ALEXANDRA: Sorry, I’d just like to add one more thing. With the planters that <br />were painted, in addition to the DIA Beautification Committee, the Rotary Club of Hilo, <br />and also Connections Public Charter School were involved with that. So I’d just like to <br />acknowledge them. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you, Ms. Alexandra. <br />DOMINGO: Mr. Chairman? <br />GRAHAM: Mr. Domingo. <br />DOMINGO: Out of all those participants, potential participants, that there may <br />be, how many percent buy-in do you have with regards to the plan and what are you folks <br />doing? <br />ALEXANDRA: Could you repeat that, please. Percentage of participants -? <br />DOMINGO: Yeah. Of all potential participants, how many percent of them are <br />buying into the plan? <br />ALEXANDRA: Oh, okay. So in terms of the Lead Solution Partners, as I <br />mentioned, we have 28 so far who have committed. I think the total Lead Solution <br />Partners identified is between 40 and 50, so I’d say roughly half so far of Lead Solution <br />Partners. <br />DOMINGO: I guess when they see the progress and they see that it’s beginning <br />to develop and become something of worth, then they’ll come in and participate also. <br />Typical human behavior, I guess. <br />ALEXANDRA: Yes. As we said we’re in the first 18 months so far of <br />implementation. So it’s very early on. And one of our goals for this next year is to <br />encourage greater participation with the Lead Solution Partners who have not yet <br />committed to their actions. So we’re working with them to figure out how they can <br />participate and what needs to happen. So it’s definitely one of our goals for this next <br />year. <br />GRAHAM: Mr. Nash? <br />NASH: And if I can add, I know you, when I heard you use the word <br />“potential,” you know, we have these 40 or 50 Lead Solution Partners that were identified <br />by the community, and that was not these Lead Solution Partners at that time stepping <br />forward and saying, hey, I’ll do it. So we’re not going to, we’re not intending to push <br />this on anybody who does not want to be a participant. And for those who say, no, I’m <br />sorry, I just don’t have the time, we go out and we find more. So when you say potential, <br />there are so many potential Lead Solution Partners out there. I think we’ve really barely <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />9 <br /> <br />
