order, we have not been asked by the Harlans to remove it, that we should look at it on its own merits and then they can decide on their own later since itll be basically a one-on- one situation anyway that they can decide how they want to proceed with the case later. So -. SPRINGER:Thank you, Commissioner McCall. Mr. Schneider, do you have any objection to that course of action proposed by the Commissioner? SCHNEIDER:Not really. I do have an e-mail; but, of course, e-mail is being e-mail, you know, I dont know where that stands in a legal sense. But I do have an e-mail wherein theyve indicated that, theyre talking about sending in this written testimony, and to all of the persons who received the Objection, from their lawyer. instead, we merely have to have you as our authorized representative present at the March 3 hearing in order that all questions relative to the request may be clarified. So, ineffect,youknow,butIdonothaveapieceofpaperspecificallyauthorizingme,other than their request that I do it, an e-mail request. SPRINGER:Commissioners, weve heard Commissioner McCalls concerns. Do you have comments on that? Commissioner Siracusa, then Graham. SIRACUSA:Would it be out of line for me to request that Mr. Schneider pass that e-mail along to staff and have staff run off copies for us so that we have a copy, at least until such time as a proper affidavit or other type of legal document from the Harlans could be presented to us, so we have something to cover us in the meantime? SPRINGER:Is there staff here? Norman, can we have that done -. I dont think Commissioner Siracusa wants it, you dont want it immediately, do you or -? SIRACUSA:No, it doesnt have to be immediately, no. SPRINGER:Okay. Thank you. SIRACUSA:Actually, I think just one copy for the file, for the records. SPRINGER:Thank you. Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:I certainly concur with all that Commissioner McCall said, so I feel like we can move forward in that vein; and I also had a question for the Corporation Counsel. Since the Harlans residence is not quite as close as Mr. Schneiders, I do recall from Contested Case Hearings by other bodies from years past that once the Contested Case had been granted, the body who was granting, I dont recall, you know, exactly what this was but they couched their language in the acceptance of other parties that they feel that it would add to the record and be beneficial to the hearing of the matter and such things as that. So Im wondering if it is of any lesser standard necessary to admit a second party than if it were the only party being admitted. 18
