE.

DO WE HAVE AN OPEN DATE IN JULY? YES.

CAN WE SET IT FOR JULY? YOU CAN'T TALK.

OH, UM, JULY SHOULD BE FINE.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE AN APPEAL SCHEDULED FOR JULY 24TH.

UM, SEPTEMBER 25TH, AND IT HAS TO BE SEPTEMBER 9TH, 25TH.

Y'ALL, Y'ALL.

YES.

[00:10:01]

SO I I THINK WE COULD PUT IN, COULD BOTH.

ALL DON'T ARGUE, ARGUE.

IN THAT CASE THEN, THE APPEAL FROM JOHN DOLEY IS SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 28TH AT OUR REGULAR SCHEDULE.

AND JUST SO THE RECORD CLEAR, IT'S WHETHER, IT'S NOT THE APPEAL, BUT, UH, THE, THERE'S A MOTION WHETHER WE HEAR CONCERNING WHETHER HE HAS THIS IS AN APPEALABLE ISSUE TO THE BOARD.

UNDERSTOOD.

WE HAVE A, WE HAVE A BRIEF, SO I, I WAS GONNA, SO THAT THAT DOES MAKE SENSE.

UM, NO.

SO CONSIDERING MR. IVY, YOU GUYS ARE THE ONES SEEKING THE APPEAL, UH, WOULD 30 DAYS PRIOR BE ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU TO OF COURSE, YEAH.

AND THEN 15 DAYS PRIOR FOR YOU, MR. RAINES, AND THAT'LL GIVE US ALL TIME TO REVIEW IT.

SOUNDS GREAT.

SO WE'LL REVIEW THAT ON AUGUST 28TH, 2023.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN AND LADIES.

OKAY, I'LL RETURN THE CHAIR TO CHAIRMAN.
