GALIMBA: So, with some of the issues that were brought up here say, for instance, like what is a reasonable rate. It's sort of like we say the Planning Director's recommendations that we should define reasonable. So, do we need to define reasonable before we sent it up? KAY: Right. GALIMBA: Like 60 cents, or whatever or 20 cents? KAY: Right, so this is a situation where in our background and recommendation report are the Planning Director's recommendation was initially,please further defined what reasonable means. In response, Councilmember Kimball said, well let's take away that reasonable qualifier and so the Director agrees with that change and so that's now his kind of new recommendation. And, if you agree with that as a Commission, you want to send that up deleting that kind of reasonable language qualifier than that would go up as kind of your recommendation. Then the discussion we had here about letting kind of the markets set that rate would be what they would discuss up at Council. GALIMBA: Okay, so we can send something up and they can further deal with that at Council, right? KAY: Yeah, much like a rezone this is just a recommendation that's coming out of this body, the Commissions. Ultimately the final decision maker on this bill is going to be the County Council, as it is a code change. GALIMBA: Okay. KIMBALL: And if I may Chair. The recommendations that memo that was sent to you folks from my office is an official document and an official part of the records so as you deliberate you are able to reference it as, we approve the proposed amendment in such and such a memo. So, it is an official document that way and it will go through. So, it comes back to the Planning Committee at the Council, so it will go through the Committee hearing we can continue to massage it based on any recommendations you have today, and then, if it passes through the Committee, then it will go through the two hearings that Council as well. AU: Okay, thank you Commissioner Galimba for that question of process. It clarifies everything. Do you have any more questions, Commissioner Galimba before I ask my question? GALIMBA: I'm good, please ask your question Chair Au. AU: Okay, so I have one question for Noel and Heather. I don't know if he can answer this question or I'm sure you can, but I don't even know how much detail. What are the conversations, or what is the engagement with HELCO through this whole process? We're talking about costs, there's questions about cost, questions about you know whether this is good for the environment. What kind of engagements have you had up to this point and I'm sure they're pretty extensive and if you can or want to share with HELCO? 24 EXHIBIT C
