The staff presentations are preliminary and are intended solely to allow the Board to publicly consider the findings and potential recommendations for this case. No factual analyses, conclusions, or findings presented by staff should be considered final. The Board may vote to adopt the final investigation report and recommendations after hearing staff presentations and public comments.
