On Page 1-1, paragraph 5, I found an error. They had the word ÐMakaÒainaÑ and actually it should be ÐMakaÒinana,Ñ which is the proper Hawaiian term for Ðcommoner.Ñ And on Page 2-1, the correct diacritical marks for ÐMalama KiÑ should have the macron or macona over the word ÐKÑ. I also had another one that I wondered whether the Council should consider whether the word ÐhiÒaÑ should be changed to ÐhiÒa-lehuaÑ to actually reference the tree that they are referring to; and that is because the word ÐhiÒaÑ in the Hawaiian language dictionary can also mean mountain apple, a tomato, a native variety of sugar cane, and a variety of taro, among other meanings. And so those are non-substantive, but I wanted to submit those for your consideration. WOODWARD: Okay, thank you, Madam Director. Do we have any quest Okay, seeing none, we do have four people from the public signed up to testify. If we can get you to come up as I call your name, have a seat at the table here, Daniel Taylor, Jon Olson, Rob Tucker and Tim Rees. REES: I was testifying on a later matter. WOODWARD: Oh, okay. LetÓs see, if I could get you, letÓs see, you two gentlemen have already been sworn in. IÓd like to swear you in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? TAYLOR: I do. WOODWARD: All right, very good. And Mr. Taylor, you have signed up first. If youÓll give us your name and address, and then you may begin your testimony. TAYLOR: Okay. My name is Daniel Taylor. IÓm a resident of Volcano community. I have been a resident in HawaiÒi for about 30 years. And I represent the Action Committee for the Puna Community Development Plan, and IÓm speaking on their behalf. But IÓd like to point out, you all lowlanders are wearing short sleeves and I am cold in this room. I had to put a sweater on to keep myself going here. IÓd like to complement the Planning Director. We are very gratified by the amount of attention you gave to our letter and to the very rational well-thought response to us. And IÓd like to pass on the respects of the Action Committee, too, for that. What remains with respect to Bill 194, just a few points where weÓd like to simply clarify some of our thinking, we donÓt have a disagreement with anything. We simply would like to clarify some of our thinking on five points. And theyÓre listed in a 2 page thing we copied for you; and theyÓre available. IÓm not, IÓm not going to bore you by reading it, besides we have to get off for lunch in a few more minutes. 5 EXHIBIT B
