YAGONG: I really need to respond to that, because the only people in this whole County <br />of Hawai `i that has the authority and opportunity to make conditions to any zoning <br />amendment is the County Council. And when the County Council makes the decision, it's <br />based on whether the condition is in the best interest and provide public safety for the <br />community and for the area that that zoning affects. <br />CHAIR: Right. <br />YAGONG: No one else can do that, only the council. And the reason we put that in there <br />was to make sure that we have what everyone said they were going to do —just have it <br />in writing so that it would be done. And by the way, it was done. Even without the <br />amendment, it was done. <br />CHAIR: This part right here. <br />YAGONG: Absolutely, that was done, and it's made peoples' lives so much safer there. <br />So and that's why I voted for it at the very end. I did vote for the application at the end. <br />But I just wanted to say that no one else would have that opportunity, and it's up to us <br />as elected officials to make sure that we ask ourself, is the condition needed to make it <br />safe for the people there? And that's exactly what we did, or exactly what I tried to do. <br />And it happened, though, so I'm happy that it happened. <br />CHAIR: And again, please understand, this continuance or this motion for a continuance <br />is simply just for a little bit more analysis of what needs to be looked at. <br />HENRICKS: Can I say one more thing? <br />CHAIR: Yes. <br />HENRICKS: Sir, he's going to continue this until next month so he can get more <br />information, okay? For my benefit and I'm stuck on the first part of it, all right, that's <br />my problem, mentally. If you can provide me any information <br />CADAOAS: - -Did you read the whole minutes <br />HENRICKS: -­I read all the minutes. If you can let me go here, okay. If you can <br />provide me any further information to show that Malama had an interest in the outcome <br />of this, either pro or against, I would be interested to see that. Because at this point, <br />unless I can determine whether they had an interest in this, I can't even go any further <br />than that, because how can you advocate a position for them when there is no position to <br />advocate? And at this point I read everything, and I didn't see Malama involved in any <br />way -- <br />CHAIR: -- Okay -- <br />HENRICKS: - -Other than being across the street, you understand? That's what I can't <br />see. <br />IN <br />
