i i I period of time. However, the person submitting the application from home would still be able to do that. If that makes sense. CLARKSON: Yeah, it makes sense I'm just wondering whether you couldn't generalize these changes to be something that allows for the Director to specify how an application will be made regardless of the technology that's being used to make it. So, that if— KERN: Hold on one second. Chair, excuse Mr. Clarkson maybe time out, I got to answer a question on Council. Sorry. CLARKSON: Okay. DARROW: I can respond to that Commissioner Clarkson. In the code change you'll notice on the first change on page 1, you'll see the phrase `in a format prescribed by the Director". So that is exactly what we are trying to do is to give us that flexibility not knowing exactly this process that awaits us.

We'll have several kiosks that will assist them to be able to intake that application through the system. What the goal is, is to get rid of intaking anything physically with paper. That is the goal KERN: I apologize. CLARKSON: No, that's my concern Mr. Darrow that somebody that doesn't have a computer, somebody that is not computer literate, somebody that wants to fill out a paper application will now no longer be able to do so. DARROW: The applications will be online, they'll fill them in and then they can upload it and again with the understanding that there are a number of people that don't, that are not computer 5 EXHIBIT D(DRAFT)
