Mr. Goodenow: I really appreciate it. <br /> Mr. Robinson: I like Tuesdays better myself actually. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Alright. For me either one is fine, however, the section "b" <br /> part about the other location is unfortunately a concern for <br /> me. When I was approached about being on this Council. <br /> The statement was made to me that the meetings will be in <br /> Hilo and I accepted based on that and I have to say it's not <br /> that I don't enjoy Kona, but I'm a primary care giver for <br /> my mother. And I'm not able to leave here for a super <br /> extended period of time which would be an additional three <br /> hours of driving to and from Kona. So I really bad if I <br /> would've know that that was a part of the deal which I <br /> know the other Council it is and I'm not saying that's...it's <br /> just my personal issue then I wouldn't have agreed to being <br /> on this Board because unfortunately I'm not able to make <br /> that kind of a commitment so that's just for all it's worth. <br /> Mr. Robinson: And for me I live in Kona and I don't mind driving to Hilo <br /> at all. So it's not a problem. <br /> Mr. Adams: I understand that part and I had jury duty over in <br /> Kealakekua for a year, it's not a big deal. But I think that <br /> it's not necessarily just us, right I think there's something <br /> about this Board in particular being present around the <br /> County at times. I know that there are technological <br /> solutions some of that and it is possible I guess the Council <br /> according to Counsel has on occasion be able to have <br /> different members at different meeting during their <br /> meetings because they can be present during video <br /> teleconferences or whatever. So that's an option that <br /> allows you to continue to serve and maybe allows us to <br /> have presence in some other parts of the County for our <br /> meetings to. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: I agree about the part about the Council you know being <br /> accessible in other places so I don't have any philosophical <br /> issues with that whatsoever and I would be happy to here in <br /> Hilo during that time. I don't have any problems with that <br /> as well. I don't know as far as running the meeting, it <br /> would probably make more sense for the person who is <br /> where the majority of members are. But I totally open to <br /> all of that, but I just wanted to discuss that. <br /> 29 <br />
