TESTIFIERS:I do. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. We’ll start off on my left. Could you please state your name <br />and address, ma’am, for the record, and speak into the mike? <br />VIDGEN:My name is Jeannette Vidgen and I am a concerned citizen of Kailua. <br />SIRACUSA:Could you please speak louder so that we can hear you. <br />VIDGEN:My name is Jeannette Vidgen. I reside at 78-630 Ihalani Place. I work at <br />Current Events, which is in the Territorial Center, which is at 75-5751 Kuakini Highway, Suite <br />202. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you, Jeannette. And, Sir, could you please state your name and <br />address for the record? <br />CHOY:I’m Danny Choy. I live at 73-1165 Oluolu Street in Kailua-Kona. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you, Danny. Jeannette, you’ve heard our discussion; and thank you <br />for showing up. This is a public hearing. We appreciate your time.

We’ve heard testimony about the equipment, about various things, <br />the code, the law, health, you know, the smoke, emissions, all those kinds of things and those are <br />all important issues that you have dealt with pretty thoroughly over the, you know, the last <br />several meetings that I’ve attended, with both this Commission and with the Design Committee, <br />I think. One of the things that we also want to be aware of is that when we undertake different <br />projects or different things that come up that are important, we want to scrutinize and pay <br />attention to all the details. One of the areas of details that I think is important is the quality of the <br />people that you deal with. I believe in the people who run A Hui Hou Services. They are people <br />of integrity, they are loving, caring people. They’re the kind of people that we need in business <br />in Hawai`i, in here, in Kona. The way that they operate, the way that they care for the people <br />that they service, is a benefit to us as a people here in this place. And I just wanted to say that I <br />EXHIBIT A <br />11 <br /> <br />
