Housing Authority and make this happen. We do know from our standpoint that as quickly as we
<br /> can convey the land and develop the infrastructure, we can move very quickly on that. The
<br /> financing and building of the actual units is going to have to involve our developer as well,but is
<br /> there a reasonable timeframe for us to do that? And maybe it's a question, more than anything.
<br /> YATES: Well, I would think that if you're going to be doing a lot of work down there, and you
<br /> know, these young, well young or whatever it is, will be coming to work for you. They will need
<br /> a place to-say, and so I, I can't tell you what is a reasonable timeframe, I think that more than--
<br /> you would probably know best, because you know where you are, as far as where you are
<br /> building, where you are getting permitted, where you are getting supplies, or you know.
<br /> Things that you need for them to be there to work or to get this place built. So, that was my
<br /> concern, because in listening to those young men this morning they're also excited that they'll
<br /> have a place to stay, so that they don't have to drive hundred something miles a day to be able to
<br /> be gainfully employed. And I think it's important that our young folks, you know, feel good
<br /> about having a place to stay so they can be gainfully employed. So, that's my concern.
<br /> PLUNKETT: And—
<br /> VITOUSEK: Go ahead.
<br /> PLUNKETT: Okay. I agree with you, and my question is, Sid, how long does it take to actually
<br /> negotiate the agreement and maybe, maybe Stanford Carr's group can answer this with the
<br /> County Office of Housing and Community Development,which will specify the time frames
<br /> with an understanding that this has got to move along certainly and ideally faster than Kumu Hou
<br /> does.
<br /> CARR: Certainly, I'd like to weigh in if I could, Chair?
<br /> VITOUSEK: Go ahead.
<br /> CARR: Okay, so what Mr. Plunkett is pointing out, is he can control the timing of the donation
<br /> of the land and funding of the infrastructure. Beyond that, it's, it's with Stanford Carr and we
<br /> would be going through our process and coming back in front of you again. It's going to take
<br /> some time to develop that housing agreement, it's going to take some time to hash out the details
<br /> because we, we need to do our studies. But what, what Waikoloa Land can control is a timeframe
<br /> for when they would, would donate the land. That may be the way you want to phrase their
<br /> condition.
<br /> VITOUSEK: I don't think we do. You know, I think that the land donation in the
<br /> was ast great,
<br /> p
<br /> but I think the commitment to the housing is where we want to go with the condition. You know,
<br /> the, the when is the appropriate amount of time? I don't know, but I would think before the
<br /> application comes in, it would be, it would, it would be great to have that stuff a little more
<br /> fleshed out. Be a huge benefit to us. Again, I think that we've asked a lot of questions, we've
<br /> brought a lot of information together, and I think some of it, you need to digest and you need to
<br /> figure out, and you need to do some consulting, and possibly come back and present the results
