and do something wonderful with it. We have the opportunity right now while itÓs empty before it becomes these massive gated communities to make it be and a part of what goes on here. And thatÓs all IÓm asking, is that we would take this opportunity to do the right thing, and not just the profitable thing. Thank you very much. GALDONES:Thank you, Ms. Logsdon. Commissioners, any questions o Ms. Logsdon? Commissioner Springer? SPRINGER:Thank you. Could you cite the title of that document that you referred to and when it was prepared? LOGSDON:Which? Oh -. SPRINGER:The strategic plan? LOGSDON:I can get you that information. We did it in 2001. Hil Community Development Corporation was the author of it, HHCDC, Hilo-Hamakua Community Development Corporation; and we can get a copy for everyone if theyÓd like to see it. SPRINGER:Thank you. GALDONES:Any further questions? If not, Ms. Rohr? Please state your name, your residence address and you may begin your testimony. ROHR:My name is Claudia Rohr and I live at 369 Nene Street, Hilo. I have just a couple of items to share with you to help your understanding of what weÓre talking about. But, first, IÓm afraid I have to address an issue that I didnÓt realize I had to bring up again. Commissioner Kubota, I thought you excused yourself from this hearing. I didnÓt realize I had to bring it up on each and every meeting or hearing. I have written to the Commission -. GALDONES:Ms. Rohr, hold on. IÓd like to resolve that issue first. KUBOTA:Thank you. Would you please inform her. GALDONES:Yes. Ms. OÓToole, Ms. Kubota had recused herself from decision-making, but IÓm not so sure if she was also recused from the discussion and the deliberation. ROHR:May I please say IÓm hard of hearing and will everybody speak clearly into the microphone and donÓt speak too quickly. Thank you. KUBOTA:Mr. Chair? I speak loudly and clearly so may I tell her what my intentions are? 16
