In 11 <br />September, I asked to have staff contact Mr. Buck and Mr. Gledhill and have them submit bullets of evidence that 12 <br />was submitted to and approved by the board. Mr. Gledhill’s summary is in ….. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Michael Harvey: Mr. Gledhill’s summary is in Attachment 2 beginning on page 5. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Larry Wright: Mr. Buck, did you submit? 17 <br /> 18 <br />Michael Buck: Yes I did. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Michael Harvey: Mr. Buck’s comments are contained in Attachment 3 beginning on page 37. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Larry Wright: These bullets span from page 37 to page 92? All these were approved as admissible evidence? 23 <br /> 24 <br />Michael Buck: That is my belief, yes. 25 <br /> 26 <br />Geof Gledhill: I cannot understand Mr. Buck’s format. I think what Mr. Buck got into evidence…. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Larry Wright: While Mr. Gledhill is looking this up, Mr. Buck, I specifically requested to have this in bullet format to 29 <br />make it easier because we have a limited amount of time and it is not that I am restricting the time but that is why 30 <br />I asked for it in bullet format. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Geof Gledhill: What the county contends… the evidence that Mr. Buck presented begins at page 12 of your 33 <br />packet and ends on page 36 and that is in bullet format with the exhibits that are referenced in the bullet format. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Larry Wright: Mr. Buck, do you have a response to that? 36 <br /> 37 <br />Michael Buck: I’m sorry… I did not understand the requirement for bullets. I understood the requirement for a list 38 <br />of evidence that I thought was admitted which is what I provided so I am sorry it is not in bulleted format. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Larry Wright: Mr. Gledhill stated that on page 12, this is what the county deems admissible evidence on your 41 <br />behalf, do you agree with that looking at page 12? 42 <br /> 43 <br />Michael Buck: I do agree with what the County says is admitted. I think it leaves out some things I thought were 44 <br />admitted. 45 <br /> 46 <br />Larry Wright: There is confusion here. Do members of the board have any questions? 47
