with Brandi, I commend you on your work, you know, and I’m hoping that you can change the
<br />demeanor and the, I guess, reputation of the festival. Thank you.
<br />
<br />BOSTOCK: Thank you.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Any other comments? Bill, finally, you want to address some of these proposed changes?
<br />
<br />MOORE: Sure. And I would offer one comment before that, that I think if Tim doesn’t change the
<br />demeanor, there will not be a second revised Waiki‘i Music Festival. I think the bar is high. And
<br />he’s got to go back to his, the landowners every year. So, you know, it’s, again, we talk about
<br />safeguards and there’s a number of them.
<br />
<br />And first of all, just to confirm that we are, again, in agreement with the two proposed conditions
<br />that the Planning Department has, or the staff has added, again, providing the Director the authority
<br />to respond to complaints to address complaints and to suspend the permit if not addressed properly,
<br />to bring it back to you guys, also, to be real clear that we have to follow the representations made.
<br />We don’t mind a specific 3,500-ticket cap as being specific in the condition somewhere, if you want
<br />to do so as opposed to having it being implied in a condition, which we think is pretty clear anyway.
<br />You know, just a couple of real other minor technical conditions that we have handed out to you.
<br />The requirement is a three-month written notice to the Planning Department. Again, there is a
<br />constructive notice at the first event. We are hoping it to be in June, which is about two months
<br />away. So just to not be in technical default from day one on this permit, we just wanted to add
<br />some language in there that provides that, then from then on it’s a three-month notice. With respect
<br />to, and again, with respect to, there is something else in Condition 3, which is not here, and
<br />Condition 3 relates to the safety plan, security and safety plan; we suggest adding that the plan be
<br />developed in consultation with the Police and the Fire Departments.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Okay.
<br />
<br />BOWMAN: Police and Fire.
<br />
<br />MOORE: Yes. And that’s already being done and the coordination is committed to. And then with
<br />respect to the Conditions 4 and 5, we are asking that there be initial consultation on the location of,
<br />you know, making sure that the roads are okay and the fire water system is okay; we don’t believe
<br />that there is an ongoing need for that. The roads are not going to change, and the location of the fire
<br />hydrants and the fire supports aren’t going to change in time. Just like any other special permits,
<br />you grant it and you don’t have to have everybody come back every year to revisit. With respect -.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: So, excuse me, I’m sorry, Bill, so you are suggesting, then, Condition No. 4 -.
<br />
<br />MOORE: Yes, that we get the, provide notice to the Fire Department on the availability and
<br />adequacy of water one month in advance of the initial -.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Initial.
<br />
<br />MOORE: Hearing, as opposed to each annual. And similarly, with the other conditions, which
<br />relate basically to fire access, that we confirm that the roads are appropriate one month before the
<br />initial, and not have to do that on an ongoing basis. With respect to No., I should, on Condition 6,
<br />and again, this relates to – again, this isn’t in your handout, but there is another technical item, as I
