Zaldivar: And, I also read that if we do something outside of the house rules, we can remedy it and there's a small fine of $50.00 here and there. I would be willing to work with the association, I'm a collaborative organization, and as you can see with 35 letters of support, they want this, the community needs it, there's nothing to eat and nothing to do in that little center in Kona there, and across the street there's a hostel, they need stuff and pick-up sandwiches. And, I don't know, have you heard of "Ike's Sandwiches?" They're coming, it's going to be their first franchise here in Hawaii, in all of the Hawaiian Islands, they have over 100 shops in California, Arizona, and Louisiana. So, I'm bringing Ike's into the shop, it's going to be very exciting because he's a worldwide brand, Ike's does all kinds of really good things. We're going to bring a lot of fun, family -friendly entertainment there, food and coconuts. If somebody wants a coconut with rum in it, this will be kind of the only places on the Big Island to do that, and in a style and a way that's going to give back more than just a bar or anything. Proceeds for that is going to be coming back to the island, we're planting coconut trees, we have a big project planned on this side with some partners, so it's about a long game community collaborative event, so this is what this is. Greenwell: Again, can I call you Vin? Zaldivar: Please. Greenwell: We're just trying to get our ducks in a row. Zaldivar: Amen. Greenwell: Your hours of operation until 2:00 a.m. in the morning? Zaldivar: Where's that? Greenwell: In the application here it said you were gonna start at 10:00 a.m. in the morning, and go until 2:00 a.m. the following day. Zaldivar: Well, I read the rules, there's a quiet hour that starts at 9:00 p.m., and then I'd say we were just going to probably go within the rules of the association until about 10:00 p.m., and not do 2:00 a.m. Greenwell: Okay, I'm just going by what I read here. Zaldivar: I didn't even remember putting that, maybe we just put max just trying to max out I guess, I don't know, I don't remember that. Younger: When we were filling it out, they said put the max amount that you think you could do, and then you can lessen it, but so that's why. Greenwell: Okay, but you're putting the max amount Younger: No. MINUTES - LIQUOR COMMISSION MEETING - THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 2025 - HILO PAGE 30 OF 71
