The statement, "A Jefferson County hearing examiner is considering the district's application, having a June 1 deadline to respond with approval or request additional information." is completely wrong. I stated the application was submitted May 4th, and I have 28 days to deem the application complete or request additional information. June 1st is not a deadline to issue approval, and I am not a hearing examiner.
