RAFFIPIY: Thank you. Any other discussion?
<br /> DARROW: Commissioner Aguinaldo is asking, has his hand up.
<br /> RAFFIPIY: Go ahead.
<br /> DARROW: You're muted, Gilbert.
<br /> AGUINALDO: Hello, I'm back. So, relating to cell towers, like every district has a design
<br /> committee. So, does this have to be reviewed as well in Kea`au? Because it's kind of like
<br /> certain districts or towns they have their design committee, yeah? To be constructed. Does that
<br /> fall in that guideline?
<br /> RAFFIPIY: Go ahead, Mr. Darrow.
<br /> DARROW: There's no design committee or commission in this particular area.
<br /> AGUINALDO: Okay. I yield.
<br /> RAFFIPIY: Thank you. Mr. Au?
<br /> AU: Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, I see Director Yee thinking. Maybe I want to hear his thoughts,
<br /> and I'd actually like to hear the Applicant's thoughts. Maybe Mr. Lyons or Ms. Songvilay, or
<br /> Mr. Tomlinson? Any comments from the Applicant or our fearless leader, Director Yee?
<br /> YEE: I would agree with the statement that yes, you should make a decision today. This, having
<br /> this Covid issue and having to do it online, not having public testimony, the community was
<br /> outside our doors here protesting with signs, about a half a dozen of them, and so from that
<br /> standpoint of, and they question the Sunshine Law, their ability to be part of the process. It, you
<br /> certainly will raise that question if you approve the application today, and that worries me. I
<br /> would want to know at least for the record, you would really want to know why you're taking it
<br /> for each individual member to understand why you're taking up the reconsideration today and
<br /> why these issues weren't, let's say, part of your decision-making at the last time. I mean I get it,
<br /> this is a tough one. I have been, certainly been put in this position before. This is unique having
<br /> to do this online and stuff. Those are my comments for now.
<br /> RAFFIPIY: Thank you, thank you. Yeah, I think for me, the reason, the reason I voted no was
<br /> basically because of what, what Mr. Yee just said and Mr. Darrow said. I'm worried about the,
<br /> you know, that, yes, we, we were getting the public testimonies on papers, but there may still
<br /> have some who will say they don't have the ability to type, they don't have the ability to fax,
<br /> they don't have the ability to use computer or anything they could submit their testimonies on
<br /> who would, who would be there to voice oral testimony and, you know,they I think may claim
<br /> that they are denied that opportunity to participate. So, that's the reason why, and also what Mr.
<br /> Yee said about why, why is it that we change our,you know, our mind right now. So, for me,
<br /> I'm going to stick for what, how I voted, and I'll continue to stick to it. That's my comment.
<br /> Thank you. Mr. Aguinaldo? You are muted, Mr. Aguinaldo.
