HOUSEL: Aye. DARROW: The motion passes, six to one. HOUSEL: Thank you, Mr. Darrow. Okay. The question is you made a petition for continuance. Would you like to explain that to the -? P. OLSON: Well, I agree that we can make this thing go a lot quicker and there is a lot of energy and emotion in this whole thing, but -. HOUSEL: Could you hold your microphone a little closer? P. OLSON: I agree with trying to make this thing go along quicker and a lot of the stuff we’ve st already made a record of in our letter, on December 1we wrote a letter. We also indicated in the subsequent letter to the Commission that the Kanuhas will be joining that request. And under Rule 4-6(e), we are allowed to have 20 days for the Kanuhas from granting of standing in this case; so we would submit in our letters the Commission’s ruling today to allow Jerome Kanuha and Kanuha ‘Ohana standing, I mean just to incorporate the arguments therein. HOUSEL: Now, you’ve submitted documents already as a joinder, right? P. OLSON: Correct. We formally joined the Kanuhas in the request for continuance, and we’ve st already documented that the reasons for our request in December 1 letter to Mr. Chair, and again in following letters in response to Mr. Yeh Kanuha’s joinder in the request. HOUSEL: Okay, so, are you -. P. OLSON: I can reiterate it for you. I’m just trying to save time. You guys have our reasons. I can go into them, if you want me to. I’ll do so, if you -. HOUSEL: I think I’d like to ask Mr. Yeh his position on this. YEH: I think, you know, the Commission having determined standing presumably under Rule 4- 6(e), then if you’re going to apply that part of the rule, I think it then means that this 20-day suspension period applies. So, you know, be that as it may, that’s probably where we are at this juncture. Now, there is a hearing scheduled tomorrow, but I’m not sure what’s going to take place at that time. HOUSEL: Okay. Could I ask the Planning Director her position on this? YEH: And while we are talking about it, I mean, you know, from a precedent standpoint I think the general concern probably is, from our part again, is, well, what’s to stop someone from coming in next time we convene. So that’s just the overall issue that we have. HOUSEL: I understand, yes, I understand. P. OLSON: Mr. Chair, if you want me to go into my reasons for the continuance as well for the record, or are you comfortable with what I’ve already written? 30 EXHIBIT D
