SIRACUSA: May I -. You said that sometimes you also get your diesel at Wiki Wiki in Orchidland. Is it more expensive there than in Hilo or the other way around? SUMIDA: We buy it in bulk so -. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Hawaii Fueling Network but it’s, I guess Wiki Wiki is part of their network. So it just totals up at the end of the month, and it’s a bulk rate. SIRACUSA: Okay, the reason I’m asking these questions is because we had been talking before about the possibility of increasing from a four-mile radius to a six-mile radius for, you know, for looking for another location. And so I was trying to figure out since your attorney mentioned that the cost of diesel was an important factor so -. SUMIDA: Well, I think that’s everybody’s factor now. It used to be labor and now it’s fuel. SIRACUSA: So if for example something became available up the Pahoa dump road, you would have to buy your diesel from say the Malama Market Place. Do you know if that is more expensive there or -? SUMIDA: I don’t deal with that fueling network and it costs more money to run farther. My trucks run out of Hilo, the other trucks run out of Hilo. So before they come back home I always tell the driver just fuel up in Hilo. SIRACUSA: Okay, thank you. WATANABE: Are we done with the questions then? Okay, do you have anything further to add, Ms. Song? SONG: I think the Commission has heard enough. WATANABE: The bulk of it, okay, very good. Then you may be seated and we’ll try to get into deliberations. Well, we’ve heard the testimony, we’ve heard the questions. What’s your pleasure, Commissioners? Does anyone care to make a motion or you want to discuss this first to some degree before we have a motion made? Yes, Ms. Bowman. BOWMAN: I have a question. Having looked at the other special permits, I noticed that there are two that are up, I think, in about 2010, which gives them about two more years; and then the other three were up last year, is that right, the five existing special permits? DARROW: We have two that are, that the time has expired. That’s Excavation Tech which is located across the road in this particular area here. And we also have John Gapp’s special permit that they were, Mr. Gapp had given testimony today, theirs had expired in November of 2007. We also have Walter Tavares who’s about to come before the Planning Commission, theirs expires this month, actually, 2008. WATANABE: While we’re on that, may I also ask how many of those indicated that an extension would not be provided if paving was not accomplished? EXHIBIT C 18
