I am here In Commissioner Hill Great. Thank you. We'll get started then it's public meeting number 366. There was a to be really helpful. We decided to have this This meeting out of order from our Wednesday meeting because timing is a little bit helpful. We'll get started then with item number two, Todd. Good morning, Madam Chair, commissioners and everybody will jump right in. You'll recall that there were two separate lawsuits filed in or about August of 2019 relative to the application of the Gaming Commission's Blackjack rules that both MGM and Encore Boston Harbor, respectively. The Blackjack part of the cases have both been resolved. However, the Encore case included a second piece that has not been resolved. That relates to the kiosk or ticket redemption as they're called at the facility. Plaint essentially alleges that the machines did not pay out change upon the insertion of a Tita ticket when patrons attempted to cash out their tickets. So that and the plaintiff in that particular matter has served two subpoenas. The first was served upon the commission itself or deposition testimony and the provision of certain documents. That is the second piece that we're going to get started on. What's referred to as a 30B6 subpoena, that's a reasonable procedure. The second subpoena, though, was served on Ed Bedrosian, who is, of course, the Gaming Commission executive director. That subpoena directs that he similarly offered deposition testimony as well as provide certain documents. The sole issue before you at the moment is whether the commission is agreeable to covering the cost of legal fees incurred by Mr. Bedrosian relative to addressing and complying with the subpoena that was served upon. Anderson and Krieger, who of course represent us in the matter, have agreed to represent him as well. And there does not appear to be any conflict associated with that dual representation in this instance. Of course, if that were to ever change, you would need to ensure that we find separate counsel. But in any event, at the moment, there is no conflict. The commission does not have a policy on the subject of covering such legal expenses, but has in the past covered legal fees for former employee engaged in litigation related to their work at the commission. It's important to note that neither the commission nor Mr. Bedrosian have been accused of wrongdoing or are a party to the litigation in any way. The question presented is solely related to coverage of costs related to addressing and responding to the subpoena by Mr. Bedrosian. That's the only issue that's for you at the moment. So with that, perhaps Madam Chair, I can pause and see if there are any questions that I can address or if there's any discussion on the matter. Questions for Todd. Clarification as to the scope or anything. I think it's really helpful, Todd, that you did emphasize that this is litigation that the commission is not a party to, correct? And this is the subpoena that Mr. Bedrosian, is it in his official former capacity or personal capacity? Well, it's he was served and I believe his capacity as the former executive director. I believe they're aware that he's no longer the executive. That's as long as they understand that. Yeah. Any, any, there's no questions then. Todd, you are looking for a motion. This would be to for the Gaming Commission to cover the legal costs associated with this particular subpoena. The legal costs associated with this particular subpoena issued to Mr. Bedrosian alone, the single subpoena. So if I have a motion to that effect, that would be helpful. Certainly, Madam Chair, I move that the Commission authorized the payment of reasonable legal fees. On behalf of former former executive director Edward Bedrosian, related to the deposition subpoena issued in the matter of Schuster v. Resorts. Second. Any questions or suggested edits? Excellent. Take a roll call vote. Commissioner Cameron. Aye. Commissioner Hill. Aye. Commissioner O'Brien. Aye. And I vote yes, a little out of order today. So four zero. Thank you, Todd. Okay. Before we move on to item number four, is there any other business that anyone needs to address at this time, given the opportunity? All right. So as you understand, our agenda there is another item that is anticipated for executive session. And in order for us to move into executive session, I do need to read the entire language into the report, and then we'll have a vote. The commission does anticipate meeting in executive session in accordance with general laws chapter 30 a section 21 a three to discuss strategy with respect to Schuster at Al the wind resource holdings LSE at Al. As discussion at an open meeting may have a detrimental effect of the litigating position of the commission. And so with that, do I have a motion. Madam chair would move we go into executive session for the reasons you just mentioned. Second. Okay. Commissioner Cameron. Aye. Commissioner O'Brien. Aye. Commissioner Hill Hill. Aye. And I vote yes for zero on that and we will move into executive session and I believe the way that we will do this is we will all leave the meeting to the team. Thank you for attending. And then those of us who are invited to the executive session, there's a separate virtual action in your calendars. Thank you everyone and good morning. Have a good Monday. Thank you.
