10:40 a.m.: The Board left regular session. 10:55 a.m.: The Board returned to Regular Session. CHAIR: Mr. Yagong, did you provide a copy of that information to the secretary, by any chance? SCHOEN: -- That's okay, I have it. CHAIR: Okay, we got one. Okay, just to remind everybody where we're at. We had a motion to dismiss, two votes in favor of, one opposed, and one recusal. So we didn't have the three needed. If I could state for the record, my vote of opposition is simply motivated on the fact that I would like to gather a little bit more information on the Bill 283 and also allow for some time to review the map and the accompanying information that Mr. Yagong provided for us today. And that's the only reason why I voted against the dismissal. I will entertain a motion to continue this initial review till next month to allow for that time to review on my part. HEAKULANI: Second the motion. CHAIR: You've got to move it. HEA UKULANL• But you 're making the motion. CHAIR: Oh, okay. I move to continue the initial review again, just to clarify, not to move it into any formal or informal hearing, but just to continue the initial review to allow for me to review the information provided by Mr. Yagong and to review Bill 283. HEA UKULANI: Second. CHAIR: Any discussion? One question, if I may can you verbalize exactly what motivated you in the first place to file this petition? Obviously you felt there was some sort of conflict or potential conflict, but anything else? CADAOAS: I think what got me is when he proposed an amendment to hold the certificate of occupancy when they was willing to do the job, they were pushing it. It was like just adding pressure to it. That was not necessary. CHAIR: You're not employed by Long's or anything like that? CADAOAS: What's that? No, I'm not. YAGONG: Can I respond to that? CHAIR: Sure. 17
