Third item on our agenda today under New Business, <br />Initiator is the County Council, it’s an amendment to Chapter 25, the Zoning Code, which <br />would permit wind energy facilities in the Open zoned district. As with the other <br />initiated by the County Council things that come before us, I believe we’re going to have <br />a hearing today, and we’ll have one in Hilo also at our next one.So we probably will not <br />take any action on making a recommendation today. So we don’t have any public here so <br />I assume we have no public testifiers. And it looks like Norman is standing up so maybe <br />Norman is going to give us a little background report on this Agenda Item 3 of the <br />change in the Zoning Code to permit wind energy facilities in the Open zoned district. <br />Norman. <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />1 <br /> <br />
