reasonable amount of time and come to this process when you are ready to commit to completing conditions. If you are not ready and you know that the Department is recommending seven years or it's going to take seven years, then don't come here and waste your time and waste our time; only come when you are ready and you understand and you know what it's going to take. Not everyone knows what it's going to take, though, is my point. So, if somebody does need seven, then give them seven,but we are not going to—it's irresponsible to just go and give everybody 10 now instead of five. So, I don't, I don't support that idea that everybody would get 10 now. It's look at the project, give a reasonable amount of time. Technically, an applicant is committing to meet whatever time frame is in as in the bill. The fact that some people bank on getting an administrative extension later for whatever reason they are going to tell the Department, not sure, not sure that's in the best interest of our community.

It's hard to speculate what is what because you can say,just like you said, you can say whatever you want to say to be able to get that. But,you know, with people good-hearted and true-natured, you know, that are here for the community for the better, the betterment, I would say. [Mr. Van Pernis.from the audience asked,for the volume to be higher.] Can you hear me better? VAN PERNIS [in the audience]: Now. VITOUSEK: Mine is pretty loud. DEFRANCO: Yes. INABA: Commissioner Kanuha, I'd like to respond, if I may. KANUHA: Yes. INABA: And I, of course, we want to help our local families, and we don't want to put them in a harder place if they experience hard times. But again, where do we draw the line and what is fair for one is fair for all? So, it just calls into question our current practices that we have no idea, and even if we were to implement a reporting process that, on a quarterly basis for example, the Council receives a report from the Planning Department indicating who received the administrative extensions and for what, it's after the fact.
