can hear it, but it doesnt really influence because were not making the decision anymore, correct? GALDONES:Let me address thatquestion. And I think Ms. Packett also had some confusion on whether she should make her presentation or not but -. In the contested case hearing, a hearings officer will listen to all the testimonies provided at that hearing; and with all of that testimony he will make- he or she will make a decision based on what is presented to him or her at that particular time. And that recommendation will be submitted to the Planning Commissioners for consideration. The testimony that is provided today will stand on its own. So at the time that the Commissioners decide that they will be making a decision well have to bear in mind that Ms. Packett did make a testimony today and make that part of the consideration for the decision along with the recommendation of the hearings officer. Now does the hearings officers recommendation have more weight than any testimony presented here, that is going to be up to each Commissioner to decide whether- which one is of greater influence or both of them shouldbegivenequalweight.Butthatsadecisionyouwillhavetomakeatthattime. ALAMEDA:Thankyou. PACKETT:CanIsayonemorething? GALDONES:Sure,Ms.Packett. PACKETT:And I dont really know if I should say this - Im a user of Community Education. In fact one of my classes just finished up on Wednesday evening. Id like to point out to everyone in this room that the users of Community Education Waimea really are very happy with the classes that are currently at Parker School. We just cant draw, as a user, we dont draw distinction between a Parker School Facility and a Parker School Trust Facility. And I know Mrs. Springer when you asked about this division, the users dont have a sense of there being separate facilities especially for the evening classes. I mean, I guess, during the day that would be different; but it seems to work for me and everyone else in these classes Ive taken. GALDONES:Thank you. Commissioners, any further questions? Otherwise, thank you, Ms. Packett. Are there any others within the public who wish to testify at this time? No? MISSIEN:My- is this working? My name is Victoria- oh sorry. GALDONES:Could- could I have you sworn in please? Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? MISSIEN:Yes. GALDONES:Could you please state your name and your residence address? MISSIEN:Victoria Missien, 66-1734 Kawaihae Road. GALDONES:You may proceed with your testimony. 16
