as any type of conflict of interest, I’d like that just on the record. I was a community relations person. Thank you. RHO: Okay. Any objections or concerns? How about from the parties? Mr. Lim, maybe you can step forward. And from the Department, Mr. Yuen? LIM: We have no objections for the applicant. YUEN: I have a question. Was part of your role to in any way promote the use of this particular piece of property? BOWMAN: Would you clarify what you mean by “promote?” YUEN: Maybe just to get a better idea what your role was. Did Gentry own other property in Kohala? BOWMAN: This was the only property that I was involved with. YUEN: Were you doing -, what did you do? You know, there’re a lot of different things somebody can do as community relations. BOWMAN: Yeah, I did work with the planner, Sid Fuke, and mostly as a community liaison person getting input from Hui Lihikai and various community groups. They initially, I believe, were looking at a small resort like a retreat resort, was initially what was spoken about. I don’t have the records, and I guess I should have looked up what I was, you know, during that time. YUEN: And then Gentry -, when you say you were working with Sidney Fuke, he was working for Gentry as well -? BOWMAN: Yes, yes. YUEN: And Gentry was in the process of planning the project at that point? BOWMAN: Right. And then I believe that he passed away. YUEN: Mr. Gentry, yes. BOWMAN: Yes. And I think things were changed. I’m not sure. I apologize. I just had a slight role of -, because I lived in the Kohala community, to identify community groups that could be accessed to have meetings with. YUEN: Were you working for them when they went to get their land use approvals, like when they went to the Planning Commission, when they went to the County Council? BOWMAN: I do not think so. What year was that, I’m sorry? EXHIBIT A 3
