<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> * There was some discussion concerning details but the discussions were disconnected <br /> from the issues of the permits. There was no discussion concerning why the amendments <br /> were applicable to the subject matter of the permits or what public interests had been <br /> given up or not pursued in exchange for exclusive fishing rights and cash contributions. <br /> <br /> * This procedural error shows how far a field CP operates. CP is encouraging the <br /> neighborhood association to pursue the hope of exclusive neighborhood gain instead of <br /> pursuing their rights under public domain laws. By holding up the neighborhood <br /> association's support and approval CP is eschewing the meaning of public interest. <br /> <br /> *CP's preference for private negotiated agreements effectively foreclosed public <br /> observation and participation in the government process in violation of the sunshine law. <br /> <br /> CONCLUSION: <br /> *You must hold this ordinance in committee until you get all issues resolved. You don't <br /> have enough information to proceed. The Council needs to step up to the plate and help <br /> the Planning Director whose hands are tied by the Settlement Agreement. You can use the <br /> rezoning ordinance to leverage positive change. Don't let the County be blamed for not <br /> doing their job. You must make sure there won't be a big mess in the end like Hokulia. <br /> <br /> Listening Device: <br /> <br /> Also, the County has failed to maintain the listening device over the past year and I have <br /> not been able to hear very well without it. The listening device installed in this room is <br /> the only device that allows me to comprehend and participate fully in hearings. I have <br /> been at a disadvantage in the hearings that have taken place for over a year. I have been <br /> properly requesting the listening device as an ADA accomodation which I did this time. <br /> <br /> I feel there has been willful neglect and consideration in this matter. I am beginning to <br /> find this repeated occurance suspect. I am asking for continuence and asking that the <br /> Council keeps the ordinance in committee until the next Hilo meeting because the County <br /> failed to provide the device as required by ADA. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> / JIts 1~ <br />
