the contract was passed around to the commissioners to review. Mr. Yada stated the <br />process was designed around a Charette process with community group meetings. Mr. <br />Yada stated that it would tie in with a prelude into the Ka`u CDP process; which was <br />supposed to start at the end of the year. <br />Mr. Yada explained that a Charette process was an intensive group effort that consisted <br />of meetings with technical groups or consultants /experts and the public.
