TORIGOE:Yeah, the Rule 4 contested case procedures says that any procedure in a contested case may be modified or waived bystipulation of the parties. And I think that would include the requirement that, you know, it be decided on the first meeting. So if there is an agreement that you want to put it off, then thats fine. FUKE:So, yeah, if thats the understanding then, you know, we would have no objection in deferring the issue of the standing to the next meeting. SPRINGER:And the Orchidland Estates? PAWU:We would have no objection to deferring it as long as our rights were preserved at a future time, that we werent waiving our right for standing. SPRINGER:Isthataccurate,Mr.Torigoe? TORIGOE:Yeah,Ithinkthatdbe,thatwouldbethecaseifyouareagreeingthatwe can just put it off. IWASHITA:Madam Chair, can I clarify -? SPRINGER:Commissioner Iwashita. IWASHITA:So its my understanding, Mr. Fuke, that on behalf of the applicant -. Basically, as Mr. Pawu indicated, they dont want to loose any of their rights. So youre agreeing that theres not going to be any objection if you cant work something out and we come back next month then its considered there? Its not going to be objection its too late to determine this issue? FUKE:That is correct, we would not object to that. IWASHITA:Thank you. SPRINGER:Other Commissioners? Commissioner Siracusa. SIRACUSA:Could we determine today just to make sure that those rights are preserved, that Orchidland Community Association would have standing in the event that a contested case hearing is agreed upon at a later meeting? SPRINGER:Mr. Director? YUEN:You could vote to grant standing today and then postpone any action on hiring a hearing officer or otherwise proceeding; and the Department would just put the contested case hearing on hold pending theres further discussions. SPRINGER:Commissioners, weve heard the discussion -. SIRACUSA:In -. 5
