PIIANAIA: Yeah, our group is basically an educational group. We work with kids, trying to <br />introduce them to the canoe and the cultural aspects of the canoe. And we operate with a little <br />money. And we need more time because we’ll be running our programs and doing, trying to get the <br />planning process, permitting and everything else done. Most of our help is volunteer; we do have <br />some people that are working, Lehua and Lani, in the office. But to get things done, we need more <br />time. <br /> <br />MOORE: Yeah -. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Bill. <br /> <br />MOORE: If I can. Yeah, and, you know, the six months hopefully is going to start soon. And the <br />heart of their program is in summer, and so their staff is going to be doing their mission during this <br />first period. So that’s really part of it is, you know, they are going to get focused on this project, but <br />their real mission is to educate, and that’s summer, that’s when everybody is just busy. So just, the <br />extra time to allow them to survive this summer and then really get focused on implementing this <br />plan. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Thank you. Duane, does that satisfy your question? <br /> <br />KANUHA: Yes, that was my understanding; they would be right in the midst of their training and <br />educational programs, and so they requested the extra time so that once they get through that <br />session, then they will be able to do what they need to do. And again, this is just with permitting <br />and validation requirements for the existing buildings that are already there. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Right. Brandi. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: So this wouldn’t impede their applications for new building permits then. The change <br />of use permits doesn’t impact them securing other building permits. <br /> <br />KANUHA: No, not this condition. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Okay. Any other questions? Did I read somewhere that there were some grazing cattle <br />on the property? I did, right? <br /> <br />DIRCKS AH SAM: Currently, in our pasture area indicated in this lighter green area, we had <br />horses that where community members that were looking for pasture land because of the limited <br />access to pasture lands out there for that type of use by the general community. They are no longer <br />on property; they found better pasture, greener pastures to be in. But our hope is to be able to run <br />livestock, one or two heads according to what’s appropriate for the size of the acreage, just to be <br />able to support our programs, because we are so grassroots and our hope is to be able to eat off the <br />land, as well as this ethno-botanical project. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: For sustainability. <br /> <br />DIRCKS AH SAM: Definite sustainability. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Okay, great. Any other questions? Hearing none, Bill? Norman? <br />6 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
