docket, except for voluminous discovery-related documents, is to be completed electronically. If

proceeding positively impacts the environmental, health, and economic concerns of Boise City

will it prejudice any party to this case.
5. Boise City intends to fully participate in this matter as a party and appear in all

dependent upon the nature and effect of other evidence in this proceeding. If necessary, Boise City
