cbd6abed-8cda-4dba-9ebd-560688bcfcb2 32 (Pages 125 to 128) Page 125 1 feel that the proposed design and specific layout is 2 necessary in order to provide safe and reliable 3 electric service? 4 THE WITNESS: I do. 5 MR. PORTER: One further question. In 6 connection with your specific discussions and 7 conservations with the project team, was careful 8 thought and coordination done in connection with the 9 siting, specifically as shown on the site plans that 10 are before this Board? 11 THE WITNESS: Yes. I've been involved in 12 this project for four years. 13 MR. PORTER: Thank you. I have no further 14 questions. 15 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Anything else, Ms. Porter? 16 MR. PORTER: Not at this time. 17 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Okay. Thank you, Ms. 18 Merainer. Ms. Porter, the clock on the wall says it's 19 getting to that time. We're not going to have time for 20 any furthers witnesses. 21 How many more witnesses do you anticipate 22 calling before your case is completed? 23 MR. PORTER: So at this time we do not have 24 any further witnesses. We do have other individuals 25 available to the extent that the Board would like to Page 127 1 November? 2 MR. PORTER: I would like a moment just to 3 confer with our project team. It's my understanding 4 based on what Ms. Chandler just said there's no 5 availability even for the possibility of a special 6 meeting in October? 7 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Well, we didn't get that 8 far yet. And I've only got four members here, counting 9 me. And I can't poll the Board to see whether we would 10 be able to gather a quorum, and you would want a full 11 Board. 12 MR. PORTER: That's correct. And so what I 13 would ask the Board for consideration is I believe we 14 would recommend that we adjourn to the November 15 meeting, and then to the extent possible should the 16 Board caucus separately and determine that a Special 17 Meeting could be held in the interim that the Applicant 18 would be willing to re-notice in order to have that 19 shorter timeframe available for further testimony. 20 CHAIRMAN NEUER: That's exactly what you 21 would have to do if we're going to do it. 22 MR. PORTER: Exactly. 23 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Do you need to confer for 24 November, or do you want to take an adjournment now to 25 November? Page 126 1 hear testimony but we have no planned direct testimony 2 from any further witnesses. We have an acoustical 3 consultant, we have other

do you want to take an adjournment now to 25 November? Page 126 1 hear testimony but we have no planned direct testimony 2 from any further witnesses. We have an acoustical 3 consultant, we have other representatives of PSE&G, but 4 we do not have any specific further direct testimony 5 planned. 6 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Okay. Well, it's very 7 tough for us to conjure questions without knowing who's 8 available. So that what I would ask you to do between 9 now and your next hearing is to write to Ms. Chandler a 10 list of the types of disciplines, and if you want the 11 name of the person, who you would make available for 12 questioning by the Board and the public in connection 13 with your application, or you're entitled to rest. 14 We do know that at least Mr. Malanga 15 intends to put on a case with an expert witness. So 16 that -- and I know we don't have a full Board tonight 17 so I doubt that you're going to want to go to a vote, 18 even if we could complete Mr. Malanga. 19 So Ms. Chandler, when do we have a hole in 20 the agenda to continue this application? 21 MS. CHANDLER: Honestly, not until 22 November. 23 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Well, this is September so 24 I can't get you on in October, Ms. Porter. Do you need 25 to check with any witnesses about coming back in Page 128 1 MR. PORTER: At this time we would take an 2 adjournment to November. 3 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Okay. Members of the 4 public -- 5 MR. FAGAN: Mr. Chairperson, pardon the 6 interruption. We do have a member of the public with 7 their hand raised. I'm unclear if you had closed 8 public comment or not. 9 CHAIRMAN NEUER: Yes, public comment was 10 closed. 11 MR. FAGAN: Okay. So the person with their 12 hand raised will not be heard at this time. 13 CHAIRMAN NEUER: That's correct. Members 14 of the public, this application will not be concluded 15 tonight. We have a meeting scheduled for November 16 21st, 2024. That's a regular meeting. This 17 application is carried to that meeting. 18 I alert you that the Applicant has 19 requested a Special Meeting in October. I will poll 20 the Board between now and next week as to availability 21 of Board members with a willingness and ability to 22 attend such a Special meeting. If there is going to be 23 a meeting prior to November 21st notices will be sent 24 and published and in that case you will come back some 25 time in October. Otherwise make a notation on
