WOODWARD: Name and address, please, yes. WILKINS: Elfie Wilkins, 20 Akepa Street and also Banyan Drive, and in Hilo. Okay. I wasn’t prepared. I just came by chance because I was waiting for the bathroom to start on November 2, 2,‘08 and that was after we had public meeting. I went for the walk, I voted and I talked to whoever was in charge. And then now finally that, I’ll be counted the -. The, what you call, SMA, that wasn’t quite in order even though everything out was done. And so I thought well I’ll just come, coming along, probably they don’t need me. And I put down, so I’m kind of nervous, okay? I put it down in order of priority for me. There are children playing in the water every single day and I cannot understand why no, anyone doesn’t want to change it, have it. Because the cars, I counted them up to 30 cars on weekends, and don’t tell me that all the cars are okay. So for me the keiki are very, very important. The second thing is I was against cutting the Banyan Drive because I was the last person of the Hilo Outdoor Circle, I was the last president. But then thinking things over and that that would improve the area like Onekahaka in a, in a way, you have all the picnic tables so that the family could go there and picnic instead of going into with a car and put a big tent around it which takes away from the other people who might want to go there -. Okay, so I sacrifice the banyan and I just hope that they replace it with some other tree because we need the shade. And, by the way, those are not exceptional trees because they were not nominated. And the other thing, the shower would be great for anyone who goes in there and comes out. And the bathrooms are really needed because even those portable bathrooms twice now they were vandalized. So you have the whole thing on the floor. And lastly I believe if we don’t do any pathway or anything to go to the bathroom or so, the ADA is going to come down on you and demand it. That’s all. WOODWARD: Okay, thank you very much. Any questions for Ms. Wilkins? All right, you all may be seated. Thank you very much. PUBLIC: Can I say one more thing, real quick? WOODWARD: I’m sorry, that’s pretty much it. No rebuttals. PUBLIC: It’s not a rebuttal. WOODWARD: Okay. All right -. PUBLIC: So is written testimony still being accepted? WOODWARD: No, not at this point. Okay, if anybody would like to make a motion -. IWASHITA: Can we ask the applicant to come forward again, please? 23 EXHIBIT C
