CLARKSON: Well, I mean, what is the procedure to convert all of the current paper <br /> documents— <br /> HALL: Oh, scanning. <br /> CLARKSON: — into PDF's for transmitting to the Courts. <br /> HALL: We scan in documents. <br /> CLARKSON: We meaning the Department or the legal Counsel? <br /> HALL: The Department. Usually, the Commission Secretary and the Department puts together <br /> the record. <br /> CLARKSON: So, is it true, then, the Department has the ongoing and as always had the <br /> capability of converting paper documents to electronic format? <br /> HALL: I cannot speak to always, Commissioner,but in my recent recollection there has been a <br /> scanning capability, yes. <br /> CLARKSON: Thank you. <br /> REPLOGLE: Mr. Lin? <br /> LIN: Question for Director Kern. So, curious on, is there going to be a document for the public <br /> informing them of what defines "an electronic copy". So, it is a PDF, what type of file format is <br /> acceptable? Because right now, it says at the discretion of the Planning Director, as well as a <br /> digital signature. What defines a digital signature? Is it a scanned signature versus other people <br /> who use different programs that has an encrypted signature, will there be a document explaining <br /> that to the public? <br /> KERN: Yes, there will be. We have it prescribed right now as PDF documents. We did want to <br /> have the latitude within the rules as things change, the rules need to be somewhat dynamic <br /> because we don't know what could be in five years, but right now it will be prescribed as PDF. <br /> An electronic signature would be that or whether it was a scanned in signature or a Docu Sign or <br /> the like. Does that answer your question Commissioner? <br /> REPLOGLE: Okay, Mr. Van Pernis? You're muted, okay. <br /> VAN PERNIS: A further question of the Planning Director. I understand that he's taken <br /> bankruptcy out of the picture. Upon the testimony on the recommendation of the Finance <br /> Director concerning taxes. Has the Finance Director have an opinion, or has he gotten legal <br /> advice that the bankruptcies have much more than dealing with taxes as the economy is in a bad <br /> situation eliminating bankruptcy isn't an excuse. <br /> 5 <br /> EXHIBIT B (DRAFT) <br />
