Board approves multiple requests to testify by telephone or submit sworn written statements
Summary
The Board granted a string of requests allowing out-of-state or unavailable property owners or representatives to testify by telephone or submit sworn written statements rather than appear in person.
During its June 6 session the Board approved numerous requests from property owners and agents to provide sworn testimony by telephone or to submit sworn written statements. Requesters cited travel burden, health concerns, or out‑of‑state locations.
Approved requests included remote appearances or sworn statements for businesses and property owners including Burger King (ID 2051155), Lithia Motors (PC20569), LRG LLC, Realty Income, Wyld Family Limited Partnership (two filings), MKJEB LLC and others listed in the clerk packet. Motion votes were handled by roll call for each request and were routinely approved on a finding that travel presented a significant burden or health risk.
Board members said the remote testimony procedure had been adopted earlier in the meeting and that approvals will be scheduled consistent with the Board’s remote‑testimony policy. Approved remote witnesses will receive scheduling information or instructions for submitting sworn written testimony through the clerk’s office.
