VITOUSEK: Okay, I'd be good with that language, I mean, I just feel like the important thing is
<br /> that they have the discussion, they have the opportunity to have the discussion. And I agree with
<br /> Commissioner Van Pernis that there is a lot that needs to be looked into with this, and I think,
<br /> you know, obviously, the best way would be to actually codify it. Until that time, we have to
<br /> take everything case by case. I also agree with Commissioner Kealoha that, you know, there
<br /> should be a provision for recouping expenses upon sale after a number of years. But those are all
<br /> discussion that they can have at the County Council level. Director Kern, would you be okay
<br /> with that proposed minor tweak in that language for condition L that Commissioner Carr Smith
<br /> proposed?
<br /> KERN: Could you repeat that to me?
<br /> CARR SMITH: Within condition L, the last sentence before the numbered items would read,
<br /> "The fair share contribution shall be allocated as the;County Council deems reasonable in this
<br /> situation, which may be less when considering the Merits of the application."
<br /> KERN: Yeah, I'm, I'm fine with that. I wonder—I mean, yeah,Maija is goingto comment on
<br /> it—and I wonder how that would go in the opposite direction of the cases. I understand the
<br /> intention of what we are trying to do here. .I wonder what the converses to that.}Because
<br /> interestingly enough I did have a fair share discussion the other day at County Council, giving
<br /> them the update on this and a similar kind-of thought process, and a question, or a comment, did
<br /> come up that, oh, we can, we can charge whatever we want, on the other side of it. So that's just
<br /> something to consider there,but,yeah, I'm fine with that language irgeneral. I'd love to hear
<br /> what Maija has to says ,
<br /> VITOUSEK: Go ahead,Maija.
<br /> JACKSON: Thank you. Commissioner Carr Smith, are you suggesting deleting all of the dollar
<br /> amounts?/Because it also says, "as follows." So, would you keep the"as follows?"
<br /> CARR SMITH: I did cross it out,but, yeah, I, that's up to you guys whether that should stay in
<br /> there or not, I can't make that call.
<br /> VITOUSEK: I would-it could potentially be, you know, indication that if the Council
<br /> determines the fair share contributions are appropriate, the amount would be as follows. Or
<br /> deleting it—
<br /> JACKSON: So—
<br /> VITOUSEK: —just saying, you know, as, saying it as Commissioner Carr Smith stated it and let
<br /> them, let them figure it out.
<br /> CARR SMITH: But I know that the department has policies that they follow inserting this, so I
<br /> don't want to be controlling that.
