The Ag-Based Commercial Operations declaration is primarily for uses that have a retail component that invites customers onto the property. It is our understanding that in this case, the micro -distillery will produce spirits that will be sold wholesale to other businesses and will not include an on -site customer component, thus the Ag-Based Commercial Operations designation is not applicable.

I'm circling back to this email so I can ensure that I have all required documents in file regarding Hamakua Distillery LLC's liquor license application for a Manufacture liquor license. Hamakua Distillery LLC is applying for a Manufacture liquor license to manufacture distilled spirits on TMK 2-8- 008:004. Your email below confirms that a proposed micro -distillery as described in the attached email that was submitted by Charmaine Banther, is classified as Agricultural Products Processing, Minor and pursuant to the zoning code, no additional land use entitlements were required, however, I'm just checking to see if an approved Ag-Based Commercial Operation Certification ("Certification") is needed. Typically, we have the approved certification in file when manufacturing/distilling/commercial activity is being done on an Ag-zoned parcel. If your email below is in lieu of an approved Certification, then please advise and I will add your email to their file. I will check in with Charmaine regarding your mention of them obtaining a building permit from DPW. I'm assuming this is for their as -built structure that was approved under their Declaration of Compliance (permits will be for plumbing and electrical).

We stopped into the Planning Department today for some help with our dream project and the folks suggested vvetalk toyou two for assistance. Keith was anaward winning executive chef inAsia some time ago and has always had the dream ofcreating fine handcrafted spirits. VVehave been following the farm [oflask movement for some time and dream of creating a micro craft distillery on our farm to use our farm products in making small batch spirits. With Keith's honed palate and the bounty of our land we think we can make something that our island can beproud of. Over the past 4 years we have contributed over 35,000 lbs. of 'ulu to the co-op and plan to continue doing so even with our distillery. VVeare only planning an extremely small production and it will not interfere with our growing for the co- op. We are currently i,n process with the TTB and have started working with Stacie at the Liquor commission. VVehave the funding needed to begin our distillery and the support of family and friends. Our business will bewholesale xo distributors only. No customers or tasting on the premises. Originally,- ht we could process our 'ulu and bananas to spirits under the agriculture rules for the county but it seems we might need something else. Can you help us ac Our TMKis2-8-0-44 We appreciate your time and help on this project. Charmaine Banther and Keith Steele Keith cell QO0-443'4144 C. Kimo Alameda, Ph.D. 4IN 0 Mayor William V.

