Ms. Kahakalau: I'm sorry, but we need to vote first...we didn't finish <br /> procedure...just a moment please. Alright so all in favor of our <br /> motion? <br /> Mr. Adams: Can I have the motion read again. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: The motion was to receive these two documents...to file them and <br /> by doing that we're releasing them to the petitioner. <br /> Mr. Yoshimoto: So those two documents are dated September 27, 2016 and <br /> received October 11, 2016. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Alright any further questions? All in favor of that motion say <br /> aye...any oppose? Alright...Thank you. Go ahead Mr. Tucker. <br /> Motion and Vote: Mr. Goodenow moved to accept receipt of the two documents. Mr. <br /> Robinson seconded the motion. All members voted aye. <br /> Mr. Tucker: I have two complaints here today based on the County of Hawai`i <br /> building department. Based on the building department becoming <br /> from me and others the consistent source of bad information...that <br /> building officials have failed to meet their obligations under the <br /> Ethics Code to provide fair and impartial services to myself and <br /> other County residents and to avoid undertaking unwarranted <br /> privileges upon themselves. Incorrect and misleading information <br /> has a great negative effect on local business and personal lives. <br /> The building department in my opinion is acting to suppress <br /> economic activity in this County. Architects are telling me their <br /> shutting down their offices. Contractors and their crews are out of <br /> work. Some are moving away because the inefficiency of getting <br /> permits and being able to schedule their business affairs. In one of <br /> my cases, the department is illegally requiring permits for small <br /> projects specifically exempted from the permit process by act of <br /> County Council. While I understand the Ethics Board job is not to <br /> decide technical issues, it is my purpose today to examine the <br /> ethical issues of County officials denying equal and partial service <br /> to County residents and taking upon themselves the role of the <br /> County Council in determining codes under which all our citizens <br /> operate. To a degree...the two petitions today have some overlap <br /> and perhaps if Mr. Lee is here we can deal with him jointly and get <br /> him...allow him to get back to his office...I'm willing to consider <br /> that...Mr. Warren Lee I mean. Now this is slightly off topic...well <br /> I'll let that go for now. The...has the Board members had an <br /> opportunity to read my complaint? <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Yes. <br /> 15 <br />
