discouraging, it is disheartening. And it makes us suspicious when the new face comes on the scene and it’s going to be same business as usual. And no, nothing against you, Zendo. KERN: You know, I understand -. GALIMBA: I’m just speaking about our -. KERN: Totally. We’re going to have to, I’m kind of getting off the subject. GALIMBA: Thank you. KERN: Yeah, thank you. And, you know, I think like she said Public Works has heard, Planning has heard, as a Commission we’ve heard. So thank you. You may have a seat. Unless, no other questions for him at this time? What we’re going to do now, is there anybody that has not testified that would like to testify? Last chance. Raise your hand. Sign the form. All right. If you could just stop up there at the table and fill out one of those. And then what we're going to do is after the last part of public testimony is taken, we’re actually going to, -- little bit different than we normally do but it’s basically the same result -- we’re going to technically close the hearing. It doesn't mean you all have to leave. You all still get to be here and listen; and then we're going to move into deliberation. And we’ll have a motion, and discussion, and vote on this matter. It’s just a formal process of closing the hearing. CHONG: My name is Rodney Chong. KERN: Just give me one second please, but you’re on the right path. CHONG: My name is Rodney Chong. I live on Ainaloa Boulevard. My address is 16-150 Ainaloa Boulevard. And I am here to testify for the convenience store, Mr. John Hegarty. I think the police are doing a good job by being present on Ainaloa Boulevard. I see a lot of pullovers, you know. Things that you guys don't see every day I see. As far as the mailbox and the parks, I mean when people are not there, people are drinking in the parking lot. You know, most residents don’t see it but the police are present. And we’re having traffic slow down quite a bit from what I’ve seen for the past couple of years that I’ve been living in Ainaloa. And I think as a community if we all stick together and, you know, monitor our kids and, you know, drive safe, I think the store will be a lot of benefit to the residents there in Ainaloa. That’s all I have to say. KERN: Okay. Thank you very much. Any questions for the testifier? Seeing none thank you. You may have a seat. CHONG: Thank you. ONO: Excuse me, I did have a question. KERN: Commissioner Ono. ONO: Would you state your position. Are you in support of this? 19 EXHIBIT C
