tlawai`i County Council - 2 December 18. 2002 MR. KIM: That's correct. MR. ELARIONOFF: Is there going to be a double standard, then, for people who live on Hawaiian Homes property and those who don't live on Hawaiian Homes property? MR. KIM: Right now, Mr. Elarionoff, I'm really not—there are— the Building Code violations that we have on this island, a lot of it—] hate to say it----is the fault of us in government in regards to some of the rules and regulations that are out there. Maybe have (inaudible) as I said, I think, if we go to every home on this island and look for violations—we'd probably find violations in 90%-plus. of the homes (inaudible) than those that were just built or whatever—and I have no basis for that statement in regards to the percentage. But this is one of the main concerns in regards to residents on Hawaiian Homes. This is something we're going to have to work on how we're going to do it. I have no answers, right now, on what Codes will be changed or would not changed. I have no answer, right now, how we are going to see how we can mitigate some of the violations of the past. I have committed to those on Hawaiian Homes Land that we would not go in and seek out violations of past,prior to this Agreement. MR. ELARIONOFF: Okay. Thank you very much. (NOTE: At this time, Mr. Soon responded from the audience, which was inaudible.) MR. ELARIONOFF: Yes, please. (NOTE: Mr. Soon responded from the audience, which was inaudible.) MR. KIM: And if I may take this opportunity, Mr. Elarionoff, on that issue—as Mr. Tyler pointed out, some of the statements that were made by our Governor Lingle, as far as the Hawaiian Homes Land and the structures, it is—some of the things are, naturally, of concern of ours. And we will talk to Mike what our concerns are. And I'll make sure we express our concerns in regards to what we want to do here. Page 54
