GRAHAM:But I didnt read that in here. That is part of what youre going to do <br />though? <br />SAVIO:Yeah. This is a community-based project. They are my board of <br />directors. They are telling me what they want. I am simply working for them in implementing <br />the plans that are required. Once the County agrees to whatever the requirements are its simply <br />a question of getting the bids, deciding which one to accept, and, you know, whether its the <br />lowest or second lowest, I mean, I dont know yet. But well decide who gets the bid, and then <br />we implement it. There is no, theres nothing added to the cost for the bids over and above what <br />Im entitled. Theres not another fee, theres no money, theres nothing hidden. Its a <br />completely, a glass ball. We operate in a glass ball. The community is involved in all the <br />decisions and has been in all the decisions. Every decision that has been made up to who gets to <br />buy the lots was decided by the community. They gave me a pecking order that we have to <br />follow. Theyre involved in all of the decisions. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA:Yeah. I noticed that there was a map in the materials that we got that <br />showedthe,howthelotsweregoingtobelaidoutandwherethereweregoingtobeflaglotsso <br />that otherwise landlocked properties could be accessed. But I also read that a lot of that is going <br />to be flexible, how many 5-acrelots, how many ten-, etc. and where theyre going to be. So it <br />seems like were having to play on flexibility with, well, then you tell me, €cause, one of the -. <br />What Im leading to is the people who have licenses now that are farming I understand that they <br />will get the first dips; and so will they be applying for the lots theyre farming now? I assume -. <br />SAVIO:Theyre already are. <br />SIRACUSA:That they have, they have already? <br />SAVIO:Yes. <br />SIRACUSA:Okay. I assume that since theyve got already a lot of sweat equity into <br />those lots -. <br />SAVIO:Correct. <br />SIRACUSA:That they would want to continue with that. <br />SAVIO:Yeah, the pecking order requires that the lots, first, we offer to the lessee <br />on the property. And then family or friends of his, or family, I think, direct family have the right <br />to buy adjoining parcels, etc. We actually have gone through the pecking order. We were issued <br />a preliminary public report which allowed us to go market and reserve the properties. And the <br />majority of the people in Pahala have already reserved the property they want; and they came in <br />and they picked the lots, we went through the pecking order. Basically all the lots were spoken <br />to; and I believe all of them are within, we never got passed Ka€u as we went through the <br />pecking order. After Ka€u, I think, came residents of the Big Island and after that came residents <br />12 <br /> <br />
