not going to vouch for where they stand right now. But as of, you know, we spoke to all
<br />the people that -.
<br />KAISER:Actually, now I remember Mr. Cabral, when I went to his office,
<br />Mr. McCall, Randy Cabral said that he, we took a look at the map and he was listed on
<br />the property tax web site as being, I cant remember it was a lessee of an adjoining
<br />property. And then when I went in there and we spent time looking at the map, he said,
<br />in fact, that that was an error and that he was not a lessee of an adjoining property, or I
<br />cant remember what it was, but it didnt apply to him. So thats where Mr. Cabral stood.
<br />MCCALL:Okay.
<br />MCKINNEY:So, as I said, I cant vouch for everyones support. But before we
<br />even sent out the first round of letters, we went around and spoke with everyone; and if it
<br />wasnt,Hey,guys,thisisgreat,itwas,Idontcare.
<br />MCCALL:Ithinkthatsalittledifferent,itsalittledifferentfromwhatyour
<br />background says, though. It says that all your neighbors expressed their support.
<br />MCKINNEY:Well, and I understand that; but I think the support of at least, Im
<br />not, you know, sound, I dont think anyone really argues with working with kids. If
<br />thats misleading, I apologize.
<br />GALDONES:Commissioner Alameda?
<br />ALAMEDA:Aloha, again. I wanted to just read and then, read you the
<br />definition on Special Treatment Facility and then tell me how, cause Im just trying to
<br />think, you know, how to be helpful to you so that you dont spin your wheels. And its a
<br />documentation, I guess, you provided. It says, Special Treatment Facility means a
<br />facility which provides a therapeutic residential program for care, diagnosis and treatment
<br />or rehabilitation services for socially or emotionally-distressed persons, mentally ill
<br />persons, person suffering from substance abuse, and developmentally disabled persons.
<br />And the reason I bring it up is cause if you go back to your original kind of background
<br />information, and Ill read it again that, We have included in this application the desire to
<br />operate as a Special Treatment Facility because while our program is voluntary and deals
<br />only with high-functioning, compliant students, and then it continues, its just not fitting
<br />that definition. So whats your thoughts on that? Go ahead.
<br />MCKINNEY:Well, I think the socially or emotionally-distressed would probably
<br />be the area that would be most similar. I mean, thats a very subjective thing, you know,
<br />as we do an intake process. There are, theres lot of paperwork, theres interviews -.
<br />ALAMEDA:Right.
<br />MCKINNEY:Theres reviewing of any kind of testing going on. So, you know,
<br />these students are not referred, theyre referred to us for a reason. Now, whether they
