in the CDP process in the preliminary educational steps in the facilitated meetings. Members of the Waimea Community Association served on the Steering Committee. I served along with Margaret. And the discussions that took place actually at the instigation of this Commission between the community and Carl Sturges were to bring their plans more into accordance with the goals and values expressed in the CDP. And I commend them for d lot of time on this. And this agreement reflects that; it reflects a lot of those community values. And so with the inclusion of this agreement, we remain in support of this application. HOUSEL: Thank you very much. Commissioners, do you have any questions? Do you have a question? GIFFIN: Yes, I do. Thank you. For the third speaker, Victoria Missien, in your written testimony, in Paragraph Î 1, 2, 3 Î 4, I just want to know where you got that information regarding, ÐUnder the terms of Richard SmartÓs estate, a tract of land was provided for Parker SchoolÓs permanent campus near to the Parker Ranch offices and rodeo grounds.Ñ MISSIEN: That information was (inaudible) -. HOUSEL: Please use the microphone. MISSIEN: That information was actually presented to us at a number of neighborhood meetings in the early years by both Parker School and by the Parker Ranch Trust Î in fact, I think you were at a couple of those meetings Î but it was -. GIFFIN: I donÓt recall the statement, though. MISSIEN: It was presented as that they did have an alternate campus, which was at their disposal but, as I said, at the time Mr. Sturges explained Î and we understand the financial decision that the cost of, first of all, relocating the campus that they already were using, the facilities to continue using those facilities is obviously cheaper than building new facilities Î so the explanation was that it was too cost-prohibitive to do all of the cost of building an entirely new campus as opposed to what they are now proposing, which is continuing the current campus and then adding, of course, a smaller campus for the rest of their school. GIFFIN: I understand what you are saying. What I was questioning was where you got the information about Ðunder the terms of Richard SmartÓs estate.Ñ MISSIEN: ThatÓs what I just said; thatÓs what we were told by school representatives and by representatives of Parker Ranch. ThatÓs where I got that information. We were told it by them. GIFFIN: Thank you very much. COTTLE: Mr. Chairman, if I may? The Department has a question f HOUSEL: Sure. Please go ahead. 25 EXHIBIT A
