Ms. Kahakalau: Do you have any contribution to the discussion before I call for the <br /> questions? <br /> Mr. Goodenow: So there is a motion to continue? <br /> Mr. Adams: No. There's a motion to hold an investigatory... <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Hold an investigatory hearing. <br /> Mr. Murai: I'm sorry. Mr. Goodenow because weren't present for most of the <br /> discussions...nonnally in order to participate or vote...you'd need <br /> to apprised of what happened. If Board member Adams' summary <br /> is sufficient for you to be apprised of what happened then that's <br /> fine you can go ahead and participate and vote. Although I would <br /> invite Counsel in case they feel that member Adams may have left <br /> something out... <br /> Mr. Adams: Sure. <br /> Mr. Murai: That you think is important for Commissioner Goodenow to hear <br /> so that he can be brought up to speed then this would be your <br /> opportunity. <br /> Mr. Eddins: Let me say this. What's been discussed prior to the contemplation <br /> of an investigatory hearing is the failure to particularize the <br /> complaint as to facts and I think you brought a point earlier that <br /> you know what evidence we have is newspaper articles. We don't <br /> even understand what questions might arise because we don't have <br /> any factual underpinning for the...you know for the petition. So <br /> that's a problem as far as any hearing or investigatory hearing is <br /> held. More where there's certain other provisions with respect to <br /> answering any formal investigatory hearing complaint which goes <br /> hand in hand with our point about no understanding with <br /> particularity what the precise accusation from the petitioner who <br /> doesn't seem to want to participate anymore has raised. <br /> Mr. Goodenow: Sorry I have a question. So...if we do have an investigatory <br /> hearing though...we are still at the informal advisory hearing <br /> stage. This isn't a formal hearing, it would still be an informal <br /> advisory opinion. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Yes...but one of the things that we would do for this particular part <br /> is to request both the petitioner and the respondents to attend and <br /> we will ask that question today. That's my understanding and if <br /> they do not consent to being here then we have the power to issue a <br /> 35 <br />
