Commissioner Kvasager commented his reason in requesting summary minutes of the
special meetings is in case any of the parties were on appeal and the
Commissioners would have to testify in court. Ms. Wilkie stated that normally
at the Appeal Hearings we have had the court reporters present to transcribe
the meeting. Ms. Wilkie stated that if an item is appealed to District Court,
one of the attorneys would be responsible for requesting a transcript which
could be obtained from the court reporters or from transcribing the meeting
from audio tape at the cost to the appealing employee. The purpose of the
summary minutes is for purposes of the Commission having content knowledge of
the meeting and the employees to have knowledge. Official transcripts would be
obtained from court reporters.
