downtown Hilo. All of those things, you need to stay on top of that; and those are good things that can be done. But laws need to be made to do it; and, you know, you need to work with the Council people and the people who have the actual legal authority to do it to get it done. But my concern is that if you allow the community to step back away from the process now then its going to end up with a lot of dust on it. GALDONES:Ms. Moon? MOON:Well, we appreciate your concerns; we have those concerns also. And thats why were really looking very carefully at the implementation process to assure that it involves community members all the way along the path. And, again, just the volume of the lead solution partners and then multiply that by the supporting solution partners, I think that, I mean, I personally can say, you know, Im going to be, Im a watchdog. So, I mean, I am involved in it as much as I can. IWASHITA:Be a bull dog. MOON:Yeah, well, Ive been accused of that. But, you know, this is, you speak of yourcommunityand,youknow,IjustwanttoremindusallthatitsourDowntown.Sowere all stakeholders. So when you see these happenings, I encourage you to participate in them and to be a part of that community because you are a part of the Downtown Community, whether you live, work, play or even just drive through there. And, you know, your comment about the Puna people, we had lots of, several Puna people involved in our process; and they, too, expressed that, boy, you know, were a lot alike, we have a lot of the same issues and concerns. So I think it behooves us to take all ownership of this process and all along the way thats what were going to insist on. So I invite you to become part of that process as well. And I appreciate your comments and feedback, its important. GALDONES:Okay. Any further questions or comments to Ms. Moon or Ms. Gagorik? Otherwise, there are two individuals from the public who have signed up to testify. Susan and Alice if you could render the chairs to these people. Excuse me, sir. Mr. Clark, are you going to be testifying, too? CLARK:Yes, sir. GALDONES:Could you please come forward, then I can have you folks sworn in at the same time. Is there anybody else from the public going to be testifying? Can you please step forward, too? Do we have enough chairs for all of you? Could you please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS:I do. GALDONES:Okay, well start with you, Maam. Could you state your name and your residence address. Could you speak into the microphone so we can have you recorded. Maam? 11EXHIBIT B
