DARROW:Since our lasthearing, after the notification went out to the Kona Sea Villas, the Planning Department has not received any requests for petition for standing in a contested case hearing. ALAMEDA:All right. Seeing no further questions -. DARROW:Oh. If I could. ALAMEDA:Sure, go ahead. DARROW:Sorry about that. Lastly this morning we received proposed changes to Condition 15 and Condition 22 from the Department of Public Works. I can hold onto those until later, but we do have those. ALAMEDA:Thankyou,Jeff.Seeingnofurtherquestions?Allright.Okay, here is the deal. You know, with our previous agenda item we actually -. When there is testimony, we should take it first. And Mr. Torigoe is myCorp. Counsel, which means that he guides the presiding officer, making sure that we stay true to the procedures. So if its okay, Mr. Torigoe, Id like to call up our testifiers. Is there any comment? TORIGOE:Well, Mr. Chairman, that will be consistent with your Rule 4-21, which says that the presiding officer shallafford all interested persons an opportunity to present testimony prior to the commencement of the hearing and prior to proceedings onanysubsequent day to which the proceeding is continued. ALAMEDA:Okay, thank you. Before I call up the testifiers, let me just share this with you. Right now its about 11:30. And I asked my fellow Commissioners about what time will they go brain-dead without food, so they indicated to me that about 12:30. So wherever we are at with our proceedings, if its okay, well just take a break at 12:30. And if we need to come back, then well come back. But hopefully we can get all the testimony in bythen. And so to make sure we get it in by then, let me just advise you that if you can keep your testimony to the point keep it concise. We have a littlerule of thumb, if we can be about three minutes or under three minutes, wed appreciate it. Also, if this is your first time as a testifier, dont be nervous. You know, Im just as nervous. So go ahead and just share your opinion, your feelings; your voice matters to us. And well take that into consideration along with all other documents that weve had as well. So feel free to come up and voice yourself. I have eight testifiers here. I want tojust ask staff, is there any more? NOMURA:Thats it, so far. ALAMEDA:Okay. Also, in your testimony you basically make a statement. Some testifiers want to ask us questions. And basically with your testimony, you make the statements; we ask the questions. All right? So let me call up, first, Joel Gimpel, Donna Scott, Lillian Fox, Charles Flaherty let me see how many chairs weve got there and how about Larry Jensen. Okay, well go with four, and then well pick up on the next bunch of testifiers. All right, could you please raise your right hands? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? 3EXHIBIT C
