over the tower had a lot to do with debating on the questions on the what-ifs, comparing to what- will-happen. And I did some research on my own, had before, and I did some research now. Like there’s questions about whether the cell tower was safe and I did, I was online, I was checking information on that with the FCC and the FDA and the American Cancer Association; and everyone, everyone agrees that the RF exposure has no connection with cancer. There’s concerns about whether the cell tower will lower or raise the value of the property, and I know that the cell tower had nothing to do with the property taxes; and so there’s no, no big on that. And as far as the, if the cell tower is built may that in, that might inspire other cell towers to be built in the area. And one of the things that was explained to me about that is the cell tower that is going to be built is built to accommodate for other companies to be there, so there would be no need to build any more cell towers in the area because they’re sharing that. And one of the things that I believe will happen with this is that, I mean as you guys could probably put two and two together, the cell phone reception is going to increase not only in Kurtistown but in the areas in Hawaiian Acres and Huina Road above us, therefore increasing the marketability of living in that area because people, that’s a need for people. The cell phone market I believe will increase because more companies are going to be more competitive in the area, and I saw that, and driving down prices and increasing more jobs in the area because more companies are going to be more available in there, therefore be benefiting not only Kurtistown but East Hawaii. And also it’s going to be supporting a church that already supplies food to 400 to 500 people a month and has community meetings and events that happen in the area, therefore benefiting the welfare of the area. And so I felt it was a good thing. So I’m standing in support of that, sir. WATANABE: Thank you. Fellow Commissioners, do we have any questions of Damien -? DOMINGO: Mr. Chairman? WATANABE: Father. Yes, Mr. Domingo? DOMINGO: Yes. What’s your lease rental for each month? SHRINSKI: It would be $500; and every five years there will be a 10 percent increase. DOMINGO: Five hundred dollars a month? SHRINSKI: Yes, sir. WATANABE: Any further questions? Okay. Then, Sam. SAKAMAKI: Hi, my name is Sam Sakamaki. Address is 556 Hinano Street. Just three issues I’d like to bring up. First is going to be the economy of the Big Island; second, safety issues; and lastly roaming agreements that we have with other carriers, with AT&T. Just, I’ve actually worked for T-Mobile for the past year, and before that I didn’t really know much about the cell phone industry. I thought every company was the same, that they offered the same plans, the same service, things like that. Working for the cell phone industry I’ve been able to understand that there are differences. EXHIBIT A 3
