HCHA meeting <br />November 5, 2020 <br />take into consideration what he has to say cause usually he comes up with <br />some you know... <br />Eoff: solutions <br />Poindexter: ....good questions or ideas, or sometimes its crazy but its mainly <br />good. (laughter) <br />Eoff: Okay let me check then, Mr. Chung would you like to help us out here and <br />then keeping in mind that I've been advised that we may need to take a recess <br />if were gunna go much longer. Mr. Chung? <br />Chung: Yeah, I'm thinking now whether you know its ... <br />Eoff: Oh oh ... okay. You know I didn't want to rush this discussion... <br />Chung: ....right... <br />Eoff: ....cause I realize its important. <br />Chung: Well you know, I'm gunna go off script now and basically its gunna <br />come down to this. Whether we want to go into the nuts and bolts of this plan or <br />discuss the possibility of deferring it until the new mayor can weigh in on this <br />thing, and that's my preference, you know were so close to the inauguration. <br />Both of the candidates for mayor were really good outreach people particularly <br />as it relates to Puna so now we know who the Mayor is, its gunna be Mayor -Elect <br />Mitch Roth who again has a great reputation for connecting with the <br />community, I'm not saying that he community hasn't been a part of this <br />discussion... this matter just like COVID or not unlike COVID its really damned if <br />you do damned if you don't, you cant please everybody and Douglas you had <br />laid out a lot of the constraints and requirements of the HUD grant and I think <br />these a disconnect, there's some disconnect between the communities <br />expectations and what these constraints are but at the same time why don't we <br />just let the new mayor, what's another two months? We've been waiting for a <br />long time, I mean the community has been waiting for a long time. and I don't <br />want to sound flipit or anything like that but two months more to allow the next <br />mayor to come in and weigh in on this thing I think is the best thing we can do. <br />And I don't think its gunna require, you know if we press the pause button right <br />now, its not gunna require us to go out and have more public meetings or <br />anything like that. I just, you know, let Mitch come in and give a strong pitch one <br />way or the other on this. <br />Page 34 of 36 <br />
