In particular, he points to one of the three audio cassette tapes, concerning the proceedings on January 3, 2006, and notes that it contains only part of that proceeding, the rest of the tape having been taped over by other board proceedings unrelated to him. He also notes that no audio cassette tapes were submitted for the December 6, 2005, meeting and the January 10, 2006, meeting at which the Board announced its decision. He also criticizes the Board's minutes as being inaccurate in some respects and not informative. He argues that such an insufficient record hampers any assessment of the reasonableness of the Board's action. We note that if an appellant is concerned that no report of the evidence or proceedings at a hearing was made, or if a transcript is unavailable, then appellant may prepare a statement of the evidence or proceedings from the best available means including appellant's recollection. W.R.A.P. 3.03. While Gilbert did not pursue that opportunity, we observe that in his appellate briefing there are several instances in which his counsel inserts his recollection of the discussions of some board members. We also observe that both counsel in their respective briefing have set out their statements of the case and statements of the facts with appropriate references to the record. Having considered Gilbert's concerns and carefully reviewed the designated record, we are satisfied that we have a sufficient record consisting of the appropriate Board's documents relating to the Board's action and its basis for purposes of our judicial review.
