WOODWARD: Okay. Thank you, Madam Director. We have, looks like just two chairs and <br />two microphones. And let’s see, let’s see we have, if we’ll get Mr. Melrose and Mr. Koehnen <br />up, please. If you’ll come on up and have a seat at the table. All right, this is EnVision Hilo, this <br />is public testimony. Mr. Melrose, you signed up first, if you’ll give us your name and address, <br />you’re already sworn in, and you may begin your testimony. <br />MELROSE: Jeff Melrose, 1405 Waianuenue Avenue testifying today. Can I just start by <br />questioning, this item is going to come up with a full presentation at another time? <br />WOODWARD: Right. <br />MELROSE: Sixty days, thirty days? What’s the -? <br />LEITHEAD TODD: In order to facilitate some requests, I thought initially we would just move <br />it back one meeting. But I’m thinking perhaps two meetings, sixty days, might be better in order <br />to give us an opportunity to meet with property owners. <br />MELROSE: So the issue of not moving forward has to do with a chance to talk specifically with <br />property owners relative to the EDH Update? <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Yes. <br />MELROSE: Okay. Well, I was, I signed up to testify to speak on behalf of the Downtown <br />Improvement Association. Alice Moon was intended to sign up and she called me about an hour <br />ago and said that she wasn’t getting up this morning, she wasn’t well. So I think probably the <br />best thing for us to do is to wait for the presentation on EDH and then come back and testify on <br />the, at that time. We don’t have any pressing comment that has to be made today on that topic. <br />WOODWARD: All right, thank you, Mr. Melrose. Mr. Koehnen. If you’ll give us your -. <br />KOEHNEN: Sure. <br />WOODWARD: I need to swear you in first. <br />KOEHNEN: Okay. <br />WOODWARD: Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning <br />Commission? <br />KOEHNEN: I certainly do. <br />WOODWARD: All right. If you’ll give us your name and address, sir; and then you may begin. <br />KOEHNEN: Okay. My name is Fred Koehnen. I live at 111 Kapaa Street here in Hilo. I’m <br />testifying today as an individual rather than in an institutional capacity. Let me start by <br />commending the EnVision Hilo staff and volunteers for the tremendous effort that they have put <br />2 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
