KOMATA: Sorry, this is James Komata from Parks and Recreation. So, we just had a conference call this morning with DOT to bring all the parties up to speed as to where both projects if you want to consider them separate entities undertaking the projects. DOT's project to remediate the soil to remove the lead contaminated soil and dispose of it properly and re- import new soils to re-establish the existing park to its current condition. That would happen prior to the construction project that involves the accessibility and the structural improvements, the water system upgrades. So, it would be something that we would be dovetailing where the DOT project would run and then the County project would run immediately after that so, we try to minimize the amount of downtime or inaccessibility of the park to the public and the users. But it's the access is too tight; the area is too small we can't have two (2) separate contractors so to speak working there at the same time right on top of each other. CLARKSON: I have a question. AU: Thank you James for that answer and I understand that our Commission, our duty here is just to look at the Special permit like Alex had just mentioned. But I think it's fair for us to be concerned about the lead issues because the community will be using it and I do know the County's intentions and everybody's intentions is to make everything safe. So, I appreciate that answer and thank you very much. REPLOGLE: Joe, you had a question? CLARKSON: Yes, I just have a question as to whether the DOT lead remediation and the County of Hawaii lead remediation will be simultaneous or will you wait for the DOT to finish their project then do the lead remediation on the County project and then begin construction of the improvements. What's a snapshot of the schedule? KOMATA: So, like I mentioned the conference call that we had with DOT and some other parties this morning. We are waiting on procedures that the DOT has to follow in order to implement their project. We're looking our project if I had to guess at this point, I would say that we are about six (6) to seven (7) months out from being able to start construction once we go through our procurement bid process and acquire all the permits necessary because there are additional permits and approvals, we need to get following what happens here. So, if the County's project starts in 6 to 7 months what we would like to do is to work with DOT to squeeze their project in ahead of ours. I'm not sure again we're waiting on time frames from them because there still are certain procedures, they have to follow in order to start their project. So, nothing is set right now that's just throwing it up in the air. If you want something in 6 to 7 months for us to start construction on the County's project and that's not looking at schedules, it's not looking at facility availability, usability all those have to come into play once we actually set a start date. REPLOGLE: Yes, Joe? EXHIBIT B 8
