evidence has already been, is in evidence; and in their oral arguments they can revisit this evidence and give their arguments for it. But Im not sure -. It seems to me were just making more trouble for ourselves if we do that; but I dont know, lets see what our Corporation Counsel says about that. GALDONES:Mr. Torigoe? TORIGOE:Well, you know, to the extent that the parties are willing to reopen the hearing then youre probably, its probably safer to allow the parties to have their say. I understand the County is willing to reopen it. I dont know if Mr. Fulks has any objection to that. FULKS:I would have no objection. GALDONES:Okay.So,then,Commissioners,Imgoingtocounton,relyon our Corporation Counsel to try to keep us out of trouble. So if I misstate anything, Mr. Torigoe, please jump in. The matter before us, procedurally, we need to decide if we want to open up the hearing to accept oral arguments. Also, as Ms. Song had indicated, she would like the opportunity to present other evidence. SPRINGER:Mr. Chair, is the motion in order at this time now? GALDONES:Yes, maam. SPRINGER:Mr. Chair, I move that on the matter of Ainaloa Development Corporation, SPP No. 827/UP No. 106, that the Hawai`i County Planning Commission reopen the hearing in order to receive additional testimony, including oral arguments from the parties. GALDONES:Commissioner Siracusa? Is there a second to the motion? GRAHAM:Second. GALDONES:All right. It has been moved by Commissioner Springer and seconded by Commissioner Graham that we open up the hearing to allow oral arguments and further evidence be presented to the Commissioners. Discussion? SIRACUSA:At that time would the Commissioners be able to question the parties? GALDONES:Yes, you do. Any further discussion? From counsel, Ms. Song, do you have any comments on the motion before us? SONG:I just would request that it be granted. GALDONES:Ms. Todd, no comment? 14
