people there who were really interested in this and wanted the website. I couldnÓt deliver that at that point but they were intending to draw their own maps. Before the end of this meeting we need to be really clear about what the web site is and make sure everybody knows it. I really want to see us put out an ad that talks to the public about what this date we set is and what it means to prepare a map. ThatÓs all I have to say about it, and great Joe if you will go down and talk to those folks, thatÓs good. If we get other invitations, so be it. But until we have maps those meetings are going to be somewhat general in nature. CHR. SIRACUSA: So, we will just suggest that if some group wants to have a meeting, they contact Karen about it, she would contact the Commissioner whose district it is and take it from there. Now Joseph, are you willing to attend that Kawaihae meeting? MR. CARVALHO : Yes I am. I was planning to. CHR. SIRACUSA: Very good. I donÓt thinkwe have anything else to discuss on this agenda item. MR. KANUHA : If there is a group that requests a meeting and Karen gives me a call and says this group wants to have a meeting, personally, I would like to have Mr. Udovic there representing the County. That is just my opinion. Mr. Udovic, if you would be available to go to certain meetings, would that be okay with you; if we called you to as if you would be available to go to this particular meeting? MR. UDOVIC : Obviously, it will depend on my schedule. I have three or four trips out of the county in the next months and IÓve got depositions on the mainland and IÓm up at 2:00 a.m. doing depositions from New York, and so it just depends on the scheduling. MR. KANUHA: Okay, thank you. MR. MELROSE: Let me just clarify that Mike. You shared a concern that said perhaps you were less comfortable with individuals doing that. Now, I donÓt necessarily know why that is true, but I would like to hear your thoughts on it. Because if there is a reason why we should have an attorney present and not do it ourselves, then letÓs hear it. MR. UDOVIC: I donÓt have any problem with that, I just donÓt want somebody to try to hold you ransom; that youÓve got to this for me and youÓve got to do that. They have got to understand that you are individuals, and you are here to represent the interests of not only your district but also the entire County. ThatÓs all, just a very general kind of a thing. If people are comfortable doing the meetings, then fine, do the meetings. But, some people are not comfortable. MS. POINDEXTER: Part of your concern too, is will somebody say, ÐJoe was down Kawaihae and he said this, and he promised this,Ñ and that could lead into---You know the paper, they want to print things that people will read and stories that may or may not be true. So I understand what your concern is. We just have to be general and give basic general information. 22
