there, sir. But it’s just the one year, after talking to BJ they have to wait one year if this situation was denied. Now I did explain to the applicant that my presence here is just a recommendation. You will have the final say. And both the applicant and I have made an agreement that regardless of what you do here today, whether you approve it or disapprove it, we are going to work on these things. He has made that commitment, to me at least. WOODWARD: Very good, thank you. Any further questions? Commissioner Domingo. DOMINGO: I would like to hear from the applicant themselves as to how they feel about the issues as outlined by the Councilman.

I’m talking about the community aspect of what I want to see there. In terms of the licensing and the building things, that’s your kuleana there. I don’t think any of us really have a real say in the community issues. I think that’s what we wish to happen, you know; and that’s why I’m here, is I wish this to happen. And if it doesn’t happen I hope you deny them. And this is what I’m saying, I will stand here with them if he applies -. If he is willing to work with this community and make their business portion -, I’m willing to stand next to him and say, hey, this is a great thing. But if it’s not I’ll be here saying like he hasn’t been -. And that’s why I’m saying no right now. But I think, I really 18 EXHIBIT B
