I ka ulu `Ohai, kuha`o kuha`o He Mele no `Iolani This is testimony to confirm the bloodlines from the heart of Kaluaokalani which is Holualoa, which includes the lands that are being spoken of in this application. Deny this application. UNGER: Thank you. You may be seated. I'll be asking the Commissioners motion to move to executive session, but I did want to let everybody know that the next process will be for us to entertain a motion specifically to the two petitioners to grant them standing or not to grant them standing, and then after that if we do grant them standing, one or both, again, we'll get some clarification from our corporate counsel in our executive session, but then it's, but then the Commission has to decide what the next step is as far as a contested case hearing. Do we want to hire a hearings officer? Does the Commission want to do it as a group? Or does an individual Commissioner or a group of Commissioners want to participate in that, in that contested case hearing? So, that's kind of the process going forward. We're getting towards the end, but I did want to break for an executive session just so we're all, all clear on our responsibilities. VITOUSEK: I'll move that the Commission enter into executive session to consult with its attorney regarding questions and issues pertaining to the Commission's powers, duties, privileges, immunities, and liabilities pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes 92-5. SHIMAOKA: I second. UNGER: Motion by Commissioner Vitousek, second by Commissioner Shimaoka. All in favor? COMMISSIONERS: Aye. UNGER: Opposed? [None.] Motion moved, motion passes. We're in executive session now, so that does mean if we could please ask everybody to leave the room, including staff. Thank you. Chairman Unger called a short recess at 12:03 p.m. and the room was cleared. The Commission went into executive session at 12:10 p.m.for the purpose of consulting with its counsel regarding questions and issues pertaining to the Commission's powers, duties, privileges, immunities, and liabilities,pursuant to Hawai`i Revised Statutes 92-5. At 1:23 p.m. it was moved by Commissioner Shimaoka and seconded by Commissioner Vitousek that the Commission go out of executive session. Upon a voice vote, the motion carried unanimously. The meeting was reconvened at 1:24 p.m. UNGER: Continuing down the agenda. At this time, Commissioners, we need a motion to grant or deny standing to our petitioners. Let's take them petitioner at a time. First Petitioner, Ms. McMichael. 28 EXHIBIT B
