allow the Planning Department to re-present the information, allow the applicant to present their <br />case and then any public testifiers. So it isn’t quite that easy. <br />WATANABE: I’ll hold off. <br />WOODWARD: Okay? I mean -. So with that being said, Jeff, why don’t you give us a <br />synopsis on this? <br />DARROW: Well, there is no new information from our last -. Did you want me to still <br />go ahead and give a brief presentation, or -? <br />WOODWARD: Does anybody need it? I’m sure you’ve all read -. And this is something <br />that is important; I want to make sure that all the Commissioners have read the records, files and <br />previous minutes, prior to coming to their decision. And if that’s the case and you don’t need the <br />rehash, please say aye. <br />COMMISSIONERS: Aye. <br />WOODWARD: All opposed? Very good. Okay. So I don’t think we need that. Then if <br />the applicant would like to make a statement, we’ll open to that. And then we’ll allow public <br />testimony. We have one person signed up to testify from the public. Is the applicant here? <br />Okay, please come up, have a seat. <br />HAYASHI: Mr. Chair, I just want to remind the Commission that the hearing is <br />already closed. So I don’t know whether you want to bring back the applicant to present new <br />evidence or new information; otherwise, you would have to reopen the hearing. <br />WOODWARD: Okay. Let me throw this back to Brandon then, because I talked to him <br />about this before. All right, Brandon, you are on. <br />GONZALEZ: Yes, sorry, Mr. Chair, for not being more clear earlier. The public has a <br />right to testify on any matter that is on the agenda. So when I informed the Chairman that if <br />people signed up to testify, they had to go, and let them talk even if they talked before; that’s <br />what I meant. The Department doesn’t have to re-give any more information, the applicant <br />doesn’t have to rehash any information, because public hearing on this matter was closed. But <br />according to Sunshine Law, we should let people that want to give public testimony on the <br />agenda items opportunity to do so. <br />WOODWARD: Okay. Well, I was a little confused, but sometimes I am a little confused. <br />I’m sorry. Bye. All right. We have one person signed up from the public to testify: Damien <br />Shrinski. If you’d like to come up and take a seat. All right. First, I’ve got to swear you in. If <br />you raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before the County of <br />Hawai‘i Planning Commission? <br />SHRINSKI: I do. <br />EXHIBIT C <br />3 <br /> <br />
