See Exhibit 2. (i) Where an item listed in the table of contents includes attached exhibits, the exhibits shall be separately listed as an exhibit to the item. Where the exhibit is also a document that is being retained under OAR 661-010-0025(2), the exhibit shall also be listed at the end of the table of contents as provided in subsection (ii) below.(ii) Where large maps, media recordings, or other items or documents are retained by the governing body under section (2) of this rule, those retained items shall be separately listed at the end of the table of contents;(C) Be securely fastened on the left side;(D) Have pages numbered consecutively, with the page number at the bottom outside corner of each page;(E) Be arranged in inverse chronological order, with the most recent item first.

Upon motion of the governing body, the Board may allow the record to be organized differently.(b) Where the record includes the record of a prior appeal to this Board, the table of contents shall specify the LUBA number of the prior appeal, and indicate that the record of the prior appeal is incorporated into the record of the current appeal.(c) A record that does not substantially conform to the preceding requirements may be rejected by the Board.(5) If no record objection is filed and the governing body transmits an amendment to the record, the date the amendment is received by the Board shall be considered the date the record is received for the purpose of computing time limits as required by these rules.Or.
