RW: Yeah. I agree. I agree too. But if there's a conflict of a Petitioner or something <br />that close touches this last one we did, then we'd certainly want to come over. <br />CHAIR: Yeah. Well, we have done this... we've moved things for the Russi's, Russi and <br />Paul. We've done it for Mr. Tamaye in the past... gone to the scene. And we <br />could very easily, if there was a Petition that was in any way complicated we <br />needed to Ka'u, we could do that too. But, merely to have someone be able to <br />be in presence, I don't really see an economical value. <br />RW: Yeah. Do a teleconference. <br />SC: Why can't we teleconference? <br />BLT: There are difficulties with the Sunshine Law on teleconferencing. <br />RW: Oh. <br />SC.. I see. <br />BLT: Because you have to publish ahead of time where people are calling in from, <br />and if ... the biggest problem is if in the middle of the meeting his telephone <br />connection should go down, you have to stop the meeting. And you cannot <br />proceed with the rest of your business. And so we're still working out the kinks, <br />but it's very problematic. We have all this technology and we're not able to take <br />advantage of it. <br />CHAIR: Yeah. And in public meetings where the Sunshine Law applies, I have a great <br />problem of even the concept of either telephonic or television conferencing for <br />the very reason that she's talking about. Secondly, I think it's hard enough in <br />business when we have these telephonic conferences and it's static, and you <br />get all kinds of little things that show up, and what not. It's very difficult. <br />think... the issues that we deal with having to do with ethics are of sufficient <br />importance, should be done on a face to face basis with everybody. It would be <br />better for us to pick up and go to Kona even if it's for only one person, if It's <br />important enough... my personal feeling. Okay. That being said, anything <br />else? Okay, it's Tuesday, October 7t ", 10 o'clock some... probably some place <br />in Hilo will be determined. <br />BLT: We'll look for the availability either of this room the Liquor Adjudication Board <br />room or the County Council room. <br />RW: This is a great room. <br />BLT: Convenient for us. <br />12 <br />