Kimo Alameda, Ph.D., Mayor Gerald Takase, Director Sidney Fuke, Board Member May 23, 2025 Gerald A. Takase Director SUBJECT: NABCA 88th Annual Conference —Forward Together, Stronger Tomorrow May 18-22, 2025 Orlando, Florida Pursuant to Section 2-100(b) of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (as amended), the following report is submitted for the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association ("NABCA") 88th Annual Conference held May 18-22, 2025 at the Gaylord Palms Hotel, Orlando, Florida. About 900 government representatives, beverage alcohol industry participants, media, and other affiliates from across the United States joined NABCA for its 88th Annual Conference. Presentations from NABCA regulatory and policy staff provided updates about what they see taking place across the U.S. as it impacts beverage alcohol nationwide. The discussion addressed hemp, tariffs and enforcement issues. They noted that the alcohol industry is facing a significant drop over what had been ever increasing sales and that while no one has directly correlated it, a lot of the loss, especially in the younger generations, seems to be related to increased marijuana use. This can be in the form of direct ingestion or through its infusion into a myriad of products, now on the market and in large part unregulated. The Music Paradigm After a 12-year absence, the Music Paradigm made its second appearance at the NABCA Annual Conference. delivering an interactive learning experience about organizational dynamics. Musical conductor Roger Nierenberg's passion for live, classical music is what motivates him to use a live orchestra as a metaphor to demonstrate how rethinking leadership style, philosophies, teamwork and effectiveness dynamically affects an organization. He placed professional musicians, who he had never met before a 7.30 a.m. practice, amongst the audience who were invited to "spy" and observe them perform. Nierenberg's instructions Hawai'i County is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer Page -2- May 23, 2025 were to "select a single musician" and "feast your eyes on their athletic act and to be impressed by their hands and coordination, or the strength with which they are playing." He also invited several unsuspecting attendees on stage to observe the live orchestra and share what they noticed from the perspective change of sitting in the audience looking at the musician's backs, to being on stage and seeing the entire room, including the faces and physical engagement when playing their respective instruments. He asked participants what they observed and connected this activity and the observations to organization leadership and dynamics in work teams' cohesiveness or dysfunctions. The point behind that exercise showed that some people who are close to decisions being made have a fuller, richer knowledge about an organization's future direction, while those in the fringe feel they have no idea about what is going on. Nierenberg developed this dynamic, interactive session specifically for NABCA to creatively show eye-opening lessons in leadership, listening, trust and teamwork, using the orchestra. Throughout this engaging presentation, Nierenberg visually delivered many messages, some of which were: • By collaborating across boundaries, it is possible to imagine the whole picture of an organization and see how an individual fits in. • People who take accountability are so good that the rest of the world may not know an organization is dysfunction. • Directions are much easier to follow when they are clear and focused. • A "conductor" (or organization's leader) needs to fully understand a "musical composition" (the big picture) and share it with everyone so all can make great music and can see that vision also. • A self -focused person gets in his/her own way and needs to let go of these self limitations by changing to become part of the best "orchestra" (or team) versus being the best individual. The program concluded with Nierenberg inviting everyone in the audience to change seats and to even stand on stage, to listen to the full performance for this presentation called, "The Music Paradigm." It was an unusual, but highly effective way to show the interactions between leadership and teamwork. What started out as a what is this moment became a highly effective teaching tool. Lights, Camera, Listing Acts 1 and 2 This entertaining reenactment of the process of getting a new alcohol product into a Control Market was separated into two sessions theatrically referred to as "acts." Presenters and moderators sought a new way to deliver listing related content to attendees. Throughout both acts, the presentation was jovial in nature. The presenters engaged the audience with the passing of each "scene" as they delivered valuable information while emulating the process preceding and during listing conversations with a brand seeking to enter a fictional control jurisdiction's market. During Act One, the groundwork for a few scenes in which a well -funded and thought-out brand approach was contrasted with a poorly executed brand strategy. In Scene One, David Jackson, acting as the proprietor of the fictional Greenwich Reserve Moonshine, laid out a Page -3- May 23, 2025 poorly developed concept. In a follow-up scene, Reed Davis, Kristen Kappel, and Amy Johns represented the fictional brand Oro del Desierto and effectively illustrated a thoroughly fleshed out brand concept. The regulator remarked in reviewing the scene that "hope is not a business plan" and noted that concept development and product research are key parts of the process preceding listing discussions. In Scene Two, the audience witnessed the contrasting products approach to the innovation process, highlighting the importance of consumer centricity in brand development as well as the value of research into scaling up and projected time to market as both are highly influential when it comes to brand success. As Scene Three began, the audience found themselves watching a vignette where Greenwich Reserve Moonshine and Oro del Desierto were pitched to brokers. They made sure to clue the audience to the idea that the role of a broker is to execute on behalf of their partner at a very high rate and make sound data driven decisions to the benefit of both entities. Ultimately, the poorly pitched Greenwich Reserve was discarded and the brokers elected to partner with Oro del Desierto largely because the marketing materials, significant capital investment into advertising, and overall market research were impressive and made the brand appear likely to succeed. The Second Act began with moderator Eddie Wirt welcoming the audience back to the fictional boardroom as the panelists sought to act out a typical listing pitch and meeting with Oro del Desierto and their broker. Oro del Desierto pitched their product and made sure to come with data talking about how their tequila capitalized on a rapidly growing market, drawing the attention of the jurisdictional representatives to data regarding key consumer insights, shopper insights, and categorical insights suggesting that this tequila was primed for success and filled a vacancy that existed within the market segment. The board asked questions and discussed depletions, brand support, and potential endorsements in evaluating the efficacy of this potential product in advance of more detailed discussions, where the jurisdiction representatives debated whether a onetime buy, limited release, special order, or all -in approach towards listing the product made the most sense for the jurisdiction. All in all, both sessions captured and mimicked genuine conversation that exists surrounding the listening process and brought a fresh and exciting approach to an important topic within the industry. Crack the Code: 3D Communication Strategies for Powerful Results Pamela Barnum has more than 20 years of experience working in the criminal justice system and was the only female undercover police officer in a large drug enforcement unit. She was also a federal prosecuting attorney. She used her real -world experience to talk about trust and collaboration strategies and techniques and offered tips on how to apply it in leadership and in overall human interactions. "Trust exists at the crossroads of strength and warmth or confidence and empathy," she said. In either extreme trust is not achieved with another person or yourself. She added that observing changes in speech patterns, body language like covering the mouth or eyes, facial Page -4- May 23, 2025 touching, and fake smiles are things to look for to gauge if someone is lying. Additionally, she suggests paying attention to contradictory statements. Barnum also encouraged attendees to pay attention to their body and internal cues that signal something is not right. She relayed a story about ignoring her own in an enforcement encounter where she was to have met a drug seller at a location. The seller brought another person she did not expect. She was sensing something was not right but kept moving forward as she wanted to make the bust. In the plan she and enforcement colleagues organized, the sellers and she were to have gotten in her car which was wired so anything said could be recorded. Instead, the unexpected individual coerced everyone into another car that was not wired and offered her no safety as they were also driving in the opposite direction of the planned sting route. Thankfully, her enforcement colleagues tracked the car's location and through a phone call her commander intensely told her to get out of the moving car, which she did by opening the door and rolling onto concrete. She also talked about the "Three D Negotiations for Success." Although it resonates with those in the financial industry, the tips are valuable in any environment. The first is Display; doing what you can do to demonstrate you are negotiating in good faith. It includes looking for non-verbal clues and body language of the other person. The next is Decode, which is understanding the other negotiator's goals, motivations, desires, wants and fears. This can help with developing an authentic connection with the other person. The third is Detection of suspicion and distrust. She provided tools using trust -based influence, tactical empathy and confidence, as well as how to notice red flags to deescalate and get a win/win result. She engaged the audience with some questions that resulted in the only person to remain standing winning a gift card to a renowned coffee store. There was indeed one winner! Some of the questions posed were: • The sound of our voice has a greater impact on first impression than the words we choose - True • Women are more unlikely to lie during a negotiation than men - False • People who display empathetic body language are viewed as less competent - False • People are more likely to tell high stakes lie when they are talking on the phone versus texting — True/False • Liars avert eye contact more than truth tellers - False She said, "Eye contact has nothing to do with deception. We all know how to look at the person when we lie to them." She added, "We want to be lied to and enjoy it." Journey to 2030: How to Leverage the Next Five Years to Become Your Industry's Most Admired & Forward -Thinking Company Renowned futurist Nikki Greenberg gave a keynote address about how to navigate trends such as Al, generational changes, and the evolution of the workplace. She spoke about the development of new technologies in waves of innovation and the impact they will have on industries and the world at large.
