TORIGOE: Okay, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Basically the hearing had started at the last meeting; and as I recall the parties had agreed to a certain level of informality where basically there were no witnesses besides the applicant and the intervenor I think at the last hearing. Of course, if there are other witnesses that need to be called then I think, you know, the Commission can entertain that. Exhibits were also admitted and so, you know, the Commission should have those in the record.And, again, the parties may want to introduce other exhibits or argument at this hearing as the Commission may allow. Basically at this point you’re just continuing on with the contested case hearing as it ended last time. You have, I believe, a transcript, a draft transcript of that hearing. Some time before you go ahead today you ought to have any corrections made to that and approve it. And, also, make sure that those two Commissioners who were not here, and that would be Mr. Housel and Ms. Bowman, make sure that they’ve reviewed the transcript and the exhibits and are familiar with record. The first thing you need to do though is under your Planning Commission 4-21 it says “The Presiding Officer shall afford all interested persons an opportunity to present testimony on the matter prior to the commencement of the hearing and prior to proceedings on any subsequent day to which the proceeding is continued.” So that’s what you should do first. WOODWARD: Thank you, Mr. Torigoe; and we may have more questions for you as we go along. We do have four members of the public who have signed up to testify; and this is a little different than our usually situation, public testimony comes first in this case. So I’ll call up Suzanne Mayhew, George Kaiser, Philip Matlage, and Jean Auth, something, they couldn’t read your writing, Jean. So if you would come up to the table, have a seat, we’ll swear you in and then you may begin your testimony. Okay, we’re missing one. Mr. Kaiser. HAYASHI: Mr. Chair, Mr. Kaiser is a -. WOODWARD: Intervenor, okay, okay. All right. Will you all raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before the County of Hawaii Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS: I do. Yes. WOODWARD: Very good. I like that. Let’s begin with you. If you will speak into the microphone this will become part of the record. And before you begin your testimony state your name and address, please. AUTH: Hi. I’m Jean Auth; and my address PO Box 492585, and that’s in Keaau, th 96749. I live on 6 Street just down the road from Ms. Campbell and I work for the Department of Education at a school that is in restructuring because my students can’t pass the test. So I support Ms. Campbell if she’s going to open her house to students so that they can learn more, so that our future can be a little brighter. And that’s it. Thank you. WOODWARD: Thank out. Brevity is a source of wit. Do we have any questions for Ms. Auth? Seeing none, we’ll move on. Name and address please, and then give us what you’ve got. EXHIBIT B 3
