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