CHAIR: All right, well, we can ask Mr. Yagong if essentially I think it's just the past <br />few years' disclosure form. Mr. Yagong, have you seen that? <br />YAGONG: Yes. <br />CHAIR: Essentially your last, most recent <br />YAGONG: - -Yes. All elected officials are required to file financial disclosures. <br />CHAIR: Okay. Now a question for you, Mr. Yagong, is the one that is marked 2010, <br />does show source of income as Food Pantry, Ltd. <br />YAGONG: Yes. <br />CHAIR: So your employment there began and ended when? <br />YAGONG: I worked with Food Pantry 2000 to present. My employment never <br />ceased at Food Pantry. <br />CHAIR: Okay. On page 39 of the minutes, you're quoted as saying I am not affiliated <br />with Kalama Beach Corporation, I no longer work for Malama Market, I haven't worked <br />for them in over a year. <br />YAGONG: Would you like me to expound on that? <br />CHAIR: Sure, please. <br />YAGONG: At that hearing for Bill 283, the developer, Paul Ogasawara, asked at the <br />table that he wanted to ask Mr. Yagong a question, and his question was whether it was <br />a conflict of interest because I worked for Malama. At that point, as you notice, the chair <br />of the committee, Mr. Ikeda, at that time said that he would not hear that question, and he <br />actually tried to move on. But what I did was I said I want to answer the question. <br />CHAIR: Right. <br />YAGONG: And if you see the my answer was that I'm not affiliated with Malama <br />Market, that I haven 't worked with Malama Market for over a year, which is exactly <br />correct. When I worked for Malama Market, I worked as a district manager prior to <br />June I'm sorry, June 201h of 2009. At that point in time I went and I'm assigned to <br />manage Whaler's General Store at the King's Shops in Waikoloa, as well as the <br />Waikoloa Beach Shell. So that's actually where I work since June 20th of 2009. And <br />that's there until the present time. The hearing on this thing took place on August 17`h I <br />think, is the date in question. Iliad when I left, or when I did not I'm sorry, when I <br />went to work for Whaler's General Store, I had not even stepped into a Malama Market <br />until I think the 151h of August of 2010. And as district manager, I was in charge of <br />personnel, sales, profits, service and so forth. I am no longer district manager, and I <br />operate those two businesses in Waikoloa. So I have absolutely no dealing whatsoever <br />with Malama Market. Malama Market is a separate division from Food Pantry. And I <br />7 <br />
