[00:05:01]
B 96, C 10, AND D 30, AND, UH, THE CORRECT ANSWER WAS LISTED AS B 96.UH, HOWEVER, I THINK IN THE, UH, MATERIAL ON, ON THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, UH, WE INDICATED THAT THE CORRECT ANSWER SHOULD HAVE BEEN 120 HOURS RATHER THAN 96, AND THE 120 HOURS WAS NOT EVEN LISTED AS ONE OF THE CHOICES FOR THE QUESTION.
SO WITH THAT, UH, WHAT WOULD THE COMMISSION LIKE TO DO? UH, I'VE LOOKED AT IT AND, UM, YOU COULD SAY THAT 12 HOURS IS WITHIN THE PUBLISHED ANSWER, UH, ANSWER A ANSWER B 96 HOURS IS WITHIN THE PUBLISHED ANSWER, UH, C AND D OR OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE OF THE PUBLISHED ANSWER.
SO I COULD DO, I COULD DO A AND B ARE CORRECT, BUT I THINK IN THE CASE OF THIS, FOR THIS APPEAL, I THINK WE SHOULD THROW, THROW THE QUESTION OUT.
UH, IT'S NOT, NOT CLEAR AT ALL.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE COULD, WE COULD DEBATE THIS FURTHER, BUT I THINK, UM, FOR TODAY'S PURPOSE, I THINK WE SHOULD JUST, UM, THROW THE, THROW THE QUESTION OUT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION? OKAY.
I WANT TO ASK ALSO IF, IF SERGEANT, UH, SERGEANT V IS HERE, UH, THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS? YOU'RE NOT HERE EITHER.

ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, UH, FROM THE COMMISSION ABOUT, UH, THIS MOTION? OKAY.
UH, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF, UH, THE MOTION, WHICH IS TO THROW OUT THE QUESTION NUMBER 30 FROM THE TEST, UH, SAY AYE.
THAT MOTION PASSES AND, AND WE WILL THROW THAT QUESTION OUT, BUT I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE ONLY QUESTION THAT WE HAD TO, UH, LOOK AT TODAY.
UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER BUSINESS THAT NEEDS TO COME BEFORE THE COMMISSION? KURT, CAN YOU CLOSE THE HEARING AND THEN WE NEED TO RECESS AFTER YOU CLOSE THE HEARING.
[b. Recess to re-grade test, if necessary.]
AND THEN I GUESS REGRADE THE TESTS AND HAVE SOME RESULTS THERE.UM, DO WE NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO DO THAT OR YOU JUST WANT ME TO CLOSE THE MEETING? UH, CLOSE THE HEARING.
