through Naalehu. How do you plan to improve that so thataccessibility would be something much more desirable than it is? MCKINNEY:Well, Chris has been driving that road just about every day for the last year. We have all 4-wheel drive vehicles, we probably have a couple of Suburbans, so that we could go over anything we needed to. Its confusing, this, the whole road and who owns what. Our property goes across the road. According to the last C. Brewer survey map that we saw, and I based our site plan on that map, but that wash is repaired; and I know Mr. Cross said its on his property. Im not sure what all the residents up there are going to do. I mean, Im not, I dont, I understand theres some liability issue. As a Special Treatment Facility, were going to have lots of liability insurance, theres all that kind of stuff. But I just wonder, I assume this is a topic that every person that owns a piece of property has to deal with, going through other peoples property. And I assume were all going to come to some kind of agreement that were all going to allow each othertogothrougheachothersproperty,orelsenoonecangettotheirland. KAISER:Theconditionoftheroadis,Iwouldsay,Iwouldcharacterizeitas fair. The gulch is repaired and its a little bumpy, but its not bad. I drive it almost every other day. GALDONES:Being that this is a road in limbo and Mr. Cross says that it should be considered as a government road, we are not, if youre not successful in having it designated as a government road, are you prepared to do some repairs so that families of the children that you have there would be able to access it without a 4-wheel drive vehicle? MCKINNEY:Yes. I mean, thats certainly something wed be willing to consider. I mean, were not a multi-million dollar organization where we can throw around tons of money. I mean, as I said, I think its going to be the responsibility of all the property owners up there to kind of get together. If its not government then there should be probably some homeowners association. But, you know, we sent, weve got a letter from the Department of Public Works who have no objections to the request and did designate it as a government right-of-way. But we, certainly, will make it drivable -. The other thing, too, is were not going to have a lot of traffic up there. Families dont just get to come whenever they want and visit their children. You know, a lot of the kids we get, theres family dynamic issues, too, so -. And that was one of the concerns raised by Mr. Silva, was the amount of traffic, and we would be very limited in that respect. KAISER:Yeah. Were not, the, our clients or students are not leaving the facility everyday and driving down. And, so, were talking about maybe two or three staff people to and from each day, so pretty minimal compared to whats already up there on the road. GALDONES:Mr. Silva? 24
