Draft <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />of this is consistent with due process, and you have to be considering all the factors. So, what's a 1 <br />reasonable amount of time to procure whatever you want and then you can also take into account 2 <br />your own schedule. We meet once a month. We don't want to schedule this for December and have 3 <br />you ruin our holidays if you're not ready, so whatever you want to do. 4 <br /> 5 <br />Leon Meyers: Mr. Cates? 6 <br /> 7 <br />David Cates: Yes, I guess one way would be to continue it to the next meeting and if for some reason we are not 8 <br />prepared, we could ask for a continuance to the next meeting. 9 <br /> 10 <br />Leon Meyers: Yeah, so just to, if I may, Mr. Chair, I would not recommend that. I would assume that part of your 11 <br />calculus for due process is the cost involved of getting everybody here. If somebody else hires an 12 <br />attorney to represent them, to have the attorney show up just for a continuance is a lot of money, so 13 <br />I would urge you to err on the side of caution. Especially, as you know, we don't meet every month, 14 <br />so to come solely for that. 15 <br /> 16 <br />David Cates: I see, I understand what you're saying. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Leon Meyers: Okay. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Patrick Mallett: I think we will have a meeting next month though. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Leon Meyers: Mr. Cates, do you think roughly a month will give you enough time to prepare? 23 <br /> 24 <br />Nathan Robinson: There's no way you can get a soil scientist and an IP in one month. I mean, yes there's a way, but I 25 <br />don't think it's going to happen. 26 <br /> 27 <br />David Cates: The only thing we're missing is the soil scientist. We can definitely generate a map, with dimensions 28 <br />very quickly. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Nathan Robinson: I'm also, part of my motion, I'm also sensitive to the reality that we did have someone who didn't feel 31 <br />they were given time to have standing, and I think, in fairness, I'm not opposed to the presentation. 32 <br />I'm not opposed, if it's valid, it's valid, but in fairness to make sure that there's adequate time, if I 33 <br />could ask – I forgot your name – is one month enough time for you to prepare what you need to 34 <br />prepare? 35 <br /> 36 <br />Ron Geib: So not knowing process, when I need standing, I'm assuming you mean a lawyer. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Nathan Robinson: A lawyer or an appraiser 39 <br /> 40 <br />Ron Geib: Once I figure that piece out, then I got to figure out who to get and so it may be a month. I don't 41 <br />know. I can't say. 42 <br /> 43 <br />19
