<br />ONO: Yeah, those. <br /> <br />FUKE: The north side being like Kaumana Terrace side? <br /> <br />ONO: Yeah. <br /> <br />FUKE: Okay. What we did was we went to each of those driveways and then tried to figure out like <br />what was the solution to improve their visibility; and that’s how we arrived at the solution. <br /> <br />ONO: Oh, I see. Okay, that’s fine. I’m not an engineer either so I wouldn’t know what I’m talking <br />about. <br /> <br />The other one I have though as a question is in the newspapers there have been questions about the <br />readily available medical services, the doctors are not coming to the islands -. <br /> <br />STROUD: Oh, staff, staffing issues. <br /> <br />ONO: So staffing. <br /> <br />STROUD: Sure. <br /> <br />ONO: So is this part of your development? Not for, in your whole total program, throughout the <br />nation, how do you provide for that? <br /> <br />STROUD: We bring, we can bring staff, if we need we can bring staff in. We also train, and so we do <br />our own training in-house for the majority of our staffing. We have licensed staff and then we have <br />certified nurses aids, and we do our own in-house training. So we train a lot in terms of making sure <br />that we have adequate staff. I would say prior to 2008 staffing was a much more difficult issue, <br />everywhere, than it is today. We found that we’re more readily available. We’re not seeing a real <br />issue within any of our facilities within the islands right now. And because we have enough of a <br />presence, oh, within the islands, we feel that we can continue to adequately staff if there’s an issue. <br />We also have limitations imposed on us. So it’s not like if I had 100 people in the building as residents <br />but I can only staff for 50 that we could do that. We tend to ramp up as staffing is available. And so <br />it’s something that we work with on an ongoing basis. We have a full-time employee generally who <br />deals with staff development and staffing, like Hale Anuenue, or the Hospital, or anyone else would. <br />So we’ll work within the community to get the staffing that we need. So that’s something at least <br />we’ve looked at preliminary and don’t have a great concern about. We know that there’s multiple <br />options. So I don’t know if that answers it but -. I’m not a staff developer either, but -. <br /> <br />KERN: Thank you. Any other questions for the applicant or the representative? I’ve just a quick one. <br />It’s not a land use issue. In regards to staffing, do you folks generally try to hire locally within the <br />community first -? <br /> <br /> 10 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
