QUINN: Yeah, that will always be in the family. <br />ALAMEDA: All right. So as you guys expand, the proposal is also, conditions suggest <br />that you might have to give back and, not give back, but, you know, add some structural <br />infrastructure, if you will. <br />QUINN: Infrastructure. <br />HYATT: Yeah. <br />ALAMEDA: And you guys are okay with that? <br />QUINN: We’re okay with that. <br />ALAMEDA: And you guys got the money for that? <br />QUINN: No, sir, not right now. <br />HYATT: Not right now, yeah. <br />QUINN: We could do the extensive infrastructure that you folks are talking with <br />sidewalks, so on and so forth, but we don’t feel that the area that we’re in would require it. It’s <br />not like the Pahoa town center where you do have a lot of traffic going in and out. Sidewalks -. <br />ALAMEDA: Well, not yet. But when you start getting infrastructure like that, <br />commercial and all that, you guys are willing to add -? So what you’re saying is you don’t have <br />the money yet but you like add the service, you like add -? <br />QUINN: First of all, Mr. Alameda, if you look at the demographics and the <br />geographics of doing business in Hawaii you first look at 185,000 people on this island, and then <br />you go east and west. So you cut that in half to 90,000, and then you trickle it all down to into <br />lower Puna. You’re dealing with 30,000 to 40,000. So these numbers, this population, the <br />explosion is stopped already. I don’t think it would create too much traffic coming in because <br />we’re not dealing with too many people. Our target area is a 13-mile radius. We’re not targeting <br />outside that area. We’re trying to take care of people in the lower Puna with the feed and <br />fertilizer store. So you’re not really dealing with large volumes of traffic, plus the growth has <br />considerably stopped. It has really slowed down now. And a lot of people have moved back to <br />the mainland because they’re not making money here as they were in the past, speculating. <br />ALAMEDA: Well, the only thing, well, you’re going to add, you’re going to get <br />growth, you’re going to get traffic action when you get a doctor’s office over there, one <br />chiropractor and everything like that. <br />QUINN: In the event -. <br />21 <br />EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
