Mr. Adams: I would also comment that last month we had a similar situation <br /> where the petitioners' did not come and we decided to in fact move <br /> forward with the petition and ultimately we have an order in front <br /> of us to actually verify the dismissal of that petition. So it's not <br /> outside the realm of possibility, we have precedent where we <br /> have in fact moved forward without the petitioners' here. So, yes I <br /> made the motion, but I'm prepared frankly to... given the fact that <br /> about an hour and a half before this meeting was going to occur. <br /> Was there some... Let me further delve into this. Was there some <br /> specific emergency situation that prevented the petitioners from <br /> coming and so they were trying at the last minute as a result. They <br /> had planned to come? <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: One moment please. I think we lost contact with... No they're <br /> moving. <br /> Unknown gentleman: Spoke from the general seating area about speaker in Waimea who <br /> was speaking on this exact issue saying that he had fallen last week <br /> and was not able to make it because of the fall last week. He was <br /> the first speaker from Waimea who addressed the exactly issue. <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: Okay, member Adams, so I'll read you the email verbatim it says <br /> here "I'm sorry for the last minute notice, but Chris and I are on <br /> the mainland and cannot make the meeting today. I realize it is too <br /> late for a telephone conference. We would like to request a <br /> telephone conference be setup for us for the next meeting. Please <br /> confirm receipt of this email. Thank you." So they're on the <br /> mainland and cannot make the meeting today. <br /> Mr. Adams: I appreciate the department coming. We did receive some type of <br /> information, however late that it was. This is intended to be an <br /> opportunity for the public to bring their concerns to this Board. So <br /> I will.... I made the motion, I'm going to vote in favor of the <br /> motion to continue. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: So, the email that their on the mainland came today? Is that what <br /> you're saying? <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: This morning, yes. Eight-fifty-eight this morning. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Well that to me doesn't constitute an emergency. That's...Unless <br /> the plane whatever something that had to do with the plane that it <br /> was supposed to arrive yesterday and whatever. Knowing that <br /> you're on the continent is something that you're aware of a day <br /> and a week before even when the agenda is made already. <br /> 11 <br />
