             1             (At 2:30 p.m. on April 23, 2001, with

             2  Hearing Officer Behrns, Witness Rodney Otley and

             3  the court reporter being present, the following

             4  testimony was given:)

             5             HEARING OFFICER BEHRNS:  If you would

             6  start by speaking your name and then spelling your
             7  last name for our reporter here.

             8             MR. OTLEY:  Okay.  I'm Rodney W. Otley,

             9  O-t-l-e-y.  What else do you need?

            10             HEARING OFFICER BEHRNS:  That's it, you

            11  can just go for it.  Are you representing yourself

            12  or an organization?

            13             MR. OTLEY:  Myself.  The main thing is I

            14  think we need a public -- we haven't had a public

            15  hearing here.  I mean, this -- you call this a

            16  public hearing but basically we should have a

            17  hearing where all the politicians that are going to

            18  be voting on it, we should be making our testimony

            19  in front of them.

            20             And the other thing is, the data

            21  upstairs on those maps still isn't right even with

            22  the revised maps that they've put up here since the

            23  last meeting.  There's still a -- they've got

            24  mistakes on them, even I've pointed out a couple

            25  myself.  So I don't know if they'll correct them

3

             1  this time or not.  That's about all I've got to say

             2  right now, the rest of our comments will be made

             3  on -- in writing, in writing before the end of the

             4  period.  Was it May 14, I think.

             5                       (Testimony concluded at

             6                        2:33 p.m.)
