Good evening –
I will be appearing on this matter on behalf of the City of Renton Community & Economic
Development Department. I can be available on May 27 or June 24 for a hearing on the
merits.
I will reach out directly to Mr. Anuta to discuss stipulations and perhaps
narrowing/clarifying the question for the appeal which could eliminate necessity for a pre-
hearing conference.
Thank you
Patrice

Thank you for your email Ms. Moya. As I understand your response, this is intended to be a
Hearing on the merits of the appeal.
I can make 5/27 or 6/24 work for a virtual Hearing on the merits.
I cannot make 5/20 work. I am on a plane back from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (with
my 90 year old father), on that day. And as noted in my prior email, I also cannot make 6/17
work for a Hearing on the merits.
I think this appeal would probably benefit from a Pre-Hearing conference. That would likely
help make this a more efficient Hearing. I suspect that there are a good number of
undisputed facts, and document submissions, that could be stipulated to. I think it would
also help the Hearings Examiner to know whether the applicant will be participating, and if
so presenting witnesses or exhibits - or not.

continuing this matter, we can move it up to May 20, 2025 or May 27, 2025 or directly after

Ms. Moya – Thank you for your email. Please clarify. Is the proposed 6/17 Hearing a
scheduling matter, to set the process and date for a Merits Hearing, or is it intended to be a
Hearing on the merits of the appeal?
I ask because I am scheduled to be on a long planned family vacation from 6/1-23. I can
almost certainly find a way to appear for a brief scheduling Hearing on 6/17 despite being
out of town. However, it would be an extreme hardship for me to prepare for and
participate in a merits Hearing that week. Since this is the first notice I have had of a
proposed date, I also do not know the availability of my client representative for that week.
If this is a proposed Hearing on the merits, I could be available the week before or the week
after 6/17.
Please advise.
