Mr. Sing: I knew that this was gonna be set for this day. <br /> Mr. Robinson: Right. <br /> Mr. Sing: And exactly what is going to be set is unclear. I mean the idea that <br /> we're also asking for a hearing...your own rules say it then <br /> switches to an investigatory hearing and my understanding or at <br /> least we received nothing from the Board that you've undertaking <br /> any sort of investigation. <br /> Mr. Robinson: My question is why didn't you raise all this previously when you <br /> were here before and you or Mr. Eddins both were here <br /> before...different times...sometimes together....sometimes <br /> separately. Why didn't you bring this up? You came up and spoke <br /> before the Board. You never at one point said we don't know what <br /> kind of hearing this is. You understood clearly what we intended <br /> to have today and the we talked about delaying it until after the <br /> court case which we're more than happy to do because we felt it <br /> was the right thing to do and now it's like all of a sudden oh we <br /> didn't know what kind of hearing this is and your rules don't really <br /> allow you to have that. It seems a little disingenuous to have that <br /> discussion after the prior appearances before the Board by you as a <br /> layman...that's how it appears to me. <br /> Mr. Sing: I don't think that's the case at all. At the prior hearings the issue <br /> was deferment and we were not asked to specifically respond to <br /> the petitions. In fact that was the point is that we weren't <br /> responding and we weren't moving forward and that there was a <br /> deferment to ensure the fair trial of our Mayor here. The idea that <br /> now today we should capitulate and give up any sort of due <br /> process rights or fairness or the idea that we shouldn't be privy to <br /> what evidence you're going to consider before you issue a faunal <br /> ruling or informal ruling. I thinks that's somewhat disingenuous. <br /> Mr. Robinson: Okay. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Alright so I just want to double check with our Counsel...at this <br /> point asking specific questions is okay before we have a foinial <br /> motion? Okay so I basically expected the Mayor to be here since <br /> we did send a request that all parties attend this meeting and I had <br /> prepared questions for the Mayor. So my question is...is there any <br /> way that we can take a recess and the Mayor be here so we can ask <br /> those questions to him because it would make more sense to ask <br /> him then to ask you...right...because I mean that would be like he <br /> said she said kind of a thing. <br /> 25 <br />
