They had received five years, plus two <br />additional years due to a currency certificate that expired under Senate Bill 360. <br />Juan Farach, Shubin and Bass, P.A., maintained that this was not vested through the <br />DRI and depending on the policy directive of the Commission and the business terms of the <br />proposed settlement, they can either implement the settlement or proceed and defend the County <br />in the litigation because it is a defensible position. <br />Chairman Davis opened the floor to the public. <br />27 <br />July 21, 2009 <br />
