Honorable Leslie H.

Council Members Higa, Nae'ole and Yoshimoto did not violate the <br /> Sunshine Law during the subject interviews on February 23, 26, and <br /> 27, 2007. <br /> 2. All discussion occurring at the February 23, 26, and 27 interviews were <br /> either (1) a permitted interaction of board members [HRS Section 92- <br /> 2,5(c)], or (2) discussion of items that did not constitute "board <br /> business" as defined by the OIP (Opinion Letter No. 04-01). <br /> We respectfully ask the OIP to determine whether the above findings are <br /> reasonable, and whether the OIP would reach the same conclusions, based on <br /> the facts presented. <br /> Copies of this letter are forwarded to the Hawaii County Council and the <br /> County Clerk for their information. Please contact me if further information is <br /> required. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> io—� <br /> LINCOLN S. T.
