say thank you to the whistle blower, we want to encourage more <br /> people to come forward when they see injustice or corruption so <br /> that we can have a clean Council, a clean Mayor and a clean <br /> government. Thank you. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you very much. <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: Madame Chair if I may? I just wanted to remind the public that <br /> they have three (3) minutes to testify on each agenda items. So if <br /> they're testifying on more than one item, to let us know so staff <br /> can set the time appropriately. <br /> 4) Lanric Hyland(Kohala) signed up to testify on agenda item 5a,Resolution No. <br /> 2015-01. <br /> Mr. Hyland: Aloha Madame Chair and members. My name is Lanric Hyland <br /> and I would like to briefly comment on Petition 2015-01. Which <br /> involves Mr. Revell objection to County Council Dru Kanuha's not <br /> treating him courteously because he did not make time to hear Mr. <br /> Revell's point of view on pending or potential legislation. Our <br /> Ethics Code calls upon County officers and employees to adhere to <br /> the highest standards. That is a very high bar. Access to an <br /> elected official is one important reason why people make large <br /> campaign contributions to candidates. If I may paraphrase, if I <br /> make a large contribution, I will expect a large amount of <br /> candidate's time to listen to what I have to say. That is a high <br /> standard from elected officials to meet. But if I make no <br /> contribution to that elected officials campaign and I still expect <br /> him to meet and take time to listen to my views and opinions that <br /> would be the highest standard of Ethical conduct. That elected <br /> official is one who truly understands what it means to say I work <br /> for the people. When you issue your final draft of your informal <br /> advisory opinion on Petition 2015-01. I hope that is the standard <br /> to which you owe Chair Kanuha and all other County officers and <br /> employees. Thank you for listening to me. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Thank you. <br /> 5) Andrea Rosanoff(Hilo) signed up to testify on agenda item 4b. <br /> Ms. Rosanoff: Hello. My name is Andrea Rosanoff and I live in Pahoa, Hawai`i. <br /> Thank You for allowing us to meet with you and give some of our <br /> views of what all this is going on. I'd like to do, I only have I <br /> believe one issue. I would like to read to you a letter that I sent to <br /> the Hawai`i Tribune-Herald. I sent this on Friday, April 24 but it <br /> hasn't been printed so this gives me a chance to at least put it in the <br />
