when the participation dissipates, then it won’t work. So that is your challenge. And that is I guess our challenge in terms of helping to facilitate that. Thank you, Mr. Chair. WATANABE: Thank you. Any further comments? Okay. I have seven other testifiers, but you know, I’ve also had a couple of Commissioners that had issues, and I’m beginning to have mine, too. So let’s take a 10-minute break so we can go to the restroom, etc. Reconvene, yeah? RECESSED The Chair called a recess at 7:38 p.m. RECONVENED The meeting reconvened at 7:50 p.m. WATANABE: The Planning Commission meeting, please come back into order. You all are a relatively well-organized group and we really appreciate that, you know. The fact that we don’t have, say, 30 or 35 people signed up, that helps. That’s it.It has been a real long day for us. I mean, I’ve been here since 9:00 this morning. So, and I’m not looking for sympathy; I’m just asking for cooperation -. WOODWARD: Yes, you are. WATANABE: Really, we are asking for some cooperation here. Some of you, I think, had some real heartfelt messages to deliver – I can appreciate that. But can we kind of try and watch the clock, yeah? We have seven more people, so we want to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to testify. With that, let me call up the next four that I have on my list: Marjorie Mrasek, Anika Glass, Beverly Brand, Pohai Kirkland. Do we have those four individuals here? Okay, great. May I swear you in, please.Would you raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS: Yes, I do. WATANABE: Thank you. And I guess you have a mike. So name and address first, please, and -. MRASEK: My name is Marjorie Mrasek. I live at 68-3840 Lua Kula Street, E206, in Waikoloa Village. I’ve lived there about ten years. I urge your adoption as the Planning Commissioners as an ordinance the South Kohala CDP Steering Committee pre-final draft. As a concerned and involved citizen, I participated early on as a member of the Waikoloa Village Logistics Team, also known as the Log Team. That Log Team was the guiding force behind the many town meetings and talk-stories that were held, leading up to the formation of the South Kohala Steering Committee. This draft reflects untold hours of grassroots to directed Committee work. Our community, Waikoloa Village, is eager to witness action by our County government, beginning with you, as a direct result of the CDP process. At this time I would like to acknowledge and to thank Sara Peck who was Waikoloa Village’s, Sara was our excellent and most able Log Team facilitator and mentor, and we do want to recognize her. And also I’d like to acknowledge and thank the Village’s three Steering Committee members: Pohai Kirkland, EXHIBIT E 22
