We appreciate the consideration of extending the ending time for the day programs, and that was <br /> really because the application went in in September and since then the Trust has found out that <br /> the end time for a lot of schools might be a little bit later than they initially planned, so that extra <br /> hour for their day programs is much appreciated. It was included in the second notice that went <br /> out to the surrounding properties, so they were aware of that as well. And we understand that it <br /> was brought up at the homeowner's association for Pu`u Manu in their November meeting. <br /> And so, with that, I would like to turn it over to Jill Beatty who's the program director from <br /> Lili`uokalani Trust to give a very, very brief presentation. So, mahalo for your time. <br /> BEATTY: Aloha Chair Vitousek and members of the Leeward Planning Commission. My name <br /> is Jill Beatty. I live here in Waimea and employed by Lili`uokalani Trust. Mahalo for allowing <br /> me to share a few words about our proposed project. I think Carrie's going to do--share a screen, <br /> or a slideshow for us. <br /> RAGSDALE: Sorry, can you not see it? <br /> VITOUSEK: No. <br /> BEATTY: No. <br /> RAGSDALE: Oh no. Okay, sorry, one second. Okay, how about now? <br /> VITOUSEK: You got it. <br /> BEATTY: Thanks, Carrie. For those who may not know, Lili`uokalani Trust was established <br /> over a hundred years ago by our last reigning monarch, Queen Lili`uokalani, for the benefit of <br /> Native Hawaiian children. Her hopes were that all her assets would go to providing opportunities <br /> for `opio to realize their greatest potential. <br /> Can you go to the next slide, Carrie? <br /> LT is proposing a nature-based program based in Waimea, which we'll call LT Ranch. The <br /> program is designed to serve a very small group of Native Hawaiian `opio at a time in a quiet <br /> and reflective space. Our therapeutic program is based in three pathway activities of `aina, <br /> animals, and art. And we believe that the `opio who come to this ranch and engage in our <br /> activities and curriculum will develop deeper connections to themselves, to others, and the larger <br /> community. We ultimately recognize the inherent mana within them. <br /> Our, in 2022 we're hoping to offer several program options from after school day programs to a <br /> spring and fall break, as well as four 3-week residential programs. Again, all program operations <br /> will not exceed eight `opio at a time and will be overseen by ranch staff to facilitate a safe and <br /> healing experience for `opio. <br /> Our current team on site right now is, we have Honu Lindsey and Nicole Relacion who are our <br /> Ho`amana coaches. They will be engaging with `opio on a regular basis. We have Chris Wong <br /> 4 <br /> EXHIBIT G <br />
