GIFFIN: Okay. Maybe while the staff is distributing that, I had a few questions that I thought I would ask. This is, as I perceive, Bill, a two-day event for this specific event, is that correct, not a three-day? BOSTOCK: That is correct. In this first year we want it to run on just Saturday and Sunday, a weekend event. GIFFIN: Thank you. There was no mention of allowing camping overnight of your concertgoers. Is this going to be something that you would permit or not? BOSTOCK: No. We are not intending to allow camping or any, any staying onsite overnight. Instead, we’ll have security looking after PA. GIFFIN: So security will go ahead and -. BOSTOCK: Including the vendors, they will be asked to leave. GIFFIN: So everybody will be asked to leave. BOSTOCK: Yeah. GIFFIN: Okay, so Saturday night, nobody else is there after 10:00. BOSTOCK: Yes. MOORE: Except for security. GIFFIN: Right. Thank you. My next question had to do with Condition No. 3 as proposed by the Planning Director – a comprehensive security and traffic control plan. And I think that that’s big; knowing that we are, you are anticipating 4,000 people, that’s kind of huge. So in terms of, just generally, and I mean this generically, aside from what has been presented to us in our background information, is there anything else that you would like to say in reference to that condition? BOSTOCK: Yes, thank you, Madam Chairwoman. I did produce a plan this week, earlier this week, and shared it with the Planning Department and with the police, and we’d expect to go into that in more detail with Captain Aimee Wana and others in the police and with DTS. I haven’t had any direct communication with DTS. So I have a draft plan, which sets out exactly how many private security and special duty police I would expect to bring in and where they would be stationed, and that is, that would be discussed with Police and with DTS. We also in the plan addressed how the traffic can be lined up along Waiki‘i Road so that it doesn’t back up onto Saddle Road; that’s the key intention, that we don’t allow a backup onto Saddle Road. GIFFIN: Okay. So I know that there is a ratio between the number of people and the number of security that is required. That ratio is something that you would honor? BOSTOCK: I haven’t been told what the ratio is, but, of course, I would honor, yes. I have proposed so far eight special duty and 30 special security and over 20 parking marshals; that’s what’s in my plan at the moment. I had a conversation with Captain Wana last night over the 4 EXHIBIT A
