NOMURA: Microphone, please. HIGGINS: May I ask for that? WOODWARD: Sure. HIGGINS: I think that what you’re looking at is the, my understanding is you’re looking at the staff’s recommendations with Mr. Mooers’s modifications. WOODWARD: Correct. HIGGINS: And on one thing, I don’t know which number it is -. WOODWARD: Number 9. HIGGINS: Well, there’s one prior to that where he has suggested a cap of 20 special events annually, and we had suggested four. And I trust it’s acceptable for me to mention our negotiations on that? WOODWARD: Yes. MOOERS: Well, I -. WOODWARD: Oh, MOOERS: I mean, you can mention, yeah, we never, I guess we thought we had an agreement but we never did, I guess, cause you came back with zero or blank. HIGGINS: Well, it was our intention that if the Commission was inclined to grant the permit they would accept our mutual understanding that there would be a reasonable cap on the number of special events per year; and we had suggested four and you had suggested 12; and now you’ve said okay, that’s off the table, we’ll ask for 20. So I, you know, I sense which way the Commission is leaning and I’m just pointing out that’s something that needs to be addressed in the final. I trust you’re not going to automatically accept 20 but that you will discuss that number as well. WOODWARD: Okay. Basically the motion is to accept those changes that Mr. Mooers has put forward to the conditions with the change to Condition 9, only putting in the coordinates. And that’s what we’re talking about. So is there any further discussion? HAYASHI: Mr. Chair? WOODWARD: Yes, Mr. Hayashi. HAYASHI: Since you allowed the petitioner or Mr. Higgins to participate once the hearing was closed or since the motion was made, I just have some questions regarding the conditions that are proposed; and this relates to the applicant’s proposed conditions. And I’m sorry I didn’t have the opportunity to discuss it off the record with the Director. So perhaps if you can allow me a one- minute recess to discuss this with the Director because there are some enforcement problems that we may encounter if some of these conditions are adopted. WOODWARD: Does any object to allowing time for Mr. Hayashi to speak with the Director? DOMINGO: No objections. 17 EXHIBIT D
