you provide us with some clarity about whether or not we need Commissioner Aguinaldo to actually log out of the meeting during the discussion period. KEKAI: I would say that as the applicant it's not legally required,but if it's something that would make the commissioners feel more comfortable than it would be up to Commissioner Aguinaldo on whether he decide to"—"that request or not. AU: Commissioner Replogle and applicant Aguinaldo can you put your phone on mute I think there's feedback. If you're not talking,please mute. Go ahead Commissioner Replogle. REPLOGLE: Just to be clear, my comment is not in any way questioning Mr. Aguinaldo's integrity or anything like that. It's just how we are perceived by the public, was my concern that's all. AU: Okay well for the record, actually Commissioner Galimba you want to go ahead and say something? GALIMBA: Sure, yes, I just was wondering, I mean it was mentioned of what the Board of Ethics, I mean, should we perhaps for an abundance of caution be going that route or I mean this is a little bit unusual and I have no doubts about Commissioner Aguinaldo. But again, it's what Commissioner Replogle said perception is really important in this. But I'm not clear on if the Board of Ethics is appropriate or if that's something that happens afterwards when we mess up? AU: Ms. Kekai I have a question for you. If we all individually state that we can be impartial and unbiased and make a fair decision regarding this application is that sufficient? KEKAI: I think it's; I'll say this to kind of answer both Commissioner Galimba's statement and your question that usually doesn't happen, but yes, it does also happen after if something goes awry. Sufficient for this proceeding if you can be impartial, I think, but again, I will just with the caveat that conflicts of interest and such are all decided by the Board of Ethics, so I can't be the ultimate decision on that. CLARKSON: I just like to make a suggestion for the future,maybe not pertinent to this application but it might be considered that when commissioners are the applicant perhaps their application should be heard by the other Planning Commission rather than the one that they're on. Might be a little bit of protection for appearances sake anyway. REPLOGLE: That's a neat idea. KEKAI: Yeah, we'll just have to see. The Charter is pretty clear about who has what and the County Code as well, so we would probably have to amend at least the rules and probably the Code and perhaps the Charter. So, I'd have to review that,but that was initially thought of,but I have to do a little more review into that we can definitely look into it. AU: So, moving forward, I think we're okay, as long as we all can individually agree that you can make a fair decision and if we feel more comfortable maybe we can have applicant 3 EXHIBIT C (DRAFT)
