matter of all. Commissioner Yates would be disqualified because of her bias against seeing more traffic in Kohala or extra traffic. Commissioners who are in favor of more jobs and construction would be disqualified from any application that involves jobs or the lack of them. For instance CARR SMITH: Mark, excuse me, I don't, I don't mean to interrupt you, but I think we are good to proceed. Nobody is pushing back on the fact that you say that you can be fair and non-bias. So, can we go ahead and proceed with the agenda item? VAN PERNIS: Yes, I can be fair and unbiased. I want to add that these documents they refer to sought to enforce the original application and the particular condition, which I've since learned is still on the table, and I learned that Mr. Yee's recommendation. And I also want to point out that these writings are several years old and are within my rights to free speech, and I think it's reprehensible that the applicant would challenge that. CARR SMITH: Okay, very good, thank you. Anyone else? Go ahead, Max. NEWBERG: Thank you, Nancy. I just wanted to make mention as a disclosure, I am an employee of the Hawaii Regional Council of Carpenters. All I know is that there have been negotiations between the carpenter unions and Palamanui, but as I have not been a part of any of those conversations, I'm not aware of the outcomes of those conversations and would not be compensated either way. I just wanted to make that statement that I as well can be impartial, non-biased. Thank you. CARR SMITH: Verry good, thank you. Anybody else? All right. Anyone have concerns about Max's statement? (No audible response) No. Okay, seeing none, we'll go ahead and move forward. Maija Jackson, I believe you are going to present this item. Go ahead. JACKSON: Thank you, Chair Carr Smith. Can everybody hear me? (No audible response) Yes? Okay. Before I get into the presentation, I want to just mention written testimony that you should have received since the background and recommendation was distributed. Since then we've received testimony from David Lassner, President of University of Hawaii; Jeanette Foster; Cari-Rose Coleman; Jean Hull; Rick Gaffney; Marjorie Erway; Walter Kunitake, Ken Melrose; and Andre, I'm sorry, Andee Bemrose on behalf of the West Hawaii Association of Realtors. So hopefully, the commission received all of those testimonies via email. Okay, so, as Chair Carr Smith mentioned, I'm going to be presenting information for both agenda item number I and 2 at the same time. And you can just give me a moment to share my screen. Okay,just give me a minute here. Okay, so everybody should be able to see the first slide that says, "Palamanui Global Holdings LLC." Are you able to see that? (No audible response) Okay, thank you. CARR SMITH: Looks good. 4 DRAFT
