ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson):
On October 7, McHenry County filed a motion for extension of
time in which to file its record. Laidlaw filed a response in
opposition on October 9, 1986. The record is due to be filed
October 10, and the County seeks extension of time until October
31. In support of its motion, the County states that the record
is voluminous, noting by way of example that, hearings were
conducted over a 26 day period. The County additionally states
that the sole attorney capable of preparing the record has
numerous other duties, and is unavailable for various reasons
October 13 through 17.
1,
Laidlaw in its response states that the County has known
that this appeal would proceed since August 13, that the County
has had adequate time to prepare the record, and that the record
is fully compiled. However, the Board places greater weight on
the statement of the person in charge of preparation of the
record.

The Board appreciates the County’s manpower problem, and
grants the requested extension through October 31. However, the
Board notes that hearing is scheduled for November 7, and does
not wish prejudice to result by reason of the short time period
between the record’s filing and the hearing. Accordingly, the
County is requested to file the record as much in advance of
October 31 as is practicable. The Hearing Officer is directed to
commence hearing on November 7. However, upon the request of any
party asserting preparation difficulties, the Hearing Officer is
authorized to continue the hearing on the record to a date no
later than November 14.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
