Ms. Wong -Wilson: Yes thank you for this opportunity to provide testimony. I have <br />provided written testimony as well. But I want you to note that my <br />written testimony based on the title only of the petition 2020-04 <br />and that is because when I called for a copy of the petition, so we <br />would understand, public could understand what the issue was. I <br />was told that it was not available, I did receive it finally at nine <br />o'clock this morning. So I have, two things to say. One is, I don't <br />believe that your commission has provided ample public notice to <br />give the public an opportunity to actually testify on the items <br />before you. I think that is clearly unethical and I'm not sure, I <br />don't believe it was a clerical mistake. I believe that was by <br />someone's order or a procedure. So I believe that, that issue <br />should not taken up today. You should agendize it and make sure <br />that it gets out to the public. Secondly, I want to point out, that <br />because I've only had less than an hour to review what appears to <br />be thirteen pages, certainly not ample to review the legal... legalese <br />that is included in this document and the previous speaker had <br />mentioned it as well. I don't believe without even understanding <br />all of the appoints of the complaint. That the Department of Land <br />and Natural Resources or Hawaiian Home Lands comes under the <br />purview of this County so it baffles me what I ... what we public <br />have to constantly be on alert to be able to testify for things like <br />this which just doesn't make sense. I don't see it as being within <br />your purview. So that's my comments for today and thank you. <br />Mr. Robinson: Okay, thank you very much. You'll still be joining the meeting on <br />the WebEx right? <br />Ms. Wilson -Wong: Yes, I'm going to remain for your discussion if you have one. <br />Mr. Robinson: Okay. Next is Nawahine Kaho`opi`i. Has camera and mic. Did <br />she sign in? <br />Ms. Aiello: Mr. Chair, I do not see her on the list. I do not see that participant <br />on the list. <br />Mr. Wiseman: Mr. Chairman, I have a comment to make with respect to her last <br />statement. <br />Mr. Robinson: Go ahead. <br />Mr. Wiseman: Yes. Ma'am, by the Board of Ethics is very consistent with issuing <br />it's public notices of hearings. The very competent staff we have <br />assure that that's done meticulously. And in that notice, the <br />petitions that are to be considered at the hearing are listed as well <br />as a notice that any member of the public, who has a concern about <br />
