<br />HENKEL: Mr. Nitche, Mr. Nitche, I still have the floor. <br /> <br />NITCHE: Okay. <br /> <br />HENKEL: You know, you spent $15,000 making a parking lot and doing a sign. But if you <br />don’t make the people use it, it’s not enough. You need to do whatever it takes to enforce that <br />what you’ve already committed to. And that’s -. <br /> <br />PEEBLES: Again, if you read that letter as it comes -. <br /> <br />ARAI: Microphone, please. <br /> <br />PEEBLES: If you read that letter as it comes across, I went to a Board meeting, I sat down with <br />them. I asked them, what do you want us to do? Provide more parking, okay. And I said what <br />else? Well, we want people, let them know they can’t do this. Hey, we’ll hire the police, we’ll <br />hire the police officers for two weekends to put this out because -. And, again, when you say <br />make people do something, you’re absolutely right. So I can’t make the person do that. I mean <br />we have other issues. We have one guy that you never know when he’s going to show up; but he <br />claims he’s Hawaiian blood and he has the right to do whatever he wants and we have none. I <br />respect his opinion. I think it’s shortsighted in today’s world. But I expect it, you know, I <br />respect it. Is it then my job to then police their road for something that’s completely unrelated to <br />that issue and to tell that gentleman to move? I’m not enforcement. And if the police who we’ve <br />hired say there’s not a problem -. That was part of the problem, I think, after this. But we did all <br />of that, we hired them, we produced parking, we told people they can be ticketed, the police <br />officers told them. We’ve done everything we’ve could. But, again, you run into some <br />individuals that claim private road, I pay my money, I’ll park where I want. <br /> <br />ONO: Mr. Chair? <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Okay, any questions, Commissioners? <br /> <br />ONO: Yes, Mr. Chair. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Commissioner Ono. <br /> <br />ONO: Thank you. My concern as was originally presented was the safety of the participants. <br />Okay, so that’s my, where I want to come from. Some of the comments you made regarding this <br />activity versus a church service or funeral or whatever in terms of the use of facilities or the off- <br />streets for parking, I have a problem with that. Because funeral services are not a regularly <br />scheduled activity, whereas the swap meet is a regularly scheduled activity. So you know that <br />you’re going to have a traffic problem on a regular basis, on a Saturday for example. I have a <br />problem trying to recognize your comment about off-street parking for funeral services, which is, <br />I hope is not a, you know, regularly -. <br />12 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
