ALAMEDA: Mr. Chair. GRAHAM: Yes, Commissioner Alameda? ALAMEDA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. The discussion is kind of moving into what we would typically do after a motion or maybe previous to a motion, maybe because we don’t know what to make a motion on. So I’d just like to maybe encourage Commissioners maybe we could move that way, and start having our full discussion with each other. Go ahead. GRAHAM: Yeah, I’m certainly in accord with that, that we move towards the completion of this Application. Yes, Commissioner Watanabe? WATANABE: I’d like to make a motion cause I tend to agree. I move that Amendment to Special Management Area Use Permit No. 25 – SMA 25 – be approved with an amendment to Condition 26, which references to the integrated golf course management plan for the second golf course, and I move that we approve this based on the Director’s recommendations. GALDONES: Second. GRAHAM: Thank you. Moved by Commissioner Watanabe, seconded by Commissioner Galdones. Do we have further discussion? ALAMEDA: Discussion. GRAHAM: Discussion, Commissioner Alameda. ALAMEDA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate Dr. Walsh’s interpretation of the data and the questions brought up by you, Mr. Chair. But I’m sitting here, looking at the Applicant and thinking, you know, where did they maybe go wrong in their preparation. And just from sitting here, I’m thinking that they did pretty much everything that they had to do to prepare for this Application and to present today. And so our discussion is more around like – so what do we do. And how do we judge this Application then? Do we judge on kind of what was presented or on this global warming kind of environmental issue? And what I hear so far is that, like the Department of Health they do water quality monitoring, so, okay. But what I’m hearing is that maybe they should even do some sewage monitoring, some sediment monitoring, they should be looking at the balance or health of the reef, you know, the monitoring there, but they don’t. So is that the fault of the Applicant? I don’t know. So for me, I’m here sitting and thinking that I think the Applicant has done everything that they needed to do; this is a follow-up continuance from the previous meeting. And I’m inclined to be in favor of the motion because of that. GRAHAM: Thank you, Commissioner Alameda. Any comments from other Commissioners? Commissioner Iwashita? IWASHITA: My concern is that – and I appreciate everything Commissioner Alameda says and we have to look at the practical aspects of, you know, this is a request for an extension, and these are conditions on an SMA. And so I think that, in my mind anyway, the way I look at EXHIBIT C 17
