<br />Mr. Balsis: Greg, I’m sorry. Greg if you could come up there’s a chair here, <br />and at this point I’m going to ask for your response to the <br />accusations. <br /> <br />Mr. Henkel: Yes, first of all I’m sorry I missed the last meeting, I was at a <br />Planning conference on Maui. I couldn’t attend, but I submitted <br />some materials. Did you get that? It was the minutes of this <br />particular meeting that you’re talking about and my written <br />response to her allegations and I was wondering if you got those. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: We did, thank you. <br /> <br />Mr. Henkel: Okay good. In response, well you know first of all I like to say <br />I’ve served on a couple of voluntary board, commissions and I’d <br />like to thank you guys because sometimes it’s a thankless job, but I <br />know what you guys go through. So thank you for your service to <br />the County and the people. As far as her allegations I got the <br />rd <br />minutes to the July 3 meeting here.

On April 21 we found <br />out this was from the communication from Mr. Kanuha to us that <br />the Board of Ethics never got a request from Ms. Kawachi \[sic\] <br />th <br />that she said she had submitted on March 6 that day. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: Just to make a point there were some issues with mail and email at <br />that time I recall. <br /> <br />Mr. Henkel: Okay. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: In the very beginning _____. <br /> <br />Mr. Henkel: That was the information I had at the time so in the meeting when <br />st <br />we found out that on April 21 you guys hadn’t gotten her <br />submission, I said so Ms. Kawachi \[sic\] is sworn in to tell the truth <br />and obviously she wasn’t. Is that something that should be brought <br />before the Board of Ethics in itself, other than the original issue <br />which was her eligibility? That was the first thing I said. The next <br />thing I said, I happened to believe that the farmers markets and <br />8 <br /> <br /> <br />
