NEW BUSINESS • Discussion of format regarding the report for December 2007. Mr. Kaneshiro suggested inserting visuals in priority property list to give the Mayor and Council an idea of what the Commission was talking about. Ms. Self suggested going on site visits for certain parcels once it had been narrowed down. However, the Commissioner's are not allowed to talk about the priority of the property and how it would be ranked. You just have to go there and look and see the property. Ms. Self reported about the meeting with Finance and Corporation Council which was held on January 9, 2007. As a result of the meeting, it would be up to the administration to authorize negotiating. The Finance Department will have to see how much monies are in the fund and do what they can do that is within the fund. Mr. Yada stated the Commission can't control what the Mayor or the Council does. Mr. Flores stated someone from this Commission should go to meet with the Mayor and /or Council and explain the list verbally and address some of the recommendations at the same time too. Ms. Self stated whatever the Commission feels strongly about, the process or the list, they should include that in the report because it goes to the Mayor and it also goes to the Council. They get everything the Mayor gets, plus his recommendations and comments. ANNOUNCEMENT: Next meeting is on Monday, March 12, 2007 in Kona, at the Department of Liquor Control, Conference Room, 75 -5722 Hanama Place, Suite 1107, Kailua -Kona, Hawaii. 10
