which is improper and have a smart guy like Dennis Krueger show the judge that it was
<br />wrong? Where does that get my client? So again, I will say for myself, I am not proposing
<br />things that I believe are improper because it affects my client as well as everybody else.
<br />I also disagree with Mr. Yuen's advice to you. He says follow your Corp. Counsel. And your
<br />Corp. Counsel, as smart a person as she is, I believe would also say that she is an advisor,
<br />okay, and you are the client. And for any attorney to give what he or she believes is the right
<br />opinion, and yet will recognize that the client does not have to agree if the client feels there's
<br />something that doesn't make sense or just feels there's something wrong. So, yes, I would
<br />hope that you would follow your Corp. Counsel as much as possible, but your role is not to
<br />just follow anything she says and give up your judgment and discretion on an issue, okay. I
<br />don't see that anywhere in the Charter, anywhere in the Code. There's nothing that says once
<br />your Corp. Counsel speaks, no matter how bright she is, you must follow like sheep. That is
<br />not the case.
<br />Lastly, it's wonderful, my voice -. Good faith. Non-compliance. And I am saying this stuff
<br />is really irrelevant, what the zoning inspector, what he said in the attachment to Mr. Yuen's
<br />letter. And I didn't want to go there, but since, you know, these allegations, I got to say this.
<br />You know, good faith -. Thanks, appreciate it. Thank you. Good faith, these kinds of
<br />allegations, bad faith, good faith, the reason they belong in an enforcement action is that if we
<br />were in an enforcement action dealing with those, then we could present information to show
<br />that there was good faith, okay. There's an allegation we haven't complied with the water
<br />requirements. False, that's been done. Irrigation has been converted 100 percent. Since the
<br />time you adopted that decision in August, irrigation is no longer using County water. It's all
<br />the private source now. And that -, and the large buses, I really don't want to go into depth on
<br />sghr adb`trd H jmnv Hll itrs vnqjhmf `f`hmrs lxrdlf here, but all I'm saying is that belongs in
<br />a certain proceeding. And out of fairness to my client, to throw that out here, two days before
<br />this hearing, and then argue it's bad faith, you know, my client has bad faith, we shouldn't
<br />even be here today, that's really unfair. There's a time and a place to deal with that, it is not
<br />today. It's not on this agenda item. Thank you.
<br />FUJIKAWA:Any questions, Commissioners, to Mr. Tsukazaki? Okay, if not, you
<br />three gentlemen, we do have two people that signed up for testimony, can you stand back?
<br />Julie Mortensen, and Lunakanawai Hauanio, please step forward. I guess just you, Julie, for
<br />`
<br />now. Can you raise your right hand, please. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this
<br />matter now before the Hawaii County Planning Commission?
<br />`
<br />MORTENSEN:I do.
<br />FUJIKAWA:Do you want to state your full name and your address, please.
<br />MORTENSEN:My name is Julie Mortensen. I live at 75-5481B M
<br />malahoa Highway in
<br />Hlualoa, Hawai`i.
<br />FUJIKAWA:You may proceed.
