WATANABE: I beg your pardon? You’ll pass at this time, you said? WARNER: I was his understudy. WATANABE: Oh, okay. WARNER: And he showed up at the last minute, made the curtain, so -. WATANABE: Okay. In the event that someone does ask or you do need to respond to some of the questions, since I already swore you in, just for the record, would you state your full name and address. And that way, you know, I wouldn’t have to interrupt you. WARNER: Okay. Sherman Warner. I live at 62-2040 Mahua Street in Kamuela, 96743. WATANABE: Great. Thank you, thank you. Then, with that -. Yes, Mr. Woodward. WOODWARD: Well, as usual – and Commissioner Bowman called me Simon the other day when I was asking questions, from what, American Idol. Well, first of all, I want to compliment Allen Salavea again for doing a great job on this and all of the Steering Committee and the people that have contributed to this. And I think we are getting better at this process as we go along, you know. I read this 200-or-so-page thing, and there were only a couple of things that came up. One of the first things I have a question about, and I think it’s already been answered in part by Allen and the various participants, this is the first time we’ve ever seen five CDPs in one: we have an umbrella CDP, and then we have four individual CDPs for each of the larger communities in South Kohala. And the way I looked at that was there are either two things going on here – one is these communities are so diverse that they don’t have anything in common and therefore they have to have their own CDP, or these people just can’t get along. And so I’d like to hear from somebody which one it is. Then I have a few more things. But I’d like to hear that first. WATANABE: Mr. Tsuchida first maybe, and then we’ll have Dr. Bergin address that? TSUCHIDA: From my point of view as the planning consultant, I would say the situation is very much the former, i.e. the diversity was such that the Steering Committee felt both collectively, as well as as representatives of their particular community, that the CDP really did need to focus on very specific issues specific to those four separate communities. There certainly are some overarching commonalities, but there are a lot of details like, you know, if we just take Kawaihae and the port and the Superferry coming and the historic sites in that area, etc. – that’s very special to Kawaihae, so -. WOODWARD: Okay, fair enough. If I might get into a few specifics, if that’s all right, Mr. Chairman. WATANABE: Sure. EXHIBIT E 8
