Mr. Adams: That's correct. Right. This is intended to be the things that we're <br /> going to work on within the rules that exist right now. We will <br /> give you a full packet of rules that we would then be able to <br /> consider. There is one thing that we were going to talk about with <br /> staff and that had to do with the email and video conferencing. <br /> The idea of including that now as a means of availability, internet, <br /> and County website being available and making sure that's all <br /> included in the rules since we're now into the internet age. The <br /> idea of email and video conference being available as means of <br /> transmitting staff opinions. That's actually been done in the past, <br /> we just need to make sure we clean that up. Finally the idea of <br /> whether or not we want to allow for petitions to be filed <br /> electronically where as currently that's not the case. Right now <br /> everything is being filed hard copy. That was something that <br /> Counsel and I talked about and Counsel was going to still probably <br /> be working on whether or not that is something that staff is <br /> comfortable with. Whether it actually fits into the County's <br /> current means of doing things. <br /> Mr. Balsis: I'd like to make comment on that to clear an issue because it's <br /> going to be my last time to really make a comment. I have no <br /> objection to receiving petitions electronically. I noticed in the <br /> comments that it had to do with electronic signatures. <br /> Mr. Adams: That's a concern. <br /> Mr. Balsis: As long as that can be taken care off. In the financial world, Docu- <br /> Sign is something that's being used. I know when I use adobe, <br /> they have the place where you can do signing. I don't know if that <br /> is sufficient or not. I think Docu-Sign is like a third party so gives <br /> more credibility to it. There is even ways to do notaries <br /> electronically now as compared to the past. I don't see why we <br /> would not allow it as long as there's a methodology to assure that <br /> there is a real signature. <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: Right. The concern is that there's no forgery or frivolous <br /> complaints that might come forward that wouldn't be verified by <br /> an actual signed document. <br /> Mr. Adams: I know at the state level, all these things are electronic <br /> submissions are the way that legal proceedings are moving <br /> nowadays. A couple of other items just to finish up, the second <br /> page Rule 6.8. This was something that we were looking at when <br /> we had an earlier petition earlier in the year. We know that the <br /> audio recording occurs and we know that it's transcribed. Then <br />
