Hi All, So according to my lawyer we are very near a resolution on the objections that have obstructed my PUC approval for OT Tours. Woop Woop! *However* I still need to prepare for court incase the deal falls through. For that I need to prove 'Public Need' and I can do that with at least 3 witnesses in every county I intend to operate. I am hoping I can fulfill this requirement via the rugby team! Adams Arapahoe Jefferson Denver - 3/3 Complete Douglas Clear Creek Summit What exactly do I need? Well for the moment I just need your name, address, email address and phone number. Hopefully that is all, but if it does go to court then a handful of eye witnesses, so hopefully some of the people on my witness list can attend the court date and say yes there is a need. Totally ridiculous process but those are the rules... If it got to that stage then I would be indebted to you, resulting in free red rocks, ski days, airport rides etc Below are notes from my lawyer that clarify the situation - The only way to establish public need is to have members of the public as witnesses. It does not matter who those members of the public are as long as they are adults. This means that you shouldn’t waste your time looking for politicians or high-level business people to act as public witnesses. Just regular members of the public are sufficient. Of course, if you can get high-level business people or politicians, it certainly wouldn’t hurt. Again, however, it’s not an absolute necessity. - My recommendation is to try to find two to three witnesses from each county in which you’re going to operate. - When you’re putting together your list of witnesses, the more names you put on, the better. Remember, your witness list is only going to have proposed witnesses, meaning people who possibly can be witnesses. You may end up putting 100 or 125 people on that list, but that doesn’t mean that many are going to testify. Just get the names on the list, and then worry about who will show up. But witnesses do flake out and fail to show up, so you need to have as many people as possible on the list in anticipation of this happening. Thanks everyone! Oliver www.ot.tours
