/109:42 AM Greenwell: I read this, and I know a little bit about the history and stuff. It's basically two State departments cannot agree on the ownership of this land, and that's why they cannot commensurate a lease agreement. Nishimoto: So, the good cause would be to give them time to work it out. Greenwell: The act was passed over 20 years ago, and the Department of Ag (Agriculture) and DLNR (Department of Land and Natural Resources) cannot agree on how they're going to divide the pie. Nishimoto: So, they have a year, they're asking for 12 months. Are you seconding? Greenwell: I can second it. Commissioner Okabe moved to approve the request to extend the time issuance of the liquor license for good cause shown, for an additional 12 months, from May 7, 2024, to and including May 7, 2025, by letter received May 1, 2024, of its Dispenser Beer and Wine liquor license, Category B2, located at 98-1900 Hawaii Belt Road, Pahala, Hawaii; Seconded by Commissioner Greenwell.

Nishimoto: All those opposed say "Nay." There was no opposition by Commissioners. The motion was carried unanimously. b.
