coming from and don’t know where that Commission was coming <br />from. But I was there, that’s my read and I’ll turn my paper into <br />you okay. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: Thank you very much. <br /> <br />There were no further statements from the public. <br /> <br />3. APPROVAL OF THE REGULAR SESSION MINUTES OF AUGUST 13, 2014 <br /> <br /> Motion and Vote: Mr. Adams moved to approve the minutes. Ms. Kahakalau seconded <br />the motion. Mr. Balsis, Ms. Kahakalau and Mr. Adams voted aye. Mr. Henricks <br />abstained as he was not present at the August 13, 2014 meeting. <br /> <br />4. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br /> a. Petition No. 2014-09: Initial review of Petition alleging that County officers or <br /> employee are in violation of Section 2-83(a)(3) because, inter alia, Respondent <br />“questioned the actions and behavior of” Petitioner’s attorney and Respondent’s <br />“lack of decorum and disregard for public decency has embarrassed and <br />humiliated me in front of the public eye.” <br /> <br /> Mr. Balsis: I believe the petitioner is Susan Tita. Please come forward.

He spoke to me <br />as if I were, bluntly put, a piece of dirt. I didn’t think it was <br />proper. It was out of line when he began to call Ms. Jamae <br />Kawauchi a liar. She was not in attendance at that particular <br />meeting. She was also having to come before this commission on <br />an ethics violation that was not valid. He repeatedly, in front of <br />the public, referred to her as a liar, that she been, no one on that <br />commission seemed to stop him. It was, they allowed that, was <br />humiliating. So as a tax payer and a person who is first time ever <br />attending these meetings to be treated like that, it’s inappropriate. <br />He then said to me you have caused enough discomfort and harm <br />to the community of Hawaiian Acres, and it is time to push this <br />issue forward. It hadn’t even gone for, if I had standing. Ms. <br />Kawauchi was not in attendance, who was my attorney, and he was <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
