VITOUSEK: Thank you very much. The applicant's representatives, I've got on my list Greg <br /> Mooers, David Kirk, and Steven Dunn. Can you please turn on your microphones? I'll swear <br /> you in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Leeward Planning <br /> Commission? <br /> MOOERS: I do. <br /> DUNN: I do. <br /> KIRK: I do. <br /> VITOUSEK: Thank you. Please state your name and the town that you live in. <br /> MOOERS: My name is Greg Mooers, and I live in Waimea. <br /> DUNN: My name is Steven Dunn. I live in Waimea as well. <br /> KIRK: My name is David Kirk, and I live in Waimea. <br /> VITOUSEK: Awesome, thank you. Do you have anything to add to the staff's update? <br /> MOOERS: The one point I'd like to add, Commissioner, is that in the last meeting <br /> Commissioner DeFranco had asked a question about the potential funds that could be lost, if we <br /> don't construct the gym at this time, and I apologize for not being prepared to answer that <br /> question at the time, but I can answer to a certain degree; I don't want to disclose any individuals <br /> or foundations that have been gracious enough to donate to this project and identify them, but I <br /> can tell you that the amount is somewhere between one and a half and two million dollars that <br /> would be lost, if, if we don't move ahead with construction at this time. Obviously, the school <br /> would try to hold onto as much of the that as possible, but some foundations and individuals are <br /> very specific about timeframes. So I did want to share that information with Commissioner <br /> DeFranco. <br /> VITOUSEK: Just a quick follow-up, is there a timetable also? <br /> MOOERS: For us to begin construction? Yeah, I mean, we'd like to begin within the next six to <br /> 12 months with construction. We have construction drawings for the facilities and the <br /> improvements. <br /> VITOUSEK: I'm, I'm referring more to the timetable on the, on when that money would be lost. <br /> MOOERS: Money will be lost within 12 months,you know, roughly. So, if we don't proceed <br /> within that time frame, some of the money will be lost. Obviously, the longer we go, then the <br /> more of the funds are at risk. But it's really hard to say, it's not definitive. Most people, when <br /> they make donations, don't have specific time frames. Some do, you know, foundations, <br /> particularly, will because they have annual budgets, and if the money is not spent during that <br /> particular fiscal year, those funds get reallocated to other projects. Individuals are less precise. <br /> 4 <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />
