And then I have one more sentence before you folks hopefully respond to that. In summation I am opposed to the Superstore District amendment as I believe that it is inconsistent with the Planning Commission’s previous majority vote not to permit superstores on July 6, 2007. ALAMEDA: All right. Any questions for Greg? Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA: Well, it’s not exactly a question, but I think there has been some misperception on the part of the general public about coming out to Kona for people’s mana‘o. And I think we should clarify that, so we don’t hear the same thing from everybody who comes up; and that is that the first time they had failed to agendize it properly, and there was a Kona meeting, and the other -, the County initiated resolution was on the agenda but not the Director’s one that we’re hearing today, and although it was not agendized we did hear testimony on it. Okay? The second time we had it cancelled. And this happens sometimes because there wasn’t a quorum. And we can’t do business without a quorum. It’s not like we can just sit here, and take testimony, and not make a decision; we can’t even take the testimony. And so it wasn’t like there was something deliberate or scheme of foot or something like that; it’s just the way things happened that some people couldn’t make it to Kona. And I was one of them; my car died, I couldn’t get here. So that sort of thing happens. As soon as Sharon knows that there is not a quorum, she takes immediate action to cancel. But not everyone finds out in time about that, and we regret that. But that’s just, you know, that’s life, so -. ALAMEDA: All right. Any questions for Greg? Thank you, Greg, for your testimony. Appreciate your coming. Ms. Bill? BILL: I want to thank you for allowing me to have something to say again -. ALAMEDA: Okay, how about -. BILL: And the warmth of Mr. Domingo making me feel comfortable. I’d like to say a prayer for Hawaii for all of us -. ALAMEDA: How about -. BILL: If you don’t mind -. ALAMEDA: How about you give your name and address for the record first? BILL: My name is Scarlett O’Hara Bill. ALAMEDA: Is your prayer long? BILL: No. ALAMEDA: Okay. Did we get your address? Did we get it? I’ve got address, yeah? Oh, your address, your home address? BILL: My address? 73-4820 Anini Street, Kailua-Kona. I’m on the corner of Anini and Hina Lani where there have been so many deaths. EXHIBIT F 5
